    $20 set of chicken yakitori.
    Diana W.

    With tons of izakayas around, this place is still our fav take out dine-in, show off to LA friends/family of local affordable/cheapest price and okay quality Japanese food, and NO lines. Not the best, but good enough for its price. The staff will make you feel at home, great customer service. *This place is better at sashimi and simple fish cuts (not carpaccio, suacey more westernized stuff), appetizers, grilled proteins, fish protein bowls, some soups.* Their yakitori is not for us. If want to see if our standards/levels match your tastebuds? I explained where we are on that spectrum. They increased their prices on some items but not all of them. $6 Sapporo Draft nos vs was $4 drafts. Salmon and eggs is our #1 favorite dish was $12. It's now $15 and called Salmon bowl. Whole grilled squid $12 now. Hibachi Kama (Collar) was delicious and hefty. Suggested by the manager/owner. Now $20. Grilled Freshwater Eel was $13, now $15. Small Sashimi Set $35. Shisamo $8. Oden (fish cake) soup now $15. Still a favorite dish when feeling sick, unwell. Tako Wasabi $4. Grilled Flounder with delicious pepper sauce. Ika Natto $5 Our standards: Coastal big city non-Japanese descent ppl privileged to be around enough typical Japanese food, a city with a decent size Japanese communit(ities) within the it. Our expectations usually is by price, we're not elevated foodie type for fancier dining experiences unless it's for the entertainment of it, etc. We like city versions of hole in the wall, ghetto fab, semi-purist, daily casual and sometimes clearner types of food. So this place fits the daily casual place to eat at. If you're looking for more perfection in dishes, there's tons of other places to line up and pay higher prices for in Vegas. For those coastal city ppl even coming from NY NY, where the norm for casual/mid tier least westernized sushi places costing easily $100ish per person (less than $100 per person), this place could be an alternative for you. Ppl coming from big city super suburbs, towns/no where towns (local vegas is more of a town, not city) then of course this place will be awesome no matter what due to lack of resources and exposure in one's area. Shoutout to the team who makes it worth it to constantly visit, make us feel at ease and special with take outs to welcoming tourist friends/family...Noelle, Dillon, Natalia, Sophia!! Thank you!!

    Spider Roll
    mich l.

    Came here for a late dinner, post BTS concert. It was full, and the background song was all BTS songs. We ordered spider roll, it was a little disappointing, the sushi roll kept falling apart, the taste was good and the cream was crunchy. The tofu was ok. And the tempura bowl was ok. We have an attentive staff in spite of a busy night. Plenty of parking but it can get harder especially when the restaurant is full. Ambiance was casual and noise level was a little on the louder side.

    Salmon crudo

    Great place! Available seating which was nice and very intimate setting. The only thing that was uncomfortable was the seats themselves- the cushions after a while do a number on your back. Now down to the food! Delicious food, great quality fish and huge portions! We probably ordered to much, but everything we tried was very good! Will definitely be coming back. Top favorites: Sushi tacos - blue crab and Negitoro Karrage chicken- reminded me of Taiwanese popcorn chicken! So beyond delicious! Salmon crudo was delicious Will avoid: Maybe I won't get next time is the sashimi platter and stick to more of the crudos etc. Beef Tongue was tuff and not tender like it usually is. Aside from that everything is really really good! Can't wait to try the actual sushi rolls there. Will be back!

    The food was amazing! We went for the viral sushi tacos, and fell in LOVE! The service was super fast and welcoming. The place overall is super cute, we will be going again!

    I have been seeing the sushi taco trend on TikTok and this place has them. I got to try the salmon, soft shell crab, and negi toro. My favorite was the soft shell crab but the salmon was also yummy because it was flavorful. I wish I wasn't full from my last meal so I could order more. We got spicy edamame to try but we wish they had shishito peppers. They just didn't have it at the time. The food came out quick and if you needed anything you just pressed the button. I would definitely come here for those tacos and it's great that they open late. I'll be coming back here next time!

