| - (Update: this place is always jam packed with people now. It has earn the reputation of being the best place in town for ramen). Due to all of your rave reviews I was compelled to give this place a try. (I can just hear my dad saying, "if everyone jumped off a cliff would you jump too? If it were into a yummy ocean of noodle soup, hell yeah!)
This little gem is hidden a bit back from the road and does not have a huge eye catching front. It modestly blends in with the rest of the shops. As you enter you will be greeted by the cooks, servers, and maybe a few customers. It is a simple small noodle shop fighting the Vegas Heat with a weak AC system and a multitude of fans. Was it warm? Yes sir, very much so. But my good friend told me, that regardless of the heat we should endure and it would be worth it.
We sat at the rotating wooden stools at a lovely solid one piece of wood bar. Service was immediate and friendly. I found the very short menu to be a relief from the pages and pages of food offerings of other establishments. I often have trouble deciding what to eat, and then leave with regrets if I did not enjoy my meal. Neither would be the case today. I have heard a hero of mine speak of restaurants that only make one thing, but they make it better than anyone else around. I hoped for a similar experience.
I quickly decided on the Tonkotsu Ramen with tamago, chashu, mustard cabbage, and green onions. I noticed from everyone's pictures that many of us decided on the exact same combination. Great minds think alike right?
A few minutes later a large hot bowl of aroma and color found its way to me. I dug in and didn't stop till the bowl was tilting to my face and the last drops of soup were tickling my tongue. I love the thinner noodles over udon, so I am a bit biased here. The noodles where not over cooked for my taste and the broth had great flavor. The Chashu I got was soft and delicious. Everything just seemed to go together perfectly.
If I were judging this restaurant against all noodle places in vegas, 5 stars. But since I have had some outstanding noodles in California that I set my standards by, I'll give this 4. Don't get me wrong, this place is great, and I will be back, but I am saving the 5 star rating for a place I love in California. I just need to eat there a few more times and make sure that it wasn't just the one time.
