| - Ever since Monta closed down on Eastern, the Henderson area has been barren ramen-wise. I was excited to see a ramen restaurant open up and had some high hopes. My food was decent, but it's not something to rave about.
They're located in the former restaurant, Noodle Pot. I was a little sad to see it go, but man, I do love ramen. It's a bittersweet feeling. Their interior decor is pretty spot on. It's modern, sleek, and inviting. The central table has a cool/interesting plant centerpiece, and their choice of decor/paint makes the restaurant feel very intimate.
My friend ordered the char siu ramen, and I was feeling zesty, so I got the kimchi ramen. The kimchi itself had a nice crunch accompanying that signature spice and slightly acidic flavor. The downside to my ramen was that the kimchi drowned out the flavor of the broth. The broth is really strong with that one.
The char siu ramen's broth was nice and nutty. I really liked that broth over my own and found myself sneakily stealing spoonfuls from my friend's bowl. The char siu itself was a little different from your usual pork.
Overall, the service and char siu ramen is good here. I probably wouldn't get the kimchi ramen the next time I go. The location is perfect for where I live, so I'll be returning to try different dishes in hopes that the other ramens change my mind.
