    Been wanting to try this spot for awhile now. This was where I was hoping to eat at for my birthday. We were in town and so we finally checked it out. We made reservations on the Yelp waitlist and arrived on a Monday evening for dinner recently. 888 Japanese BBQ is located in a shopping center close to Chinatown in Las Vegas. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot surrounding the restaurant. The restaurant is fairly big as there are plenty of rooms with booths and yakiniku tables. An inviting bar with plenty of stools is to the right. The decor is culturally modern with dark walls. As soon as you walk in, the vibe is welcoming and bustling. We chose the B prime AYCE option along with a glass of Chardonnay and a glass of Yamazaki Whisky. There were so many great options to choose from. Everything we ordered was so delicious. Some of the standout favorites we had were the Harami Miso, Prime Bistro Hangar Steak, Prime Fatty Rib, Beef Tongue, and the Miso Pork Belly. All the meats were so juicy, flavorful, and tender with every bite. The Prime fatty rib and Harami Miso just melts in your mouth. The tri sauce tray complemented the meat very well. Our drinks were refreshing. Overall we enjoyed our experience at 888 Japanese BBQ. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. We appreciated the fun and family friendly atmosphere of cooking our own Japanese BBQ. Most of the food was high quality. The price point for all 3 of the premium AYCE options were fairly priced. We hope to be back with other family and friends next time we are in town.

    I'm not gonna lie- I would probably have given a 3.5 stars but my boyfriend said he'd give it 4.5 stars, so splitting the difference and going with 4 stars. Good value, decent quality with a large variety. Service was 5 stars. Delicious sides and something to please everyone. There is a 90 min limit, and by the end of it, we were so full we prob wouldn't have been able to order more if we tried. S'mores were also included in the AYCE and a wonderful way to cap off the meal!

    Really good ayce bbq + sushi options. They have three menus that you can choose from that varies from quality of meat and extra items you get. Our group went with the highest tier, which was $45.95pp. Honestly that is such a great deal for Kobe. Some items were limited to one per person, but it was a good amount. There was so much to the menu that it was so hard to order everything. We went back to our favorites, which were the kobe meats, beef tongue, and the waygu briskets. There were so many sushi rolls and all of them were a hit but they do fill you up quicker. Each order came with 4 pieces. The cocktails are great too. They have a slushi machine with options for your cocktails. My husband got the beer cocktail, which was half beer and half calpico slushi and it was yummy. Service was good. The server would come back multiple times to clear our table and ask if we wanted to order more. Love that you can put your name down on the waitlist and come closer to time. That definitely saves time, but you have to make sure you check it. Some time the wait was 3-4 hours! If you time it correctly, then it'll work out perfectly. Definitely will come back and maybe check out their other locations!

    Found my new fav AYCE place in Vegas! The reviews really don't lie and the crazy wait outside constantly also don't lie. This place has high quality meats, wagyu& Kobe beef galore! On top of that there is also a great selection of premium sushi rolls and sashimi. They have 3 tiers but highest tier comes with all the premium meats, highly recommend! Aside from the amazing quality of meats and food, they are so incredibly efficient and nice here! All servers are amazing - shout out to Mia who was our server and was super nice, helpful & was always catering to our every need!

    Oh how I love this place I've never had a bad experience here. The only thing I could say is sometimes the wait times could be crazy so if you're in the area and you have something else to do stopping there first and put your name on the waitlist lol because sometimes they wait times are like an hour to an hour and a half They have different menus to pick from I've only ever gotten the most expensive I think it's like premium menu which comes with like Wago and some of the carpaccio's poke salad I'm not sure what kind of dressing they put on their poke salad but save the dressing because I like to dip my meat in that dressing and it's delicious !!!' the workers are always friendly. They come around very often. You don't have to wait a long time which is great. Me and my friends love this place we come here at least once a month minimum I highly recommend

    super yummy food with plenty of meat, sushi and Japanese sides. Very affordable imo around $35 pp. took around 1.5 hours from joining the waitlist to get seated on a Saturday afternoon. worth the wait for the amount of food we ate. Really enjoyed their marinated meats such as the harami miso and filet mignon. some meats/cuts are limited to one order per person so I would recommend getting those in the first or second order before you get to full. Service was quick and staff was attentive. you even have the choice of ice cream after!! would definitely come back when in Vegas!

