Wow. I brought my sister (visiting from out of state) and boyfriend after seeing so much hype on Instagram. Despite arriving before open, they had a line out of the door for take-out onigiri. The restaurant is quaint, resembling any classic hole-in-the-wall in Japan. I've visited several times, and my boyfriend lived in Okinawa for years, so we were very impressed. The line is long because of how tight the store is. There was a great selection, and we watched them continuously restocking. They give you a basket and you have fun making your selections. They were all tasty. Our favorites being the classic tuna, spicy tuna, and wagyu onigiri. It is take-out only, so we enjoyed them in the car. It was an authentic, tasty, and fun lunchtime experience. We cannot wait to be back! Note: they open take out at 1130, and not the listed 12. read more

I've had Chamon bookmarked for a while and was finally excited to try it. It was EDC weekend, so it was packed. We got there around 11:15 a.m. even though they didn't open until 12 p.m. My group ended up making the second round of seating and didn't get seated until about 1.5 hours later, but it was manageable since we could just put our name and number down and get a text when our table was ready. The downside was that by the time we were seated, all the onigiri had already sold out. Next time, I'd definitely recommend getting in line early to grab the onigiri first and then coming back when your table is ready. We did get lucky and snagged the last serving of the A5 Wagyu steak bowl, which was absolutely the highlight of the meal. I also ordered the negitoro ikura bowl with uni and snow crab, and both were really good, but the Wagyu bowl definitely stood out. Overall, I'd come back for that Wagyu bowl and hopefully next time I'll actually get to try the onigiri too! read more

Chamon - A5 Wagyu Bowl and Negitoro Ikura Bowel with Uni & Snow Crab - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

There's about 5 tables and some seats at the bar (very small inside), best if you make it early - I'd recommend getting in line by 11-11:30am. They have limited items including: - A5 waygu steak - 10 daily - negitoro bowls - 15 daily Must order: the premium bowl with uni, negitoro, snow crab and ikura. Their tempura bowls is also delicious - great quality, wished it was slightly crispier. Next time I'll try the onigiri - it's the same line if you want to just buy onigiris to go. read more

My review is solely on the onigiri to-go. I got there at 440pm, waited in my car with the a/c on for a little while until I saw a couple of people lining up. There were only 3 of us in line at 5pm. I've never been here for lunch so maybe dinner is less crowded? You tell me. I keep hearing how packed this place is but I didn't experience that at 5pm on a Thursday. We just had a huge meal from another resto nearby, so I decided I just wanted to pick up some food for later snackies. The restaurant is indeed small, with just a handful of tables. I have to try a sit-down meal here one day. I got pretty much 1-2 each of the available onigiri. I didn't see some of the ones in the photos I've seen on Yelp, but a good variety nonetheless. I wonder if they had it for lunch but ran out? Anyway.. on to the onigiri. I never knew rice could be so tasty! It was just sticky, savory, and satisfying. I agree with some comments that there could be more protein and an improvement in the ratio but the rice was enjoyable as well, my taste buds didn't suffer. My favorite onigiri was the salmon & ikura, it was sweet, savory, salty, minty.. how can something so simple, be so complex in flavors? I was already full off 1-2 onigiri but my gosh, I wanted to open them all up and try them all at once. These would be amazing snackies for a road trip or a movie. read more

Chamon - variety of onigiri to-go - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

It was good!!! I went for the onigiri and they did not disappoint! We didn't stay to eat there, we just grabbed what we wanted and left but the atmosphere seemed a little dark and moody. The we ordered some onigiri to go. The taste was good and filling. Those who were working were all so eager to help! Definitely great service! I can't wait to go back!! read more

I saw a huge line the last time I was in Vegas at Chamon so I definitely wanted to try. I saw that they have onigiri and a sit down. I was actually looking for something really quick to pick up, so I opted for to pick up some onigiri. The restaurant was busy but no wait for the onigiri when I came about 1 hour before closing at lunch. They give you a basket to shop for your items. There's a section upfront with all the onigiri. I picked up the salmon, tuna mayo and shrimp. I was in and out in about 10 minutes. There were a few items that were sold out which I was sad about, but enough selection for my take out order. I ate them whole charging my car and it was delicious! The ingredients were fresh and tasty and enough filling for the rice. My favorite was the shrimp. I definitely will come back here, the prices were super reasonable and for a quick takeout was so good. Maybe next time I will try the sit down also. read more

