Ok I am a tourist in Las Vegas from Hawaii. I want to eat some good Japanese food and I am tired of paying out of my ass for crap Japanese on the strip. Lucky for me I trusted Yelp and went to Izakaya Cocokala. If you are from Hawaii I can tell you the food is as good as Imanas Te, Tokuri Te, Bistro Shun, you get the idea. if you are not from Hawaii just know that there are more Izakayas in Hawaii than McDonalds and they have to be good to survive. The food is tasty and cheap! we had yakitori at less than 2 bucks, salmon Kama $15, a really tasty seared scallop and kiwi special $8.50, rice pizza (try it!). Most people don't drink red wine at an Izakaya but my wife and I love red wine and couldn't believe they had a Jordan Cab for $44! Almost as good as a BYOB. The service was so friendly and spot on I know we will be back here before we go back home.
Anyway, for my friends from Hawaii, get you butt out of the California Hotel and the all you can eat sushi places and give this place a try.
