A Different Beast

Delicious food and wonderful experience. It was quiet and not too crowded. I tried this place for the first time with my friends who came up from LA to celebrate the new year and their minds were blown from how good the food was. Miranda took good care of us throughout the night. I would especially recommend the croquetas de jamon, Waygu albondigas, Spanish octopus, and seared foie pintxos. The foie just melts in your mouth. We ordered 2 desserts - churros and crema congelada - and both were wonderful. Thanks for the great experience!

Glad we made the drive from a Centennial for this delish spot! Service, ambiance, food, cleanliness - all awesome ! Don't miss out!My favorites were the pork, pan con tomate, albondigas and the cheesecake! We will be back.

Stellar food, friendly staff, great vibes. Without question some of the best food I've had in Vegas.Chef Justin even came by to say hi at the end of our meal and share a bit about his story and history with the cuisine. Very cool to learn more about Spain (and get some great recommendations for next time I go visit).Already looking forward to the next time I'm in town, just so I can stop in for a meal. Fantastic!

Service on point. Parking was easy (I can see it getting packed once Chicha San Chen is in business).A nice restaurant specializing in food from the Northern Spain region. The food was delicious, but fairly salty - I think that's just how tapas are generally with all the cheeses and meats. Definitely would pair well with a drink.My favorites would have to be the Bocata de Calamares and the Homemade Basque Cheesecake. A bit on the pricier side, so it'd be a great place for anniversaries, birthdays, or any other special occasion!

Came in Friday evening and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The restaurant decor was nice and the service was attentive and informative. All the tapas we tried were delicious. I especially liked the octopus and meatballs. The place has lots of potential and I hope more people go to try it out! I know we'll be back :)

Beautiful ambiance, real authentic Spanish tapas dish. And they have unique push car service just like the dim sum. Every dish we ordered is absolutely delicious. The price is also very reasonable. Better experience than we were in Barcelona. Plus excellent service this is a hidden gem.

A Different Beast was absolutely spectacular! Was invited to dinner by a dear friend for dinner and the food was amazing! Tapas style serving which is always fun to have small bites and then circle back to your favorites. Honestly I couldn't select a favorite, I enjoyed it all! They have a nice wine list as well as a great mimosa bar! Loved that! We started with mimosas and went to wine and both were amazing. I can't remember the servers name but she was the sweetest person and so attentive! I gave her a nice tip, she was amazing. The bus staff and the manager were so gracious too! Definitely great energy with great food! The restaurant is nice and has great seating and a bar as well which is nice. I didn't ask if they had happy hour, they are fairly new so it may be there or come down the line possibly. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen in a restaurant and I am constantly dining out.I can't wait to return!

I had an outstanding dining experience at A Different Beast! Their tapas and pintxos selection is remarkable. The pintxos with buttered white peaches were my favorite --each bite was a delightful mix of sweet and savory. The manchego cheese with honey mango was also great, perfectly balancing rich and fruity flavors. Additionally, the Croquetas de Jamon Iberico were really good, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The service was polite and nice, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to savor delicious tapas and pintxos!

A strong 4.5 star rating!!!After visiting the Basque region, been looking for basque cuisine especially Pintxos. Another great addition at Las Vegas Chinatown, took over space that MordeoLV and Osaka Sunset. They made the place look bigger by removing the big bar in the middle of the restaurant. One minor thing- after leaving the restaurant, you will smell like cooked food- so if you have plans after dinner- you may think it over. But not a problem since we were heading home. Service is very welcoming and helpful- Will and Alex. Initially thought menu was very limited so we tried most of it. But the bring a cart with different pintxos - term for tapas eaten in Northern Spain- Basque region. Surprising the had about 10-12 pintxos you can choose and noted to have weekly rotations- which is great to hear. Some of our favorite pintxos were crab with caviar, foie gras, the traditional skewer(anchovy, olives, piquillo pepper), steak skewer, and mixed mushrooms. I think we practically tried everything in the love. For the tapas- Really loved the croquette, brava patatas is excellent, and mushroom dish was amazing. Tried all plate dish and I would recommend both the octopus and steak dish. The clam rice dish was ok- a little salty for us. They have a selection of wines and sangria but loved the off menu red wine with Mexican Coke. They do have Txacoli. We celebrate a friend's birthday and they gave us a scope of lemon bar ice cream with a candle. Tried all the desserts- they were good but we like churros the best. The basque cheesecake is more egg tart like not similar to LaVina is San Sebastián. The cream Catalan was demolished by my son. Highly recommend this tapas/pintxos restaurant. Can't wait to try other rotation pintxos and hope they continue to add on to the menu. Best of luck!!!!

Outstanding meal! Definitely will be a repeat visitor on our trips to Vegas.Where to start? Food was exceptional and unique. The Iberian pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender and had a unmatched flavor (imported acorn-fed pork from Spain). The octopus was soft (not chewy like so many places) with a delicate, salty sea flavor. Both of these main dishes are the kind you will not find elsewhere, and chef is clearly skilled.The tapas and pintxos were also a treat. The mushrooms had an amazing flavor and came perfectly cooked with a poached egg to add some richness. The endive salad was refreshing. On top of that, we tried almost all of the pintxos. They are very small servings - we split each dish into two bite-size halves that my wife and I shared. The best, by far, was the foie gras. Just a simple grilled piece served on toast. Fantastic, and something we can't get in California. The only drawback was parking, which was a bit of a struggle due to a boba shop in the center that had a ridiculous line of people. Just be patient and a spot will open.
