Omoide is my new favorite for authentic Japanese comfort—everything from the service to the food is top-tier, and the vibe is cozy, modern, and full of heart.
If you’re craving real Japanese flavor in Las Vegas, Omoide Noodles & Bowls on Rainbow Blvd is the spot. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere wraps you in warmth—clean, stylish, and just the right amount of intimate. It feels like a place where someone really cared about the details, and it shows.
The service? Friendly, fast, and thoughtful. Staff are attentive without hovering, and they’re happy to explain the menu or offer suggestions if you’re torn between the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and the Gyudon Don (both are amazing, by the way).
Now the food—this is where Omoide shines. The ramen broth is rich and layered, the noodles have that perfect chew, and the toppings are fresh and generous. The poke bowls are colorful and satisfying, and the gyoza and karaage are crispy little bites of joy. Even the sides like onigiri and potato croquette are worth ordering. You can tell they care about quality and flavor in every dish.
Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and quality. You leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. It’s the kind of place that works for a casual lunch, a cozy dinner, or even a quiet celebration.
Omoide isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a reminder of how good Japanese food can be when it’s made with care. Definitely a new favorite, and absolutely...
Read moreCame here to get lunch before leaving Vegas. I love Japanese food, but I’m not a fan of sushi-only or ramen-only places. I very much prefer these places that offer small hot plates, often reminiscent of an izakaya experience. We ordered a couple noodle dishes (cold soba and cold udon) and then a couple hot plates on top (tofu steak and takoyaki). Everything was really good, and at a decent price. The tofu steak came out sizzling, was perfectly cooked, and had a delicious sauce coating. The udon had a plethora of toppings, which is rare as a lot of noodle dishes at restaurants come only with a little bit of topping these days. The cold soup for the udon wasn’t the best, but the noodles were tasty without too much of it, so it was still great. The umeboshi and bonito flakes went really well with the cold noodles too. The takoyaki was also soft and delicious. It was a really yummy meal and would definitely come back if I ever visit...
Read moreWe came here based on Google reviews. While the food seemed pricier than other places, the generous portions and clean presentation made it worth it.
We ordered two bowls of the Spicy Shoyu Ramen, but unfortunately, the strong pork smell and less-than-fresh mushrooms were disappointing. On the bright side, the tonkatsu was unexpectedly huge and absolutely delicious. If you’re craving thick tonkatsu, skip the King Size and go for the curry tonkatsu—it’s thicker, meatier, and more satisfying.
Service, however, was a different story. There was only one server handling everything, and she looked exhausted, wearing an expression that screamed “I need a nap.” She wasn’t exactly brimming with enthusiasm when bringing out the dishes or sides.
Still, if you’re in the mood for a mountain of tonkatsu, this place is worth a visit. Just don’t expect the warmest smiles...
