My favorite ramen spot, prices are affordable, inside is very aesthetic and cozy, the ramen is always delicious, the service is always quick and friendly, it's more of an intimate setting inside not a large restaurant but very much deserving of this 5 star review! read more

Decent good bowl of ramen. Wish the egg would have a soft yolk interior and warm instead of cold in a warm broth. Clearly par prepped. Ramen was not too salty which I liked. Broth for garlic was better than the chicken as the broth garlicky. Not exactly on par with infamous Ramen Nagi. But good nonetheless. read more

Hey Yelpers! Came in here on a late Sunday night with some family and friends. This place is small and funky but cool. The food was very good. The wife and I tried the tonkatsu ramen, edamame, and karaage chicken. All were super fresh and tasted great. I ordered a side of the chashu pork with the ramen and it tasted great on its own. As for the service, it was a little busy but the food came out pretty fast. The server must have also been the manager because she was running food, taking orders, and telling the cook and kitchen assistant what she needed done. We all liked this spot and would for sure come back. I recommend you do, as well. Enjoy!!! read more

Hello Yelp friends!! This is a cute little place perfect for a late night foodie run. I went with a group of 8. There are only a few tables and they were able to push some together. The later it got the busier it seemed to get. We got there at a good time. It was after 10 pm. We were craving Ramen and they have a selection of broth, toppings, and sides. Dessert ice creams and drinks. Everything was delish! Our server was so cute! She was running and she is good at her job. I don't usually finish mine but I really liked mine. I finished it all. lol The parking lot is huge and there is a small parking garage. So parking is easy. It is located in a complex that has other businesses up and downstairs, to check out. I recommend. Check it out. read more

It was our first time here and we absolutely love it. Seiko was awesome, also the other waitress, unfortunately we didn't get her name. The ramen was really good. The char su pork they used was very good. The tonkatsu broth was perfect. Takoyaki and okonomiyaki were amazing, but the best part was the Addicting cucumber was the bomb! I call it Crack cucumber. It was the best. Come check them out. 5 STARS. read more

Neko Ramen - First time here - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This place is a really cute and small. I ordered the hangover bowl ($11.95) with miso broth and added garlic chips (+$1). I also ordered the small size ($4 each) Unagi Don and Chashu Don. First, I wanna say that you definitely get the best bang for your buck here. It's affordable and the food is delicious. If you have small kids, the small size rice bowls are the way to go! The ramen bowl itself was good. I really like their broth. My only mistake was that I didn't get it spicy. I think I needed that extra dimension of flavor to my ramen. The unagi Don was ok and the chashu Don was yummy. However, I just felt like it was really greasy. When I scooped it out and transferred it to a to-go container there so much liquid just sitting at the bottom. My plan is to just mix it with more rice to soak up that excess grease and have my tums ready. Lol. Anyway, I really like this place. I'm definitely coming back for their delicious food and affordable food! Also, the older lady waitress was really nice to my kids. She game them origami ninja stars that my kids were excited about and also gave us an origami crane. The service was really nice! read more

This restaurant is located in China Town in a strip mall. There is parking but seemed to be limited. We came on a Friday night at 7pm and were seated right away. It took a minute to be served but the servers seemed to be busy. We ordered the ramen and some sushi items. The food came sporadically and took awhile to arrive. For the price, it was a good value but not sure if it's worth a return visit read more

Neko Ramen - Baked scallops - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Neko Ramen is an absolute gem within the Las Vegas ramen scene. As you walk in, the interior is extremely reminiscent to the night markets and street food vendors you'd see in Japan. The staff there are extremely hospitable and are always a delight to see. I want to give a special shoutout to Lee and Seiko, as they have always made my visits there so special! They are amazing so just know you are in good hands at this business! I won't lie, I have come to this business sooo many times! All the food there never strays away from great quality at a great price. I have taken my family, friends, and coworkers here to show them how great Neko Ramen is. [The pics below is from my first visit] I ordered the Spicy Garlic Edamame, which had a zing to it, it was great. The Addicting Cucumber is my absolute favorite. It is just so refreshing and had a rich spice to it. All of their Ramen is absolutely top-notch. The favorites being the Neko Signature Ramen and the Umami Black Garlic Ramen. Highly recommend their tonkotsu base as well. However, I create my own Ramen, and make it EXTREMELY spicy (again, shoutout to Lee for letting me make it as spicy as I can) Please give this place a visit, it is so worth it. It is always a good time at Neko Ramen, and you have it to see it for yourself :) read more

