Satisfying the word that comes to mind when we ate here for lunch. Though it seems like it opened before noon which was the hour displayed on Yelp. The service there was amazing! It really reminds me of Japan if not even better. Everyone was nice, helpful, and cheerful. We had the Wagyu plate which was limited each day and also the tempura premium plate. The coating and the ingredients were delicious, Wagyu was melt in your mouth and the fish/shrimp/vegetables were fresh and tender. There were different ways to eat the tempura - multiple dipping sauce and matcha salt? Didn't even know that was a thing! We definitely intend on coming back to try the other menu items and the onigiri !! read more

Last time we came here, we were too late to be able to dine in because of how long the line was and we would not have had the time because we had to check out of our hotel. This visit I made sure we'd get in, so I came early enough to be the first person in line. Well worth the wait especially since they limit the amount of Wagyu servings to 10 per day. Since I was first in line I definitely got one of the ten servings and because of the price, my wallet could only handle one order. We also ordered the original Negitoro bowl with Uni and crab, but on the side due to my crab allergy. Because they specialize in tempura, we got their vegetable tempura plate to add a variety of flavors. Needless to say the Negitoro was delicious, but the dish that makes my coming early worth the wait, is the Wagyu tempura bowl. Real A5 wagyu beef perfectly tempura fried was Melt in your Mouth tender and still a medium rare doneness. My next visit, I'm ordering a Wagyu bowl all to myself. Service is always Japanese friendly and efficient system. While the line is still long outside, they come out and take your order and determine if you prefer to dine in or just get Onigiri for take away. Maybe because of the early turnout and it's a weekend, they were not allowing any of the tempura options to go. Now I feel I'm an expert having the knowledge of the perfect time to fall in line and what are the must try orders. read more

Chamon is a shop specializing in tempura (seafood and wagyu) bowls, negitoro (raw tuna and seafood) bowls + huge variety of onigiris (rice balls) for grab-n-go! The Wagyu tempura bowl (5/5)-- The meat was unctuous and melty, while still having a slight tender chew and somehow without an oily mouthfeel. Something about the tempura on the outside worked magic. The wagyu comes on a bed of fried sweet onions, a tempura egg, shiso, and nori crisp + rice. The tempura sauce was seasoned nicely, just sweet enough. A little salty for me but MT enjoyed it and was basically drinking it with the rice! I'm not a huge meat fan, but this bowl was so great that I'd probably contemplate on ordering this one for myself next time. :) They have a limited servings available for lunch and then another amount reserved for dinner. Onigiri (4.5/5)-- we tried 3 (the shiokoji salmon, spam truffle egg, saba gari). The onigiri were very popular. By late afternoon, they were sold out of all but one variety of onigiri! The shop is homey and tiny-- 3-4 tables for 4 people inside + 4 bar seats where you can watch the chef and kitchen team in action. The bronze/metal splash screen was really nice to prevent the heat and splatters reach diners. Chamon just celebrated its 2 years and they're going strong (just announced plans for a 2nd location!). No reservations here, but once you're on the waitlist, they'll text you a 10 minute heads up when the table is ready. If you're missing Japan or want to try something special, swing by for some onigiri and hot fresh tempura bowls! read more

Chamon - A5 Wagyu steak tempura bowl-- with fried onions + egg, kabocha, nori, shiso tempura. Limited number of bowls daily - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Went during a late afternoon and was not expecting a whole line! Probably just lots of people traveling since it was during a holiday but it was hot and the line is outside. The onigiri were really good but I would only go if I was close by. I got the cheese Hamburg one since it seemed special compared to the others and it was really savory and a little sweet from the sauce and interestingly there was mayo in it too that added a layer of creaminess. Great spot on Vegas for onigiri read more

