| - 5 of us came here for lunch today during peak lunch hour. The parking lot was super easy to park in and we ran inside to put our name down on the list. They had signs saying that they won the ramen award in 2016 for Las Vegas.
It would've made it easier if they took reservations, but given how popular they are, it makes sense that they don't need reservations. Our wait was about 15 minutes long and the waiters were very efficient at turning the tables around. I was even thinking that next time I might do take away because they were efficiently packing ramen to go, carefully packing the noodles and broth separately as to not mess up their masterpiece.
Once seated, the waitress took our drink orders, then lunch orders. They were quick, kind, and to the point. We ordered a chicken kaarage for the table, which I only took a bite of because I was saving room for the ramen. It was hot and tasty, but the batter was a little slimy in texture--interesting observation, I know! I ordered the Tori Ramen, which is made with chicken broth and has chicken chashu. I was starving and it was delicious! I did think it was a little too salty for my liking, and next time I'd likely add the spice bomb to give it more of a kick, but all in all, it was very good! I didn't even leave a drop--that's how hungry I was. The rest of the table ordered different types of ramen with different added toppings--everyone reall enjoyed their food but also thought it was on the salty side.
The food tasted good, customer service was great, and it was pretty cheap--$7.50 for the chicken ramen! Restaurant and restroom were also very clean. Will definitely be back--and can't forget to bring the stamp card! 4 ramen stamps = 1 free appetizer, and I'm looking forward to trying the gyoza next time!
Tip: try to go in not peak food hours to get seated faster!