Great late night option! What better way to end a date night with some warm filling ramen! As other reviews the place is small and cozy but cute aesthetics. There aren't too many tables as it's set up like those ramen shops in japan. Hurry up and eat & go! Just how I like it lol. So I suspect the turn around is quick? Even at 11pm we did have to wait about 10-15 mins, we were directed to sign in but because we didn't wait inside nobody really checked the list or looked for us. So my husband did have to go and check in again then we were seated. We ordered takoyaki to start which came out surprisingly fast. It was still pretty hot and gooey inside. My husband said it was one of the better ones we've had so far, light crisp exterior with a gooey center. Perfect flavor for what you'd expect. I do like that the serving size is small because the ramen is super filling. We ordered the neko signature with shoyu and spicy neko with tonkotsu. Both broths had great flavor. Perfect balance of salty and umami. I think I actually prefer the tonkotsu without the spice though. After mixing the spice in, it overpowered the broth flavor. Maybe ask for it on the side so you can adjust to your liking. As is, it wasn't too spicy, but it did drown out the salty tonkotsu. The broth itself was very milky but not over creamy and still clean tasting. Noodle texture was perfect. Great chew, good portion size. Chashu was nice and tender, meaty slices. Marinated egg was perfect. The shoyu broth was just the right amount of shoyu. I've had some shoyu broth that was too heavy and overpowering but this was just right. Light but flavorful. Overall these were two really good, standard bowls of how I expect ramen to taste. Love that they're open late. I think parking gets a little tricky during a busy day though. We'd come back if we were in the area. read more

Considering this is the sister company to sushi Neko, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the ramen I dined here. The interior theme is cute and reminiscent of a Japanese combini and the service was attentive. The tonkotsu broth I ordered had an amazing depth to it and was quite rich. The noodles were also the skinny egg noodles which I prefer for ramen and were cooked perfectly. read more

Really great ramen place tucked away in the corner of a shopping center next to their AYCE sushi brethren. The ramen was really great, soup base wasn't too salty and ramen cooked just right. The amount you get for the price is pretty unbeatable especially when compared to the ever more expensive pho places in the area. The okonomiyaki was a bit disappointing: too much cake mix and not enough cabbage but it was not terrible. The chicken karagge was probably the only disappointment since it was overly fried and the chicken too dry so I don't recommend it. Service is excellent and fast, will definitely come back later. read more

Neko Ramen has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Las Vegas. The moment you walk in, the design and atmosphere transport you straight to Japan -- warm lighting, wooden details, and a calm, inviting energy that makes it feel authentic and cozy. I ordered the Ramen Classic with miso broth, along with a mango cream soda and a melon cream soda. Everything was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and each bite felt balanced and comforting. Both sodas were sweet, nostalgic, and a perfect match for the meal. The host was attentive and friendly, making sure we were seated right away and checked on us throughout the meal. The food came out quickly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. It is clear that every detail here -- from the flavors to the design -- is made with care. I've already been thinking about what to try next time. If you love ramen or are looking for a cozy and beautifully designed spot to eat in Las Vegas, Neko Ramen is a must visit. read more

We stopped by NEKO Ramen on a Monday right when they opened, and we were the only ones there. Service was definitely 5/5--super attentive (maybe too attentive?). It felt a little awkward being watched the entire time we ate. The restaurant itself is cozy, cute aesthetics, and a pleasant atmosphere. As for the food, we ordered a bowl of ramen, a chashu bowl, a gyudon, and a beef yubu. Unfortunately, the food was just okay--3/5. Not bad, but nothing standout either. If you're looking for a place to eat while waiting for NEKO Sushi, this might be a decent option. But on its own, it's not quite a must-visit. read more

We were very impressed at this little place inside a large mini mall full of food. The three of us each ordered a different ramen dish: Eki, Neko Signature and Umami Black Garlic. We all ordered the tonkatsu broth. All three ramens were served hot and delicious, each with their own flavor profile. Very friendly service with a smile. They even made us a nice origami peacock at the end of our meal. Sodas are served in cans, and they have a large variety of other drinks from which to choose. There's about three or four booths and maybe four or five tables and a couple bar seating areas, not very big but very well decorated and fun to look at all of the things they've done. Reasonably priced, especially for what you get. Frozen fruit pops available for dessert. We look forward to our return visit! read more