    Starting it off with a few drinks ! Here we have the PINEAPPLE JUICE on the right and STRAWBERRY MOJITO on the left !

    We came back AGAIN because we know the food is good , but unfortunately the service is still not what it once was . lol. What a shame. They forgot to bring our drinks this time. Then our server gave up towards the end and disappeared. Also, we told our server we never received our drinks, and asked to cancel them. But they still ended up on our bill. Might not come back. This is very sad. We come from Los Angeles.

    I continued my birthday in Vegas! I've been wanting to try this spot, so I was glad this was the first spot on our trip. We chose the prime and it was only $33.95 per person! I just like getting the meats, but they also wanted the philly roll, green salad, spicy tuna roll, green roll, lobster roll, albacore crunchy roll, spicy cucumbers, cream cheese wonton, seaweed salad, king oyster mushroom, pineapple, kimchi, cheese fondue, miso soup, rice, pickle set, spring roll, and radish wrap. All of this was included in the price. For meats, we chose the filet mignon, kalbi, ribeye steak, beef belly tare, prime hanger, beef tongue. We were quite full at the end of our meal. Dessert was included! It was fun roasting s'mores on the grill.

    We checked out 888 Japanese BBQ this past Saturday, a spot I discovered while picking up flooring for one of our remodeling projects across the street. The second I saw it, I knew I had to try it. A little tip before you go: make a reservation! We went around 4 PM without one and ended up waiting almost 5 hours. The good news? It was totally worth it. I love that they offer three different AYCE menu options. We chose Menu C, and everything we tried was delicious. Our server was attentive, gave great recommendations, and made the whole experience even better. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful. The udon soup was so comforting, the sides were delicious, and even dessert was a hit. There are so many items on the menu that I couldn't try everything, so I'll definitely be back. Next time, though, I'm making that reservation! "

    Always pleasure coming here.... They always treat us well and very accommodating. Our party of 14 was very very happy. Food is always amazing, taste great.

    Came here on a Friday for lunch with a group of 5. We arrived 10 minutes before opening and there was already a line outside. We ended up waiting around 10 minutes after they opened to get seated. When we left the wait was around 2 hours, so heads up if you decide to eat here make sure you come early or expect a long wait! Our group decided to get the B menu. All the meat we ordered and sides were all high quality and delicious! Be careful with the sushi orders or you might fill yourself up too fast~. The server was really attentive and always came at the perfect times for us to reorder or ask for a grill change. A must try place if you are ever in Vegas!

    Going to 888 Japanese BBQ was the highlight of my recent Vegas trip! I came here with some friends for Saturday to wind down after gambling at the Strip. PWe came in at opening so we could get seated immediately (the line can get long if you don't go early) There is plenty of parking space as well. The staff were very nice, delivered meat fast, and responsive. We got the AYCE Option B meal, which came with a great selection of delicious meat. The grill was powerful, and had some real heat to it. I liked the hanger steak, beef brisket, LA kalbi and the Prime Harami Miso. The meat definitely had good quality and was marinated well. Before we know it, my friends and I were finishing plate after plate. We left with full bellies and a happy faces. This place is a must try while you're in Vegas. I think it's a great value place for an AYCE JBBQ!

    Service from our server Gianna was great. Though early on it there was a 2 hour wait, where we waited and sat behind a table that was empty for an hour then finally being seated in the same table another hour later had me feeling a bit sour. The selection of meat and sides were all very good. Gianna was truly the saving grace. There really is something about a bad experience that can kill the flavor of the food.

    888 Japanese BBQ Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - 888 Japanese BBQ

    Is the Kobe option worth the price?

    Yes

    The ice cream shown is not included?

    We were there last month and I brought it up to the server. He said to check in on Yelp for free ice cream. Should just include it like all the other AYCE in the area.

    All you can eat?

    Yes. There are three tiers, different price per tier. 2nd is most popular. All tiers AYCE.

    Hello is it possible you can dine with one person or you have to dine in more one person to eat at your restaurant?

    Do you mean dine alone? Most AYCE requires two people. Never know unless you give them a call.

    Do they have high chairs available?

    Yes.

    Is there a vegetarian price?

    No.

    Can we purchase gift cards?

    I would like make 8 person reservation for tomorrow night 6:00 P.m.?