We finally got a chance to try Chamon! Their Wagyu Bowl is limited to only 10 bowls per day, and their different Negitoro Bowls are limited to only 15 bowls per day. Here's a tip if you want to try their limited dishes. You gotta listen carefully! They open at noon, but you gotta be there by 11:10 AM at the latest. Once you see the welcome sign outside, go line up. It should be around 11:15 AM. People show up FAST! I don't even know where they come from, but the line forms really quickly. Someone will come outside and ask for your party size and whether you're dining in or just there to buy onigiri. If you're dining in, they'll give you a menu and then come back to take your order while you're still waiting in line. Yes, you order before you even get inside! Around 11:30 AM, they'll start seating people. The place is pretty small. They only have two tables for four people, one table for two, and about 3-4 seats at the bar counter. So yeah, that's why you gotta get there early if you want those limited dishes! Is it worth it? Definitely!!! The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. We really enjoyed it and were glad we finally got to try it. I also saw that they're opening another location soon. Check their website or IG for updates! Get there early, people! read more

This was probably one of my favorite meals on my last trip to Vegas. All the tempura was delicious but my favorite was the Wagyu bowl. So tender and don't forget to add on the black summer truffle zest! The onigiri was delicious as well and a great grab and go snack. The restaurant itself is very small with limited seating so if you're trying to snag a table be prepared to wait. I got there on a Thursday around 11:45 before they opened and there was already a line. Once they sat the first round of tables I was told the wait would be about 50 min and that was an accurate estimate. Once you're seated the food comes out pretty fast. read more

Finally got to try Chamon and went on Friday afternoon to pick it up. Luckily not a long line for the onigiri, but definitely will be back to sit down and try their bowls. All of the onigiri were in stock and getting replenished while I was there. I loved the amount of filling for each onigiri, it was very generous portion size. My order included their mentaiko, unagi, salmon, salmon and ikura, tuna, and shrimp. Loved the addition of the shiso leaf for the round ones! read more

Really authentic tasting onigiri and would probably come back here if they fix their ordering process. Came at 11:50 and did get not until 40 minutes after for just take out. They hand out baskets for to go orders and it should be one basket per party or have a paper ordering system to check off what you want. They only allow 5 baskets inside at a time. As of right now, they have the same line for to go and dine in. It was very busy for Friday lunch so it would've been beneficial to add a third worker for just to go orders to help keep the line moving. There's very limited space inside so it makes sense that they want to keep as much space as possible inside but their ordering process doesn't logistically make sense to me. Overall, their onigiri is pretty good but just be prepared to wait if you decide to go. read more

This place was amazing. We got here at 2:20 PM, just as they were doing last call for their lunch service. My friends and I got their Original Negitoro Bowl and also the Deluxe Tempura bowl. It was all good - we're definitely going to go back next time we're in Vegas. (It was so good, one friend actually went back for their limited Wagyu tempura bowl). We also grabbed a bunch of onigiri to eat later for an early dinner. I can't remember which onigiri I ended up grabbing, but they mostly fell in pretty good to very good range. read more

The food here was SO fresh and delicious! It genuinely reminded me of eating in Japan, from the presentation to the quality of the ingredients. We ordered the fried eel don and the Wagyu don, and both were hands-down amazing. The tempura was crispy without feeling overly heavy, and the Wagyu was beautifully cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. I was hoping to try the seafood don too, but unfortunately it had already sold out by the time we ordered. Definitely come early! Their popular items sell out FAST. They also make rice balls/onigiri, but apparently those can be completely gone within about an hour of opening. If you want the full selection, I would honestly try to be there right when they open. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully prepared. I'm already planning to come back earlier next time so I can finally get my hands on that seafood don and the rice balls! Highly recommend, just don't sleep in! read more

I have tried three different times to visit this place but the line is always extremely long lol. I finally was able to come try it on a Sunday, right after they opened. I have been wanting to get the beef bowl for the longest time and was so happy that they had it in stock! I think they only have 10 to 15 bowls per day so make sure to come early if you want to try this. It was super umami and fatty, but went perfectly with all of the sides. I have gotten their onigiri a couple times and have loved it every single time. The restaurant is small, so probably can't accommodate big groups, I would recommend coming with a group of four or less. Enough parking in the plaza, and overall a great experience! read more

