Yelp Review 2024 #19:
A good bowl of udon is hard to come by in Vegas. There used to be 3 good spots in town and now, we're down to 2 including Omoide. Omoide Yokocho is an alley in Tokyo that's bustling at night with all the little restaurants and bars filled with locals and tourists. So, their decor is reminiscent of that but with more space and less chaotic.
Their menu reminds me of all the things I love in Tokyo and then some. I can eat everything that's on their menu. Karaage, takoyaki, gyoza, potato korroke, ramen, udon, tempura, katsu, sushi and sashimi. And then, then also have poke bowls and corn cheese - not Japanese but ok.
The first time we came here, there was a long wait. But it all depends what day and time you go. The service has been fast and efficient at all times.
Gyoza:
Perfectly cooked. The meat filling is tasty. 4/5
Gyu Don:
Thinly sliced beef with onions marinated and cooked in a sweet and savory soy sauce on top of a bowl of rice. This is a simple dish that's comforting and filling. 4/5
Shrimp Tempura Udon:
The shrimp tempura is light, crispy and not oily. Perfect accompaniment to a hot bowl of udon. The broth is savory and mildly sweet. The noodles are perfectly cooked topped with green onions and kamaboko (fish cake).
Tonkotsu Ramen:
Slices of Chashu with sliced kikurage (those rubbery mushrooms), bamboo shoots, green onions, and nori on top of ramen noodles. You can add more toppings if you want: corn, butter, egg, more green onions, menma (bamboo shoots), Chashu, nori, and bean sprouts. The broth is nice and hot that's perfect for the fatty pork slices. 4/5
For drinks, they have Coke products, Calpico, water, juice, Ramune, green tea, Thai tea, and oolong tea. For dessert, they have ice cream (green tea, black sesame, red bean), mochi, and honey toast.
