Mensho Ramen

We just discovered an authentic Ramen spot that just opened 5 months ago in Utah! 🎉 They import ingredients straight from Japan and focus on farm-to-bowl freshness, making their Ramen noodles daily. Our waiter was Ryan and made some great suggestions. He was very personable and knew the menu very well. We tried the Karaage, Japanese fried chicken with a sweet and spicy kick, and it was a game-changer 😋. The A5 Wagyu Niku sushi was a highlight, with the same quality and taste as we experienced in Japan. We ordered the A5 Wagyu Garlic Niku, it was fantastic. My wife ordered the Duck Matcha Ramen and I ordered the G.K.O. Ramen, if you love garlic this is the Ramen to order. They were both unique and absolutely delicious. This place is now a top pick for us and Ramen lovers. I strongly suggest arriving early for lunch because tables are limited. It would be worth the wait regardless.😋 *** Ok, the only negative is locating this amazing restaurant if your not familiar with this area. It is located in the Post District Apartment retail area that are outside (right on the side of Traeger HQ). The parking is available underground for visitors. They do have validation for 3hrs, which is a bonus because it would cost $10 every 30 mins. A good suggestion is to look at the signs before entering parking garage to be sure it's not the entrance for residents. Enjoy your new favorite Ramen Restaurant ☺️😋

The food was delicious, definitely made for flavor and quality more than quantity. They source food straight from Japan and local Utah farms. We ordered the A5 negi sushi, which had raw wagyu on it but was so soft and didn’t even taste raw. They also provided a free sushi roll with it too. We also ordered fried chicken (very tender), garlic ramen and matcha ramen. The broth was very creamy and the noodles thick. This food is high end so be prepared to spend more money. The waiters were very attentive and helpful. Great service.

The flavor here was absolutely incredible. Favorite of the night was definitely the garlic knockout ramen. Although the duck matcha sounded tasty, I would say the matcha flavor didn’t make the dish unique. If you’ve never tried wagyu before in a dish or sushi, I would highly recommend! Best place to introduce someone to sushi if they are hesitant.

We ordered the Garlic Knockout, Spicy Chicken Karaage and Matcha Pudding. All of them were excellent. Garlic Knockout Ramen was really bursting with garlic flavor which I enjoyed and the broth was super thick. Matcha Pudding was so light and refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness. Would totally go back.

Out of all the items we tried, our favorite was the karaage and wagyu niku sushi. Ramen was just ok. Not a big fan, just did not like the flavor of it. The ramen soup was way too creamy, bit on the thicker side. We eventually got tired of it fast and had to cleanse our palette down with water. I do not think it's going to be everyone's cup of tea. I did enjoy trying it out but unfortunately will not be returning. If you are someone who likes trying new things out this is a cool place and maybe you'll enjoy it.

Ramen had really great flavor, and they source their ingredients from local farms. The broth is really rich and noodles were perfect! It is definitely pretty pricey for ramen— expect to pay $30+ for one bowl. The place is cozy and suited more for smaller groups. We got there right when they opened and didn’t have to wait, but there was a long line after we were finished. The bowls don’t come with an egg or any additional toppings, so be prepared to pay extra for those. We wish the waiter explained the menu a bit better, but overall the service was quick and our server was really friendly. Not sure how often we’ll be back considering the price, but it was nice to try out!

Mensho Ramen is a small restaurant with excellent service. The staff were friendly, fast and really attentive, which I appreciated. The ramen was good but honestly nothing extraordinary. For the price, I was expecting something a bit more impressive. It’s definitely on the expensive side. The space is pretty small and doesn’t have much atmosphere, so it’s not the coziest or most comfortable place to sit and eat. The worst part was the parking, an absolute nightmare. Finding a spot nearby felt like mission impossible, which makes visiting kind of a hassle. Overall, I’d give it a 3.5/5. Great service, decent food but pricey and hard to get to.

Definitely top tier Ramen. The sushi and other appetizers were also divine. Really, it was everything that we tried was fantastic. The staff was great. Friendly and attentive without being annoying and gave great recommendations and descriptions about the menu items. Can't wait to come back and try more varieties.
