Ramen KoBo

My first time eating ramen and I will definitely be back. The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the waitresses were very attentive, especially helping me with the chopsticks since I didn't know how to use them 😂. I discovered this place through Google Maps and now I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

This is my favorite ramen spot in town! I recommend it to all my friends and family, whether they’re visiting from out of state or live locally. If you’re looking for a great dining spot, this is the place. I love that they clearly label the spice levels, and their pork belly is absolutely amazing. The shoyu ramen is my favorite, especially with the grilled chashu, and their tonkotsu broth is one of the best in town. You really need to try it for yourself. Once you compare it to other ramen places, you’ll understand why this one stands out.

Oh yea I'm going again! Wanted the Ox-tail ramen, but they had just stopped the special the week before, so got the new special instead birria ramen. It was solid, lots of tender pull apart beef, seasoning was mild, I would prefer a little heat. Enjoyed it! The black garlic broth was delicious and savory, I'll prob get that next time. Best dish of the night was chashu pork & chicken buns.. So good no one got a pic!

The food is good, but this place is getting a little stingy. This bowel was $17.00. There is hardly any noodles and we even paid for double meat the was non existent. Not the best business practice.

The food is good, though the menu offers limited options. However, the excellent service more than makes up for it—friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. A pleasant dining experience overall.

We had a very disappointing experience. I specifically ordered mild, but was served hot, which caused serious stomach issues. My wife ordered hot and instead received a watered-down medium, so both orders were wrong. Because of the spice, I ended up in the restroom in significant distress. When we raised the issue, there was no care or accountability from staff. To make matters worse, the manager on duty was rude and dismissive rather than apologetic or helpful. Mistakes happen, but how they’re handled matters. This situation could have been avoided if the order was taken properly, and it was made worse by the lack of concern afterward. We expected much better service and professionalism.

The food has always been great here. Year after year, more new places open up, but this place is always on top of my favorite list. I've never had a bad experience with food or service, always flavorful, and if you don't want it too spicy, just ask to have the spice on the side.

Great food. Been coming here for years, and KoBo remains one of the best quality/value ramen joints in Vegas. The dining areas a bit tight, theres not much space between tables. Feels like a traditional japanese ramen shop where you just eat quickly and leave. One huge personal gripe is if you order extras like chashu/egg, they consistently come cold. The soup isn't hot enough to heat them even if you immediately dunk them. Otherwise, 5 stars for sure.

Came here on a whim with a friend, this happens to be their favorite ramen restaurant in town, so I knew it was going to be good, and it definitely was! Ambiance: Located right off Durango near 215, it was very easy to find and parking wasn't an issue. Signage was clear. The interior is a bit small, but it honestly helped to give it that authentic Japanese restaurant vibe. We came early in the evening (5pm) on a weekday, and while they have a waitlist system, we did not have to wait to be seated. Service: Service was quick and very professional. We were greeted as soon as we came in, servers were helpful, and the ramen chefs in the kitchen were lively and cheerful. We were also wished well when we left, which was a nice touch. Food: The menu is simple and clear cut, with a variety of options without being overwhelming. As a side note I always appreciate quality over quantity, such as when you have a well-honed menu of really well-made items. I got the black garlic ramen (I love garlic) and it did not disappoint! The meal was made as I had requested. We left fat and happy, and will definitely be back for more!

We stopped in for some ramen on a chilly evening and it was perfect. It's a small restaurant but we were seated right away at one of the tables. They also have plenty of bar style seating. Our server appeared promptly, was very friendly and had our orders taken straight away. The Gyoza was probably the best I've ever had. It tasted super fresh. I had the Shoyu Ramen, medium spicy and it was exactly what I needed. A little spicy but not too spicy, the noodles were delicious and everything tasted very fresh. The price for two bowls of ramen with an appetizer wasn't bad at all and it was a great experience. Would definitely recommend and I will absolutely be back.

We sat at the bar and were able to watch food being prepared. Tables filled up while we were there. Ordered ramen and it was good but nothing really stood out about it to me. I ordered spam musubi as an appetizer and it was great. We also ordered pan fried dumplings which were good. The yuzu baked cheesecake was a small slice but delicious. I learned next time I will not share it. That being said I would return just to get a slice of that. The staff was friendly and the place was comfortable.

