I am writing this review out of extreme frustration. This is, without a doubt, the worst restaurant I have ever been to in Las Vegas -- no exceptions. From the food to the service, everything was disappointing. Honestly, I don't even think it deserves one star. I have no idea how it has a rating of over four stars. From the moment we walked in and were seated, the server's attitude was already unfriendly. When we pointed out issues with the food, she showed no willingness to resolve them and did not apologize at all. Instead, she simply said that they "cannot control the ingredients." As you can see in the photos, the chashu pork in the ramen was just two pieces of pure fat -- and both bowls we ordered were like this. She insisted that this was normal and said, "We can't control how fatty the pork we receive is." I do not believe this is a responsible attitude for a restaurant. Ingredients are absolutely something a restaurant should manage. If there are quality concerns, the dish should not be served to customers in the first place -- it is not acceptable to shift the responsibility onto the customer. What's even worse, the sliced potatoes were green -- all three dishes. The server actually said, "I've never heard that green potatoes shouldn't be eaten." This is shocking. Green potatoes contain solanine, which can be toxic and cause food poisoning. I believe I have every right to report this to the health department so that you can properly educate yourselves. Is this really how you run a restaurant? Is this how you treat your customers? By the way, the waitress who was clearing the table deliberately pulled the napkin out from under my phone, causing it to fall onto the table. This is the first time I've ever left a negative review on Yelp, but their behavior was truly unacceptable. I hope my review helps anyone who is considering coming here. read more

Handmade fresh okonomiyaki! Fish ramen had great flavor and ocean taste. The fish was a little over cooked and served cold on the side. Small Japanese restaurant with authentic dishes and sushi options. Short staffed on servers led to delays. read more

Wow... what a wild experience! Service is an absolute 10/10. The server was attentive and nice. Since it was absolutely empty, I appreciate the server making an effort to keep the space clean by actively cleaning. THE FOOD... I'm sad to say a strong 0/10. As passionate supporters of Izakaya Go (whose quality has unfortunately gone down this year anyway) this absolutely broke our hearts. We used to go to Izakaya Go atleast once a week but it seems that their whole sisters of spots have gone down down down down down (dooooooown). The ramen- WHY DOES THE BROTH TASTE LIKE A PLASTIC BAG? And the meat was like cured pork but just the fat. Absolutely atrocious broth tho fr, it was like melted plastic with some sort of fake meat juice. Sad to say, the small sip of ramen broth we tried was so bad we had to excuse ourselves out. The salmon - bro look at the picture attached. It's basically gray. We could not even touch it out of fear. Brothless ramen- honestly after a taste of that ramen broth, I could not do it. This was a heartbreaking experience. I hope they can find a way to save themselves because we used to be real supporters and even took hella people to try Izakaya Go. Until then, we're off of them. Sadly!!! Even the water was nasty. read more

I had a rough day and decided to treat myself to a ramen date. I would like to say this place is a gem!!!!! I got the Tonkotsu Miso ramen and it was so good. They were so fast with my order and so polite and kind, and honestly the $$ was very reasonable. I can't wait to go back, that first bite made me never want to have any other ramen again. read more

One of my favorite Ramen places when in Vegas. Simple, quick, delicious and inexpensive.

In all honesty, we didn't know Ramen Show 2 existed on Spring Mountain until the Ramen Show on Rainbow closed down a few years ago. They had mentioned that this location also had handrolls, which was what had initially brought us to the Ramen Show on Rainbow. (I do believe they used to go by another name before - Takopa, and it specialized more in Japanese street eats.) Tucked away in a corner in Chinatown Plaza and hidden behind some stairs, Ramen Show 2 can easily be missed amongst the AYCE restaurants neighboring it. We've been fortunate to never have to wait when we showed up for a bite to eat - even on Christmas night! Despite having ramen in its name, we actually rarely order any ramen when it's the Husband and I dining. Sometimes, the Little Guy will order a bowl of ramen for himself but the rest of us like to enjoy the shared bites. Some of our favorites: * Show Style Spicy Cold Tofu $4.95 - The Husband just loves the leaf mustard, spices, and other toppings on this simple dish. * Tako Wasabi $3.95 * Gyoza $6.95 - The Little Guy loves his gyoza, so that's always a given when we come here. * Grilled Pork Belly $6.95 * Shishito Peppers $4.95 * Grilled Salmon Collar or Belly $6.95 - Very generous. Order some steamed rice to go with it. * Grilled Yellowtail Collar $12.95 * Agadashi Tofu $5.95 * Soft Shell Crab $7.95 - They do a very light batter here and it's just lovely. We often get two. * Handrolls - Ranging from $3.75 to $4.95, we'll often get a few of these - Salmon Skin, Scallop, Ikura, Salmon & Ikura, Spicy Tuna, Salmon, and Soft Shell Crab * Sashimi Bowl $16.95 * Mitarashi Dango $4.95 One of things we really appreciate it that the prices haven't changed a whole lot in the past few years. We noticed most restaurants have increased their prices every year, sometimes even multiple times throughout the year. But Ramen Show 2 has been a steady ride. You can get some great grub without feeling like your broke the bank. There's one large table near the front, counter seating to watch the cooks at work, and a handful of 2 and 4 tops. Service is always efficient and pleasant. Ramen Show 2 will definitely remain in rotation when we're craving handrolls or some quick bites. read more

