I hate to say it but my ramen was not good. Being from Seattle, I enjoyed years of great Pho before we relocated to Las Vegas. There wasn't a lot ramen up there before we left but the ramen in Las Vegas is pretty fantastic. We have multiple places that we love here, with our favorite being Ramen Kobo on Durango. They were closed the night we ate at Soru and my wife had a cold and really wanted some soup. Since the search for good pho in this town has been fruitless thus far and this place is the closest Asian soup shop near our home, we decided to give it a shot.
First the good. I had the Chicken Katsu Curry and I liked it. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was solid and I like their presentation. The space was warm and inviting and the service was friendly and fast. Unfortunately, we were primarily there for the ramen and it wasn't very good. The flavors were off and not good. I can't speak to what my wife and daughter ordered but neither of them liked their food. I ordered the Tonkatsu Black Garlic Ramen with extra noodles. The extra loodles came in a side bowl soaking in what I assumed at the time was broth but after dumping it into my main bowl, I wonder if it was just water because my ramen broth was probably the most flavorless broth I've ever had and I've had a lot of ramen so that's a significant statement. What I could taste of it, I didn't like. My one complaint about the service is that I asked specifically what veggies were in it while ordering because I do not like mushrooms. They rattled off two veggies, neither of which were mushrooms but when it arrived, there were mushrooms that I had to pick out. I guess I'll say this is on me. Going forward, I will just say no mushrooms no matter what. None of my "going forward" will be at this place though because none of us liked it at all.
Taste is subjective but fans of Asian soup who have consumed a lot of it have a pretty good baseline expectation of what they're getting and this...

I know my weaknesses and strengths. Food is my weakness always. Especially Ramen and my beloved Desserts. Something about the adventure of a new experience at a restaurant always piques my interest. Good or bad the thrill is exciting.
Upon entering was ushered to a table. Menus were given and drink order was taken. We were asked if there any questions regarding the menu.
Opted for Thai Tea, Hokkaido Tea, Tonkatsu Ramen, Shrimp Tempura, Chicken Katsu Curry, and Crab Rangoon. Everything was wonderfully prepared. And the curry was on point. Def made the day.
Interior is quaint. There are a few table and chair arrangements. Everything was very clean. Music was playing in the background.
Would def recommend- pricing is typical for Ramen houses now a days. Now what I love is the customer service. It is on point. It has remained consistent at every location. My table was continually checked on.
Location is Blue Diamond/Durango-...
Read morevery affordable and tastes pretty good for the price! we ordered the deluxe ramen ($14) and the teriyaki chicken curry ($12) and the meal was under $30 total which is really good. i didn’t get a picture of the curry sadly but it tasted good, we just thought the curry to rice portion was way too much, lots of curry for the amount of rice so i say either put less curry or more rice. the ramen was good too and was flavorful, it was similar to tonkotsu broth and comes with everything and 1/2 ramen egg. we also got level 1 spice on everything so if you are not a huge spice fan, the level 1 spice is very mild, we were thinking we will get level...
