text: OK so I moved from Los Angeles to Minneapolis I used to enjoy outstanding sushi at Sushi Go at rd and Alameda and very good ramen at any of the Santouka or Daikokuya locations Hamada at the Flamingo is the epitome of mediocrity But they have to work to attain that height nn for small pieces each of maguro and sake and VERY thin slices of hamachi in the sashimi appetizer Now to the abomination they call shoyu ramen Tiny and very dry even in the broth pork slices The noodles were from a package of instant ramen and were overcooked About pieces of green onion And incredibly weak and characterless broth I could taste some shoyu but it was like the Japanese version of a poor mans soup luke warm water with some shoyu splashed in I will say this though There was a shitlload of bamboo in the bowl Maybe that was the only ingredient the kitchen had Or maybe they could not reseal the container Hamada should be ashamed of itself to call this ramen Save your pennies and go to Sushi Roku in the Forum Shops across the strip Their hakata ramen was decent Not great but decent And they have a much better selection of fish for sushisashimi
