Here\u2019s a fun fact<\/strong>: Originally called Bellagio Caf\u00e9, the owners had to rebrand to\u00a0Lugang (the literal translation of its Chinese name) because Bellagio has already been trademarked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/b>people looking for an extensive Japanese menu, although special items are regularly introduced. We recommend\u00a0<\/b>their Shiromaru Motoji ramen and the pork buns. New tsukemen ramen is available too.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/b>\u00a0is that cute \u201ckiddie sets\u201d may be requested for your little ones. P.S. Ippudo Matsuri cards are now available.
