    Swai!
    Lisa H.

    Morgan had come out here a couple months ago, and we were looking for something cozy to eat on a rainy day, so we popped over to Shabuya for hot pot! Such great value! The luch special was $25, and we had SO much food! The House broth and Sukiyaki broth are divine. Super flavorful. We opted for Swai, noodles, lots of veggies, and a couple of the meat options. Everything was delicious! The restaurant is clean, and I really appreciate how we both had our own pots and controls for heat. The tuna crunch handrails were amazing, and we liked the flavors of the karaage. One piece was slightly undercooked, which is the reason for the docked star. Service was polite and quick We will absolutely be coming back!

    We had a craving for something on the lighter fare after several days of heavy eating in Las Vegas and Shabu Shabu came to mind. We headed to China town around 8pm and there was no wait. We got seated right way. It's AYCE, which is not the main thing we were looking for as quality means more to us than quantity. It was nice to have everything in the menu for one price, including appetizers and rolls, though. There were five types of broth to choose from. I went with the original house broth and added Yuzu sauce to it. There were eight kinds of meat which were all very tasty. The difference here is that there is a veggie and condiment bar that you can choose from to customize your soup. The goodies you can add ranged from bok choy, spinach, mushrooms, raw eggs, tofu, shrimp, squid, several kinds of noodles (ramen, udon, vermicelli, egg) that can be used to enrich your soup. We will be adding this to our must visit list when in Vegas!

    I didn't get to go a couple weeks ago for chinese new year because the wait was too long for a family of 10. So I'm glad I got to try it recently with just my husband and I. We were doing some work across the way and there was only a 10 minute wait when we decided to join the waitlist. We're glad we didn't have to wait long at all on a Tuesday night. First of all, our waiter was amazing. He was super friendly and gave us all his recommendations. We were chatting with him in between while he continued to take care of everyone else, and he always had a bright and genuine smile. I forgot his name but I remember on our receipt he had a name on the longer side lol. Anyway, I mixed the tongkotsu and miso soup, and it was such a great idea.. sweet and a little creamy at the same time. The hot pot was always boiling, and the recommendations were all on point. I loved the Prime flat iron steak and wagyu sirloin tip the most. Sushi was delicious too. We got the baked Alaskan, Spicy tuna with krab and crunch flakes hand roll. Size of the place was great, super new and clean, plenty of space for smaller to large groups. I've been talking to everyone about this place, and can't wait to go back and try more.

    Went there with family. It was my first time doing Hot Pot and it wasn't really for me. To be fair, to each their own, and it would be unfair to give the business less than 5 stars. We were a large party. The employees did an amazing job of taking care of us. They were very attentive, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. For that it was our first time, they really took the time to help us through the process. From what I tasted. The food was all fresh, and depending on your palate, tasted good. If you like this kind of experience. I highly recommend this business.

    Tonkotsu broth, sushi
    Pammy N.

    Came here on Sunday during lunch. It was pretty empty, so we didn't have to wait at all. There were 6 of us. We ordered a little bit of everything cause this is ayce. We got a few sushi rolls & appetizers. These were not bad, 7/10. I got the Tonkotsu broth for hot pot. Honestly, I'd rate it like a 4-5/10. But this was my first time experiencing ayce hotpot so I'm not sure if this is the expected type of quality cause ayce is always not as good? Service was great though. But probably wouldnt come back.

    Shabuya combines two of my favorite things under one roof: sushi and hot pot. Is it gimmicky? Yes. Is it fun? Also yes. And the best part? It's unlimited. The interior is spacious, modern and clean. Everything is centered around the self-serve buffet in the middle and the bathrooms are spotless. The tall ceilings make for good ventilation and each seat has its own hot plate. Service and prices are typical, but expect to pay $30+ a person. The buffet is a self-serve medley of of vegetables, carbs, dumplings, and seafood. There is a station for making custom sauces. On the seafood front, they have a number of items that are worth getting including large (to peel) shrimp, oysters, crabs, mussels, and various kinds of pre-cut fish. Meat favorites include their prime flat iron steak, prime cross rib, beef, toro, premium ribeye, and Australian lamb. They also have chicken thigh as well as pork belly, and the tonkotsu/original house broth are my go-tos. There is also selection of appetizers (i.e. "izakaya") that include fish fillet tempura, takoyaki, chicken gyoza, spicy tuna crispy rice, potato croquette, and a series of fried chicken (karaage) that come in soy glaze and spicy (volcano). The carpaccio is limited to one per table, so I would recommend just ordering all of them. They include tuna, albacore, spicy albacore, seared garlic, tuna, and salmon. There is also a selection of specialty rolls, that are sure to please the Americanized palate. Think Philadelphia, California roll red dragon Alaskan roll, and even the sumo roll. During peak hours, the waits can be long. Do yourself a favor and sign up through Yelp Waitlist (Guest Manager) on the app and roll in when your table is ready. Come hungry and being in a group is always going to be way more fun.

    I love this place! We've gone to other ones but this one is the best the buffet of vegetables & seafood they have that you can add to your mini hot pot is the best! Service is fast & the bring all the apps quick! Ambiance is great clean def no complaints & we will continue going!

