Izakaya Yagiya — Restaurant in Spring Valley

What a disappointment. We had family in town so organized a dinner here for six people for the last night.

I’ll put the food aside for a bit. It’s a bit overpriced for what it is and portion size, but that’s not why I’m rating it so low.

We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share and everyone ordered one entree each, ranging from hamburger steak, ramen, udon, and three chirashi.

Six people, six entrees.

First, my pet peeve is when things don’t come out in order. Appetizers came out in an orderly fashion, but then the udon came out.

Then for 8 minutes, nothing else. So the person eating the udon was done.

Then the ramen came out. Okay…?

Another 10 minutes later, the hamburger steak came out.

Then for 10 minutes, nothing.

The people eating the udon, ramen and hamburger steak are finished. I ask about it, and they say it’s being prepared, claiming it takes awhile.

It’s a raw dish. Was it really that hard to match the cooked dish to when the raw dishes were to be finished so we could eat as a family?

Then… TWO chirashi come out while three of us are waiting.

I ask about the third one, and clearly, they didn’t include that order.

Unbelievable.

For a dinner that cost $330 (including an underserved tip, WITHOUT the final ~$40 chirashi included) — this is just so outrageous.

The ramen was good, but in Vegas, we have so many good ramen places. But for that, I’ll add one star for two total and I think I’m...

TL/dr: Good food, good vibe, amazing food prezentation and service. Recommendation: Takoyaki and Cold udon. Tuna hand roll value is low . Most of the food are better than your avarage. I had the takoyaki, homemade tofu, karaage, potato egg salad, Tomaranbo, tamagoyaki, cold udon and a Bluefin tuna hand rolls. Most meet my expectation but the highlight was the udon and the takoyaki. The cold udon was suprisingly tasty and reminded me of one of the Omakase that I had last year. Takoyaki can easily one of the best in Las Vegas. The supposely "bad" one of the meal was the tuna hand roll. It tasted okay, clean, just the value is a bit low. I will definitely be back another time to try the rest...

An Amazing Dining Experience!

Everything about this place was truly exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, and the staff were incredibly friendly and professional, explaining each dish with such expertise. Honestly, every single dish was so good that it’s hard to recommend just one—but if I had to choose, the Wagyu Hamburger Steak was an absolute standout.

I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Vegas. Highly...
