Ramen Show 2

This gem is located in the Chinatown plaza. We arrived shortly before they reopened for dinner and waited outside. Not long after we arrived, more people showed up, and a line began to form. When they opened, we sat down in the charmingly decorated restaurant. They serve Japanese street food, and the ambiance perfectly matches the theme.The menu features a selection of delicious favorites, and we ordered ramen and yakisoba. I enjoyed watching the chef prepare our meals as he added ingredient after ingredient to each dish. When we tasted the food, it was clear that all the different flavors balanced beautifully. The yakisoba noodles were firm and absolutely delicious. The ramen was also fantastic, but the highlight was definitely the savory broth. In other ramen places, I usually leave some broth untouched, but this was the opposite--I devoured the broth as if I hadn't eaten in days. On top of the delicious food, the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant!

If I were to rate this place on food alone I would only give it 2 stars, but the ambience and the really great server is boosting my rating to a 3.The inside of this place has a great look and feel to it, and we had a great server. So, we thought we were going to be in for a fantastic dining experience. Unfortunately, the food didn't cut it for us.We started with the crispy rice appetizer (3 stars). This was fine. I wouldn't have a problem sharing it if someone wanted to, but it doesn't compare to the crispy rice that we regularly get in San Diego, which is heads and shoulders better.The Tonkatsu Ramens that we had weren't bad per say, but neither of us really enjoyed ours (2 stars). For a Tonkatsu, the broth wasn't very creamy and the flavor profile seemed slightly off. Also, the pork cuts that came in our ramen were pretty much all fat. The noodles didn't really do it for us either. The one part of the ramen that was great was the egg....it was cooked perfectly. I would definitely not order the Tonkatsu ramen there again; was it acceptable to eat: yes. But, is it something I'd enjoy eating again: no.

I dined at Ramen Show2, and it was an exceptional experience! The ramen is incredibly authentic, capturing the true essence of Japanese flavors. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the noodles are perfectly cooked.The ambiance is casual and humble, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels just like a cozy ramen shop in Japan. The service is genuine and attentive, making you feel right at home.I highly recommend Ramen Show2 for anyone craving a delicious bowl of ramen. I can't wait to return!

In all honesty, we didn't know Ramen Show 2 existed on Spring Mountain until the Ramen Show on Rainbow closed down a few years ago. They had mentioned that this location also had handrolls, which was what had initially brought us to the Ramen Show on Rainbow. (I do believe they used to go by another name before - Takopa, and it specialized more in Japanese street eats.)Tucked away in a corner in Chinatown Plaza and hidden behind some stairs, Ramen Show 2 can easily be missed amongst the AYCE restaurants neighboring it. We've been fortunate to never have to wait when we showed up for a bite to eat - even on Christmas night!Despite having ramen in its name, we actually rarely order any ramen when it's the Husband and I dining. Sometimes, the Little Guy will order a bowl of ramen for himself but the rest of us like to enjoy the shared bites.Some of our favorites:* Show Style Spicy Cold Tofu $4.95 - The Husband just loves the leaf mustard, spices, and other toppings on this simple dish.* Tako Wasabi $3.95* Gyoza $6.95 - The Little Guy loves his gyoza, so that's always a given when we come here.* Grilled Pork Belly $6.95* Shishito Peppers $4.95* Grilled Salmon Collar or Belly $6.95 - Very generous. Order some steamed rice to go with it.* Grilled Yellowtail Collar $12.95* Agadashi Tofu $5.95* Soft Shell Crab $7.95 - They do a very light batter here and it's just lovely. We often get two.* Handrolls - Ranging from $3.75 to $4.95, we'll often get a few of these - Salmon Skin, Scallop, Ikura, Salmon & Ikura, Spicy Tuna, Salmon, and Soft Shell Crab* Sashimi Bowl $16.95* Mitarashi Dango $4.95One of things we really appreciate it that the prices haven't changed a whole lot in the past few years. We noticed most restaurants have increased their prices every year, sometimes even multiple times throughout the year. But Ramen Show 2 has been a steady ride. You can get some great grub without feeling like your broke the bank.There's one large table near the front, counter seating to watch the cooks at work, and a handful of 2 and 4 tops. Service is always efficient and pleasant. Ramen Show 2 will definitely remain in rotation when we're craving handrolls or some quick bites.

