TARU was recommended to us as one of the best sushi restaurants in Las Vegas, and after eating there, my wife and I would absolutely agree! 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! read more

Food was good, service was honestly pretty great. But the prices are just really high for what it is. The biggest surprise was the seafood ramen dish. That came out way better than I was expecting. I would happily go back and have the ramen. But if you're in Vegas to be "in Vegas" then I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. The main reason we went here was because we had a large group and there was no wait for dinner. They took great care of our group and didn't miss a beat. Tiny issues with our order but nothing crazy considering our numbers. So if you have a large group and don't want to wait, give them a call. read more

Hands down one on the best sushi's I have ever had. Super fresh and flavorful. I took one picture of their ceviche and then forgot the others as I got so drowned in the flavors :) EJ our server was awesome. We had the ceviche, salmon, yellow tail, and scallop sashimi, the Branzino, the geisha (highly recommend for the flavor), the hidden dragon and rainbow roll. Too good!! Wish I lived local, would be here often. read more

Back in Vegas and my eating spree is officially back in effect. First stop on the list was TARU Sushi. One of my besties actually found this amazing spot and I was so excited because we definitely have the same taste when it comes to food. The restaurant itself is spacious, modern, and the service was super friendly. Now let's talk about the food... OMG, we ordered SO much and every single bite tasted incredibly fresh Favorites? The Suzuki, salmon belly, creamy uni pasta that was rich but not heavy at all, mussels, cucumber salad, uni, and the seared salmon with tobiko. Every dish just kept getting better and better. Safe to say... I LOVE this restaurant and already want to go back for more. Definitely coming here again read more

Great sushi, and deep fried shrimp tempura. The fish and vegetables were fresh. Nothing frozen! The Ambiance was family friendly at 5:30pm on a Friday, but has the wine and alcohol stock to get lively with later crowds. Our server was also an owner, and welcomed my family and I as locals to come often. A great addition if you are looking for a solid Japanese food offer! read more

Sushi was incredible. The Chu Toro Roll is to die for. The service and ambiance is so good.. John our server, was awesome. Great recommendations, knowledgeable, very personable. Definitely will be back!! read more

Excellent food, excellent service and I am a sushi snob. Super cute restaurant in Chinatown, easy to find in a plaza. -seafood ramen- huge bowl and not salty. Tons of seafood -trio sashimi- tuna, yellow, and tuna was very fresh -cucumber octopus salad- with vinegar and very refreshing Great prices. Service- 10/10 by John. Great job and perfect server. I will def be back! read more

We are back again and I'm sure John won't remember us. We car late at night after concerts few months back and had wonderful service by John and excellent sashimi. This time we are back since we fed the kids and wife craving for a great sushi. Ordered Shaginiyan platter and uni pasta to share including oyster. All was marvelous and tasty. This place can get busy and super busy but the 2 host/server maintain all spectacularly. I do feel bad for them running around and even though we waited the good side we get sake for free that keep flowing while we wait so no harm done. They know how to take care their customers. Give this a try and you will be amazed how great their food is. This place screams great first date ambiance. It's so romantics with plenty of drinks to choose from and of course John is the master mixer. read more

We decided to visit Taru on a whim on a random Thursday night. We were seated immediately upon arrival and were greeted by a very nice server whose name I now no longer recall. I am so sorry. I ordered an old fashioned which took a little bit longer to come out. As a result of that, the server made it super special and turned it into a smoked old fashioned. What a nice touch/service recovery. Everything we had here was divine as shown on the pictures. The sushi was fresh and the oysters, albeit being tiny, packed so much flavor. The Uni pasta was interesting, but in a good way. I would say the price point is truly warranted because of the quality of the fish and other dishes, as well as the exemplary service that is provided during the meal. The server even asked for our names and shook our hands as we were about to leave. I hope that Taru stays in business for a long, long time. We will be back to support, no doubt. read more

We checked out Taru for the first time last weekend. The ambience is great for date night vibes. The staff is warm, attentive, ajd knowledgeable. We opted for the spicy margarita, half dozen raw oysters, pork belly, chicken thigh, and short rib skewers, mussels and clams, and an assortment of nigeri. The oysters and nigeri were some of the best I've had in Vegas so far. A great sushi spot when you want to dine off the strip! read more

We came before the BSB concert on Sunday at like 530 surprisingly it wasn't more full here. We got seated right away and ordered hot tea. They have a really extensive menu and we had settled on a few things to order. We got the truffle salmon sashimi, chu toro roll, winter flower roll, creamy salmon, koki wrap, soft shell crab roll. The highlights were the truffle salmons sashimi, chu toro roll and the koki wrap. All the rolls didn't have too much rice which was excellent but some of them weren't that many pieces. We weren't super hungry but some didn't get to try some rolls. Total for 5 w/tax & tip:$280 read more

