| - After getting tuned onto the deliciousness that is ramen during a stay in LA's Little Tokyo, I've been a hale and hearty adventurer on a vegetarian RamenQuest™ ever since!
The oft mentioned pinnacle of my quest here in Las Vegas is Miko's - who provide vegetarians with their own special menu featuring a vast variety of vegetarian rolls, udon, and yes - that most elusive of vegetarian dishes - ramen noodle soup that is not made with pork, beef or chicken broth.
MIko's did not disappoint! The broth was deeply flavored and tasted like, well, like they craft their food with care and quality. The noodles were thin and had great texture, while the veggies (which change from day-to-day from what I understand) mostly peas, spinach and asparagus this time - had been slightly roasted and caramelized then cooked until crisp tender. Perfect. A friend ordered the vegetarian sukiyaki and it looked amazing - something new to try for next time.
The only minuses were the food took a really long time to come out of the kitchen - and the place wasn't that busy on a Sunday evening. My husband ordered the Veggie Tempura roll and while he said it was tasty, it was one of those super large sliced rolls that is so loosely packed it's impossible to pick it up with just chopsticks, or your fingers for that matter, without it completely falling apart. I didn't even try...
Overall I highly recommend Miko's to those on a veggie forage voyage. A really, really nice stop-over on the RamenQuest™ journey.