Chamon - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Chamon Las Vegas was definitely one of my favorite food stops in Las Vegas! If you're an onigiri fan, this place is absolutely worth checking out. The onigiri were delicious! What I really liked about Chamon is that even though many of their options aren't your traditional onigiri, they get really creative and put their own unique twist on them. There were so many different flavors and combinations to choose from that we ended up grabbing a bunch just to try them. My favorite was the Unagi Sansho. The grilled eel was flavorful and went perfectly with the rice and nori. I would definitely get that one again! I was really looking forward to trying the Wagyu, but unfortunately they had already sold out by the time we got there. That just gives me another reason to come back next time I'm in Vegas! Definitely recommend getting there early because some of the popular items can sell out. Overall, I loved the concept, the presentation, and especially the creativity they put into their onigiri. I'll definitely be back! read more

Discovered this place last time I went to Vegas and now I make sure I drop by every time I go on vacation there. I love a good onigiri and this place knows just how to make them. I especially love their mentai onigiris which are good if you like fish roe, a good taste of umani and saltiness. They give you a woven basket and you get to pick as much as you desire but the line here gets long so try and come early to have the option to the full selection! read more

I eat a lot of high end and izakaya type Japanese food, all through out US and Japan. I was not super impressed by the food here. I came 45 min before opening for lunch on a Friday. I was 9th in line. I've came here twice and first time the negitoro bowl with the uni and crab was sold out for that day. The negitoro bowl honestly tasted worse than it looked. It just tasted bitter and bland, no sweet fresh ocean taste like other chirashi bowls I've had. Maybe it was the egg yolk soy sauce that ruined the flavor for me. It just did not taste like high quality ingredients. I even got extra crab. It was half a crab leg for $6. The snow crab honestly tasted no better than the frozen grocery store stuff, nothing like the fresh stuff from a proper sushi place. The first time, I tried a tempura bowl. It was good, more authentic than most Japanese places in the states, but not super amazing like I need to go back to eat it again. The best food here is their onigiri. The variations and recipes can top the ones found in Japan, very authentic. They do put a little too much rice so you get full fast and can't try too many. They do not keep very well and you need to eat them same day because the rice hardens in the fridge or the fish starts stinking and goes bad! So pick your poison if you wanna buy a lot. The other stuff is not worth standing in line for if you've had authentic Japanese food in Japan or in another bigger city with top notch sushi or fresh fish. I'm from LA and the tempura at Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr in LA is better. There is better fish and rice to be found in LA too like the quality is similar to Sugar Fish and KazuNori. These are very easy to get into spots in LA you don't need to stand in line so I'm surprised to find the crazy hype here. I admit the presentation is nice and the shop's vibes feel very much like you've been transported to Japan. But the cooking quality and flavors are only slightly above average. 3 stars for the cooked food. 4 stars for onigiri. I probably will never come back again now I've tried their signature dishes and see that it's mediocre. The food is not worth the lines it has at all, especially if you're from a big city with good Japanese restaurants. Maybe come here for the Japan nostalgia and vibes or if you've never had authentic Japanese food. If you want to splurge, apparently Kabuto across strip mall parking lot nearby is VERY good. Top 3-5 omakase in the country. read more

