After grabbing drinks at Molly Tea, my husband and I ended up stopping by Ramen Tatsu for dinner! It's also conveniently located near China Mama, so the whole area has a great food scene if you're exploring Chinatown! When we first went inside the restaurant, we noticed that there was plenty of open tables and booth seating available. A team member provided us waters and the menu. Ramen Tatsu has a wide range of options on their menus Rice & Bowls: Katsu Curry, Beef Bowl, Fried Rice, Chasiu Bowl Side Dishes: Gyoza, Karaage, Takoyaki and more! Ramen: Spicy Miso, Tonkotsu Shoyu, Shio, Veggie, Chicken Paitan and more! For an appetizer, my husband and I split the Gyoza. It was good. For an entrée, I ended up ordering the beef bulgogi, and it was excellent. The beef was super flavorful, tender, and cooked really well! It was a perfect sweet and savory balance you want from bulgogi! My husband went with one of the ramen bowls, and it looked amazing too! The broth smelled rich and comforting, and from what he said, the flavor definitely delivered! The service was amazing! Everyone was super friendly, attentive, and welcoming! The food also came out pretty quickly too! Ramen Tatsu ended up being a great dinner stop. Delicious food, fantastic service, and an amazing atmosphere. I'd stop by here again for a ramen bowl!
Definitely a hole in the wall ramen spot. Very cozy with a cute Japanese theme. Service is friendly and fast. The curry ramen I ordered seemed a bit on the smaller side and not as thick as I would have anticipated, though it was reasonably priced at only $13! Gyoza was hot and had a nice sear on the bottom.
Great and Authentic Japanese food! And affordable price! Come one come all! It is certainly a local favorite
Smaller restaurant with about 9 tables or so. Service was friendly, and it wasn't busy at all on a Tuesday around lunchtime. The takoyaki had a nice crisp to it; they seem on the smaller side, and there could've been a little more filling. I got the tonkatsu shoyu, and it was okay. The broth was a little bland the first few bites but then got a little too salty. The pork was tender but didn't have a lot of flavor. I added an egg, but it was overcooked, so that was disappointing.
We walked in and waited to be acknowledged. Some lady sitting at a booth ended up grabbing us some menus and telling us to sit down. Ok, odd. We ordered our ramen, Shoyu and a Deluxe. They came out at a decent time given they were a bit busy. What was odd is the same lady, who was eating at that booth, got up and brought our food to us. Yeah how about no to that one. For the Shoyu, $11.99 you get some broth, noodles, green onions, half a hard boiled egg and three pieces of pork. The quality of broth and noodles seemed a bit light for the cost The real concern came to flavor, or really the lack of any. My wife's also lacked flavor and she said mine was bland as well. Very disappointed as we were looking forward to some ramen. This is a one and done for sure.
This is one of my favorite ramen spots in Las Vegas, and firmly ranks among my top five ramen shops in the city. Expect tasty, satisfying ramen that won't break the bank. They serve authentic Japanese ramen and are family-owned and operated by a husband-and-wife team from Japan, with consistently top-notch quality and service. The ramen is also a bit more affordable than most places in the valley, which is a nice bonus. For starters, I tried the Seaweed Soup, which was piping hot and tasty, and the House Salad, with a ginger dressing made in-house that I absolutely loved! I also had the Tonkotsu ramen, while my friend ordered the Spicy Miso, which I also sampled. Both broths were flavorful, and not overly salty, but fair warning: even the medium spice level of the spicy ramen is extremely spicy!! The shop is small and cozy and tends to get busy, with only a few tables and limited parking; it is located within one of the busiest complexes in Chinatown, and arguably in all of Las Vegas, so plan accordingly! That said, it's truly a hidden gem, and well worth the visit.
Stumbled into this place after my original lunch spot was closed. The service was genuinely nice and polite right from the start. I got excited when I saw you could pick your spice level, so I went with jigoku entry and yeah... it delivered! But honestly, I really wanted to like the food more than I did. The broth felt like it was lacking in flavor for me and karaage was also on the bland side... If I had to highlight something it would be the tsukemen, not the best I've ever had but it has stronger flavor compared to the other dishes I tried.
