    Had a wonderful experience here! Service was great, place was clean, food portion was solid and really yummy. Everything looked so good - I wish there was an option to just order extra katsu (don't think I saw it?). Would come here again!

    Mortar and Pestel
    Kent C.

    Walked in, not very busy, was told to self seat. First time here, we ordered, was given a small mortar and Pestel for the sesame seeds to grind and make the katsu sauce. Our server was Mario, he just left the mortar and pestle and walked off, no instructions, no questions if it was our first time. Service was good, he checked on us. Music was a little loud, but we also sat ourselves directly under the speakers, our fault. They are understaffed and have a sign for employment hanging at the door. The food was decent, normal katsu, the breading was fluffy, liked it. The curry udon was okay. Restrooms were clean.

    Soooo incredibly delicious--from the miso soup to the cabbage salad to the katsu itself! I devoured every last bit they served me on that tray. We got the Pork Hire Katsu set and the katsu was just tender, juicy and so unctuous with a crunchy panko breading. The sauce was a bit tangier than I'm used to, but still went well with the dish. I also loved that the rice was not dry--some places just serve you rice that's gone hard and cold, and it's not very enjoyable. One of the most notable things was that they also give you a suribachi and surikogi (Japanese mortar and pestle) to grind up your own roasted sesame seeds for the katsu sauce. We've gone to several katsu places and it's been a while since we've gone to one where they offer this. I think it completes the whole katsu experience! The interior was very aesthetically Japanese and so welcoming. It also seemed like there was only one server the whole time we ate there, but he was very attentive, friendly and quick. Overall, this place certainly jumped to the top of my favorite katsu spots and will be a go-to for us whenever we visit Vegas!

    My husband was craving for some JAPANESE CURRY so we went on YELP and found several Japanese curry places. We picked this one because it was the closest location to us and it had pretty good ratings... ONE MAN SHOW: Service was great! We asked for cheese and they gave us melted mozzarella to put in our curry. We're use to curry house style curry in LA. They would have melted cheese or Parmesan on the curry with a side of red radishes!! CURRY: 8/10 It was Good and it will satisfy your katsu curry craving! It's hard to find good curry so this place hits the spot. Also, it wasn't crowded and you can find parking easily... FRIED OYSTERS: 10/10 I really enjoyed the fried oysters because it tasted fresh and tender. The panko breading had just the right amount of crispiness and the oysters were not chewy... HURRY HURRY to TORA KATSU & CURRY!!!!!!

    I want to start by saying the food was a 5/5, honestly even a 6/5. I really enjoyed the meal, a LOT. The wait and lack of service held the whole experience back. I'm no stranger to the minimal service style you see at some Chinese spots, and I actually don't mind it. But I waited over 45 minutes for my meal. My drink was empty for a while and stayed empty, and I couldn't flag anyone down since the only staff member seemed to be in the kitchen or behind the counter most of the time. It was a busy Sunday lunch, so I'm guessing they were either short staffed or she was juggling multiple roles, not sure. I ordered the Pork Hire with Soba noodles, and it was excellent. The soba and dipping sauce were a highlight, and the katsu was lightly fried to perfection. Everything came together really well. The food alone makes me want to give this place 5 stars, and I'd definitely come back to give it another shot. Just be prepared for a wait, if you've got around 45 minutes it's worth it, I think lol. I just didn't expect that kind of delay, especially being a party of one with only about 5 to 6 other tables occupied. Just a heads up if youre planning to bring a large party with no patience.

    Food is amazing and you can tell they take pride by the way it is cooked and presented. Ther service is great and the ambiance is pure relaxation. The restaurant is beautifully designed and feels like being bin Japan. I recommend this place to everyone out there.

