“ This is what makes offStrip Vegas dining unique and great. Admittedly, Ive been out of the dining scene in Chinatown for a couple years. Driving down to GYU Dinner club on a Saturday night was memorable. The streets were alive, the lights were bright, and the parking was horrible. This part of Vegas has come a long way in five years. Now you have top level and world class chefs that cut their teeth in mega resorts all over town, plying their trade amongst the very knowledgeable local foodies. We were lucky because the owner and his partners are considered friends and they remembered us. They greeted us outside the restaurant with a welcoming smile. The GYU Sando restaurant I knew from many years ago still exist in the front of the shop, now completely refurbished, elegant, and tasteful. We were led to the back past the open kitchen where there was a rather small room that maybe accommodated 40 to 45 people, set up in a dinner club style. A long table dominated the center, but there were very comfortable booths all along the side, where we took our seats. My wife and I enjoyed an incredible Napa Valley Merlot to start, and the dishes started coming out. Starting out with a salmon tartare with an elegant Quail egg to mix and the usual accoutrements. We had a bit of everything, with the grand finish of an epic Wagyu Japanese sandwich, otherwise known as a Sando. The soft milk bread, combined with a soft, fatty Wagyu sliced to perfection melted on the first bite. In between, we enjoyed a memorable and well seasoned sliced scallop as well as a serviceable and very tasty Seabass with an excellent cream sauce. We finished the night with dessert, and great conversation with the staff. Lets highlight places like this where knowledgeable and attentive staff, who are passionate about the food and passionate about their service makes the entire night worth it. Im told that the dinner club is only three nights a week for now, but will expand to serve the oncoming demand, no doubt. The small space makes this place intimate and memorable. More importantly, the demand is only going to go up. I wish these guys the best, and am thankful for a very memorable date night with my wife. We both enjoyed the entire experience. Looking forward to spending another fantastic dinner here soon. ”

“ We recently stopped by this gem after seeing it on social media. Im a frequent traveler to Japan and if you love sandwiches there then you have to try this place. When we first arrived the owner Lewis greeted us and made some recommendations based on our tastes. We decided to get The Lulu Sando Box so we could try a variety of their sandwiches. It really wasnt long after where we were able to dive into the food. The Spicy Chicken was cooked to perfection. It was juicy and the slaw was made perfectly to compliment the chicken. The Egg Sando was very nicely done with large chunks of egg in the sandwich that I really enjoyed. The Steak Sando was prepared very well. The Steak is of higher quality so that when you bite into it the meat is not tough where you have to really get into it. The meat is soft enough where you can actually get a bite of bread and meat with every bite. The restaurant has more things to come as there is also a back area that they are building out to expand their offerings. Not to mention the bathrooms are tastefully done and gives me Japan vibes. I hope this place stays open for years to come. The staff and the food is truly amazing. I will not hesitate to come back. ”

“ Im obsessed with this hidden gem! Hands down, the best Japanese sandos in Vegas. The topquality ingredients transported me straight to Japan. But what truly made our experience exceptional was the warm hospitality. The managers passion for Japan shone through in our conversation, and his genuine interest in our love for the culture truly warmed my heart. The customer service here is Michelinstar worthy! The shops aesthetic is also noteworthy the artwork and decor are stunning, and the bonsai tree in the corner adds a lovely touch. Its clear the owner takes pride in every detail. If youre a Japan enthusiast or just a foodie, this place is an absolute mustvisit! ”

“ Very attentive service, the steak sandwich was phenomenal, very tender, bread toasted just right, great sauce and caramelized onions. The pork belly was pretty good, came with pickled radish and carrots ”

“ This was probably the best sandwich Ive ever had. Beef with onion jam on the softest bread ever. Reasonably priced for what you get. Staff was fantastic. They have an awesome private dining experience opportunity if youre looking to host an event. ”

“ My first time there last week and OMG! every dish was delicious. We went there for dinner. The decoration and the atmosphere are super cute! Food presentation is beautiful like we were at a fancy restaurant on the strip but the prices are much cheaper. Definitely be back again for their special menu. ”

“ They have melt in your mouth steak and delicious egg sandwiches. Ive never eaten chicken so tenderly cooked. We went to eat here twice and the quality didnt change the second time. Were revisiting again soon. ”

“ A MUST try. A new place in Chinatown Las Vegas. GYU is a hidden gem. It looks like a sandwich place in the front but has a hidden Fine Dining in the back. We had 4 course meal for Valentines Day appetizer, 2nd courseRed Snapper Crudo, 3rd course Prime Tomahawk Steak with potato pave, house made salad, Desert The ambiance is so beautiful and romantic with live Jazzy Blues music. Their main singer Sage has awesome Sade vibe. Definitely try dining on Friday Saturday night.! ”
