Such a great experience. I got the omakase with sake tasting for my first time. Chef is amazing. Food is mouth watering. Fish is fresh and melts in your mouth. Sake and the presentation was up to par. Ambiance is nice and traditional. Dessert was so the best too. Will be coming back when I'm in Vegas! read more

Needed to change it up from my usual Las Vegas haunts, so I came to Kabuto to try their $185 Kabuto Course menu. I can safely say this omakase experience was up there with some of the omakases I've had. After having Chawamushi and Yakimono Alpine King Salmon as appetizers, we dug into the premium nigiri selection. Not the most creative omakase I've had, but damn the fish was great quality and also extremely huge cuts. You can tell the effort that was put into the nigiri to maximize the flavor of each fish. Plus they offered us to choose anything on the menu to add on as extra nigiri orders. Never had Buri-toro (King Yellowtail Belly) or Jabara-toro (Bellows Belly) before, but damn these were some NICE cuts. At $185, this is more than worth it and then some. Service here was fantastic as to be expected. They introduced every dish, and they even indulged me so that I could correctly write down every item served. Plus we had a good conversation with the sushi chef as well. Ambience in here is nice. Very nicely lit, very spaced out. Obviously we sat at the counter due to the omakase, but it was very spacious there as well. Definitely had a great experience here. I would not be surprised if they found themselves on the revived Michelin Guide when it comes out in August. read more

Service was solid. I expected more interactions and conversations and explanations from the staff as I selected the bar seating and extended menu. Food definitely high priced for being off strip Ambiance I think lighting and music could be adjusted read more

Went with the $130 set menu and then added on 3 pieces at the end. The service was quite good and well timed without much wasted time which was very nice. The fish quality however could be a little higher and also each piece of sushi, particularly for the nigiri didn't have it's own flavoring or seasoning. So it made each piece seem bland when the fish quality was fairly fresh. However, I will say it's probably pretty good for vegas off the strip, but it certainly will not compare to other sushi places in NY or LA. It was nice that they did have some pieces of nigiri that are less often available like torched tuna belly which was almost falling apart from being fatty. I think the price to quality ratio is not worth it compared to other sushi spots in the country. read more

A can't miss if you seek a high end Omakase. Reservations are accepted up to one month in advance by phone and Resy only. This was a superb Omakase and we went for it all with the 8 course Premium Chef Omakase called the "Kabuto Course." Everything is presented with friendly precision. The servings are generous and delicious. All the fish was fresh. The assortment of tuna included THE best variety of toro(s) I have ever tasted. Bring your appetite for a totally indulgent experience. One note is that, unlike other omakase places, Kabuto is inappropriately loud. Also, the decor is basic and if you are seated at a table for four, two of you will be facing a blank wall. Pro tip--try to get a seat at the counter. read more

I booked a meal here while I was on vacation assuming this place would be nice and accommodating especially with the amount of money they're charging for an omakase. Upon confirming today, as well as the initial reservation, they text me refusing to accommodate my gluten allergy. I am well aware that soy sauce is used in most Asian food. I am also well aware that there are restaurants that are accommodating to allergies, including gluten. I am absolutely appalled that they didn't even bother to try and work anything out with advanced notice or have anything in place for people with gluten allergies. I didn't ask to develop a gluten allergy, nor should I be punished for it. read more

The servers were so kind. Food was delicious, excellent quality fish. The place is small and intimate like the omakase we had in Japan. The whole omakase course was filling so don't try to eat a lot beforehand. I almost didn't make it to the end because I was so full. read more

Amazing amazing dining experience. I'm so glad my friend recommended this place - she came 10 years ago and Kabuto has still kept up the same quality experience! Tuesday dinner at 7:45pm for two booked online, about 1 week in advance. They text you to confirm the reservation and ask which omakase menu you'd like (7-course for $130 or 8-course for $185). Sitting at the sushi bar is definitely a great experience (vs a table). We arrived 30 minutes early, they were able to seat us 15 minutes later. The outside is very subtle, we almost missed it. It's in a plaza; the lot was full but there's plenty of turnover and we got a spot pretty easily nearby. Service was impeccable, prompt, professional friendly. The type of place where if you take a few minutes to go to the bathroom, no fewer than 3 people come by to push the chair in, fold the napkin, arrange your spot so it looks just right. Based on past experience doing omakase, my partner was expecting to need to go out and get a burger afterwards just to feel full. Not in this case - we definitely got plenty of food with the $130 menu! The Sakari Yuzu (in the Unique Sake section) was recommended when I asked for something light and refreshing. Both me and my partner really loved this, and we usually like totally different types of drinks. I liked it so much I'm looking up where I can buy bottles myself! It was just lightly sweet, citrusy, super tasty and refreshing. What can I say about the omakase... everything was incredible. The fish was insanely fresh (we were wondering how they get everything to Vegas so fresh). There were also warm starters and things like miso soup; such good flavor. The matcha tea they give you at the end tastes so good, I never thought I would enjoy matcha so much, and it was paired with dessert and worked surprisingly well (not too bitter). I'm usually not very impressed with tuna, yet the toro was so tasty. I've never had uni so deliciously sweet. Pricey at $337 total for two people, but honestly for how pricey Vegas is, we've had plenty of meals costing this much that weren't nearly as good. Totally worth it IMO! read more