I was looking for a new spot to try some Ramen with a fun ambiance and came across this restaurant. Our waiter was very nice and helped us with our menu and brought our selections pretty quickly. I went with trying their signature bowl with a pork/chicken broth. Flavors and presentation where delicious and nice. I also tried their Spicy Edamame and I was delighted to know they toss the edamame in their sauce and not just a dry seasoning. We also tried their Gyu Don bowl, the meat used is more of a thicker cut of beef and not a thin slice rib eye, however the flavor was good. The interior design is fun and cool, great place to eat and hangout with friends/family. It's located at a shopping center that has other places to check out after eating to do some fun shopping. The parking is also plentiful. read more

I went here on Monday around 1030pm. Because it was late night, there weren't many people there. I had neko signature ramen with tonkotsu broth. It actually exceeded my expectations. It was really creamy pork broth, and I loved it. The seasoning was perfect as well. I usually find ramen too salty at other places, but here it was perfect. Noodle texture was okay, and the portion was enough for one person. I loved their prices. Their ambiance was really cute and clean. The server was very friendly as well. I would definitely try other items next time! read more

This place has both quality AND bang-for-your-buck!! The prices are cheaper than so many other shops in the area, but the food is also really delicious with HUGE portions for the price. It's unbelievable how much food you are served for the price! I was in Vegas for 3 nights and I visited this shop twice LMAO! I tried a lot of food, so bear with me: *Neko Signature Ramen ($12) - This was impressive. For $12, you can't ask for more!! Portions, quality, taste - all 5-stars! The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful; I would say that it has a kind of pure and unadulterated taste, which some people prefer! I would recommend pairing it with black garlic oil ($0.95 extra) and maybe even garlic chips ($0.95 extra) too because I prefer a bit more depth and complexity in flavor for my broth. The garlic elements would add that layer of complexity to the broth, and make it even more enjoyable (but that's just my personal preference). The broth is very smooth and flavorful nonetheless though! The naruto in the ramen was firm and thick with good mouthfeel. The boiled egg was perfectly cooked with the yolk still a little undercooked, as it should be. The chashu was good too with soft tender meat and well-rendered fat. I have no complaints about the noodles. They're the slightly thicker kind of noodles with a little bounce to them when you chew! This place does NOT skimp on anything! Tons of toppings, noodles, and broth. The portions are extremely generous for the price! *Takoyaki ($4 for 3 pieces) - The takoyaki was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Freshly and perfectly cooked! This wasn't super cheap, but it's also not expensive at all. *Unagi Donburi (Small $4) - This was unbelievable. How was it only $4?! The portion was large, but the quality was also top-notch. The broiled eel was perfect too. Covered in a sweet soy sauce-based sauce, topped with sesame seeds, scallions, and otsukemono (Japanese pickles). The "small" bowl is pretty big; served in a bowl of maybe 6 inches in diameter. I recommend ordering the small, and if you can eat more, order a different type of small donburi to try. It's $4 for a small and $7 for a large, so I would just spend $8 and order two types of the smaller portions to try! *Gyu Donburi (Small $4) - This was PHENOMENAL! I seriously cannot believe I ate all this food for only $4. Again, giant portions! It was a rice bowl topped with deliciously seasoned and sauteed beef, caramelized onions, scallions, beni-shouga (Japanese pickled ginger), and an egg. It's no wonder it's listed as a "must try" item on the menu! SO yummy! I went back a day later to have this dish again LOL *Beef Yubu and Unagi Yubu ($2.50 each - Apparently, Yubu is a Korean dish. It's a twist on the Japanese Inari Sushi, which is made with fried tofu, but with some type of a protein sitting on top of it). This was also well-priced and tasty, but I probably would rather spend an extra $1.50 to get a donburi instead. Although, if you're in the mood for a little snack and not a meal, this is perfect! I tried both the eel and the beef, and they were both delish! My waiter, Lee, was amazing too! Attentive, thoughtful, on-point with his recommendations, and overall great service! This is a must-visit location if you're in the area and want some cheap eats! Even the biggest eaters can get an enormous meal with multiple dishes for under 20 bucks here!! read more

