Aburiya Raku

An intimate robatayaki spot on Spring Mountain Road in Chinatown, famous for its house-made tofu and charcoal-grilled skewers, and a favorite late-night hangout for Strip chefs.

Opened in 2008 by Mitsuo Endo in the Chinatown area on Spring Mountain Road, this spot uses binchotan charcoal for its grilled items and serves them alongside oden, making it a popular late-night spot for industry insiders after work. The house-made tofu and the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside agedashi tofu are highly praised, while foie gras, soft-boiled egg, and yellowtail sashimi are also common favorites. The Chef's Tasting Menu requires a phone reservation at least three days in advance. The space is small, so reservations are highly recommended and may need to be made weeks in advance for weekends; parking is limited. Prices start around $25 per person but can go much higher depending on what you order. Closed on Sundays; about a 10-minute drive from the Strip.
