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!
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.
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!
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. So so tasty and very light on the stomach. Worth getting especially on a hot day like today. I got some onigiri to go for later. I'll come back and update for that review. Limited sitting here but service was friendly, fast and efficient.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

The onigiri here is delicious! The best in town, with many different options. There is something for everyone. A unique take on a simple food. It was packed and for good reason. Even so it moved quickly as the self serve concept makes things flow quickly. The unagi was amazing and a very nice portion. The chashu had a very nice sauce with a rich flavor and the naruto fish cake was a nice touch. All freshly made. The restaurant itself has a cute social cafe style vibe. Small place though. Perfect to grab and go with provided baskets. read more
Very small shop, definitely consider reservations or allowing enough time. Absolutely stellar tempura restaurant. Very authentic, very sweet staff, and seeing a lot of Japanese there is always a good sign. They absolutely knocked the dishes out of the park. The tempura is light, crispy, and flavorful. All the condiments work perfectly together, and they even have some fun ones like matcha salt. They also have onigiris that usually sell out by early afternoon. We went back the next day to snag some and those were awesome too! Not much to say about this no fluff restaurant. It's a cute place with great people, great service, and great great food. A must try. read more

So excited to finally try.....Been on my hit list for too long!! Understand why such a long wait time...Super popular but Very small space hidden inside an unassuming strip mall!! Amazingly friendly and very prompt staff!! Chefs were super engaging friendly and very helpful!! Unfortunately onigiri are to heavy rice base for me but really enjoyed the tempura bowl!! But not sure if I was too excited and or if this spot was too over hyped but nothing really stood out? Proteins and vegetables were good and batter was good but nothing WOWED me? Highly recommend everyone to try but not sure if this was a hit or a miss? read more

Hello Nathaniel, Thank you for visiting and sharing your experience!…
Stopped by to pick up their famous onigiri at 1PM on a Sat and most of their stuff were still available, the wagyu was gone tho! Highly recommend the unagi, super buttery and delicious! I personally do wish there's less rice and more filling but it's overall pretty good and a must stop if you're in Vegas :D read more
Wow! This review is for onigiri only - these rice balls blew my expectations away! I love that they incorporate shiso leaf in so many of their onigiri flavors! 5/5 - Chashu Naruto - my favorite as a naruto and sausy rice fan. 4/5 - Salmon Ikura - this was fine and not fishy at all. Just not the best one there 4.5/5 - Mayo Shrimp - pretty good! I loved that they used whole pieces of shrimp in there, just a bit too creamy for my liking Only downside is that it can definitely get super crowded in there while grabbing onigiri. Seems like quite a long wait to sit down to eat at the restaurant also. It was uncomfortably tight when trying to grab onigiri. I would love to see improvement in this aspect, but I loved the onigiri so much that I would do it again. Can also get a bit pricey too if you get carried away. I can't wait to be back and try more! read more

Hello Emily, Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled you…
Seafood bowl is limited to 15 servings per day, so we were super lucky to be able to get literally the last one for the day. Waiter told us it's usually sold out by lunch, so if you're visiting for their seafood bowl be sure to come at lunch and not dinner. It taste very similar to what we had in Japan, but this place serves it with an egg and sweet soy sauce which I really enjoyed. Dare I say more than what I had in Japan (I have a sweet tooth). Will be coming back for our next trip. read more

Hello Hao, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you…
I was super bummed that I didn't get to try some tendon (tempura bowls) while I was in Japan earlier this year. When I saw Chamon and it's raving reviews, I made sure to visit during our Vegas trip. You can tell they know what they are doing when the tempura is not greasy and it's light and has the perfect crunch. The deluxe tempura bowl had a huge piece of eel and it's just absolutely delicious. Definitely give them a try! There is usually a wait since they are a pretty small restaurant. I recommend coming in for lunch. This restaurant also has onigiris that we got a few for a light dinner. Very delicious and my favorite was the hamburger one. read more

