    Even though it's summer and our days are in the 90s, or above, it was time for some hot soup for dinner. I checked Yelp and I decided to place a take out order with Sakura which isn't too far away. I got there early, so I had a seat on a bench and waited for the meal to be put together. In a short time, I was brought the bag and reminded that the noodles were at the top of the broth. When I got home, I took the noodles in their plastic holder out and I poured the spicy broth into a bowl and heated it for a minute in the microwave. I then added the noodles and stirred them around. The noodles were good and the spicy broth was just what I wanted. It could have been spicier, but it was OK the way it was. I stopped eating the ramen to enjoy the avocado with eel in nori. They were little Japanese tacos. A good choice for dinner even though it's a bit pricey.

    My husband and I chose Sakura for a weekend date night. Upon entry we were immediately warmly greeted by staff. The restaurant isn't very large-- maybe 7 to 10 tables to serve 20 to 30 people at any given point. We were on the earlier side of dinner, so we were one of only 2 or 3 parties dining in. My husband ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu which he said was good but just wasn't as spicy as he would have hoped for. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen without mushroom. I found it to be good ramen. For dessert we decided on the Double Berry Japanese Shaved Ice after seeing another table order it. While there weren't many diners eating in during our dinner, there appeared to be a steady stream of takeout orders. While the shop is small, the staff were friendly and food came out quickly. Staff were attentive without hovering. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Sakura.

    Hi! I'm back again for the 84836227827 time haha! My boyfriend and I tried some new things on the menu and they were outstanding. Pics down below. We finally met the other chef officially her name is Fu and she is a sweetheart! Of course Maria like always is great and takes care of everyone. What I love most about this place besides the food is amazing the people who work here actually care about taste, presentation, and their own artwork. Ugh just love this place!

    Probably one of the best off-Strip ramen spots in town. Although, with my go-to add-ons I.e., corn and extra egg, it comes to +/-$26. Pretty steep for a bowl of ramen, but quality comes with a price I suppose. I've dined here once and have gotten an order for pick-up also once. Just a heads up: This place gets b u s y.

    If you are a ramen enthusiast, Sakura Ramen is an absolute Las Vegas gem that you have to visit! Ramen Master Hideto Kawahara has brought his incredible craft to this new location, and you can even read his inspiring story right there on the wall. My family and I used to frequent his Kashiwa location in Costa Mesa once or even twice a week with Hiro, and I am so happy to say that the same perfection we fell in love with there is exactly what you get at Sakura Ramen. Everything we had was spot on--the Sakura Ramen was phenomenal, the karaage was perfectly crispy, and it all washed down perfectly with a cold draft Sapporo. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and great to strike up a conversation with, making the whole experience even better. This is officially my new must-stop ramen spot every time I'm in town. Do yourself a favor and stop by to try it for yourself!

    Ordered the Sakura ramen and charsu bowl. Ramen had no toppings , one piece of pork and hard noodles. Cup of noodles would have been better. Also very very salty. The pork bowl also was very salty and the egg didn't look fresh. Chile oil spilled all over. It was not packed properly.

    Best ramen broth I've ever had this was the first time I've finished a whole bowl Of ramen broth. It had a light and savory flavour , not too rich. The beef was good, I could have preferred a softer texture. Perhaps not the best restaurant for vegetarians looking to get some protein intake as they do not serve Tofu. I also don't see indicators for gluten free food so you will Need to check with the chef if they have gluten free items. This is a small restaurant but it wasn't too busy when we got there. Get on the waitlist so you know how long you have to wait. We didn't have to wait too long only A few minutes.

    We came here after finding out our usual spot was closed permanently. Sakura ramen has a good variety of ramen, bowls, apps and dessert. We had Maria as our server, the service provided was impeccable, enjoyed the small conversations. We both ordered the Sakura Ramen and spicy garlic edamame, seasoning of the garlic edamame was on point. Ramen was delicious. The restroom is single stall unisex since the store itself is pretty small itself. The best part..the to-go bowls they have separate the noodles and the broth. To me..this was really cool. Definitely recommend this place to you reading this.

    Food: this ramen just did the job. I ordered the hakata ramen with egg and corn at $2 extra. I also ordered extra noodles cuz I am a bit hungry. Service: it's a sit down place so you just take a table and they have like 6 ramens to choose from. Some California hand rolls. Some side dishes as well. Ambiance: first thing is the music, I think it's either jPOP or anime sound tracks from all over. I definitely heard one of the openings for Naruto. Just a quick bite to eat before doing my evening errands.