    I was told to go on to the Yelp waitlist and put in how many people you have. They don't actually take reservations. 😐

    Is the seafood wild caught or farm raised?

    I do not see All You Can Eat menu? Is this place offering AYCE?

    Yes. One of the best in town

    Does everyone in your party have to get all you can eat?? Or can one person order differently?

    It's AYCE only. Everyone at the table has to get the same price point. There are three AYCE prices to choose from, each price point comes with different offerings.… 

    Can we call them for a table for 7 to join the waitlist or do we have to go in person?

    If you time it right, you can join the Yelp waitlist at 3ish. Put the max # of ppl and then in the note, put party if 7. If not, you will have to go there & put your name down. It is really good stuff there at 888!

    How much is the prime?

    $44.95. Worth it in my opinion.

    We've done the yelp waitlist, but it's usually for parties of 6 and fewer. if we have a party of 12, how do we go about joining the waitlist, since they don't take reservations?

    You would have show up in person and make a reservation at the restaurant

    How does the menu work? Say we go with the middle tier. Then we each pick how many items? 5? Do we all have to pick the same however many items or do we get different picks from that middle tier?

    There can only be a certain amount of meats order at a time for the whole table. They allot you about 3-4 meats, 3-4 side dishes at a time for thr whole party. If each person order 5 for a party of 5, too many dishes at the table. PLUS, the gril is… 

    Do you offer kid pricing too? Can't find on your website.. thanks

    Kids are half price.

    Can guest make reservations? Edit: the Owner replied below (thank you!), that the website Yelp links…

    Please don’t email them. I called Yelp many times about this fraud website. It’s not our website. Please don’t deposit any money in the PayPal. If you have any questions, please call me. 702-480-6552

    Can we enjoy any of the marinated meats without MSG (Monosodium glutamate?) My husband experienced a stroke with brain damage as a result of monosodium glutamate.

    They're definitely seems to be some choices that come marinated. I would just get the non marinated and not dip into any sauces

    How much does a kid charge?

    According to their website: Angus – Adults: $24.95 (Kids ages 4-8 cost $14.95) Prime – Adults: $28.95… 

    How do you make a reservation ? I couldn't find anywhere on its website to make it as it was suggested on its website.

    No reservations. First come first serve.

The sides were also better than expected. The potato salad was especially good, and the mashed potatoes had a lot of flavor and paired well with the meats. My only disappointment was the smoke profile. I was hoping for a stronger smoke presence across the meats, and they definitely benefited from the sauces. Thankfully, the sauces were excellent, especially the mustard-based sauce, which added a great tangy kick and complemented the BBQ perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. The quality was there, the flavors were good, and it's a strong BBQ option in a city where great barbecue can be hard to find.

I grew up eating KC BBQ and and lived in TX for several years and had plenty of TX BBQ- this to me is decent BBQ but if you know and like phenomenal BBQ this isn't going to compete with that.

It serves…read moreclassic backyard style BBQ with massive portions, high quality meats, and an atmosphere that makes it a true standout. 3 Meat Combo with Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Pork Ribs (5/5): The brisket is the star of the show, coming out incredibly tender, generously portioned, and perfectly marbled without being overly fatty. The pork ribs are wonderfully juicy and packed with deep flavor, pairing nicely with the complimentary sweet BBQ sauce even though they do not strictly need it. Unlike most places where the pulled pork dries out, this one stays remarkably moist and savory throughout. Chili (4/5): A very unique side that is much thinner and more watery than a traditional chili, holding a texture closer to a thin spaghetti sauce. Despite the looser consistency, it is absolutely packed with a variety of delicious smoked meats in every single bite. Mac and Cheese (5/5): An exceptional side dish and a clear favorite of the meal. It's incredibly rich, creamy, and distinctively flavored with sharp cheddar, which gives it a much bolder and more satisfying punch than standard restaurant mac and cheese. Corn Bread (5/5): This side functions almost like a dessert, boasting an incredibly sweet, vanilla cake like taste. The high level of sweetness provides a nice contrast to the intense salt, smoke, and savory flavors of the massive meat plate. Logistics Tip: Parking is limited but manageable between the two adjacent lots, and there is a clean restroom on site. To help beat the intense heat, they generously provide complimentary bottles of ice cold water. Keep in mind that they hosted live music on the late Saturday morning that we went. While it adds a fun, energetic backyard vibe, it can get incredibly loud and makes chatting with friends difficult, so you may want to bring ear protection or plan your arrival time accordingly.

