| - Definitely a nice change of pace from the stereotypical sushi and teppan Japanese restaurants in vegas. Right when you walk in, you feel a very disctint Japanese feel to the place, very cozy. It isn't a big restaurant, but I wouldn't call it a whole in the wall either. It's never too busy, which is nice. Staff is pretty attentive and knowledgeable so feel free to ask them questions before ordering.
The food---Very diverse menu, ranging from small tapas like dishes to entrees, and of course DESSERT. Oh, not to mention alcohol.
I had the Katsu Don which is your breaded chicken or Pork in scrambled eggs with green onions over rice. I'd have to say that this place has one of my favorite katsu chicken, perfectly breaded and extremely moist and tender on the inside. Not dried out like other places.
My friend had the hamburger steak with potatoes on a hot skillet which he really enjoyed. The steaks looked well prepared with a nice crust on the outside and juicy on the inside.
We also tried the Garlic Beef w/rice which was delicious! Usually when places say something is garlic ________ it comes out to be not so garlic-y.....cafe de Japon isn't kidding around!
Can't really go wrong with any of their desserts, they're a cafe so it's kind of their thing. We shared the green tea roll cake and it was the perfect ending to our heavy meal. Very fluffy and bursting with that matcha green tea flavor that you would want. Not overly sweet, but creamy.
Will have to come back and try some of their coffee, the waitress said they had good iced coffee.
