Definitely a hidden gem! Plenty of parking, which is always a plus, and the restaurant itself is super cute with a great amount of seating. Customer service was on point from start to finish, and every dish came out fresh and hot. We ordered a variety of items off the menu and were honestly impressed across the board. The gyoza ($6) was perfectly pan-fried with a great crispy bottom, and the filling was packed with flavor. The dipping sauce had just the right hint of spice to bring it all together. The takoyaki ($6) were hands down some of the best we've had at any restaurant. Super crispy on the outside, and when you bite in, the inside just melts and oozes out, so good and full of flavor. The squid leg karaage ($10) was a great starter. Squeezing fresh lemon over it and dipping it in the mayo and spicy sauce combo made it even better. Definitely recommend this one. We were especially excited about the soft shell crab ($9) since it's hard to find it served on its own. It did not disappoint... perfect crunch, great flavor, and the dipping sauce really elevated it. The tonkatsu curry ($13) was a standout. The jasmine rice was cooked perfectly, the curry had rich flavor with tender carrots throughout, and the katsu was fried to perfection... crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Easily a 10/10 dish. The curry udon ($9) is perfect if you're craving something comforting...just curry and noodles done right. The udon ($8) had a flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles, simple but executed really well. The crazy dragon roll ($13) was definitely a highlight. The amount of eel on top was impressive, and the roll itself was a great size. Everything from the rice to the flavor balance was spot on. Every dish that came out had us smiling, we genuinely enjoyed everything we tried. Highly recommend this spot, and we'll definitely be back again soon! read more

What a great find on Yelp! Went to their happy hour open- 9 pm! Really enjoyed their choice plate sushi- a fantastic choice with a good selection of great sushi! We enjoyed it all - fish was really fresh and tasty! Loved the generous portion of edamame steamed w/ a hint of salt ! Soft tofu a perfect compliment with our sushi order Grilled yellow tail Kama- omg the best ! I always order the Kama if it's on the menu and this one was awesome- loved the way it was grilled! So on the money! The service is awesome and very accommodating- they were there for our every meal! Parking is easy ! We'll be back for sure! read more

Its Izakaya is the perfect balance of ambiance, excellent food, and value. Customer service is top notch and the servers work like a family - always chill and smiling - special mention to Sophia. We always get their chirashi bowl, gyoza, miso salmon, grilled cod and takoyaki. We tried their special rolls and all are excellent. Consistency is their game and you can always expect the same level of customer service and food quality any season of the year! read more

Brought some out of town guests as it's always a sure bet for a good meal here! Dylan and the crew were on point and the beer was ice cold! 3 of us chose the small sashimi sampler (my favorite) the miso salmon was perfectly prepared - moist and flavorful. Didn't try the oden soup but our friends raved about it, she said like mom used to make. The kaarage as usual was crunchy and juicy and the sashimi dishes were very fresh. My go to Japanese restaurant did not let me down! read more

The spider roll was really delicious and we enjoyed the deep fried soft shell crab pieces. The Kaizen bowl was fresh but some pieces we did not enjoy, such as the squid and liver. Chirashi bowl was better and virtually the same. What we didn't like: I got food poisoning immediately after and I'm assuming it was probably from the uni because it didn't taste fresh and had an odd smell to it. Also, the Japanese owner I'm assuming was racist towards a Latino family enjoying their meal and mocking them in Spanish. As someone from that community I didn't appreciate her approach in the way she spoke to them. Won't be coming back! read more

4.5 star visit rounded up to 5 stars. Quality/Quantity - Due to arriving late in LV and eating a larger later lunch, I would have enjoyed this dinner more, and I would have ordered more and tried more. Scallop (Shio) Skewer - Small scallops, but cooked perfectly. With two options available, I let the waiter pick salt and pepper for me. I enjoyed the other crunch and softer center. Egg Plant Skewer - I could have and should have skipped this. Needed to be a little crispier and it was so little quantity. Are eggplants out of season? I will probably not do the Yakitori next time, just trying to relive my Japan experience. Blue Crab Meat Taco - HOMERUN! Wow, I was a little jealous when I saw this come; I almost ordered one for myself. Generous crab, and how did you cook the seaweed into a taco shell? Thick and crisp! Whole Squid (Ikayaki) - I have been craving this for the last few years! I usually buy it at KP Market in Oakland, CA, but they have not been selling it... The squid was cooked perfectly. I would have liked my onions browned a little more. And the sauce could have and should have been much more spicy! But I can understand that most of your customers might not prefer the HOT spicy korean sauce. Its Izakaya Roll - Have to try the signature roll. Decent quantity, espesically for the price. Basically a CA roll with some deep fried chicken in the center and their special sauce. It was okay. And to wash it all down, a 21oz Sapporo; they were out of the $4 draft... Ambiance - Decent size restaurant. Got lucky as we did not have reservations and were seated at the last available table. Most booths seat up to 6. Cool decor throughout, see pictures. Small parking lot, but all us tourists ride share here. Only the locals drive. Due to peak season and peak dinner time, my round trip ride share (2.6 mile each way) cost me $60! If added to the dinner price, it was expensive, lol. The customer base is a mix of locals and tourists (thanks to Yelp). Unisex restrooms. Service - Good, but had to ask for "everything" which they brought to us with no issues. Forks, ginger & wasabi, extra frosted glass, water refill, etc. All 3 team members were good. Price - $46 + tip. Reasonably priced, normally I would have ordered an extra sushi roll ($15 more), but again, due to my late lunch and being a light eater, I just could not eat any more. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the last 3 years. Looking forward to sharing this experience with my friends on my next visit. read more

