*This review is based on the grand opening. I'm sure to go back to Hiromaru and see if I'll make any changes to my review*
Saw that Hiromaru was opening a location in Vegas and I was excited. I had gone to the Japanese festival and tried their ramen months ago. I loved it so this was big news.
I came here on the grand opening and was greeted by a huge staff. They were all so welcoming! The interior is pretty hip with its red and white decor.
My boyfriend and I already knew to get the carbonara ramen because that was what we tried at the festival. Carbonara ramen is $10.95. Pretty pricey in my opinion. We also got a chashu bowl for almost $7. After ordering we were given complimentary salads. The salad had a refreshing dressing on top.
We got our chashu bowl first. The chashu is topped with chopped greens and a sauce which I don't know the name of, all on top of rice. If you've been to monta, it's nothing like it. I personally prefer fried chashu. This pork seemed to be steamed because of how soft it was. Don't get me wrong, it still tasted fine!
Now onto the ramen. The carbonara has THICK noodles with a milky tonkatsu broth. It comes with bacon, but I switched it out for chashu for no charge. Lastly, it has an egg yolk on your spoon that goes with it. The broth was thicker than what I had at the festival but it still tasted great. If it was thinner it'd be perfect. The noodles were huge. It's like udon except harder. I don't know how to feel about the noodles to be honest.
The ramen tasted different than what I had at the japanese festival. It was kinda disappointing but the ramen was appetizing regardless. I'm sure to go back and try their other ramen.
