Brother had another win this weekend! So the story goes that the famous Santa ramen moved from this location and Dojo ramen moves in. Santa Ramen’s chef stayed and therefore, the quality of delicious ramen stayed.

Who reins supreme in ramen in Vegas? Monta Ramen! I’ve been dreaming about a fantastic ramen-ya in Vegas for years ever since trying greats like Daikokuya in LA. Finally, the time has come and we can have a legit ramen-ya in Las Vegas.

Chef Toshi never disappoints with Omakase. Albeit, we’ve eaten pretty much the same variety of fish for the last few years here like the usual butter fish, Kanpachi and toro, but I can still appreciate it each and every single time because the quality fish and [...]

The high ratings on yelp brought us into this sushi/seafood joint. Looking at the crowd, the place seems very popular among some locals and a lot of tourists.
So here’s what we had:

Yes, it’s supposed to be another outpost of Chef Masayoshi and his famous Masa in New York, but somehow I can’t help but feel that we got seriously robbed. As evidence of an uncrowded Saturday night, I think other people realized this, too.
What [...]

Turned off by the thought that it is indeed the trendy sushi place to be, but also attracted to it because EVERYONE says it’s sooooo good, I finally gave in and went to sushi fever.
Being in Las Vegas, I have incredibly low expectations for the [...]

Hello, LA Times Food Section featured restaurant!!! Thanks, Patty, for the suggestion!
1. Man Tou, toasted with sea salt, rosemary and butter – simple and elegant. Who would of thought to pair a rice bun with rosemary? Brilliant, though I wouldn’t pay for it…. [...]

Soup tasty enough. Noodles not fresh and chewy enough.
Conclusion: Mediocre to average. Good for a fix if no other options.

I tried the green tea mochi icecream and the strawberry mochi icecream. The mochi itself comes out pretty firm from the freezer, but starts to soften up as you eat it. The icecream inside is creamy and mild in flavor.