The ambiance and service was great. Very similar to (I believe) their sister restaurant, Izakaya Go. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing. The curry fries came out fresh, but didn't have much of a curry taste in my opinion. Wish they weren't crinkle cut fries, especially for ~$8. Scallop carpaccio was good for the price but lacked in flavor (~$13). It was the ramen that was the most disappointing. The Show Black (~$16) broth lacked depth and flavor. It felt like they didn't simmer the meat long enough to bring out any rich flavors. Also felt like they may have used jarred minced garlic because the garlic wasn't very strong at all. The noodles almost tasted like Chinese thin egg noodles. Had really high hopes for this place, hope it was just an off day that we came. read more

It has the score it has for good reason. Service was excellent and the noodles were perfect. We also had dumplings which were nothing necessarily special but just right. Very dependable. Ambiance was perfect, it's quiet but music is loud enough to feel good having a conversation. read more

That ramen craving hit and I wanted to try a new place, so I hit the Google and found this place, lots of good reviews on Yelp. We did not make a reservation, although you can online, because it was Monday before 6pm. We parked and walked in and were given a table right away. Shockingly, most of the tables were taken, either early bird dinner eaters like us or really late lunch-ers. The atmosphere in here is great. Very traditional izakaya vibes going on with the wood, the seating and the general décor. It smells nice in here and there isn't too much clutter around. The menu was slightly different than the menu online, which made me a bit worried. My husband doesn't eat pork and I have to ensure we go to ramen places that have non-pork alternatives. Luckily, they do have chicken base, it's just different from the online one. My husbands chicken yuzu ramen was excellent. 5 stars for that one. My tonkotsu miso ramen was...interesting. It wasn't bad per se but there was a weird off taste that I wasn't familiar with, even though this is my fave type of ramen. The broth was eh. The chashu was extremely weird because it tasted like Chinese BBQ char siu. I didn't like the veg or the egg either. We opted for spicy karaage and I also wasn't too impressed with this. I know Japanese isn't a typical "spicy" cuisine, but there are other nice hot sauces that can be used other than the one that this place (and quite a few others) have been using. Great pricing though, so I would come back for a second chance. The chicken ramen is worth coming back in as well. read more

I've been trying to gatekeep this spot. I've been here a half a dozen times. It is one of one a couple of places that I've been to where everything it great or better! The service is flawless!! Ask for Chi! The food is unreal. Best salmon avocado sushi in Vegas!! Order it without fail! The ramen is top notch!! Don't sleep on the fish ramen!!! Grilled octopus....crazy good!!! I'm slowly going through the menu and not ine bad item yet. Add to that the calue in the pricing. Win win. read more

If I were to rate this place on food alone I would only give it 2 stars, but the ambience and the really great server is boosting my rating to a 3. The inside of this place has a great look and feel to it, and we had a great server. So, we thought we were going to be in for a fantastic dining experience. Unfortunately, the food didn't cut it for us. We started with the crispy rice appetizer (3 stars). This was fine. I wouldn't have a problem sharing it if someone wanted to, but it doesn't compare to the crispy rice that we regularly get in San Diego, which is heads and shoulders better. The Tonkatsu Ramens that we had weren't bad per say, but neither of us really enjoyed ours (2 stars). For a Tonkatsu, the broth wasn't very creamy and the flavor profile seemed slightly off. Also, the pork cuts that came in our ramen were pretty much all fat. The noodles didn't really do it for us either. The one part of the ramen that was great was the egg....it was cooked perfectly. I would definitely not order the Tonkatsu ramen there again; was it acceptable to eat: yes. But, is it something I'd enjoy eating again: no. read more

