    Samba Strip
    Rachel L.

    This place is located inside the Palazzo side at the Venetian hotel. The restaurant is huge and has a very nice ambiance. I came on a Thursday evening and it was so busy. I got the miso soup, steak, grilled fish, asparagus, wagyu gyoza and yellowtail tacos. Everything was delicious! I particularly love the fish, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I am a huge fan of the Peruvian and Japanese flavours mix. Their dishes are perfect for sharing and the option to try a bit of everything. The service was quick and the food came out really fast given how busy it was. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

    Tasty but pricey! This is definitely an occasion dinner for us. The interior is super cool and the place is gigantic. We usually sit in the main area you see in the front but we got taken to another large area in the back. Service was excellent and food came out perfect. If you have room in the budget and a party of 4, I recommend the cocktail tree it's so fun! Drink: - Lychee Cooler cocktail - yummy and sweet, comes with a lychee on top and a large green leaf shooting up Dinner: - JAPANESE A5 KOBE GYOZA* - soooo good and worth it to try - Shishito Peppers - always a good idea for apps - CHURRASCO RIO GRANDE* - yummy tasty steak with dipping sauces and other good stuff - SAMBA VEGAS roll - fish on top of crispy rice, good but overpriced - NEO TOKYO* roll - has tuna and super good our fave

    Still love everything about Sushisamba! They have a kids menu too !!!! Love the service and the ambiance. They are very attentive and the sushi is amazingly fresh .

    Coconut Matcha Sour
    Heather R.

    Sushisamba is on the pricier side, but is one of the few places where I can honestly say the food is well worth the price tag. My friends all agreed, and we are very particular when it comes to good sushi. We ordered a bunch of different things as we were a fairly large group, ranging from ramen and chicken dishes to the raw stuff. I had the pleasure of trying: -Asevichado Roll: So many types of fish on one roll. Every bite was delicious. I wish it was a slightly larger roll, because I didn't want it to end. -Shrimp Tempura Handroll: A simple, basic handroll, mbut a good size and good flavor. The shrimp was perfectly fried. -Coconut Matcha Sour (gin): If you like sweet, tropical tasting drinks, this is incredible. It's definitely more of a dessert type cocktail but it paired so nicely with the sushi rolls. It is light on the matcha, and very coconut forward. I personally loved it. -Hamapeño Roll: They warned us that the sauce was spicy and I loved the kick it gave to the roll. This was my favorite roll from what I tried. I didn't find it too spicy at all. The first plantain balanced the roll perfectly. -Yuzu Shots (gin): Fun, not too potent to get down. These were unique and tasty. They came in a cool tasting tree. Other notes: -Our server was fantastic and helped us celebrate a fun night for a friend. -The ambiance and decor is sophisticated and modern. Great for a date night. -Bathrooms: So clean and the bathroom attendant was so helpful and well, attentive.

    Way too loud
    Patrick B.

    OSHA states you must have hearing protection above 85 db for exposure above an hour. Well this place smokes the hearing of their staff and anyone else that is there for a meal. It was so loud I downloaded a db recorder. My wife and I believe it was not as loud when I recorded this as it was during our first 30 minutes of hazardous noise exposure. The food was good, not great. The ambiance was horrible . Crazy loud . Was told this is normal by waiter "like Carnival in Rio". Don't waste your time or your money or your voice. $160 meal for two and table next to us was screaming at each other to be heard. I can't emphasize enough not to go. If you want to pretend you're at a concert - go.

    Stopped by for a drink while exploring Las Vegas! Found this place tucked away but so happy we did! The drinks we had were incredible and the bar tenders were super friendly and attentive! We were there in the middle of the day so it was pretty quiet but it was a great spot to grab a drink! And even though we didn't get any food, the menu looked incredible! So next time I'm here I am definitely getting something to eat!

    Rock Shrimp Tempura
    Gregg R.

    This place was a little difficult to find but the food and service were excellent. The rock shrimp was fantastic. It was cooked perfectly and love the sauce. The wagyu dumplings are good but I could not tell if it was wagyu or not so don't think it was worth the higher price. The service was spot on and attentive. Overall it was a great experience and I left so full!