This was our second visit here. We stopped by for some late night eats. Husband wanted Izakaya and this spot came to mind. We were greeted and seated quickly. Love the vibe of this place. They have a good decent size menu. They have a service button to alert when you are ready to order. We ordered Chicken Katsu, 2 different orders of the crispy rice, agedashi tofu, pork jowl skewers, blue crab fried rice, fried oyster and shishito peppers. we def ordered more food then we expected lol Food came out fairly quick. Everything was delicious- the blue crab fried rice was the star and the sauce that came with the pork jowl skewers were good. The shishito peppers was on the spicier side- whew my nose was running lol. The agedashi wasn't served with the normal soft tofu and it was lacking salt. Our son killed his chicken katsu. The fried oyster was good too! Overall, we enjoyed everything. Definitely a spot worth trying! read more

One of our go-to spots for solid food! It's not super authentic, but good quality and great prices. The service is also spot on. I especially love when tables have the bell to call your server because it just makes everything easier. We always order the udon and the chicken Karaage for our kids and they never disappoint. Both my kids will eat their entire dishes so these are 2 things we always get. I'm also a huge fan of their its izakaya roll and bonus! it's included (along with many other sushi items) in their 20% deal mon-thur from open to 9pm. Everything else we've tried has ranged from good-great (luckily nothing bad), so you really can't go wrong. The space is good and love that there are tons of booth seating. The only point I might make is that their light fixtures could use some dusting lol. read more

A must-go-to Izakaya when you're in Las Vegas! (Visited while on vacation) Pretty much everything we ate was delicious and reasonably priced. If you're into sushi, I would highly recommend the sashimi combo and the sushi tacos (especially the Negitoro taco). The sushi tacos were large with a very generous amount of fish, not just rice. Wasn't able to get a picture of the tacos because we were so hungry and it just that good! The staff were very friendly and attentive. I really like the ambiance of the restaurant as it has a modern and traditional Japanese-feel at the same time. Parking is convenient and right in front. Really appreciated that they're open late so we were able to dine after our night out downtown. read more

One of the better bang for your buck izakaya places out there, especially if you come within happy hour (20% off sushi/sashimi). Sashimi is fresh. Miso black cod cooked very well. Beef tongue nice and tender. The biggest complaint is that the whole restaurant smelled like sewage. Kinda unfortunate and probably out of their control but it definitely hurt my appetite. read more

My favorite sashimi spot. Presentation is beautiful, food is fresh and delicious, service is quick, and we are never felt rushed while enjoying our food or ordering a bit at a time. The sashimi platter is a favorite to order and gives a wide variety of fish. Great happy hour prices on sushi and sashimi as well if ordering à la cart. Great for date night read more

I would come back for their HH sushi but not for their yakitori. It was actually kinda disappointing that sushi was way better than their yakitori. Beef tongue was super chewy and their pork belly was not tasty. read more

It's not often we find ourselves near Chinatown late at night, but we were out late and hungry and stumbled across this place on Yelp. Worth the stop in for sure! The menu is sizable, the food quality is great, and prices are reasonable. Service is prompt and friendly. Very much a no-frills quality late night meal spot. The gyoza were great, tempura was fantastic (asparagus, eggplant, carrot, onion, and shrimp on a bed of rice) and the chicken fried rice (not pictured) was loaded with chicken and tasty. California roll was solid too. I suggest stopping in if you are in the mood for a large variety of options, good food, and reasonable prices. read more

