Matsu Ramen & Katsu

A real hidden gem. As in, where have you been hiding from me all these years? hahahaI suggested this place to a group of friends and they didn't disappoint. Loved my curry pork katsu. I love Japanese curry anything. The katsu was crispy. My friends were all happy with their entrees and I tried one of their takoyakis and it was good too. We were there for a long time catching up and the restaurant was not busy, small tables, simple environment. Polite, straight-forward service. Good food and good value.

Matsu Ramen & Katsu has been on my Yelp Collection lists of restaurants to go to for a few weeks now. Looking for dinner options on a Friday evening, my husband and I decided to go to Matsu Ramen & Katsu. Matsu Ramen & Katsu is located on West Sahara and S Jones Blvd. I think this restaurant space used to be Mom's Teriyaki! There is plenty of parking spaces available.As soon as we walked inside the restaurant, we were immediately seated and provided menus. The menu offers a wide range of Katsu options, Ramen, Rice Bowls, and Korean inspired options too like the Jajang Bowl, Bulgogi Bowl, and the Bulgogi Ramen! Water was provided to our table while we were looking over the menu.I was really craving some Gyoza for an appetizer! When the team member came to our table to place our orders, we ordered the followingAppetizer: GyozaEntrée:Pork KatsuChicken KatsuThere were only a few other customers inside the restaurant when we had arrived around 5:00 P.M. While waiting for our entrée, the Miso soups came out first. The soup was extremely salty. I opted not to eat it after a few bites. Shortly afterwards, the entrees came out to our table within 10 minutes. The service was super quick!The Gyoza came out as the same time as the entrees. It was more like Mandoo though. It had a thicker wrapper with heartier filling and had some glass noodles. If you're craving some Mandoo, Matsu Ramen & Katsu has some good ones! Looking at the Chicken Katsu, it looked amazing! It was a large chicken breast with perfectly fried batter on-top of the chicken. Unfortunately after taking a few bites, I noticed that there were really small bones in a few of my pieces. I initially didn't mind, but when I came across a relatively large bone in my fourth piece, I felt it was important to bring it to the attention of the team member. When I had spoke to the team member, and even showed them the bone, but unfortunately, no action was taken. This restaurant's food is quite inexpensive though on a positive note, and the initial service we had upon entry was good! However, due to the issue with the entrée, I'm not sure if I'll be back anytime soon.

First off the experience started well, we chose to eat here because it was my son's birthday and he really wanted ramen, so we chose to try a new place and this one looked good to try. We appreciated the new renovations and the new menu for this place and we're excited to eat here and try different options.We sat down and ordered our food which was the chicken katsu curry we chose to get the curry on the side, jjajang ramen, and the chicken miso ramen. Keep in mind if you want to get things on the side you aren't able to they either add inside for you or none at all which why we opted for a plain ramen for my son.Once we received our food this is where our entire experienced shifted. We got the chicken katsu which was great. It was hot and delicious . But when the ramen came... it went down hill for us. There was a heavvvvvy smell of garlic which would be fine if we ordered specifically for a garlic miso ramen like some places offer, but my son doesn't really like that flavor at all from the first bite he told us he didnt like it, so we tried letting our server know and tried to switch it something else so he can eat it, she told us you can order something else but this is on your bill too even if you don't eat it because you ordered it. I let her know I understand but in the menu description there was nothing stated that garlic was inside and would heavily over power the taste of the entire dish. We started going back and forth and decided it was not worth it to argue with someone who didn't want to listen. They should really rename the dish to garlic chicken miso ramen because that the dish it self. My son was stating he was so hungry so he ate some one the katsu and we tried to take the noodles out of the ramen and dab as much of the flavor out and he forced himself to eat it. The server came by and saw what we were doing and said how about I give him a plain miso so he can eat it with the noddles you took out... "I feel bad since it's his birthday" at this point we didn't want anything else and tried to finish up and leave because we didn't want to spend anymore time here. The jjajang was lacking flavor and was nothing to write home to.At the end of this the katsu curry you should try if you do wanna come here. But our experience will have us going somewhere else.

I was recommended this place by a coworker. I was so excited to try since I love curry katsu and it did not disappoint! The food was so good and fresh! The service was excellent. I think the owner was there helping our server and they were both so friendly! My partner got the ramen and I got the chicken curry katsu! We also tried the house made gyozas! So big and so good! The pricing was also so good! We got to try so many things! I only wish the curry came in different spice levels, I love a spicy curry! But definitely will be back! I've been craving to be back!

Tried this place a few days ago and it didn't disappoint. The customer service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable.I ordered the pork katsu, and it was great. The portion of katsu was big, but the rice that came with it wasn't enough. The katsu sauce wasn't as smooth as I expected, but it still had great flavor. I also got to try the cheese katsu, chicken curry katsu, and takoyaki. They were all good. The miso soup was also delicious. One downside was the table size--it was really small. We were given small plates for the appetizer, but had to remove them because the table felt too cramped. Overall, we had a great experience. I can see myself coming back here again.

Food: I ordered the spicy beef ramen, and though the noodles were good, the broth wasn't as beefy as I would have liked. It was definitely spicy (not for the faint of heart!), but it wasn't very flavorful. Also a tad oily. There were also more onions than actual beef in my bowl. Need to add more beef! I loved adding the salted egg to my noodles -- the egg was the highlight of my dish. $1 for a HALF boiled egg though. Service: fine, nothing to complain about.Atmosphere: simple, casual, nothing frills. Plenty of free parking in the lot.

Came to try the curry chicken Katsu and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly cooked, not overcooked, yet still piping hot, and with a perfectly crispy crust on the outside. The dish came with miso soup and the hostess was kind enough to let me try their tonkatsu sauce, which was delicious. I feel like the rice to protein ratio was a bit lacking on rice, but for the price you get a lot for what you pay for. Dining area is super clean and the stuff is very funny. Food came out really quickly as well. Definitely will come back to try the ramen.

My family absolutely love this restaurant! So much so that we had our meals there for 3 consecutive days. Throughout the 3 days, my family had their tonkotsu ramen, bulgogi ramen, Japchae, home made gyoza, pork katsu, Matsu cheese katsu, and curry katsu. The katsu was super good. They were breaded well and very crispy. I highly recommend their katsu. The ramen was delicious too! The Japchae was flavorful, and the home made gyoza was big and filled with fresh ingredients. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was small and clean.

Wow! Probably the best Chicken Katsu in Vegas! The breading is super crispy while the chicken is tender. I got it with Curry. Oh man, the best!! We also had the Tonkatsu Ramen which was delicious. The interior is cutely decorated while chill music played in the background. On the corner of corner of Sahara and Jones, behind the Nevada Chicken Cafe. Super friendly service from everyone on their staff. We will definitely return!

Good food excellent service affordable prices and nice people Not hard to find. Perfect for a cool night. Next time I'll try the cheese katsu
