Recently moved to the neighborhood i went to check out a restaurant with good reviews but found a filthy place with mediocre food. Sushi was the best part of what we had yet it was just a grocery store quality sushi. Looks like all good reviews are related to a previous owner/chef. Place was empty and nothing like in the pictures.

AMBIENCE: A giant sakura tree in the middle is pretty cool, tables are meant to be for groups. A separate area is the bar/lounge.FOOD: Food was good, nothing really stood out though.OVERALL: My friend and I had the entire place to ourselves, both due to the time we went, 12am on a Thursday, and the construction on Decatur.Parking: CAUTION: There's construction going on Decatur. Make sure to enter on W University Ave thorough the smog check

What a fantastic introduction to Vegas. We came here because I had pinned it on my list of places to eat in the area during my travels. Turned out to be less than a mile from my hotel (Orleans).The atmosphere is immaculate. I love the cherry blossom trees in the center of the restaurant and it feels like you’re in a real Izakaya.We ordered veg tempura for an appetizer and it arrived on an adorable robot. It was fresh and delicious. We also had the miso soup and it was gone in about ten seconds, haha.I ordered the Japanese lasagna for my entree, a baked sushi roll. It had such a unique and delicious flavor, like no sushi roll I’ve tried before.During our meal, the owner came up to do a quality check. I knew immediately that he was a kindred soul - he had a huge smile and such warm energy. We started talking about travel and our love for driving across country. We probably chatted for 20+ minutes and it made the experience so memorable and enjoyable that I doubt l’ll ever forget it.Alex is truly awesome - so hospitable and kindness. I plan to stop in again before we leave Vegas to buy another delicious milk tea and bid Alex a “see you later.”Stop in here - food is delicious and they are such good people. Our waiter was excellent and attentive as well. They even brought the robot over to sing happy birthday to us just for fun :)Thank you, Hon Izakaya Lounge!

Love love love this place! I always try to get here when I’m in town. Amazing and great sushi, excellent service, and normal “not on the strip” pricing makes this a must-visit spot.
Okonomiyaki and skewers, that's all I gotta say!!Give it a try, life is too short not to explore even if the place isn't 'perfect' , you never know when you'll find that dish you fall in love with !

We are so excited to try this new Izakaya lounge place, food was amazing, excellent quality and great service!
Came here tonight with my best friend and our 4 kids. My son found this place on tiktok and it did NOT disappoint. Everything was fantastic right down to the miso soup. Best I ever had. Everything tasted like it was made with care. Fried rice fantastic! Sushi so good.Cocktails on point.The staff was very sweet and attentive. They have the robot helping serve the food, that our kids loved. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated.A great hidden gem.

The entrance is pretty cool, 2 doors for the bar and restaurant. We went in through the restaurant. Our server Vicky was sweet and attentive. She gave us some recommendations of what she personally enjoyed. We ordered a lot of appetizers. This has the best tempura for flavor, crispness and texture. We had the soft shell crab as well as shrimp and veggie combo. Great sauces. Good takoyaki. We also ordered skewers, my favorites were beef and beef tongue. Great ambience and there is also a Vicky 2.0, the robot server.
