rec'd to me by a local foodie I met while having dinner @ Lotus of Siam one night.
per previous writer, this is a REAL ramen house. Even more "authentic" than the ones found inside Mitsuwa. Japanese owned and operated; still importing Japanese beer and high mountain green tea. it was 104deg F when we stepped inside the cool restaurant with heavily tinted windows. we had the first ramen bowls of the day and they were just fine. Not stupendous, but perfectly fine.
i had ordered a bowl of tanmen, which is essentially a bowl of Chinese home-style ramen in pork soup. Why not the typical miso ramen or shoyu ramen? Because tanmen, while extremely popular in Japananese ramen shacks, isn't found in too many ramen houses on the west coast due to its similarity to Chinese noodle soup.
This place represents a bowl of heaven in Las Vegas. It's about as truly Japanese as it comes, full of hand written Japanese menus on the wall, tourism posters, etc.
