Came here for dinner with a reservation from Open Table. We arrived in Las Vegas one hour earlier and they were gracious enough to bump up our reservation and seat us immediately. That was just the beginning of great service. Our server and other people serving in the dining area were all friendly and pleasant. Water glasses are always filled, your napkin is folded when you leave the table, they ask if you have questions. The place does get loud but the décor is beautiful. I love the view of the strip from our table. They have a seating area that you climb some steps to get too and there is a sliding sort of wooden window that they can close for privacy if you have a private party or open for just casual dining.
We ordered (1) chicken karaage buns - the burst of flavors in this bun is wonderful. The bun itself is soft and sweet which contrast perfectly against the crispiness and
savory flavor of the chicken. This is a must!
(2) Spicy Sichuan Rice Cakes - pork sausage, broccoli, crispy onions. We had no idea what to expect with this dish and it surprised us in a great way. The mix of textures and flavors are amazing. A winner.
(3) Pork Ramen - pork belly & shoulder, slow poached egg. This is not the ramen I am accustomed to. It is not as fatty and flavorful as the tonkotsu ramen that I prefer but it was also good. I love how al dente the noodle is.
If you are from the West Coast and have been waiting to try chef David Chang's creation, you must visit Momofuku at Cosmopolitan. Don't forget to make a reservation.