Hello Karen, Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed…
Onigiri is the way to my heart and I fell in love with this place as soon as I walked in. This is small and has a few tables for dine in and also low bar typical in Japanese restaurants where solo diners can sit at and watch the sushi chef work their magic. They also have an area right up front that sells an assortment of onigiri and I knew I had come to the right place! I had a hard time choosing which ones I wanted but settled on three: (1) ume shiso (2) unagi eel and (3) salmon koji. By far, my favorite was the ume shiso as I love shisho leaf and always looking for it in Japanese food! This was popping with flavor. The unagi eel was was also delicious. Salmon koji was just OK for me but I did like the "salt" flavor, very unique. What also made my day was I ordered an iced hojicha latte and that was perfect for me! Not too sweet and delicious! I loved the place and would consider driving back here to Vegas just to come back here! Omg loved this place! read more

I don't get the hype... Perhaps I've just had some phenomenal Onigiri back in Japan & Hawaii or maybe I need to sit inside and have some of the meals. I saw and IG vid with a bunch of people lined up for Onigiri... uh, not so sure why, after trying it out... At first I thought Chamon was a small take out storefront. I didn't realize it was a small restaurant. It's cramped inside, tiny venue with not much room inside. The parking lot is also small and it can be challenging to find parking during peak times. There is a menu, and the food looked good from what I saw on the tables. But that isn't why I came here on this occasion. I came to grab some Onigiri for a quick din din on the go. The Onigiri didn't look all that good to me in person, so I only picked up a couple to try... turned out to be a wise decision... #MidOnigiri: ~ Chashu Naruto - 2.5/5 Um...maybe this was good when it was fresh. The Chashu was not tender, nor did it have a decent flavor. It was just blah... Al lot of rice in here. ~ Unagi Sansho - 3/5 Once again a lot of rice in here. Tastes like Unagi that has been sitting out. I'll give this place another go, but I won't have high expectations... read more

Food: delicious, freshly made onigiri: - Unagi sansho - a must get if you like unagi. I love shiso and this combo made the taste pop. Love the authenticity with the use of sansho. Unagi melt in your mouth soft. I could eat 3. - Chicken karaage - salty fried chicken with a pop of mayo and nori rice. I don't care for mayo and think this could go without it but overall very tasty. - Ume shiso - I love the classic pairing of ume/shiso. Hits those taste buds and makes you salivate. - Yakiniku bbq beef - hubby and DD loved this. Like eating a Yoshinoya beef bowl. - Chasu - hubby thought the chase was tasty and a nice thick slice. - Spam truffle egg - hubby liked this as well. Ambiance: this is a tiny restaurant with 3 tables and a few bar seats. Service: the seating is only for eating the tendon. You cannot sit and eat onigiri here. Onigiri is only to go. Found this out the hard way. I told the waitress we want to just get onigiri and is that ok and she said ok and seated us. Then later asked us our order and I had to reiterate that we were there for onigiri only and so after language barrier issues had to get up and leave. Tip for business: the onigiri table is L-shaped. I recommend putting a small rope barrier so that people stay in line and follow the shape of the L-table. We had people in front of us reaching over and grabbing onigiri off the table (essentially cutting in line in front of the people in front of them.) Some people are very rude and inconsiderate so unfortunately you have to do these things to make people queue properly! Anyway, the onigiri reminded me of places in Waikiki and was so delicious that we'll be back! read more

Stopped by only for the onigiri! We were there 5 mins after they opened and the seats were packed, and some nigiri's were sold out already. I got the salmon mayo and truffle egg spam musubi. They were ok, wished it was a little creamier for the salmon mayo. I am interested in coming back to dine in bc this place reminds me of Japan! read more

