We came in hungry on the third day of our trip, and the food and service DID NOT disappoint! We were greeted and given our choice of tables, and seated quickly by the friendly server. We ordered a variety of Nigiri, as well as rolls and some tempura, a sampling of a little bit of everything. All the food was fresh, tasty, and ingredients proportioned perfectly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is clean and cool[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and it's conveniently located amongst some of our favorite places to shop. First time here and will definitely not be our last! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy,friendly vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered Pork Katsu Bento box. Potion is so very generous. It came with miso soup too. The bento box includes salad, California rolls, shrimp & vegetables tempura, a nice sized pork katsu and a good portion of white rice. I couldn't finished the whole thing! Price is very reasonable! The service was excellent as well. I went there before 4:30 ish. A few tables were occupied. Quickly the restaurant filled up. The single server who was calm, very efficiently and seemingly effortless served every table. Most of all she kept a smiling face all the time. Highly recommend and most definitely will be returning. read more

This was my first time at Sawa Sushi (and also my first sushi experience in Las Vegas that wasn't AYCE) and I was pleasantly surprised! I went on a weekday evening, and it wasn't too busy, so we were seated quickly and our food came out fast. They have a great buy 2, get 1 free deal on rolls, so we tried the Rockin' Roll, Monkey Brain Roll, and Japanese Lasagna Roll. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Unlike many AYCE spots, each roll felt distinct and thoughtfully made, both in flavor and presentation. The portion size was perfect for two hungry people, though I think we could've easily added an appetizer or another roll and still finished everything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The overall atmosphere was calm and clean, making for an enjoyable and relaxed dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm really glad to have found a solid sushi spot nearby that serves high-quality rolls without the AYCE rush. Definitely planning to come back when the sushi cravings hit! read more

One of my fav sushi spots in Vegas! I go here at least once a month or so. They don't have all-you-can-eat, but they offer a great buy 2 rolls, get 1 free deal. Service is always excellent, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the space is inviting and cozy, and they play smooth jazz.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not flashy, and that's how I like it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

For $18.50 I think the Beef Teriyaki Bento Box is a great deal considering the variety you get: Beef Teriyaki (thinly sliced), Rice, 8ct California Roll, Side Salad, Miso Soup, and assorted Tempura! Definitely dine in as always good is better freshly made. One thing though I would ask to have the tempura a little more well done, it wasn't as crispy as I'd like. Great service and good experience! read more

Sawa Sushi is definitely one of my husband's go-to locations. We enjoy their buy two get one free deal on sushi rolls. My husband and I have our go-to choices on the menu and it's so great that the server there remembers our orders. The workers there make you feel welcome and their service is great. The sushi chefs are so nice and their presentation of food is nice. Overall, our experiences with Sawa Sushi have always been great. Love coming here. They never disappoint read more

Ate here 2 nights in a row. The bento box dinner is super affordable and comes with a ton of food. Everything comes out steaming hot and super fresh. Service is great too, very family-owned vibe. We will definitely be regulars from here on. Cheaper than what I would spent for a sad mcdonalds meal anyway! read more

I love Sawa. It's one of those hole in the wall places that, despite their resistance to modernize anything (no tap pay, no online ordering, no consistent menu engineering), they do what they do really well. Service is always phenomenal. Brittany is our favorite server. I found this little gem through Yelp, noticed they had a little deal - buy 2 signature rolls and get one free. The first roll I ever ordered was the Hawaiian Roll. Not sure if it's the actual roll itself or the nostalgia of it being my first love on their menu, but it's what I classify as the perfect roll. It's simple, nothing too special, yet it's the BEST at Sawa. Other places offer a roll similar, but for some reason Sawa's is better. Service is quick, servers get to know you quickly as their staff seems to be the same(ish) since we started eating here about 5 years ago. My go-to favorites: Hawaiian Roll Maui Maui Garlic Albacore Also I need to note that they are one of the few to serve Inari consistently. For babies / toddlers this is a favorite and for some reason a lot of other places don't offer it, or even know what it is LOL. My daughter loves their Inari. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is small, yet welcoming. It does get crowded quick, but because service is fast, I've never really seen people wait too long[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. After giving up sushi for 9 months while pregnant, Sawa was the first thing I asked for after giving birth, while I was still in the hospital. LOL! I hope Sawa is around forever. I love them! read more

