| - Sigh. I'm sad because I actually quite enjoyed the meal that I had here. What I didn't enjoy, however, was the food poisoning I had afterwards. Usually, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where food poisoning originated from, but in this case, my friend and I both got food poisoning and this was where we ate together.
I ordered the pork belly bun and their pork belly ramen. The pork belly bun was pretty flavorful, the pork belly was extremely fatty but super tender. I wish there was a little bit more pickled veggies to cut the fattiness of the pork, but all in all, the pork belly bun was really enjoyable. Pretty small for the price point, since they only give you one bun. I wouldn't exactly say it's worth the price, but it's definitely worth it to try once.
The pork belly ramen, on the other hand, was very flavorful and beautifully presented. It had bamboo shoots, seaweed, pork belly, a soft poached egg, and more. The noodles were cooked on the softer side, but still with the right amount of firmness. The broth was super salty, but paired well with the noodles. The pork belly I got in my bowl was basically a slab of fat. It was really good! But still, I can't fathom the thought of just eating a steak of fat.
Service was good. There was no wait. The restaurant is located inside the Cosmopolitan. We were charged $1 per person for water, and we were given no warning which water would cost what. The restroom is nice, but there's only one per gender so the wait can get long for the women's restroom. Prices are standard for what you can expect in vegas, but considerably expensive anywhere else.
Honestly, if it weren't for the food poisoning, I'd give this place a solid 4 stars.
