Cool interior with Japan related neon signs (I.e. Family Mart, Running Man). Very friendly waitress explained the menu and made some solid suggestions. I had the Ultimate ramen. The pork soup base was tasty. I found the char sui to be very tender. Noodles were soft but not overly so.

Was hungry in Vegas and didn't want Strip food. And Ramen Aku hit the spot! Korean fried chicken was boneless! Very yummy. Interesting it had potatoes mixed into it. Loved my miso ramen. I tend to like a lighter broth so this was great. Loved the pork and egg. More than enough for me. About a 10 min Uber from the Strip! Service was great!

Jazz was our server for our group of 6 and she was fantastic! Very attentive, helpful, and so friendly. We love her! :) There's plenty of free parking outside and the interior is clean. We love the decor theme and the story behind it. Moderate noise inside but you can still talk comfortably. The food was great but we do have some feedback. Alcohol prices were very fair and we appreciated that the glasses were chilled and pours were generous. Our group ordered takoyaki, fried gyoza, and several bowls of ramen. We all thought the ramen was about an 8/10 and flavors were good. The toppings are great (ramen egg was cooked perfectly and chashu was thick). We just wished the broth was much hotter in temperature. Overall we all enjoyed our lunch and would absolutely come again!

When you walk in you see a sign to wait to be seated. A lady told us she would be right with us and proceeded to talk to almost every table before coming over to seat us. The service did pick up once we were seated and I will say food comes out fast. The ambiance is fairly laid back, not very loud, considering its near UNLV. Not too bad. Now the food is where it started to fall a bit too quickly, or maybe we started to good with the chicken. The soy garlic chicken hit the table first and this was a bite of heaven. Super tender and amazing flavor. Great chicken to breading ratio and I loved the mixed of garlic chips. It also has potatoes to cover up the small amount of chicken on the plate though-sneaky. The Black Garlic Ramen: the broth is suppose to shine- and this truly truly tasted like water...with black specks of nothing- not even a pepper taste. The pork chashu...was flavorless- we took it out to try on its own and it was plain- put it back together and it was not it. It was also fairly tough for chashu. The noodles were also super super soft. Tiger Roll- the roll has shrimp tempura, avocado, and spicy tuna. The spicy tuna was just off tasting unfortunately. Overall I unfortunately don't see ourselves coming back unless changes are made. The Ramen and sushi which was primarily why we came were a huge miss. The chicken was a nice surprise, and it was the only saving gracep

Service was great and food came fast! The ramen was perfectly spiced but the pork could have been more flavored

Solid choice for food, the environment is super clean with fun decorations. Super bright environment. They only have ramen after 9pm. The broth was delicious, a lot of great flavors. The chicken was juicy, easy to eat and of course, crunchy. Needed food after arriving at the airport, not in the best area of town, but driving is fine. At night, it is slightly slow, but hostess was helpful and friendly. Tonkatsu ramen ($15) and black garlic ramen ($16). Added some spice, not spicy at all, very settled flavors. Noodles were chewy in a good way which I prefer. Definitely come check it out for your ramen cravings.

tldr: more like a 3.5, pretty standard, nothing stands out too much on the menu. order a ramen dish. ask to spin the wheel after writing a google review before paying. the fried rice were super bland, no vegetables at all. definitely order a ramen here the meat in my tonkatsu ramen was room temperature but once i had some soup it was better. the broth was very good though and i drank most of it. my party of 4 came at 6pm on a saturday and it was pretty empty. they have a spinner if you leave a google review that you should ask for before the bill comes because you could win 10% off receipt, we didn't know that, so we already paid. however, we still left a review and they gave us mochi ice cream, 2 per order and 2 orders bc we wrote two reviews.

Had some Bulgogi and ramen and beer!

Food was phenomenal, our server Garret was super attentive. He always checks if we needed anything, and explained the menu really well! Location is super nice and cozy feels like I'm in Japan!

The ambiance is gorgeous, the seating is awesome and comfortable, the staff is super sweet and helpful and the food takes an appropriate amount of time to be made. Overall though the food wasn't anything to write home about, worth trying once for the atmosphere. Great spot if you care more about getting a bit buzzed. Also disappointing that none of the menu items tell you what they are composed of so you have to ask.

We had a great experience at Ramen Sora!…read more I'd encourage everyone to take a quick uber (15min) from the strip to Ramen Sora if you want an authentic ramen meal! There are options to add so many different items to your bowl and there are multiple different broths. Our service was great and the restaurant is clean! Definitely a meal to check out!!

