Kiki Izakaya is set to bring Japanese flair and deliciousness to the Las Vegas Valley. According to a Clark County permit, the Japanese eatery is expected to open in the Spring Valley/Enterprise area of southwest Las Vegas at 5255 S Decatur Blvd Ste 118-119.

MG North LLC, which was listed on the permit, is at the helm of the opening. Takashi Segawa runs the business. What Now Las Vegas reached out to Segawa to learn more about the exciting new addition to Las Vegas’ diverse dining scene. Unfortunately, we did not hear back by the time of this publication.

Kiki Izakaya is a modern Japanese fusion restaurant in Bangkok’s Ratchaphruek (Thonburi) area that officially opened its doors in mid-2024. Rather than mimicking a traditional, cramped, dark Japanese pub, KIKI IZAKAYA features a contemporary, spacious, highly photogenic environment tailored to younger crowds seeking a vibrant nightlife vibe. The restaurant crafts its homemade Kushiyaki (skewered meats) over premium Binchotan charcoal for an authentic smoky flavor profile. Instead of standard pub fare, they focus on playful East-meets-West dishes like Nori Carbonara with Crispy Bacon, Udon Mentai Cream Cheese, and Salmon Peach Ceviche.

Kiki (frequently referred to as Kiki Izakaya) is also a highly acclaimed Japanese gastropub in Cincinnati’s College Hill neighborhood. The husband-and-wife culinary duo, Chefs Hideki and Yuko Harada, founded the restaurant. The eatery officially opened its doors in August of 2019.

No word yet on whether all three are related. The new Kiki Izakaya set to open in Las Vegas doesn’t have a website or social media page yet. Without an online presence, it’s hard to say exactly what they’ll offer. But we’re sure that as we inch closer toward opening, more will be revealed. So keep your ears perked and your eyes peeled for the latest.

Kiki Izakaya is anticipated to open in southwest Las Vegas at 5255 S Decatur Blvd Ste 118-119 sometime next year.