Our first time at Kabuto was to celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary. This would have been a 5-star review back then because the chef-to-guest experience was outstanding. We enjoyed it so much (especially the jabara-toro) that we decided to bring the whole family here on our next Vegas trip. My husband (John L) had the best reasons to go last December - his birthday and Christmas! Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment compared to our first visit. Since it was the holiday season, we had to pay a higher price per person. It was advertised as better than their regular Kabuto Course (Premium Chef Omakase). Our party of 5 occupied one side of the counter. The ambience was great and the servers were very attentive. Other than the "Holiday Special" printed on the menu, everything looked the same as the Premium Omakase offering - appetizer, warm dish, sashimi, seasonal grill, nigiri premium selection, hand roll, soup, and dessert. The nigiri selection was superb highlighted by the akamutsu, ezo-bafun uni, kinme-tai, and botan-ebi. However, there was one glaring difference between this visit and the first one - we did not get the jabara-toro as our last nigiri. We got the otoro which was also delicious, but we hyped the jabara-toro so much for our two daughters and our would-be son-in-law that the excitement went so far down the drain when we did not get it. To save the night, we had to order a round of jabara-toro for everyone. Comparing this with our phenomenal first-time visit, I could say we paid much more for less. I understand that "omakase" is chef's choice, but our chef should have picked the finest cut of the belly. The menu says "Holiday Special" after all. read more

Found this spot while searching for an omakase spot as my friend mentioned she was craving one while we were on a vacation in Las Vegas. We did the $175/pp Kabuto option which was 8-courses incl. seasonal grill and 12 pcs. of Nigiri. The two of us arrived shortly before 8PM and we were seated in a four person table both facing the bar. The restaurant was very open and luckily not echoey as conversation between parties started ramping up. We were worried the experience would be lessened by the fact we got a table and that was not the case. Our server was very knowledgeable about the dishes being brought to us course by course and even recommended we get light rice and adjusting it as needed while my friend got full near the end. Everything was of a wide variety and tasted fresh. The highlight had to have been the chawanmushi which was well cooked and packed with ingredients. The seasonal grill, a miso sea bass did seem slightly dryer than others I've had, it was the only thing I felt was lacking. Highly recommend if you're in the area, I felt the pricing was very reasonable for the experience provided compared to similar restaurants in Southern California that I've been to. This one especially a good option for people trying to use the quarterly Platinum Resy benefit as it is listed on the Resy list. read more

We went to Kabuto in Jan 2026 and what an excellent omakase experience! Friendly staff, great ambiance and outstanding value for the price. They offer two sets of menu - $130 and $185, as far as I am aware, the higher one comes with an additional grill course and a few items will be upgraded to a premium selection. We both opted for the $130 menu, it was definitely worth it and we were stuffed. The appetizer, warm dish and sashimi were a good start and they were all delicious, especially the cold smoked salmon with yuzu and the finest scallops. The nigiris came with 8 pieces followed by a negitoro hand roll. All pieces were stunning and in good quality. The one that really blew me away was the ikura and uni. They were extremely fresh and probably it was the best uni I had in a while. I also liked the chu-toro which was fatty, delicious and decadent. We appreciated our chef, Matsu San for preparing the nigiris and having every pieces explained to us when they were served. The rice in good temperature and portion, along with the excellent quality fish was something unique and satisfying. Our waitress was Bie and she is the best. Very kind and attentive, frequently topped off our water during the meal, she did everything amazing from greeting to walking us out. Overall Kabuto nicely executed the omakase experience, highly recommend this place and we plan to return in a near future. read more

