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. \n\nService 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.\n\nAtmosphere 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!!! \n\nNow since they are a tapas style.... this is what I ordered.\n\nPUMPKIN CROQUETTE $1.50\nAGE DASHI MOCHI $3.95\nDEEP FRIED SOFT SHELL SHRIMP $6.50\nGRILLED MOCHI W/ COD ROE CHEESE $5.95\nSAUTEED BUTTER MUSHROOMS $4.95\nLIVE FRESH OCTOPUS $14.95 - ehhh I wouldn't order it again \nHALIBUT CARPACCIO W/ UNI $14.95\nSEA URCHIN PASTA $- lots of UNI flavor yummm\nTRUFFLED BUTTER CORN ON HOT PAN $4.95- definitely pass on this one cuz it has NO TRUFFLE taste at all\nDEEP FRIED SQUID LEGS - their squid legs are perfect!\nGRILLED HAMACHI KAMA $10.95\nQUAIL EGG W/ BACON $2.50\nCHICKEN GIZZARD $2.25\nCHEESE DUMPLING $3.95\nDEEP FRIED WHOLE HALIBUT\nSALMON TARTAR $3.95\nGRILLED ROCK OYSTER - these are freaken HUGE!!!JUICYY\nGIANT CLAM SASHIMI $8.95\nSEA URCHIN SASHIMI $18 - they give you this cute little wooden plate filled w/uni!!
