50 Best Japanese Restaurants in Las Vegas

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“celebrated my b'day on nov 13...great food great service loved it !!!“

“Easily the best food I have ever had and amazing dining experience. The staff was so friendly and made the experience so much better. The chefs are so cool and the wait staff are so attentive and friendly, I was blown away with how awesome they were. I highly recommend this establishment for your next fine dining experience.“

“Absolutely phenomenal place. The food quality was top notch, absolutely gorgeous plating with flowers, I felt like Im in Japan. Miss Kyra was the kindest hostess who took such an amazing care of us. I would go back just to say hi to her and the most fantastic staff. Definitely will go back.“

“I’ve been to every Yama location in town, but this one is the MVP. It’s the biggest, it’s open late, and the service is always efficient. Yama Sushi on Spring Mountain is not just a sushi restaurant - it’s a core memory. This was my first sushi spot when I moved to Vegas over 10 years ago, and since then, it’s been the site of raucous birthday parties, flirtatious dinner dates, and probably 50 pounds of salmon nigiri personally devoured. And if you’re planning a birthday dinner, this place is a great option because they have big tables and when everyone gets the same all you can eat deal, sharing rolls and splitting the bill is super easy.“

“had a amazing culinary adventure at Sushisamba! 🍣🍩 We indulged in their SATA ANDAGI - a delightful Japanese doughnut that's a perfect blend of sweet and savory. The dolce de leche flavor was absolutely divine! 😍 Paired with a variety of dips, each bite was a burst of flavor that left us craving for more.“

“awesome Japanese restaurant with fantastic food!“

“A Perplexity.ai query marked this place as #1 in Vegas. I called at 630p and got a 7p reservation.
This sushi is as fresh as you can get in this part of the country. Service is attentive, unobtrusive, and topped with helpful suggestions. Price points are fair.
They have a fantastic bar and excellent selection of wine, beer, saki, and cocktails.
We needed a moment to get through the menu- they present a broad selection that's worth spending some time on.
We went with-->
Truffle Sashimi Trio
Smoked Toro Sashimi
Chu Toro Roll
Great White Shark Roll
Crazy Salmon Roll
Fire In The Hole Roll... (spicy)

Expansive bar service virtually guarantees you'll get what you want. That said, even though you probably have a favorite, they offer signature cocktails that you should consider.

You will be greeted by owner, Joon. In that instant, you'll know you've picked the right place. They are ideal for couples and can easily handle large parties.
They use the team approach led by our server, David. For this meal, cadence mattered and he ran the timing with perfection. Thank you David! And thanks extended to everyone else who took such good care of us.

I'll recklessly throw out that like most tourists, we tend to stick to the strip. This trip is different by choice. Most of our meals are off and away from the strip. This choice was our best so far. An added bonus, Joon checked on us and shared some of the other local things we could try. A 5-minute walk about a block is Shanghai Square. Small boutiques and other shops are scattered between other eateries. What a great way for us to enjoy a low stress after dinner! There is a very unique shop with cool items that you'll have to see for yourself.
*We will be back this summe4 to check in on Joon, David and all the great folks at Taru.“

I almost gave up on crypto at some point not until saw a recommendation on Elon musk successfully success story and I got a proficient trader/broker Mr Bernie Doran , he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I'm not here to converse much but to share my testimony; I have made total returns of $10,500.00 from an investment of just $1000.00 within 1 week.

“The absolute best sushi anywhere in Las Vegas, and one of the three best sushi places I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I have traveled the world far and wide, and Sen of Japan is awesome.“

“I had a course menu with my colleagues. All dishes were really good, I wish they have some other locations but it’s only here. Definitely I will be back if I get next opportunity to visit Las Vegas.“

“I never was treat so nice in a restaurant like this one . The staff really know how to please a costumer. You guys are awesome ! obs. Japanese business is my priority choice for now on. thank you“

“Experienced Ton Ton Tonkatsu for the first time today during my visit to Las Vegas from Dallas, Texas. Everything was awesome! The little things make all the difference…. The gen mai cha was hot and tasted very fresh. The steamed rice and tsukemono (pickles) were crunchy and very tasty. The salad dressing was incredible too. Like I said, the little things are important. Then we had the kuro buta tonkatsu and it was amazing. Service was prompt and attentive. A new favorite for me. Will definitely go back on next visit to Las Vegas.“

“This place has been bookmarked for a few months now, and I finally checked it out today.

The interior was beautiful and the vibe was great. Everyone was really nice, and the service was excellent.

I ordered chicken hearts, A5 wagyu beef, and pork belly skewers. We also got the beef bowl, fried calamari, and spicy tuna roll.

The spicy tuna roll was on the smaller side and was just okay. The calamari and beef bowl were amazing. I finished the beef bowl fast.

The pork belly and wagyu skewers were absolutely outstanding! Tender and perfectly seasoned. They were so good that I went ahead and ordered more. They totally exceeded my expectations.