Solid Japanese fare in south LV. On way home, daughters were craving Japanese food so they split a tempura udon, edamame, and ikura sushi. Matsu combo had 7 pieces of nigiri and California rolls. The rice quality was subpar but fish was decent. Tempura was actually ebi fry. But delicious. Salmon skin salad was refreshing they add shichimi to spice up the dressing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, nice strip mall dive for a Japanese bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly. read more

Had a great lunch at Sawa Sushi. Maybe the best sushi we've ever eaten and that's saying something.

I've eaten here before and had forgotten how good it was! Sawa Sushi, located on Blue Diamond Rd, is nestled between an optometry practice and Sport Clips. Fair warning: the restaurant is in a small space with one server and about 1-2 sushi chefs. It can get pretty crowded during peak hours. [Parking] plentiful! Dont worry, you'll be able to find a spot. I recently came in to have lunch with my sister. We skipped the lunch specials and ordered from their Buy 2 get 1 free menu. We had: * House salad - we loved the ginger dressing and the portion was big enough for the both of us (we didn't even finish it). * Edamame - warm and sprinkled with salt. Yum * Krabby Patty Roll - deep friend and topped with imitation crab. The sauce was delicious, and we also dipped it into the ginger salad dressing. * Crispy Rice Roll - crunchy and tasty. [Service] excellent! Our server did a great job juggling multiple tables while keeping everyone happy. Overall: 5 stars. Reasonable prices, great service, and good food. Enjoy! read more

Date night is on a Friday at my place and on a Saturday at my boyfriend's place. Our recent date night fell on a Saturday and we chose to go to Sawa Sushi, located on Blue Diamond in the building right next to In-N-Out. We love sushi and we haven't had it in a while. We walked in and it was very busy! One of the waitresses there greeted us and guided us to a table in the back next to the sushi bar. With so many sushi joints here in town, it's always hard to pick just one favorite. This joint had lots of sushi options to choose from, and we chose to go with three different sushi types. We started off with fried calamari with dipping sauce as our appetizer. The calamari was crispy and had a great taste to it, but I did not get the chance to try the dipping sauce. For sushi, we chose the Philadelphia Roll (one of my all time favorites), the Rainbow Roll, and the Crunchy Dragon Roll. The Philadelphia Roll and Rainbow Roll were spot on and had lots of flavor to them. My boyfriend said that the Crunchy Dragon Roll, which he ordered for himself, was excellent. I shared the Rainbow Roll with him and I thought it was really good too. I really liked this sushi place! I would like to come back again in the future. read more

I'm obsessed with sushi wrapped in cucumber and this place will literally cucumber wrap any roll on their menu. I was a bit disappointed when I asked him for no cucumber skin on my sushi and the chef told my waitress that it's always cucumber skin on the rolls, but that just isn't fully true because I've definitely come to this establishment several times and had them remove the skin completely with no issues. I just wish it was a matching ambiance to the amazing taste of the food lol. read more

Great customer service! We always come here for the bento box! It's amazing...we will be returning again and again!

