| - Recently opened, this restaurant is located in Southwest side of Vegas. As the name of the restaurant "Omoide Noodles & Bowls" says, their menu mainly consist of noodles (choice of udon/soba in either hot/cold) and bowls with few appetizers.
ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere of this place itself deserves 5 stars. The interior resembles a lot like Omoide Yokocho in Sinjuku or Dotonburi Yokocho in Osaka. Just like the name "Omoide" which means memories, I was having a nostalgic moment as soon as I walked in. Aw, I would just come here just to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.
SERVICE
Quick, attentive and friendly. Servers here were all smiling and were quick to refill water/constantly asking if we are doing ok.
FOOD
I was craving some cold noodles and went with Shio Buta Bukkake. I went with Udon instead of soba. Food arrived within 10 mins. I looked at my bowl and was surprised at how simple it looked. Udon in tsuyu, with green onions and few pieces of shio buta on the side.
The soup, or tsuyu was on the saltier side but overall had a lot of flavor even though it looked so simple. I realized halfway that there were some yuzu kosho (seasoning made of yuzu peel, pepper and salt. Citrusy and refreshing) on the shio buta. If you get the Shio Buta Bukkake, then I advise you to mix the green onions and yuzu kosho together. Makes it more flavorful! As much as I loved this, portion was small and soup was too salty for my taste.
In addition to the bowl of noodle, I also ordered tempura mix. Mmh..for $6, definitely not worth it. Unless you are craving tempura, I would not order this. Few pieces of shrimp, along with vegetable tempura. It was just ok.
CONCLUSION
Would like to see more options on the menu. I would like to see tsukemen added to the menu since they mainly serve noodles and rice bowls, but just a suggestion. Will return again!