I've been wanting to come here for a few years but every time I decided to go, it was during busy time; which means lack of parking. I finally got to come here on a weekday, right at opening time. It was just me there and I had the best service. I spoke with the server and the cooks. They were really nice and suggested the spicy ramen as their more popular item. Boy were the right! The broth was amazing and the thick noodles hit the spot. I took home the half that I couldn't finish and my daughter said it was the best ramen she's ever had. I'm planning on taking her this weekend so she can experience it fresh and hot in person.
First time here and noticed that the entire staff at least appeared to be Japanese! We figured the food would be authentic and tried the Shio Ramen with medium spice (extra $1.50 for the spice), fried rice, tonkatsu, and takowasa. The flavor profile in everything was amazing! The spicy shio ramen had the comfy-warm-soup-for-the-cold-weather vibes, and I loved how chewy the noodles were. I'm not a huge fan of pork but loved their tonkatsu! It was a good balance of lean but not dry. The dressing to the shredded cabbage was so good; I devoured that real fast. The fried rice was yummy and reminded my friend of the fried rice she had in Japan. The portions were on the smaller side, but the meal was definitely high in quality. The servers were super friendly and checked on us multiple times throughout the night! They were also really nice about letting us switch tables when we wanted to move to the booth. I'd definitely recommend this place.
Having lived in Japan for 12 years and then coming back to the States, that hard craving for authentic Japanese food is real--and honestly, it's wild how difficult it is to find a ramen shop that truly hits the spot. We've tried so many places, and Ramen Tatsu is one of the few that really stands out. Once we found out the owner is Okinawan, we already had high hopes--and wow, they did not disappoint. The ramen is packed with flavor and genuinely takes me right back to our days living in Japan. Every bite feels comforting and familiar. The beef bowl is a huge family favorite, the fried rice is always satisfying, and the takoyaki balls are consistently made to perfection--crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. The only reason I'm giving Ramen Tatsu a 4 instead of a 5 is due to some inconsistency during our last few visits. It felt like there wasn't as much heart put into the food as usual. Our ramen and fried rice came out a bit oilier than normal. I'm not sure if it was a new or different chef, or just someone having an off day (or days), but the consistency hasn't quite been there recently. That being said, we will always stay loyal to this shop. Our family truly enjoys the food, and coming here makes us feel like we're back home in Japan--and that feeling alone means so much to us.
This place is a gem hidden inside a small but busy strip mall. Tiny and very cute and cozy.Prices are very good. They were also very nice and allowed us to sub some of the toppings. Ramen was chewy the way I like it. The broth was flavorful and rich. The egg was perfectly seasoned and jammy. Be warned that "mild" turned out to be still pretty spicy.
Ramen Tatsu Big size bowl of Ramen. Small local business with a great vibe and atmosphere. Tonkatsu Ramen was excellent and a gut puncher with the generous amount of food! Potstickers are a nice compliment to the Ramen and would highly recommend along the Karrage chicken. Add in a variety of items with your Ramen to enhance your bowl. Highly recommend this restaurant
Ramen Tatsu is hidden in an extremely busy plaza, but it had amazing reviews, so we decided to stop in while in the area for a quick date night. The biggest issue of our night was finding a parking space, but we were seated right away when we finally made it in. I don't know if I set the standards for this place too high, but unfortunately, I was not a huge fan. I started off with the Takoyaki appetizer, one of my favorites. They were good, nothing too crazy that you can say about a Takoyaki, unless it's overcooked, old seafood, etc. I opted to try their shoyu ramen, added some corn. My husband tried their Miso ramen, added egg. Typically, I love a shoyu broth for my ramen, but Tatsu's broth did not hit the spot for me. It tasted oily, the pork was seared but didn't really add any depth of flavor to my dish, and the broth just lacked that simmering flavor I expect with a ramen. My husband whose favorite is a miso broth, did enjoy his and he was able to finish his dish without any issues. His miso looked really flavorful, but he said his pork also didn't add a lot of taste to his ramen. The service was quick, and it was good, the location was not busy for it being a weekend. You have to ask for any chili oils, soy sauces, etc. if you wanted those on the side since our tables only had their drinking menus to browse while you waited. The price you pay for the bowl or ramen you receive is not bad, though. Maybe there are different broths I should try, but sadly for me, Ramen Tatsu is nothing I would run back to.

