| - New Japanese place closer to Summerlin....yay! Our go to izakaya is usually Kyara but this place definitely comes close with quality food for a reasonable price. Legit takoyaki is usually a benchmark for the rest of the food for us. The takoyaki was crisp on the outside and the octopus was cooked perfectly inside. I hate soggy takoyaki. Our 2 year old devoured two of these on her own and we ended up adding another order. The takoyaki is also a generous size and comparable to the quality at Kyara, Jinya, and Monzo. I was a little skeptical about the ramen, someone compared it to Monta.... While not exactly Monta quality, it was really good given this place is not noted to be a ramen spot. The chashu was tender and flavorful, as well as the broth. We also tried the chicken gizzard, chicken skin, ribeye, kurobuta sausage, and pork belly yakitori. The skewers were decent but not the best in town...but I also said this about Kyara when they first opened, so always room to improve. The skewers were a tad too oily and the chicken skin was still chewy and not crispy. The gizzard was done well and you can never go wrong with kurobuta sausage. We also tried the mango salmon ceviche, this was very light and refreshing. Maybe I'm use to other places serving ceviche with some sort of chips, it was missing a crunchy element for me. The place is relatively small but we will definitely be back to try more of the items. If you work around here, I noticed they have a lunch menu that is really reasonably priced as well.
