This is hands down the best ramen we've ever had, and we've tried ramen at tons of different places. I only managed to take a picture of my Tonkotsu Ramen, but we also ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, and both were absolutely delicious. The takoyaki was amazing too, the best I've ever had! I also want to give a huge thank you to our waiter, Garrett. He was friendly, funny, attentive, and incredibly helpful with our large family. He checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. We were in Las Vegas for six nights, and Garrett was by far the best waiter we had the entire trip. He truly made our dining experience even better. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Vegas! read more

Ramen Aku - Tonkotsu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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

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

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

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

Gary, the bestest server ever! He was quick and checked on us often to make sure we were all set. We came out of town for Evo and this was the perfect place to unwind, dine, and drink Thank you Gary!!!! 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

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

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

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. 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

Service was great and quick. Shoyu ramen was tasty. Definitely try the be cheesecake. Would try the other items in the future.

TERRIBLE. I was an avid fan of this place would bring friends and family here often up until their little revamp its been downhill since then. There was previously a blonde male waiter absolutely phenomenal 10/10 customer service and interaction. Now they have some chud with glasses who lingers a passive aggressive trail to themselves. On my LAST visit the AC was broken.. okay we asked for soda, he brought out our canned soda and cups with no ice.. okay i ask for ice and that to him felt like a nuisance..???? CMON your buildings AC is broken its a VEGAS SUMMER DAY and you made us feel like shit for ordering ICE ???? apart from that once we noticed him constantly hovering over us with his ipad when i asked him for a physical copy of the bill ( i came accompanied with friends and family so we needed to know who was paying what ) he cuts me off and says ill get a physical copy once ive paid.!!?.!1!?2 never in my dozens of visits have i been denied a physical copy of the bill before paying. And never once did he flip his screen NOTHING he simply approached us with his ipad told us a number and awaited payment.That right there was the ultimate slap to the face and is the reason i will not be coming back :/ + the owner or whoever that entitled stallion is is also no good terrible customer service and approached us towards the end trying to push us out + theyre trying to capitalize off the whole birria bandwagon with their new birria ramen but its mid at best youre better off hitting an AUTHENTIC mexican food spot for double the portions and half the price. + no complains on the amazing hardworking cooks in the back may they prosper.. as for you Ramen Aku DO BETTER. 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

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