Our experience was absolutely amazing. The service was absolutely wonderful. And our server Destiny was top-notch and we're very grateful that she walked us through the entire experience and made us feel very at home. read more

Plain but filling Ramen had a bit of a bland flavor, which was weird given that it was a curry that was supposed to have a bit of a kick. The rice looked pretty unappetizing with the stick of butter just randomly placed on, but was otherwise pretty standard. If it wasn't for the place being open late, I probably wouldn't have come, and I still would probably go to another place for my ramen cravings in the future. read more

Tried Japanese ramen and ordered a spicy vegan ramen at this small little Ramen store in Las Vegas. There was a full house when we stepped in here for dinner time. The lady at the front was nice and got us seated ASAP. Overall the vibes made me feel like I was in Japan. The portion size though is huge so come hungry! My spicy Vegas ramen had so many ingredients inside that I couldn't believe it fitted in the bowl. I like the soup base itself but overall I didn't finish my bowl just because it was stuffed with a lot of tasty vegetables. For the price and amount, I think this place is a deal! They do sell regular ramen and sashimi too! read more

This gem is located in the Chinatown plaza. We arrived shortly before they reopened for dinner and waited outside. Not long after we arrived, more people showed up, and a line began to form. When they opened, we sat down in the charmingly decorated restaurant. They serve Japanese street food, and the ambiance perfectly matches the theme. The menu features a selection of delicious favorites, and we ordered ramen and yakisoba. I enjoyed watching the chef prepare our meals as he added ingredient after ingredient to each dish. When we tasted the food, it was clear that all the different flavors balanced beautifully. The yakisoba noodles were firm and absolutely delicious. The ramen was also fantastic, but the highlight was definitely the savory broth. In other ramen places, I usually leave some broth untouched, but this was the opposite--I devoured the broth as if I hadn't eaten in days. On top of the delicious food, the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

This is located in the original Vegas Chinatown. We were greeted with welcoming smiles. They ha Sapporo draft beers, so had to have one. We had the Spicy Umami Ramen, Pork Fried Rice, & Tonkotsu Miso Ramen. The fried pork belly in our ramen was so delicious! We just wished there was more meat in our ramen. Other than that, delicious food, great ambiance, and friendly service! The place is on the smaller side, so be prepared if you have a large group. You can also sit at the counter and watch the kitchen. We saw our fried rice being made in front of us. Island reggae music played in the background. Lots of parking. We will definitely be back! read more

The ambiance and decor here reminds me of a Japanese izakaya, and having just visited Japan, it gave us a sense of nostalgia. That being said, we were not very impressed with the food. We ordered the following: Tornado Potato - It was served... lukewarm. If something deep fried could be served at room-temp, then this is it. Also, it was served with two pieces of potato fallen off the skewer, so taking a photoworthy photo was futile (though I still did, see my uploaded photos). Rating: 1.5 out of 5. Curry Fries - This was a HUGE letdown; we expected Japanese curry sauce served with fries, but instead the sauce is 99% kewpie mayo/1% dash of curry powder on top. Rating: 1 out of 5 Veggie Gyoza - Out of all the appetizer we ordered, this was passable. Tasted like standard gyoza and was cooked the way gyoza should be. Rating: 4 out of 5. Vegan Ramen - Husband found it decent. There were a lot of noodles in his bowl that he didn't finish it all. Rating: 4 out of 5. Summer Special Green Ramen - This was refreshing as the noodles and broth were cold, though I do wish the broth had much more flavor. It was bland. They should add more yuzu or lime or something citrusy and it would be much more refreshing. Rating: 4 out of 5. Service was standard and the waitress was fast and nice. Not sure if we would come back here though. read more

We ordered the vegan spicy ramen and the mase soba dry noodles and both were pretty good. The vegan spicy ramen was very flavorful and warming. The dry noodles were great but had a strong taste of nori. We also ordered the tornado potatos and they crispy and very well presented. Service was great and ambiance wasn't all too bad. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to those looking to try ramen. read more

Do not order the ramen here. The broth was unpleasant and smelled strongly off--similar to a bathroom odor. It was so off-putting that I could not finish the dish. This suggests poor cleaning or sanitation of equipment. If a place named Ramen Show cannot get the ramen right, it does not inspire confidence in the rest of the menu. There are many better options nearby anyway. Service was good, but the food was not. read more