    Ambiance: Restaurant was a lot larger than expected. You could come in jeans with a cute top or come in a dress - both fit the ambiance. It's a little loud in there especially when they do their performance which seemed to happen every hour Service: Service was good. Nothing really to note. Food: Almost everything we got were great! The sea bass is what they're known for & now I get why. It was delicious along with the type of corn. All of the sushi we got were great (asevichado was my fav). the crispy taquitos were also tasty. out of everything we ordered, the rock shrimp was my least fav

    Elisa G.

    I'm obsessed with Sushi Samba and can't wait until I get to try their West Hollywood location! Our waitress Carolyn is GREAT and so is the tiradito!! I love the Peruvian flair especially the corn!! I recommend sitting at a booth instead of the sushi bar. Be sure to order the sea bass yakitori. We had 2 orders yesterday and they were grilled to perfection!

    Must try! Miso seabass skewers.  5/5
    Sandy S.

    If you're in the Palazzo don't skip this restaurant. 5 stars all the way. Service is great and fast and food comes out fresh and fast as well. One of the best sushi restaurant in Vegas.

    Seafood Mixta
    Tiana R.

    My wife and I just got married about two weeks ago and we wanted to have a two week celebration! Our server Jeff went above and beyond to make this night special and memorable! He is an exceptional person and we absolutely adore him! Phil the manager was so welcoming and brought us a beautiful appetizer in honor of our celebration! The food is 10 out of 10, the ambiance is such a vibe and the staff were friendly and attentive! Please come see these amazing people at sushi samba!

    I was so excited to finally get to try this place out. Sushisamba is located inside the Venetian. I was excited to see how they would bring in the cultural flavors of 3 countries into their mix ( Japan, Brazil and Peru) Two hungry adults before going to the Sphere ordered: - Pao de queijo: If you ever had Brazilian cheese bread, this is what it is. What made this one of my favorite dishes was the honey truffle butter. I wish I could have gotten the exact recipe for this because it was truly outstanding. ($10) - We ordered two rolls. The spicy tuna ($12) and the salmon avocado rolls ($11). Both rolls were decent. We were not expecting a full order but little to say we were more than happy to eat them since they were delicious and fresh. The spicy tuna roll was our favorite of the two. - One order of the assorted vegetable tempura. This was my least favorite dish only because I wasnt a fan of the mushroom and the napa like vegetable that was in the mix was very difficult to eat. We did enjoy the Peruvian pepper dipping sauce. ($11) - One order of the yellow tail tiradito with lemongrass and jalapeno. MMMMmmm this was FRESH!! Highly recommend an order of this. ($10) - One old fashion cocktail ($14) You know I love me an old fashion. I was excited to try it with Iwai Japanese whisky. The ice ball was crystal clear, the taste was strong and it gave me a really nice buzz to be honest. It was delicious and would totally order again. The staff was attentive and always made sure we had water and that our food was tasting great. It was all brought out as it was done since we were told by our lovely waitress that they have 3 kitchens! The mood of the place is chill and has a nice vibe for a date night, girls night or even just for you to go and enjoy by yourself. It wasn't loud, it was clean and had plenty of seating. Highly recommended to make reservations if you have a larger party. I would love to come back and try more items off their menu. Great happy hour aka Samba hour!! (at the bar area only) Sunday through Friday 3PM - 6PM | 11PM - CLOSE

    Gyoza and taquitos
    Denny T.

    I haven't been here in a long time, but remembered the food was really good, so I decided to come in for a quick meal in between gambling sessions. I came around 3pm and had a seat at the bar for their sambahour happy hour. Came on a Tuesday, so it wasn't busy at all. I love an old fashioned and the one here is really good. Japanese whiskey they use is pretty good and the drink was nicely mixed by the bartender. Just the right amount of sweetness and really refreshing. For the food, I got the gyoza, crispy yellowtail taquitos, pork ribs, and spicy tuna sushi. Food wasn't spectacular, but was all really tasty. Pork ribs were especially tasty and fall off the bone tender. It's the happy hour menu, so the portions were obviously not that big. However, I ate all of these by myself and was surprisingly full. Total was around $78 before tip, so it is still a little more on the expensive side. However, bartenders were nice and friendly and the food and drinks were pretty good.

