Raku in Las Vegas is Mitsuo Endo's Chinatown izakaya since 2008, a binchotan-charcoal robata room that drew chefs from the Strip on their nights off.
OrderThe agedashi tofu, made in-house daily, and a run of robata skewers picked at the counter.

OrderThe Hong Kong-style wagyu beef cheek over noodles; the dish has been on the menu since opening.
