When I'm in Vegas, I always wanna try great Izakaya places and came upon this new place. Wow, what a great find for a new place off the strip. As soon as we walked in, we greeted nicely and got seated right away. Looking through the menu, they have different kind of choices and also they put some special menu on the wall as well, very Tokyo style. Everything that we had was so umami. The tebasaki is a winner, we had to order twice. It's very crispy and juicy on the inside, not dry or overly fried as well. The a5 wagyu is just melt in your mouth and the croquette, is the best I've ever had. It's perfectly creamy, light and crispy. The service is very attentive as well. Definitely will go back here when we're in Vegas again!

Steak sampler

Came here after watching the Mortal Kombat movie was looking for something that was close to the house and stumbled upon this restaurant We were greeted and sat right away. They had a lot of options. We weren't really sure what to get. We decided to get the steak sampler which was the highlight. It was absolutely delicious. We got some chicken karage which was good. It came with a lot and a sushi platter we also got a carpaccio which we actually sent back because we did not like it at all!! would they nicely, took off the bill and let us exchange it for the calamari and the calamari was very good. We will definitely return to this place. It's nice that it's close to the house and supposedly their Ramen is in the top 100 list on Yelp so definitely will have to come back and check that out if you're in the area, don't skip this place. Its worth the stop stop

Wagyu Sampler

My first impression was, "A local spot with an expansive yakitori menu off the Strip." A hidden gem near UNLV, the interior of the restaurant was a nice surprise. Super cute decor with hand drawn menu items on the wall. The yakitori was perfectly smoked, some of our favorites that we tried were the salted chicken hearts, chicken thigh with white onion, and shiitake mushrooms. We also had the beef tongue which was tender and cooked well, and generously portioned. Some unique flavors were discovered in the Japanese Tebasaki Chicken Wings and the Miso Ramen. The flavor as unique and Smokey in a good way, these were great items to share. The Yellowtail Carpaccio with sesame sauce was so fresh and refreshing. The 3 American Wagyu Assortment was a good way to top off the meal and taste the different meats. It was cooked perfectly and great quality. Everything we had on the menu was delicious and the service was excellent. We finished off the meal with traditional warabi mochi dessert and matcha ice cream. The lasting impression? "We were visiting LV from SoCal where we have a lot of authentic Japanese restaurants and felt that this was better than some of the ones w have back home!"

I stopped by for a late snack and was pleasantly surprised with how good the yakitori was. I ordered the chicken wings, pork belly with daikon and ponzu, chicken thigh, skirt steak, and wagyu beef skewer. I highly recommend the skirt steak and wagyu. The beef was so tender, well seasoned, and you could taste the fire from the charcoal. It was so good that we had to get another order. The chicken wings were also delicious and crispy. I would definitely recommend this place as the service is quick and friendly, and the food is very good and appropriately priced.

I got here on Thursday night and was seated really quickly. I ordered the Tebaski Chicken Wings, Chicken Thigh (Tare), A5 Wagyu Beef, Wagyu Skirt and the Pork Belly. I love that you can order individual items based on your hunger level. My favorite was the Wagyu skirt as it was more grilled while still being super tender and flavorful. The A5 Wagyu beef, and the chicken thigh were also good, but nothing outstanding. The chicken wings were a little bit salty for my liking but it was crisp. I've had a similar experience in Japan and would say the ones there had more of a grilled flavor.

Pork belly skewer (salt and tare) and the chicken wings were the highlights from this quaint and clean izakaya spot. We tried the Wagyu trio and king oyster mushrooms as well, but the Wagyu seemed like just normal beef steak. Service was kind and served all of the items fresh and hot. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with notes of Japan and menu items on the walls.

We decided to come here for dinner for dinner as we wanted something chill and and off the strip. We ordered a good assortment of items to share. I enjoyed the variety of skewers, chicken wings, karaage, American wagyu assortment, and the chasu bowl. The prices were reasonable with decent portion sizes.

