After getting its start in a cloud kitchen and then, after growing to share the kitchen of local restaurant Italio, GYU+ is ready to bring its “sandos, bowls, and more” to its first brick-and-mortar location. The brand, created by restaurateurs and fans of Japanese cuisine Freddie Paloma and Luis DeSantos after a number of visits to Japan, began as a pandemic passion project and is now set to open at UnCommons, the much-anticipated upcoming mixed-use community by Matter Real Estate Group.
Paperwork recently submitted to Clark County estimates a budget of $220,000 for work in an 852 sq.-ft. space at 8533 Rozita Lee Ave.
GYU+ offer has offered delivery from a streamlined menu that includes sandwiches like the Steak Sando (1/2 lb. of beef filet, onion jam, secret sauce & shokupan bread) and the Veggie Sando, also with onion jam and secret sauce, plus other dishes like Freddie’s Fried Rice (Spanish iberico chorizo, koshihikari white rice, sriracha, bell peppers, garlic & truffle oil) and the Pork Belly Rice Box (braised berkshire pork belly, koshihikari white rice, furikake, pickled daikon & carrots). For dessert: the Green Tea Bread Pudding Box.
No updates to the menu to accompany the opening of the UnCommons location have been announced. The precise opening date of the location is unknown.
