Las Vegas locals hate the Strip, but not this restaurant. My good buddy from Summerlin made the trip to meet here -- it's that good. Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Lounge at the Bellagio is in a league of its own. The ribeye is mouth‑watering and perfectly prepared -- chef's kiss. Add the Bellagio fountains, and you're talking a memorable Vegas dining experience. Five stars. No hesitation. Award‑winning cuisine. read more

Best restaurant in Vegas!!! Been going for over 15 years, food, service and ambiance are all great. It's best to go with others since so you can share all of the wonderful options on the menu. read more

All of it, the food was just perfect and the service was great, the restaurant with a view to the fountains it was amazing

My bf and I came here and had such a memorable experience. We had a reservation for around 8:30pm and although there was a little bit of a wait, it honestly wasn't an issue for us. We had requested a window seat, and the host was super friendly and let us know there would be a wait. It ended up being completely worth it because we were seated outside on a private balcony. Just the two of us at a single table with a perfect view of the Bellagio fountains. Such a special moment. Our server was also amazing. Very informative about the menu and honestly great at suggestive selling lol. We ended up trying everything he recommended, and there were zero regrets. Every dish was so good. The menu is more shareable, appetizer-style plates, which made it even more fun for a date night. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a cute, intimate dinner with great food and a beautiful view. read more

The view is great. We paid the minimum $125 per person food and beverage spend for a patio table, and while the view was definitely worth it, we didn't love the meal and wouldn't hurry to go back. We had the rock shrimp, which was pretty standard; the gyoza, which was good but served with a tomato-based sauce that didn't belong on the plate; a simple California roll; the surf and turf - steak was overcooked and the wasabi butter was not working with the lobster... sauces here are not a strength. We also ordered a side of potato puree, which was pretty good. But when aren't they? Our dining experience was not made better by the many diners from inside the restaurant coming out to do photo shoots almost constantly. Some parents just let their children come on the patio and hang out I guess so they could have some "mommy/daddy time". I wouldn't have paid for the patio if I knew the view came with babysitting duty. If you love Japanese food you may find this worth it, but this felt like the kind of meal you can get anywhere - just next to a lake so here it's a lot more expensive. , read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant and with the prices they charge I had high expectations as well. The yellowtail serrano was great, tender thinly sliced fish with a bit of spice from the pepper. Paired with the cucumber salad was a nice combo of spicy/tender with sour/crunch from the salad. I was a bit disappointed by the Crispy Kalbi roll, even with the slaw on top there wasn't much a textural element, no crunch as I had expected by the name. Clear soup was pretty standard fare, something you can get anywhere. Our service was good, very formal and stiff, but he made sure everything came out correctly. Ambiance matches the pricing, quite upscale. Located in the Bellagio, you can catch a glimpse of the water show from the dining room which is neat. Overall an okay experience, though one I feel was not worth the price tag. I was expecting to be blown away and only felt a breeze. read more

Our meal was the Mile High withTempura Crab, Avocado, Asparagus, Topped with Mixed Sashimi, Spicy Ponzu Aioli, omg, everything was superb! And don't get me started with the service which was top notch! Our water was never empty and our places were removed swiftly.

I wasn't looking forward to this restaurant that my friend picked but I'm so happy she picked it and I went! First of all, the service was above and beyond, (thank you Theo) and you have a great view of the fountains out by the patio, and the food was so delicious! I had the Braised Wagyu Beef Short ribs with such amazing sauce, a lychee martini that was so good I ordered two, and the dessert was so amazing I forgot what it was called but it was like a bananas foster sauce with apple pie sort of thing! So good! My friend loved her yellowtail roll and her Mile High roll. We ordered the Kimchi Brussel Sprouts as well and they were just ok. I'd skip those...food was really good I can't wait to be back next time I'm in town for a trade show! I went back and had the filet mignon. It was delicious! read more

A beautiful dinner spot. Yellowtail is located inside the Bellagio and is stunning. It is one of those places that feels upscale while still feeling very intimate. I had a bit of an unconventional (but still nice) experience at Yellowtail. My friends and I had a reservation for a Saturday evening. Like many of the restaurants on the Strip, there is a missed reservation fee of $25 per person. It was just my luck that we were running late. When we realized we would not make it in time, we tried giving them a call a few times but received no answer. We ended up being just over 30 minutes late, hoping that there was a chance we would still have a table. To our surprise, we were still kindly offered a table. The host said that the original table we booked in the dining room was no longer available but that we could be seated in the lounge (the front of the restaurant that faces the casino). We were grateful to even be given a spot so we accepted the offer and took a seat. This spot is dark, moody, and very ambient. It definitely feels classy. Sitting facing the casino felt a bit awkward and like we were in all the action. We directly faced one of the main walking paths to the other restaurants. In a way, it's nice to have some people watching, but of course, a view of the Bellagio fountains would have been to die for. The table setup was super cute. The napkins and chopsticks were adorable yet classy. First, we ordered the Lychee Martinis. They were super good. The flavor was not too overpowering. It was perfectly sweet and had a flower perfect for some photos. By the time the drinks were brought out, we realized we would not have time to order a full meal. It was very busy and the wait for just the drinks was quite long. We sipped our drinks for a while before one of the waitresses stopped by and said that, in order to sit in the lounge, we would need to order food. So, we ordered the Salmon Tiradito appetizer. The portion was quite small (and of course pricey) for three people. It was very light and refreshingly. I personally was not a huge fan of the flavor but I could tell that it was very high quality. I hope. with some better planning on my end, that I could revisit Yellowtail and try more of the menu! read more

