Japanese run restaurant in Chinatown with private seating option...sounds like adventure? Sure was. I didn't want those fake Japanese teppanyaki sushi joint on strip, and I read a review of Ichiza on Japanese blog.
You walk on and it's complete Izakaya experience. Japanese manager sitting at counter and cute Japanese waitress with high pitch voice repeating orders...I got my hope high.
Menus was very authentic Izakaya menus. You don't see crap like California roll or Kobe this and that.
Sat on counter with my client, we had good time feeling like back in Japan.
Food quality, however, was hit and miss. Small appt dishes were all good, ramen was too soy saucy. But hey, this is Vegas put of nowhere and we were thankful for this innovative guy running true Essenes of Izakaya business.
Majority of customers here are Chinese or Europeans, only japanese are the actual people working...interesting eh?