A few general words of advice... If you're planning to dine in for lunch, try to arrive early. They open at 12 PM and close at 3 PM, with last seating at 2:30 PM. Takeout follows similar timing -- expect to wait just like the dine-in customers. If it's past 2:30 PM and they can't seat you, they'll still let you place a takeout order for what's left, based on your spot on the waitlist. Note that tempura is not available for takeout -- only the fresh/raw bowls. If you're only coming for nigiri, expect a wait, but the line moves fairly quickly. On a recent Friday afternoon around 1:30 PM, we waited about 20-30 minutes. They bring people in small groups and give you a basket to carry your items. The nigiri itself is very solid. The seafood is noticeably fresher than what you'll find at most Japanese grocery stores or standard sushi spots. The salmon, for example, is cut from a proper fillet rather than pre-packaged -- the difference is obvious. As for the bowls, I tried their Original Negitoro Ikura + Snow Crab. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best fresh fish bowls I've ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh and juicy, especially the snow crab. For takeout, the components come separately so you'll need to assemble it yourself. They also give you a raw egg in the shell to mix into the sauce. I wasn't personally a fan of the sauce (it's quite salty), but if you like bold, salty flavors, you'll probably love it. read more

I can't speak on the ambiance as there was no seating available cause it was a TINY restaurant... BUT... Food - 10/10 The onigiris we had were amazing. My favorite was the bonito rice with the half egg. So smoky in the best way. The rest were great too. Service - 10/10 It was fast getting everything and the lady was very nice as she rang up our order. We will definitely be going back whenever we're in Las Vegas. read more

Chamon - A mix of onigiris - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This was one of the best meals I've ever had and reminded me so much of the places I had in Japan! It felt like I was truly being taken back. My friends and I got here at 11:15ish to line up, and we were the 3rd party in line and the last group to get seated in the first round. It was a tiny cozy shop so definitely expect to wait unless you plan to come early. It was nice that they opened the onigiri section at 11:30 and since we were the first few people in line, we had all the selections we could ever want and were able to browse while waiting for our meal. I ended up eating all the onigiris later in the day. They were NOT skimpy at all on toppings! I'm not a huge fan of onigiri because I feel like most places just stuff them with just rice, but I felt like these were so perfectly distributed and I was able to get a bite of the topping every time. My favorites I tried were the A5 wagyu, which was so juicy! The other ones I tried were the salmon mayo, mentaiko, and truffle spam and egg, which were all also incredible. Now for the fun part, our dining experience! Everything was made to order and crafted perfectly. I got the A5 wagyu steak plate and was completely blown away! The steak melted in my mouth and it was also seasoned so well! The rest of the tempura was also delicious, and all the sides that it came with like the fresh wasabi, pickled veggies, and miso soup. Everything just complemented the others so well and it was also the perfect amount, where I was able to savor every bite and enjoy it while not feel stupidly gluttonous and full at the end. We had a very solid end to our meal with a matcha tiramisu, which was rich, creamy, and delicious! The ladyfingers were moist and paired so well with the richness of the matcha. I wish this place was closer to me so I could come back more often. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Vegas even though it's off the strip! read more

This was definitely worth the wait! So many onigiri to choose from, but I stuck with a spicy salmon and salmon ikura. Highly recommend both. While we were waiting for a table, I had these as an appetizer to hold me over. For main dish, ordered the original negitoro ikura & wagyu steak tempura. Again, definitely recommend both of these dishes if they're available. Recommend coming in early as it's such a limited seating area. Staff was so friendly and took our names down as we arrived and organized us to where we were would enter to select onigiri and then were texted when our table was ready. read more

I am so happy to have finally gotten to try to dine in here! We lined up pretty early around 11:20 when they open at 12. There was already someone in front of us so come early! We were seated and we ordered the original negitoro with crab and uni. Oh my goooodness the richness of the dish was impeccable. The seafood was so fresh and the soy sauce that came with it was not your typical soy sauce. It was one of the most delicious things Ive ever eaten. We also got the shrimp lover tempura plate and it was a good contrast to the negitoro bowl. The batter of the shrimp was so thin and it didnt feel greasy at all. Service was amazing! I had accidentally used the wrong card to pay and they immediately got me sorted out. Thank you for being flexible! read more