    Definitely a hidden gem! Plenty of parking, which is always a plus, and the restaurant itself is super cute with a great amount of seating. Customer service was on point from start to finish, and every dish came out fresh and hot. We ordered a variety of items off the menu and were honestly impressed across the board. The gyoza ($6) was perfectly pan-fried with a great crispy bottom, and the filling was packed with flavor. The dipping sauce had just the right hint of spice to bring it all together. The takoyaki ($6) were hands down some of the best we've had at any restaurant. Super crispy on the outside, and when you bite in, the inside just melts and oozes out, so good and full of flavor. The squid leg karaage ($10) was a great starter. Squeezing fresh lemon over it and dipping it in the mayo and spicy sauce combo made it even better. Definitely recommend this one. We were especially excited about the soft shell crab ($9) since it's hard to find it served on its own. It did not disappoint... perfect crunch, great flavor, and the dipping sauce really elevated it. The tonkatsu curry ($13) was a standout. The jasmine rice was cooked perfectly, the curry had rich flavor with tender carrots throughout, and the katsu was fried to perfection... crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Easily a 10/10 dish. The curry udon ($9) is perfect if you're craving something comforting...just curry and noodles done right. The udon ($8) had a flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles, simple but executed really well. The crazy dragon roll ($13) was definitely a highlight. The amount of eel on top was impressive, and the roll itself was a great size. Everything from the rice to the flavor balance was spot on. Every dish that came out had us smiling, we genuinely enjoyed everything we tried. Highly recommend this spot, and we'll definitely be back again soon!

    4.5 star visit rounded up to 5 stars. Quality/Quantity - Due to arriving late in LV and eating a larger later lunch, I would have enjoyed this dinner more, and I would have ordered more and tried more. Scallop (Shio) Skewer - Small scallops, but cooked perfectly. With two options available, I let the waiter pick salt and pepper for me. I enjoyed the other crunch and softer center. Egg Plant Skewer - I could have and should have skipped this. Needed to be a little crispier and it was so little quantity. Are eggplants out of season? I will probably not do the Yakitori next time, just trying to relive my Japan experience. Blue Crab Meat Taco - HOMERUN! Wow, I was a little jealous when I saw this come; I almost ordered one for myself. Generous crab, and how did you cook the seaweed into a taco shell? Thick and crisp! Whole Squid (Ikayaki) - I have been craving this for the last few years! I usually buy it at KP Market in Oakland, CA, but they have not been selling it... The squid was cooked perfectly. I would have liked my onions browned a little more. And the sauce could have and should have been much more spicy! But I can understand that most of your customers might not prefer the HOT spicy korean sauce. Its Izakaya Roll - Have to try the signature roll. Decent quantity, espesically for the price. Basically a CA roll with some deep fried chicken in the center and their special sauce. It was okay. And to wash it all down, a 21oz Sapporo; they were out of the $4 draft... Ambiance - Decent size restaurant. Got lucky as we did not have reservations and were seated at the last available table. Most booths seat up to 6. Cool decor throughout, see pictures. Small parking lot, but all us tourists ride share here. Only the locals drive. Due to peak season and peak dinner time, my round trip ride share (2.6 mile each way) cost me $60! If added to the dinner price, it was expensive, lol. The customer base is a mix of locals and tourists (thanks to Yelp). Unisex restrooms. Service - Good, but had to ask for "everything" which they brought to us with no issues. Forks, ginger & wasabi, extra frosted glass, water refill, etc. All 3 team members were good. Price - $46 + tip. Reasonably priced, normally I would have ordered an extra sushi roll ($15 more), but again, due to my late lunch and being a light eater, I just could not eat any more. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the last 3 years. Looking forward to sharing this experience with my friends on my next visit.

