Las Vegas: Ramen and Recovery – Lunch at Momofuku
After a night out in Vegas, some people crave fast food, but for me, ramen is the ultimate hangover fix. That’s how Tina and I ended up at Momofuku inside The Cosmopolitan around noon on a Friday. Most of the guests looked like they had already had a full night’s sleep and a green juice, while we were just hoping a good meal would set us straight again.
Momofuku has a lot of tempting dishes on the menu, but when you’re tired and a little worn out, noodles are the way to go. I ordered the Shoyu Pork Ramen, and it was exactly what I needed. The broth was richer and a bit cloudier than the usual clear shoyu broth, packed with deep, savory flavors and plenty of umami. The noodles had that nice springy bite, and the pork was tender and flavorful without feeling too heavy.
Tina chose the Ginger Scallion Noodles, which is a dry noodle bowl (no broth) topped with pickled shiitake mushrooms, wakame, and cucumber. A little lighter than the ramen, but still full of flavor, with a fresh kick from the scallions and ginger.
I know I’ve already said it, but the noodles at Momofuku really are worth it. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch or rolling in after a long night on the Strip, you can’t go wrong with one of their noodle dishes.
Bring a taste of Momofuku into your own kitchen with these easy-to-make, restaurant-grade noodles. Each pack comes with premium noodles and a flavorful sauce, so you’re just minutes away from an incredible meal. I love dressing mine up with a fried egg, some bok choy, and a spoonful of chili crisp for an effortless, delicious lunch or dinner.
