text: OMG I read the other reviews I have to be honest I HATED IT It was SO AWFUL The food was bad the service was lame YES I am local have lived here a long time We eat out ALOT around Vegas but our experience Anime Ramen was a waste of money time I went there with my sons and their girlfriends we were all disappointed We went because my sons have friends in the Anime Club UNLV and they recommended it as being way better then Monta Ramen which is right down the street They were SO WRONG and both of my sons and their girlfriends made sure they knew it My Ramen did not even taste OK I ordered the Miso and it tasted of heavy fish sauce and had cilantro in it I took bites pushed the bowl away If I wanted to eat a Thai based noodle soup I would have gone to a Thai restaurant Even after I complained the waitress acted as if that was how Miso soup was suppose to taste I use to live in Japan I have never had cilantro in my Miso or even fish sauce My kids did not even finish their meals in fact later and after only being in the restaurant for mins we left and went to Monta because we were still hungry wanted a decent bowl of ramen We will not be going back to Anime Ramen ever and we dont recommend it to anyone by the way for people I spent less then including the tip for a much better meal at MONTA As far as atmosphere Anime Ramen is more of a hang out for kids then a quality Ramen Noodle House Quality Japanese Noodle Houses do not serve french fries burgers or Chicken Pizza I am sticking with Monta yes the lines are always long no matter what time of day or night you go the restaurant is small but it is SO MUCH BETTER worth the money and wait