That ramen craving hit and I wanted to try a new place, so I hit the Google and found this place, lots of good reviews on Yelp.We did not make a reservation, although you can online, because it was Monday before 6pm. We parked and walked in and were given a table right away. Shockingly, most of the tables were taken, either early bird dinner eaters like us or really late lunch-ers. The atmosphere in here is great. Very traditional izakaya vibes going on with the wood, the seating and the general décor. It smells nice in here and there isn't too much clutter around.The menu was slightly different than the menu online, which made me a bit worried. My husband doesn't eat pork and I have to ensure we go to ramen places that have non-pork alternatives. Luckily, they do have chicken base, it's just different from the online one. My husbands chicken yuzu ramen was excellent. 5 stars for that one. My tonkotsu miso ramen was...interesting. It wasn't bad per se but there was a weird off taste that I wasn't familiar with, even though this is my fave type of ramen. The broth was eh. The chashu was extremely weird because it tasted like Chinese BBQ char siu. I didn't like the veg or the egg either. We opted for spicy karaage and I also wasn't too impressed with this. I know Japanese isn't a typical "spicy" cuisine, but there are other nice hot sauces that can be used other than the one that this place (and quite a few others) have been using. Great pricing though, so I would come back for a second chance. The chicken ramen is worth coming back in as well.

Plain but fillingRamen had a bit of a bland flavor, which was weird given that it was a curry that was supposed to have a bit of a kick. The rice looked pretty unappetizing with the stick of butter just randomly placed on, but was otherwise pretty standard. If it wasn't for the place being open late, I probably wouldn't have come, and I still would probably go to another place for my ramen cravings in the future.

They open til like 2am so best place to go after work. I love their small appetizers. Get their shio cabbage, chicken karaage, gyoza and tako yaki. Staff is friendly and nice. Seasonal menu is good too. They have sake like Narutotai. Get the spicy umami ramen spicy level 2

Tried Japanese ramen and ordered a spicy vegan ramen at this small little Ramen store in Las Vegas. There was a full house when we stepped in here for dinner time. The lady at the front was nice and got us seated ASAP. Overall the vibes made me feel like I was in Japan. The portion size though is huge so come hungry! My spicy Vegas ramen had so many ingredients inside that I couldn't believe it fitted in the bowl. I like the soup base itself but overall I didn't finish my bowl just because it was stuffed with a lot of tasty vegetables. For the price and amount, I think this place is a deal! They do sell regular ramen and sashimi too!

Another great dining experience, always delicious fast and friendly reasonably priced... A+

The ambiance and decor here reminds me of a Japanese izakaya, and having just visited Japan, it gave us a sense of nostalgia.That being said, we were not very impressed with the food. We ordered the following:Tornado Potato - It was served... lukewarm. If something deep fried could be served at room-temp, then this is it. Also, it was served with two pieces of potato fallen off the skewer, so taking a photoworthy photo was futile (though I still did, see my uploaded photos). Rating: 1.5 out of 5.Curry Fries - This was a HUGE letdown; we expected Japanese curry sauce served with fries, but instead the sauce is 99% kewpie mayo/1% dash of curry powder on top. Rating: 1 out of 5Veggie Gyoza - Out of all the appetizer we ordered, this was passable. Tasted like standard gyoza and was cooked the way gyoza should be. Rating: 4 out of 5.Vegan Ramen - Husband found it decent. There were a lot of noodles in his bowl that he didn't finish it all. Rating: 4 out of 5.Summer Special Green Ramen - This was refreshing as the noodles and broth were cold, though I do wish the broth had much more flavor. It was bland. They should add more yuzu or lime or something citrusy and it would be much more refreshing. Rating: 4 out of 5.Service was standard and the waitress was fast and nice. Not sure if we would come back here though.
