Brian Q.

Came here with some coworkers during a work trip and food was awesome. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and felt intimate and quiet for a casino restaurant. No wait at the time we went. The drinks were awesome and they had very good tequila and mezcal options. The chips and guacamole were tasty and not oily and felt fresh made. Salsa was r too spicy. I ordered the shirt rib which was perfect cooked and so tender I didn't even need a knife to cut it. All in all great option for dinner if staying at Wynn.

Salt & Pepper Prawns and carpaccio
Firas S.

Great food and ambience. Nicely designed/themed restaurant overlooking the casino, there is always a line but hardly a wait. We arrived without an appointment and looking for some small bites, we were seated within a few minutes. The service and good were excellent. We ordered some sashimi, a spicy tuna roll, and the giant prawns. All of the dishes were 5/5.

Miso Soup
Courtney T.

Friendly service! The Miso soup had a heavy portion of mushrooms but otherwise had great flavor. The dumplings were soft/crispy on the right places, very enjoyable. The lo mein was my favorite dish. Our entrees ended up coming before the sushi rolls, so we cancelled them but it worked out! It was two of us & the portions were large we didn't finish either entree. Overall good experience & would return. Obviously really convenient & easy if you're staying at one of the connected properties.

Dined with the wife on a Saturday night; they (somewhat famously) don't take reservations so we checked in at the hostess stand at about 6:30 and were told the wait was 30-45 minutes. Pretty standard on the weekend. They text you when your table is ready so you don't have to hang around the restaurant. The most important thing to keep in mind about Wazuzu is that it's listed on the Wynn website under their "Casual Dining" designation. If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine there I recommend Wing Lei or Mizumi (both are outstanding). Some of the lower reviews on Yelp seem to be missing that aspect. Once we received the text for our table we were greeted by a friendly hostess who sat us at a table right under the beautiful crystal dragon art piece. The tables are well-spaced for a relatively small restaurant and it's definitely a boisterous and bright environment. Our server Marvin was very attentive - water glasses were refilled constantly and place settings were replaced after each course. We started with the chicken spring rolls and the crispy Brussels sprouts. We really loved the sprouts - they were crispy as advertised and well seasoned. The spring rolls were good - they're served in a lettuce cup which makes for a refreshing contrast between the fried wrapper and the fresh veggies. I also ordered the uni sushi (I'm an uni fanatic) and it was super fresh and tasty. For entrees we shared the drunken noodles, the bibimbap and the sea bass. My wife always loves the drunken noodles here and these were very flavorful. Again this is an Asian- fusion restaurant (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese etc. are all represented on the menu) so we know going in not to compare the noodles to Lotus of Siam's version. We also really enjoyed the bibimbap - the crispy rice layer on the bottom adds great texture to the spicy flavors. The sea bass was good except about 75% of it was slightly overcooked. This is such a delicate fish that it's easy to go from perfect texture to dry in a matter of seconds and unfortunately that happened here. Really my only complaint about the meal. Dinner for two came to $232 before tax and tip which included a carafe of sake and a to-go order of Pad Thai for our kid at home. For the quality of service and ingredients we were more than satisfied when we left and even had some yummy leftovers to bring home.

I really enjoyed my experience at Wazuzu. Their Drunken Noodles with beef were a standout-- the noodles tasted freshly made, with a perfect chew, and the beef was exceptionally tender. You can truly taste the quality of the beef, which adds depth and richness to the dish's overall flavor. The appetizers were just as impressive. The Peking Duck Bao Bun was flavorful and well-balanced, making it a must-try. I also highly recommend the Panang Curry served with rice--it's rich, aromatic, and an excellent choice if you enjoy bold, comforting flavors. Overall, Wazuzu delivers high-quality food with great execution. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal. Other recommendations do not go on holiday, the waitlist can be really long since the restaurant does not take reservations.

Tuna Handroll- delicious
Shehla M.