Small restaurant located on South Durango. Tried the Tonkotsu ramen. The flavors were ok. The broth was average and noodles the same. Had better.

Ramen Kobo is a great lunch/dinner. It is always affordable and delicious. Walking through the door feels like you are transported directly into Tokyo. There is a bar or small tables you can sit at. The service here is knowledgeable and helpful. The affordability is what I enjoy about this place. Ordered 2 pork ramen with some add ons. Gyoza( a little on the oily side). A beer and a coke. The total for 3 people with food,drinks and beer was around $50 plus tip. Which is great for Vegas.

Ordered mild (2 on their scale) but it definatly was not mild. It was more like a 5 or 6. I can handle mild but this was so hot I had to ask for Tonkonsu broth to help bland it down. It was still too hot. It vurned the back if my throat & couldn't eat it all.

Service was fine but quality of ramen and broth were meh. Not much flavor in broth- has to add some sauce and a bunch of chili sauce

This is my absolute favorite place to eat. I've never had to wait to be seated unless it was busy and I wasn't wanting to sit at the bar. I've been here over a dozen times because I love it. As soon as you walk in they greet you and acknowledge you are there, if there is a table present they'll seat you there - if not, they'll ask if you'd be open to sitting at the bar. The food is absolutely savory and delicious - the chashu pork is sooooo soft which I much prefer over other ramen places where it can be chewy. My staple order is a tonkatsu ramen. I've had the chashu bowl, edamame, fried pork belly bowl and pan fried gyoza to which all are savory and delicious. I've never tried any other ramen so I can't review those. I always recommend Ramen Kobo to anyone asking about ramen!

Great food. I have gluten intolerance and they made sure my dinner was completely safe to eat. The customer service is amazing.

Their ramen is amazing with lots of additions, and don't get me started on the steamed choshu buns!!! This place is amazing!!!!

Always great good! Service is great to always pleasant and order is always right! Kudos to Ramen Kobo for their consistent great service!

Called ahead to place an order for to go. Got to the shop and was told that they were not done yet. Asked the male waiter if I could just cancel it because I had to go, but was told that they were already making my order. Surely it would be done in a timely manner if they were finishing it up. We paid and had to wait another 25 minutes!! With average tasting ramen, you would think they would make it up with customer service. Made a mistake eating ramen kobo today when there are plenty of other ramen shops in town.

The miso ramen was just not it for me. The ground pork wasn't as flavorful as I expected, but the real bummer was the noodles- the texture didn't work. The texture was a little chewy and there was something about the flavor that I can't quite put my finger on, but I didn't love it. The broth itself was nice though, and I ordered it hot which they definitely came through with. Great spice factor, but not my fav.

My husband and I had Tsukemen, I like it. For my husband it's too salty. Mini mentaiko bowl was a bit disappointing. The fish roe was so little for the price they charged is not worth it, no seaweeds as shown on the pictures in yelp, only green onions. The kimchi fried rice is good. Gyoza was so so. Service is good. The place is cozy.

We wanted to try a new ramen place on a Friday evening. We had great customer service and we're seated right away. The noodles tasted fresh and the workers were very helpful, especially with our baby being with us. We would definitely come back. The food came quickly and the price was reasonable. My oxtail was wonderful and the meat fell right off the bone. I can't wait to try the dishes. Everyone greets you as you come in and when you leave. Very authentic place!

Very very good. Had the dipping Ramen and over would absolutely order it again. Here for a soccer tournament and it's being held around the corner. Great place to eat and not heavy food.

My favorite ramen in Las Vegas by far. I've never had a meal here that wasn't delicious. They are consistent with their spice level. It's always super flavorful. I will go out of my way to here. With that said...I wish they had a small sushi menu, like a crispy tuna roll, some hand rolls, or a few signature rolls. That's the only thing that I would like when I go there that's missing.

This is definitely in the top 3 of my favorite ramen spots! Service is always excellent here. It's a little small, but haven't ever had to wait. I love my spicy foods & they have definitely meet that satisfaction with their spicy tonkatsu ramen will be coming more often as the winter season is approaching & it's right down the street from me!

