Our favorite place for a Japanese breakfast. Small breakfast menu but everything is delicious. I usually order the salmon teishoku which comes with salmon, rice, miso soup, and side dishes. I add the onsen egg and natto for the perfect breakfast. My kids love the udon and my husband enjoys the miso saba teishoku. Service is always friendly and polite. The ambiance is chill and causal. We love coming here for late night bites too. read more

Food was good! Service was good the waiter laughed at us when I spilled my ramen when I was taking it to go fair but still *whimper whimper*! A bit cramped and we got lucky! We came in without a reservation on a Friday night and all the tables were booked but a family shared the larger table with us. read more

This place is on the second floor of a strip mall in the middle of Chinatown. How I stumbled across this gem was I was at a Japanese festival in Henderson and bought a beef bowl (gyudon) from their booth at the event that was delicious. Visiting their location was eye opening. It was an authentic Izakaya spot. What is Izakaya? Think of it as a Japanese pub, serving snacks, small plates...the place you would go to after a full day of work to unwind. Their hours may seem a bit strange. I think they're open from 5:00 PM to 11:00 AM the next morning as they also server traditional Japanese breakfast here. I had the gyudon which is very, very good. Good flavor and a good portion size. In fact, the large order is sharable. What surprised me were some of their sashimi selections available. The quality of their fish was incredible and reasonably priced. I had the Hamachi and Chutoro sashimi which comes with their special sashimi soy. The presentation was very nice, and the portions were great - absolutely generous thick cuts of fish. I have to say, it is probably the best Chutoro I have had here in Southern Nevada, and I am comparing it to some expensive samples I have tried locally. Insider tip: They have a happy hour that starts at 9:00 PM and selections of the Chutoro and Hamachi sashimi are about $10.00...which is an unheard-of value nowadays. This is among many other happy hour specials. This is the perfect place to visit after a night out...for a night cap and some tasty snacks. read more

Our friends recommended this place and it was a wonderful surprise to find authentic Japanese cuisine in a small, nondescript strip mall in Las Vegas Chinatown area! Opened for dinner at 5pm. This is is the perfect Izakaya place-- it's very casual, has an old, timeless charm, very attentive service and a great selection of Japanese dishes from small bites, to noodles, to tasty chutoro, honey toast and drinks! Probably my favorites were: - Chutoro - Udon with beef and egg - Miso cod - Pork belly (order with a side of rice!) - OG Honey Toast (with miso caramel on the side) - Yuzu honey chuhai was pretty good, too Go check it out. It's only a couple of miles from the main strip! Open all night until 11am, serving authentic Japanese breakfast meal sets, too! read more

After a few days in Vegas, a clean Japanese breakfast is just what the doctor ordered. They have a handful of teishoku, or set meals, that are all structured around a main protein, plus a bowl of rice, miso soup, salad, and a few side dishes (kani salad, spinach ohitashi), and pickles. You essentially pick from your choice of Saba mackerel, salmon, beef, or poached egg for the protein. We ordered a Salmon Teishoku, Ozachuke with salmon flakes, and a bowl of hot udon. All of us enjoyed our meals. The food was simply prepared, nutritious, and soothing. The dashi broth of the ozachuke had a nice savory depth and was well seasoned. I liked the spinach side so much that I recreated it at home. It's the perfect meal. read more

Ichiza used to be the spot. But some memories are better left in the past, kind of like an old fling. You reconnect years later and quickly realize time has not been kind. Since moving to Vegas, the wife and I have been hitting up several izakayas around town, and we kept saying we needed to give Ichiza another shot, especially after they opened a second location. So we finally went on a Saturday night right at 5 PM when they opened. We grabbed seats at the bar, fully expecting the place to be buzzing like the old days. Instead, we were the only ones there for a solid 20 minutes. An empty izakaya is not exactly a great drinking vibe. It felt more abandoned than intimate. After our initial order and polishing off a pitcher of beer, we asked for the check and decided to take the night elsewhere. To be fair, the food was good. Just not nostalgia good. And the prices definitely hit harder than we remembered. Over $3 per skewer feels a little steep for something that used to feel like such a casual go-to. Once upon a time, Ichiza was unforgettable. Unfortunately, this visit was very forgettable. read more

