| - While waiting for our tour at nearby Neon Museum, we decided to stop in and grab a quick bite down the street at the Ogden.
First impression -- very similar to Park on Fremont's decor with its artwork and wooden fixtures. Clean and crisp. It was pretty empty when we went. A few chairs looked like they were straight-up made from the material of moscow mule mugs. If this isn't a sign of another gosh darn hipster restaurant, then I don't know what is. As downtown Las Vegas continues to gentrify, it's no surprise that this place attempts to cater to the hip and the happenin'.
The BF got some chicken teriyaki bowl with the option of brown or white rice. Since this is a ramen place, I opted to try some soup ($10.50) Choice of thin or thick noodles (I chose thick) and choice of broth--tonkotsu, shoyu, or miso (I had shoyu) and all bowls already include: green onion, bean sprouts, braised pork, and a cured egg. They offer other add'l toppings for $1 each, so I added fish cake, but I honestly couldn't distinguish if it was added to my bowl or not.
I didn't have any whiskey sad to say, but I did sip on their watermelon lychee lemonade which was my favorite part of my meal. The ramen was just okay. There are several, more authentic places in town that beat them by a mile, but to be fair, I give props to this joint's ambiance.