Amazing ambiance in the heart of Encore. Beautiful decor, good service. We did t have reservations but were seated within 30 mins on a busy Sunday, so no complaints. The Mongolian Beef was DIVINE! Pair it was a side or two of jasmine rice and boom a meal for two or three is set. We also had the Drunken Noodles and they were anything but that. Dry and burnt tasting. We still ate it because we were hungry but not good at all. Also, the noodles are not traditional Ke Mao Noodles. These were something else. A hard pass for next time.. However, we will definitely be back for that Mongolian Beef! You should too! Cheers to good times Yelpers xx

On a recent visit to Vegas we stayed at Encore and needed a good lunch option on our last day before a late check-out and heading to the airport. We had already had our fill of steak and Italian on the trip, so Cantonese sounded perfect, and Wazuzu delivered. One big plus: Wazuzu is walk-up only, so you do not need reservations. We arrived a few minutes before the 11:30 a.m. opening and got the first table. Within 30 minutes the place was completely full, which tells you a lot. Our waiter was awesome, super friendly, and happy to walk us through the menu. We followed his recommendations and ordered the pork and shrimp pot stickers and the drunken noodles with shrimp. Both were outstanding and easily our favorites of the meal. We also tried the sea bass, which was a very close second and definitely worth ordering. The setting is great, right off the Encore casino, and all of the food tasted fresh and was very well prepared. I highly recommend Wazuzu if you are looking for a casual lunch or easy dining option at Encore or Wynn.

Easy one of THE BEST restaurants in the entire Las Vegas strip! It's no wonder this spot has been open and still exists despite its long tenure at the Encore hotel! The drunken noodles are a delicious favorite you have to order as well as the toro hand rolls! Service is fantastic and responsive and the ambiance is always happening! You can thank me later...

Ate here with my coworkers while we were in Vegas for Shot Show 2026. Overall the service was the shining star of the evening. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu making several great recommendations. We tried a number of sushi and sashimi dishes and all we were well composed and flavorful. In reality though, most of the dishes were a bit one note with heat being the predominant flavor profile for the majority of what we tried causing the proteins to get lost in the mix. In typical Vegas fashion these days, it's also a bit on the pricey side with most 8 pc rolls coming in well above $25-$30 each. The great news is that we did not leave feeling stuffed! I would definitely go back again but would rather try something a little different if sushi is the primary focus for the night.

Jackie T.

Our server, Tara was amazing! The food here is always phenomenal, but the service is over the top! Even the manager, John comes by and checks on everything... he doesn't just talk about the food, he actually engages you as a human being. You're not just another number. They definitely go out of their way to make every experience memorable, even if you're just coming for a quick lunch. No reservations in this place! It gets busy early and for good reason. Outstanding service and incredibly delicious food. There is really no presence of a casino directly outside of the restaurant. It's almost as if you're being transported somewhere private. Definitely will recommend the Toro tacos!

Yellow tail Himachi - very tasty
Lizelle P.

Wazuzu has beautiful decor. The glass dragon alone is worth seeing! They don't take reservations, so you have to put your name down and wait. No strollers, no luggage, no pool attire. The rock shrimp and black cod are standouts, though the menu leans more Western-style than traditional Asian and is over priced. Overall, great flavors in a gorgeous setting. Staff are friendly and great service. I found the lady hostess at check in to be rude and not welcoming and was an absolute turn off for our experience. Considering we came here 3 days in a row, we were disappointed by her attitude.

Duck
Tari O.

Lunch at Wazuzu was delicious. Located in the Encore, this Asian fusion restaurant has something for every dietary preference. The duck bao buns, sushi, Brussels, edamame, and more. Food comes out as it's ready. Good location for professional team meal.

mochi ice cream
Elissa L.

Great time at Wazuzu. The energy of our server was unrivaled. He knew how to have a good time! Must orders: Lucky cat mojito, Tom yum soup, drunken noodles!

Can I make a reservation for 6 person lunch on 11 Jane at 1:00pm? Thanks?

Think they open at 11:30am. We went for midweek lunch for 2 without any reservations, got seated quickly and saw plenty of tables available.

