| - Shoku Ramen-ya is the 5th or 6th ramen place I"ve been to in Las Vegas so this is an overall comparison.
Came in on Sunday for lunch and was able to get seated right away. Heres the run down on what me and my party got:
- Garlic butter bacon fried rice. Yum-O! The description on the menu couldn't get any better. Right when the dish came out, I could smell the oily garlicky bacon goodness. Yes it might have clogged up an artery or two but to me, it was well worth it. However, after we left the restaurant, my party couldn't stop ahem ahem-ing from all the oil apparently. Obviously, it was my fault for ordering it but I didn't expect all the mucus/phlegm to be coming up from my throat. Aside from the ahem-aheming, I thought the dish was quite tasty.
- Tonkotsu ramen. First off, I really dislike the noodles here. I like thick chewy noodles and these were more on the thin side which some people love, but just aren't for me. The broth itself however was on a a good salty level but like others have said, lacked depth and richness of the pork bone flavor. The chasu was alright. Wasn't a melt in your mouth kind of feeling.
-Buta-san ramen. Broth was even less impressive than the tonkotsu ramen. The egg however was done to perfection.
Overall, I would've given this place 4 stars except I left ahem-aheming trying to get the mucus out of my throat. With all the ramen places up popping up, I think there are other better options.