I was really looking forward to trying Ramen Kobo because of their outstanding pictures here on Yelp!! As someone who grew up in Japan, I thought their ramen looked authentic and they probably knew how to make good ramen. Unfortunately, their pictures were misleading and reality was a huge disappointment. First, don't forget to reserve your spot for their waitlist on Yelp. If you don't have Yelp, or are from the older generation be prepared to wait a while. Yelp is a priority for this establishment! Second, the ramen. We ordered a bowl of ramen each, gyoza, and fried rice. The ramen came out and it was lukewarm. Despite ordering extra spicy, I did not have to blow my nose once.. having to blow your nose and being sweaty while eating a bowl of ramen is what's its all about. This ramens temperature was as if it's been sitting out on the counter for a while. If I didn't order the extra toppings of corn and egg, it would have been a very sad bowl of ramen. The chashu was great, but again very small.. They were very stingy and cheap with the toppings, the bamboo shoots thinly chopped, and beans sprouts were basically non existent. Also, when did Nori become an up charge as a topping????? Last, the sides. The sides same out when we were practically done with your meal. Again, lukewarm.The gyoza was very small.. you can buy better quality gyoza at Trader Joe's!! The fried rice barely had any meat or egg, it was just an expensive bowl of fried rice (literally just rice). I usually feel full and heavy after eating ramen but I actually left this place feeling hungry. The total including 20% tip was over $60. Unfortunately you can't walk away full from a meal with that price anymore.

The food here is always consistently delicious and fresh. This is my go to spot for Ramen. If you know me the camera always eats first. Having said that, even after all my videos and pictures the broth remained nice a hot. We ordered: Miso Ramen with Soft Boiled Egg Fried Rice Edamame The Ramen had that Umami flavor, so freakin good. Noodles were fresh and I usually add a soft boiled egg. It had a nice creamy texture. I like some heat but I wanted to control the spice level so I asked for the chili oil on the side. Fried rice was good as well. It had egg, onion, and chopped chashu pork. Nice savory taste to it. They now had edamame which is a favorite of myself and some of my friends. They also have Happy Hour Combos from 11:30 - 6:00pm everyday. It's a great deal. Service is always great as usual. Always greeted and welcomed with an enthusiastic "IRASSHAIMASE"!!! This place is always clean and well organized. The servers are always friendly. Food always comes out in a timely manner. They have some type of system to where the food comes out quickly but the quality is not compromised. This place does get busy during peak times and u love the fact that they have the option on here YELP to join the waitlist so you can plan your visit accordingly. I feel all restaurants should Implement this. Check out the video and pictures. If you want to the full video go to my Instagram @uncojepp.eth

Today, I went with my partner to Ramen KoBo and tried their limited edition Birria Ramen, and wow - we're big fans. I was skeptical at first. Not going to lie, lol. I thought it would be another marketing or trendy gimmick. Plus, I had doubts that a Japanese ramen shop could authentically make a complex, delicious and rich cultural item like Birria broth. Boy, oh boy was I in for a treat. The Birria Ramen exceeded all my expectations. It was delicious, tasty, rich, very well-presented and intentionally crafted by the staff at Ramen KoBo. It was so good that I'm already thinking about going again! Somehow, the noodles, broth, garnishes, including the side quesadilla just all worked seamlessly together. However, where Ramen KoBo really, really shined was their customer service. The staff - all of them - were warm, kind and so welcoming. They took time out of their day to interact, engage and answer any and all of our questions. Ramen KoBo, the staff at today's visit deserve a massive shoutout for their incredible work today. We'll be back!

I had a fantastic experience here, the food was delicious! If you like ramen you should come down and try this place. I think they give you great portions. The spicy stuff can be served on the side loved the pickled ginger that was served with the fried rice. Everyone in our party was happy with their food and service. The restaurant looks clean but not very big inside. Try it for yourself.

Our new go to Ramen place. Friendly staff. Very cozy, just a few tables in but we don't usually wait to be seated. Food is good and the price is very affordable. Near our house so this became our Ramen fix.

It is very small in here. The place has limited seating. The food was good, I ordered gyoza, fried rice, and the edamame.. the fried rice and pickled ginger was sooooo good I ordered another to go!! Service was quick and the price was decent. You definitely should check this place out!!

Outstanding ramen and very Japanese restaurant. Service is excellent and the ambiance is like sitting in a cute little shop in Tokyo. The food was really authentic and they know how to serve spicy tonkatsu. The prices are very reasonable too. Will be back.