    Sushisamba Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Sushisamba

    Is happy hour available in the entire restaurant or only seated at the bar?

    Entire restaurant

    When's happy hour?

    Sun-fri 3-6

    When does your kitchen close on Friday night? Thank you!

    It's midnight at least - was there in November and this was the only place in the Palazzo on a Sunday night that had a late night kitchen and we ate at the bar at midnight

    Can you pay by cash?

    Yes

    Price all you can eat?

    No it's a higher end restaurant that's not focused on sushi

    Is it buffet?

    No, it's a full menu of items to order individually.

    What is the corkage fee?

    $35

    Is there a dress code? some yelp reviews mention a dress code but there's nothing mentioned about it on the website.

    All three of us were dressed casual- shorts & shirts & my husband had a tank top on so I think that may be why we were seated in their beautiful & large back room that we absolutely loved!

    Do you have gluten free options and gluten free soy sauce?

    Hello Brittany, We have both a gluten free menu and soy sauce.

    Is this the same SUSHISAMBA from Japan?

    Can you order and take out? Also can you customize some of the rolls? For example add some things to avocado rolls?

    Yes you can order take out and customize rolls. Thank you for the inquiry.

    Good for kids?

    It depends on the timing. For lunch or an early dinner, I would say yes. I also suggest letting them know the age of your kids and I trust they will seat you in the best place for your group.

    Does the restaurant have soy wraps available for substitution instead of the seaweed?

    Yes! They offer soy wrap substitutes!

    Kids menu? Yes or no?

    Not a kids place

    What time is happy hour?

    They call it Samba hour. Its Sun – Fri, 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, 11:00 PM to close. They also have brunch. Saturday and Sunday 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM

    Still a good place to go if we don't eat raw fish?

    Yes there are other dishes such as tempura, ramen bowls , noodles

    We are staying at the Palazzo and was offered resort credit, are we allowed to use the resort credit at the restaurant?

    It works for Venetian resort credit so I would assume the same for Palazzo

You'll find them on the casino floor and if you go left from Golden Circle Sports Bar, they're at the former spot of Las Vegas Yacht Club seafood restaurant. Inside is a lively atmosphere and very spacious, has elegant Japanese style latern and modern decor. You can dine at the bar or table, and there's ample seating. Soft opening was on September 1, 2025. They had their grand opening on October 3, 2025, the same day when they had their liquor license. They offer sake, wine, beer, and san miguel. Menu has a great selection of starters, soup, premiums, house specialty, tofu dish, noodle stir fry, noodle soup, fried rice, desserts and beverages. The Wor Wonton Soup ($18) is excellent and incredibly delicious! Soup broth is nicely seasoned and flavorful, has four big portions of pork & shrimp wontons, tender chicken, succulent shrimp, bok choy, shiitake mushrooms and carrots, it usually includes beef but I ask to omit, and I love how they're able to accommodate. It's so nice to meet Anthony, he's VP, and came by to my table to check in, asked how everything was, he's very welcoming and personable. I also met the head chef, Eduardo, he was the one who prepared the soup, it's superb! I wish more people know about this fantastic restaurant. Not a lot of people know about this hidden gem. Everyone in the staff is kind and accommodating, including Juan, he gave helpful directions where to find them. The dining area is immaculate, has high ceiling, and table seating can accommodate up to 250 people. This is not a traditional Chinese restaurant. Ace Dragon Wok primarily focus on guest curated experiences, and can customize any order especially for dietary needs for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. The chef is well versed in Pan-Asian inspired cuisines, and everything is customizable to the region of preference, such as Malaysian, Indonesian, Tawainese, Japanese (excluding sushi), Filipino, Thai, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Korean. This is all based on reservation, a minimum of two hours advance notice is needed before opening to allow the chef adequate time to prepare a customization menu. They also make their own five spice and chili oil. Service from Joaquin, Anthony, and Juan is very kind, welcoming, attentive, and friendly! Joaquin recommends to try Malay Curry Lime Salmon, it's a spicy dish but they can modify to make it not spicy which is great!