    We were in Chinatown again (go figure) and were going to have lunch and go grocery shopping. The original plan was to go for an AYCE sushi meal, but changed our mind since we just didn't want to eat that much. So we went to Tora, we hadn't been here for ages and since they have several of my favorite dishes, we figured why not... Ashley was our server and was running the register as well. Seating was quick, lively music vibe, perfect for lunch. We ordered takoyaki (IYKYN what these are) as an app. Some of the best I've had . My meal was the "hire" katsu teishoku (teishoku means set or complete meal) with cold water noodles . The "hire" katsu was more robust and a bit fattier than the plain katsu. The meal comes with a shredded cabbage salad, a small piece of tofu wit sauce . Another feature that lends to the authenticity is the little grinder bowl with sesame seeds and the muddler. You pulverize your sesame and then they bring a pitcher of tonkatsu sauce to add. My pork was fatty delicious the panko was light and crispy, the cold water noodles (a must have in summer time in Japan was great, good size serving on a plastic fake bamboo style made with a few ic cubes and a small bowl of soy to dip.... So cooling. I also ordered a side of curry to dip my katsu in. My dining companion had the tempura style shrimp teishoku ... with a side of rice and udon soup. The shrimp (5) were huge and totally crispy. We were stuffed when it was time to leave. By the way they serve alcohol, but we didn't partake. I imagine this place is pretty lively in the evening.. Didn't ask for a military discount. Tab was $ 103. 00 including 20% tip. Well worth it!

    Still one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in Vegas. Serving katsu. Their katsu is breaded and Seasoned perfectly. Can't go wrong with any kind of protein. Served with unlimited cabbage salad. Can get a combo meal with soba or udon as well. Love the soba with dipping sauce. Service is always attentive.

    Ambiance of this place was good! Bright and spacious! The hostess who greeted us also took our order. Very good service! She was attentive though she looked like the only one there. We came here because I was craving katsu. We placed our order and it came out right away. I really wanted to love the place but the katsu seemed a little too greasy. My mouth felt a little more oilier than I expected. The flavor was there but there was something missing that I couldn't pin down. I'd come back in a pinch to satisfy the katsu craving. The service after all was good and I did like the atmosphere.

    Hire katsu combo
    Scott T.

    This is not my first time here, but this is my first time writing a review for this place. We were greeted right away hostess was really friendly. When we got there, it wasn't too busy so we were served really quickly. I always order Gyoza when I go here, it's always hot and crispy. This time we ordered the cheese Katsu and also the Tori Katsu. I got my Tori Katsu with the cold soba noodles. Katsu was really crispy super juicy, and the cold soba noodles was an excellent side choice. The food here is always consistent. Rice is cooked perfectly and I love the miso soup. Food comes out fast and cooked very well. I think their portions here are perfect. The shredded lettuce on the side with the dressing is very tasty. Do they have a lot of choices as far as drinks are concerned they even said they even have some Hawaiian sun juice there. I love coming here for my katsu fix and I will definitely be back for more. Give this place a try and happy eating.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon! The parking outside was easy to find. The food was really tasty and the katsu was very crispy. The main reason I'm giving a four star is that the service was slow when I came in it seemed like only one worker. The food is very delicious and inside vibe was very Japanese looking!

    Chicken Katsu
    Linh N.

    We came here the first time with no expectation of what this place could be, but it surprisingly so yummy. Order does take a bit to come out but It tasted very clean and fresh. You can tell the tempura is made to order. We've gone here multiple times now and the food and service have been very consistent.

    Chicken Katsu Curry
    Suzie F.

    Small air conditioned and clean establishment. The waitress was friendly and courteous. We ordered the chicken katsu curry and tonkatsu curry. Both were delicious. Although both were breaded and deep fried, I thought the chicken katsu was flakier than the tonkatsu. It was lightly breaded, not thick and heavy, crispy. The curry was tasty, not spicy. The chicken katsu was cooked well, no skin, soft and juicy not dry. I got the Hire Katsu (pork tenderloin) vs the Rosu katsu (pork loin). The Hire Katsu is leaner and melt-in-your mouth tenderness. The Rosu katsu is fattier and juicier. Both came with Fukujinzuke which is a pickled daikon (turnip)...sweet, slight tang and crunchy. It was tasted good with the curry. I think it goes well with curry if you like this type of vegetable.

