I have now found the best Japanese tapas/izakaya place in Vegas! I used to go to Ichiza all the time and was a big fan, but since there is always a wait there, I found myself at Kyara. This is definitely a hidden gem (which after word gets out may no longer be) that I have been going to more and more lately. Currently $2 happy hour beers to go with a variety of delicious small plates that you can share with everyone.
Some of my favorite dishes include:
Hamachi jalapeno
Age dashi Nasu (eggplant)
Sauteed clams with sake
Ika Butter (squid)
pork kimchee
koro koro steak
gyutan skewers (beef tongue)
chocolate fondant (basically a warm chocolate cake)
This is definitely one of my new favorite places to bring my friends that are visiting. So far, everyone has enjoyed this place and we will definitely be back again to try some of the other dishes.