My friend took me here, & then I took my husband here for lunch. Oh my gosh! Be warned, the Bento Box Lunch is super big! So much food I had two meals out of it! I had the Teriyaki Salmon, it came with CA rolls, tempura, miso soup, salad, rice, & 2 HUGE salmon filets! I also ordered a side of sushi with it, which I probably didn't need. I could taste the freshness and quality of the food here. The sushi chefs are excellent at preparing good looking dishes! We ate at the sushi bar. The service was quick. We will definitely be coming back again! read more

Sawa Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We just moved in the southern highlands area so we've been exploring this side of town and the food options in the neighboring area. There's not really a legit sushi spot in this area that I've found. We've frequented Sapporo Revolving Sushi most just for the price and the staff but we decided to try somewhere else. Sawa Sushi is an a la carte sushi restaurant on blue diamond. I would describe the place as casual- there is not a ton of decor or ambience. They are known for their sushi roll special, which I honestly forgot what it was, but I believe it was buy to get one free. We did one of their sushi boats, which came with special rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. We also got a couple appetizers. I tend to like à la cart sushi places for the quality. Overall this place was more like a 3.5 out of five. I thought it was about average as far as food goes. I didn't love the sushi rice and the portions or rice to fish ratio weren't anything special. It's kind of just a run of the mill sushi spot. I did think the server was really nice and made the experience pleasant which is why this is getting a round up from the 3.5. I believe she had an accent of someone who lived in Hawaii. Overall I think the value is there. The sushi boat fed three of us along with the appetizers. I wouldn't say the taste or quality is anything better than an all you can eat spot so I'd find more value going to an AYCE spot and having a variety to choose from. read more

Lots of imitation (fake) crab, "spicy" chopped fish and cream cheese filled rolls to enjoy. It doesn't seem to be a very authentic Japanese sushi restaurant even though its business profile highlights it. The hot green tea though was served properly frothed (it wasn't in a tea bag). Curious why they don't spell crab with a "K" (i.e. Krab) or note it's not actually crab but flavored seafood blend? The amount of pickled ginger and wasabi provided for two people was minimal. Service was attentive and welcoming. We ordered four special rolls. Noticed the pieces of fish were very small. We did find rolls that didn't contain imitation crab and chopped spicy fish parts. While the seaweed salad was enjoyable, the portion served was extremely small. Rating it 2* as we anticipated it'd be a more authentic Japanese sushi venue based on its marketing. The wasabi wasn't fresh and portion was small, soy sauce wasn't homemade, and lots of spicy fish parts and fake crab. When compared to other sushi restaurants in Vegas, it's on the OK list. The main ingredient in imitation crab is surimi, (Alaskan Pollock), which is typically mixed with water, starch, sodium, sugar, egg whites, vegetable oil, and additives such as Gums, red colorant, Glutamates, artificial flavoring and preservatives. It has often has less nutritional value than real crab; therefore, it'd be helpful if restaurants that use Fake or Imitation-Crab spell crab with a K (Krab) so consumers aren't misled at point of sale and they can chose to consume imitation crab or not. read more

Let me just start off saying.....this is NOT AYCE My son and I come here for lunch on occasion and we love this place! The service is always phenomenal and the food always taste delicious. Between the both of us we share a bento box and can't even finish it. It's very filling! If you're in the mood for some rolls they are also very delicious but will definitely rack up your bill! I believe the deal is buy 2 get 1 free. I recommend giving this place a try if you want sushi but don't want to stuff your face. read more

Was waiting for some work to be done at Discount Tire nearby and decided to pop into Sawa Sushi for a quick lunch, so glad I did! I ordered two plates of seared salmon and a Japanese lasagna roll, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seared salmon was delicious and the Japanese lasagna had the perfect balance of textures and flavors. What really stood out was the service, absolutely excellent. The staff made me feel truly welcomed from start to finish, with friendly smiles and attentive care. It's rare to find a place that combines great food with equally great hospitality, but they nail it. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite sushi spot in Vegas. The fish is fresh, soft, delicate, and delicious. This is my husbands an I third time here. We went for the Sawa boat this time. It's the best combo if you want sashimi, nigiri, and your choice of two special rolls. I love having their spicy ponzu sauce to dip sashimi or nigiri in. The staff is kind and attentive. I love it here. read more
