JUST LIKE HONDAYA IZAKAYA IN CALI
**2017 Yelp 100 Challenge LV #12**
I have literally been WAITING to try this place out and I FINALLY got the chance this year & it was great!! It was just like Hondaya in Tustin, CA which I have been really wishing would come to vegas so I didn't have to keep choosing that place every time I go back home.
Service was an INTERESTING start.... not too friendly... but once I started to order things got different. All the staff were smiling & coming by to check up on us. They all greeted us bye very loud & genuinely.
Atmosphere is just how I would have imagined it. Wood furniture w/ cushions & has that whole Japanese late-night bar hangout place. Plus they are open late so it's my go-to after a hard day's work!!!
Now since they are a tapas style.... this is what I ordered.