First time trying out this restaurant. Everything we had was really good! Customer service was awesome, everyone was so nice and friendly! Definitely recommend if you need your ramen fix

The customer service was great. I was greeted when I walked in. It's a cute spot right off the 215 freeway. I tried the miso ramen to go. It was overall delicious. I didn't care for the flavor of the green onions. I did have mushrooms added to it which tasted great. The ramen is reasonably priced also. I would have to say more reasonable than other ramen places I've tried. So, give this place a try

People were super friendly, helpful, and speedy. The space is small but does the trick. The ramen was fine. Not the best I've ever had (miso broth so maybe i should have gotten a different one I guess) but I enjoyed it enough to go back for lunch some time. I got spicy (second from the hottest) and it was barely warm so I'll up that next time too. Overall, go and check it out if you're in the area and need some broth warmth, it'll do the trick.

Ventured to the Southwest for a different meal and stumbled upon Kobo with an amazing discovery. Not only was the meal terrific, I learned that Kobo is part of the same restaurant group as, what I believe the be the original Vegas ramen spot, Monta. Not everyone in Vegas can fit into the Chinatown spot, so it only made sense to duplicate the experience in this other pocket of town. I love that Kobo's entrance has a clear view into the clean kitchen showing the area where noodles are made from scratch and stored. No wonder when I sat at the counter, noodles tasted so fresh. Even at the counter you can see the noodle masters assembling their works of art, just like the OG spot, Monta. Kobo has all the staples: Shoyu, Miso, and Tonkotsu. They even offer Tsukemen, which perhaps its cold-served noodles goes well during summer, but can certainly be enjoyed anytime of year. It was cold winter during my visit, so it was nice to have my bowl a little heat offering with a spice level mild (of original, mild, medium, hot, and fire). Great overall experience and safe to say I found my go-to SW Vegas ramen spot!

Its really great Ramen and the staff is so friendly. We love the pork rice bowl as an appetizer. Everything is really moderately priced and we are always greater with a smiling face. Keep in mind this place is very small inside.

One of Vegas' better Ramen places. Exceptional quality and the price is amazing. Word of warning: DO NOT ORDER from the link you see on Apple Maps or Google. You get scammed by 25% charge even if you are picking your own food up. This is GrubHub scam. You should only order takeout directly from Kobo calling or their website. I found this out the hard way as you don't realize GrubHub adds 25-30% until you see their normal menu prices.

Wow! This place has the best ramen. They make their noodles fresh and you can taste the quality. Servers are attentive. It's a cute and quaint place. Also, the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

This place is a couple of miles to our house, so we tend to go here for some ramen. This is our go to ramen place. We had good experiences coming to Ramen Kobo. The ramen is always on point. The gyoza are amazing. You cannot go wrong with the tsukemen also. The prices are fair, not too bad. The customer service is awesome. Very friendly staff and quick service. Come and check them out.

I've heard some good things about this place, i can't pass up good ramen so I had to give it a shot. The place is on the smaller side, I must have chose a good time to stop by because it wasn't packed or busy whatsoever. The menu is simple, 4 regular ramen dishes and one dipping style. 7 appetizer special dishes. I tried the meso ramen, fire spice level, and it was really good. Would definitely say it's in my top 3 in town. Overall, I really liked the place and would definitely return again.

Overall enjoyed my experience here! This ramen place is small but very tidy and there was not a wait when we arrived at about noon. Service 5/5 - The service was fast. We were seated right away and did not wait too long for our food. Our server was also very kind and attentive! Food 2.5/5 - I got the tonkatsu ramen with Medium spicy on the side and an added egg ($1.5). I tasted the broth without the spice first and it was okay, a bit lacking in flavor and it had a VERY distinct ginger taste which made the whole bowl a bit odd. I love ginger, but it was more ginger than any other flavor. When I added the spice it was more like mild, so I requested the spicy (which is $1 more) and that definitely helped flavor up the broth and take away the strong ginger taste! The noodles in the ramen were really great, they were thick and chewy! Price - 4/5 the prices here are very fair! They set the price of the base ramen pretty low and you can add preferred toppings which brings the price to about the same (or even lower still) than other restaurants. Overall, the service and price are pretty good if you are in the area just looking for a quick bite/bowl of ramen!

