Something unexpected has happened...something that would have sounded inconceivable, just six months ago. Las Vegas has become the ramen capital of the Western Hemisphere. I know that sounds a bit daft, but hear me out. I travel to Japan regularly, heck I've, sadly, been to the Ramen Museum in Yokohama twice. I even just returned from Kyoto, where I ate what was supposed to be their best ramen. Honestly, it wasn't even close to what I just had at Misoya Tomi. The owners have recently arrived from Osaka, but I've never had ramen this good when I was actually in Osaka. The only ramen that compares is also served in Las Vegas, but by a Michelin starred chef (Omae). The two best bowls of ramen are both from Las Vegas...thus all hail the new center of ramen culture (both off-strip). Sorry, L.A.