This place was really nice. The service was ok. The pictures that I am sharing is of a salad. However it has too much vinegar where it wasn't edible. They did not comp the salad which was disappointing because I maybe took two bites of it and pushed it off to the side. It was definitely an overpriced salad. It just was really beautiful to look at basically. Everything else that I ate was delicious. Even the miso soup. read more

Third time here and still really enjoyed it. Brought some out of town coworkers as they were wanting sushi. Reservation is recommended. As we were walking from the hostess to our table in the back area, my coworker was loving the ambience. As we were approaching our table, you can see the Bellagio fountain. What an amazing view. The service was OK, the food made up for it. All our sashimi orders were perfection. The sauce is the sashimi the taste perfect. I still say it beats the sushi restaurant in Caesar's Palace, price, and food quality. I will be back. read more

Since we had time to kill for a show, we chose Yellowtail since it's the perfect place to pregame inside our hotel. The beautiful staff goes hand and hand with the vibes here, from the hip and clean decor, to the romantic overlooking sights of the Bellagio fountains all in one spot. We ordered a bottle of Rosè to have with a couple of Savory Edamame, Big Eye Tuna Pizzas, the Mile High, and Ugagi Rolls. Each dish was special in its own way, and paired really well with the drinks. After all these years, Yellowtail still delivers on every aspect. read more

This place is FANTASTIC! so much so that I went twice while in Vegas for work. The staff was friendly and very accommodating! They had a dedicated gluten free menu which was nice. The one problem here is that I ordered a roll on both visits and they were made differently so I do suspect that one of them was prepared normally not GF which is unfortunate and thankfully I don't have severe allergies. However the staff was very accommodating and great with suggestions. Now onto the food. I ordered: - miso - salmon sashimi - ebi sushi - a specialty roll from the GF menu - Atlantic black cod Miso was skippable honestly nothing special and I wouldn't get it again. The sushi was so fresh and delicious with the exception of the GF consistency I mentioned before. The STAR of the meals was the Atlantic black cod. IT WAS DELICIOUS!! so good that this is the dish that brought me back a second time. The miso flavoring was so well done!! If you come here I highly recommend this dish. The ambiance is great if you are seated by the fountains. If you're out front it's not the best being so close to a casino entrance it kills the vibes a bit. Sitting at the bar is an option but it does get crowded quickly and when I sat there that's when I suspect I had the roll that wasn't correctly prepared because the bartenders are managing so many different tabs and orders. The roll pictured has a glaze that was left off when I was at a table with a very attentive server who had the roll remade when it was originally made with a non GF sauce according to her. I will definitely come back but be sure to get a reservation for the best service and views. read more

Fantastic sushi with surprisingly large portions which was a rarity at its competitors Nobu. If you're lucky enough to get a seat near a window, enjoy the shows at the Bellagio fountains! Service was on point, as well. Downside would be the ambiance. Has an odd Italian restaurant vibe missing the flare of an upscale eatery for sushi but I guess it fits the mold for being at the Bellagio. read more

Great place to eat at the Bellagio! We had a large group and just opted for our server to bring different things out. My surprising star of the show was the fried tofu; it was amazing. Everything he brought out was good, from sushi rolls to gyoza; my apple cream cheese dessert was the perfect way to end read more

Yellowtail used to be good back in the day but this visit just fell flat. Service was great but how dare you serve stale rice with sushi. It was not fresh, nor warm and I basically ate sashimi. The server was nice enough to send a dessert however - old rice is a huge NO. We arrived around 9:00 pm to dine. Even if it was close to closing you should never falter on food - especially at those prices. Huge disappointment & there are way too many options to eat bad, expensive food. If you like watching the Bellagio fountain, you can sit in the back near the patio - they even have tables outside if that's your jam. read more

Amazing sushi restaurant and I highly recommend making a reservation on the patio to watch the bellagio fountains. The most memorable dishes were definitely the tuna pizza and the lobster carpaccio. Definitely worth the price! The server was also very sweet, only thing is they don't give you free dessert for birthday. read more

Food and service were outstanding. Yukon was attentive and filled our orders at a good pace.