Great service, fast and friendly. Very clean. Ordered the Pork Tonkotsu Ramen, added black garlic oil. Absolutely delicious! Medium heat, spicy but not too spicy. Full of great fresh made ramen. So good! I'll be back!

Sooo disappointed again.. This used to be my favorite spot to get ramen but the last few times were such a let down and I decided to try again. I came in not too long after they opened, hoping the ramen would be better but why was it the worse i've ever gotten here. The soup tasted completely off, it doesn't taste the same at all. I got the medium spice level, like i usually do and it wasn't even hot or had any flavor at all! It tasted like oily water. The noodles tasted old or something. It felt soggy and had a weird slimy coating on it, that kinda seemed like it was soaked in egg yolk for some reason.. I don't know if they changed owners or something but their ramen is not the same as how it was.

4 years later. Ordered take out. Curry Ramen & Extra Noodle. Came home and checked my order. Missing the extra noodle. Feel like they just took my money, even after tipping extra on a to-go order.

Maybe it's just me? Lol. I've given this place a try twice and I just can't get there with how much everyone raves about this place. They're not bad but to me it's not super great, I don't get that wow factor. The menu is super simple only about 4 s different ramens to choose from, I will say that their price point is one of the best things about them and that they make their noodles fresh. The inside is super small so be sure to be prepared to wait or add yourself to the waitlist here on Yelp.

We have ordered takeout here a few times now. I love all of their different ramen variations! Love how I can personalize my ramen and it's always perfect! My husband love and I mean LOVES their chasu bowl! Would highly recommend trying this spot if you enjoy a good ramen bowl, especially great during the winter months!

Great place great food and great service! Great whole in the wall ramen spot and the you have to order the kimchi fried rice with the fried chasu on top! Also the pork belly bowl is bomb too

love love coming to kobo and eat ramen, the people here are very friendly and make sure to repeat your order before sending it in. the noodles are a great and nicely cooked, you do have to pay for extra sides like egg and you get to choose the spice level. the ambience is always nice, cold and dim.

We've been coming here since 2017, and it's always been one of our favorite ramen spots. However, during our last two visits, both my son and I had bad experiences. While the food still tastes great, we both developed stomach flu hours after eating here on both occasions. Unfortunately, we won't be returning anytime soon.

Wow!! I finally found an amazing ramen place in Vegas. I loved the Spicy Miso ramen. I got it medium and glad I did because I wouldn't have been able to handle more. The noodles are fresh made and you can definitely tell! The flavor was perfect. I added the egg and loved it. Cathy was my server and she was fantastic! Super attentive and friendly. She showed me her favorite menu items too and was super patient with all my questions! I highly recommend trying this place out!

I recently visited Ramen Kobo during lunchtime and was pleased to find that there was no wait when we arrived at noon. I decided to try the Tonkatsu mild ramen and found that it had a pleasant flavor, though I was hoping for a bit more spice. While I enjoyed the dish overall, I did wish that there were more noodles in the bowl, and the chashu wasn't as soft and juicy as I had hoped. Additionally, the noodles were not as chewy and fresh tasting as I would have liked, and the broth was just okay. Despite these minor drawbacks, I did appreciate the pleasant dining experience and the convenience of not having to wait in line during a busy lunch hour.

Excellent food and service. Their food comes out quick and well prepared. Portion to price is great. Good music playing in the background.

Ramen was good! I rarely finish a whole bowl soup and all... but I left the bowl empty here. Haha.. small space but the service is fast and efficient. Nothing bad to say about this place. They are consistent. This is probably a top pick for me when I'm craving ramen.

Very small ramen shop but was very busy when my boyfriend and I arrived. They seated us within 3 minutes of putting ourselves on the waitlist and our waitress was very attentive to us. We ordered a miso ramen and tonkatsu ramen and both were delicious. We loved how chewy the noodles were and how soft and buttery the chashu was. The prices are great and worth the price. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a ramen lover!

As little as 6 years ago from 2024, it was hard to find a ramen house, let alone a good ramen house. Now, ramen restaurants are everywhere! I just love a great tasting ramen. I love when my first taste of the ramen has many flavors explode in my mouth, yum! It's not often but these guys pulled it off with the Tonkotsu Ramen with black garlic oil. Thanks Ramen Kobo for delighting my tastebuds with your food and prices.
