    Ponzu salmon (2) Smoke Paprika Salmon (2 pcs) salmon carpaccio (2)
    Hannah X.

    I'll start with what I enjoyed. This is my second time coming here from California. The food was pretty decent the nigiri was the way to go; I really enjoyed the small rice to sashimi ratio. I also really enjoyed their uni and had fried ice cream as a finisher. The first time we came everything was amazing which was what made us come back. The food, the customer service and the price! The only thing that threw me off during this visit was when I tried their oyster and it was honestly not great. Had some kind of giant hard connecting joint on it which I've never seen on oyster before so that was quite strange and gross. During this visit the customer service was mediocre. The guy seemed like he didn't even want to be there. Still tipped him well anyways. We were kind to him and we were never rude or complained (even about the weird oyster). We worked in food service for years and understand what it's like and honestly that was bare minimum.

    Came here in a Sun afternoon so we ordered the lunch AYCE ($26). My friend recommended this as it's similar to X-fish back home in California. The first thing that stood out to me was the portion size! I was really happy with the rice to fish ratio. Quality of the fish was decent, I think it's their best for what they can get out in Nevada. 3 stars for food just because it was average. 4 stars though for service. Our server was very friendly and the food came out superrr fast. I think the quickness compromised presentation, but that doesn't really matter to us. Our favorites were shrimp tempura, salmon nigiri, lemon seared salmon nigiri, yuzu yellowtail nigiri, and eel nigiri. We also ordered garlic salmon nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, tuna nigiri, shrimp tempura roll, miso soup, veggie tempura, agedashi tofu, spicy garlic edamame, shishito peppers, and each skewer. The spicy garlic edamame seemed to be dressed in butter/fried with butter, and spiced with chili oil/red pepper flakes. It wasn't my favorite. The skewers were a bit dry or just average tasting. The rice for the roll had a soft texture, not like sushi rice texture which threw me off s bit. Bf really enjoyed the tofu skewers and agedashi tofu as well. For the price point, this is really great sushi, considering the rice to sushi ratio. The service was great too. I would want to try other great food in the area, but I'm glad I was able to try Sakana this time around!

    This is one of the top sushi places in Vegas hands down. Located off Maryland and flamingo, right off the strip a few blocks. Such a hidden gem. Every roll was delicious! We went for lunch around 2pm and there was no wait, food came out fast and it was great! Will definitely be back! I would absolutely recommend!

    While visiting Vegas recently I brought my husband here for early lunch. My Dad brought me here last time and he comes here for every visit. It looks like a restaurant in a random plaza corner...however, once you enter it is quaint and inviting! You can definitely do All You Can Eat....the selection is vast, the seats fill up fast and the sushi's are wrapped over fish just with minimal rice so you can really taste the fish. The wait staff was attentive even though it got pretty busy and brought our food over as quickly as it was made. Their yakitoris are delicious too and so are their appetizers. I did order an udon....that was a bit too much on the soy sauce side and way too sweet. Last time it was delicious. If in town....definitely give this place a try!

    Best ayce in Las Vegas. Everything was lightning fast as soon as we ordered which we appreciated it since we had 3 hungry kids with us. Omar was very attentive and very patient with us. All the nigiri's were great, the nachos with bulgogi were excellent and we finished it off with various desserts that were included. My kids loved the tempura banana ice cream, strawberry mochi, and vanilla ice cream. My wife loved the affogato ice cream. Lots of parking and no wait. We got there around 11am. Chill place to hang out around. I would definitely come back anytime I was in Vegas.

