Ramen-Ya is short for Ramen Katana-Ya. Located in one of the rows of the Grand Bazaar shops (with other more reasonably priced eateries and souvenir shops) on the strip, next to the Horeshoe Casino.
I stopped in for lunch the other day and ordered what I would consider their kitchen sink Ramen, the "Yokozuna Supreme", which is a large bowl probably enough for 2 people to share (with an additional appetizer), or a really hungry person to finish. It includes a sampling of all their protein toppings (fried chicken karaage, pork chasu/belly slices, thin beef slices, gyoza, and boiled egg with some sprigs of spinach leaves, green onions, corn, and a small square of dried seaweed). Though the online menu notes a spicy miso broth, you can modify this to another broth base and spiciness level. I also ordered a hot oolong tea, which came in a to-go cup.
The ramen was tasty and noodles were cooked to slightly past al dente. I enjoyed all the toppings, but I think I would ask for the fried chicken and gyoza toppings to be on the side, so that the batter doesn't get too soggy before I have time to finish them. The fried chicken pieces I received were juicy pieces of white meat. The gyoza had a very finely minced filling texture of meat and veggies/cabbage/onions - so this wasn'tmy favorite of the protein toppings. The egg was also overcooked and hard-boiled, instead of cooked to a medium consistency with a semi-gooey yolk (typical of other ramen venues). The thin beef slices were marinated in teriyaki and similar to that of Korean bulgogi. And the pork chasu/belly slices were very good and tender. I would definitely come back but likely only get the fried chicken, pork chasu, and/or beef toppings for the ramen. Tea was also nice and they topped it off with more hot water so that I could take it with me.