This place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Everything was fine, just not quite what we expected! It's an old Vegas restaurant and has been around the block a few times and it shows! It's very dark and a bit dreary with no windows so I think that affects the experience. We wanted both teppanyaki and sushi so sat at the grill and enjoyed the show Carlos provided! The menu is a bit overwhelming, no, I take that back, it's a lot overwhelming! Perhaps if they had a separate sushi menu and maybe a separate grill menu it would help. Our server had to come back 4 times in order for everybody at the table just to get through the menu! We ordered two sushi rolls along with a shrimp and a ribeye grill dinner. The sushi was good, each roll unique in both taste and appearance and the teppanyaki was delicious as well. Quite disappointed in the ribeye though, it was two very thin cuts of steak that as soon as they hit the grill they were cooked medium! Everything was enjoyable and the service was good, I'm glad we stopped by!“

“Just moved to this side of town so we were trying out all different restaurants. Small comfortable place to eat for locals, I think. Not too fancy or anything but clean and all waitresses were very friendly and nice. Interesting that I’ve noticed from this place, besides the one waitress who took our order from the other two waitresses were keep checking on our table to make sure we are taken care of. Food was very yummy too. Definitely, will go back again.“

“cute small place with 4 high tops with 2 seats and 1 rectangular table with 4 seat
they have a lot of choices
I wanted to the Unagi onigiri
It was very decently sized and flavorful
however it was kinda flimsy and the contents started to fall out the more you bite into it
Overall I would recommend“

“Awesome place. I got the $30 nigiri chef’s choice and is was a great experience (pic shows 11 pieces, but includes 18). The Chef even spoiled me with some Otoro and Uni. Seems like a really nice guy, and the server was great too, and most importantly, the fish was quality. Highly recommend, I’ll be back“

“Always good food and service. We love the diverse menu so everyone we go with enjoys dinner“

“Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere, great waitstaff always smiling and ready to serve, I eat there often“

“Hidden gem! Glad we found this place on accident! Fish is ultra fresh, fair pricing and friendly service! We Will be back for sure!“

“We experience the best Japanese cuisine at Soho last week. My family could not get enough of the Tuna, Salmon, Steak, brussel sprouts and even desserts. Just look for Justin, he was amazing, he tool very good care of us.“

“10/10 experience! Everything was perfect 😍“

“The price of the food is comparable to the quality, which was excellent. They are slightly expensive, but it is worth it. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy. The service is where they shine the most. Google said that they close at 2am. We got there at 11:30 and found out they shut down at midnight. They still served us with a smile and enthusiasm.“

“Food is delicious and good price for the money. It’s all you can eat. Our server Raymond was excellent. We will definitely go back again.“

“My family and I resllly enjoyed our late dinner at Yellowtail. Will make sure to come back when we’re in Vegas again. Thank you. 👍👏👏👏😊❤️“

“the food is scrumptious & friendly staff very attentive.“

“Incredible flavors, exceptional presentation and outstanding service. The atmosphere is elevated and refined and perfectly matches the flavors of Chef Jae. Japan level quality, right in Las Vegas. Without a doubt, this will be one of the best high-end sushi spots in the city.“

“Super friendly staff and the food so yummy“

“🥰🐶😺Good food just like the way they cook in Japan.“

“Delicious food at great prices! Decided to try something different and so glad we did. The yakisoba was fantastic as was my husband’s teriyaki bowl. Super convenient location for us as well! Looking forward to trying the whole menu.“

“Unbelievable service and the freshest fish prepared by the most skilled chefs. 5 stars“

“The food 10/10

I had the beef bowl and my husband had the chicken curry 🍛 .

My husband said this is the best curry he's ever had.

I loved the beef bowl, the meat was so tender and delicious.

We ordered egg rolls and takoyaki as well. The egg rolls were so delicious and fresh! The sauce that accompanied the rolls was so delicious.

The server/hosts were so kind and attentive. We did not feel rushed while eating and we received our food on time.

The bathrooms were fancy and clean.“

“Great new sushi restaurant. Some of the freshest fish we've had in town. Cool atmosphere and staff. The owner is a cool cat!“

“Food was excellent, presentation and taste were both top notch. Absolute gem in Vegas“

“Sushi is always so fresh! It's also my go to for Mongolian beef, even though I'm down the stret from Chinatown. The prices have gone up a little, but still worth it. The only dishes I don't care for on the menu are the noodles. Everything else is always great. I could just be picky though.“

“Worth a trip off the strip. I sat at the sushi bar and had about a dozen pieces of nigiri. Everything was perfect, but for me the standouts shima aji, chu toro, and saba. I like the way that - because I was at the counter - they served my order a couple pieces at a time rather than presenting a large plate of everything. Oishi.“

“I happened upon this place a year ago, the last time I was visiting Vegas, and I've been thinking about coming back ever since. The pork hire katsu curry was even _better_ than my expectations! One of the best katsu curry I've ever had. I can't recommend this place enough.“

“Hidden gem (you cannot tell anything from the outside until you enter the door) for authentic japanese snacks, drinks, toys, anime related items like cosplay costumes, figures, jackets, shirts. Also, they have fresh vegetables, fruits and freshly cooked food like bento boxes,side dishes and japanese desserts. They also have some gachapon machines.“

“Tomahawk with noodles very delicious ❤️❤️“

“The shabu shabu here is amazing! 🥩 Everything was fresh and flavorful. The broth was delicious and the meat quality was top-notch. Christina was super friendly and gave us excellent service — thank you for making our dinner so enjoyable!“

“Super friendly and the food was amazing!!! We will be back for sure!!!“

“It was fantastic. Great Tempura Experience. The ambiance was straight out of Tokyo. Please expand your hours soon to accommodate more customers and shorten the wait time. We will be back soon. Great deal. Get the Deluxe Combo.“

“We had a blast there. Tiger is an amazing chef and everything was delicious! If you’re looking for a family friendly atmosphere this is not the place to go. Will definitely go again!“

“First time dining here and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. We ordered the 1 dozen oysters, the Nori Lover, premium sashimi, Nori Signature Roll, and the crispy tuna rice (not pictured), and everything was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. The quality of the fish really stood out, and each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Service was excellent and made the experience even better. We will definitely be dining here again and highly recommend it to anyone who loves great sushi and seafood!“

“It was 10pm and I was craving a snack! We stumbled upon Toridokoro Raku. They had my favorite (tsukune) and the wing was so good too! Hana and Angela were AMAZING hosts, from when we called in to when we were seated we felt the hospitality and above and beyond service. Love a place that hits amazing food, amazing service, and amazing atmosphere!“