My friends enjoyed the fried bass lathered with savory and sweet fruits and veggies. The jackfruit is delicious! We also had medium rare steak that were sliced and lathered with sauce. It was tender and juicy. The chef gave us a bonus surprise which were the wok fried lobster tails. Thank you Chef AJ and Ace Dragon Wok team for the delicious food and warm welcome!

We came around 10 PM and were given prime seating at a booth with an incredible view. We ordered the Korean wings, pork belly buns, Brussels sprouts, and Wagyu Ny strip. Everything was phenomenal, and I would definitely order again. Wings - I really feel like Asian wings are the absolute GOAT and the ones here are no different. They're fried to perfection with a nice crispy exterior and tender juicy meat. If you like Asian wings, these ones here are pretty hard to beat. Pork belly buns - MUST ORDER! the fattiness from the pork just pairs so well with the freshness from the scallion and cucumbers. Plus a little sweetness from the sauce coupled with the soft buns? 6/5 stars. Wagyu strip - Seriously delicious, and the sauce that they use is heavenly. I usually prefer fattier cuts like ribeyes, but this one really holds its own weight amongst ribeyes. Service was amazing as well, wish I had more money to tip them even more that's how good they treat you.

The restaurant was busy, but with a reservation we were seated within 10 minutes. Our server quickly came over to take our drink order and was very friendly. The restaurant's vibe was trendy and beautiful. For our appetizer, we ordered the edamame and crispy cauliflower. OMG--the cauliflower was delicious! It had the perfect crisp thanks to its light breading and was tossed in a spicy vegan mayo. Even though it had a generous amount of sauce, each piece still maintained its crispy texture. For our entrées, we ordered the Vegetable King Roll with king oyster mushroom, cucumber, avocado, and spicy miso. We also ordered the Truffle Mushroom Spaghetti with the added shrimp option. The spaghetti was perfect. The truffle flavor wasn't overwhelming, but it was definitely present and paired wonderfully with the rich mushroom sauce. For dessert, we ordered the vegan pistachio cheesecake with a side of coconut sorbet. It was so decadent and delicious. The portion was more than enough for the two of us to share and was the perfect way to end the meal. I highly recommend Catch and hope to go back the next time I'm in Las Vegas.

Even though we were staying at the Bellagio my husband and I made a last minute reservation online and came here for a late dinner. The restaurant is beautiful and has great vibes. From the entrance you can tell how pretty it's going to be inside and it did not disappoint. The hostess was not welcoming at all. She checked us in and said wait for our table which is being cleared up. After a few minutes we were seated, not in the mani dining room but the one on the right side which is not as pretty as the main but it's ok I know we made the reservations on that day. So no big deal. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. We started with edamame and shishito pepper. Both fresh and delicious. Then we ordered the ceviche and both of us loved it very much. To be honest both my husband and I were in the mood for sushi so we stuck to ordering sushi. Boy was that a disappointment. The Catch roll was not to our taste , it had crab salmon miso honey and the waiter used a torch to cook the salmon on top. It smelled so bad after he did that. Smelled burnt ... I didn't eat that roll after that. Then we ordered a few cut rolls like salmon tuna yellowtail ... all so basic and no taste. So so disappointing to serve this kind of sushi at a fine restaurant . So it turns out we would have been better off ordering non sushi items from the menu. We could have enjoyed our dinner. So after the last roll we called it a night and left. The reviews said they have excellent sushi but I don't think so. Now I wonder how everything else tastes here. Maybe one day I'll have a better experience with food here. Catch is a premiere place to be seen at I guess cause everyone was dressed up (by the way some very inappropriately) and taking so many pictures all over the restaurant.

    We love coming back here anytime life brings us to Las Vegas. Thank you for having the coolest…read morerestaurant and tastiest food in the neighborhood! The Chef's Menu is no joke, delicious and plentiful - that shrimp dish in particular is fantastic!