Hello Crystal, Thank you for stopping by and sharing your feedback!…
Finally got around to trying Chamon, and this review will be 2 parts! Vegas has sneakingly been increasing more Japanese cuisine and experiences and I'm here for it! Hands down The BEST ONIGIRI, I've probably had (Not only in Vegas but respectfully better than ones I've had in Japan) The common issue I've found with onigiris in most places is they end up being really dry inside. Not here tho, tons of flavor, good rice, and I appreciate the effort they're packing in here I didn't try every single onigiri but of the ones I tried, they were all good. The absolute must have is the eel! Musabi paired with the tamago and a truffle sauce was a sleeper. Onigiri's are pricey but I mean they seem to be everywhere. So 5/5 for the Onigiri portion. Perfect for takeout, snacks, trips etc. half the line to get is just to purchase this I was able to dine in. Came about 15 mins before they opened and made the cut. About maybe 10 people can dine in at a time. The tempura dine in portion gets a 4/5 If I haven't been to Japan it would probably be a 5/5. While everything was good and tasty. There were two things that kinda messed the mark. 1) Texture, tempura needs to be crispy. The seaweed was super crispy and perfect. But the rest of the things weren't... the flavor was spot on the shrimp and sauce was good. But otherwise it was more on the soggy side. Based on the photos they look crispy but weren't. 2) The wait for food was longer than expected. (30 min) We were in the first group so we were expecting them to be ready to go. But the long wait and getting soggy tempura eggs and semi soggy shrimp tempura, did leave me with some disappointment. So maybe it was just an off day? I'm just not sure that I'd come back for to dine in. Especially if you have wait an hour + to get seated because they have very limited seating. If you're trying to dine in as a big group I highly advise against it. Service was great, its how would get treated in Japan. Very friendly staff. read more

Hello Aaron, Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re…
I kept seeing this spot recommended on social media, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived right at opening for dinner, but I would suggest getting there about 10-15 minutes early since the line forms quickly. We were seated right at 5pm, and when you walk in, you are given a basket to choose onigiri that you can enjoy during or after your meal. We picked a few to try and they were all delicious. Some popular items, like the negitoro bowl and certain onigiri, are only available during lunch and usually sell out by dinner, so we did not get to try everything we wanted. For our mains, we ordered the wagyu bowl and the premium tempura bowl. Both were incredibly fresh and flavorful, and we all agreed they were perfectly prepared. The ambience reminded me of restaurants in Japan, and honestly, the tempura bowl might have been even better than the one I had there. I highly recommend this spot! read more

Hello Kayla, Wow, thank you for making the drive and for the amazing…
Highly recommend this Japanese establishment. It's one of a kind in Vegas. Serving some of the best tempura and Japanese rice bowls in Vegas. Also they sell onigiri- so much choices. We came at peak time for lunch and did wait 30 mins at least. We were seated in the bar area and got to witness the chef's techniques on cooking tempura. Every dish we got were so good- just like eating in Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto without paying for the airfare. Service was great. They gave us menu while waiting on the queue to be seated and did tell us what is still available. Place is small which they control the amount they serve and control the quality. Totally worth going!!! read more

Hello Rolly, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re…
Chamon sells Onigiris that are Japanese rice balls. We decided to come here to pick up some items to snack on. We arrived around 2 PM and a couple of items were already sold out. I would come here earlier if there are items you really want. They do closed during the day so check hours before heading over. We only came for the onigiris but the tempura and other dishes looked really good. I will be back to try that out next time. For the onigiris, you just walk into the store and there are an assortment to pick from. All the onigiris are wrapped up and displayed nicely. I went with the chashu Naruto and the spam and egg. I thought most onigiris came with seaweed but a couple of items didn't. My chashu rice ball didn't. I enjoyed my onigiris and they made the perfect snack while watching some movies at the hotel or lounging at the pool. Overall, great options for snacks! read more