First thing's first: they do NOT play about portions... you get hella food with each combo Everything was on point, the meats were flavorful, tender, and cooked right. The sides held their own too, which always matters. We even stopped in the meat market before leaving and grabbed some chicken and beef links, some frog legs, and a few bones for the dogs The live music was a nice touch and really added to the vibe, and even though they were busy, the wait time honestly wasn't bad at all. Only thing I wasn't really feeling were the sauces, they just weren't my favorite. But everything else hit, so it didn't even matter much.

    This is a solid barbecue joint. Service was great. Atmosphere is awesome…read more I had a two meat platter with an additional sausage link. I had the fatty brisket in the pulled pork. The sausage was a jalapeño cheddar sausage. For my side, I had mac & cheese and coleslaw. To start off, this is a great place. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars I would but I like to round up. Brisket is really good but a little dry in the mouth. Great Smoky flavor. The mouth-feel was just a little off. It was a little dry, but not bad. The pulled pork was wonderful. Nice Smoky flavor. Nice and tender and juicy. Felt great to chew in my mouth and did not feel dry. A+ for the Pork. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was amazing. Really well done. Flavor was great texture was great. Just a little kick, which was great. I always wish there was more kick, but I understand you got a cater to your customers. One thing I was kind of concerned about was the temperature of the coleslaw. It should be really cold, but it was just kind of a little bit of above lukewarm, but not really cold. Coleslaw should be cold. The mac & cheese was pretty good. Needs a little bit more liquid in it but the flavor was awesome. And it looks like they prepackage the Mac 'n cheese in containers and then sprinkle some cheese on top. That's a nice touch, but it makes the whole container of mac & cheese dry out. They only have one barbecue sauce. It was pretty good. But to me the best way to judge barbecue is if it doesn't eat barbecue sauce. And this did not need barbecue sauce. It was just a nice addition. Great ambience. Great music playing. Very clean and well kept area. I would definitely come back when I'm on this side of town.

    I've been to a lot of places over the years, but this one stands out for all the right reasons…read more From the moment you walk through the door, you can tell this isn't just a business--it's a labor of love. Tom and Marni are the heart and soul of this place. Unlike many owners who stay behind the scenes, they're always present, greeting guests, checking on tables, and making sure every customer feels genuinely welcome. Their passion for what they do shines through in every detail. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and feels like you're visiting friends rather than just another establishment. The staff reflects the same level of care and professionalism that Tom and Marni bring every day. It's rare to find owners who are so consistently involved and committed to creating a great experience. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, you're treated like family. The quality, service, and attention to detail are second to none. In a world where personal service is becoming harder to find, Tom and Marni have created something truly special. If you're looking for a place that combines outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and owners who genuinely care about their customers, look no further. This is exactly the kind of local business that deserves to be supported. Five stars isn't enough.

    Another over-priced sad excuse for expensive BBQ beef Jerky. This place is a "one and done" for us…read more Getting extremely tired of paying premium prices for garbage product. The brisket burnt ends taste, and feel, like they're re-heating and serving leftovers from yesterday or the day before. Portions are kid plate sizes - definitely does NOT match the prices they are charging us. Not sure how these places stay open, but guess they depend on people getting what they're served and keeping their mouths shut; probably from all the dried meats. Ribs taste old - again, taste like it was leftover and re-heated from Saturday. Okras were good. Mac is good. Turkey was moist and tender. As for the rest, it was as dry as their toast. What makes me so critical - spent 16 years in culinary. Certified Pit Master, from Austin, TX. One and done.

    On our way back to California from Vegas, we pulled off the road into a pleasant little town called…read moreSouth Hills, Nevada. I've been to Vegas countless times and had never even heard of this place. What started as a quick restroom stop at Terrible's turned into an incredible midday meal at Mama Bird. The restaurant was spotless and had such a robust menu that deciding what to order was actually the hardest part. I went with the blackened catfish and watermelon slices, while my girl chose the pulled pork sandwich. We also shared the smoked wings as an appetizer. Our server, Troy, made some excellent recommendations, and everything exceeded our expectations. The portions were generous, and every bite was packed with flavor. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Mama Bird, and thank you, Troy. We truly enjoyed the food, the service, and the overall experience. Until next time... from Cali with love.