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

This review is currently only for the onigiris. I'm usually not an onigiri person because I find there's usually way too much rice and very little filling.. but I just had to say this place is a MUST to stop by when in Vegas. I made a pit stop before I drove back home to California because it's the perfect little road snack and treat to bring back for people at home. Prices are pretty reasonable as well - average between $3 to $6 each. Despite the small interior, the staff keep the line fairly organized and inform people that the wait time to sit down to eat could be upwards of 1-2 hours, but that people here for onigiri only can grab a basket and snake their way through the onigiris and to the register. I truly felt like a kid in a candy store with how delicious their onigiri look - and it tastes even better! I bought a total of 11 LOL. 1 shiokoji salmon garlic mayo, 3 unagi sansho, 3 teriyaki hamburger steak and cheese, 3 spam truffle egg, and 1 yakiniku bbq beef. Some of them come with shiso leaf, which gave it a very pleasant bright herbiness. The shiokoji salmon garlic mayo, chashu, and spam truffle egg ones are my favorite so far. Other family favorites were the yakiniku bbq beef and unagi.. Evidently you can't go wrong with any of them haha. The rice is really soft but has that nice short grain bite, and their proteins are all very flavorful. They reheat very well too. Chamon has inspired me to make my own onigiri at home until the next time I can visit again! :) read more

Definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I visit Vegas now. I was so surprised by this spot when I came for dinner. I had seen this spot recommended all over my social media feeds and it didn't disappoint! I do wish I got to try their onigiri and the negitoro dons but the tempura dons were delicious. Like traditional Japanese restaurants, they close in between lunch and dinner. I've heard that there's a line befor opening for lunch or dinner for their onigiri, and that their negitoro dons usually sell out during lunch, so I'll have to come again for lunch next time. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with only a few tables and about three seats at the bar, so the wait can take a while. Our party of three ended up waiting about an hour to get seated around 8:00pm, and we got their premium tempura don. Their tempura is lightly coated in batter and fried, not greasy at all. They're light on the tempura sauce within the bowl, but they provide the sauce at the table for you to add. Definitely recommend loading the sauce onto the bowl for the sweet savoriness and don't forget to use their spicy powder that definitely hits. read more

Man, good luck getting a seat here! We showed up before opening and the line out the door was nutty! When we were asked if we wanted to dine in the wait time was going to be about 2 hours with no guarantee that they'd have their coveted bowls left. Make sure you get a reservation if possible! We waited for the onigiri which still took us about 30-40 minutes just to get in. Once we were in you could see it was a very cute small izakaya with only 2 tables and bar seating. The onigiri itself was pretty solid but I'm not sure it was worth the wait. Maybe I was just too hungry They also ran out of all the cool advertised ones before we even got a chance (saba, wagyu). Next time I'll definitely shoot for a reservation if I'm in town. read more

Came in with the Wagyu bowl in mind, but it was already sold out by the time we got seated. Ended up ordering the Shrimp Lovers bowl instead, and it was delicious crispy, light, and well-executed. The space is very small with just a few tables and a counter area. We sat at the bar, which was great since you can watch them prep everything fresh right in front of you. Picked up some onigiri on the way out; it was decent, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. Overall, great spot for tempura bowls and I'll definitely be back earlier next time to catch that Wagyu. 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

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

Tempura was super fresh and I loved the seasoning on the rice. We weren't super hungry so we were able to share one of the bowl combos. Since it was around dinner time, they were already out of some of their musubi options, but the couple I took to go were yummy. Convenient and speedy ordering to go for my friends, and the workers were friendly. It's a very small restaurant so we were lucky they had seating for two of us right away at dinner time. 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

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 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

Chamon delivers very good food, and the staff are consistently friendly and attentive. I arrived about an hour early and was first in line; if you plan to do the same, bring a chair because standing in the heat can wear you down. One thing I really appreciate is their efficiency: while you're waiting in line, they come out to take your order so your food is ready as soon as you sit down. It makes the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. 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

The restaurant is small and can only fit a few groups at a time so expect a wait. They sold out of the onigiris at lunch time on a Saturday, so I just ordered the premium tempura bowl with a snow crab leg (a bit pricey!). It was tasty and filling, but the tempura was a bit cold and not as crunchy as I expected it to be. I might try to come back during lunch time to try the onigiris though! read more

Chamon - 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

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

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

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

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

Loved the place. However, you want to come early before they open to get in line. Those chirashi bowls run out quickly 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
