Great pop up inside of Izakaya Tora selling different sandos and sides!…read more My bf and I tried every sando!! We preordered at least a day before. Each came in a little box and all except the king katsu sando were cut into thirds. They use super nice yum slightly sweet thicc bread for their sandos. Sandwich fillings were also great ideas and overall tasted amazing, though some I thought needed more salt or pow. You can tell it takes a lot of time to make these sandwiches bc of all the ingredients and parts! Stand out sandos!! -- Menchi Katsu Sando: yummmmm. THE SAUCE!!! Crispy and well seasoned. Our fave of the bunch. 10/10 -- King Katsu Sando: a king fo sho. Katsu was crispy and yum. What made it stand out was the squash mash! You can taste it and I thought it was unique. The ratio of katsu to slaw to pumpkin to bread was good. -- Strawberry Matcha Cream: one of my personal faves. Also I'm on a matcha train rn so.. but it's good! The texture was a dream bc of the soft bread and the thick but still light matcha cream. The slight bitterness of the matcha paired well with the slight sweetness of the bread. The strawberries were super sweet too. It was like eating a cake but not too sweet so was perf. Held up well. I really wanted to try their sides but didn't get to this time. They all sound really really good. I'd come back to try their sides. Overall highly recommend!

Saw ads on Instagram for a BOGO sando deal and decided to give this place a try. It appears to be a…read morepop up place within the Izakaya Tora restaurant. I placed an order to pickup for several sandos to try. I received to call to ask if we could reschedule the pick up for another day because due to volume they could not do orders without at least 24 hours in advance and wanted to make sure quality was the best as possible. I can respect that, so we rescheduled for the next day at 1pm. I arrive the next day at the scheduled time to find out that the restaurant wasn't even open yet, it has a totally different schedule compared to the pop up hours. I waited around for a bit and tried to call but the phone line was constantly just not available. I also tried to message the business via IG too. I was so confused and thought I fell for a scam. I eventually gave up waiting around because I was starving at this point. I called later in the night and someone in the restaurant did finally pick up the phone. I explained the situation and they explained that something with their systems caused this mix up. I requested for a refund or some way to fix this problem, which they agreed to issue and offered to give our order and 1 extra for free to pick up for the next day as an apology for the inconvenience. The next day comes around and I had my partner pick up because I had to work. She received some sandos but to our disbelief we didn't even get the order we originally put in correctly. We received 5 sandos in total, 2 of which were duplicated and the extra was one that wasn't what was in the original order. So we basically only received 3 out of the 4 sandos that were ordered. SJ (the chef or owner? not too sure of actual position) apologized profusely again and offered to give us one of each sando for free to pickup for any other day. I scheduled this for another day and on the day of I receive a message via IG saying that their deep fryer broke, needing to reschedule for tomorrow. At this point, I was so disappointed from all the rescheduling so I wanted to just give up on the order since I had to work. I asked to just make sure my refund was actually issued because I saw that I was charged. They agreed to double check and confirm the issued refund, then offered delivery as a way to make good. I wasn't opposed to a delivery since most of this inconvenience is also needing to drive 30+ minutes away to pickup. I accepted the delivery offer, gave my address and a drop off time. I was left on read and no one ever showed up the next day with anything. I wish I could give 0 stars for this atrocious service, but the one star can be for the sandos I did actually receive. The food was good and the menchi was the favorite. I'm incredibly disappointed by this experience, please don't give customers so many false promises and not follow through.

STOP READING AND GO ORDER SOME KOUIGN AMANN FROM HERE! LIKE RIGHT NOW! These were the best damn…read morekouign amann I've ever had, and I'm sad I didn't order more to bring home with me. I found this shop on social media while visiting Vegas but was not able to go to the farmer's markets to get these... so I messaged the owner on IG and was able to coordinate a delivery to my hotel! All of the flavors we got in the sampler pack were amazing... we tried the classic first and it was a perfect introduction to the caramelized crunch of the outside versus the soft, pillowy texture of the inside. The raspberry had a nice sugar sprinkle on the outside to contrast the tart berry jam on the inside. The guava cheese gave that nice Latina flair, and the churro was sinfully good (perhaps with a dulce de leche on the inside???)! All in all, I would 10/10 recommend the kouign amann from this shop, and I look forward to the next time I can get more when I'm in Vegas next.

