Had a wonderful experience here! Service was great, place was clean, food portion was solid and really yummy. Everything looked so good - I wish there was an option to just order extra katsu (don't think I saw it?). Would come here again!

We came here since it was highly recommended by a friend who has lived in Japan for 20 years and he said this place is very authentic. After visiting, I can see why he recommended it! The interior is so cute and makes you feel like you're in a small town in Japan. The server was also friendly, quick, and efficient. I ordered the chicken katsu curry, and it was delicious! The katsu had a well-seasoned breading, the chicken was moist, and the curry was flavorful with a little bit of heat. It paired really well with the pickled red radish, which added a nice balance to the dish. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality and portion. Definitely a great spot for Japanese comfort food

Mortar and Pestel
Kent C.

Walked in, not very busy, was told to self seat. First time here, we ordered, was given a small mortar and Pestel for the sesame seeds to grind and make the katsu sauce. Our server was Mario, he just left the mortar and pestle and walked off, no instructions, no questions if it was our first time. Service was good, he checked on us. Music was a little loud, but we also sat ourselves directly under the speakers, our fault. They are understaffed and have a sign for employment hanging at the door. The food was decent, normal katsu, the breading was fluffy, liked it. The curry udon was okay. Restrooms were clean.

My husband was craving for some JAPANESE CURRY so we went on YELP and found several Japanese curry places. We picked this one because it was the closest location to us and it had pretty good ratings... ONE MAN SHOW: Service was great! We asked for cheese and they gave us melted mozzarella to put in our curry. We're use to curry house style curry in LA. They would have melted cheese or Parmesan on the curry with a side of red radishes!! CURRY: 8/10 It was Good and it will satisfy your katsu curry craving! It's hard to find good curry so this place hits the spot. Also, it wasn't crowded and you can find parking easily... FRIED OYSTERS: 10/10 I really enjoyed the fried oysters because it tasted fresh and tender. The panko breading had just the right amount of crispiness and the oysters were not chewy... HURRY HURRY to TORA KATSU & CURRY!!!!!!

Soooo incredibly delicious--from the miso soup to the cabbage salad to the katsu itself! I devoured every last bit they served me on that tray. We got the Pork Hire Katsu set and the katsu was just tender, juicy and so unctuous with a crunchy panko breading. The sauce was a bit tangier than I'm used to, but still went well with the dish. I also loved that the rice was not dry--some places just serve you rice that's gone hard and cold, and it's not very enjoyable. One of the most notable things was that they also give you a suribachi and surikogi (Japanese mortar and pestle) to grind up your own roasted sesame seeds for the katsu sauce. We've gone to several katsu places and it's been a while since we've gone to one where they offer this. I think it completes the whole katsu experience! The interior was very aesthetically Japanese and so welcoming. It also seemed like there was only one server the whole time we ate there, but he was very attentive, friendly and quick. Overall, this place certainly jumped to the top of my favorite katsu spots and will be a go-to for us whenever we visit Vegas!

I want to start by saying the food was a 5/5, honestly even a 6/5. I really enjoyed the meal, a LOT. The wait and lack of service held the whole experience back. I'm no stranger to the minimal service style you see at some Chinese spots, and I actually don't mind it. But I waited over 45 minutes for my meal. My drink was empty for a while and stayed empty, and I couldn't flag anyone down since the only staff member seemed to be in the kitchen or behind the counter most of the time. It was a busy Sunday lunch, so I'm guessing they were either short staffed or she was juggling multiple roles, not sure. I ordered the Pork Hire with Soba noodles, and it was excellent. The soba and dipping sauce were a highlight, and the katsu was lightly fried to perfection. Everything came together really well. The food alone makes me want to give this place 5 stars, and I'd definitely come back to give it another shot. Just be prepared for a wait, if you've got around 45 minutes it's worth it, I think lol. I just didn't expect that kind of delay, especially being a party of one with only about 5 to 6 other tables occupied. Just a heads up if youre planning to bring a large party with no patience.

Still one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in Vegas. Serving katsu. Their katsu is breaded and Seasoned perfectly. Can't go wrong with any kind of protein. Served with unlimited cabbage salad. Can get a combo meal with soba or udon as well. Love the soba with dipping sauce. Service is always attentive.

Ambiance of this place was good! Bright and spacious! The hostess who greeted us also took our order. Very good service! She was attentive though she looked like the only one there. We came here because I was craving katsu. We placed our order and it came out right away. I really wanted to love the place but the katsu seemed a little too greasy. My mouth felt a little more oilier than I expected. The flavor was there but there was something missing that I couldn't pin down. I'd come back in a pinch to satisfy the katsu craving. The service after all was good and I did like the atmosphere.