    Wonderful experience my first time dining here. I was seated immediately and given my own pitcher of water which was nice, since it was 114f outside. My server was a handsome young man named Omar who was polite and attentive. He explained the menu and let me know everything on it was included in the AYCE. Something's were one per customer. I ordered various sashimi . The soft shell crab, a roll, seaweed salad and some stuffed fried jalapeños with a name, I won't repeat here. But it was all delicious. The quality was great , the flavors were on point, and the speed at which they came were the fastest I've ever experienced anywhere in my life. ! If there was anything at all to criticize, it was the portion sizes of the sushi sashimi. They were some of the smallest I've ever seen. HOWEVER! , it's all you can eat so in this case , you're not losing anything. If anything , you're getting to try more sushi because you don't get full too quickly. I love this place and will go back next time I'm in town.

    My family and I dined at Sakana for dinner during our trip to Las Vegas. It was our first time and we had a positive experience all around. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great, especially for it being an AYCE spot. Lots of variety and we all left full and happy. Sakana is located in a shopping center off of the Las Vegas strip. It's not too far from the strip, but definitely not walkable. There is free parking shared among the businesses in the shopping center with several spots directly in front of the restaurant. We came in for dinner on a weekday and they were pretty busy. We had a little bit of a wait before someone was able to take our order, but after that initial order, service was attentive and quick. We tried several items off of their menu and everything was tasty. Some distinct favorites included: - Salmon Lover roll - Garlic Salmon nigiri - Seared Lemon Salmon nigiri The yum yum sauce was also...yummy! Fish was fresh and wait time to receive our orders were quick. Sakana has quickly become one of our favorite AYCE sushi spots in Vegas. We would definitely stop by again. A memorable first visit for sure.

    Yellowtail Carpaccio
    Kristopher L.

    Date of Visit: 7/23/26 Time of Visit: 5:20pm While in Vegas with my group of 4 adults and 2 kids, we wanted to try out this highly rated AYCE sushi restaurant that's away from The Strip. We were excited that we did not have to wait for a table since we arrived right near the start of traditional dinner time. After we looked through the menu, we ordered a wide variety of sushi, specialty cut rolls, and carpaccio style fish. The quality of the sushi was not impressive to me and my group. We consider ourselves quite well-versed in the realm of AYCE sushi restaurants because we frequently visit them around the LA/OC area as well as when we visit Las Vegas several times a year. The most common concern my group had about the sushi was the fact that most of the time they were too saucy. In fact, the sauce quite literally overpowered the taste of the fresh fish. On the cut rolls, we also noticed that the rice was on the mushy side, which was likely a byproduct of the extraneous sauce used to drench the rolls with. The biggest kicker came when I ordered the very last item from the menu right before dessert. I ordered one order of Tamago, which is sweet egg on top of sushi rice. Keeping in mind the fact that this sushi is extremely common and is typically served at all sushi restaurants I've ever been to. In the 15+ years of going to a wide variety of sushi restaurants (both a la carte style and AYCE style), I've never ever had WARM tamago! It created confusion on my part when I received the dish onto the table. I took a bite of the egg and it was horrendous. It's an absolute travesty that the egg was served warm. I could easily tell that the egg was simply microwaved because it was dry on the outside. Every other restaurant I've been to, the tamago was served chilled. With everything said and done, the only saving grace for this restaurant was the dessert. The deep fried banana was quite good, and I've would've been much happier and satisfied eating multiple orders of that dessert. I am strongly recommending for this restaurant to institute serious improvements and there's no way they should continue to serve Tamago as a microwaved sushi.

