| - Before I talk about the quality of the food and service at "Anime Ramen", I first want to address something that has caught my attention. I have lived in Las Vegas for a long time, and noticed the rivalry and dislike that many of the Asians have for each other here. As I read the reviews below and the reviews for many other Asian owned establishments here on yelp, I notice that there is always a group of conservative Japanese, Filipino, and mainland Chinese yelpers who give negative ratings to a business all on account of the owner being a member of an Asian nationality that they dislike. Most my family immigrated to America in the 1800s from Japan, and since the beginning we and all the Chinese, Koreans, and other races of Asians, TOGETHER had to endure Anti-Asian laws, discrimination, internment camps, and mass deportation. They banned our marriage, they put us in concentration camps, they deported us, they taxed us for just being Asian, they took our houses and savings, they rioted and burned down our businesses, and they took away all our freedom and dignity. They didn't care what particular type of Asian we were.. we were all the same to them. As Asian-AMERICANS, we ALL had to endure the same discrimination TOGETHER. Instead of hating each other, we should be united especially due to our history of enduring hate. This is America, and we all have the right to be here and we should all live together in peace. If you disagree with that, and dislike diversity then go back to whatever Asian country you came from and leave us Asian-AMERICANS alone.
Getting to the subject of "Anime Ramen". I personally believe that "Anime Ramen" has a better Miso Ramen than the much more popular "Monta". Though I think that "Monta" has the best Shoyu in the world, I think that the Miso Ramen isn't that great. As we all already know, Miso Ramen is my favorite food in the world. I like Miso Ramen more than I like crack and various other narcotics(just kidding, but I really do love Miso Ramen). "Anime" has a thinner yet more flavorful Miso broth that I really enjoy. The broth is very similar to the popular "Chin Ma Ya" in Little Tokyo, LA.
One of the best things about "Anime Ramen" is that they throw in many of the sides for free. At "Monta", they charge extra for corn, eggs, and a 3rd slice of Charsiu. At "Anime", you get the egg, 3 slices of charsiu, and the corn all included. Also, "Monta" makes you buy extra noodles on the side because they don't give that much in the first place. At "Anime" you get a lot of noodles, and a bowl of broth which is probably about 30% larger than other Ramen houses in Las Vegas.
Surprisingly, they also have really good french fries here for people who can't eat Asian food. This is great because I have a lot of European friends who just cannot eat anything that comes from Asia(picky eaters). I wish they had those Teriyaki fries that you get at Hawaiian restaurants, but what they got here is good enough. I really recommend getting a side of their fries!
The best thing about this place is that there is always a seat open. Sometimes at "Monta" I gotta wait 30 minutes to an hour to get a seat. I have never had to wait to be seated here at "Anime".
Maybe the one problem I have here is that servers tend to be a little creepy and have way too much energy. As soon as I took my chopsticks out of the paper wrapper, the Neon Anime Girl sprinted over to me, took the wrapper out of my hand then ran across the room and threw it away in the trash can. Then a few minutes later I used my napkin, and the moment I put it back down on the table she sprinted over again, took it, and then ran away. I didn't even see her coming that time. It literally looked like she came out from under a table. BTW, I like to use my napkin more than just once you know... The weirdest thing was that I told my server that I thought that the Miso Ramen here is better than "Monta", and she got all shocked and practically told me that it is not nice to say bad things about other restaurants even if they are competitors.
I guess you can tell that the owner is not Japanese by the interior design. The art that is displayed on the walls are from Japanese anime's that were popular in America but not extremely popular amongst Japanese anime critics, such as: "Naruto", "Pokemon" and "Sailor Moon". A few years ago I went to an Anime themed restaurant which was owned by a man from Kobe. His restaurant was decorated with art from animes which had a lot of cultural significance in Japan, such as: "Mazinger Z", "Battleship Yamato" "Galaxy Express 999", "A Girl of the Alps", "Cutey Honey" "Candy Candy" and "Mobile Suit Gundam". That's the first clue in identifying if the place is actually Japanese owned, but who really cares about that. Even if this place was owned by someone named Marco Antonio Lopez, I would still come back here everyday because the service and food is really good.
