Fremont
East Entertainment District in Downtown Las Vegas has welcomed a new resident
with Itsy Bitsy: Ramen and Whisky, an intimate Asian restaurant and bar,
located at 150 N. Las Vegas Blvd. at the base of The Ogden.
Itsy
Bitsy is born from a dynamic partnership between Corner Bar Management Group,
the company behind Park on Fremont, Commonwealth, Due & Proper and Whist
Stove & Spirits; DJ Five, one of Las Vegas’ top DJs; and Downtown Project.
“DJ
Five and I have a friendship that was built on our love of food,” said Corner
Bar co-owner, Ryan Doherty. “Opening a restaurant that combines our talents is
something that has been in the works for years, and the space at The Ogden
couldn’t be a better fit to open Itsy Bitsy.”
Located
in the space formerly occupied by Wild, the new dining destination joins the
ranks of other outstanding Downtown Project small business investments
including EAT, Carson Kitchen, Bocho and many more.
“Itsy
Bitsy will be a great addition to the ongoing revitalization efforts of our
flourishing neighborhood,” said Downtown Project’s Executive Vice President of
Operations, Michael Downs. “We look forward to the continued growth of our
partnership with Corner Bar through this and other future projects.”
Quirky,
colorful and full of flavor, Itsy Bitsy combines mixology, art and design,
which have become signature qualities of Corner Bar’s concepts. The menu,
executed by Executive Chef Ricardo Romo, is simple but satisfying, in offering
a blank canvas for patrons to create their own ramen bowl through three steps:
1. “Pick Your Noodle,” 2. “Pick Your Broth,” and 3: “Choose Your Topping.”
Plus, Itsy Bitsy offers an array of other selections, including Japanese Wakame
seaweed salad, Gyoza dumplings, garlic edamame; an array of hand rolls
including Kurobuta sausage and spicy tuna; and design-your-own rice dishes.
Itsy Bitsy’s dishes will be made with modern techniques and locally-sourced
ingredients.
Itsy
Bitsy features an extensive beverage menu, complete with masterfully mixed
cocktails handcrafted by mixologist Daniel Marohnic, best known for the highly
revered cocktail menus at Commonwealth and The Laundry Room. The intimate venue
also features craft beers, Japanese sake and an array of Japanese whiskeys.
Mixing classic Japanese spirits with flavors from around the world, Itsy Bitsy
offers libations to rival any modern spirit bar.
Named
for its 2,500-square-foot footprint, Itsy Bitsy’s decor combines modern and old
world sensibilities with an Asian tinge, filled with black-stained reclaimed
woods and copper accents. Designed by Doherty, the convivial interior will be
complemented by a playlist curated by DJ Five.
Itsy
Bitsy is open for lunch and dinner, daily, as well as for late-night service on
select nights. More information is available on the website at
www.itsybitsyramen.com, Facebook at www.Facebook.com/ItsyBitsyLV, Instagram@ItsyBitsyLV and Twitter @ItsyBitsyLV. Itsy Bitsy offers takeout as well as
deliver to residents at The Odgen.
