| - If you are in Vegas and yelping for a place to eat, do yourself a favor and stop looking, Ichiza has now entered your life. And I am just a little bit jealous that you get to experience this place for a 1st time and alas, I will never have the opportunity to lose my Ichiza "virginity" again. Maybe if someone to smack me with a cast iron skillet in the head? Willingly, please?!? Due to the evolving menu and enourmity of it, I wont delve too deeply into individual dishes here. The menu is based on that days purchases and is updated throughout the night as things are written in chalk all over the walls...... Dozens and dozens of daily specials on top of the regular menu. While the menu fare is excellent, the real stars are the specials on the walls. Corn butter. Yes, oh my god, corn butter. Luscious and tender Pork belly in a delcate miso. Home made spring roll unlike any other "springroll" youve ever had. Seriously. Did I mention corn butter?
The food here is so simple and delicious that one would think that they were complex after all, just miso and a piece if pork couldnt taste that good on its own...in style, the food is almost a japanese version of tapas, whereas dishes are generally smaller, tasting portions rather than huge entree plates. These are meant to be sampled throughout the night during glasses of beer and shoju..... The atmosphere is inrimate yet loud, as the space is small and always full. Located off the strip and in a medium sized mall known as Las Vegas' Chinatown, this easily outdoes 98% of the other dining experiences in an already highly gifted food mecca. Trust me, go and reward yourself... And be adventurous here, try a few new things. Food is the star here, you can keep your Elton and Celine.
