Just terrific! Small, a chef's restaurant where everything is original and homemade No sushi, but that's OK. Extremely moderately priced. A not-to-be-missed spot and, thankfully, one of the few that's not a coffee shop that's open until 3 a.m.

The food is authentic Japanese. They make their own Tofu and have several dishes not found in regular Japanese restaurants. The restaurant isn't very big so reservations are highly recommended. The wait can be up to two hours without reservations.

30 seat Japanese small plate gem. Only open for dinner 6pm-3am. Becoming very popular with Vegas chefs. One of GQ magazine food critic Alan Richman's best meals for 2008.

Possibly the best Japanese restaurants in LV! It's tucked away in the back of a strip mall in Chinatown, open for dinner only, and is quite small inside. The food is Izakaya style, meaning the plates are small. On average, my husband and I will share about 8 dishes. Standouts include the Kobe Beef with Garlic, the Agedashi Tofu, and Juicy Deep Fried Chicken. Everything we've tried here, however, has been outstanding. Save room for dessert too...
