Prologue:
My girlfriend and I like to stay at an RV park on the south end of the Strip, which is right down the street from this restaurant. We usually arrive in town right around supper time, so this place made perfect sense as our first stop for some nourishment after a long drive up from Tucson.
The Plot:
We shared a bowl of Tonkotsu Shio.
The Scene:
The portion size was good and just enough for the two of us
The broth, which was pork based made with bone marrow reduction, was the star of this dish, as it should be.
You can tell the broth is really good when you keep drinking more of it then end up draining the bowl and leaving behind a mound of noodles that looks more like Mazemen than Ramen.
The soft boiled egg was also a nice, comforting addition to the bowl.
The Rest of the Story:
Our expectation at a restaurant specializing in Ramen Noodle soup was that we would be served a big bowl brimming with plenty of noodles and other ingredients, like you would be served when ordering Pho at a good Vietnamese restaurant.
My girlfriend commented about how the bowl we were served was only about three-quarters full.
The slices of pork were few and a little overcooked so the texture was more like the consistency of noodles.
Epilogue:
The soup was quite delicious, satisfying, and it succeed in warming us up on a chilly evening.