We came to Ramen Sora based on a Yelp Elite recommendation, and when you first pull up, it…read moredefinitely gives you that little hole-in-the-wall vibe. But honestly, sometimes that makes you think, "Okay... if it looks like this, the food MUST be bomb." And thankfully, it was! When we first walked in, we checked ourselves in through the Yelp waitlist, but nobody greeted us or explained what to do. As first-timers, that was a little off-putting because we weren't even sure if we had checked in correctly. Eventually we were seated, though, and once someone attended to us, everything moved pretty quickly. We ordered the spicy umami ramen, garlic edamame, and nigori sake. For our son, we ordered the veggie ramen but asked if they could make it super simple with just the noodles, broth, and corn because he is VERY picky. They were totally accommodating, which we really appreciated. Now THE RAMEN. My first bite was honestly like, "Okay, this isn't bad." But then I kept eating it...and the flavor just kept opening up. Then we took a sip of the nigori sake, went back to the ramen, and OMG. It completely changed the experience. The spice was SO GOOD. It's the kind that catches you in the back of your throat before it even hits your tongue. It might have you coughing for a second, but somehow you're coughing while immediately going back in for another bite because YOU CAN'T STOP EATING IT. The flavor just builds and builds. So good! And the biggest win? OUR SON ATE HIS RAMEN. He actually really enjoyed it, which is huge for us because now ramen officially goes on the list of foods we can all go out and eat as a family! As far as atmosphere, this isn't really a fancy date-night spot. It's more of a casual ramen joint where I'd come with family, friends, or coworkers when I just want some really good food. The only thing keeping this from five stars for me was the service experience. Not being greeted or told how the waitlist worked was confusing as a first-time customer, and there wasn't much checking back once we had our food. If that doesn't matter to you, then honestly, you're good to go because THE FOOD DELIVERS. Overall, four stars and definitely recommended. Come for the ramen, don't expect a whole meet-and-greet situation , and prepare yourself for that spicy umami because it was BOMB.

This is something that I don't like with most places near Chinatown. You should think about having an online check-in system so people can wait in their cars instead of standing to wait. The parking situation also is atrocious! The food on the other hand was really good. I ordered Gyoza and chicken ramen. The broth was tasty and noodles were delicious. They could be more generous with the portion of protein. Overall a decent experience.

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Cool ramen spot to check out and located next to Durango Station. Food and vibes were great! Lots of parking and eateries in this shopping center. We missed happy hour by one hour. Ordered the Hakata Tonkatsu DX, Chicken Paitan DX, and Chicken Karaage. I originally ordered the Hakata Tonkatsu without the DX but they made it as a DX and brought it to me and asked me if I wanted it and would still only charge me for original one I ordered. This was very nice of them. You can choose your spiciness, but my party agreed that they are conservative with the spice. I ordered mines mild but didn't taste any spice at all (I don't like spicy.) The Chicken Paitan is limited daily and by the time we got there for dinner they only had 2 left, so we claimed one. All in all, I enjoyed my experience here. Their ramen taste like typical ramen, nothing too special. I would come back here for their happy hour (2-5 pm daily) to try other things!

I hadn't had Ramen in quite a long time so I was very excited to check out Marifuku ramen and it…read moredid not disappoint. They have tons of seating! Great, if you're dining by yourself at one of the bar seating or if you're with a group of friends, they have tables in the back and then I believe they also have outdoor seating from what it looked like. (I was there at night.) I am so grateful for our server. He really was a trooper, we were trying to figure out some of my allergies, and he really went above and beyond to doublecheck things. I got an iced Matcha, and my friend got a non-alcoholic Sapporo. And we both enjoyed our beverages. Prices were pretty reasonable and they do have happy hour and deals throughout the week. For a starter, we ordered the Marufuku bites: Pirikara Chicken. It was the perfect level of spice. The ratio of bun to vegetable to sauce, was really great and we quite enjoyed it. It was a perfect little starter snack while we were waiting for our food. I ordered the Chicken Paitan with spinach noodles and my friend ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu DX ramen. There was a mixup with my noodles and they quickly remade my Ramen with the correct noodles and I really appreciated how swift they were able to do that. From the outside, the bowl looks like it isn't holding that much when in reality when you start eating, you realize that there is a lot in there! My only complaint is that I wish there would've been more chicken. The egg was fantastic and I absolutely loved the spinach noodles. They gave a really good amount of noodles! The broth was fantastic! It was the perfect comfort food. We sat there in complete silence as we happily ate our food. I finished the bowl clean! Overall, it was really great experience and I'm excited to go there again in the future. Especially more in the winter! Sometimes parking can be a little difficult because it does get really packed in that area, so just keep that in mind, especially on weekends at night, you might need to park farther down closer to mothership.

I feel bad for this, but I didn't enjoy the ramen. Back in 2021 - 2022, I would come here often and I remember it being so much better. I got the DIY tonkontsu ramen with extra chashu, bamboo shoots, and black garlic oil. The chashu tasted very plain and had a weird taste like reheated meat??? The broth also fell short on flavor, I think I tasted more of my vegetables being cooked in the broth than the broth itself. Like it wasn't bad, but I also wouldn't necessarily choose to come back for this meal either. I orginally was planning to live this out, but then my friend mentioned it: There was another server working the floor with Tristan, might've been a manager. He wasn't necessarily the friendliest and was really passive agressive. I was talking to my friend and I was telling her I didn't really like my food and that the other place was a lot better; I wasn't whispering, but I also wasn't yelling either. Anyways, the manager/server must've overheard because he checked in on us and was like "Is ramen okay?" and we said the usual, everything is fine, and he said okay good; and then under his breath muttered something like "Yeah, we have the best ramen in town." Also at some point he was yelling on the phone about someone owing him money. I'm not necessarily bothered; but yeah it was strange. Overall, it generally wasn't a bad experience; it was just okay. I wouldn't choose to eat here again.