Tried Taru and it was really good! Very fresh, tasty and clean food. The 10 piece nigiri, Ala carte sushi ( 2 piece min) were all delicious! Joon, thank you for nice service. Only complaint was miso soup came out lukewarm- should be very hot. We will be back again for sure! read more

This was our first time checking out the Chinatown area outside Las Vegas and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here! We were craving sushi and found this place through searching the area. The 5 star reviews didn't lie. We were greeted and sat promptly. We wanted to sit at the counter to watch the sushi chefs. The fish is super fresh. We started with the salmon belly nigiri and cucumber salad. The hidden dragon roll was amazing! We also tried the over the rainbow roll also good. Everyone was super nice and accommodating, always checking if we needed anything or refilling our waters quickly. Thank you for a great experience we will remember this place next time we visit the area! read more

Located off the strip but worth a short drive. Probably some of the best sushi I've tried. Very fresh fish. Highly recommend smoked sashimi appetizer. 5/5. We tried a few different rolls, sashimi salad, miso soup and finished the dinner with green tea tempura ice cream. All very good. Restaurant itself is a beautiful venue with contemporary interior design, open concept kitchen and lovely lighting fixtures. Service was great, helpful and genuine. We will be back when visiting Vegas. Many thanks for the yummy dinner and hospitality! read more

Another good sushi place in Vegas. Chinatown that is not all you can eat. They have great selection of sushi and sashimi - good quality of fish. They also had some Japanese pasta dish - the uni pasta is pretty good. They have good cocktails and Japanese beer selection. Server is great and helpful. Place is big and not crowded. Ample of parking sharing the Macys lot. read more

Recently went here for a late night bite, I had been previously but it had been awhile. Taru is a higher quality Japanese restaurant that specializes in sushi but also has great kitchen items. It's definitely a step above all you can eat as far as quality. I would say the best sushi spot in Chinatown that is not a Omakase or Kaiseki. When I went, it was getting into the late night, which I believe they're open pretty late until like 1 PM or something. They had a late night menu with some good dishes and good value, also specials on drinks. I remember getting a crudo dish and some small plates to share and everything was delicious. Ambience here is really nice. The decor is really elevated. The restaurant is really beautiful. Also, the service is really good. They have really great roles that you won't find anywhere else and I believe they make all the sauces in house. read more

It's not every day you stumble upon a brand-new sushi spot that instantly earns a place on your favorites list--but that's exactly what happened when I visited this somewhat newly opened sushi restaurant on Spring Mountain Road. Nestled among the vibrant mix of Asian eateries in the area, this place is already setting itself apart with super fresh ingredients, artful presentation, and a team that clearly knows (and loves) what they're doing. Let's start with the ambiance. The interior is modern, minimalist, and warm, with subtle wood accents and soft lighting that creates a calming, Zen-like vibe without feeling too formal or cold. You immediately get the sense that this is a space where both quality and experience matter. Whether you're out for a relaxed dinner with friends or a quiet sushi date, the setting strikes a perfect balance between casual comfort and upscale presentation. There's bar seating if you want to watch the sushi chefs in action, and it's worth it--the precision and care they take with each roll is truly mesmerizing. But the regular tables are just as comfortable and give you a great view of the beautiful plating that comes to your table. Now, onto the star of the show: the sushi. Every piece of fish we had was unbelievably fresh--clean, buttery, and rich in flavor without a hint of fishiness. You can taste the difference immediately. We started with a simple yet elegant sashimi platter, and each slice (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallop) was immaculate in cut, temperature, and texture. The tuna practically melted in my mouth, and the scallop was sweet and delicately briny in all the right ways. From there, we tried a few signature rolls, and they blew us away. One featured spicy tuna topped with seared salmon and a tangy yuzu drizzle--it was a flavor bomb in the best way. Another standout was their house special with unagi, avocado, and tempura flakes, delivering the perfect balance of creamy, crispy, and smoky. Even the rice--which is so often overlooked--was perfectly seasoned and just the right temperature. That attention to detail really speaks to the restaurant's commitment to quality. We also tried a miso soup and a small plate of shishito peppers while waiting, and both were great touches that made the experience feel even more complete. We highly recommend this sushi restaurant to sushi lovers ! read more

Taro is one of our go to sushi restaurant in LAs Vegas. Our favorite dishes there are the Chu Toro roll, hamachi Kama, and all the nigiri sushi. The sushi is of high quality and presented beautifully. The menu is diverse. The service is always attentive and welcoming. The ambiance is Japanese modern and comfortable. You won't be disappointed. read more

Not much stood out in our dinner. The unagi nigiri and yellowtail sashimi were the best items but not good enough to draw me back in, which would make it consistent with a 2 star rating on my chart. 4 stars Unagi Yellowtail 3 stars Salmon belly Hokkaido scallop sashimi Dynamite Blue crab roll 2 stars Chutoro roll Soft shell crab roll Crunchy roll Uni pasta - this was bland and rather disappointing read more

