In Chinatown, just a bit west of Pacific Asian Plaza on Spring Mountain Rd, Japanese okonomiyaki restaurant Fugetsu is getting ready to make an appearance. The chain, which has about 50 locations in Japan, is starting to grow stateside as well. Fugetsu currently has two US locations, both in California, and the upcoming Las Vegas location will be its third.
What Now Las Vegas confirmed the news with a representative of the company on Wednesday.
Fugetsu specializes in okonomiyaki, a dish originating in Japan’s Kansai region. Okonomiyaki is a bit like a savory pancake, with tasty ingredients like fresh vegetables, meat, fish, and shellfish mixed into the batter and then poured onto a griddle and topped with mayonnaise and a special sauce. Fugetsu’s website calls it a “Japanese incarnation of pizza or savory crepe.”
In addition to this okonomiyaki, the Chinatown location will offer an izakaya-style menu with a number of tasty small plates. The menu at the brand’s California locations has also featured dishes like Deluxe Yakisoba (all-in stir fried noodles with pork, squid, shrimp, scallops, and cabbage topped with an egg) and Negi Mayo Shiosoba, with squid, shrimp, scallops, cabbage, green onions and mayo.
Fugetsu is working to open on October 1 in Suite A at 5600 Spring Mountain Rd.
