We make a point of coming here every time we are in Las Vegas to get menu items we cannot find in Denver -- notably takoyaki (balls of octopus encased in fried batter) which is not on the menu here but is made cheerfully whenever we ask for it. We added the lunch special of tonkotsu (pork broth) ramen with fried rice. There was plenty of soup for two people, and the waitress thoughtfully brought an extra bowl without being asked. The only drawback to me was the pork in the soup; it was tough and tasted a little...old. Not spoiled, but not good. The rest of the soup was great. \n\nWe had thought we might order more, but no -- we were pleasantly sated. I also had a Sapporo draft which complemented everything perfectly. An excellent lunch. Free wifi, too!\n\nNo more Choco-Babies in the little market, although there are many good items available."^^ . . . "5"^^ . . "2"^^ .