This review is based on my first visit on 9/11/2025. I've seen tons of clips about this place and read tons of reviews and was super hyped to finally check it out. I arrived at 11:45, and got in line to await my turn. After 10 minutes or so, I was greeted by an employee who informed me I would be seated at around 12:30, which wasn't a bad wait at all. After a few more minutes, I was handed a basket and given the opportunity to peruse their onigiri offerings for the day; they all looked SO GOOD, so I went with five that beckoned me to take them home. :D For reference, I learned they sometimes allow people to place to go orders on Uber, so if you're in a hurry and want their onigiri only, that might be a good option for you. When it was my turn to get seated, I ordered their Negitoro Bowl plus uni. There was a card at the bar with instructions on how to eat it, which was much appreciated. When I took my first bite... WOW, I was loving all the flavors, textures, richness, umami. It was everything. I was immediately transported back to a time I had a fantastic chirashi bowl in Tokyo. For dessert, I enjoyed their yuzu sherbet, which was light and refreshing - a perfect end to an amazing lunch. I can see myself coming here again soon. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Hello Cynthia, Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled you…
New secret gem in Vegas! I've been wanting to come here since seeing it on social media and this place did not disappoint. Best tip I found from Yelp was to come EARLY right before they open. I came for the second round of the day around 4:50pm and there was already a small line forming before they opened at 5pm. The place is on the smaller side, but gives very cozy and zen vibes. They give you a basket once you enter to hold any onigiris you chose to buy. You can take them to go or even eat them at the restaurant. We didn't make it in time for the negitoro bowl, but the tempura bowl and onigiri were enough to make the visit worth. They have matcha salt on the side which actually added a very subtle deep flavor. The matcha tiramisu was moist and sweet, but not too sweet and was easy to finish! Be careful with the matcha powder on top because it can be a bit drying and we accidentally blew matcha powder off of the top of the cake onto the table haha! Plenty of parking in the lot, but I can see that it can get crowded during lunch times since it's in a plaza. read more

Came here for lunch with friends but unfortunately we didn't get to try it out - the wait for 1+ hours and being seated was guaranteed since they would be closing in 1.5 hours. It's a small place too! We decided to grab some musubis to go though. Pork Chasu: The seasoning was good but the pork was a little dry. Spicy Chicken: Tasty. Salmon and Ikura: The salmon was really salty. The ikura was a little flat...maybe because they've been sitting out? read more

Came here for lunch and absolutely loved the vibe--tiny, cute, and it really reminded me of Japan. The shop specializes in all kinds of onigiri, and everything looked so fresh. We ordered the premium plate and the snow crab plate. Both were tasty, with the tempura standing out--light, airy, and not greasy, with a nice balance of seafood and veggies. Since it's a small shop, be prepared for a wait if you come during peak lunch hours. Overall, a charming little spot worth checking out if you're craving authentic Japanese comfort food. read more

For the price point I was honestly shocked at how the food and service here exceeded my expectations of what on the outside seems like a simple tempura shop. Shrimp was perfectly firm. If it were pulled out 10 seconds earlier, it would have been raw. Crab was delectably sweet and tender. Shiso leaf is usually hard to do since the batter doesn't stick well, but this was perfectly executed. When biting into the leaf, the batter didn't crumble or fall off. Not to sound repetitive, but the Kisu was also perfectly cooked, being both soft and moist. Restaurant is impeccably clean and the interior design is well kept and nicely detailed. Service is helpful and super fast. read more

Hello Vincent, Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review.…
We really wanted to try Chamon while we were in town! Checked Yelp and Google, and both said they open at noon. We got there at 11:45am, and the place was already packed with over an hour wait. I thought they opened at noon! We didn't feel like waiting that long, so we'll try again next time. They had tons of onigiri to choose from, so we'll definitely give it a shot when we're back in Vegas. I gave 2 stars for the variety of onigiri and the fact that they weren't actually open at noon like Google and Yelp said. Please update your ACTUAL hours. read more

Chamon specializes in tempura bowls and they have added on negitoro bowls which really sparked my interest since you don't see that often, especially outside of Japan. We were visiting family in Vegas and Chamon was one of the places on my list I really want to try and it didn't disappoint! We went early, around when they opened so there was no wait to get a table. It's a fairly small place so I can see there being a wait during normal dinner hours. We tried the Deluxe Tempura Bowl and the Negitoro Bowl. - Deluxe Tempura Bowl: this bowl contained sea eel, shrimp, kisu, soft boiled egg, lotus root, kabocha squash, shiso and nori. I really liked the way they fry their tempura, the batter is light but everything is crispy. It's served with rice so it's also a filling dish. My favorites were the shrimp and eel. Negitoro Bowl + Snow Crab + Uni: there was a good amount of fish and crab in this bowl, size wise I felt it was a good value. The fish was good, but the crab and roe stole the show. I actually felt the fish was a little more subtle and didn't stand out but it was still a delicious dish overall. I really enjoyed Chamon and would definitely come back next time I'm in town! I'm really glad as this is another good spot that has opened in Vegas. read more

