So was wrapping up a 3 night vegas trip and wanted to grab some food before hitting up the airport. I had been eating all types of food during the stay but was really craving some solid Asian food and after a quick yelp search was able to find Udon Monzo. This seemed like the perfect spot since I had not had Udon in a while so made my way over to the spot. Parking is free in the area and plentiful so there should be no problems on that front. The joint itself is clean and decorated well with spots at the bar to see the folks actually making the noodles as well as normal tables. The servers greeted promptly at the door and was immediately seated.
Opted to sit next to the window to see the chefs making the noodles itself which was entertaining to watch. After perusing the menu, decided that we were going to go with the negitoro, the carbonara udon, and the Uni Udon. There are more traditional options but I was curious so went down this route. The negitoro is a "do it yourself" type wrap deal where they give you seaweed, tuna, cucumbers, wasabi sauce, and sauce to dip into. The dish itself was absolutely delicious and I was a fan of the wasabi as it set my nose on fire. The "soy sauce" dip was excellent also offering good contrast to the wasabi making this a great starter. The two udons came out fairly quickly afterwards and the portions are pretty healthy here. I also think the fact that we ordered fusion udons made it more filling as it was "sauce based" making it feel heavier. The noodle consistency was good for both dishes and was to my liking. The carbonara was good and certainly I ate a good amount of it but it lacked some of the Asian fusion esque I was hoping for and seemed to be made in the more traditional Italian sense. Perfectly fine but a but just not as interesting as I was hoping for. The Uni udon was good as well but I was disappointed to not see pieces of udon in it. Both of the broths were a bit rich for me especially when that's all the table had so would definitely recommend ordering a non "rich" udon if you are ordering one. With this said, perfectly good and definitely hit the mark on solid udon.
All in all, a great spot in vegas to pick up some udon and I will be back to try some more of the traditional udons.
