Such a cute authentic Japanese spot. Food was fire, Robata Beef Skirt and the Yakitori was off the hook! The staff were amazing and helped explain what to order. Place was clean, prices fair, we will definitely be back!

The best izakaya in town by far, far, far. Run, don’t walk. Excellent menu, all the good items that no one else seems to offer in Vegas, all executed perfectly. So happy to actually have real yakitori, finally!

The Karaage Chicken was very tender and tasted perfect. The House Special Miso Ramen was so amazingly good that I regretted getting the half size. Do yourself a favor and order the full size bowl. If you get the half size you will be wishing you had listened to me. We had a mix of different Yakitori Grilled Skewers, all of which arrived hot feom the grill and all were tender and tasty. I will be back to eat again and take pics of the Ramen before eating it all.

I had such a great experience at this izakaya! I ordered a mix of skewers, a bowl of ramen, and the ground chicken rice bowl, and everything was delicious. The skewers were perfectly grilled with great seasoning, the ramen had a rich, comforting broth, and the chicken rice bowl was flavorful and surprisingly hearty. The service was friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable for the quality, too. Overall, a wonderful spot for a relaxed, satisfying meal — I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in town again!

Great new spot for AUTHENTIC Japanese food! Shun has set the bar in LV if you’ve been trying to replicate those izakaya experiences from abroad. Service was five stars (also speak Japanese), restaurant was quaint like an izakaya should be. Food was top notch, clean and filled all the flavor profiles. Priced appropriately and really worth the visit. Will be back soon!
