Ginza Izakaya Japanese Restaurant opened this spring in the Centennial (North West) part of Las Vegas Nevada. It’s a small restaurant that is only open for dinner.

If you get seated at a booth it is well lit but if you get seated in the main dining area you need to use your cell phone as a flash light. You can order a la cart or choose the multi course menu.

We started out with the chicken karaage (fried chicken appetizer).

The chicken tastes unseasoned and floury. The dipping mayo on the side doesn’t help much.

The Toro Nigiri – The fish has a melt in your mouth quality like from better sushi restaurants but the rice under the fish is loose and wet……..and falls apart.

The spicy tuna salad is good.

The hamachi Kama (fish collar). is severely over cooked to a point where the meat is dry and stringy. I don’t know how they cooked it but it seemed microwaved to me because I burnt my mouth trying to eat it stayed burning hot.

The shishito pepper skewer is delicious and very good and the same with the shiitake mushroom skewer.

The pork belly skewer is very dry.

The SPECTACULAR BITE was the wagyu skewer …..WOW it really was an amazing bite of delicious flavor and just melted in the mouth like butter. It seemed like it was from a $$$$$ restaurant…not a neighborhood restaurant.

My visit was a mix of hits and misses….so Good Luck!