They open til like 2am so best place to go after work. I love their small appetizers. Get their shio cabbage, chicken karaage, gyoza and tako yaki. Staff is friendly and nice. Seasonal menu is good too. They have sake like Narutotai. Get the spicy umami ramen spicy level 2 read more

Sure you want ramen but can't really decide on a good spot, so you end up at Ramen Show 2. Aside from ramen, they serve up some pretty decent street foods as well. So grab some takoyaki or okonomiyaki to go along with your ramen. The quality is pretty decent for what it's worth. Nothing nonsensical about this place. Is this the best mindblowing ramen shop ever? Probably not but it does the job! read more

I went here because it was one of the few places that seemed to be open late (10pm ) and was very impressed with this cute lil place. I ordered a glass of plum wine, some squid, and a bowl of ramen. All of which were delicious. The Ikamaru was some of the best squid I've ever had and the portion was massive. My ramen was delicious and enough that I definitely had to take some home. My waitress was also really nice and super attentive. read more

It's ok,not the best in Las Vegas but if you need ramen late at night till 1:30 am, they're open. We had the chicken fried rice, which was surprising the best part of our meal. The touch of curry powder really enhances the fried rice with some spice. The chicken wasn't dry and the fried rice wasn't clumpy. The ramen itself though, was kind of lackluster. Compared to Monta Ramen and Kobo Ramen, the broth isn't really that flavorful or luscious. The Tonkotsu was rich but not salty at all, and the shoyu ramen definitely had a soy sauce flavor, but that's it. The lack of complexity makes it hard for me to recommend coming here any more often than just if no one else is open. read more

The restaurant is cozy. The female servers are friendly. I enjoyed the appetizers. They were delish! We ordered the soft shell crab with ponzu sauce and yaki chashu (pork belly). My ramen was good, and from reviews state that this is the best. Every spot has their own style and flavor. I liked it, but for me I don't think it was the best that I've tried. I liked the thin noodles. It had basic ingredients. The restaurant itself was cozy, but a little stuffy. When you enter, there is a potent odor, probably all the flavors and ingredients making the ramen and small dishes kitchen space that can be view's through the restaurant. There are counter stools to watch them cook inside through a glass. I would come again to try other items on the menu and when I come to Chinatown! read more

Such a hidden gem! Went here my wonderful family with a full table of 9 including 2 kids and a baby with a stroller. It was a kinda late dinner with minimal seatings. All tables were filled and hard to accommodate such a big party. The restaurant is on the smaller side as well. Customer service was top tier, couldn't thank the servers enough for their patience , kindness , and their hospitality. We had an amazing time and the FOOD.. everything we ordered was good! We had a variety of ramen, noodles, tapas dishes, squid, tornado potato, fried rice, etc. Out of everything i had.. the soft shell crab hand roll was what stood out to me the most! It was delicious. Overall a wonderful first time experience. I cannot wait to come back! read more

The tonkatsu soy is standard, though the noodles were a bit too firm for my personal taste. The yuzu chicken is interesting if you want to try something new. The ramen is fair for the price. We had to wait for a while because there were some bigger groups and I think only 1 cook. I wanted to order a couple more dishes and desserts but the waitress handed us the check before I was done eating. I literally had noodles in my mouth LOL I was honestly kind of shocked because she didn't do this to the other parties that were there before us??? I figured they wanted us to leave soon so we paid and left........ read more

Picked up a couple of their tonkotsu shio ramen and an order of the yaki chashu for dinner last night. Only regret is not having checked them out sooner, as everything was excellent! The woman that took my phone order was nice and she wrote down the order perfectly. No green onions in my ramen, crispy onion on the side. Everything was packaged nicely and survived the drive home. The tonkotsu broth was diiiiivine! Has a nice garlicky flavor that doesn't take away/overpower the tonkotsu flavor. Totally unique and ever-so slurpable. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well. We've had the yaki chashu at Izakaya Go (its sister restaurant) and they were just as good as at IG. They were the perfect companion to the ramen. Only bummer is that they're only open for dinner (they open at 5PM). And it's kinda hidden and hard to spot from the parking lot, as it's hidden behind a huge column. They're a few doors west of 888 Korean BBQ. If you like ramen, run to this place and check them out! Parking's not an issue as it's in a huuuge plaza in Chinatown. read more
