Great Service ! Amazing flavor - everything was on point, well be back ! We went all in on the AKU Special Ramen -- rich creamy broth loaded with: * Thick slices of perfectly charred chashu pork * Sweet corn * Jammy soft-boiled egg * Narutomaki (those adorable pink swirl fish cakes) * Bamboo shoots, green onions, nori, and a spicy kick For sushi we got the Tiger Sushi Rolls -- crispy, saucy, avocado-packed perfection with that beautiful drizzle read more

Disappointing Flavors, But a Hardworking Staff I visited hoping for a satisfying Japanese meal, but unfortunately the food fell short on almost every front. The Ultimate Ramen, despite its name, was underwhelming -- mediocre at best, lacking the depth and richness you'd expect from a bowl with that kind of billing. The sushi rolls were equally disappointing. Both the California Roll and the Philly Roll suffered from bland, flavorless rice -- the foundation of any good sushi. The sweetness and tanginess that should come through in well-seasoned sushi rice were completely absent. The Philly Roll was especially let down by the cream cheese, which had virtually no taste and added nothing to the roll. Even the wasabi lacked any real heat or pungency, which honestly surprised me the most. The one bright spot was the service. Our server was working the floor entirely on her own and still managed to be attentive and pleasant throughout. That kind of dedication deserves recognition. Overall, the kitchen needs to revisit its seasoning and flavor profiles across the board. With some attention to the basics properly seasoned rice, quality ingredients, and bold condiments,this place could be so much better. For now, it's hard to recommend. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

Don't sleep on Ramen Aku. Everything we ordered was soooo good. The garlic ramen, spicy garlic edamame, and seafood ramen were all standout dishes, and the edamame, pork gyoza, and tiger roll were just as impressive. What truly made the experience though, was our server, Garrett. He was attentive, friendly, and took great care of us from start to finish. His recommendations were spot on, and his energy really elevated the whole meal. Amazing food, incredible service, great atmosphere, we'll definitely be back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Also disappointing that none of the menu items tell you what they are composed of so you have to ask. read more

Came here for lunch to get out of the cool Las Vegas weather. No wait for lunch and food came out hot, service is fast. Love the interior dining area with the neon signage. The shoyu Ramen was delicious. Soup to noodle ratio was ideal. Toppings included: chopped green onions, Baboo shoots, sliced pork belly. The pork belly was tender, and you could tell that it was cooked before which gave it a nice smoky taste. Slight issue with Apple Pay at the end. But aside from that, food was perfect. read more

Bulgogi was too sweet and chewy. For the price I was expecting a bit more or at least taste better. The ramen was mid. We walked in-- no other guest in the restaurant but nobody seat us for a good 10 mins. But after we were seated, service was good. They checked on us and make sure everything is good. Cure little ramen shop, food can definitely be improved both in quality and flavor read more

I was there awhile back so I apologize for not writing then. The food was absolutely delicious! And I picked up a few things I had never tried before thanks to the folks who posted the menu here on Yelp. I hope to visit again soon as I live in the area now. read more

Found this little gem located in Las Vegas, Nevada very small quaint but very home feels and lots of space and the restaurant and restroom were very clean and that was a plus in my book.

If you're starving or in a hurry, select someplace else. Upon entering, in the early afternoon, I stood by the unattended "Wait To Be Seated" sign for almost 5 minutes. No one came to the front. It was not crowded. I had to walk to the back counter where 2 workers (possibly owners) still failed to acknowledge me. One of them looked up and I told him that I was going to sit at a table. He said sorry. A short time later, the other person brought me a menu and water in a disposable plastic cup. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen and an order of Gyoza. Twenty minutes after placing my order the first person came to my table and apologized, stating that they were working on my order. At thirty two minutes, my gyoza arrived. It was warm, as if it was sitting for awhile. There was no sauce. I requested gyoza sauce and was given what tasted like teriyaki sauce. The gyoza had a good taste to it, but was off put by the teriyaki sauce. At thirty six minutes my ramen arrived. It consisted of a good portion of ramen noodles, chashu, corn kernels, sliced bamboo shoots green onion, fishcake slice, seaweed and half a ramen egg, in a creamy black garlic broth. The ramen broth was warm. It had a nice flavor. The ramen egg was cooked perfectly. The corn and bamboo shots were firm and tasty. When I first entered the restaurant, there were three food delivery drivers waiting to pick up food. When I left about 55 minutes after arriving, they were still waiting. I'm not sure if I'd come back to this place. The food, although not as hot as I'd like it, was pretty good. But the wait to be seated, and the wait for my order doesn't seem worth it. I hope the service gets better. read more

Food is always excellent and service is always fast and friendly. We've eaten here several times, tried a good portion of the menu items, and enjoy it every time.

Was in the nearby area and decided to check this place out. We came on a Wed evening, it was pretty empty. There were a couple of "to go" orders but we were the ones in the restaurant. The place has plenty of tables, has a pretty cool vibes about it. The food is limited to ramen, some appetizers and some sushi rolls. I checked Yelp before heading over but when I got there, they had changed their menu 3 mos ago which I didn't catch because I was reviewing the old menu based on the photos shared. I failed to check WHEN those were shared so I was surprised to see a diff menu once I got seated. We ordered the following: 1. croquettes - they were delicious. I really enjoyed them. 2. chicken ramen - I like a lighter broth so this was good. It came with some pieces of chicken which tasted like teriyaki flavored. The ramen has the bamboo shoots and tons of green onion and half an egg which to be spy flavored. It was still soft in the middle (the yolk), so that was perfect. 3. Tonkotsu ramen: the meat was tender and smoky. It was good. The sauce is more creamy as that is how most tonkotsu base is. Overall it was decent, It wasn't bad but also nothing exceptional. The croquettes were good though and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. 2 big pluses! read more

The food was delicious and the staff were kind, funny, and attentive. They provided great recommendations for what to get. Highly recommend the spicy garlic edamame, and the black garlic ramen with spicy sauce added in. Lastly, if you can, get yourself some fried tofu. Their batter is fire and it was the crispiest, fluffiest tofu I have ever had. We'll be back next time we come to Vegas to try the Korean-style chicken. Yum! read more

I split the large Korean fried chicken and bulgolgi with one other person. It is enough for 3 people to share or if only ordering the chicken plenty for two people. Venue is clean and very themed. Our server was very attentive and checked in often. read more
