Eating noodles straight from the pack can be a bit boring. On the contrary, adding an egg, rich broth, and veggies can turn your flat bowl of noodles into a mouth-watering delicacy. If this sounds appealing, you can try dozens of authentic Vegas ramen shops. We’ve handpicked five such restaurants below:
1. Moko Ramen Bar
Moko Ramen Bar serves authentic Japanese recipes, including Takoyaki, Shrimp Shumai, and Beef Gyoza. It also specializes in ramen bowls, with options to customize the ramen with varying broth and toppings. Try the yellow curry ramen, comprising thick noodles in veggie broth, with chicken, spinach, shredded cabbage, green onions, and red relish toppings.
Other popular ramen bowls here include garlic spicy miso ramen, fiery red ramen with your choice of protein, shoyu ramen, and rib tonkatsu ramen. Moko Ramen Bar runs a rewards program where customers get free food and enter a drawing to win $500.
2. Tomi Ramen & Sake Bar
Tomi Ramen & Sake Bar is an informal eatery serving Japanese ramen in Vegas. The restaurant serves its Tomi Signature Ramen in nine customizable options for vegan and non-vegan guests. Typical ingredients and toppings include thin noodles served in Tonkotsu broth, an egg, chicken breast, flamed seafood, and veggies. Guests decide to have a bowl of ramen, spicy or non-spicy, choose noodles or steamed rice, and select between chicken breast, tofu, and pork belly. Other meal options include Tomi Sushi Hand Rolls, Bulgogi Egg Rolls, Tomi Special Fries, and seaweed salad.
3. Ramen Tatsu
When Wayne Kageyama reopened Ramen Tatsu away from busy Chinatown, he focused on preparing delicious and healthy Tsukemen Ramen recipes at affordable prices. This strategy makes Ramen Tatsu a popular Ramen dining place in Vegas. Top on its menu list includes Tonkotsu at $10.99, Tonkotsu Shoyu at $10.99, and the signature Tsukemen at $14.99. The authentic Japanese ramen has Tonkotu Shoyu as the base, with eggs, green onions, seaweed, Chasiu as toppings, and an additional bowl of noodles and soup.
4. Monta Japanese Noodle House
If you’re near Chinatown, west of the Strip, visit the Monta Japanese Noodle House for authentic Japanese Ramen. Unlike other Vegas Ramen shops that use readily available ingredients, Monta Ramen sources its key ingredients directly from Japan. Its flavorful Kurume-style Tonkotsu Ramen is served hot or cold. It has such ingredients as pork broth, unrisen noodles, dried seaweed, pork Charshu, and Takana mustard leaf.
5. Ramen Sora
Ramen Sora is an authentic Japanese ramen shop run by Japanese chefs Yoshinari Ichise and Tomio Takada. The duo prepares their ramen bowls in four main flavors. Choose the signature Miso base and try the original Sapporo-style miso ramen with the same taste as in Hokkaido, Japan. Or ask for ramen in original Shio broth. It’s made with a seafood base and has an “umami” flavor. You can also have your ramen in Shoyu broth with a deep aroma of roasted soy.