A slight bit of delay in posting this review....some things are worth the wait, like great Yelp reviews. Japanese breakfast. This is my jam and makes me happy. I love it! Ichiza is the only place you will find it in the Las Vegas valley. Kiara is the server that is often floating around. She is nice and pleasant. Respects the space of letting me eat in piece or linger if I have brought a friend. The breakfast itself is ridiculously delicious to me. The salmon is so fresh, the perfect portion and very good quality. The tray includes the perfect balance of plum (up change), pickles, dicon, crab salad, salad and green tea. I became familiar with Japanese breakfast many years ago in Tokyo and eating hotel breakfasts. It fits into my personal healthy lifestyle. I love it and want to include it in my mornings when I can. I can make and eat some items from home, but Ichiza is the only place I have found in the Las Vegas valley where you can enjoy it in a restaurant setting, Japanese breakfast is the only reason I go to Ichiza on random midweek days. On that note, I do show up at 9-10am on some days and get shooed out because they are not open and making breakfast that morning. We Japanese breakfast eaters are a niche, so I think if they have no patrons most of the morning, they close early. If I have come maybe eight times for breakfast only, maybe 4 of the times I was the only person there. Two of the times, I was shooed away. The other two times, there were older Asian patrons there with me. The place is quiet and peaceful during the AM hours. Thank you Ichiza for offering Japanese breakfast. You do it well and I am grateful....except when I am shooed away (but I will still come and take the gamble). read more

Ichiza 1 is great place for late night munchies or just dinner in general! Me and friends were visiting Vegas and wanted to get away from the strip for some Asian cuisine. Service was very accommodating and the food came out quickly. We tried a bit of everything and nothing really missed. My favorites were the beef tongue and the bluefin dishes. Both came out perfect. Overall rating: 4.5/5 read more

I have no idea why I never wrote a review for this place. We came here a lot about 20 years ago, possibly, every trip to Vegas. Then, we started exploring other restaurants. On a recent trip, friends wanted to eat here so we tagged along. The food was as good as I remembered. I really enjoy izakaya style so you can order a bunch of stuff and share. My fave is always the grilled onigiri. SO good. The grilled skewers are also delicious, especially the shiitake mushroom, chicken wings, okra and chicken with umeboshi. Service was lovely as well. *Some photos are from previous trips. read more

Grateful for the opportunity to try their Chef Naka pop up! Got a reservation for 6:30 pm and the restaurant was pretty calm. Started off with a drink, but can't remember what it was called. However it tasted like a grapefruit soda. The food was served promptly since everything was all preordered. The Brie Tempura was okay. Definitely unique and different, but was a bit off tasting to me. The miso soup was perfect temp. Basic and good. The Main Entrees included a traditional Egg dish, which had a flavorful demiglaze. The egg was perfectly and softly cooked! Paired with the tomato rice was a match made in heaven. In addition we ordered the Wagyu Katsu: it was good! The curry was also very strong, so I didn't get a lot of richness from the meat unfortunately. I wish the curry was on the side next time. Desserts: 1. Lavendar Creme Brule: just the perfect touch of lavendar. Lovely balance of floral and sweetness. 2. Mango Cream Cheese: it was good. I loved the mango flavor, but the only thing I disliked was the crust at the bottom. It just didn't flow very well. The ambiance is nice and welcoming. I also love the traditional seating, but didn't get the opportunity. Service was okay, a bit slow. I felt like the food was fast, but for water or napkins, it was a bit harder to get the attn of someone. Overall it was good but the high price tag was a bit too much in the end. read more

The service was very good. But I came during non happy hour times and I felt the prices were pretty expensive. The first time I came here was pretty late and all the food and drinks cost a lot less.

This place is the best late night spot in Vegas. Hidden in a random shopping center in Chinatown, this place has great food, service and menu options. Good for a late night bite. Loud but vibrant place. Easy in and out. Ramen is different but good, udon is a must( add the meat), the happy hour chutoro is a must. You may wait a little for your food, but it's worth it because it is fresh. Will be back. read more

i came by here with my very large party of 18, and we all had such a good time! they have a lot of typical izakaya items, so we tried a lot of different things out of curiosity. everything we ate and drank was really yummy! food: - squid: perfectly soft and chewy - salmon carpaccio: fish tasted very fresh and the salmon cuts were good sized - okonomiyaki, agedashi tofu: classic dishes done well! - takoyaki pyramid: i thought it was funny how this was an option to order because it looked crazy with so many takoyaki balls! the takoyaki itself came out hot, crispy, and had a good amount of squid! - crab fried rice: this was made with imitation crab instead of real crab i believe, so not fully what i was expecting. did not enjoy this one as much as i wanted to - shiitake mushroom skewers: very flavorful and large mushrooms! - beef tongue skewers: the tongue was perfectly chewy! we ordered 2 rounds of these because they were so good - ginkgo nut skewer: interesting LOL it is exactly what you think it is drinks: - mega sized chu hai (calpico): a great tasting cocktail! definitely on the sweeter side of alcohol. the mega size mug is huge and was bigger than my face LOL - mega sized okinawa sunset: i forgot what the flavor combo was but this was pretty good! even though we had a huge party, the service was so quick and attentive! we were seated in a tatami-like seating area with fabric covered benches, and it felt very homey. i think this is a great izakaya around vegas, not too far from the strip! read more

