Vegas’ bustling Chinatown district has an exciting new destination for late-night cravings and authentic Japanese street food. Super Kyuramen, a top ramen bar and izakaya-style concept, officially opened its doors at Hotai Plaza.
Marking only the brand’s 2nd US location (and its first in Nevada), the space is designed to send you straight to the heart of Japan. From the delicious bowls of ramen to the dramatic interior design, here’s what you can expect from the newest late-night hotspot.
Step into a Tokyo alleyway (in the heart of Vegas)
Super Kyuramen isn’t just about the food – it’s also highly focused on the atmosphere. The restaurant’s design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese izakayas. Guests are greeted by warm lighting and traditional curtains.
The crown jewel is a lantern-lined yokocho (Japanese alleyway), built right into the restaurant. Walking down this corridor mimics the experience of exploring Japan’s iconic hidden dining alleys. Then, you’ll end up in the themed dining rooms – like manga cafes and ramen shops.
Before you leave, you can participate in a beautiful tradition: there’s a Japanese wishing tree where guests are invited to leave handwritten messages.
What’s on the menu at Super Kyuramen?
While the brand was born out of the founder’s trips to Japan, the menu goes far beyond noodles.
For the ramen purists, experienced chefs prepare rich, creamy, and aromatic soup bases for their signature bowls. For those looking to share, check out the expansive izakaya-style menu featuring:
- Signature sushi & seafood: highlights include the Super Kyuramen Dragon Roll, Toro Uni Crispy Monaka, and Jumbo Lump Crab Maruyaki.
- Shareable plates: perfect for pairing with drinks in true izakaya fashion. Try the many gyozas they offer.
- Unique items: try the Kyuramen Street Cup.
Traditional Japanese food, perfect for late nights
In true Vegas fashion, Super Kyuramen caters to the late-night crowd. The restaurant is open daily from 11:30 AM to 2 AM, making it an ideal spot for a lunch, a fun dinner, or a post-party bowl of comfort. See you there!
