Hon Izakaya Lounge

"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!"

"A very mixed bag. Good: the sushi is extremely fresh and tasty, they have video poker at the bar, it is pretty inside Not good: the staff seems to all be new, our order was mixed up, no one could give a clear answer to questions, we weren't given our card back. The chicken karage was more like chicken nuggets. Still not clear on their comp drinks for video poker policy."

"Great food, family run prices are half from the strip. Quality Sushi and Ramen. Fast service and pleasant atmosphere. I would go back."

"Amazing experience!! We arrived at 1am. I much appreciated the late closing hour. Wonderful hosts. Very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was great. So great that it was mostly gone before I even thought to take pictures. The chef came out to inquire as to how we liked the meal at the end of our dining experience. Everything was very tasty. The okonomyaki was a table favorite. We also got various skewers and appetizers. If I am ever in the area again, I will absolutely make it a point to come back."