Some of the BEST ramen we've had on our Vegas trip! I still think of the Spicy Miso! We also tried the fried oysters, tako wasa, shrimp Shumai and takoyaki which was all so delicious. I also love how it's such a welcoming and cozy experience. Right when we walked in, everyone was so energetic and fun to talk to especially while we were picking out our items. Will for sure be back for another trip! Highly recommend this little hole in the wall ramen spot. read more

Sorry guys, I'm boring, I had their all time favourite to me. The katsu curry. I keep mentioning the handmade scenes but forget to add a picture of the intricate houses and scenes. I called them to find out what time they close to figure out if I had time after I check into my accommodation or go directly to Ramen Tatsu before. Well no sense in taking chances, I went to eat first. As usual I was more prudent to get the katsu curry first. I forgot to give the before and after picture of the plate/bowl, but you can rest assured short of licking the dish clean it was pretty clean. The wait staff don't even bother bringing me a menu anymore, they pretty much know that I'm gonna order the katsu curry. read more
We were planning to go to Asian BBQ restaurant next door until we passed by this spot and was curious. Inside is a no frills dining room met with a friendly staff. We ordered a tonkatsu ramen and curry katsu rice dish. I didn't really like the ramen but the curry katsu was amazing. Bold and flavorful curry with perfectly fried katsu over fluffy rice. A nice and quick meal. read more

Looking for a ramen spot near downtown and landed on this page. Located in a very busy lot with China Mama, Urban Matcha, and karaoke bars, my only disappointment is always access. Its like a fight for any and every parking spot! Once in, the ambiance is very quiet and relaxed. There isn't a huge music or loudness quality which is nice compared to the other establishments around. The menu is nice and simple. I liked the mix of ramen and non ramen options. We opted for a rice bowl and a ramen. The Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen had a rich broth, but was a bit heavy on the shoyu for my preference. I wish it was more savory and not as light/sweet tasting. The chasui was a 180. This was a salt bomb. The flavor was good, but the salt was overpowering a bit. Even with the amount of rice, it was still a bit much. Ended up mixing in some of the soup and that helped. Overall it was good, but with so many ramen places in Vegas, it may just be a one time and done for now! read more

Got food to go last night and everything was packaged so carefully. All 3 ramens were delicious, and now it's even harder to choose what I want for next time! :P Ordering was easy through toast and I highly recommend this little Hole In the wall family owned establishment! read more
Ramen Tatsu was my absolute favorite ramen place in Vegas. I went to eight or nine different places on a Vegas ramen tour. For me, Ramen Tatsu beat out all the other highly regarded places including Ramen Sora and Monta. Their Tonkotsu broth is rich, umami and basically perfect IMO. I got it in the Spicy level which just adds heat without adding salt or really changing the delicate flavor of the broth which I love and is actually spicy. You can also get the Jigoku Style which amps up the spice considerably but I think that would probably make it too spicy and less enjoyable since the regular spicy level is pretty hot already. The price point is excellent and is a great deal. You can choose thin, thick or extra thick noodles. I opted for thick and they do kaedama or extra noodles for just two bucks! Next time I want to try the extra thick noodles. I also love that it feels like you are transported to Japan when dining here. From the decor to the servers who speak Japanese. No need to fly on a 12 hour flight and cross the international date line when you can just dine here! This will be my go-to spot for ramen from now on when I'm in Vegas! read more
Fast friendly service. Nicely decorated interior with cute little ramen vendor dioramas on the walls. Great ramen with big portions! The Japanese fried chicken was good, too; especially with the spicy sauce served (after requesting a sauce). A small salad was served with it, very tasty. The mango macaroon is exceptional! Very nice visit. Decent prices. read more

