Raku, a legendary Izakaya started first on Spring mountain in 2008 and then opened Toridokoro Raku in 2020. My first visit was in 2021. This last visit in last month seems to be a bit underwhelming compared to before. Service (3/5): food comes out fast. Service was ok. Not super friendly or attentive. Ambiance (4/5): traditional Japanese izakaya feel with the small bar area and a few tables. Food (4/5): Will order again: Variety skewers: most of the skewers that we got such as chicken thigh, chicken heart and chicken gizzard were all good. Although it's strange that they were not hot when they came off the grill. I wonder if they reheat them in the back?! Make sure they give you the ones off the grill. Chicken soft bone with Brussels sprouts (5/5): we enjoy this dish a lot. Juicy fried chicken (5/5): Raku staple. One of the best fried chicken. Skipped: Appeizer set (3/5) nothing in that combination was memorable. Chicken liver with leek (3/5): it was too salty and oily. Overall, this is still a solid chicken izakaya place. Definitely make reservations ahead of time. They get really busy since it's a small place.

Omakase $70 per person
Stephanie S.

Omakase on a normal day. Nothing but the best for the girl who means the world to me. Originally came cause I saw the mapo tofu sold here looked good and I wanted to try. We did the $70 set and man we could not finish the food and it was really good! They make it so presentable and cute too! My style for sure. My favorite was the uni and ikura bowl. Also the strawberry sherbet was sooo good. The place is kind of small and the plaza isn't the best. The servers were running the entire show themselves. Poor server was running worked to the bone but she was as attentive as she could be. Glad I got to experience this, will try again to see if I can catch the mapotofu

Came here for the limited viral mapo tofu made table side And it did not disappoint! But the most delighted moments were the yakitori sticks and the mango beer. I wasn't planning to drink but had a sip of my friends and it was gulp worthy. We wanted to take a Togo jug back to the room BUT that was a no go lol every single yakitori was season and cooked perfection. We were quite impressed by the establishment. The service was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be retuning when I'm back in Vegas!

Delicious meal at toridokoro raku. We were welcomed with a cute tanuki statue at the entry way and sat down at the bar to watch the magic happen. The fan favorite is the mapo tofu. I've seen this online but it was fun to order it in person. Watching tofu form from liquid to solid within 10 min was entertaining. Plus, the dish was pretty affordable.

Otsumami Set- Assignments of Cold Appetizers

Toridokoro Raku has been on my list for quite a while now and this past Vegas we finally had a chance to try it out. Reservations is a must and I made mine a month before we went. Toridokoro isn't a big restaurant it has about 4 to 5 tables and 8 counter seating. Once arrived we were greeted right and was seated at the counter which was perfect. We get to watch the chef do his magic The plan was to try out their omakase but instead we opt out and ordered al carte. Which turned out to be great. We ordered the following: We started with the Appetizers Set to share. The set comes with five different cold Appetizers. We enjoyed it. It was light and refreshing. Yakitoi: HATSU-This was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly grilled so tender and juicy. KAWA- The Skin was nice and crispy. FOIE GRAS- Definitely my favorite. So rich and buttery. It's a must order at any RAKU location. Bonjiri- This was our second favorite. The chicken was tender and juicy. Momo- These thighs were great. Dakimi- Wish we order a few more of this one. The crispy chicken skin kept the breast nice and moist. Isabella Yaki- This Mochi was better at all. It just felt like eating a dessert for me. Liver Nira- Talking about drinking food. This is a must order dish. The liver was fantastic and done perfectly. Overall the quality of the food was great. Ordering al carte can get pretty pricey but it cheaper than on the Strip. Service was fantastic and very friendly. It's a place I would definitely return again.

Foie gras bowl
Tram L.

Absolutely delicious! The Japanese foie gras bowl was rich, buttery, and perfectly balanced. The foie gras practically melted in my mouth, and every bite with the warm rice was full of flavor. Definitely a special dish worth trying!

Jazzmine M.