    We were very pleased and happy my daughter found this restaurant on Yelp while we were in Vegas! The reviews did not disappoint us or let us down! There was some major construction in the neighborhood, so it took us in circles but we finally arrived! The restaurant is quaint and located in a strip mall. Parking was crazy, and we had quite a few panhandlers walk up to us as we waited outside for our table. The restaurant is smaller but extremely crowded. Many patrons were dining there, and we can understand why. We ordered a variety of dishes, appetizers and desserts. Each one was fresh and had great flavoring! We did not order the AYCE. We ordered several rolls and they were 5/5. The rice was fresh and so was the fish. There were not any aftertaste or seaside smells at all. They didn't overcompensate by drowning the rules in sauces. You can actually taste everything which was very refreshing. The muscles were cooked properly. They were not overcooked or undercooked. They were not too watery like most places. They actually used real missago. The only thing that I would suggest is to maybe spend a little bit more time cleaning the shells. We ordered several appetizers such as the taoyaki, tempura, edamame and a few others. I love the way the temper was nice and crispy on the outside and the shrimp was still tender and fully cooked. The edamame was not watered down and had the right amount of salt. The taiyaki actually had chunks of octopus and not just smush seafood and sauce in the middle. The desserts were okay, we asked for green tea but they gave us something different. The tempora fried ice cream was a little too battered. The service was pretty good even though they were extremely busy. They did come and check on us a couple of times and we did have to wave them down a few times. However they were friendly and definitely did respond to us when we asked for additional items. We definitely do not have any complaints about this restaurant. We will definitely be coming back. We highly recommend it.

    Came in planning to grab a seat at the bar... only to find out there isn't one! A couple walked in right after me looking for the same thing, so we all ended up sitting together and making the best of it. We ordered so much food that I completely forgot to take pictures of everything, but that's usually a good sign! The service was excellent, and the speed at which the food and drinks came out was spot on. Everything arrived quickly, and we never felt like we were waiting on anything. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center, which is always a plus. Overall, a great experience, good food, good drinks, and a fun unexpected dining crew. I'd definitely come back!

    Sakana Sushi is an okay option if you're on a budget and want to try a variety of different items. They offer an all-you-can-eat option, but the portions are quite small and there are some limitations on what you can order. A few of the dishes also didn't really taste like what I would expect compared to ordering the same items at a more traditional sushi restaurant but, realistically, you get what you pay for. On the positive side, the service was surprisingly quick, friendly, and attentive, which we really appreciated. Overall, it's a decent choice for the price if you're looking for an inexpensive way to sample different sushi and Japanese dishes.

    There were lots of options to order, other than just sushi, such as appetizers and skewers. The service was really great, with our server coming over often to make sure we were taken care of. I enjoyed all the different rolls we ordered.

    I came here after my bodybuilding show because it was open late and my friend said that it was a sister restaurant of the 888 chains. I was SO excited because I was craving sushi and I also love 888! The nigiri was the only thing I ordered (after learning my lesson not to get rolls from another sushi buffet). It is also the only thing that is really worth it considering the rice to fish ratio is AMAZING. My favorites were the fatty tuna and Uni. The quality of the fish was also top notch and literally nothing was bad. Overall, I would definitely come here again and just get the nigiri. Totally worth your money!

    Yes… It’s Sushi

    How long is for the waiting line?

    From my own experience, we have never had to wait more than 5 minutes

    Is there any waitlist and how do I join the waitlist?

    There is no wait list without physically going to the restaurant. No app and you can't call to get in line, you have to show up to the hostess. They will then put your name on the list and text you when your table is ready.

    What are the prices for lunch and dinner?

    $25.95 for lunch $34.95 for dinner.... It is in huge print plain sight on top of the menu.

    Yes.

    Does this place have the all you can drink option for $9.99 like sushi neko?

    No, it does not.

    Are you open Christmas Day 2024?

    Yes, Sakana is opened during all Holidays.

    About lunch AYCE time.. It is 11:00-3:00pm. What does that mean? Do I just need to arrive by 3 pm? or do I have to finish eating by 3 pm?

    Do they accept reservations? Tried calling a few times and couldn't get through to anyone. Thanks in advance!

    They don't take reservations

    Is the lunch menu the same as the dinner menu?

    Same physical menu at both times of day, but there are a couple premium items included in the "All Day" price. (The menu shows which items are only available for the "all day" price. For example, nigiri such as sea urchin, salmon belly, amaebi, etc.… 

    Why is there an AYCE price and a la carte prices on the menu?

    The place is all you can eat, if you don't want to pay the 28.99 forall you can eat you can buy items at regular menu prices.