My colleagues and I were looking to grab some sushi for dinner one night while we were in Vegas for a conference. After searching Yelp, Kabuto came up - and the combination of high reviews and great pictures pretty much sealed the deal. That being said, we headed over to check it out. Kabuto is located in a small strip mall - the entrance is unassuming and the interior has a relatively simple setup. The dining area is small - outside of the sushi bar that has about 10 chairs, there are only three other tables. The decor was minimal - there were a couple of accents on the wall but outside of that it was pretty plain. Kabuto offers an omakase prix fixe menu with two choices/price points. We decided to go with the lower-priced option which came with eight courses; after sitting we ordered some sake and then the courses started. They did a good job presenting a variety of dishes - lots of different seafood which were described as each course was served. Everything tasted fresh, with the biggest standouts for me being the fluke served in a brow sauce and the green tea dessert. Service was great - the courses came out at a good pace and everyone was super friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Kabuto - while nothing really blew me away, the quality was there and we had a good meal. I would probably opt for other sushi spots next time I'm in Vegas, but it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Amazing omakase, they imported their fish from Japan daily. We had plenty of fresh sashimi and nigiri. There are a really good vibe to the place and you can see the chef if you get a good sitting as we had. The service was great, it is a little bit pricey but worth every penny we spent. read more

We came to Kabuto to celebrate our anniversary and ordered the $185 omakase for two. The food was excellent--beautifully prepared, high-quality fish, and a thoughtfully paced progression of courses. Service was attentive and professional throughout. However, the overall experience felt rushed toward the end. Because the omakase is quite substantial, we naturally needed a bit more time to enjoy each course. We weren't lingering excessively, but we were told that the next reservation was arriving, which made us feel pressured to finish sooner than we would have liked. For a special-occasion dinner--especially at this price point--that sense of being hurried detracted from what would otherwise have been a wonderful experience. I understand restaurants manage tight seating schedules, but guests choosing a full omakase should be allowed a comfortable amount of time to enjoy it. With more flexible pacing or clearer expectations upfront, this could easily be a 5-star experience. read more

overall, one of the better omakases I've had! $130 for 7 courses, with a nigiri course of 10 pieces. well-paced, filling without being overwhelming, and everything was delicious Appetizer - tofu, eel, caviars - jelly fish, pickled seaweed warm dish - black cod, mistake mushroom gravy, herbs, rice crackers sashimi - 2 pieces of madai - 2 pieces of young yellowtail (my first time trying this! firmer and less fatty than hamachi) nigiri - jack mackerel w/ chives and ginger - jumbo sweet shrimp - akami - sea bream w/ sea salt and lemon - chutoro - shima aji - fluke - hokkaido uni - soy marinated ikura - tamago most pieces were classic soy sauce + wasabi pairings, but there were a few more experimental combinations too. Not all of them landed for me, like the sea bream which felt a bit confusing with salt, citrus, and wasabi all at once. Also wasn't the biggest fan of the strong ginger on the mackerel, and the ikura was salty however the fish quality was excellent. the white fish were some of the best I've had, the akami was super clean and flavorful, and the hokkaido uni was incredibly sweet. They had a really unique a la carte menu too! I tried the kamashita (tuna collar) for the first time. It's even fattier than o-toro, and just melted like cotton candy in my mouth. roll - negi toro roll soup - mushroom miso soup dessert - matcha ice cream, red bean, fruits overall, I do think it lacked a few "wow" moments. I was really impressed by the opening appetizer and some standout fish, but everything else was just pretty good. read more

My experience at Kabuto was incredible. I'm so glad I was able to get a last minute reservation here. From the moment you enter the restaurant, the service is impeccable. All our needs were anticipated, which contributed to a very comfortable and enjoyable dinner. We opted for the $120 omakase menu and planned to just order additional nigiri a la carte if we were still hungry; however, it ended up being the perfect amount! The fish was all extremely fresh and the portion sizes are very fair/satisfactory. Reservation is needed. Bar seating is preferred for the full experience! I can't wait to come back here the next time I'm in Vegas. read more

Food: 4/5 - Overall, the sushi was beyond my expectation! - There was one piece that was slightly too salty but the others were good. - It would have been better if the rice was warm as when it hit the mouth it appeared cold. -Tamago also would've been nice to be on the warm side, it was cold. -My favorite was the first appetizer dishes. The tofu was soooo good. -The mushroom soup was yummy! Service: 5/5 May was very kind. Very attentive on refilling beverages and friendly. Our chef was also so fast in preparing each piece! Ambiance: 5/5 Clean, modern. Highly recommend and would come again. This place improved since the last time we were here during Covid. As stated earlier, the experience turned out far better than our first time here! Very interesting to also see new chefs here. read more