    Recently we gave Sakura Ramen another try and things have changed for the better! I love their Miso Tonkotsu ramen. It has that rich, flavorful, hearty broth with egg noodles, which is my kind of ramen! Not sure if this is permanent since they have a sign/picture of it on the wall, but it's not on the actual menu. I really hope they serve it year round, because this is the one big reason for me to come here! On our last visit, we tried the Matcha and Red Bean Shaved Ice for the first time. Very interesting that they import the ice from Japan. When they brought it to our table, it was tall and looked like a very big serving. We were worried that we wouldn't be able to finish it, but the ice was finely shaved and it was really really good! Light, not too sweet and perfect for sharing. Customer service is friendly, but sometimes they forget to refill the waters. Please don't ever take away the Miso Tonkotsu ramen!

    We came here on a Monday at about 245p. It's a small and cozy authentic ramen shop with a chef direct from Japan. The shoyu bowl was delicious! The Sakura broth was so good. We got to start off with a curry bowl and chashu bowl and we ate those as appetizers until our ramen arrived Everything was great!

    Delicious food and authentic vibes! We've tried Sakura Ramen twice and had great experiences both times. They have rich broth that is flavorful without being too oily (which is often my gripe with other ramen spots) and the noodles have great texture. Sakura Ramen also offer a ramen set special every day from 12pm-5pm that comes with a half chashu bowl, half curry rice, gyoza, or karaage. We've had the chashu bowl and curry rice and they were full of flavor! I was very impressed with the presentation too. The food comes out quickly and all the servers we met were very kind and happy to answer questions. I definitely recommend and plan to be back!

    I've been here a few times and this last visit I ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen but with thicker noodle. To be honest there's no difference in the size of the noodles. I thought it would be al dente but it was too soft for my liking. The broth was yummy. Now the karage was delicious. So tender and I order the 2 piece which was perfect. I also asked for a glass of red wine which the server said they didn't have any so I OPT for the plum wine. Strange but the worker put ice in my wine. I've never had it served that way as it's usually chilled. Still good. Overall, service was good and personable.

    As long time fans of the original Ichiza, I felt it was time to revisit Ichiza 2 Hanare since my…read moreoriginal visit was so long ago. (The original Ichiza is celebrating its 25th anniversary currently with a few specials!) They consider their establishment to have a "private dining room" esthetic and this is very much so. All rooms are partitioned off, so you definitely feel it's more private. They also have hangers for your coats, which just reminds of izakayas in Japan. The Husband and I enjoyed these items: * Negi Hama Handroll $6.50/each * Salmon Skin Handroll $3.95/each * Ponzu Marinated Mackerel $7.50 * Garlic Chicken Gizzard $10.25 * Cold Tofu $3.95 Add Crunchy Chili Oil $1.50 * Squid Somen with Mentaiko $3.95 * Homemade Simmered Pork Belly $3.95 * Salmon Skin Chazuke $9.50 * Hamachi Tempura with Ume Shiso $9.25 * Brown Sugar Pudding $6.50 We enjoyed everything as usual, and everything came out in a timely manner. Despite it being an izakaya, we don't normally enjoy any alcohol. But their drink menu sounded really interesting and we may need to revisit it on our next visit. We were wondering why we haven't been back here before since we really enjoyed our meal. The only thing was that we missed the daily specials board that was located by the front, and only saw it on the way out. We definitely would have added a few more items to our dinner if we had seen it earlier. Despite there being a service bell to press when we needed assistance, the waitress came by often to check on us. They also offer a loyalty rewards program. We would have earned so much if they offered this 15 years ago! Since we just signed up, we got a free dessert. Overall, we are loving Ichiza 2 Hanare and will be back!

I knew I had to go back. Fast forward to today, I was excited to bring my family to this hidden gem not far from home. We ordered the omakase and what an experience. The moment our plates were empty, the server and chef seamless filled our table with new fresh cuts of fish. AND THE FISH WAS CRAAAAAAZZZZYYYYYY. hands down the freshest uni I've tried here in Vegas. Not only was the food 1000/10, I forgot to ask for the servers name but it was Quinn on the receipt so we're going with that. Quinn was a one man army. He was flying around the fully sat diner serving tables, bussing, taking phone orders and bringing such a calming atmosphere. I would highly highly highly recommend making the stop if you're in the area.

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.

    One of the best sushi experiences I've had outside of Japan. The interior is simple and clean, but…read morenothing to write home about. The service was amazing and was helpful in figuring out what we should order. The Sakura box was a highlight for me although it was very expensive. The sweet shrimp is something I haven't tried before but it was delicious and marinated perfectly. The grilled unagi roll wasn't that special for me but it was still good. The sashimi here was excellent and were generously cut portions. Definitely get the Sashimi platter if you are into sashimi. We also ordered the uni pasta, although not pictured, and found it to be tasty but I wouldn't order it again. It is worth trying at least once since it's unique. The sashimi (Hamachi) is also amazing and is the best yellowtail I've had at a US restaurant.

    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!