A must for anyone that wants great food off the strip! Service is fast and friendly and the ambiance is bustling and casual, great for a casual dinner with friends or a date.

The soy is poured into this pot at its liquid state, the timer is there so when it's done
Miguel M.

The food is really good, the Mapo Tofu to die for, the sake clam soup will always be my favorite - the service was excellent, never waited on anything - it's a small place but the ambience was terrific!!!!!!!

Dan T.

Went out for anniversary dinner and all just perfect, perfect host, server and chef. All their dishes are amazing. It's so many choices to pick so we order as many as we can. All is very tasty and price reasonably. It's a huge skewers compare to normal yakitori. Their rating says it all so they don't need introductions. Have at em. All is amazing specially their Foie gras

人生不過一場體驗,願我們盡興而歸,2025 已落幕, 2026正開啟,敬過往,愛當下,向未來,願我們帶著過往的底氣,熱愛當下的時光,奔赴可期的未來~ 帶兩個小孩來Vegas跨年,因為帶他們來吃這家燒烤店,兩個很狗腿的跟我說, 從小到大來Vegas 這麼多次, 這次最好玩,,以前帶來那麼多次都不算就是了,應該是說這次吃的東西他們最喜歡, 這家燒烤, 我覺得是2025年一整年下來,我要給最高分數的餐廳, 可能我們三個本來就很愛吃燒烤,兩個小孩新撰組從小吃到大,而這家的燒烤比新撰組還要好吃非常多, 厲害的是點那麽多東西,沒有一盤讓我們失望, 不管是炸的, 烤的,煮的,雞肉, 內臟, 青菜, 怎麼都那麼好吃呀, 最難得的是東西都烤的不乾,軟硬適中,連最後上來的兩道甜點都是超過滿分,我家的歪嘴雞女兒說這家是她吃過所有餐廳裡的前五名, 真是難得,兒子跟我一樣好餵養, 他只專心狼吞虎嚥,認真吃飯,沒在講評的啦,我也是吃到飽到不行,沒法再吃下去任何東西了,裡面的位置不大, 要過來一定要打電話先訂位, 喜歡吃燒烤的你, 來 Vegas 別錯過了,這家在Vegas 燒烤是我們的新歡!

Alyanna M.

Decided to try some yakitori & they did not disappoint. We tried most of the meat options they had & they were all flavorful. We also ordered their Kobe beef plate, honestly we regret this one & would definitely skip it! I would stick to the yakitori! Overall a great place, I would definitely come back again!

Brian I.

This place is definitely a good experience as an introduction to someone who hasn't done a Japanese Omakase and/or someone that isn't into raw fish. The reason why is because this is an Omakase where the main ingredient they utilize is chicken and the price point isn't as high compared to sushi omakases. The best thing about Omakase is that you don't have to really look at the menu. The chef will serve you items that they suggest and you may even be able to try some new things. They will take you on a journey through different types of flavors and textures with the base of it primarily chicken. The omakase alone is pretty good, but you can also order additional dishes if you like. You may even come across something that you like and you can even order extra of that also. With the omakase and maybe one extra dish, I was pretty full so I wouldn't suggest to over order from the very beginning. We did the omakase with a sake pairing which is pretty nice when it comes to omakases. The drinks kind of bring you on a journey of flavors that can help pair with the food you're eating. Not to mention you also get to drink and eat at the same time which is always nice. We had a reservation right when they opened so it was pretty empty and chill. We noticed that some people didn't have a reservation, but since they weren't booked, they were able to seat them. The ambiance is pretty cool especially when you sit at the bar. You get to watch the chef grill skewers which can be similar to watching a bartender make several of your drinks.

