The Best Sushi in Las Vegas
The off-Strip Chinatown omakase counters flying fish from Tokyo's Toyosu market — plus the Strip's marquee Japanese rooms, from a two-Michelin-star chef to Iron Chef Morimoto.
The best sushi in Las Vegas isn't on the Strip — it's a few miles west, in the Chinatown corridor along Spring Mountain Road, where intimate omakase counters fly their fish in from Tokyo's Toyosu market. The picks below are the city's reference rooms, each scored and verified by Dim Hour, led by YUI Edomae Sushi, widely considered the best omakase in town, and Wakuda on the Strip, the first U.S. restaurant from two-Michelin-star chef Tetsuya Wakuda.
A note on the format: omakase ("I'll leave it to you") is a chef-led progression of nigiri served one piece at a time across a small counter, no menu — usually a fixed price and a fixed seating time. "Edomae" is the Tokyo style, where the fish is aged, cured, or marinated rather than served straight from ice. The off-Strip Chinatown counters are where Vegas does this at the highest level; the Strip rooms are the splashier, more accessible option.
YUI Edomae Sushi
Widely considered the best omakase in Las Vegas. Chef Gen Mizoguchi runs a traditional Edomae counter off the Strip on Arville — a 17-course progression built on fish flown in from Tokyo's Toyosu market. Intimate and reservation-only; book on Tock.
Wakuda
Two-Michelin-star chef Tetsuya Wakuda's first U.S. restaurant, in the Palazzo lobby at The Venetian. Traditional-meets-modern Japanese with a private 10-seat omakase room, A5 wagyu, and one of the most design-forward dining rooms in the city. Book on Resy.
Kame Omakase
An off-Strip omakase destination in the Spring Mountain / Chinatown corridor — traditional Edomae sushi in an intimate 10-seat room that books weeks out. Alongside YUI, it's routinely rated among the top omakase experiences in Vegas. Book on Tock.
Kabuto Edomae Sushi
An 11-seat Edomae counter in Chinatown serving Tokyo-style nigiri with aged fish and hand-pressed shari. Omakase only, and — with YUI and Kame — one of the top three sushi counters in town. Book on Resy.
Morimoto
Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's flagship Vegas room at MGM Grand. The cooking runs more innovative than purist — Iberico-pork sous vide, the signature duck-duck-goose, whole fish carved tableside — with a dramatic open kitchen and an omakase counter.
Nobu
Nobu Matsuhisa's Caesars Palace flagship, attached to the Nobu Hotel since 2013. The hits are the canon — black cod miso, yellowtail jalapeño, the hot-rock dishes — across a teppan room, a sushi bar, and a central circular bar. The most accessible marquee name on the list.