Lemme walk you through it fellow "what and where should I eat-ers" It's Wednesday you're mid strip on a sweltering Vegas summer evening and you see the desert oasis that is Cleaver. You're HOT, you're hungry, and you find the light at the end of the tunnel. You walk in from the open oven that is the Vegas strip and into a cool crisp embrace of the a\c and a warm smile from the hostess you sit at the bar and Estaban (or Cane) welcome you with a cold water to regain your wits. He tells you 2 things, one it's happy hour and two, he's always happy. I take a look at the menu (that to me is like shaking hands with an old friend) and order the "this can't be real" option on the beer menu that happens to be the only (surprise) option for MALT beer, the LEGENDARY mickeys 40oz and am presented with a FLAWLESS and UN IRONIC bottle presentation that I've ever received for a drink of this... Let's say "Calibur" Time to grub. Cesar WITH ANCHOVIES, DOUBLE CUT (2x The bones 2x the flavor) PORK CHOP (29 BUCKS IS CRAAAAZY WORK) with a BLU CHEESE CRUSSSST. I know it's controversial but it's crucial. For the starch I went bourbon shallot potatoes (because duh) and a olllllll reliable SIDE OF MUSHROOMS. *Airhorn*. As Karla (the somm for the venue ) happened to mention there was a French Pinot Noir that peaked my attention. Wine arrived just as I finished my 40oz, appetizer, and salad. ENTREES ARRIVE.It's F**KIN GO TIME. I. KNOW. the stigma behind pork. I got mine MEDIUM. It has a good amount of intervieninus fat, a decent fat cap and MEDIUM is the PERFECT temperature to RENDER the fat and take that gristle and turn it to BUTTER. Slice to your liking, spatter the potato like your building a brick wall and spear a piece of mushroom for what I call *THE PERFECT BITE* and wash it down wit a sip (or swig) of the afformentioned wine, close your eyes and see what remmy saw in the beginning of ratatouille. Good food, good company (the staff),and good drinks. What more can a person ask? Keep up the good work Cleaver, from front to back you're a gem of the industry!

I've been wanting to check out Smoke & Fire now for over a year, but haven't had a chance to go…read moredown towards the airport area in the evening in awhile. Usually it's just to fly out of Las Vegas for a work trip. This time though, I was in area for the US Post office. Looking for nearby places to eat, I saw that Smoke & Fire was only 10 minutes away! My husband and I stopped by for dinner around 3:30 P.M on a Friday at Smoke & Fire. The restaurant is located near South Pecos Road and East Russell Road. There was plenty of parking spots available. As I walked inside the restaurant, a team member had greeted us and let us know that it was open seating. There were only a few other customers inside the restaurant at the time we had dinner. There was plenty of tables inside and outside the restaurant though! TVs were situated throughout the restaurant. There was a variety of sports games playing. When we sat at our table, the team member brought over menus and asked if we'd like anything to drink while we looked through the menu. She also went through any dietary restrictions and some of their highlights at the restaurant, specifically, Smoke & Fire is known for their blueberry chicken sandwich. There are other options on their menu though, like BBQ items! Meat platters: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Ribs, Hot Links, smoked Chicken Quarters. Sandwiches: Chicken Sandwiches, Brisket Sandwich, Donut Smashed Burger (Seasonal), Sliders Chicken and Waffles, Street Style Tacos, Chicken Tenders and more! After looking through the menu, we ultimately decided on the following 3 Meat Platter: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Brisket with Mac N Cheese/Sweet Potato Tots The World Famous Blueberry Chicken Sandwich: Pepper Jack Cheese, Housemade Blueberry Jam, blueberry aioli, and Jalapeno. The service was super quick. I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes for our meal. It was nice that our meal was served in to go containers as well! The highlight of the meal was the blueberry chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and tender. The blueberry aioli and the jam was scrumptious. This was a first time having a sandwich like this before! I would come back to Smoke & Fire just to get the sandwich. The BBQ pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket was good. I enjoyed the mac n cheese and the sweet potato tots though! I don't normally see sweet potato tots so I just had to try it out! They were super crispy and packed with flavor. The food was yummy here and the service was fantastic! If I'm in the area again, I would stop by Smoke & Fire to have another meal. I think next time though, I am going to have to try out their pulled pork burger!

Urbani Truffles Pop-Up Restaurant is located in Eataly (The Italian Marketplace) located in Park…read moreMGM. This restaurant is a Truffle Themed Restaurant and is only open for Truffle Season that is around November till the end of February. This restaurant offers a limited menu of Antipasti, Pasta, Piatti (entrees) Italian wines, and beer. They offer mostly seating at a small counter and there are a few high top cocktail tables. This restaurant does not take reservations. We arrived extra early for dinner for our best chances of being served. I found out that they were out of one third of the menu and were only two plates away of being out of another plate. We changed up our order and moved on. We started with the Burrata. This was my favorite dish of the evening. It had delicious flavors and textures. The Urbani Truffles went well with this dish. We also shared the Agnolotti Piemontesi (ricotta filled pasta with truffle butter). The pasta was perfection and delicious. I also thought it was a good portion size. For our main we shared the R.R. Ranch Beef Tenderloin with mashed celery root and carrots. This was good but the truffles sort of got lost in this dish. The beef was tender and nicely infused with flavors but missing a needed sear. The people working the counter were nice but we had to ask to get a clean plate for the steak. I'd highly recommend to try the burrata for a nice treat and a truffle pasta is always good. The Urbani Truffles do have a different unique taste compared to other truffles. This was a fun indulgent stop.
