Cute little restaurant across the street from the Nugget. Easy to walk to Was setting quickly, explained the menu Food was surprisingly very good. Wasn't sure about sushi in the middle of the desert but was very good. Recommend over casino food. Will go back again read more

We decided to try this place because we can't find amazing food in Laughlin. Wow!!!! It was so good. Amazing service too. Super clean. Alot smaller then I thought it would be but we got right in. My husband has their orange chicken and he said it was one of the best hes had. It looked amazing. I had sushi and their spicy garlic soy beans. Everything was amazing. The sushi was fresh and the taste amazing. Highly recommend this place. read more

Did a food search and this place popped up. The strip mall is not so good lucking. But make a trip to this place you will not be disappointed. The inside is very quaint and clean. The employees were amazing every one of them were helpful. The food was amazing I had their Bulgogi yummy . We had plenty of sushi and appetizers. A must go to. I forgot to take pictures. read more

Arrived for an early dinner, again no hostess visible so had to wait for someone to come out of the kitchen. Since they were not crowded I was offered any table of my choosing. They had 2 TVs on, one World Baseball the other football. Hostess/server was very friendly, repeated my order back to me multiple times to ensure accuracy. My drink was was kept full throughout my meal. Appetizer and entree were served at the same time. Serving sizes are large and perfectly seasoned. I recommend the vegetable tempura, bite size pieces of zucchini, carrots, broccoli, asparagus and onions. Chicken yakisoba has lots of veggies and small bite size pieces of chicken breast. Their menu has a good selection of Korean dishes and sushi. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

Pretty good! I was a bit wary about getting sushi in the desert but this place was good. We tried the Arizona roll- yellow tail on top, shrimp tempura in with a nice jalapeño slice on top. Spicy tuna had a nice kick. The vegetable tempura was good...I wish they had more veggie variety like mushroom and green beans, but the batter was nice and light; not greasy . I liked how the zucchini slices were nice and thin. Lastly, my daughter tried the teriyaki chicken bowl. She said it was pretty good . I tasted the teriyaki sauce...it was a bit too sweet for me..you can really taste the honey. Service was nice. Our beverages were always refilled. The venue itself was nice and clean. They had a cute sushi bar in the front. Restrooms are outside of the establishment. Tired of the typical diner fare...this is a nice little Asian cuisine find here in Laughlin. read more

Surprisingly good sushi for the area. Probably the best you'll get in Laughlin. Service is fantastic; friendly and chatty in the right way. Ambience is lively and the restaurants shares their bathroom with a bar next door. read more

The food was great ordered a Bento Box. The steak bento was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. The California Rolls were very fresh. I especially liked the fresh wasabi it's the bomb. The restaurant was clean and fresh. The sushi chefs were very nice along with the waitress. I gave the waitress my order appetizers and my lunch. However, I did not receive my appetizers for whatever reason. The wait was a bit long for only a couple of others having lunch. But all in all we enjoyed ourselves. read more

Only reason why I didn't rate it 5 stars, is because my miso soup tastes better. Other than that, the food was good and it was worth the money. I went with my wife and in-laws, as this was my first time in Laughlin. We ended up eating, dinner there the first time and lunch the second time. I had the grilled salmon meal and it was tasty and I left full and happy. Lunch, was good as well as I mainly had sushi I know if I'm ever back in town, I'll be back. read more

Great!!! As always but was really missing Lily this time around, service was cool but wasn't as great as when Lily is working.

Ok so I finally tried this place after numerous trips to Laughlin. The place is rather small and unassuming, and shares the second floor of a small retail complex with the Hideout Bar. I was greeted and I chose to sit at the sushi bar as I was dining solo. The hostess was very nice and friendly. The two gentlemen working the sushi bar were also very friendly and welcoming. My waitress was also quite nice, although it seems as if several different people waited on me throughout my visit. I ordered Kimchi Jjigae, a spicy scallop roll, and the soft shell crab appetizer. The SSCA was absolutely delicious, crispy and flavorful with a wonderful ponzu dipping sauce. The SSR was absolutely wonderful, so fresh and flavorful, it was delicious. The KJ was good, but lacked the flavor of a traditional KJ. Overall the meal was absolutely delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Laughlin. read more

I ordered two salmon skin hand rolls ($17.98 for two) and a spicy tuna roll ($9.99) to go. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant got busy as I waited for my order. Unfortunately I didn't eat my rolls right away; about an hour later. The salmon skin was extremely tough and not edible. I had to remove the tough pieces. The spicy tuna roll was good. I'm surprised that the salmon skin hand rolls were so expensive, considering its size. I would return and perhaps dine in. read more

