While recently visiting Vegas, my husband and I visited Sakana for a late dinner. It was great that there was no wait and service was quick. The nigiri was delicious and fresh and the rice to fish ratio was great. There was a great selection of sushi, everything was fresh, everything was tasty, and we plan on coming back. I especially loved that tempura ice cream was included with the AYCE buffet. Tempura ice cream and fried ice cream is one of my favorite desserts and it did not disappoint. More places really need to serve it. YUM!!!! We will definitely be coming back to Sakana on future visits. This is a great place to grab delicious sushi that is great quality, better than most regular sushi restaurants from back home, let alone AYCE restaurants.

Came here on a weekday lunch ($25.95) and was promptly seated. There's a lot of parking in the lot but they're kinda on the side so it's not as much. They have a fair amount of standard items on their menu, from appetizers to skewers, hand rolls, rolls, and nigiri. I opted for a bunch of their salmon nigiri and I was really happy with the amount of fish to rice ratio. I enjoyed having less of the rice here and their sushi was fresh. I did also enjoy their yuzu yellowtail as well. Their no name hand roll (with soy paper) has shrimp tempura, eel, salmon, and crunch to it and was flavorful. They also gave a choice of ice cream at the end, so save some room for it!

SAKANA IS SIMPLY THE BEST! Sakana has officially become our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE sushi restaurant, and for good reason! Their all-you-can-eat menu is loaded with an incredible variety, so there's always something delicious to try. As someone who prefers sushi without rice, I especially appreciate their no-rice options! They may only have two no-rice rolls, but their seafood salad with assorted fish and cucumber is SO delicious, and their Jalapeño Bomb is an absolute MUST every single visit! Their nigiri is also fantastic--the rice-to-fish ratio is perfect, allowing the fresh fish to shine without being overwhelmed by rice! One of my favorite things is that they offer full or half rolls on most of their sushi selections, making it easy to try even more of their amazing menu. Add in their huge selection of appetizers, including edamame, and there's no shortage of options to keep your taste buds happy! And PLEASE, whatever you do, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! Their fried banana with ice cream is my go-to every single time. It's the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal! But what truly makes Sakana special is the staff. The food is amazing, the selection is fantastic, and the people make the entire experience that much better. You can have great sushi anywhere, but when you combine delicious food with genuinely wonderful service, you have something special. Sakana isn't just our favorite sushi spot anymore--it's THE sushi spot we compare everyone else to! If you haven't been, you're seriously missing out!

I LOVE Sakana! One of my favorite and go-to places for AYCE. So so flavorful, and worth every penny. The amount of fish you get for every nigiri is toooo good. I love this restaurant. Please go here. The service is always, always so good. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and efficient. It's nice for a date night, a dinner with family, or a night out with friends.

Garlic Salmon

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!

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.

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!

The food was amazing! The service was very good. The restaurant was very busy, but there was a lively and exciting atmosphere. There was a 30 minute wait, but it was well worth it! I highly recommend!

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.

ONLY one dessert item per costume

Service is great, food is good. But it is off strip and don't expect nothing fancy! But I was not comfortable with the fact that deserts are only one and single one item per person. I asked for green tea icecream and affogato and I was told that I could pick ONLY one item from the dessert menu!

They offer all-you-can-eat for around $35, which honestly seems like a great deal if you can put down some sushi , but we knew we wouldn't eat enough to make it worth it, so we opted to order à la carte instead. We started with the pork belly, which was actually the only thing we didn't care for, so we ended up sending that back. Everything after that, though, was SO good. The garlic spicy salted edamame was delicious and such a good way to start. We also tried several of their all-day specials--the yellowtail carpaccio, crunchy onion albacore, and seared bluefin tuna--and all three were delicious. Normally the specials are limited to one per person with AYCE, but since we were ordering à la carte, we could order however many we wanted. For rolls, I got the A Little Tease Roll and really enjoyed it. My husband got the Call 911 roll, and judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say he loved his too . My son kept it simple with a California roll and a cup of rice, which worked perfectly for him. We also shared a lychee nigiri, one of my favorites, and it was super yummy. The ambiance is probably one of my favorite things about this place. It's really fun and feels like somewhere you could come for a date night, but it's still completely comfortable for families. It would also be a great spot to come with a group. The surrounding area looks a little sketchy, so don't let that throw you off. Once you walk inside, it seriously feels like you've been transported somewhere completely different. The restaurant itself is really nice and has such a fun vibe. Definitely recommend checking this place out and trying some of their different sushi rolls and specials. Everything we had (minus the pork belly ) was BOMB. Next time we're in Vegas, we'll absolutely come back and try some more!

We decided to sit at the sushi bar, which turned out to be a great choice. It gave us the opportunity to interact with the chef and watch him prepare everything right in front of us. You could immediately tell how talented and experienced he was just by watching his knife skills and the care he put into every dish. We started with the Albacore Tuna, cut into six beautiful slices. It was incredibly tender and practically melted in our mouths. It was so good that we ate it before we even thought about taking a picture! I ended up finding a photo of it on TARU's website because it deserved to be included. Next, we had a Salmon Roll, and then we decided to put ourselves in the chef's hands and asked him to make us a Chef's Surprise. He prepared a beautiful plate featuring four different types of fish, and this time we remembered to take a picture! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. To finish the evening, the chef surprised us with a dessert of fresh oranges with a touch of liqueur. It was light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. What really made the evening memorable was the combination of excellent sushi and the personal experience at the sushi bar. Our chef was cordial, engaging, and clearly very talented at his craft. If you enjoy high-quality sushi and are looking for a special experience while in Las Vegas, TARU is definitely worth a visit. We would absolutely go back!

Chef Shuji runs the restaurant with his wife next to him in the kitchen. The fish here is flown in from Japan and of the highest quality as you can see from the sheen and fat marbling. The tuna melts in your mouth and bite after bite is a wonderful experience as you pair it with soy sauce, fresh Wasabi, yuzu Wasabi, or some combination of the condiments provided. This is also the first sushi restaurant I have ever been to that automatically brings out fresh Wasabi without having to ask. The portions are generous and we left feeling very satisfied. Even though we were very full, we took a look at the dessert menu. Not pictured here is a sweet potato with ice cream and brown sugar glaze. This dish on the menu was unassuming but the taste was so decadent. Quite possibly the best and sweetest sweet potato I have ever tasted. The chef slowly roasts them over a 2 hour period, rotating the potatoes every so slightly every 15 minutes. The sweet potato could be a dessert by itself, it was that good! Chef Shuji is a charming and funny host. He regularly comes out to greet his customers and makes sure they are enjoying their meal, very high-touch. If you know Japanese - even if it's just a few phrases, speak with him as he will be delighted. He was absolutely tickled when we said arigato and he shared that he is originally from Kyoto. Cannot wait to return to Shigotonin!