4.2.26 - this review is based on the experience we had. We haven't had the chance to try the food yet. My cousin and I arrived around 12:45pm and saw there was a line of people outside. It was both of our first times here and it was a bit confusing because we saw people in line to the right of the entrance but also saw people crowded around on the left side of the entrance. It would help to have clearer signs to let customers know where they should stand. We ended up asking people in line. The line to the right is to put your name on a list to dine inside and to purchase onigiri. People crowded on the left were ordering togo. There was no sign-in sheet or tablet outside to put your name down on the waitlist and there was no one outside to take our name down either. I thought maybe the line would go quick but it did not move at all. We found out that seating is very limited inside. We were told there were only like 3 tables. While waiting in line, two guys walked out saying there were only 3 types of onigiris left to choose from. Everything else was already sold out and the place had only been open an hour. We actually wanted to eat inside and try the negitoro bowls but after seeing that the line was not moving and onigiris were running out, we figured it might not be worth waiting anymore. It was a while before an employee appeared and I asked her about the time for dine-in. We were told it would be a 2 hour wait and the worst part.... she told us that spots are not guaranteed for new customers..?!?! Im sorry, what? So basically, customers who have been there before have more priority to get in before we get a chance to try it and it's not based on first come, first serve? I hope to see some changes and improvements made to their process in the future to better the experience for customers. I would still like to actually try the food at some point and hopefully give a higher rating the next time. Parking here was kinda busy too. We ended up getting out of line, left the car here, and walked to a sushi spot nearby in another plaza read more

Chamon - Forgot to take more photos while I was here. This was the only one - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This was one of my top meals in my life. And I only have two. And this is a part of it. We went there an hour before opening and were first in line on a Saturday morning. The place is super small, there were only about 4 tables and some counter seats. So the wait can be insanely long if you go late. They only serve 10 wagu tempura a day so we wanted to make sure we would get it. We were able to get it and it was absolutely delicious. Super fatty and perfectly cooked. The tempura coating around it was also light and crunchy at the same time. We also got the negitoro bowl with uni and crab. That was also absolutely delicious. I would get these two items over and over again if I can. It was money well spent. We also got the shrimp tempura but that was just okay compared to the other stuff. If you can't get a sit down spot there, you can also get the onigiri which is also very delicious as well. We got a couple to go and each one we got was so good. Would definitely come again and would come early again to make sure to get the wagu. read more

Super glad I got the chance to come try Chamon during my trip. The dining table seating looked rough so we opted for the take out ongiri. I'd recommend the one with soft egg which was my personal favorite. The tuna mayo and salmon mayo were good but not as good as their other array of options. The mentaiko was stuffed generously and tasted heavenly. My boyfriend liked the spam One with a slice of tamago best. It's worth going earlier to have your choice of ongiri. Even as someone who has been to Japan multiple a handful of times this was better than most I had ongiri abroad. There tends to be a line even for takeout. The parking lot is big, but the availability of spaces can vary, depending on time of day as the other businesses are very busy. I definitely return and seeing as how fair the prices were I hope to visit every Vegas trip! read more

get here at 11 on the weekend if you don't want to wait a long time for onigiri and to dine in. My party of 8 got here at 11:30 and were not seated until 1 to dine in. Thankfully, the onigiri line moves at a decent pace, but I would still recommend coming early to limit how long you have to wait. I recommend the unagi onigiri as a must try. All the onigiris I've tried there were good though and they're reasonably priced. It's a small restaurant, and the onigiri section is also just a walk in walk out. It makes you feel like you're really in Japan, so that's cute. They have certificates for their wagyu to certify it's from Japan. If you are dining in, I highly recommend the negitoro bowl. They make limited amounts, so come early. The fish was very fresh with excellent texture and flavor without the fishiness. The snow crab was also good, but my partner did point out there's not a lot of crab meat. They only make 10 wagyu bowls currently, so I would definitely come early if you want to try that. The meat was tender as expected. Overall, great experience and I will definitely be returning. Just come early! read more

