About Izakaya Tora

Izakaya Tora is a charming hidden gem in Vegas, with a cozy interior that contrasts its unassuming exterior. Known for traditional Japanese dishes with a modern twist, it also offers an impressive sake menu. The atmosphere is lively and fun, especially during their happy hour. The staff is super friendly and helpful, providing attentive service and explaining everything on the menu for rookies. Many customers find the food delicious, with favorites like the charred cabbage, sirloin cap, and bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms. The sashimi was impeccably fresh, and the robata-grilled skewers offered a symphony of smoky tenderness. The lamb is incredible, and the special of pork and peaches is also a must. They sent out a fried wrapped peaches dessert with ice cream matcha foam on top, which was insane. The grilled chicken hearts were a favorite. The owner himself was behind the counter cutting sushi and serving, making it a legit find away from the hotels and casinos. The hand rolls are fresh and flavorful, and the sake selection is excellent.

Google said that they close at 2am. We got there at 11:30 and found out they shut down at midnight. They still served us with a smile and enthusiasm.

I often stay in this area and discovered Izakaya Tora within the past year. It’s tucked into a great plaza with other solid spots like Cleaver, Musashi, and Middle Child, but Tora has quickly become one of my go-to places for good yakitori and sushi.

On my most recent visit, I sat at the bar and had an excellent experience with Chef SJ, who was welcoming, attentive, and clearly takes pride in what he’s putting out.

Great yakisoba. Great sushi. Always a good test is to see how well they make unagi. It was busy but was well managed and they followed up with me throughout the night.