    Do you take reservations? If so, what is a good reachable phone number to call because I have tried every number that you have posted and I am unable to reach you.

    I made an online reservation

    Are there tv's inside to watch sports?

    No there isn't

    Do you have free parking?

    Do you have gluten free soy sauce?

    Yes they do, make sure you ask the server when you get there.

    All you can eat?

    YES!!! And it's worth it! Great sushi and fast service.

    Can they turn down the volume or change the music, can be obnoxious?

    go somewhere else

    I've been trying to call for about 20 minutes to make a reservation, but the phone is always busy. Wondering of they hang up their phone correctly?

    They are not take reservation.

    Are you open on Christmas day?

    Rachel is the reason we keep coming back to Sammy's…read more Some bartenders pour drinks. Rachel builds a whole experience. From the second you walk in, she greets you like family, and before you've even settled onto your stool, your drink is already on its way, made exactly how you like it. Mine's a Tanqueray and tonic, my wife's is a lemon drop, and Rachel has never once needed a reminder. She doesn't just do that for us. She knows everyone at that bar by name and exactly what they drink. And those drinks are killer. Her lemon drop is perfectly balanced, never too sweet, and my T&T comes out crisp and right every time. You can tell she takes real pride in her craft. But what really sets her apart is her energy. Rachel lights up the whole room. She's quick, she's funny, she's warm, and she makes a busy bar feel like your neighborhood spot. She's juggling a full bar and still makes every person feel like the most important customer there. Mark my words: one day Rachel is going to be running her own place, and when she does, we'll be the first ones through the door. Until then, Sammy's is lucky to have her. If you're coming in, sit at the bar and ask for Rachel. You'll thank me later.

    This was my absolute worst airport food experience and I travel twice a week for my job…read more The only decent part of our experience was the server that greeted us. It went downhill from there. I ordered an omelette but was served a scrambled mess. When I told her I ordered an omelette not scrambled eggs she said "oh that's how he cooked it". I couldn't put enough salt and pepper to make it edible. The breakfast potatoes weren't even warm and had no flavor at all. My wife ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and no peppers. It came with sausage and peppers. What a waste!

    The glorious Double Down Saloon. In the modern era of glitzy, flashy, and ultra processed Vegas,…read morethe DD will provide you with an absolute respite from all of that the moment you walk in the door. This is a glorious punk-oriented dive bar. That should be real clear from the distance you have to travel into a very undescript section of Vegas to get to it. On the outside, everything should already be screaming YES to you if you have a taste for great bars like these. For example, the first time I ever visited, on top of the marquee bill was Jello Biafra. Yeah it's like that. The music, the vibe, the crud - it's all on point. The cocktails are colorfully named and presented (I'm sure plenty of reviews will highlight the toilet shot) but I'd say they're kind of the weakest part of this joint. Just stick to straight booze, rejoice that you're not surrounded by as loud AF bachelorette party on a casino floor, and get hammered in the "Happiest Place on Earth'.

    Fantastic grungy dive bar in Las Vegas!…read more I honestly can't believe it's taken us so long to check this venue out, especially since concerts are always free here. Our favorite punk band, The Mormons, happened to be playing here which is what drew us in. Loved the atmosphere with dollar bills and some R rated photo strips hanging around the bar area along with various stickers & graffiti filling the rest of the space. Truly feels like a quintessential Vegas dive bar. Bartenders weren't overly friendly, just there to do their job, but they served beers / cocktails quickly. We had a few PBR's which were $5 each. Fellow patrons were really friendly. I even made a friend during the show! For anyone with sensitive ears, the speakers are LOUD, so be sure to bring your ear protection. I loved the loud music, but my husband was suffering a bit. As per a usual dive bar, it is also smoky inside. If cigarette smoke bothers you, snag a spot near the entrance since they leave the door open for fresh air. This was everything I expected from a dive bar with a small stage for cool bands. We'll be back!
