    Pineapple sake
    LC M.

    Walked in without reservations on a Wednesday at 6:30pm and was seated immediately, we chose to sit at the bar. Best thing we ate was the fresh catch of the day sashimi platter of 18 pieces. Asked for a side of fresh wasabi and topped each piece with it...yum! This pairing went well with the bottle of pineapple sake. Uni pasta was creamy with lots of uni pieces mixed in. Yakitori skewers we ordered: beef tounge which was tough, but the rest were flavorful: chicken heart was, Hokkaido scallops, pork belly. Staff were friendly, service was great, surely would come for their happy hour next time.

    Izakaya Go is a gem for late night bites. It is one of my favorite places to go after 10 pm because of their late night happy hour. The late night happy hour tapas are a great value & the beer and sake hits the spot after a busy night at work. The ambiance is cozy & intimate with Hawaiian reggae music setting the perfect mood. Service is consistently friendly & they are very attentive. It does get busy after 10 though, so be sure to sign in as soon as you get there! My husband & I always order a bunch of different items & everything we've had so far has been really good. The fish in the handrolls are fresh & everything else is made to order. We always sit at the bar if seats are available, but if not, then we sit at a table. The downside: it is really small, the tables are very close to each other, so at times it may feel like you are sitting at the same table as your neighbors & you can't help but hear their conversations. The booths & bar offer more space & are great if you are lucky to get one. If you get a late night craving of Japanese food, I suggest you giving this place a try. Kanpai!

    i used to come here weekly in college. i hadn't been back in a few years, but i'm so happy that this izakaya is still consistent in terms of food, vibes, and service. we brought my cousins from out of town here this past week and our party of four didn't have a reservation on a monday night, but were lucky and seated right away. i would def recommend making a reservation in advance if possible though because it gets busy, even into the late night since it's a nice spot to catch up over tapas and drinks. favorite orders: * bluefin kamikaze roll * chutoro roll * blue crab fried rice * salmon ikura bowl prices are fair for the quality. everyone i bring here loves the ambiance and how authentic the food is. it has a nice balance of cooked and raw options.

    The atmosphere felt so authentically Japanese that I almost forgot I was in the US and thought I was back in Japan. I was so happy to finally have Japanese food after such a long time, and it was delicious! The staff was incredibly sweet and friendly, and they were so kind to my 3years old son, too. I want to come back soon!

    Sashimi

    Sashimi special seemed too good in price to be true and it definitely was. Very thin pieces of fish that left me hungry. Prob won't be back.

    The food came out quickly. The hand rolls tasted fresh and I enjoyed them. We ordered some skewers, the mini beef bowl, pork katsu curry and the teriyaki beef. Overall the food runs on the saltier side, I don't know if we will be back. If you did go, the handrolls and skewers are a good choice but just know everything else will be salty.

    Stopped by during happy hour before my showing of The Odyssey at the Palms. Happy hour menu is diverse with many optionsm. Instantly sold on the Kirin draft for less than $5. My favorite Japanese beer, on draft- heaven. It's the little things. Also ordered the fancy tuna cut roll (very good), half ramen- shio (yummy), eel & chicken skin skewers (so yummy), seasoned cabbage (I miss my veggies), salmon handroll (exactly as it sounds), shumai (not a fan at all, and I usually love shumai), and corn (had a weird taste). Definitely would come back. Sat at the bar and it was great.

    I love Izakaya Go. When I miss Japanese Izakaya foods, I always come here. Foods are always good. It's fresh and good quality. It is always busy. It is available noisily level. If you want to sit down to the table, you better to make a reservation. I enjoyed some foods from the happy hour menu and the regular menu. The servers were friendly and nice. It is a small restaurant but I like that. The tiny space makes me feel like I am in Japan.

    Rainbow Roll, Edamame, Chicken Skin Skewer

    We decided to have dinner at Izakaya Go and stay for some happy hour drinks. We walked in and only waited about 15 minutes for a table. We ordered sake, a pitcher of beer, a few appetizers, and a couple of sushi rolls. Everything had great flavor, and the chutoro sashimi was especially good. Our waiter was really cool and helpful. The inside has a nice Japanese themed atmosphere with a lot of character and detail.

    Came here last night with some girlfriends (my first time) and had an awesome experience. The seating is limited so I suggest making a reservation or going during off hours (however happy hour starts at 10p). Staff were amazing. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Everything we ate tasted was great! We ordered so much food.. My favorites: blue fin sashimi, uni pasta, fried tentacles, and chicken skin skewers. Yuzu mule was such a refreshing cocktail to wash everything down. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

    First time here we just showed up no reservations and got seated right away. Pretty cool spot and the foods were good. It's a very small seating capacity so if your with a group plan ahead and call them. The staff were attentive and efficient. Foods - pork belly, beef bento plate and sushi. Parking- ho all the way to the end facing their entrance they have plenty of space.

    Off-strip, although their parking lot has a beautiful view of said strip, Izakaya Go is still worth a trip imo. You'll get plenty of options for tasty treats at prices slightly better than you'll see on the strip itself. Quality is in line if not better as well. We grabbed a reservation and at first figured we probably didn't need it, however, this place filled in fast. Get yourself a variety of skewers to start then roll into a main dish. For skewers, the scallops are my top recommendation, however, the lamp chop was tasty as well. I went with the beef meal dish. It came with a bunch of little plates, a salad, and soup. Nothing included was overwhelmingly good but nothing significantly missed its mark either. No worries if you under order as you can always get a few additions as you enjoy.

    Spicy Yellow tail roll
    Meileh B.

    Looking for fair priced, tasty sushi spot and this one served its purpose. The kamikaze roll was amazing. And the spider roll was tasty too. Along with the yellow tail sushi. The crunchy roll and spicy yellow tail roll were as expected. would definitely come back.

    I'm not sure...

    Are kids allowed?

    Yes definitely

    Do they still have happy hour?

    They do! We arrived shortly before happy hour last week & ordered a few things from that additional menu.

    I see vegetarian offerings. Is there vegan?

    There's a Vegetarian Menu posted, so you can check for which ones may be vegan. I would still ask before ordering though.

    Do you have the full menu or just the bento box?

    We picked up food a few weeks ago. They have a few other specials besides the different bento boxes. My parents loved the salmon bento and the pork bento boxes. Said each one was enough for 2 meals.

    They have internal organs are only Heart, Liver, Gizzard.

    Do i need to make a reservation for Saturday night dinner?

    You might get lucky without one but it will be busy so it's best to make a reservation to prevent waiting for a table. It's a cozy place with delicious food, worth the reservation or the wait ;)

I also knew chef Takeshi, from a previous sushi restaurant that he was operating, where the wife and I were regulars... Anyway, I went and had my sights on their Unagi bowl, and a nice house salad, with the traditional Japanese soy n ginger sesame dressing. The house salad was a full blown assortment of greens, and cherry tomatoes, good for 3 people. I was thoroughly satisfied with the quality and volume, for $5. My Unagi bowl followed and was a huge portion that I took half of it home for dinner. The quality of the unagi was excellent , and was nicely charred to perfection. I actually came back the following evening and ordered 2 more orders of Unagi, for my wife to try it as well. Chef Takeshi is a wine connoisseur, and he remembered the days when I use to bring my personal favorite Reds, to share with him over dinner.

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.

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!
