    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.

    when you walk in the environment is so cozy and beautiful! We were provided with amazing customer service and patience, the chicken katsu bento's are highly recommended.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Kevin G.

    5/5 food and flavor and taste - the Katsu is one of the lightest and most clean tasting katsus I've ever had - soba is excellent as well - presentation and portion are perfect - curry and cheese katsu tastes fresh - the interior does not match the taste of the food - that's my only gripe with the place, it looks like some mid level taco shop, but the food is like a 5 star Japanese place Awesome place

As of right now, they have the same line for to go and dine in. It was very busy for Friday lunch so it would've been beneficial to add a third worker for just to go orders to help keep the line moving. There's very limited space inside so it makes sense that they want to keep as much space as possible inside but their ordering process doesn't logistically make sense to me. Overall, their onigiri is pretty good but just be prepared to wait if you decide to go.

    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.

    The best Ayce sushi place in Vegas!…read more If you're tired of the boring buffets on the strip, I highly recommend to visitors to check out this restaurant off the strip in Chinatown. Food (4.5/5) I strongly recommend to order the nigiri and stay away from the rolls if you want to get your moneys worth. The nigiri selection is pretty huge with multiple unique cuts of fish that other Ayce sushi places usually don't include (surf clam, ono, yellowtail toro, uni). Although some of the premium items you're only allowed to order once, it was pretty satisfying to be able to even try it as most ayce sushi places don't even include these items. The nigiri is on the smaller side (maybe 1/2 the size of regular size nigiri) but I appreciate how they didn't include a ton of sushi rice with each piece. It seemed like this restaurant wanted you to get your moneys worth and not have you fill up on rice! Highlight items are definitely everything on the special nigiri order menu selection, eel nigiri, and seared salmon. The regular tuna nigiri was just alright and my group did not like the ikura as it was a little off tasting. They also include free ice cream at the end and the affogado was pretty good! Service (4.75/5) The service was pretty good for such a small and packed place. We went right at opening and it was completely full with a long wait outside on a Sunday afternoon. The best part of this place is that there is NO item ordering restriction so essentially you could order 100+ nigiri for a single round of ordering. Most ayce sushi places I've eaten at have very shady rules that try to screw you over so you can't order a lot, but this place took the opposite approach so I can see why it's always busy! The staff was very quick at bringing out the food and having you order again. There is a 90 minute time limit to eat so start ordering right away. Ambience (4.5/5) This restaurant is located in a strip mall plaza in Chinatown and the parking was limited, but once inside this restaurant was pretty cute with the decorations. It felt clean and had a nice cool A/C going inside. Value (5/5) 20$ lunch until 4pm on Monday-Thursday and 35$ all other times. The best value AYCE I've had and better than anything I've paid for in California. Overall (4.68/5) I would definitely return to Vegas just to eat here again and I thought the food quality was better than any Bacchanal or Wynn Buffet on the strip.