    Last time we came here, we were too late to be able to dine in because of how long the line was and…read morewe would not have had the time because we had to check out of our hotel. This visit I made sure we'd get in, so I came early enough to be the first person in line. Well worth the wait especially since they limit the amount of Wagyu servings to 10 per day. Since I was first in line I definitely got one of the ten servings and because of the price, my wallet could only handle one order. We also ordered the original Negitoro bowl with Uni and crab, but on the side due to my crab allergy. Because they specialize in tempura, we got their vegetable tempura plate to add a variety of flavors. Needless to say the Negitoro was delicious, but the dish that makes my coming early worth the wait, is the Wagyu tempura bowl. Real A5 wagyu beef perfectly tempura fried was Melt in your Mouth tender and still a medium rare doneness. My next visit, I'm ordering a Wagyu bowl all to myself. Service is always Japanese friendly and efficient system. While the line is still long outside, they come out and take your order and determine if you prefer to dine in or just get Onigiri for take away. Maybe because of the early turnout and it's a weekend, they were not allowing any of the tempura options to go. Now I feel I'm an expert having the knowledge of the perfect time to fall in line and what are the must try orders.

    Chamon is a shop specializing in tempura (seafood and wagyu) bowls, negitoro (raw tuna and seafood)…read morebowls + huge variety of onigiris (rice balls) for grab-n-go! The Wagyu tempura bowl (5/5)-- The meat was unctuous and melty, while still having a slight tender chew and somehow without an oily mouthfeel. Something about the tempura on the outside worked magic. The wagyu comes on a bed of fried sweet onions, a tempura egg, shiso, and nori crisp + rice. The tempura sauce was seasoned nicely, just sweet enough. A little salty for me but MT enjoyed it and was basically drinking it with the rice! I'm not a huge meat fan, but this bowl was so great that I'd probably contemplate on ordering this one for myself next time. :) They have a limited servings available for lunch and then another amount reserved for dinner. Onigiri (4.5/5)-- we tried 3 (the shiokoji salmon, spam truffle egg, saba gari). The onigiri were very popular. By late afternoon, they were sold out of all but one variety of onigiri! The shop is homey and tiny-- 3-4 tables for 4 people inside + 4 bar seats where you can watch the chef and kitchen team in action. The bronze/metal splash screen was really nice to prevent the heat and splatters reach diners. Chamon just celebrated its 2 years and they're going strong (just announced plans for a 2nd location!). No reservations here, but once you're on the waitlist, they'll text you a 10 minute heads up when the table is ready. If you're missing Japan or want to try something special, swing by for some onigiri and hot fresh tempura bowls!

    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.

They offer all-you-can-eat for around $35, which honestly seems like a great deal if you can put down some sushi , but we knew we wouldn't eat enough to make it worth it, so we opted to order à la carte instead. We started with the pork belly, which was actually the only thing we didn't care for, so we ended up sending that back. Everything after that, though, was SO good. The garlic spicy salted edamame was delicious and such a good way to start. We also tried several of their all-day specials--the yellowtail carpaccio, crunchy onion albacore, and seared bluefin tuna--and all three were delicious. Normally the specials are limited to one per person with AYCE, but since we were ordering à la carte, we could order however many we wanted. For rolls, I got the A Little Tease Roll and really enjoyed it. My husband got the Call 911 roll, and judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say he loved his too . My son kept it simple with a California roll and a cup of rice, which worked perfectly for him. We also shared a lychee nigiri, one of my favorites, and it was super yummy. The ambiance is probably one of my favorite things about this place. It's really fun and feels like somewhere you could come for a date night, but it's still completely comfortable for families. It would also be a great spot to come with a group. The surrounding area looks a little sketchy, so don't let that throw you off. Once you walk inside, it seriously feels like you've been transported somewhere completely different. The restaurant itself is really nice and has such a fun vibe. Definitely recommend checking this place out and trying some of their different sushi rolls and specials. Everything we had (minus the pork belly ) was BOMB. Next time we're in Vegas, we'll absolutely come back and try some more!