This restaurant is in the Bellagio hotel, and it was a little difficult to find. The hostesses are wearing strange skimpy outfits, but inside the place is very upscale and fancy, and the male servers are dressed up. So the hostess did not fit the rest of the vibe of the restaurant. You can pay extra to sit outside and watch the water show. There is a per person minimum. We could still slightly see the water show from our table inside. We really enjoyed the yellowtail Serrano and the cucumber salad. I did feel the prices were a bit steep especially paying $11 for a clear onion soup. The service was prompt, but also a bit stiff. They didn't have much of a personality. I got a bottle of wine and they kept it chilled and put away and they would have to come and refill it. Overall, the food was pretty good however, for the price point we paid I think we could've gotten better/more food elsewhere. read more

We stayed in the Bellagio and found this bar while walking around on our first night. With how beautiful and inviting it looked, we had to stop in for a drink and an appetizer. The shrimp tempura were perfect fully cooked and had a savory sauce with it. We each got a cocktail (I can't remember the names) and they were awesome. Great bartender - he worked quickly and was easy to talk to. read more

I was skeptical about this place as it has a low score compare to the other restaurants in Bellagio, but we don't have much choices because we have a toddler with us and most restaurants do not allow kids under five. That's a bummer. However, to my surprise, the food was delicious and and service was top notch! The ambiance was amazing as we seated near the window so that we can enjoy the fountain show and my son was entertained the whole time. The udon was not on their menu but when I asked the waitress if they have any noodles for kids, she said we have all kind of udon. I wouldn't mind go back again and do recommend it to families with small kids. read more

We reserved to sit outside for the fountainview. I should've ordered a la carte but since everyone else got the omakase I didn't want to miss out on anything so ordered it as well.. I should've stuck with my initial instinct.. all the dishes that came out were mediocre. Even the nigiri sushi was cheap quality something like your local hometown sushi joint.. what they claim as Toro was not toro.. and fried rice? As part of omakase??? The view was amazing but the food was not worth 180 per person. Beware. Do not get the omakase if you know what real omakase should be like read more

We popped in last minute because this is always one of my favorite sushi spots. Happily got a table out front so we were able to enjoy the food and people watch at the same time. The food here is really so good and fresh. The Tuna pizza is my favorite thing on the menu. Drinks are also top notch. We had a wonderful server but her wing man was truly the star. George is a kind and diligent worker who truly takes pride in every aspect of customer service. Watching the way he worked and cared about his job was inspiring. Such a huge impression that we called the manager over to compliment his service and the food as well. Certainly keeping this on my short list for the next trip to Vegas. read more

I have been coming to Yellowtail for over 12 years and have never had anything less than an amazing experience. The food is always delicious & the service is always top tier. Even when they are booked & busy, like they were last night, they always accommodate us as best that they can & service works like a well-oiled machine. We are especially partial to Mifka as our server, she just always shines with her amazing personality and attention to detail. They have an extensive & well-curated drinks menu with a varied sake selection. Our go-tos on the food menu are the tuna pizza (always!), seaweed salad, house pickles, protein roll, Kalbi roll, rock shrimp, salmon tiradito, & the short ribs. But we also like the filet, miso cod, lobster tempura, toro roll & Serrano yellowtail. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu and it's always good to come with a group of other food lovers so you can try a little bit of everything. The lakeside view of the famous Bellagio fountains is the cherry on top to make Yellowtail the perfect spot for taking all of our out-of-town friends & family for a quintessential Vegas dinner experience. read more

Yellowtail never disappoints. Tonight was the best visit yet. Chanez took care of every detail. She kept us laughing and made the whole night feel easy. She connects with people in a way you do not see often. She also recommended the short ribs and they were unreal. Miguel backed her up all night and made sure the table stayed perfect. The food hit a different level. The tuna pizza, tuna tataki, steak tabon, and crab hand rolls were the best versions I have had here. We sat on the patio and watched the fountains. Hard to beat that view. Huge thanks to Misty and the whole team. The energy and atmosphere make this place special. read more

Excellent food, great service!

The restaurant enjoys a prime location on the Strip, with terrace seating that offers a beautiful view of the Bellagio fountains -- but that's really its standout feature. Unfortunately, you're paying more for the ambiance and experience than the food itself. For the same cost $600+, or even less, you can find comparable -- if not better -- flavor and quality over on Spring Mountain Road. The Michelin pedigree, sadly, doesn't come through in the dishes. Well, at least we can say we've tried it once. That's enough. read more