Wowzer!!!! Probably one of my first only hit list here in LV but my it's visit has eluded me for a long while till finally now trying for first time and absolutely exceeded my expectations!!! Super unassuming location inside a large busy strip mall!! Actually was a difficult find and entrance was a little hidden to boot!!! But once you walk in you're immediately greeted and welcomed!! Super cute small space but loving the vibe!! Menu is definitely chicken focused but so many specials and great variety of deliciousness!!! I really loved the mushroom caps, chicken gizzards, skin, heart and Japanese sweet potatoes with butter!!! Oh and definitely get the duck/Foie gras!!! Very generous portions!! Stuff half of the FG piece inside duck and thee best one bite of the night!! Do not skip on the in house made tofu!!! Both the cold preparation and warm were excellent but the agedashi tofu on a bed of warm chicken broth was next level!! Highly recommend the very rare and usually never distributed ENZo wines....If you know you know only sold exclusively at their vineyards in Northern California with membership or only in Japan!! Definitely my go to for authentic Japanese skewers!! Highly recommend reservations!!! I was very lucky but called thirty minutes prior to opening and was able to secure contact and easy reservation!! My apologies for no food photos but consumed before realizing we didn't take any photos lol!!

Do they serve the mapo tofu there or not?

Yes I was able to order it last month in June

Is the sauce they use to dip all the skewers include soy sauce? Or can customers request it not be dipped. Someone in my party is gluten free/cant say soy sauce

Are they open on Sundays? On the website it says they are closed, but Yelp mentions they are open.

No they are close every Sunday

First, the service was fantastic. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and really on top of everything. The only slightly confusing part was that the servers seemed to share tables, so it wasn't always clear who your actual server was or who you were tipping. The food was delicious overall. I ordered the deep fried deviled eggs based on our server's recommendation, and they were probably my favorite thing we had. They had bacon and Sriracha on them and were fried to order, so they stayed perfectly crispy. Such a good combination! I also had the shrimp and grits. The grits were flavorful and cooked perfectly, but I was disappointed with the shrimp. They were quite small and honestly looked like frozen Walmart shrimp. For a $25 dish, I expected larger and more seasoned shrimp. That said, this is in the Arts District in Las Vegas, so I was expecting the prices to be a little higher going in. The pricing overall wasn't unreasonable for the area. The bottomless mimosas were $30 per person and they had five flavors to choose from. My favorite was the pineapple! They came out in a timely manner and had the perfect juice-to-champagne ratio, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was also really nice and made for a fun brunch experience. Overall, I had a good time and there were definitely some standouts, especially the service, deviled eggs, and mimosas. I don't think I'll necessarily be back, but I'm glad I tried it and would still recommend it if you're looking for a fun brunch in the Arts District.

So sad to see A Different Beast go! I saw that they've been open for quite a while now, but…read moreunfortunately I only recently discovered them a few months ago after seeing an Instagram reel. This spot isn't located in the best plaza as parking can be really tight due to how small it is. I initially came here with a few friends and did the Suave menu ($55 per person) because we couldn't decide whether to splurge or not, but was open to coming back if we enjoyed it. Although the menu is AYCE, for a first time experience, it was recommended to go down the list like a tasting menu. After going through the entire menu with the remaining time you have, you can re-order any of your favorites that you tried. Service was very quick and attentive. Every item came out in a timely manner to ensure that no time is lost! My favorites were the Spring Peas and Pulpo. A Different Beast is honestly a perfect date night or a girl's night out spot. My first experience was so stellar that I came back to try the Premio menu ($65 per person). Luckily when I came back, a few items had changed, but majority was the same. Off of this menu, my absolute all time favorite has to be the Foie Gras!! Sooo melt-in-your-mouth-buttery! It makes sense why it's a one time order only, sadly. My 2nd time visiting wasn't as mind blowing due to already knowing what to expect but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. A Different Beast is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience and I wish there were more AYCE tapas places like this!

We chose the highest price prix fixe set of $65, which includes one Foie gras tapas. This was my favorite one. My other favorites would be the Txaka, which is a crab salad, Spring Peas, Scallop Ceviche, and the Iberico Jamon Bellota. Least favorite were the Atun y Tomate and Morcilla con huevos de Codorniz (blood sausage). I would given it 5 stars but the chef uses small toast rounds for almost every dish. I guess this makes you full but it became repetitive and sometimes overpowered the actual dish.