This very traditional small seating capacity gem is a must visit as with a limited menu and a 20-40 minute wait as it opens is well worth it. Negitoro bowl- plenty of toro, chopped clams, squid and ikura presented a top of seasoned rice and accompanied with a egg yolk, miso, special soy which was used to mix the yolk paired with delicate toasted nori.....what else do you need?! Maybe a bowl of miso to finish it off....well that came too. Fresh, creamy, and every bite not wanting to end. Ordered a couple of tempura (crab & ebi) and thy worked well with the negi bowl giving a cold to hot variety. Great service and well worth the drive from the strip as it is a definite return visit especially to try the musubi which we were too full to pick up as there was a huge variety that were well presented at the entry of the restaurant which many patrons came for those to go. read more

Came here at 12 and they said it would be around an hour and a half wait. I got the call to around an hour and 48 min. Wait was too long so we didn't end up dining in. Parking isnt the best. We had one person go stand in line while the other went to look for parking. The line is to put your name down to sit and to go inside for the onigiris. All the onigiris had too much rice but the rice was nice and soft. Ratio is off. Each were about $4-$5 Tuna Mayo 4/5 - a little on the salty side and wish it had more Mayo Spicy tuna Mayo 3.5/5 - regular one tastes better Hamburger with cheese onigiri 3.5/5 - I wish I ate it when it was fresh, I think it would taste better Chashu 2/5 pork was dry and it was too sweet Unagi 4/5 - unagi needs more sauce Salmon 3.5/5 - just tastes like salmon and rice, nothing special Spicy chicken Teriyaki 4.5/5 - good but wish there was more chicken Karate chicken 3/5- chicken was too but chicken was so small and there was too much rice Overall onigiris were ok, I'd get some again and some I wouldnt. But I do want to come back to try their negitoro bowl. read more

We got there at 12 and was told that there would be a 75 minute wait as there were approximately 7 tables ahead of us. So we grabbed four onigiris to-go and went to a botanical garden while we waited. We mentioned we were interested in the Wagyu and they said they would try their best to have it for us since it is limited to ten. Salted salmon with garlic Mayo: absolutely delicious. Loved every decadent bite. 5/5 Unagi w/ shiso: tasty 3/5 Burger: flavorful 4/5 Spam with tamago: very good! 4/5 At 1:20pm we get a text to come back and that the table will be held for ten minutes. I gave them a call letting them know I'd be 15- 20 minutes and it was ok! We sat at the bar and shared the Wagyu bowl with a side of mushroom tempura, crab leg tempura and uni. Everything was decadent and delicious. It came with a small side of pickles, wasabi, and soup. We were stuffed and happy. Service was very attentive and friendly. The space is quite small and seating is limited so I recommend going early or coming to put your name down way ahead of time. I really enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the chefs work. read more

If you know, you know--after living in Japan for 12 years, my standards for Japanese food are high. It's something I truly love, and honestly, it can be hard to find spots in the States that really hit the mark. So when I came across Chamon, I knew I had to try it--no hesitation at all. My husband and I ordered a variety to really get a feel for the menu: spicy salmon, salmon, tuna with mayo, and two shrimp onigiris. And all I can say is... wow. Yes, it leans a bit more Americanized than what you'd typically find in Japan--but I'm not mad about it one bit. In Japan, portions are more modest and perfectly balanced with rice. Here, the onigiri were generously packed with protein, and it honestly felt like you're getting more bang for your buck without sacrificing flavor. Every bite was satisfying and full of flavor. The atmosphere is great--on the smaller side, but still comfortable and welcoming. Even though they were pretty busy when we visited, the service was impressively fast and efficient, which made the experience even better. I genuinely wish they had more locations around the city because I would easily be a regular. This is definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm craving something that reminds me of Japan--with a little extra twist. read more

Extremely pack and don't take reservations online so plan your visit accordingly! I love their don bowl and all the food on the menu. However, the onigiri are not on the same level with the dinning menu. Too much rice and little flavors. So definitely recommend dinning in with them if you can. read more

Solid choice for lunch & dinner option around the area. I have tried pretty much everything on menu including the negi toro bowls, wagyu bowls & tempura. I love to pair my meal with their matcha americano, they make it not too sweet here. Their onigiris are also worth getting. I much prefer getting the onigiri here compared to Pullman due to proportion and variety - they have excellent topping to rice ratio. First come first serve, if you want to be first seating I recommend lining up anywhere from half hour to hour earlier before they open even on the weekdays. read more

I finally arrived! I really wanted the waygu tempura but apparently they only make 10 a day so if that's your number one, get there early. So I settle for the neritoro and it was NOT settle at all.

