Great selection of grilled skews perfected on binchotan, you can smell and the taste the flavor from burning on the charcoal! Our favorite includes the pork cheek, pork skin, beef tendon, mushroom, salmon. The house special tastes very unique with Japanese plum, goes well with the Raku tofu. The Kamameshi salmon rice bowl on the secret menu is amazing, great when eating fresh or cold when made into a rice ball as leftover. You have to order ahead as it takes 45 minutes to cook. We always make sure to make a stop here every time we come to Las Vegas.

We went I have a fun, foodie date. Objectively, it didn't taste very good. The waitress told us to dump soy sauce on our eggplant, which was obnoxious. We asked the servers for some guidance and advice and they didn't give any really.
I'm open to the idea that it isn't my type of food but also we would have enjoyed it much more of the service was better and kinder.
On the plus side, the asparagus was ok. The rest was meh.
Thanks.

No joke. I’m from Miami. It’s the best Japanese meal for this year so far. I enjoyed every single dishes I ordered. I ordered twelve different dishes, from cold dish to grills. My top 3 would be uni and okra bowl (the last pic), duck skewer, and outside skirt beef. I will absolutely come back again. I already miss the bowl, it has all my favorite ingredients-mushrooms, okra, uni, Chinese yam, egg, salmon roe, and very nice and refreshing fish soup base, 😭🤤I love their vegetable and sashimi, so fresh and sweet and juicy (for veggies). OMG. I cannot stop myself from ordering more until I was too full to stand up. My eating speed was like sonic bc they were so goooood. I regretted not ordering the omakase for the night since the meals they offered look amazing. I hope I can bring this restaurant home.
Japanese charcoal grill, late-night favorite

Our go-to spot every time we’re in Vegas! As former owners of a Japanese restaurant ourselves, we’re pretty picky when it comes to Japanese food—and this place never disappoints.
The food is consistently excellent, with amazing attention to detail and authentic flavors in every dish. You can truly taste the quality in the ingredients and the care in how everything is prepared. From the presentation to the flavor balance, every bite reflects true Japanese culinary craftsmanship.
The service is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cozy yet refined—perfect for a relaxing date night or casual dinner. It’s clear they take pride not only in their food, but also in creating a great dining experience.
Highly recommend this gem if you’re looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in Vegas. We keep coming back—and it just gets better every time!

Overhyped and Falls Drastically Short
Was recommended to this restaurant for the tasting menu. Save your money and go up the street for sushi or Korean BBQ. Charged 300 for 2 people and left still hungry and underwhelmed. Honestly at that price point I expect to blown away. Left feeling scammed to be honest.
I reserved a table and was initially seated right next to the entrance near all the foot traffic and in an very noisy atmosphere. Finding this unacceptable I asked to be seated somewhere else and they put us in the back in a much quieter and nicer area with an atmosphere I would expect at this price point. The staff were polite, but I had a hard time understanding most of what was said.
The food was OK. The tofu soft and creamy with nice seasonings you could put on it. The 2nd course was good sashimi. The third was a mixed bag, but up to that point the portions had been small. After waiting 20 minutes for the next course I expected the portions to increase, but only received 3 skewers of admittedly great things, however each was a single skewer and each was a single course. The final dish and desert were similarly underwhelming as the third course.
Not worth it at all sadly. Consider it $330 dollars wasted. I recommend Anima by Edo. Spent the same amount and still consider it one of the best food experiences I have ever had.

Delicious authentic Japanese yakitori and other types of food. We got the premium omakase and everything we had was delicious. The housemade tofu was delicious. Loved the pork with truffle. The rice with the tuna and roe. Flaming Wagyu on the rock. It was all delicious. Would definitely return! Service was great too.

I first went five years ago and couldn’t wait to come back. Amazing authentic Japanese food. Real homemade everything. Homemade soy sauce, spices, salts, tofu, everything really done with attention to detail. Delightful!
