Came back here on my most recent trip to Vegas. First time a few years ago, the trip was pre-kids, adults only - totally enjoyed the raucous izakaya vibe and late night hours. This time, a totally different trip, with kids in tow - but Ichiza was just as good as I had remembered.
We showed up around 6, no reservations, no wait. Ordered whatever looked good off the walls - and it was a lot of dishes - our party of 3 adults/2 kids was not disappointed. What stands out in my memory: the chawan mushi, grilled beef tongue, jalapeno fried rice, and okra with natto. Ichiza has definitely become part of my not-to-miss-in-Vegas lineup; I really wish we had something this good open that late in the SF Bay area...