Visited in May 2025 around 9:30 am. Ordered two breakfast sets and a toast combo. Service was fast and friendly. Store was clean. The hand written menu on the wall was a nice touch. It made me felt like I'm visiting Japan. Saba Miso Teishoku and Poached Egg Teishoku were both fantastic. Toast with homemade jam and coffee combo was a nice surprise. This milk toast came out looking so fluffy and shiny I almost apologized for trying to eat it. Thick-cut, buttery, slightly crisp on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. The homemade jam was hot and gooey like a warm hug from a fruit. Paired with a cup of coffee so smooth it could host a podcast. I came in hungry, left in a relationship with toast. Would toast again. read more

Really enjoyed coming here after EDC and was a little hesitant since I came here with a group of friends years ago and didn't feel stuffed. I think this time, I ordered the sashimi platter and the okonomiyaki which made my stuff feel satisfied. The quick service and the attentiveness of the hostess to prepare our food and check on our order was on point. The food was super fresh and definitely hit the comfort food level. So glad for the late night meal and grateful for them to be open at the early part of the morning (5am). Will return and recommend it ! read more

My go to place every time I'm in town. Ambience: on the second floor of a strip mall area. It's a cozy Izakaya with a limited amount of seating. Service: friendly and efficient. Food also came out quickly. Food: I've never come for the Izakaya part but the breakfast always makes me come back. I got the sabi breakfast set and the udon. It was delicious and surprisingly very filling. Overall, I feel like it's so rare to find a place with good Japanese breakfast, so this place is definitely a gem! read more

This place forever holds a special place in my heart. Their foods we tried were pretty good quality and filling and prices were so worth it!!! But the STAR OF THE SHOW: HONEY BUTTER TOAST!!!

The service was okay, it took a minute for someone to greet our table and get waters. The food was good, especially loved the mega honey toast tower. However, the price on the poster for that did not match what was printed on the final bill. The price on the mega honey toast dish was about $10 cheaper than what they charged us for, so they should update their posters or verbally let the guests know their updated prices. read more

First time visiting and definitely the last time!!! We waited 30 minutes for our order that was not going to come. The MALE server definitely knew we have been waiting for our order and have been avoiding us, no apologies no nothing. When we finally had enough, we asked the server for the check which she still refused to give and wanted to wait a couple more minutes in hopes that the food was coming but after over 30 minutes we just wanted to leave. To think they were not even that busy when we walked in. Such a let down and disappointment. The service between this place and the Ichiza Hanare is night and day. Definitely will just stick to Hanare because they do not provide this kind of service over there even if they were busy. read more

Rustic, traditional Japanese izakaya right in the heart of Chinatown. Always find myself coming back for their thick, superb cuts of sashimi (my favorites are the yellowtail and bluefin chutoro). Delicately crafted hand rolls with generous amount of filling all the way to the very tip. Street food faves like takoyaki, gyoza, and grilled skewers of all types. The classic: Tender, juicy sliced wagyu beef bowl with poached egg and chili crunch add-ons to really stick to my ribs. Hot, rich miso soup to wash it all down. And there's always something on special. No matter what the flavor of the night, it's all made and served with skillful hands and love of the craft. A must-try if you're in Vegas for a short time, a long time, and especially a good time. And they just implemented a sweet rewards system! read more

Came here for the first time with my cousin for a late night bite. All the skewers costs between $3.50 to $5.35 which wasn't too expensive. We ordered the chicken meatball, pork and onion, chicken gizzards, and the mochi bacon. Surprisingly the mochi bacon was my favorite, it was chewy with the bacon added flavor to it but overall everything tasted good. The place wasn't too busy but they were short staffed when we went. I think there were two servers and it took a very long time for us to get our checks. Still, great place for a late night snack if you're not too hungry! read more

Ichiza was a late night 2am spontaneous decision that had zero regrets. Their menu has almost everything from skewers, agedashi tofu, to collar. We wanted to try everything but picked the chef specials such as beef tongue and oxtail. Every dish was flavorful and over expectations. We were worried about coming in so late at night but it made our service twice as attentive (bc we were the only ones there ) Interior gives the late night izakaya vibes where you drink the night away with close friends and strangers alike. read more

One of my favorite spots in Chinatown for some late night Japanese tapas. These guys are open all night!! Kudos to the team for staying open as not many places do that anymore in Vegas like it used too. Went here after work with my girlfriend and everything was delish. Diverse selection with a cool atmosphere. If you come here get the simmered pork belly, yellowtail carpaccio and beef curry rice! Also can't go wrong with some skewers. They also have a second location that is more private if you want more secluded rooms read more
