A: pros... great place to have some tasty japanese food while in las vegas. this is a traditional little japanese restaurant in a strip mall. got here purely by luck, my group was looking for some sushi and we just happened to be in the "chinatown" area of las vegas. and just noticed the sign which struck me as typically japanese in writing style. the inside is very nice, family run restaurant. nothing fancy but neat, clean and presentable. we were seated on a long table with a bench along the wall and chairs opposite it. and any place which has food items written in the native (non-english) is alright by me. the food was tasty and had a lot of choices: ramen (noodle soup), don-buri (some meat over rice), sushi, yakitori (grilled meat on a stick), and the small little plates kinda of like japanese dim sum, but more to be eaten with beer or alcohol. they also had some unusual dishes such as, omurice, omelette over rice, and okinomiyaki, japanese style pancake. their alcohol selection is also very nice, with a choice of beer, shochu, chu-hi, and sake as well. all in all a very complete menu. me my buddy henry got all the yakitoris, about 8 varieties, there was also a nice selection of ramen. my wife ordered the shoyu or soy sauce broth, which had a nice soup base and had 3 slices of cha-shu pork as well as a bevy of bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, green onions, and a sheet of nori (red laver, kelp). my buddy the wyster got the tantan noodles, which were hot and spicy, chopped meat with soybean paste and lots of chili peppers. my other buddies, mike and shay, ordered the sushi, which was great. they have some pretty unique rolls and a lot of deep fried makis as well. all in all the food was very delicious and came out pretty fast. so if you are looking for some japanese food in las vegas and you are around chinatown, come to this place, you will not be dissapointed. and they are open until 2 a.m. every night, or is that morning? cons... parking is tight, and not too many spaces for the size of the mall, but i think there was more underneath or behind the mall. oh the bathroom was clean but the toilet in the men's bathroom was missing the top of the commode, so when you flush it you get a little spurt of water, funny but interesting.

A: We went there Motzi Shabbos 12/25/2010, with my son, daughter-in-law and their two children. I went to ask to clear messy tables so we could sit down and eat. I was informed that they would only do take out. When you are in a hotel, it is hard to do take out and have warm food. The waiter asked me if we wanted food to go. Before I had a chance to answer, he gave a sigh and walked away from me. I will never step foot there again and tell anyone who asks for kosher food in Las Vegas, not to go there.

Q: negative

A:
Aj's isnt one of my favorite groceries stores but this location in particular I really don't like only because when I go to Ajs I generally go to the bakery and there's only one person who actually makes good hot chocolate. This morning I went in for hot chocolate and a blonde woman helped me. After I payed for my things and walked outside I tasted it because the only person that makes a decent hot chocolate is the brunette with the glasses. So of course it just tasted like hot milk. I went back in and politely asked for more chocolate syrup. The blonde says "ok well I already put 2 and a half pumps in there, but I guess if you want more..." I replied, "Yes. Please." Ok lady! I didn't ask how many pumps you put in it. You tell me you put 2 and a half pumps am I supposed to be like 'ohhh you did? Ok nevermind' and leave? This bakery is a joke. No customer service skills. This excludes the nice lady with the glasses though. She should be managing this section if she isn't already.