Stumbled upon this ramen place when I I was visiting Vegas with my boyfriend. He was in the mood for ramen and for me, I just looked at the menu before going and settled on ordering different appetizers to fill me up. The restaurant is located in a busy plaza so finding parking is difficult. We ended up parking in the plaza next door and walking over. The restaurant was small and had an aged vibe. The servers greeted and sat us down at a table, they were kind and had recommendations for us. My boyfriend ordered the Tonkotsu and added black garlic oil. I ordered edamame, takoyaki, gyoza, and shrimp shumai. The food came out relatively quickly for how busy it was. The servers were kind and stopped by to ask us how we were enjoying the food. My boyfriend and I shared the gyoza's, he had about 6 and I had 1. Safe to say that he thoroughly enjoyed them! The gyoza skin was crispy, and the pork filling was flavorful. The dipping sauce they gave us was really good too! It was a soy sauce, vinegar, chili type of sauce. They were kind and even brought us a second one because we enjoyed it so much. I even used it as a dip for my edamame! The edamame was plain salted edamame served hot, it was firm without feeling to "raw". I prefer having hot edamame vs. cold edamame. The takoyaki balls were my favorite! I rate them a 10/10. I'm always 100% sure that they made them in house. The exterior wasn't too fried or crunchy, it was lightly done with a perfect creamy/ chewy filling. There were a good amount of octopus bits in them. The shrimp suimai were good, but I could tell that they were refrozen and just steamed to order. If I were to come back, I wouldn't get them again. Overall, I'd say that Ramen Tatsu is OKAY, not the best and not the worse. Being from LA, I'd say that the prices are great though! $12 for a bowl of ramen, you wouldn't be able to find these prices in LA! read more
Food was good. It was pretty filling, I couldn't eat all the noodles. Not pictured, takoyaki and edamame, which were both great. The edamame tasted good and although plain, it was good. The takoyaki was well made and was delicious. We were recommended in coming and arrived with family. It was pretty empty when we arrived but it soon filled out once we sat down. Ambiance was nice, the restaurant decor was nice and I felt that the TVs were well put in its angles as both sides of the table, we were all able to view the screen well. Our server was great. She was very nice, always cheery, bubbly, and patient with us. She was also knowledgeable and helped us with our orders. She has a very positive vibe and it helped lighten up our moods. Overall, we had a great experience. My husband and my family enjoyed their meals. Although parking was a bit of a challenge, the food was great. Would love to try different options the next time we come by. read more
Everything here was 5 stars. It has such a warm and homey vibe with no more than 10 tables it feels like a little well hidden ramen secret restaurant. The place was filled with regular guests local to Las Vegas. We had three different Ramen soups each so rich in broth. The gyoza came out really fresh and the tako wasabi was really well paired with any of the beers they serve. The portions were big and filling but we managed to finish them. I thought the staff was really friendly and even though they got really busy while we were there they still made sure we had everything we needed. read more
We stopped by Ramen Tatsu for dinner to celebrate Children's Day since Japanese ramen is my child's favorite food of all time. We ordered the tonkotsu ramen with an added egg and a side of karaage. Everything came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. The chashu was incredibly tender, and the ramen egg was perfect both in flavor and texture... perfectly soft boiled. The karaage was also amazing... juicy, flavorful, lightly crunchy, and very well seasoned. The service was wonderful as well. The sweet and friendly Japanese ladies taking care of us made the experience even better. Their pricing was also very reasonable. Two bowls of ramen plus an appetizer came out to less than $40 before tip, which felt like a great value for the quality and portion sizes. They're located in a busy mall with lots of surrounding businesses, so I can definitely see this place getting packed during peak hours. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Tucked in an unassuming shopping plaza is Ramen Tatsu. Being by Spring Mountain Rd, there are literally hundreds of Asian restaurants, and plenty of ramen. It's easy to get overwhelmed in lost, especially for a visitor like me. Meandering the area, I saw a yellow banner out front announcing "Authentic Japanese Noodles". That's not what drew me in, for countless restaurants claim authenticity without understanding the responsibility the word entails. I can only say there was an inkling and before I knew it, my steering wheel sharply rolled into the plaza practically on its own accord. The interior was dark and cozy, the chilled air a welcoming relief from the 105F out today. Ohtani at the plate on the corner tv. A line of miniature structures in a lit display on the main wall. I didn't examine them closely but they were like a Japanese version of the miniature village you'd see around Christmas. A couple of customers already slurping away at their bowls. I opted for the classic tonkotsu, no added spiciness so that I can judge the broth without distraction. The white, creamy, Fukuoka style broth is notoriously difficult to make and so a large majority of restaurants don't do it - yes, even ramen specialty shops. Extracting the flavors and richness is more than boiling a bunch of bones and calling it a day. I didn't ask the kitchen on their exact technique but from my limited knowledge, in a nutshell, as bones boil for a long time, the collagen and fat breakdown and emulsify into the water. It's beyond just throwing ingredients into a stockpot but this isn't a cookbook, I'm just a novice, and chances are you're looking to simply decide is this place good or nah so basically, if the broth is milky white, there's a decent chance it's going to be good. Milky white it was, accompanied by delightfully chewy, perfectly cooked thin strands of noodles. Topped simply with woodear mushrooms, scallions and chashu. Like implied above, you don't need to cover something that's already good with too much other stuff. The broth was lovely and satisfying. Rich without being cloying. I haven't had comparable broth like this in the States since Ippudo in NYC. Needless to say, I left an empty bowl. --- Note: Resist the urge to ask to substitute the thin, straight noodles for the more familiar thick, wavy kind if you'd like it proper Fukuoka authentic. Thick and wavy are for light broths like shoyu where the waves help pick up more broth. Tonkotsu doesn't require that as it holds up on its own perfectly. read more
We had lunch at Ramen Tatsu with a family member who lives here as we were in the area. ATMOSPHERE: Located in a strip mall. Inside is very homely with a few tables and booths. PARKING: Plenty of free parking. MENU: Ramen in 9 broths, rice dishes, Japanese style apps. Beer, wine & sake. FOOD: Gyoza (6 pcs) I didn't care for the filling as it had an unusual taste that even the dipping sauce couldn't remedy. Skins could've been seared more as well. Pass. Fried Rice Wow, this was really good! It looked and tasted like jasmine rice as it wasn't super starchy. The dark hue gave way to a bold, savory flavor that coated every grain, with bits of pork & egg mixed in. Highly recommended. Shoyu Ramen I had high hopes for this but the broth was so bland and lifeless. Their thick noodles are pretty thin and not eggy in flavor which is what I prefer. Half of a seasoned egg was textbook gooey but was served chilled. Chashu slices were thin and mainly fat. Pass. Tsukemen The spouse didn't read the description well and ended up ordering the tonkotsu instead as he hates fish/bonito flavor. I had a few bites and thought it was okay. The broth was a little fishy but super oily as I guess that's how tsukemen bowls are. I'm not a dipping noodle fan so my expertise on it is nil. SERVICE: Everyone was sweet, friendly and very welcoming. OVERALL: Killer fried rice and friendly service. read more

On a weekend lunchtime, this place was not very packed. We were quickly seated, and the server was very friendly. They have some cute lego sets that are Japanese themed...pretty cute to look at! Parking is relatively easy, but the plaza can get pretty busy at times! Key Points: PRICE IS FANTASTIC!!!!! SPICY COSTS EXTRA!!!!! NO EGGS INCLUDED IN PRICE!!!! Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen- Medium spicy ($11.99 + $1.5), 7/10 - Spicy is extra $1.50!!! Didn't see that when reading the menu, it was kinda hard to understand. Spicy is not worth paying extra, although it is pretty spicy - Flavor is solid! Creamy, rich broth, although don't expect the best ramen of your life. - Portion size is decent, will get you full, but it wasn't enough for me to take leftovers home - Ramen tasted better when I remembered that it costed $11.99, which I haven't seen for a ramen bowl in like 10+ years Miso Ramen ($12.99), 6.5/10 - Chashu is delicious, soft/tender! They only give you 2 pieces, which is a slight bummer - Toppings are only Beansprouts + corn, which is kinda interesting, but good nonetheless - The miso flavor was not particularly noticeable, and I think overall I enjoyed the Shoyu ramen more read more