This was our first visit, and we found it through Yelp's 4.7 star rating (always trust fellow Yelpers!). We decided to give it a try, and it did not disappoint. We were here early, so the restaurant was quite empty, perfect for some quiet time to really enjoy the food. The décor stood out right away, with colorful umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, which added a fun touch. Our server was friendly and attentive, making great recommendations since it was our first time here. We ordered the Large Sashimi Combo, Uni Sashimi, Ikayaki, Uni Pasta, Skewers Combo, and Black Sesame Pudding. OMG, everything was delicious! The sashimi was especially fresh and flavorful, and the combo was the star of the night. We've already decided to come back on our next Vegas trip. The menu has so much more to explore, and we can't wait to try more dishes! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. We always came here twice when we came to Vegas for a three night stay because it was so fantastic. The last two times we had greasy, tiny soft shell crab bits for $9. We were served yakatori chicken skin that was obviously old and like leather which we could not eat and sent back. Unagi had no flavor and was jelly like. We spoke to the manager who was nice, but she did not indicate they would do anything differently. I did not feel well (nauseous) when we left. We used to love this place but we are never coming back. read more

Been here a few times. There's parking around the area. On a Saturday night, the parking lot was busy. We've never had to wait for a table which is perfect. Service is always good. Friendly staff and great menu selections. Food: Pork Jowl Spicy Tuna Roll Agedashi Tofu Shrimp Tempura Hamburger and Egg Steak I personally did not like the flavor / taste of the spicy tuna roll. I did however enjoy everything else. The shrimp Tempura was a bit small in size but glad they gave us 4 instead of 3. I enjoyed the salted jowl. Overall, great spot for late night dining. read more

I always ordered a Kaisen don on DoorDash at this specific location because I think they have the best variety and quality out of all the Kaisen don I've had in Vegas (I've tried a lot). My friend wanted to go here for dinner one day and I didn't realized this was the same place until I saw their Kaisen don in person. It was my first time ever dining at the restaurant. I think they have amazing prices, big enough menu for anyone to enjoy, and fresh seafood. They have happy hour as well. Really like the food here, and it's probably one of my favorite izakaya. Service was also impeccable. My friends and I were catching up for a long time and not once did they interrupt us or rush us to leave (usually other restaurant would hand you a check even though you haven't asked for it). We also didn't feel neglected because they did check in on us at the right time. Place was clean and ambiance was nice. read more

A solid five stars I would say I went to heaven when I ate the blue crab taco. It was unexpected amazing, and there were different flavor textures that I never thought would happen and the thing that surprised me. The most was the outer seaweed really did feel and seem like a taco it was made in such a creative way with huge lumping of crab meat. OK beyond dreaming about that taco I would say the $35 chef choice for 15 pieces of sushi is such a great deal I mean overall every aspect of this place from the service to ambience to the taste of the food was top-notch so I can see why yelpers rave about this place. I mean you have to look at the pictures and see what we got all amazing food and I feel like I ate enough for three people. The price is unbeatable for the value and the amount of sushi that they give you so if you are in Vegas and you have a car, this is the place to go. Make sure you try to get happy hour. read more

ITs IZAKAYA was a fantastic take on the traditional Japanese bar experience, at a casual setting. As a person who was born and raised from Japan, I frequently shy away from Japanese establishments outside the country as I'm worried about overpriced, unauthenic experiences but ITs IZAKAYA provided quality fish at reasonable price points! I absolutely loved it. The great part about this place was the weekday Mon-Thurs happy hour for the budget conscious individuals. Food review: Appetizers: Shishito peppers (5/5): Great option for a bit of non-spicy greens with savory sauce. Great portion sizes and perfect for sharing. Softshell crab (5/5): I always order this whenever I can and I love the crunch of the shell with the flavorful morsels of crab. Agedashu Tofu (3.5/5): Compared to other choices, a bit underwhelming but I liked the warm tofu in light crunchy skin in light umami sauce. Takoyaki (4/5): Nothing much to add, a good takoyaki. Mains: Salmon & ikura bowl (5/5): A great value for $12, there was a whole layer of salmon and ikura in the middle. The rice was also seasoned, awesome item. Chirashi bowl (5/5): Had a good assortment of fish and was filling. Dragon roll (5/5): Generous roll with unagi. A must recommend for any unagi lover. Drinks - Lemon Highball (5/5): Refreshing, carbonated almost like a seltzer despite having a shot of whiskey. Long review but the tldr; was that it provided great variety all around and amazing Japanese food! Would come again! read more

Firstly, the service is amazing and attentive and our server came with great recommendations. He knew the menu well, knew what to recommend and his personal favorites like the soft shell crab taco also became our favorites; that actually is a must on the table! The ambiance is casual to intimate and has very chill atmosphere, plus a very fun birthday singing ritual (personally I'm not a fan of the singing but it's a great time either way). The plates were decent size and will get you full pretty quickly. The Chef's Choice sashimi was amazing and had some of my favorites for the entire evening. Those Hokkaido Uni nigiri though stole the spotlight. read more