Neko Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Very cute and cozy ramen restaurant tucked away in a busy Chinatown plaza. We came on a Tuesday at 6pm and were seated immediately. Service was respectful and attentive. Service really makes an impact when they notice the small things about customers and says so much about the quality of the restaurant and how it is run. One of the workers noticed I was holding my large puffer in my lap and pulled up a stool for me to place it on. A very small but meaningful gesture. We ordered a takoyaki and three different types of ramen. At prices like these, I was surprised with the portion sizes. I had the Neko signature with the shoyu broth. The richness of the broth and chewiness of the noodles paired so well together in every bite. Broth was a little salty but still worked out nicely. Come check this place out! I don't think you'll find anything like this in Vegas. read more

The first time I went to neko Ramen, it was a bit anti climactic. Not bad, just not memorable. The owner reached out and let me know they had done work to improve their broths and chasu and for me to check it out again. I finally made it over and ordered the neko supremo, and they even accommodated me by mixing the tonkotsu and shoyu broth. Boyfriend got the neko tempura ramen,playboy roll, and garlic edemame. Also got several pieces of nigiri, a milk tea, and an unagi bowl to go. I was so happy that they really did improve on their broth. It had so much more complexity. The pork chasu was a perfect mix of a thick substantial cut, with the melty swirly fatty pieces I also enjoy. It also had a good char. The ground meat also really helped make this a hearty filling soup. Their egg game is still on point as well. I asked they omit the butter as it's already plenty rich for me. The shoyu base of the tempura soup was lighter and less umami than I'm used to with shoyu bases personally, but not bad still. It comes with a large portion of tempura. My boyfriend liked it and also enjoyed his garlic edemame as well. Playboy roll he liked more than me. The nigiri was fresh and had a good rice to fish ratio. Even uni was solid. Ikura was good, but I like my salmon eggs more seasoned. Milk tea was from a can, so I worried it would be gross, but it was really good! Not too sweet at all. My mom also reported back that she enjoyed her unagi bowl we took home to her, which is good to know as she's pretty picky. I'm glad I came back to try this place out again as it was a totally different experience. They also have very competitive prices, and it's nice you can get sushi and ramen in the same spot. Also, shout out to our waitress who was very attentive and sweet. read more

I came here with my family for dinner. This particular plaza is full of great places to eat. Neko Ramen was delicious! The addictive cucumbers lived up to its name. We ordered more!!! The servers really wanted to have a positive experience and made sure we were seated right away (and comfortably). It's a small Ramen shop, but that made the atmosphere more intimate and lovely. I would like to think I am a pretty good judge of Ramen, and this place is rated high on my list. Enjoy. read more

Sunday night no wait. Cucumbers are truly addicting and I had to order a second one. I would have bought some of the sauce to go but I don't think I could bring it on the plane. I was putting the extra garlic sauce in my ramen! We both got thick noodles. And enjoyed them. Just ordered too much and got full. Don't order the extra noodles until you need it. Would order everything except the sh&$. Just wasn't our thing. Service was fast and friendly. Great prices. Didn't drive but the parking infront was full.

Neko Ramen was super solid food. The place is small about maybe 12 tables, and it is a little bit shadowed by the AYCE place next door. Our waitress was super nice and gave us some recommendations. They have a lot of interesting combos like birria Ramin, which we make at home a lot. I got the crazy cucumbers, which were crispy and loaded with flavor but not spicy. I also got two orders of the sashimi style tuna because the other tuna has seaseme seeds crusted on the outside, which I don't care for. The tuna was fresh and hit the spot The man got the combo for $20 that came with a drink and a small handroll. His ramen was really good, and he said he would go back. I really enjoyed the broth of his ramen. This place is a fun little hidden gem. If you like ramen, check them out for some fusion inclusions. read more

Went to sushi Neko and while waiting did not know there was a Neko Ramen. It was raining and windy so what better way to have your ramen cravings satisfied. I've been to several ramen places here, and honestly I need to say Neko Ramen's broth is the best. I love ramen or soup in general. And having so much options in HI, I missed the ramen. This place is a go to that I recommend if you want that tasty broth. They offer a combo which comes with any ramen of your choice, a drink and a handroll for $18. Can't beat that. Ordered sides, everything tasted perfect. Our waitress and waiter were super nice and kept checking in to see if everything was ok and taking our empty plates. The restaurant is a bit small, but we got seated quick as it wasn't as busy. I'm sure it will definitely get busy once people start hearing of this place. read more

It looks like she does origami for all the checks too so I just think it was incredibly thoughtful. read more