An amazing ramen spot that stands out in the growing sea of ramen spots in Vegas. Firstly the menu is small in a good way, with little appetizers like the dumplings which were great, and a focused main for ramen. I enjoy that the spicy sauce was on the side, instead of mixed into the bowl, because that spice level is not joking, especially that level 3 so add as much as you want but be careful! We got the highest level 3 to try it out and I was crying by the end of the bowl! I do recommend it though just to get the sense of it and I appreciate that even at its spiciest, the miso broth flavors were still very strong. Service is also to be commended because we went on Wednesday night and the dining floor was mildly steady but there was just one server working and she absolutely killed it with everything very timely and every table was taken care of well. It's a small place, a chill and casual ramen spot great for any size party, and overall, the dining experience is worth returning to again and again. read more
Wanted to try out another ramen place and came across Ramen Tatsu! The restaurant itself is located in a slightly more run-down square, but there's plenty of parking. We came around 12 pm on a Sunday and were seated almost immediately since the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived. Atmosphere inside is calm and quiet, service was very quick and our server was attentive (maybe a little too attentive since she came by so often haha, but sweet and friendly nevertheless). Miso Ramen (7.5/10, $12.99) - Broth was decent and the chashu was soft and tender. Corn, green onions, bean sprouts came as included toppings, although you can add others (e.g. egg) for additional cost. - Portion size is slightly on the smaller side, but still enough to fill you up Overall would be open to coming back to try other items on the menu. The price of the ramen here is hard to beat! read more
I've been here a couple of times in the past and decided to come by for lunch since I was in the area. This is one of the best ramen places I've been to. The place is small, a good amount of people were here for lunch, and I observed a couple of regulars. I decided to try to the Tonkotsu. The broth was perfectly creamy, not too overpowering and salty, but just right. The broth also had a toasty flavor to it with the sesame seeds. I'm not sure what type of sesame seeds they use or if they toasted the sesame seeds, but it was a nice addition to the broth. I enjoyed the pork chaschu, thin noodles, green onions, and mushrooms it came with. The chaschu was sliced not too thin and tender, but I think the pork could have been a little bit more tender. Monta's chaschu is my fave because it is so buttery and super tender. The chaschu here is still very good. Overall, this place is wonderful for ramen, and I would love to come back to try something else. read more

I've been coming here for around 5-6 years now! It's a good classic spot and you can't beat the prices! Michelle was our server and she was so so sweet and helpful! Always super clean in there! Food was great as usual! I always get the tonkatsu shoyu with black garlic oil and thin noodles! read more

Ask the Community - Ramen Tatsu
Do you have Hiyashi chyuka?
Yes, but only in the summer season. Usually from late May or early June until about early October. They have several different sauces, shoyu, yuzu, and sesame, and a spicy variant of each.
Do you take reservations or how to get on a waitlist?
They are taking reservations more than 5people
Which casino are you closer too? Are you close to Las Vegas strip?
We’re about 3 miles west of the strip near Spring Mountain and Jones Blvd. I guess the closest Casino would be Mirage, Palazzo, Wynn and also Fashion Show Mall since they’re all located on Spring Mountain/Las Vegas Blvd intersection
I tried to order takeout, is your number disconnected? It rings and then says this number is disconnected
Our phone works. We have been getting calls today. The number is 702-629-7777
Hi. Is the curry made using any beef or beef broth?
Yes we do cook with beef. The broth is predominantly chicken, but it does include beef as well.
Do they have a spicy tonkatsu offering?
You can make any ramen spicy(additional charge), they also have chili oil available with the table condiments.
Do Tatsu have vegan options?
Tatsu has some vegan options, such as a Veggie Ramen broth that is vegan.
Is there a vegetarian option? I saw that there's a "veggie" choice on the menu but a finger is covering the description. I mean strictly vegetarian - dairy is OK but no fish, chicken, pork, or beef broth/ingredients in the ramen. Thanks!
Hello. I’m sorry for the late response. We do have veggie ramen available.
Do they use msg in their ramen?
We do put msg in our ramen, but you can ask for no msg... miso, spicy miso, and curry already have msg in them.