The best sushi in Vegas. My friend and I came here with very high expectations, and they were somehow exceeded. The service is impressive with extreme attention to detail and timing. I love the cozy ambiance with a small Japanese sushi restaurant feel. The food is truly amazing as the fish is super high quality and the omakase hot and cold dishes are beautifully crafted. The price to quality ratio is amazing and I highly recommend. read more

I've been to Kabuto twice now and each time I booked too last minute to make reservations at the bar, so I can only speak from my experience sitting at the tables. The tables themselves are spacious and have their respective servers separate from the servers at the bar. As is accustomed with omakase dining experiences the servers take their time to explain each dish as it is presented to you and I've only had pleasant experiences with the servers I've had. They do their best to accommodate any dietary restrictions, but do keep in mind that omakase by definition is the chefs choice, which means the meal is compromised of a fixed course. There are two fixed course options: yoroi ($120/pp) and kabuto ($175/pp) with an option to add a sake pairing for each course ($62/pp for yoroi; $68/pp for kabuto). The most recent time I've dined here I opted for the yoroi course option with the sake pairing due to not wanting the additional grilled options being offered with the kabuto menu. The course consisted of an appetizer, warm dish, sashimi, nigiri, handroll, soup, and dessert (pictured except for the sashimi and handroll). I found the meal to be very filling and was tapping out by the time the handrolls had arrived. My favorites were the hiyayakko tofu appetizer and the nigiri pieces notably the seabream, uni, and chu-toro (fatty tuna). The sake pairings were lovely and came out with each course. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't the best restaurant to bring guests who speak at what would be considered above average volumes. The atmosphere itself is quieter, which compliments the artistry of the courses, however each time I've visited I've brought guests I was eager to catch up with over a meal and drinks. To the restaurant and servers credit no one said anything to us, but we did feel scrutinized by other patrons notably the woman sitting beside us who glared at my partner and visibly rolled her eyes multiple times when we each walked back from the bathroom lol. Overall I do love this omakase, but strongly recommend going with a "tamer" bunch. read more

Amazing omakase experience! Located in a plaza in Chinatown, this restaurant offers an exclusive and intimate opportunity to taste fresh fish with omakase chefs.

Wow ! Just wow is the only way to start this review. We were lucky enough to score a reservation for a sitting at the sushi bar. We were celebrating player 2s birthday. I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion celebration, as the service and atmosphere are amazing. Booking was easy enough as they use Resy, slightly confusing once you get your Resy confirmation, instructions are to email them with a menu choice. Turns out just reply to the Resy confirmation and it's recorded. Appears the due 2 seating, one early at 545 and one at 745. We did the 745. Easy to find location, very intimate space, looks like only about 12-15 people can be sat at a time. Very traditional Japanese minimalist ambience. Gives Tokyo chic vibes. Now into the food- we chose the Kobuto menu, cause it you're gonna splurge might as well go big. We were not disappointed at all. They also offered sake pairing, which ends up being 6-7 different sakes and essentially a bottles worth. We are big eaters, and we left stuffed after 7 courses ( and 2 additional Otoro rolls). The blue fin Otoro is definitely the star of the show, at least for us. Every course we found ourselves more impressed than the last. Very thoughtfully curated experience. The service was top notch and our server was very informative and helpful. Explained the different regions for the sake and different tastes with the food being served. 100% recommend, we would go here weekly if it made economic sense lmao. read more

