In town for a college visit and stopped in for some ramen. Quaint spot on a strip with a parking…read morelot. The restaurant is small and quiet but clean. Service was good and the food was pretty tasty. We started with the beef kushiyaki, chashu tacos and a rocky shrimp roll while we waited for our entrees. The tacos were amazing, full of flavor, nice twist to a taco, meat was tender, sauce was sweet but tangy. The sushi was full of shrimp and spicy crab and had a nice size, if you're looking for a cooked roll. I had the spicy miso beef ramen and added shrimp. Not spicy as I would have liked, but still flavorful. Their spicy is on the mild side for all dishes. My son had the chicken katsu ramen which came with a side of chicken. He loved it, no complaints. My husband had a noodle dish (can't recall the name) with chicken, shrimp, beef and vegetables. Bold flavor with just a little spice. He cleaned his plate. Overall, we agreed we would return. Definitely a good place to stop in for a quick eat.

Izumi Ramen really did their thing…read more The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly -- not too soft, not too firm. Everything tasted super fresh, and the portion size was definitely worth it. You can tell they don't play about their ramen. The vibe inside was nice and cozy, and my food came out pretty quick. Customer service was friendly too, which always makes the experience better. If you're craving a good bowl of ramen, Izumi is definitely the move. I'll for sure be back

If you are looking for flavor bombs this is the place to eat. I order the black tonkotsu ramen. Holy moly. That's what I said after every single bite. The broth was so flavorful and delicious. I did get the combo with the gyoza and house salad. The gyoza is fried and delicious with a sauce that is packed with a punch. So yummy!! My husband ordered the karaage chicken ramen. I love that the chicken comes on the side. It crunched and cooked to perfection. Again the broth is so full of flavor. This place gets a 10/10 from me. If we are even in the area we are eating here again.

We arrived 15 minutes before opening and were allowed to set in the waiting area until they were ready to seat us. Dayan our waitress was incredible, I think we should start recognizing this type of exemplary service. The appetizers was the calamari, and treasure island which was a delicious sushi appetizer. The calamari flavor was seasoned different but in a great way. It's like they have their own signature flavors. The Bento boxes were excellent value, and the 2 for 11 dollar sushi rolls were excellent with the added benefit good value. Do get the salmon, fried crispy, just a wonderful bite. Love the open and inviting ambiance. Beat we've had in a while, and the service is second to none. Oh don't forget they have a cotton candy machine, cool to watch.

We opted for a Pork Ramen bowl and a Poke Bowl. The ramen broth had flavor depth as if it had been simmering for a millennia! The charred pork added a meaty touch. Would 10/10 recommend. The Poke Bowl was a steal at under $15. The chunks of spicy tuna were big and plentiful. Each and every bite was more delicious than the last. The restaurant itself is incredibly clean and the staff is attentive and quick with the service. The prices are awesome, just like the food! Please do yourself a favor and eat here.

There are not a lot of Asian options in the LC area but when I do come across one, I'll usually…read moregive it a try. This is only a few minutes away from the casinos and conveniently located in a plaza with multiple retail stores that I like to shop at so it was a no-brainer to stop here for lunch. I won't hold it to the same standard as Japan's or even NYC's ramen restaurants but generally speaking, the taste here is alright. The broth is standard, but the marinated egg was just slightly on the saltier side (I typically make mine with sweet or low sodium soy sauce - they also sell sodium-adjusted soy sauces for soup and marinade purposes in many Asian supermarkets as well as online). The chashu pork, in contrast, was underseasoned... which was disappointing as it's considerably the best ramen protein for many. I didn't expect much from the vegetable spring rolls since I already knew they were frozen and they turned out just as expected, only smaller. The presentation was 10/10; the taste, not so much. Aside from the underwhelming flavors, we did receive commendable customer service from this girl who was the only one serving the whole restaurant. She appears to be American-born like us and despite being busy serving 5 other tables, she made sure to come back and check on us from time to time so she definitely deserves a mention from me. In terms of atmosphere, the restaurant is somewhat dark inside so we chose to sit by the window for some natural lighting. The booth seats (at least the one we were in) have seen better days. The table was quickly wiped down with a damp rag as we sat down, a successful attempt at relocating any food crumbs left behind by the previous customers from table to floor. It wasn't until right before leaving that I saw more of the restaurant. I got up to use the restroom and discovered that the short path to the back felt like an eternity with my shoes squeaking with every step I took on the sticky floor. The restroom was also borderline unkept. After washing my hands, I darted out of there like I do from the public bathrooms back home in NYC. I do sympathize as the girl seems to be the only one working and she can't possibly keep up with it all but I saw that there were other employees on the side as well so I'm not sure if it's truly a staffing issue or just lack of proper management. It's become very apparent to me why most of their orders are delivery or pickup. In conclusion, KoKo is not a bad choice if you're stuck in the plaza and feeling really hungry, but if you have a car and don't mind holding out another 10 minutes, there are probably better options down the road.

The standout for me was the veggie fried rice. It had great flavor, and I'd honestly come back for that alone. The Snake Wrangler drink was also a favorite. The only downside was the hot honey. It was very light on both the wings and the bao bun, so the flavor didn't come through as much as expected. Service was efficient and attentive. It's a nice, quaint spot with a cozy patio and indoor seating. Still a solid happy hour option, and I'd definitely return.

In all seriousness there are much less options than there used to be but they prioritized their drink menu it looks like. We got the Edemame and I thought it came with salt sprinkled on it usually, definitely did not this time. The spicy chicken ramen tasted good but the noodles were soggy. I asked for extra bean sprouts twice and never got them. My brother said the tofu was very slimy and not enjoyable. I asked the waiter if they do anything for birthdays and he said I gotchu covered. After an hour of waiting for whatever it was we left. The place is still very enjoyable to be at but the food just doesn't cut it anymore.