    What a great find on Yelp! Went to their happy hour open- 9 pm! Really enjoyed their choice plate sushi- a fantastic choice with a good selection of great sushi! We enjoyed it all - fish was really fresh and tasty! Loved the generous portion of edamame steamed w/ a hint of salt ! Soft tofu a perfect compliment with our sushi order Grilled yellow tail Kama- omg the best ! I always order the Kama if it's on the menu and this one was awesome- loved the way it was grilled! So on the money! The service is awesome and very accommodating- they were there for our every meal! Parking is easy ! We'll be back for sure!

    They no longer have Happy Hour ...prices can't stay they told us. They don't have Salmon Skin handrolls They do have nice private booths and you just buzz for service which is nice Poke salad was good. Tempura too heavy and greasy and I think upset my stomach Salmon hand roll for $5 was good OK but not the same experience... The truth is in Vegas go to a place right when they are new and trying to get lots of solid reviews , if you go back in a year they may not be as stellar

    Sashimi Combo (Small)
    Jim L.

    Brought some out of town guests as it's always a sure bet for a good meal here! Dylan and the crew were on point and the beer was ice cold! 3 of us chose the small sashimi sampler (my favorite) the miso salmon was perfectly prepared - moist and flavorful. Didn't try the oden soup but our friends raved about it, she said like mom used to make. The kaarage as usual was crunchy and juicy and the sashimi dishes were very fresh. My go to Japanese restaurant did not let me down!

    This was our second visit here. We stopped by for some late night eats. Husband wanted Izakaya and this spot came to mind. We were greeted and seated quickly. Love the vibe of this place. They have a good decent size menu. They have a service button to alert when you are ready to order. We ordered Chicken Katsu, 2 different orders of the crispy rice, agedashi tofu, pork jowl skewers, blue crab fried rice, fried oyster and shishito peppers. we def ordered more food then we expected lol Food came out fairly quick. Everything was delicious- the blue crab fried rice was the star and the sauce that came with the pork jowl skewers were good. The shishito peppers was on the spicier side- whew my nose was running lol. The agedashi wasn't served with the normal soft tofu and it was lacking salt. Our son killed his chicken katsu. The fried oyster was good too! Overall, we enjoyed everything. Definitely a spot worth trying!

    Kakuni (Simmered Pork Belly)
    Jennifer C.

    One of our go-to spots for solid food! It's not super authentic, but good quality and great prices. The service is also spot on. I especially love when tables have the bell to call your server because it just makes everything easier. We always order the udon and the chicken Karaage for our kids and they never disappoint. Both my kids will eat their entire dishes so these are 2 things we always get. I'm also a huge fan of their its izakaya roll and bonus! it's included (along with many other sushi items) in their 20% deal mon-thur from open to 9pm. Everything else we've tried has ranged from good-great (luckily nothing bad), so you really can't go wrong. The space is good and love that there are tons of booth seating. The only point I might make is that their light fixtures could use some dusting lol.

    Spider Roll
    Kevin P.

    The spider roll was really delicious and we enjoyed the deep fried soft shell crab pieces. The Kaizen bowl was fresh but some pieces we did not enjoy, such as the squid and liver. Chirashi bowl was better and virtually the same. What we didn't like: I got food poisoning immediately after and I'm assuming it was probably from the uni because it didn't taste fresh and had an odd smell to it. Also, the Japanese owner I'm assuming was racist towards a Latino family enjoying their meal and mocking them in Spanish. As someone from that community I didn't appreciate her approach in the way she spoke to them. Won't be coming back!

I especially loved that much of the menu is designed for sharing, making it easy to sample a wide range of dishes without spending a fortune or getting overly full. Their $3.95 section is a fantastic value and encourages you to try items you might not normally order.