Is this more of a lunch establishment or a dinner establishment?

I would say either. Food is awesome as well as the service. I think they can make a reservation?… Read more

I have never been to a sushi location that the service is this spectacular. Table always cleared away of empty dishes and the speed of how fast the food comes out is INSANE. Waiter comes to your table right away and ask for your order almost immediately after seating. The food and service is fast but you do not feel rushed to eat as fast as you can and leave. You don't get the feeling of them trying to rush you out. The ambiance of this place is on another level. I feel like I am at a club. So if you want a nice and quiet dinner this is not the place for you. But if you want to come with friends and have a good time then this place is a must try! Our waiter was Francisco and he is a freaking rockstar. Always on top of it making us feel welcome and comfortable. Explaining the entire menu and keeping everything on point. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE!

Not sure why this place is rated so high…read more I'd probably give this place around 3 stars overall. The food honestly wasn't that great compared to other spots in the area. It wasn't terrible by any means, but nothing really stood out and there are definitely better places if you're specifically craving Japanese food. What really bothered me though was the pricing situation. We came during their lunch AYCE hours, but because there was a festival going on that weekend, they decided to charge full dinner price instead. So I am docking off another point for the owners being greedy. Service itself was okay, just not enough to justify the higher price they charged us.

Shigotonin is a delightful discovery off the Vegas strip (but may as well be on the strip…read moreconsidering the taste and quality of food here) in a small plaza. 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!

You don't need to go to the Strip for Ari yeah!…read more Ari Sushi & Izakaya is a very well-Yelped restaurant in the southwest. I've particularly seen buddies post about it on Instagram a lot, and I finally made my way out there since I found that it aligned with my mom's food craving. I went for the Ari Ari Combo ($29.00). It started with a little bowl of balanced miso soup and a tiny side salad with fresh greens and a simple sesame dressing, and was followed by six thin but delicious sashimi slices and four basic but also solid-quality nigiri. I would be more than happy to come back try to more of their raw fish any time. If that doesn't sound like enough for lunch, I did share other food items. The Garlic Edamame ($7.00) felt a little less salted than I expected but was a good portion and had plenty of both a garlic sauce and crispy garlic slivers. I also helped out with a Bento with 3 items ($25.00): bulgogi, mixed tempura, and spicy tuna roll. The bulgogi was tender but not strongly marinated enough and the spicy tuna roll felt pretty standard, but I did really enjoy the shrimp tempura and the veggie tempura pieces which I tried. They were super hot and crispy while being cooked perfectly inside, and the sauce was perfect. The music was relaxing and not played at a very high volume. The restaurant is a little more dim than I'd like and could benefit from overhead narrow-angle lights, but maybe the food was just that good that the lighting wasn't so important. The server was happy to refill my complimentary water with lemon as often as needed, as well as to add more water to the Hot Green Tea ($4.00). I did try some of the tea, and it was potent and low in bitterness. I'm pleased to report that Ari Sushi really does offer delicious sushi, enough so that I'll probably have to make more trips from Henderson to try more of their menu. If you want high quality mid-price-range sushi that's not in an all you can eat format, this is a great place to look.

Adding cream cheese was an additional $3. Overall experience was okay, the service was great! The quality was okay, I wouldn't mind trying the place out again but ordering other things off the menu.

Walked in at about 8pm on a Monday and were seated right away. There are 3 different courses, but we decided to go with Course A ($38.99). Service was okay. Servers did their job but could have been more friendly (idk I've been to other AYCE Sushi places where the servers were friendlier than the ones here). Menu feels limited but still a good amount of choices. Ordered a bunch of nigiri's: salmon, garlic salmon, salmon belly, escolar. These are my basic go-to options. Fish to rice ratio was perfect...barely any rice but fine with me! I love the garlic cheese corn that I ordered. It came to our table sizzling and was delicious. Overall, I would come back here and it's worth the try. Menu is limited but still good. Cherry Blossom Tree decor inside was beautiful too.