Limited sitting here but service was friendly, fast and efficient. read more

While visiting Vegas this weekend (3/20-3/22), my wife found this hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant that specializes in onigiri (which is basically savory/cooked sushi). We enjoyed the food so much we went back a second time during this same trip to Vegas! The restaurant itself is located within a rather crowded shopping center. The parking lot was very full upon arriving, but I found a spot after waiting around for a few minutes. The interior of the restaurant was super compact with just a handful of tables. Both times we stoped by, we just purchased the onigiri to-go, since they were all displayed to pick choose the ones you want. They even provide you with a brown basket to store your selections before paying for it. The quality of the onigiri was outstanding! My absolute favorite was the spam with truffle egg. It was superbly delicious with a very umami flavor due to the truffle oil infused into the egg. We will definitely be making this place a regular stop on our next visits to Vegas! read more

Loved my Tendon Bowl with tempura veggies & shrimp. The squash & taro were slightly firm though, but everything else was simply delicious. This is the place for onigiri; I've tried onigiri places from NYC to Paris, and this is definitely my favorite place for onigiri. The place is small, so there's always a waiting time; to me this is not an issue, since the food is worth waiting for. Most excellent food places in Japan have a long wait time & you pay before you eat. read more

Our group came here at 12pm on a Saturday and there was already a 1 hour wait. Their website does mention table availability starts at 11:30am and dine-in service begins at 12pm so I'm assuming people go at 11:30am to put their names down. The place is very small and only has about 4 tables and a few spots at the bar. They also have a small area in the front where they sell onigiri. We came here specifically to try their negitoro bowls but they also have tempura and wagyu bowls on their menu. I ordered the original negitoro ikura which was good but I felt like the fish to rice ratio was a little off. My friend and I both had some leftover rice after finishing our bowls. We also tried their matcha tiramisu which had a lot of cream but was still delicious. Service was quick; they took our orders before they seated us so everything came out right away. Overall, this is a decent spot if you're craving negitoro bowls and don't mind waiting. read more

At the table you can order your bowls and drinks. I ordered the wagyu bowl since it was only limited 10 a day and I didn't know when I'd get another opportunity!

I really wanted to dine in but since we are short on time, we got in line for onigiri. Wait wasn't bad but the food was underwhelming. The protein to rice ratio is terrible. Like a pc of chicken and a mountain of rice? No thank you. We tried the egg and spam (kids liked this one), the egg one (daughter said tasteless), hamburger cheese, Naruto chashu (the pork was tough and I was hoping that it was tender), saba, unagi and beef yakiniku. I also got the matcha latte with almond milk. I will not come back for onigiri but do want to try for the negitoro bows. read more

If you have a lot of time to wait for amazing food - this is the spot. Fair warning, the lunch hour rush can be a 30-45+ min wait. Come through and you can see the crowd of people trying to grab onigiri - make sure you find someone to let them know you're trying to dine in. They'll put you on a waitlist and you'll get a call to come back. They'll keep your place for 10minutes. Once you come back they'll give you a menu and take your order while the table is getting ready. You'll get your food within minutes that way. Highly efficient. There's a good amount of choices from ten tempura to wagyu but I gotta get my negi toro - snow crab and uni bowl. Man this thing is legit. The soyu you'll mix with an egg yolk then you'll pour over your bowl. Now everything is golden delicious. The seafood is quite fresh and I love the bit of wasabi - legit wasabi to really kick up the flavor. I've tried this type of food elsewhere and this place still have them beat. It's a small space, so be aware but it's worth the effort. One of my must revisit spot in Vegas. read more