I would probably give this restaurant 3.5. Good food. Service was eh. Little older lady kept forgetting stuff and had first given us a cold beer glass that was cracked. We asked for another one and she gave us a dirty look. It was just chipped, but glass cracked throughout the entire glass. Took a while for our food to arrive, we all got our food at different times. Food portions were small for the price. Restaurant looks ok, a little dingy. read more

Food is good, we got beef yakisoba and chicken katsu...with a side of kimchi. The service is very nice and helpful. The ambiance is American Asian at its best. If you are around I highly recommend. read more

Fantastic food and the servers were funny. I'd say everything was well worth it, except the bulgogi, which wasn't enough quantity-wise to justify the price. Otherwise, the kimchi jjigae, Arizona roll, bluefin roll, and some other roll (I've already forgotten, oops) were tasty and fresh. We're definitely coming back here next time we're in Laughlin! Big beers too! read more

It's been years since I've been here, but it's still just as good as it was then. We got the spicy edamame, Arizona roll, Kingman roll, Rock & Roll roll and the Screaming O! Everything was delicious! So fresh. We sat at the sushi bar. Fast fast service with a smile! Great prices! We will be back read more

Top marks this place. Food, especially sushi was excellent. And I've had sushi many places from the NE, Florida, basically anywhere I travel. They do 1st class job here. Service was on point. Small place. Friendly attentive staff. Went the extra mile for us w adding the eel as part of our order. Priced comparable to back home in NE so fair enough there. If I'm in town, I'm eating here. And so should you if you like good sushi. #cheers #addme #eatdrinkandbemerry read more

Simply outstanding eggroll, and I'm not even that big on eggrolls. Wife ordered a couple; and they were outstanding. She had the yakisoba with 2X shrimp, and I had the rainbow roll. Both were excellent. RE: The oysters; not much of a fan on those. Reasonable prices and great service. They don't serve hard liquor, so I walked just 30 feet or so over to the sports bar which is immediately adjacent. No problem at all. Really good place. I'd call it 5 Starts. read more

Not at all what I expected, but it was good. The vibe is very laid back, not at all upscale. The man preparing the sushi was yelling at our waitress, so that was eventful. But the sushi was good. The menu has a nice selection. read more

It was a blur eating dinner at this place after having so much wine. We ordered rolls, sashimi salad, toro, fried soft shell crab. We also ordered hot sake. Will need to come back here sober the next time we come back to Laughlin haha. I assumed everything was good since no one complained. We came here Saturday around 6pm. It was very busy. Casual dining place. read more

Minato's Japanese Restaurant - Fried Soft Shell Crab and Fatty Tuna (Toro)* - Sushi Bars Near Me - Laughlin, Nevada

Our go-to sushi spot in Laughlin. Sushi is super fresh. Sushi chefs know what they are doing and the staff is fast and friendly, like a well-oiled machine at times, and they kinda have to be because it does get quite busy here during peak times. Highly recommend the Arizona roll, yellowtail-topped California roll with a shrimp tempura at both ends. I would also recommend the Orange Crush, a salmon-topped roll with ponzu sauce and a thin sliced citrus wedge on top. It can get busy so try and go early to avoid potential long lines to be seated. If there are only 2-3 in your party, sitting at the sushi bar instead of a table might be a great alternative. Laughlin is not really known for its sushi or its fine dining in general, but we swear by this place. It is as good as any place we go in LA. read more

Disgusting and Unacceptable After 15 years of dining at Minato, my family and I will never return. I found a maggot in my sushi roll, and when I told the staff, they only comped the roll and brushed it off, saying it's "normal" in the daikon radish they buy. That is completely unacceptable. Their lack of concern for food safety is shocking. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Always enjoy eating at minatos. Fresh sushi and clean restaurant. Good service and nice selection of food including bento boxes for those that don't prefer sushi. Have been coming here for 10+ years and don't plan on stopping. read more

We go to Minato's regularly when we are in the Bullhead City area. Great prices, snappy & friendly service! We regularly get a couple of sushi rolls...enjoy the tempura (light and crispy)...and always throw in some Gyoza for good measure. They boast of a dive bar atmosphere, which is probably true. Though I would call it an "upscale dive bar." Good for big parties (there's lots of room). Definitely recommend it. read more
