Six New Restaurants in Las Vegas Offer Takeout and Delivery Only in the Gateway District

Ghost kitchens, those restaurants offering takeout and delivery only without seating, became all the rage during the pandemic, and now five newcomers bring a range of foods in Downtown’s Gateway District, just west of the Stratosphere. Japanese sandwiches and rice boxes, Hawaiian plate lunches, mochi doughnuts, jerk dishes, clever Indian sliders, and chicken wings find a home in one location at 333 W. St. Louis Ave. But all only offer takeout and delivery.

Gyu+ offers Japanese-inspired sandwiches and rice boxes. Togarashi chips; sandwiches with mushrooms, wagyu beef and truffles, eggs, steak, and chicken; and boxes filled with veggies and rice, Iberico chorizo and rice, or pork belly and rice make up the menu.