Pretty excited about this place! Decided to go into to Nemo Ramen since it was quite a wait for Neko sushi. It wasn't too busy with 3 tables occupied on weekend afternoon! The place is clean, with plenty of tables, and bar seating against the wall. Love the Japanese decor with the cute Neko neon sign. You can see the kitchen once you walk in! You're greeted so warmly once you arrive and I was offered a high chair since I had my baby with me. We were seated immediately and informed of the menu. They told us about their Neko Tekka which are hand rolls they serve in addition to their ramen. They also had a variety of appetizers too! Loved the options and the prices were fair! We decided to get two flavored ramens (Neko Supremo & Neko Black), two appetizers (salmon carpaccio & takoyaki), and one of each hand rolls since it was so affordable! We were told their seaweed is grade A & quality that the strip uses. Their quality of fish is also on point! I was so surprised to hear about this from a ramen restaurant! With each ramen, you can choose fine noodles or thick noodles. I was happy to have the option to try both. They were bouncy and soaked up the broth perfectly. Their broth is very flavorful. My favorite has to be their Neko Black! It was so creamy, had all the garlic I wanted, and my baby almost ate a full bowl to himself! Toppings were just the right amount with what it came with, but there are plenty more options you can choose from to add! This post is about my first time going, but we've been so happy with this place! Wait times aren't terrible and you get your food fairly quickly! Don't forget to end your meal with their cute mini ice creams! read more

Neko never misses I swear! This is their newest concept to open featuring ramen (of course) as well as some really delicious apps & hand rolls. It's located in the corner next to Sushi Neko & Neko Supremo. The inside is pretty small so I'd imagine they get busy quickly. During my visit I tried the Neko Black ramen. I loved the creamy, garlicy broth. I also like that you can choose between thin or thick noodles. I'm always a thick girl for sure. I also tried a couple of the hand rolls. They were definitely better than what you'd expect at an ayce spot. The fish was very fresh & they use high quality seaweed paper. I'll be back just for those alone. Another great restaurant by the Dragon Dream Factory! read more

The empire is expanding, but I wouldn't call this a new hope. Neko Ramen is the newest concept by Dragon Factories, the restaurant group behind such local favorites as Sushi Neko and Hwaro. It's right next to the original Neko and thus shares the same potential parking issues, although I did manage to find one in the sorta-garage area when I went later in the evening. The dining room can seat 35-ish people and was less than half-full when we walked in. I went for the advertised combo ($18.95), which comes with a soda, Neko Tekka, and Neko Special Ramen (aka not build your own). The soda option is just a can from the Coca Cola basic offerings unless you pony up +$1.00 for a tea. The Neko Tekka is a hand roll, and I was craving Unagi ($3.50 normally). The nori seemed fine, the sushi rice was pretty solid, and the eel was as good as you'd usually get it anywhere (such as Sushi Neko). I usually aim for a tonkotsu ramen nowadays if possible, and they had that as the broth in their Neko Supremo ($14 normally). First impression: two huge slabs of chashu on top. If you're tired of not having enough tender pork in your ramen, this is the answer. The broth is fairly creamy, but I wasn't that enamored with it. I was looking for a more creamy tonkotsu if that's all it is, or a more flavorful broth if they're stacking this against the big boy ramens of the other new ramen joints in Vegas. The thin noodles were fine and there were even more default proteins in the ground pork and soy marinated half-egg, but those didn't move the needle for me. I also tried some of my friend's Neko Katsu ($15.00). This was a pretty creative take. The broth tasted creamy and was not that much lower in flavor than my tonkotsu, while also being whiter and creamier in appearance. The chicken katsu was tender and still a little crispy, and wilted spinach wasn't bad. I'm not sure if the pat of butter was absolutely necessary, and it may take some work to stir into the broth evenly. They were running some promos. I think I heard that the 20% off is still valid, although my friend covered the bill so I wasn't sure. There are posters stating that the first 5 people at both 11am and 5pm daily get a free bowl of ramen, which I obviously didn't realize. There is a Yelp check-in for a cup of ice cream. My Thai Tea was rich in flavor but a little icy in texture; perhaps the freezer temp was a bit too low? Neko Ramen is a pretty good ramen spot, but it's not one of the very best in town. Come here if you wanted sushi nearby but changed your mind at the last second because they were both full of customers or something? I could see this possibly scraping into the top 5 or so, but I'm looking for a contender for top 2 or 3. read more