We were in Chinatown again (go figure) and were going to have lunch and go grocery shopping. The original plan was to go for an AYCE sushi meal, but changed our mind since we just didn't want to eat that much. So we went to Tora, we hadn't been here for ages and since they have several of my favorite dishes, we figured why not... Ashley was our server and was running the register as well. Seating was quick, lively music vibe, perfect for lunch. We ordered takoyaki (IYKYN what these are) as an app. Some of the best I've had . My meal was the "hire" katsu teishoku (teishoku means set or complete meal) with cold water noodles . The "hire" katsu was more robust and a bit fattier than the plain katsu. The meal comes with a shredded cabbage salad, a small piece of tofu wit sauce . Another feature that lends to the authenticity is the little grinder bowl with sesame seeds and the muddler. You pulverize your sesame and then they bring a pitcher of tonkatsu sauce to add. My pork was fatty delicious the panko was light and crispy, the cold water noodles (a must have in summer time in Japan was great, good size serving on a plastic fake bamboo style made with a few ic cubes and a small bowl of soy to dip.... So cooling. I also ordered a side of curry to dip my katsu in. My dining companion had the tempura style shrimp teishoku ... with a side of rice and udon soup. The shrimp (5) were huge and totally crispy. We were stuffed when it was time to leave. By the way they serve alcohol, but we didn't partake. I imagine this place is pretty lively in the evening.. Didn't ask for a military discount. Tab was $ 103. 00 including 20% tip. Well worth it!

Food is amazing and you can tell they take pride by the way it is cooked and presented. Ther service is great and the ambiance is pure relaxation. The restaurant is beautifully designed and feels like being bin Japan. I recommend this place to everyone out there.

Hire katsu combo

This is not my first time here, but this is my first time writing a review for this place. We were greeted right away hostess was really friendly. When we got there, it wasn't too busy so we were served really quickly. I always order Gyoza when I go here, it's always hot and crispy. This time we ordered the cheese Katsu and also the Tori Katsu. I got my Tori Katsu with the cold soba noodles. Katsu was really crispy super juicy, and the cold soba noodles was an excellent side choice. The food here is always consistent. Rice is cooked perfectly and I love the miso soup. Food comes out fast and cooked very well. I think their portions here are perfect. The shredded lettuce on the side with the dressing is very tasty. Do they have a lot of choices as far as drinks are concerned they even said they even have some Hawaiian sun juice there. I love coming here for my katsu fix and I will definitely be back for more. Give this place a try and happy eating.

Chicken Katsu
Linh N.

We came here the first time with no expectation of what this place could be, but it surprisingly so yummy. Order does take a bit to come out but It tasted very clean and fresh. You can tell the tempura is made to order. We've gone here multiple times now and the food and service have been very consistent.

Kevin G.

5/5 food and flavor and taste - the Katsu is one of the lightest and most clean tasting katsus I've ever had - soba is excellent as well - presentation and portion are perfect - curry and cheese katsu tastes fresh - the interior does not match the taste of the food - that's my only gripe with the place, it looks like some mid level taco shop, but the food is like a 5 star Japanese place Awesome place

But the highlight was the seared salmon lemon nigiris for me! There's also miso soup and some limited items to 1 per person such as uni and oysters, and hamachi kama! Also ate the salmon Kama. They do not skimp and you can just keep ordering and ordering. Ambiance was nice and the service was so so good. It's a must stop place for when we are in Vegas! Check them out

The moment we walked in and the tiny Japanese lady with the soft voice guided us in, I knew Taryn…read morepicked the right spot. As tiny as the lady, was the restaurant. Everything was so carefully placed that the space was tight but not cluttered. The four of us were side by side with just enough room to eat without elbowing each other. This place and the signage is so small that I never would have thought to come by myself. I was hesitant to come but the group had been there before and insisted on going again and getting there EARLY AF. I didnt want to but they were right.. two of them got there over 30min early for a spot in line and we were far from the first half to get seated. And we were there just in time to not lose our place in line, they wont seat you without your whole party present. Taryn and Louise were almost begging to stay in line while Jaynah and I ran from my car waving like two messy heathens. Worth it. The food and service was great. All of us having been to Japan and lots of Asia, this place was exactly what we wanted and I know why they wanted to come back. The food took long enough that we knew it was being made to order but we weren't waiting too long, and everything was HOT. There was instructions that came with my bowl lol but of course I just ate it like an animal. The service kept the water coming and someone stopped by just every so often to make sure we were all good. Shout out to our waiter (name starts with an H, sorry! I'll look it up later!) who took care of us and even took a polaroid and signed it for us! Sent a bunch of pictures to my boys, I'll definitely make the drive and come back with them