I don't think they are usually this busy though, as they were definitely understaffed that evening. Service was consistent throughout the night, and the servers were cheerful and doing their best to take care of everyone. The restaurants design is very relaxed, with some optional bar seating to watch the chefs cook and roast the skewers, with additional options for booths. After 10 PM, they offer a happy hour special with $5 hand rolls, cheap drinks, and basically half off of all their skewers, potatoes, and small bites. On the particular evening that we went, either they were extra busy and had too much customers from CES... but they ran out of sushi rice and did not have any hand rolls....How does a Japanese restaurant run out of rice??? We were super disappointed and ended up just getting skewers. Itzakaya Tora, you definitely need to step up your game and have better management in the future for these big events. I don't think they are that new of a restaurant, but they definitely let me down. Chicken and pork skewers ($2 per skewer, 7/10) - super juicy! You can definitely taste the charcoal and barbecue flavor. They do a great job of keeping each skewer, moist and juicy, that I didn't feel like I was eating burnt skewers like you get at some other restaurants. - $2 per skewer is pretty good for the happy hour deal, but I think it's much more expensive during the regular menu option. Don't think it would be particularly worth it with their regular menu. Overall, super disappointed that they didn't have any more of their sushi, rice and best do not have any $5 hand rolls during their happy hour. Also, the wait was super long to get in, and they were definitely understaffed. If they had all their food selections available, this would probably be a higher rating, but the long weight and lack of menu items was super disappointing.

I have come by for happy hour multiple times which is when they do these $5 hand rolls, I could be wrong but I believe they are $5. I recall getting yellowtail and it's delicious. Izakaya Tora is a Japanese restaurant off of paradise really close to the strip and the sphere. It is fairly small, but they have non ayce sushi which does = higher prices but better quality. They have a pretty large menu of kitchen items, sake and drinks, and sushi and sashimi. At this visit we shared a scallop crudo that we liked, a yellowtail crudo that we loved, lamb chops were good, and I believe three rolls. One of the rolls we didn't like because they make the srirachi in house which was more sweet than spicy, but the others were good. I do like this place but it is not a quick stop type of place. It's a spot you come and hang out and take your time. Food can take some time but worth it with the quality and taste. It is also not cheap so more a quality over quantity situation. Service can be a little slow but pleasant. Overall I do like this spot for happy hour if I want a late night drink and bite of sushi.

My family made a reservation because they wanted to celebrate my birthday, so I was really looking forward to it. When it is your birthday, even a small detail feels a little more important. You want the night to feel special, smooth, and happy from the beginning. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there seemed to be a small issue with the reservation, and the table we were given was much smaller than expected. Since we were there as a family for a birthday dinner, it felt uncomfortable at first. I have to be honest -- my mood was not great in the beginning. It was one of those moments where you think, "Oh no, is this how the night is going to start?" But then the food started coming out, and Hachi completely turned the night around. The first thing that changed my mood was the beer. The draft beer was served in an unbelievably icy-cold mug. It was not just cold -- it looked and felt like it had come straight out of a freezer. The foam was smooth, the beer was crisp, and the first sip was so refreshing that I almost forgot I had been upset a few minutes earlier. That beer alone deserves applause. Sometimes a perfect cold beer can fix a whole mood, and this one absolutely did. The biggest highlight of the night was the tuna toro. It was incredible. The texture was so soft and delicate that it almost felt like cotton candy melting in my mouth. Rich, buttery, fresh, and so smooth. It was the kind of bite that makes everyone at the table stop talking for a second. We loved it so much that we ordered it three times. Ordering the same dish three times says everything. It was not a maybe. It was not a "let's think about it." It was a clear yes every time. The skewers were also very good. The grilled meats had a nice smoky flavor, and they were seasoned well without being too salty. They paired perfectly with the icy beer. But the shrimp skewer was especially memorable. The shrimp had that perfect bouncy, juicy texture. It was grilled nicely, still tender, and full of natural sweetness. Some grilled shrimp can become dry or forgettable, but this one had personality. Small skewer, big impact. We also enjoyed several other izakaya-style dishes. The grilled shishito peppers with bonito flakes were simple but delicious, and they helped balance out the richer dishes. The grilled squid had a great smoky flavor and a chewy texture that went so well with beer. These are exactly the kinds of dishes that make izakaya dining so fun -- one bite, one sip, one more bite, and suddenly the table is full of happy people. The sashimi platter was fresh and beautifully served over ice. There was a nice variety, including tuna, salmon, white fish, scallop, and ikura. Everything looked clean and fresh, and the presentation made it feel even more enjoyable. But honestly, the toro was the star. I will probably remember that toro for a long time. My daughter ordered tonkatsu, and that was also a huge hit. Sometimes at restaurants like this, kids' dishes can feel like an afterthought, but this tonkatsu was really good. It was crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. Seeing my daughter enjoy her food made my birthday dinner even better. As a mom, when your child eats well and is happy, the whole meal suddenly feels more peaceful. That is just the truth. Overall, Hachi started with a little frustration because of the reservation issue and the small table, but the food and drinks completely saved the night. The icy-cold beer, the amazing tuna toro, the juicy shrimp skewer, and the tonkatsu were all memorable. The food was strong enough to make us forget the rough beginning, and by the end of the meal, we were all happy. Las Vegas has so many flashy restaurants, but Hachi has that casual, comfortable izakaya charm. It is the kind of place where you order many small dishes, share with the table, drink something cold, and let the night slowly become fun. I would definitely come back next time I am in Las Vegas. Next time, I already know what I am ordering first: an icy-cold beer and tuna toro. And honestly, I may order the toro twice from the beginning, because one order is definitely not enough.

