| - During my trip from South Dakota to Cali the bf and I planned it so that we would have a stopover in Vegas and we wanted to try something that was off the strip that more locals ate at that was not ridiculously expensive. We love izakaya and frequently go to Village Yokocho in NYC so we wanted to see how this place would hold up.
We went there on a Saturday and got there about 7ish or so, it was pretty packed and there was a large asian clientele which I always look at as a good thing in an asian establishment. We had to wait for about 5 mins or so, but with a smaller party it's always a shorter wait and we had a seat at the bar.
The waitresses there were adorable and were very friendly and helpful. You got a regular menu but as people said in other reviews you have to walk around to see what other tasty treats might be posted on the wall around the restaurant.
There were a few things we had to get, one was the yellowtail tartare. It was...interesting, with tortillas and avocado being the main tastes, I am not sure if I would get it again but it wasn't bad...I wish I got more of a taste of the yellowtail in the dish. A quick breadown of the other thins we got if my memory serves correct:
1) Wasabi octopus - seemed like a popular dish, very fresh, cut good so its not to chewy, cheap
2) Fried squid - great sauce, perfectly cooked
3) Red snapper carpaccio - pretty presentation, eh on taste but not terrible
4) Spicy deep fried chicken - another seeminly popular dish, it was drenched in that srirachi sauce (sp?) but the breading wasn't to heavy and reminded me of a tempura
5) Tried to get salmon belly but it was sold out for the night
6) Honey toast of course - I dont know how they get half a loaf of bread to do that but I love carbs and I liked the denser chewy parts that were drenched in honey that you scoop up some melting ice cream with.
We had to get some Asahi Super Dry which was super cheap for the super big bottle, all together I dont even think our bill came up to $40 with all of that between the two of us, and it was an interesting neighborhood.
The ladies next to us got a bunch of sushi and a ramen dish which looked good but nothing to spectacular. I wish I saw or thought to ask for monkfish liver because that is really really yummy. We wanted to get some yakitori but they didn't have any combos and the selection was pretty small, overall I think our NY spot is still #1 but this place was solid.
One thing I dont like about Vegas is it's a little hard to get a cab and you technically can't flag one down on the street, you can call for one and there is a cab stand close by...we happened to see a guy leaving the shopping complex next door and ran up on him to get a ride, which can work as well.
