Garlic tuna i wasnt laying  I probably eat like 20 Of this every time i go
Teddy S.

Absolutely lovee lovveeee this place If you come during the week between 9-11pm Its literally 54.05$ for 2 people for very good ayce I probably ate over a 1000 garlic tuna's at this spot And probably another 800 yuzu yellow tails. Good service and good atmosphere. Will be back another 100 times easily.

Food is still good but they seem a little short staff. Some items did look smaller but still good.

AYCE Menu

A great all you can eat sushi place if you want an affordable lunch option. Unlike other places this place offers lunch specials Monday through Friday. The key is that Friday is offered in it. Most places block off Friday Saturday Sunday and include that as a weekend price and is normally much higher. The worker/server was very friendly and he was out and about checking our table very often in order to order more rounds. The rounds came up very quick and even for the lunch option there's a bunch to choose from so we never felt like we're missing out on anything. I would of course order all of the one time things such as the salmon,, seafood bowl,. Everything was really fresh and Another stand out for me was the freshwater eel. My biggest tip is to not get any of the Unagi sauce since I feel like it really doesn't need it and it gets pretty salty and fills you up over time.

Coffee Ice cream, best flavor!

Mr Shota is our go-to AYCE sushi, all the staff here have always shown impeccable service. The food is always great, the garlic salmon and the prime galbi steak is really good. The music is not very loud, low enough to have a conversation without having to shout. Restrooms are always clean. Definitely recommend coming here. The ambience is nice. Great group seating, plenty of parking.

recently stopped by Mr. Shota and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. This spot hits that sweet balance between quality and value, especially if you catch their specials. First off, the nigiri deserves a shoutout--the fish-to-rice ratio was on point. Each piece had a generous cut of fresh fish without overwhelming the rice, which made every bite feel balanced and satisfying. You can tell they pay attention to the details. We also tried a few hot dishes, and they didn't disappoint. The karaage came out crispy on the outside and juicy inside, perfectly seasoned without being too heavy. The salmon steak was another standout--flavorful, tender, and cooked just right. Same goes for the beef short rib, which was rich, well-marinated, and fell apart with every bite. Service was just as solid as the food. Our server was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing smoothly without hovering--always a plus. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the value. Their weekday lunch special (until 4pm) is a great deal for the quality you're getting, and if you're out late, the $19 late-night special after 10pm is hard to beat. Overall, Mr. Shota is a spot I'd definitely come back to--whether it's for a casual lunch, a solid dinner, or a late-night bite. Great food, great service, and even better pricing.

Mr. Shota is one of six sushi restaurants as part of the Dragon Factories franchise in Las Vegas. It offers virtually the same menu as Sakana, Umami Sushi, Sushi Neko, Neko Supreme, and Sumo Sushi. I've visited three out of the six, and Mr. Shota has the best ambiance in my opinion. The lighting and decor really set the mood. As for the sushi, I thought the sashimi and nigiri were on par with the other locations, and offered great taste and lots of variety. I especially enjoyed the seared salmon with lemon, uni, and the sashimi platter. The service was great as well. Our waiter was attentive and checked on us often. He did not limit us as some of the other locations did. We came as a group of four, and finished all our plates without scraps. I only knock down a star due to the lack of dessert options the day we went. Although there were many more options on the menu, they only had maybe 2-3 mochi flavors available, with no affogato (my favorite) or ice cream. Regardless, I'd definitely still come back!

I did the all you can eat. I thought the quality of the sashimi fish was okay. The nigiri is where it is at. The fish is tasty and I highly recommend the eel. They have this all you can eat special at weekday nights from 9-11 for 19.99. That's a steal. Otherwise the price is still reasonable for the quality of the fish. I don't necessarily recommend the recommendations from the menu. I think ordering the nigiri is more worthwhile if you are a fan of sushi.

Salmon, tuna, super white
Kendra W.

This place has great quality cuts and portions! Went here for our anniversary recently and it was worth the wait. We love nigiri and this place does an amazing job with that. I thought the yellowtail was especially good here. I thought the eel was weakest, although still good.

Our usual spot is down the street which is Sumo Sushi. Same owner I believe. Anyways, the wait was 55 mins for Sumo and it was already almost 9pm. We called Mr Shota and they said they had 1 table left. Or it could be a 15 min wait. When we got there, a group was leaving and there was 1 party of 2 ahead of us. Within less than a minute they were seated and we were right after. Super fast !! It's a small spot and this place has been different names before so we had stop coming here. But after today, it wasn't bad after all. The service was quick, the food was great. And to top it off, they had Ube and Thai tea ice cream !! Yummm ! Couldn't have asked for a better way to spend and early Mother's Day

It's been awhile since i been here but as usual food is comparable to my go to sushi spots. Ambience is great. Service is ok. Location is key for this place.

Corn cheese garlic bread
Ligia D.

The sushi here was well balanced between options of tempura, fried, classic, baked and signature. I will be back soon. Wasn't busy for lunch time and special was a good price. Very clean ambient environment and loved our server kept coming to check on us.

This place is easily top two AYCE spot in Vegas and let me tell you why. The portions for the sashimi is good. Let me start by saying I've been to four of the other top ayce spots in vegas and they're decent but this is my top two. They're bite size so that you get a good taste with a good rice ratio. They're not huge so you don't get full and you can try other things. Their selection on the menu is very fair it may not be a massive selection, but the selection that they do have all taste really good. The speed at which they bring the food out is very fast so you don't really have to worry about waiting. Staff was attentive and fast. My only gripe was when I called and asked what the wait time was server said 30 minutes when really there was no wait. Not sure why they lied if I had trusted that information I wouldn't have gone and missed out.