A must go! If you're coming for the onigiri, come early and wait in line. I came on a Friday at 11:30 and there was already a line formed. By the time noon came around, the wait for a table was around an hour and a half. The onigiri line was moving pretty quickly. Tons of selection and very beautifully displayed. Prices range from $3-$8 for each onigiri. I got 8 onigiris for $36. Taste is fresh and delicious. Absolutely a must stop if you're contemplating it read more

When you arrive to a place that you have booked marked and you see a super long line before they are open, you know something is good. Because of the long line and we had to get back to the hotel to check out, we only had time to get take away for some Onigiri's. Chamon has their craft mastered. I have had a many of onigiri's elsewhere from fresh to refrigerated and nothing has matched up to the quality of theirs now that I can give a fair comparison. To be honest, we did not get to eat what be bought until 10:00pm that evening and how soft and tasty the rice was and how flavorful and moist it was and the structure of the onigiri holding up. The taste of the various proteins were fire . For the Onigiri's I give it a 10/10. As for the Tendon, Negitoro and wagyu don, we will have to wait for an update when we go back to try it again. The restaurant is very tiny, but they had a well oiled system and it went smooth to getting in and being able to choose our item's without feeling like it's a Black Friday sale and grab what you can get your hands on. read more

Chamon - The wide angle shot of Onigiri table and a glimpse of how small this restaurant is. - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

3.5 stars. This tiny restaurant, with a to-go section for onigiri, is super popular. There's usually a line outside the door even just for to-go customers, and a longer wait to eat inside. The parking lot is generally packed as well. We stopped by and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes for the onigiri. Once it was our turn, we got a cute wicker basket and entered the store to join the onigiri line on the right. They all were made and displayed so beautifully. We got the mackerel, spam truffle egg, kaarage, tuna mayo, spicy tuna mayo, and nitamago egg onigiris. The spam truffle egg was our favorite. The others were pretty good as well, although we felt that the mackerel could have used some sauce or more seasoning. It was fun to visit and try all these flavors. The staff was also very friendly even though it was busy. But given the wait time and parking situation, we don't plan to come back anytime soon. read more

I came here for a quick snack and got their oonigiris. The place is a very small and homey and had limited seating. I never tried their sit Down foods but may be down to try one day! The oonigiris were distributed on a table where you can pick and choose what you wanted. I ended up getting 3, the tuna, beef, and spicy chicken. I think my favorite one was probably the tuna because it had the most filling and flavor. I felt like the other ones had too much rice. Service was very friendly! Overall not bad if you like the rice which was cooked perfectly. However I do prefer more filling. read more

Chamon - The assortment when we went was as beautiful as the pictures posted previously. - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

3rd time here and somehow it still feels like the first time discovering it Grabbed a handful of onigiris again, and every bite just keeps pulling me in. The unagi is rich and deeply satisfying, the spam truffle eggs are unexpectedly indulgent in the best way, and the ebi brings that perfect light, fresh balance. Each one feels like its own little surprise. There's something about this place that makes it hard to stop at just one... or even one visit. Already looking forward to the next round! read more

5/5 - I would definitely eat here again! The line for the onigiri and eating inside the establish are separate lines! (Onigiri is a physical line outside while the other is a digital line you must sign up for) The onigiri are well done and reminds me so much of the delicious ones I've eaten in Japan, personally there wasn't any I dislike but I know for sure I'd go for the Chashu Naruto (pork) and unagi sansho (grilled eel) again. The taste is W O W! Sends me straight back to Japan when I got to spend $$ at restaurants that specializes in tempura bowls. This was super worth the wait (we waited around a little over 1 hour). We got their Original Negitoro Ikura + Snow crab and the A5 Wagyu Steak Tempura. There's no human words to describe the delicious flavor punches and the songs my tongue was singing from the food. I ate every last grain. I did feel a little rush eating my food so fast since there was people waiting but I also inhaled my food fast from the deliciousness. The way the beef melts in your mouth is also 10/10 perfect. Service - Wow, the front end employees handle the customer service so well from the onigiri line to the in-restaurant line. All the way from signing up to checking out. And the back end employees move with such smoothness too. Bathroom - Yes read more
