The bartenders have been polite to me and my group the both times I went there. I finally got around to trying their infamous drink-in-a-huge-plastic-syringe called the Zombie Antidote. The mix had vodka in it, so it was going to be bitter but had enough of other sweet things to it that made drinking from a syringe enjoyable. I wish I was able to keep the syringe, though (seems like they dont let you keep them). I also tried their Double Tap, and I think a drink called Lost Vegas. The former is a another sweet mix, and it even has pop rocks in the drink. The latter is sweet as well and tasted like an alcoholic version of soda or so. Their pizzas are pretty good, and I liked how they had a zombie theme to it as well. I forgot what pizza I ordered, but the flavors really popped with the garlic and herbs or so. As for the music? I was expecting that fit the theme more, you know? When I went there on both occasions, they had dubstep music playing and other stuff I cant even comprehend. Ugh, where the hell is the White Zombie or The Cramps playlist? Even the dubstep version of Rob Zombies "Dragula" would do. As I mentioned earlier, I went here twice: the first time was on a Saturday night, the week before Halloween and the second time was on a typical Monday night. Now I dont know if it was just for some sort of Halloween special or not, but one of their bartenders was dressed up as a psychobilly chick and I thought that was pretty cool. There seems to be more people on the weekends than on weekdays, but thats to be expected. Monday night was really quiet, even when 10PM hit. The End also hosts karaoke on these nights. I think it would be better to come here during the weekends or at least on Thursdays. I say Thursday because thats when The End hosts its Goth/Industrial nights--this place seems to be the new home for Carpe Noctem. For those who dont know what Carpe Noctem is, theyre one of the few goth/industrial gatherings here in Las Vegas that are struggling to stay alive (we really dont have a huge alt scene here in Vegas, unfortunately). They used to be located at a different bar before moving here. This is when The End has the most amount of patrons coming over to hang and party, so definitely try going to their Industrial nights if you can (plus Im sure they would play better music on these nights, especially ones that fit the horror theme more). (P.S. I asked one of their bartenders during their karaoke night if they have some Misfits songs on their playlist, and the guy said that I was cool for liking horror punk. So if youre spooky kid and you think you have what it takes to scream DIE DIE DIE MY DARLING 10x better than Metallicas cover of the song, then by all means request for some Misfits songs to sing.)

Staff was fine at first until they told me its obvious ive never been to a place like this. First of all. I have more experience with fine foods than they can even fathom and am fluent in the cuts of every four legged animal for this is what I do for a living. Confusing atmosphere. Edm/rap music. Calm down. Food was mediocre. Hanger steak didnt taste like the plate cut or diaphragm, but more like the flank cut. The tongue tasted like the cow lived in an indoor farm and got no exercise and ate poorly and this was evident by the ammount of white on the cut.The fried foods were over fried to where you only tasted the low quality oil. The scallops tasted as if they were tank farmed. This is a place to fool the inexperienced into thinking its great quality when its poor quality. $140+ bill, I expected more.

This is the best japanese bbq in town! It is a little pricey compared to the AYCE places nearby because the portions are smaller, but everyone should try this at least once! The meats are all marinated perfectly. They always have promotions going on and all day happy hour on Monday and Wednesday every week. Definitely download their app if you are coming to eat because each time you do you gain points and can get free items by scanning your receipt! Surprisingly each time Ive been there I have had a different server, but they are all very attentive. Dont forget to set a reservation though, they always have a wait.

Tasty Japanese bbq, a huge variety with reasonable prices. Food is grilled and steamed on the table. Mondays is happy hour all day. Food is very tasty, staff friendly and restaurant nice decorated. A little minus goes to the music. Its weird to sit in a Japanese restaurant and listen to electronic dance music. Also, please check the food thats going out of kitchen, otherwise you wouldve seen the bug on the ice cream!

Im typically not a fan of cooking my own food at a restaurant, but when combined with $8 large pots of hot sake (about 14 shots each jug), the cooking experience was actually fun. Great late night environment, we ate at around 11PM on a Friday. The food was delicious, and the specials for two had plenty of food. Service was similar to other Japanese restaurants... not poor, not outstanding. Perfectly adequate.

This place is excellent for price and quality. A great value for Japanese/Korean BBQ. I actually like it more than Korean places because I hate pickled stuff, and all the side dishes at Korean joints are pickled. Just my preference though. My favorites here are the Pork Gyoza, Edamame Infusion and the Beef Toro...I load up on that stuff. So good.

I have been a long time customer, but tonights service was mediocre. Sorry to say in my 10 + years of being a customer have I ever felt so unhappy. My husband feeling very uncomfortable as he walked out cause our server had yet to come collect our check and payment. Also my reward was not properly applied to our check hence a long wait and delay.

Back in california we liked to eat at a place called honda-ya which was as good as it gets for japanese grill-top cooked meats gets. Here in Vegas their answer to Honda-Ya is Gyu-Kaku and the selection of meats is great and they even offer a happy hour so you can get your grubb on even more. Service is great and the meat is always fresh.

New favorite spot, got there in time for Happy Hour, I love the look of this place, reminds me of a restaurant youd see in a movie, just some good angles, light placement, and windows. All the food was top notch, drinks were sooo delicious. Surprisingly not busy during the time I went its a great place to start the night!

This is my favorite place in Vegas! Not only is it fun to BBQ your own food, the food is also delicious! Unless you burn it! Haha.. The salad is to die for. And dont forget to get the fried rice. I think its called bimbami or something. Come at lunch time for awesome lunch deals. Yum!!!!!

This place is amazing! We had such a great experience. Weve never grilled our own food at a resaurant before. The meet was fresh and delicious. The marinade was spectacular. There wasnt a bad thing about our lunch experience. The staff was so nice and we didnt have to wait long for our meal.

Amazing food, with each table having a grill in it for personal grilling. High quality food with great tasting appetizers. Wait staff was extremely helpful when a problem came up. Manager took very good care of us. Lunch specials, and happy hour make it.even more attractive. Very clean.