If you're looking for a quick grab-in-go spot for onigiris look no further than Chamon!! I come here anytime I need something fast or wanna grab something to take to a potluck. My go tos are the Chashu Naruto, Teriyaki Cheese Hamburger Steak and Anonori Karaage. These are the kind of onigiris you don't see just anywhere and you can tell when eating it how much care and attention the chefs put into making it. Only caveat when coming here is the space can be kinda tight just because they do offer dine-in service as well but the staff is always very efficient doing their best to get customers in and out smoothly. read more

This place is really small inside with a few tables to dine and bar seating for tempura bowls while the other side has a line for onigiri that allows a few people in at a time. Over a dozen onigiri to choose from. We got unagi sansho which is grilled eel, spam egg, and chicken omurice which is chicken fried rice with omelette. The spam egg was the least favorite because of the sauce. I liked the eel, it had the perfect saltiness w the amount of rice. The chicken omurice was cute but meh. The shiso leaf is eatable, it's like Japanese basil. It also helps separates the content from the rice so it doesn't become soggy. Some items were running low but they refilled while we were in line. If we come back, I would like to try the tempura and other onigiris. read more

Hello Myphuong, Thank you for visiting and for sharing your detailed…
Hands down the best selection, best looking and best tasting onigiri! Upon walking in you will be greeted with an array of options! You can pick some up for take out or if you plan to dine in and order off their restaurant menu, they can just add to your bill. We ordered a bunch for the kids to eat then and also for snacks for later. The ume shiso one is a favorite of mine and Chamon's version is the best one I've ever had. Not too sour, just the right amount, and the rice had an al dente texture and seasoned properly. So much umami. These were just the icing on the top bc we really came for the tendon bowls and the negitoro bowls! We LOVE tendon and wish more restaurants offered them. Legit kind too. No prepackaged shrimp tempura nonsense. But authentic vegetable and shrimp tempura accompanied by their sauce and condiments. The negitoro bowls are the star, just like they make them in Japan and Honolulu. You have three options to upgrade to: Original Negitoro, Negitoro + Snow Crab, Negitoro + Snow Crab + Uni. So good. Follow the instructions they provide for you and enjoy! It's a popular spot but tiny inside so you will likely have to wait in line outside. The service was friendly and hospitable and they try their best to move things along. A wonderful new staple to Chinatown! read more

Hello Anna, Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear…
This is the best place to go for an authentic Japanese experience. It's a small, cozy spot with an option to grab onigiri to go or sit down for lunch/ dinner. The tempura is the hands down best in town and is super filling. You could honestly split into two meals. Be sure to order the matcha latte too. It is creamy and has a perfectly balanced flavor/ sweetness profile. Note: The kitchen closes 30 mins before the listed close time so plan accordingly. read more

Hello Maria, Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you…
We have been wanting to try this place for so long and thank god we did!! It tasted AMAZING. the batter was so light and fluffy and crispy, didn't feel heavy at all. The squash was so soft and sweet. The shrimp was the right soft texture on the inside and the flavor was so so great. It took me back home to Japan. Even my mom said it tastes just like back home (she rarely saids that). The portions were perfect for us too. Even the atmosphere reminded of home, it's a small place. The chefs are right there you can see. The only thing I had to say was it was quite hot in there. Which I'm sure it's because of the space and the fryer being so close. The restroom was the only cool place. After we ate, we quickly left since it was just too hot for us :( Eveything else was AMAZING will be back for sure !! read more

