After visiting Claw Planet a couple doors down, we were craving for ramen. As long as they had karage chicken, that's all that mattered. The karage, gyoza, and ramen had the right flavoring. The Chashu Buns were good, that I ate it right away. The Shogun ramen was spot on with pork bone broth, signature dashi, umami miso, chashu , menma, bean sprouts, scallions, umami oil, seaweed, nitamago to make up the bowl. Sorry, forgot to take a pic, but you can see what it looks like in other galleries. Next time I will try one of the other ramen bowls. But we will always stop by when in the area, which is quite often.

Came in on a cold day so ramen was perfect! Not too busy around 6pm on a weekday. Ramen was rich and delicious and full of umami. Karaage was crispy and paired well with the spicy mayo it came with.

After their other location closed (?) I found myself trying this one. Different location, same amazing ramen. The neo tonkotsu is the ultimate comfort food! I always add a side of chili oil to bring some heat, and they nail it every time. It's also packaged super well which is a major bonus for online orders.

Nice small place, staff very professional. Had ramen and gyoza. Also tried the char sui buns. They have a limited menu which makes it easy to order. Wish they had tempura.

Brought my daughter here for a ramen dinner night. I was always a fan of the prior establishment, Monta Chaya, which unfortunately closed during the pandemic. It was about 7pm on a weekday and we had our choice of seating. We opted for the bar to watch the chefs prepare food. Servers were friendly, helpful, and attentive. Menu is limited but that's usually a sign that they've perfected a few key dishes rather than offering a multitude of mediocrity. Space is small, hosting maybe 6 or 7 parties and then additional bar seating, so I suppose on weekends you can expect a wait for a table. Parking is ample, as it is shared parking within the plaza. Food was good, no true complaints from me or my daughter. I appreciated that each of their ramen dishes had a description and had a specific noodle type that went with each item. I chose their Shogun Ramen, and my daughter picked the Classic Shoyu Ramen. I personally liked her noodle style better (thicker egg noodle maybe?), called the "No.22 Hokkaido & Tokyo Standard," vs. the one I got in my Shogun Ramen, which was a thinner "No.26 Hakata Standard" noodle. Being it was our first time with this menu, I had no idea what this meant and just rolled with it, but in hindsight I probably could have asked, or substituted for a thicker noodle, but all the same, I was appreciative to try the dish the way the chef intended. Noodles were a personal preference though, so I don't feel justified to knock it down more. The broths were outstanding though, and their Nitamago halves were DELICIOUS. Pro tip, let it sit in the broth for a bit, as I ate my daughter's half at the beginning of the meal and it was cold, but my egg had been in the hot broth longer and it was nice and warm. We also started the meal off with some gyoza - delicious and I really enjoyed their gyoza sauce which was readily available table-side. All in all, I would be open to eating here again, but would probably substitute for a thicker noodle. Great staff, layout and size is very reminiscent of a traditional Japanese ramen house, and well crafted menu options!

My go to ramen joint off eastern/215 The ramen is amazing (my favorite is the Shogun ramen) ... the broth is sooooo flavorful and the noodles are always cooked perfectly. The service is impressive too... I like sitting at the bar and watching them prepare the food... great ambiance!

I ate at the first Monta Chaya and it set the bar for ramen in the city. After Pandemic, this location reopened as Monta - but many of the popular items were now not on the menu. The response was to go to the China Town location and they still are on the menu there. After seeing Jinya Ramen move into Eastern and Sunridge Heights - it seemed like there was an opening for a bigger menu and more ramen. They missed the mark. Shogun moved in - they have brought the old Monta back. Pork Belly Rice - back, Shoyu - nailed it and now they have stretched into more menu items that make complete sense. The place was full prior to dinner and staff turned tables quickly. Price is close to the old Monta, quality is solid. If you are wanting the old Monta on Eastern - it is back - under a different name in Shogun with the favorites and (now various fried rice and octopus dumplings). Go for it when you want great comfort food at a good price that can get you in quickly to enjoy a great menu.

Best ramen around Henderson fo' Sho'. Shogun Ramen is the newest ramen concept from the owners of the old-school local faves Monta Ramen and the oddly-flavorless-other-than-spicy Ramen Kobo. Shogun's first location open on Blue Diamond last year, and it immediately leapfrogged everyone else for best Vegas ramen in my view. The restaurant group decided to retire Monta Chaya here on Eastern by Richmar to introduce a second Shogun this week. I came in for the grand opening special, which was advertised and available to the public. Fifty tickets are being handed out for lunch and dinner each day this weekend for one bowl of ramen per person. I missed the first seating but was able to enjoy a complimentary canned UCC green tea while waiting in the shade outside. The menu is similar but not completely identical to Shogun Ramen #1. After some internal debate and consultation with friends, I defaulted to their namesake Shogun Ramen. It was every bit as intense as I recall, perhaps even down to the aggressive seasoning. I found it to be a little heavy on salt for my palate, but the creaminess of the broth is undeniable. The noodles were thin but al dente, the chashu in my bowl was on the very meaty side (rather than fatty), and the bamboo, sprouts, green onions, and nori were all fine. Service was prompt and efficient, especially for a new spot. The dining room is probably almost identical to how Monta Chaya looked since they had zero full days of closure. I'll be back when I get the craving and especially if I can encourage friends to stop in. I believe Shogun may not be the absolute best ramen in town, but it's top 3 or 4, and it's closer to me and/or more affordable than other candidates. I consider it a clear improvement over Monta Chaya and hope that it remains successful in this spot.