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." - Yogi Berra…read more Fortunately, Chamon and Seoul Plaza as a whole weren't too crowded when I showed up to check it out toward the end of a weekday lunch service. I just had to wait a couple of minutes to be seated. Deluxe Tendon ($27.95): I could've gone for a negitoro bowl or some onigiri, but I stuck to the tempura bowl (tendon) instead. They serve it with miso soup, a great version full of green onions, and some pickles that are more like simply fermented veggies than anything really strong on the palate. Then you can unload a helpful small dish from the bowl and start placing tempura on it to add matcha salt, chili powder, and/or of course tempura sauce. The sauce dispenser actually restricts the flow so you can portion it slowly and modestly. The variety of proteins and veggies was fun, including standard shrimp, freshwater eel that eats a lot like white fish, and a small deboned and halved fish that was perhaps my favorite. The zucchini, kabocha, and even the nori and shiso are also battered and fried. Nothing was absolutely spectacular, but it was a fun, filling meal. Hojicha Latte ($3.95): creamy, reasonably flavorful, and certainly affordable. If you're sensitive to the chili powder and may have added a bit much to your bite, this will relieve the burn for sure. Yuzu Sherbet ($3.95): very reminiscent of, if not identical to, one of my favorite special desserts at their dead sister sushi spot back in the day. Smooth, creamy, full of yuzu flavor, and it's actually two small scoops rather than just one. Service was great, with iced water already served before I was even seated, orders taken quickly including last call, and dessert and check delivered promptly (possibly since it was almost closing time). The dining area is pretty modest, like their nearby ramen spot, but food comes out quickly and it's possible to turn over tables quickly too as long as people eat at a reasonable pace. The music was soft and full of piano. I admit that I wasn't blown away, but Chamon was certainly a good lunch experience. I'll have to come back to try more of their menu, perhaps their onigiri or even their A5 wagyu tempura bowls.

My brother and sister-in-law took us here, and luckily, we arrived early enough to avoid the line and snag the last available table. Moments later, a long line was forming outside! Truth be told, I'm not usually a fan of katsu, although my entire family loves it. We ordered both the regular and thick-cut pork katsu sets to compare, along with oysters, a seafood mix, jumbo scallops, mushrooms, and Kumidashi cold tofu. My favorite was the scallops. Everything except the tofu was fried, and WOW! The katsu here is unlike what I've had elsewhere. Perfectly crispy, clean-tasting, not greasy, moist on the inside, and seasoned just right. I also enjoyed the ritual of grinding sesame seeds to mix into my katsu sauce. The iced green tea was wonderfully refreshing, and refills were included--a nice bonus! Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Coming from someone who doesn't typically gravitate toward katsu, I thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

The service is also very quick and polite. Lowlights: The restaurant is very small and they pack a lot of tables inside so they don't allow strollers. I imagine it would be hard to dine with a large group.

They offer all-you-can-eat for around $35, which honestly seems like a great deal if you can put down some sushi , but we knew we wouldn't eat enough to make it worth it, so we opted to order à la carte instead. We started with the pork belly, which was actually the only thing we didn't care for, so we ended up sending that back. Everything after that, though, was SO good. The garlic spicy salted edamame was delicious and such a good way to start. We also tried several of their all-day specials--the yellowtail carpaccio, crunchy onion albacore, and seared bluefin tuna--and all three were delicious. Normally the specials are limited to one per person with AYCE, but since we were ordering à la carte, we could order however many we wanted. For rolls, I got the A Little Tease Roll and really enjoyed it. My husband got the Call 911 roll, and judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say he loved his too . My son kept it simple with a California roll and a cup of rice, which worked perfectly for him. We also shared a lychee nigiri, one of my favorites, and it was super yummy. The ambiance is probably one of my favorite things about this place. It's really fun and feels like somewhere you could come for a date night, but it's still completely comfortable for families. It would also be a great spot to come with a group. The surrounding area looks a little sketchy, so don't let that throw you off. Once you walk inside, it seriously feels like you've been transported somewhere completely different. The restaurant itself is really nice and has such a fun vibe. Definitely recommend checking this place out and trying some of their different sushi rolls and specials. Everything we had (minus the pork belly ) was BOMB. Next time we're in Vegas, we'll absolutely come back and try some more!