Quiet little spot and a nice plan b when my usual favorite Izakayas have a wait of an hour or longer. While none of the food here is anything to write home about in my opinion, the value for portions is pretty good wrt the specialty rolls, which is what I mostly come for. Even then, I wouldn't say the sushi is top tier but again, value for portions is good. The skewer selection is small and overpriced which is a drawback. Yakisoba and other hot items are also good value but either lack in flavor or are otherwise just ok. read more

Fresh fish and good food. We had oysters, unagi, grilled mackerel, salmon over sesame rice, grill calamari, beef rice donbari, and the outrageous super crab/unagi roll. Everything was good cooked with a balance of taste and texture. The only fault is that the staff though friendly and professional, did not come to check on our experience. Yes there's a button to push to get their attention. In summary, the food was good, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff very friendly. Worth a return.

One of the best sushi experiences I've had in Las Vegas for a reasonable price. The booths are super spacious and there's a button to request service.

The small portion sizes were very underwhelming. - negitoro taco and blue crab meat taco: the toro and crab itself was yummy. But I actually did not care for the rice or taco shell concept.

I typically love trying new places but whenever I'm in Vegas, I'd want to stop by here! It's a tiny bit off the strip near Chinatown but it's worth it for some izakaya. There's no wait and the restaurant is calm away from the Vegas vibes. Service is amazing and food is great! It had a wide variety of Japanese food so there's always something you would want to eat! Yakitori and sushi were all reasonably priced too. I coincidently went during happy hour and my salmon and ikura bowl was 20% off. All the skewers were delicious too, not too salty. It was surprisingly alot of food, we had to take some to-go. read more

Great food + Great service + Great ambiance! Just landed in Vegas and was craving for some bomb food! My bestfriend recommended this place since she found it off Yelp. The decor inside is super cute, spacious & lots of seating. The food that they are known for is their sushi tacos! They are massive! It could feed 2 people, literally bigger than a Taco Bell taco. The shell is made out of seaweed, filled with a decent amount of rice and a generous serving of whatever protein you choose. I definitely want to be back again before I leave. read more

Great overall experience. The food, service and vibe/ambiance were great! Izakaya came recommended by some local friends. The 6 of us were comfortably seated in a large booth. Reviewing the menu was hard since so many dishes were appealing. When ready to order simply push the button on the table and our server arrived. She was very energetic and friendly. We order many items, such as, Pork Belly, Poke Tacos, Crab Crispy Rice, grilled squid, squid karage, cauliflower, skewers/satay and 2 sushi rolls recommended by our server. One of which was a roll topped w eel. The eel was huge. A whole filet of eel was placed on top of the roll before it was sliced. The eel hung over both ends and was thick and wide!! The other was a Goblet of Fire. Spicey w a white tuna. Delicious!!! The grilled squid was perfectly cooked. I highly recommend the Poke Taco, it was inside a nori crust shell filled and tasty. Dessert was Black Sesame Pudding, Mochi bites, and Strawberry Creme Toast The toast was soooo good. Basically the best tasting french toast with ice cream and whipped cream. Very good food, vibe and service!! Highly recommended! read more

ITs Izakaya is a great meal and you will not go wrong eating here. Almost everything we ate was really good and hit the notes. The service was great and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. The only reason for the 4stars instead of 5 is because the competition is Vegas is so intense and there are other izakayas that offer a more innovative menu with a similar dining experience. That being said ITs Izakaya is in the Vegas rotation, and that is saying a lot for a guy who doesn't like to repeat read more

This has become my new favorite spot in Vegas. The food is amazing. I can't really pick a favorite but I recommend the skewers, especially the pork belly and chicken skin, no sauce, just salt. The pork jowl skewer is also good. I wasn't a fan of the chicken hearts. They were a bit tough so I didn't order them again. I prefer the ones at izakaya go. Their wonton tacos are surprisingly huge. Their katsu curry is excellent. It is a little spicy, which I'm totally here for. Their poke bowl is another standout, and the katsu bowl is also a good choice. There's still a lot more to try, which I'll do next time. Prices are very affordable. The ambiance is great and the service is outstanding. The staff are all amazing. read more

No reservations needed. Came in right when they opened & was seated right away. Waiters were accommodating and answered all our questions regarding the menu and how the service bell works. Lots of parking available. Ambience was very relaxing and enjoyable to look at. FOOD: We got a couple skewers (very limited choices), half dozen oysters, the large sashimi combo, a roll (not pictured) and the salmon ikura bowl - between 2 people; this filled us right up. I would definitely recommend the salmon ikura bowl out of everything we ordered. Rice had seasonings and the ikura and salmon tasted so well together! I'd skip on the other skewers but if you were to order I'd probably only get the pork belly again. read more