Chocolate Banana Waffle

I recently had the chance to dine at Izakaya Shun, and it ended up being such a pleasant surprise. We honestly didn't know what to expect going in. We were in town visiting our daughter, who attends University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and since she had class that evening, dinner ended up being a bit late. We were also celebrating my wife's birthday, so we were just looking for something good and close to our hotel--not too far, not too complicated. Izakaya Shun checked all the boxes, and we're really glad we gave it a try. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt relaxed and welcoming--exactly what you'd hope for in an izakaya. The food was where this place really stood out. The 3 American Wagyu Assortment (flap, short rib, and ichibo/picanha) was excellent--cooked perfectly medium rare, juicy, and incredibly tender. That was definitely a highlight of the night. The chirashi bowl was also very good, fresh and well-balanced. And something that might sound simple but really impressed us--the Kurobuta sausage skewers--were absolutely delicious. We also saved room for dessert, and I'm glad we did. The Japanese ice cream with brown sugar syrup was a nice sweet finish, but the standout was the choco banana waffle with vanilla ice cream, banana slices, and chocolate syrup--that was hands down the best! Service was another highlight. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that two of our servers were from Hawaii--just like us. That small connection made the experience feel even more special. Overall, what started as a convenient dinner option turned into a really memorable birthday celebration. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'd definitely come back again.

Fried Calamari

This place has been bookmarked for a few months now, and I finally checked it out today. The interior was beautiful and the vibe was great. Everyone was really nice, and the service was excellent. I ordered chicken hearts, A5 wagyu beef, and pork belly skewers. We also got the beef bowl, fried calamari, and spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna roll was on the smaller side and was just okay. The calamari and beef bowl were amazing. I finished the beef bowl fast. The pork belly and wagyu skewers were absolutely outstanding! Tender and perfectly seasoned. They were so good that I went ahead and ordered more. They totally exceeded my expectations. This place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back!

chicken karaage with negi sauce
Azia Y.

Absolutely loved everything we tried. Special shoutout to the spicy garlic edamame which I forgot to get a pic of. Our server was super kind and attentive. We went sunday night so it wasn't busy at all. They also had sweet treats to buy and take home so ofc we tried a handful of candies and snacks. Our fav dish was the beef skirt. Sooo tender and the sauce it came with was the cherry on top. The ramen was great and is served with pork. The chicken kaarage was GREAT. We asked for the sauce the steak was served with and honestly used it with everything. Can't wait to go back to this spot to try some desserts.

Incredible Flavor and Value The food at Izakaya Shun is fantastic, especially if you are looking for a great deal. The beef bowl is amazingly savory, and for about $13.30, it is an absolute steal. I visited with a group of four two of us had the beef bowl, and the other two ordered the chicken bowl. Every single one of us agreed that the food was excellent across the board. Highly recommend it for a satisfying and affordable meal! The ambiance is also great, it truly encompasses the feeling of Japan and the waitstaff are all nice. All this just across UNLV!

Such a fun spot The servers dress up as maids, which makes the whole experience even more unique. The drinks were amazing -- I had the yuzu original sour and loved it Every single skewer we tried was delicious... seriously no misses Already planning my next visit for more great food and vibes!

Miso ramen

The ramen here is outstanding. Beautiful interior, great service, and the food delivers--rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh ingredients. Everything came together beautifully. Definitely coming back.

We ordered the tonkotsu ramen with an added egg and a side of karaage. Everything came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. The chashu was incredibly tender, and the ramen egg was perfect both in flavor and texture... perfectly soft boiled. The karaage was also amazing... juicy, flavorful, lightly crunchy, and very well seasoned. The service was wonderful as well. The sweet and friendly Japanese ladies taking care of us made the experience even better. Their pricing was also very reasonable. Two bowls of ramen plus an appetizer came out to less than $40 before tip, which felt like a great value for the quality and portion sizes.

The takoyaki had a nice crisp to it; they seem on the smaller side, and there could've been a little more filling. I got the tonkatsu shoyu, and it was okay. The broth was a little bland the first few bites but then got a little too salty. The pork was tender but didn't have a lot of flavor. I added an egg, but it was overcooked, so that was disappointing.
