Specializing in chicken yakitori & offering tasting menus
"Raku is one of the top Japanese restaurants in Vegas, with a menu of oden recipes and robata cooking. They import binchotan charcoal and condiments directly from Japan, and you can often find other chefs and hospitality workers eating here late (they’re open until 3am most nights). Call at least three days ahead to reserve a premium or deluxe omakase, which is the best way to have a meal here. Both tasting menus start with homemade tofu before the mixed appetizers, sashimi, grilled meats, a daily fresh fish, and dessert. Pair it all with something off their long sake menu." - emmy kasten
"From the team that brought Raku to Las Vegas, Toridokoro Rake is a foray into a chicken-focused bar. Skewers of every part of the chicken are grilled to perfection over charcoal, for an experience that is anything but basic. For the best experience, the omakase course for $75." - Krista Diamond
"Toridokoro Raku, a chicken-focused robata grill from Mitsuo Endo of Raku fame, opened in July inside the former Tatsujin X space near the Palms. While the small venue focuses on chicken yakitori dishes, it does feature a chef’s tasting menu for $75, or a premium version for $80 per person, along with a roster of sakes. Dishes that can be ordered individually include items from the robata grill such chicken heart, cartilage, gizzard, liver, neck, tail, breast with skin, and wing in the $4 to $5 each. The menu includes vegetable dishes as well with onion, sweet potato, pumpkin, or mushroom, each for $2.50 to $30. The robata kitchen includes a bar in front where diners can watch the action.Toridokoro Raku, a chicken-focused robata grill from Mitsuo Endo of Raku fame, opened earlier this month inside the former Tatsujin X space near the Palms.
