Kauboi Izakaya - Reno

The food is excellent. The server made me uncomfortable, trying to push a 4 to 5 option course, both times I was there. The place itself has some interesting decor. Overall a nice placeFood: 5/5

The food here is amazing. I liked every single thing I tried and I got like 8 things. However, it is definitely over priced for tapas. The music is too loud. I've seen enough people complain about it, so it would be nice if the owners took notice and decreased the volume slightly. The Drinks were really good. I tried to bring some friends here at 9:20pm on a Saturday, didn't realize they closed at 10pm, they didn't seat us, which is fine, but this place really needs to be open later.

This is NOT the place to take your date to. The music was so loud, we both spent the dinner yelling across the table. The waiter also had to yell for us to hear him and he said the owner liked the music at that volume so he couldn’t turn it down. Ok sure, but the food wasn’t even great to compensate for the bad atmosphere. We ordered the hamachi, yakitori, duck fried rice, and spicy miso ramen. The fried rice was the only thing that tasted amazing, the rest were just okay. All the portions were tiny and we were both still hungry at the end. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Papular Japanese grilled small plates diner, good Ramen noodles, and duck fry rice. But no warm sakes??

First time eating here and glad we got there at 5pm, there was a line of people waiting to get in. Service was good, the menu was a little hard to read with small letters and weird layout. Food was pretty good with small plates. Not really my style of eating but had to try it, my wife liked it and said she would eat here again. Definitely worth trying but get there early cause it fills up quickly with limited space.
