Read MoreOne of the greatest things about living in Las Vegas is that we have so many restaurants to try; however, as much as we'd like to attempt it, it's basically impossible to try every restaurant in this city during your lifetime. On the other hand, having so many restaurants can be overwhelming at times because for one, trying to find the best ramen shop in this city is rather difficult since there are so many to choose from. Recently, on 14 Aug 2024, my family and I visited Moko Ramen for the first time after finding this via Google search. As with all new ramen restaurants I've experienced in this city and in my lifetime, it's always a mystery on what would separate that business from everyone else with respect to ramen shops. But this restaurant has accomplished this and we were thoroughly pleased with our first (but certainly not our only) visit...and here's why:
First, the service was outstanding! We had the privilege of meeting the owner of the restaurant since she was the one who happened to serve us that evening. Needless to say, we experienced a wonderful conversation with her and she did an amazing job in explaining the menu items to us. We've never had the opportunity to get to know the owner of a ramen shop so it was a unique and enjoyable experience. The service from the entire restaurant staff was extraordinary because the food was prepared fast and efficiently, which leads me to my other (and main) reason why this ramen shop was (and is) different from others in a positive way.
The food quality was unprecedented! We ordered the Beef Gyoza for our appetizer; Chicken Katsu Curry Plate, Black Garlic Ramen, Yuzu Shio Ramen, and Create Your Own Ramen (w/Miso Broth, Pork Chashu, Chili Paste, Egg, Garlic Chips, Kikurage, Nori, and Spinach); and Cappuccino and Green Tea Macarons. The gyoza was cooked to perfection as we gobbled that down really quick. The Chicken Katsu was fresh and absolute; the curry flavor was impeccable. My family loved their ramen and I thoroughly enjoyed my Miso Ramen. The broth in each ramen was remarkable and flawlessly seasoned. I know people may disagree with me, but this place has THE best pork chashu I have ever eaten at a ramen shop. I am a huge fan of grilled meats so the grill marks, along with the natural grill flavor complimented our ramen that evening which had us talking about it even after that visit. The Macarons were superb; I always enjoy the Cappuccino-flavored one. The one, minor negative thing for me would be the lack of bean sprouts at this restaurant. I know the majority of people may not be fans of it, but I love having a bunch of fresh (not canned) bean sprouts in my ramen. Otherwise, the options they provided were splendid!
The prices at this restaurant were very reasonable and I highly respect the business owner(s) for their continued support to the active men and women of the Armed Forces, including its Veterans - thank you for that! The only potential drawback to this restaurant is that it may appear to be inconvenient to visitors staying either downtown or on the strip, but rest assured, it isn't difficult at all to get to - it is 100% worth the drive/rideshare! I highly recommend this restaurant to all locals and visitors. I will be shocked if anyone leaves this restaurant disappointed.