    It was our second night in Vegas, and after a full day of casino fun, everyone was craving something hot and comforting. We initially considered The Noodles at the Bellagio, but the estimated wait time was over two hours. Instead, we decided to head to Chinatown and found that Shabuya would satisfy everyone's cravings. At around 5:30pm, I placed a reservation just as we got into the car. To our surprise, we received a notification that our table was ready within just 2-3 minutes. Since we were about 10 minutes away, the timing worked out perfectly. When we arrived, we were seated right away and handed menus promptly. I immediately noticed the pricing was slightly cheaper here in Vegas compared to the Los Angeles Shabuya -- $28.99 versus $29.99. We had a party of four, two of whom had never been to Shabuya before, and they were pleasantly surprised by both the variety and the value. Each person gets to choose their own broth, plus access to a wide range of izakaya-style items and buffet selections. We chose the following broths: * 2× Tonkotsu * Spicy Miso * Original House We also added a Salmon Roll to share as an appetizer. For meats, we started with: Prime Cross Rib -- Great: Tender and flavorful, especially if you avoid overcooking it. Wagyu Sirloin Tip -- Excellent: Extremely tender and rich, requiring just a few quick dips in the broth. It melts in your mouth while still delivering a deep, beefy flavor. Prime Flat Iron Steak -- Good: Nicely tender with a solid texture, perfect for those who like a slightly firmer bite. Australian Lamb -- Good: Tender with a mild flavor; the lamb aroma wasn't overpowering, making it enjoyable even for those sensitive to lamb's natural scent. We enjoyed these cuts so much that we ended up reordering the same meats. For seafood, noodles, tofu, and vegetables, we helped ourselves to the buffet station, which offered plenty of fresh options. My favorite dipping sauce combination was a generous mix of mashed radish, green onions, and cilantro topped with ponzu -- bright, refreshing, and perfect with the rich meats. Service throughout the meal was excellent: attentive, quick, and friendly. Overall, Shabuya delivered a satisfying and cozy dinner experience. We'll definitely be returning on future Vegas trips.

    We love this place! Best hot pot in town for sure! We've tried several other hot pots but we always come back to this one. I always get tonkatsu for my broth and add garlic, cilantro, green onion, and a bit of spice. Always comes out perfect! It's a buffet selection so you're able to pick whatever you want in your broth at your own pace. Since it is a buffet, it can get a little messy sometimes. Staff is not quick enough to wipe it down to make it look nice and clean. One ridiculous thing is their last call. It's never consistent. On the weekend they close at 11pm, but last call is 10:15pm when it used to be 10:30pm. Why even say you're open till 11pm?

    The food and service was amazing! I loved the soup broth, meat, and hand rolls that we got! It was a clean environment and a good ambiance! Our server Kevin (Tamago) was a really good server!

    Emily N.

    My goodness is the food delicious here. Lots of meat, broth and veggies to choose from. It's well priced as well for all you can eat. Service was great and the waiter and host were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and well kept too. There's lots of parking as it's in a strip mall. I would definitely get on the waiting list if you want to do dinner cause it was pretty busy when we dined in for a lunch on a random Thursday.

    I always come to Shabuya when I'm in town. However, it was a disappointment coming back. We came around 5pm to avoid the crowd. We got seated immediately. Our server was not attentive. When we wanted to order more food, we had to chase her down or ask another server to tell her to come. We didn't give her the tips that she deserved and she gave us an attitude. For that reason, I won't come back again when I'm in town again. There are other choices out there. Food was still decent, still many options at the buffet bar. The bar was clean. However, the broth was very bland and meat was way too thin.

    Kevin D.

    Shabuya is a pretty cool place to throw down some hot pot! We had zero problems with service as it was excellent, great self serve island so that you can get as many sauces, noodles, veggies as you want, and very clean as well. Don't remember what this place was before , but the booths are nice, the bar is inviting, and the restrooms are fine. What did we love? How about $58 for both of us to eat enough food to induce a meat coma. Also alcohol is buy 1 get 1 free. Lots of competitions in this space, but the meat was good and kept on coming so I can't knock this place that's half the price of another down the street.

I've been to Japan many times, and whenever I can, I always reserve a private room. At Ichiza, you don't even need a reservation to get one, which was such a nice surprise. The restaurant's decor, from the walls to the overall atmosphere, feels like an authentic Japanese izakaya. I honestly felt like I was back in Japan! I really wish we had something like this in the Bay Area. The service was excellent. There's a call button at each table if you need anything, so you never feel like you're waiting too long. Even without pressing it, the staff checked on us often and were very attentive. We ordered so many dishes, and everything was amazing! The yakitori meatballs were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The ume shiso yellowtail tempura was one of my favorites--the combination of the plum and shiso made it so refreshing. The Okinawa soda was my favorite drink of the night. We also ordered the hamachi jalapeño, which was delicious. The vinegar sauce was perfectly balanced. The ika mentaiko tempura was excellent too, and the squid was so tender. Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. There were so many dishes that I can't even list them all! We'll definitely be back. Every time we visit Las Vegas, Ichiza will be one of the first places on our list! P.S. Their restrooms were also very clean, which I always appreciate!

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.

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 went here for dinner with a buddy of mine recently and wanted to write a review because I've been…read morehere like four times this year. 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.

    I visited Hachi in Las Vegas with my family for my birthday celebration, and this dinner definitely…read moreturned into a night to remember. 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!

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.

We def want to come back and experience their dinner specials. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area