    Best Friend: She's a Vegas 6 and an LA 4... just like me. :)…read moreLet me start by saying this is a five-star review in the context of the Las Vegas Strip. Would I give it five stars back home? Definitely not. But compared to the other dining options on the Strip, this is one of the places I'll happily spend my money. Vibes: A+ I love the fake convenience store entrance that opens into the clubby dining room. It has that over-the-top Vegas maximalist energy and reminded me of Omega Mart. It's playful, immersive, and exactly the kind of experience that works here. Service: A+ Our server was hilarious, genuinely engaging, and steered us toward some excellent choices. The standout recommendation was the aguachile, which ended up being the sleeper hit of the meal. Food: B+ We ordered the kalbi BBQ, the aquachile, the street corn, and the kimchi fried rice. The kimchi fried rice especially deserves a shout out. It topped versions I've had at more traditional Korean restaurants, which I wasn't expecting. Value: C This isn't really the restaurant's fault. It's Vegas. Everything on the Strip comes with a premium. Even so, we ordered all of the above for just over $100, which is honestly difficult to do at many Strip restaurants these days. I'm a fan of Roy Choi and what he's built. Before becoming a nationally recognized chef, he worked his way up through hotel kitchens and later helped spark the gourmet food truck movement with Kogi BBQ. He's also been a longtime advocate for making great food more accessible and has supported community initiatives focused on feeding underserved neighborhoods. At the end of the day, Best Friend is fun, unpretentious (again, for Vegas), and delivers one of the better values you'll find on the Strip. If I'm eating on Las Vegas Boulevard, this is one of the few places I'd happily return to.

    James took care of us at dinner on a Friday night. He was awesome and explained the menu very well…read more He made some really good recommendations and I'm glad we listened. We were here specifically for Restaurant Week and I have to say, good a really good deal considering the prices of some of the items we got. The Wagyu tartare alone was $52 already, and we spent $90 on a 3-course meal for RW. We had crispy rice tuna, Wagyu tartare, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, cinnamon roll, and the smores cake. To drink, I had an old fashioned with a Japanese whisky. It was nice and oaky. The wife had the she so spicy which was excellent (I had a sip). Everything we ate was divine; the only thing we were a little disappointed in was the consistency of the crispy rice. We wished it would have been a bit more sushi rice consistency on the inside, but it was a bit too soggy. Everything else was amazing though, especially the sea bass. The restaurant itself is so pretty, and we happened to get seated in the instagrammable area with the greenery. We are locals, so don't really care much for a strip view, but the restaurant does have a nice one. Would we come back here and pay à la carte next time? Probably not, but only because we try to avoid the strip like the plague.

    Gorgeous Restaurant, Excellent Staff, and Delicious Asian Food sums up a perfect night at Kyu!!!!…read more This was our first time eating here, and all our expectations were met. It's the perfect place to wine and dine, or enjoy a fun night with your close friends. We order the Korean Fried Chicken, Roasted Duck, and Thai Coconut Cream Spinach for dinner. Each dish was savory and delicious. Definitely, a must try if you're looking for delicious Asian cuisine on the north end of the strip.

    We love this restaurant! It's our favorite place to get fried rice! Our favorites are the brisket…read morefried rice and the lobster fried rice we also always get the Short rib dumplings (pan fried) to start, they are so delicious and I love the sauce they put on. It's not close to the side of town we're on which is far north west, Skye Canyon,, but we feel it's worth it! The waitstaff is always very attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to the menu. We actually come here often enough that we are very familiar with the menu and we always know exactly what we want to eat and drink! Sorry this review is so late but every time we go to Fremont Street we eat, have drinks and then we have a good time so I get sidetracked and forget to finish reviewing lol Overall, this is a really great restaurant. It's kind of small, but we've never really have to wait very long to be seated. The best part about it is, it's in Circa which doesn't allow anyone under 21 in the casino so we don't have to worry about those kind of large parties! (Just my personal opinion)

    Very good restaurant if you're craving Asian food. I came over here massively hungover and this was…read moreexactly what I needed. Great decor, ambience and staff. Very attentive and friendly. We got the brisky dumplings, pan seared. I Was expecting the small din tai fung sized ones with little filling, but these were FAT dumplings, with good amounts of brisket inside. WE got the brisket fried rice - also very good, and the garlic noodles. I really liked the char that the noodles and rice had. Only thing for me is that the fried rice and noodles seemed to have a little too big much oil in it. I don't think that's an indictment on 8 east itself, but more of a general Chinese/Taiwanese cooking method. But other than that, I would certainly come back again.