Super clean sushi spot with great vibes! The decor is beautiful -- modern, relaxing, and really well done. The sushi is incredibly fresh and delicious, honestly reminds me of omakase quality but way more affordable. The service was amazing -- everyone was so friendly and attentive. And I have to mention their uni spaghetti -- absolutely incredible! Creamy, rich, and full of flavor. Definitely one of my new favorite sushi places -- can't wait to come back! read more

Had the best luck in finding this gem of a sushi restaurant! It's off strip @ 1+ miles on Spring Mountain Road in Chinatown. Worth an Uber ride. We made reservations on a Friday night for 6:30pm--there were a couple of tables w/patrons. By 7:30pm they were near full. Plenty of tables W/sushi bar, great alcohol menu, and lots of parking. The sushi was fresh with a beautiful display and multiple offerings, including classic and designer rolls. The service was excellent w/various staff checking on us to ensure we didn't need anything. The ambience has a cool vibe with hip background music and low lights. If you are craving sushi, consider TARU. It's delicious, fresh and not overpriced like all restaurants on the strip--especially sushi cuisine. read more

TARU is definitely at top of ALL the Japanese restaurants we have ever been to! The restaurant is typical Japanese Style, minimalist and spotless! Went here per recommendation from a friend's friend who is local. (Who we met at TARU). Told us this the BEST Japanese restaurant! Service here is unparalleled! We were fortunate to have the owner navigate us throughout our dining experience! I don't claim to be a connoisseur but from the very first course to the very last, EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! You can tell everything was FRESH! The sake recommended was superb! SERVICE was EXCELLENT! Thank you so much for one of best and most memorable dinners we had in Vegas!!! read more

Finally got around to trying this place and I am so thankful I did. This will definitely be my go to Sushi restaurant going forward. I came in Sunday evening and we were seated immediately. There were about three other tables at the restaurant so it was pretty empty. This is Located in a shopping center so parking is pretty easy to find. I ordered some sushi pieces and a few rolls and ended up paying about $100. I think this is pretty standard for the quality sushi that I received. All three rolls were exceptional, but my favorite was the one wrapped in soy paper, it was such a fresh roll. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and there was no fishy taste to it. Service was amazing and I had a pretty good conversation with the waiter there. This place is open pretty late so you'll be able to grab a late dinner and the ambience is incredible - perfect for a date night. My review is as follows: - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 - Ambiance 5/5 read more

My word for this place is Wow! When you first walk in, it's a really nice ambience. The place was pretty packed so best to make a reservation. We didn't wait very long till we got seated. But the food was top notch stellar, from the presentation to the taste. It was a bit of a wait for our order but worth the wait. Our server Jonny was very attentive and made sure we were ok. Everything we ordered was amazing. Their top seller Chu Toro is definitely a must try. The cucumber salad, the crispy brussel sprouts were also very good. And the empire of the sun was delicious! Plenty of parking in the lot. There are plenty other restaurants in the same area which I've also tried but this place is my favorite sushi spot now. read more

Came last year when they just opened, but I believe they had an old location before. Delicious sushi, very fresh. Dont remember the names but got a chu toro and salmon roll. Regular portions size I couldve ate both rolls myself easily. Attentive staff. More on pricey side but still cheaper than sushi places on strip. Recommend if youre a tourist and dont mind coming to Chinatown. read more

Food here was amazing!! Was visiting LV from Vegas and. Decided to go off-strip for some sushi and we were glad we chose TARU!

Delish Sushi/Sashimi and great service. Saki and beer hit the spot. Ambiance is intimate

Awesome sushi selection and coming from Hawaii we have a certain quality of expectation when it comes to seafood. This spot definitely is a top tier choice to kill the islander craving. The service was also great and quick. The atmosphere is like a comfortable bar style with a luxury display of food. Highly recommended. read more

3 stars for food, 5 stars for service and ambiance. Stays open late. Halibut nigiri and ikura. Fish tasted super clean and not fishy. Good flavor sushi rice. Paparazzi roll- this one was so disappointing. I asked to add spicy tuna and crispy onions. The spicy tuna had no seasoning and the onions were rubbery/oily. Rice wasn't seasoned. We only ordered a few items to see if it was good, but stopped after that and it came out to $60. read more

It was our first visit to this restaurant. We don't know about their food, we started order 20 pcs of Chef Combo Sashimi. The server explained us, Chef choice sashimi plate, it will have 2 pcs of fish. But what we got 4 kinds of 4 pcs of Sashimi & 2 kids of 2 pcs Sashimi. Even Yellowtail was very fishy taste. It was definitely overpriced. Do you think, It is $95 value, really? I'm not respecting this dish at $95. If I have assorted sashimi plate with different kinds of fishes, and better quality, I may write about good review. But I can't believe what I got. If I have better food tonight, I would love to order more dishes, but I didn't. I just pay it and leave the restaurant and go to another restaurant to finish my dinner. To be honest with you, plating itself looks okay. But taste and quality is not good as nice plating. So sad. read more