How much the lice of AYCE? Is Uni nigiri included to AYCE?

$24.95 for lunch. All day $28.95. One order of uni per person is included in AYCE. I usually invite people who don't like uni lol

Is happy hour available on weekends as well?

Sadly no last time we were there and found out

Is restaurant ADA compliant ? Plan to bring 3 obachans that use wheelchairs.

They have no steps and a few tables have chairs that pull away and would allow for WC access. I am not sure about the restrooms but should have no problem eating.

Hi when is HAPPY HOUR?

It was after 9PM when we went.

Will you be open for July 4th 2023?

I wanna know, what everyone's FAVORITE roll is?

I absolutely love the salmon belly and sexy salmon nigiri. As for the rolls, Call 911 is always a must for me.

Do they still have two for one sake and beer and soju?

When I was there last week they still have that special. I got a bogo soda 😊

I understand lunch time is till 4pm, what if we go in at 3 but finish at 4:30? Will we be charge dinner or still lunch?

i have friends that work there, she said if you do lunch option and stick with lunch item all the way, you'll be charge lunch price even if you finish at 5pm.

Is the AYCE just for sushi or are tapas included?

It is for almost all the menu including tapas

What's the Maximum size for a Large Party?

Probably around 8. More than 8 will have to be split tables.

Are there gluten free options? Is the sushi rice GF?

Rice is never a gluten item. Gluten comes from wheat. This is why gluten free items use "rice flour"

How much is the AYCE for dinner?

$27.95

Is there a different price for children?

Ages 0-3 : Free Ages 4-7: $13.95 8+: Full price

Can I make reservations?

There's no reservations, but they have a Yelp waitlist

So is there a lunch special from 12-4 like I see on the menu. Or is it only from 4pm to 11pm?

shota recently open there lunch hour friday-sunday (3 days). i heard that first week in december they will open lunch everyday.

Did they get rid of the 49ers roll? That was my favorite.

can ask your server, sometime they can make it for you.

Are reservations accepted?

No...we just walked in

What are the hours they are open?

Currently soft Opening hours 5pm-10pm, last called 9:30pm

One of the first things I noticed was the beverage station. They have the Coke Freestyle machines, which I loved because you can have a completely different drink every time you go back up! We went during the lunch/brunch time, so there was a great mix of both breakfast and lunch options. There were so many different stations to choose from -- breakfast and made-to-order omelets, a carving station, pizza, Asian food, salads, tons of different breads, and so much more. You could easily make multiple trips and try something completely different each time. And definitely don't skip dessert! There were SO many choices, and I loved that a lot of them came in smaller portions. It makes it so much easier to justify trying more than one... or a few! Overall, a great Vegas buffet experience with tons of variety. Come hungry because there is a LOT to try!

I'd been thinking about this meal since my first pan roast in June…read more I arrived at the Palace Station Casino on Saturday. We got in the Oyster Bar Line at 11:34AM. Reading previous reviews, I saw some people stating that they waited two hours so I was mentally preparing. It seemed as though there were about 15 people in front of us in line so I was hoping it would go fast. We ended up getting seated at 12:59pm. So it was about an hour and a half for us. Victoria was our server and she was on top of it! Immediately when we sat down, she handed us two sourdough bread rolls, some butter, and the menus. She asked us what we wanted to drink and my partner ordered a draft beer, whereas I just had my water from my water bottle. She then asked us if we needed some time to look at the menu or if we were ready and after an hour and a half wait, we were well prepared with what we wanted to order. We ordered a dozen of the gulf oysters, and two pan roasts. One pan roast was the combo (level 2) and the other was the palace pan roast (level 3). When both pan roasts came out they were HOT, but that was not stopping us from shoving every bite of deliciousness into our mouths. Having had the palace pan roast in the past, and now trying the combo pan roast, I really did enjoy the combo better because I'm more of a seafood person. My partner had the palace pan roast for the first time and he instantly understood why I was raving about it for months. There's just something about the tomatoey, creamy, bisque like consistency mixed with some white rice that I just can't describe other than perfect. This is what you dream about on a cold fall day. I've personally always enjoyed the level 2 spice level, because I don't find it to be spicy or painful at all, but the man in front of us in line said he prefers 5. I like that you're able to customize it because everyone has a different spice tolerance and what everyone finds enjoyable is subjective per person. My partner and I ended up ordering an extra side of rice when it became apparent that the one side each would not be enough for us. He loves his rice, and I only take nibbles, so he usually eats mine. However, for this meal, I was not sharing my rice, so he had to order another side. Overall- highly recommend. The food is well worth the wait. After being in line for an hour and a half it's hard to be grumpy when the service is so efficient & friendly and the food taste this good.

I finally tried the Oyster Bar, and even on a Monday there was a line. I waited about 25 minutes…read more Like everyone says, there really isn't much seating. It's literally a bar, but it's a pretty cool setup. I ordered a Paloma and it was really, really good. Service was okay, especially considering how busy they were and the limited seating. One thing I appreciated was that even with people waiting, they didn't make us feel rushed to eat and get out. Now the food? Straight BOMB. I'm used to ordering seafood gumbo or a pan roast with lobster and having to search for the actual seafood. Not here! They give you big, beautiful pieces of seafood, and the portions are huge. We made the mistake of ordering our own instead of paying attention to the people around us because we definitely could've shared. And a warning about the oysters: they are HUMONGOUS. Seriously, keep that in mind when deciding how many to order. Between the generous portions, quality seafood, and that Paloma, I can definitely see why there's always a line. Four stars for me!

They also gave a choice of ice cream at the end, so save some room for it!