Hello Keiko, Thank you so much for the heartfelt review—it truly…
Delicious negitoro bowls that are limited in quantity each day. We got seated around 1:30pm and they still have some left. Very small interior with 3-4 tables only, so be prepared to wait for 45 mins. The onigiris were hit and miss. I really enjoyed the unagi one, but would skip chicken omurice and hamburger. Both were too sweet for me. read more

OVERALL : We were looking for a snack and stumbled upon Chamon, a small restaurant that serves both grab-and-go Onigiri as well as tendon / tempura bowls and kaisendon. We were here for the Onigiri today. They gave us a basket as we walked in and we got to select from a large variety of plump, fresh, and super unique Onigiri options! We then paid at the register and they boxed it for us to-go. The ladies working the register were busy, but still friendly and prompt when checking us out. The space inside is small but clean and filled with customers eating their delicious looking bowls! PARKING : Parking lot out in front shared with other businesses in the plaza, not too crowded when we came FOOD/DRINKS : - Hamburger Steak - teriyaki sautéed hamburger patty, fried quail egg, shiso leaf -- a hearty choice if you want a more substantial meat, good flavor but can get a lil heavy if you're eating more than just this one - Omu Rice - chicken fried rice wrapped with egg omlette -- the omlette was SO smooth! Fried rice is a nice change but leans on the sweeter side for me bc of the ketchup - Chasu Naruto - chasu pork and fish cake with shiso leaf -- tender pork and loved the shiso flavor, one of my tops! - Salmon Ikura - Koji salt marinated salmon and soy marinated salmon roe on shiso leaf -- this is my top fav, fresh and light esp with the shiso, so savory! I wish we had a place like this in SoCal; I loved the variety of onigi and there is still so much more to try! I also really wanted to try the bowls, so I'll def need to come back next time. read more

finally got to try this place! I really wanted to come in for the longest & try the onigiri's. I am a bit sad everything mostly was sold out except a couple items :( the few that I did get though were very delicious! My bf & I really enjoyed them, they all had lots of flavor & were easy to eat on the go. the price point for the onigiri's that we got were a bit on the pricier side, but I guess we'll just blame inflation lol I would definitely like to come back and try this place again & their other onigiri options, hopefully they'll have more in stock next time we come. They did have limited hours when they are open so be sure to check that before stopping by! read more

Hello Maria, Thank you for stopping by and for the thoughtful…
Really really good. You just don't find places like this anywhere. We were struggling whether to order the tempura or the negitoro but we decided to order the negitoro bowl since they only limit to 15 a day. However, we also ordered some tempura on the side. This place is super legit. The negitoro bowl was perfect. They do give you a jidori egg to mix with soy sauce and to add to the bowl. It was rich full of flavor from the sea. Also, their rice was cooked perfectly. It was so good that I had to take my time to eat this meal. Service was also great. They let us sit inside early before opening time to beat the heat outside. Water was refilled often and we were checked up quite often. Tip: make sure to lineup before opening time. We lined up 30 min before opening time and there were at least 20 people ahead of us. read more

Do they have highchair to accommodate 1.5yr old baby?
Yes- they have the wooden high chairs in the corner for use~
Do they take reservations?
no, they don't and they have limited daily 15 bowls of their rice/crab/sea urchin ( the best and $45 buckss)
How long are the onigiri good for? Do they need to be refrigerated?
Prolly a week in the fridge. A day or two not refrigerated
What is the typical wait time on a weekday right at opening 5pm?
They open at noon, if you get there 15 mins early usually no wait but once is full only 13 people capacity, you will need to wait anywhere from 20 mins or more.
I know it say they use a 100% plant based oil for frying, what kind of oil is it? I have a soy allergy.
They use 100% COTTONSEED oil....Sadly, such a bad oil for a good product. All restaurants should stop using seed oils.
Is this the same Chamon that used to be in the same plaza, across from Sweets Raku (RIP 😭)?? The old Chamon, "The Matcha Salon," served amazing desserts like mochi balls and red bean and green tea soft serve ice cream. Same name, same logo.
Yup! It's the same location & same logo, they just focus on tendon bowls now!
