| - Where have you been all my life, Ichiza?
Sushi, Ramen, and anything else Japanese? In one little space?
I was intimidated by the wait at first, but what started as an hour wait ended up being only 25 minutes when several other parties cancelled. And thankfully, this appears to happen A LOT. But just remember, while it's not required, reservations do come highly suggested.
As a party of four, we all went in on the menu! One friend got sushi, another got mackerel, I got Japanese-style chow mein and gyoza and the fourth friend got something that begins with "oppa" (not sure how it's spelled). It's all perfect for sharing. I liked everything except the mackerel (and I don't like mackerel in the first place so the restaurant is at no fault for that).
Everything on the menu is really cheap by itself, but be mindful that everything does add up really quickly. We were quite surprised by our bill at the end of the meal.
Oh and did I mention I loved the ambiance? Between the low tables, the backless chairs, the small space with warehouse lighting, the large crowds and the Japanese written all over the walls, I really did feel like I had just been transported to Tokyo, and not just an Asian-themed strip mall in Las Vegas.
Pros:
The ambiance
Menu has loads of variety and very reasonable prices
Frequent and friendly service who won't get annoyed if you add more and more to your plate
Cons:
Small space leading to (possible) long waiting times to be seated and served
While each individual item is inexpensive, it can all add up really quickly if you're not paying attention
Return Factor: I'd love to