    Shigotonin is a delightful discovery off the Vegas strip (but may as well be on the strip…read moreconsidering the taste and quality of food here) in a small plaza. Chef Shuji runs the restaurant with his wife next to him in the kitchen. The fish here is flown in from Japan and of the highest quality as you can see from the sheen and fat marbling. The tuna melts in your mouth and bite after bite is a wonderful experience as you pair it with soy sauce, fresh Wasabi, yuzu Wasabi, or some combination of the condiments provided. This is also the first sushi restaurant I have ever been to that automatically brings out fresh Wasabi without having to ask. The portions are generous and we left feeling very satisfied. Even though we were very full, we took a look at the dessert menu. Not pictured here is a sweet potato with ice cream and brown sugar glaze. This dish on the menu was unassuming but the taste was so decadent. Quite possibly the best and sweetest sweet potato I have ever tasted. The chef slowly roasts them over a 2 hour period, rotating the potatoes every so slightly every 15 minutes. The sweet potato could be a dessert by itself, it was that good! Chef Shuji is a charming and funny host. He regularly comes out to greet his customers and makes sure they are enjoying their meal, very high-touch. If you know Japanese - even if it's just a few phrases, speak with him as he will be delighted. He was absolutely tickled when we said arigato and he shared that he is originally from Kyoto. Cannot wait to return to Shigotonin!

    Yummm. A splurge, but worth it…read more Their sakura box was delicious, as was their uni pasta. Service is nice and thorough and the boss man came to check in and chat with us.

    **Overall: 4.75 Stars**…read more Imagine omakase but with a show. That's what you get here at Kyara Sake Bar. I went to Kyara on a date, but it wasn't the quiet or romantic kind of place I thought it'd be. Kyara had great service but they visit you every few minutes and explain things before each dish and they may cook something in front of you or show you the fish (like the actual real whole fish from the same catch you'd be eating)! When we were about to be served the wagyu beef dish, we were shown the certificate and our server explained all about the cow. I felt like I knew all about Bertha and joked that we just went through her photo album and yearbook. Like how was I supposed to eat Bertha now?!! Aiyahhhhh. Kyara may not be the romantic type of restaurant, but it was more memorable and more of an experience! It had may "wow" moments.

    If you're looking for a Omakase intimate setting, this place is it. We arrived at 830ish- no wait…read moreand were greeted and seated by a friendly young man. We had a choice for bar or table and we chose table. It was tucked in a corner so it felt intimate for me and husband. Menu was filled with some of our faves and some new things we never tried. Skewers were great esp the Wagyu- it was so good and tender. We enjoyed the agadashi tofu with was one of our faves here. Food was overall delicious and you can taste the freshness of the fish. We def want to come back and experience their dinner specials. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area