First time here and it was a great experience. My wife and I weren't sure whether to pick between the more expensive Kabuto course or the cheaper Yoroi course, but as big nigiri lovers - and after seeing the differences with the tables around us that ordered Kabuto - we are very glad we went with the Yoroi menu. Simply put, go with the Kabuto course if you want their intended full experience, as it comes with more appetizers and desserts, as well as a unique seasonal grill (which was Chilean sea bass on the night we went). Otherwise, while the Yoroi course comes with less offerings by default (which is a plus for those who don't eat too much), you get significantly more freedom in what nigiri you get, and this is important if nigiri is the main reason you're there. While Yoroi does not inherently come with certain premium nigiri selections that comes with Kabuto (e.g. premium fatty tuna, red seapearch), you are offered an opportunity to add on any nigiri you'd like a la carte for an extra charge between the nigiri and handroll services. Not only was I still able to enjoy the premium fatty tuna and red seapearch, I added on the Hokkaido scallop and bellows belly which wouldn't have been included by default even if I splurged on the Kabuto course. As someone who needs a decent amount to get full, the Yoroi course with 4 add-on nigiri selections left me quite satisfied, while spending less than the cost of the Kabuto course. I didn't feel like I missed out at all from not having any of the additional appetizers, seasonal grill, or desserts - but I'm mainly a nigiri guy anyway. Notably, we came during their second seating of the night (7:45pm). Some items, such as the king yellowtail belly and three line grunt, were not available for us. I'm not sure if this was because they didn't have it at all, or if it had run out earlier in the day, but that might be a reason to come for their earlier seating (5:30pm) if possible. Reservations (via Resy) strongly recommended. Would also recommend going for a sushi bar seating as opposed to a dining table seating for the full experience. If you're at the bar, you get the front row view on the chefs in action and they pass you each item one by one, while eating at the dining table means several of your items get plated together and brought to you at your table by the server. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOROI MENU (varies depending on availability) *Favorites are starred Appetizer - Wasn't paying attention yet... oops Warm dish - Fresh water eel (unagi kabayaki)* Sashimi - Kushi oyster (kaki) - Fluke muscle fin (engawa)* Nigiri - Itoyori bream (itoyori)* - Sweet shrimp (botan-ebi)* - Lean tuna (akami) - Red snapper (ma-tai) - Jack mackerel (ma-aji) - Salmon roe (ikura) - Sweet Japanese sea urchin (ezo-bafun uni)* - Striped jack (shima-aji) - Medium fatty tuna (chu-toro)* - Sweet omelette (gyoku) Add-on nigiri - extra charge - Hokkaido scallop (Hokkaido hotate)** - 2nd favorite item of the night - Premium fatty tuna (o-toro)* - while great, there wasn't as big of a difference between this and the medium fatty tuna as compared to the medium fatty tuna and lean tuna where there was a significant difference - Red seaperch (akamutsu)* - Bellows belly (jabara-toro)*** - best item of the night Roll - Some sort of tuna Soup - Choice of clam or mushroom miso soup Dessert - Matcha ice cream with brown sugar syrup* - Two mochis - Red bean paste - Seasonal fruits - Green tea read more

Incredible, fresh fish and beautifully crafted dishes. The omakase is amazing, just a bit pricey

Kabuto is the 2nd best omakase dinner I've ever had in my life, next to one I had in Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, straight from the source. Service was amazing. We went for New Year's Eve and had the 8-course meal and left so disgustingly full, but in a good way. It could've been the bottle of yuzu sake too, which we embarrassingly finished between my wife and I. So refreshing.. brought us back to our happenstance sake tasting in Yamashita park. The highlight of the meal for me was the jabara toro, which is even fattier than otoro. All the nigiri tasted so good and were not the usual nigiri that you would be served at an all you can eat sushi restaurant, which is really nice. The appetizers had so many layers of flavors to them. I'm not usually a dessert person, but even after 7 courses, one course being 12 pieces of nigiri, I finished my dessert, all 3 of them. I would absolutely recommend Kabuto to anyone looking for a top tier omakase dinner. read more

My friends and I have been wanting to try Kabuto for 2 years, but our schedules of visiting Vegas never worked out until now...and it was so WORTH it We got the 14pc omakase & I was soo satisfied and full from that. The fish broth out of a pot was simply divine. The fish quality was so good & extremely fresh. Flavors were on point like a Michelin experience. The king salmon belly, marinated tuna, and otoro were great. The rice and rice portion was perfect. I highly recommend experiencing the omakase here! The chefs are so friendly and have a good sense of humor. The waitresses are so attentive and sweet. The interior is modern and clean. Love that they have handbag hooks .

My partner and I somehow got a reservation day of for 8:15pm for my birthday. The service was amazing, so attentive. I loved the ambiance, how quiet it was and the layout makes it so it's not crowded at all. Ive has omakase numerous times, this was one of the best I've had. The quality and selection of the fish was outstanding. My partner loves sushi and told me it was the best omakase experience he's had. The chu-toro melts in your mouth. I loved the selections of fish. You get 12 pieces of nigiri and 6 pieces of sashimi with other appawhich is generous for the price. The dessert was delicious! Lychee sorbet (which I'm guessing was homemade) was fantastic and I loved the yuzu cheesecake. We will definitely come back!! read more

This is still outstanding food. On this repeat visit, with a holiday menu, i had; King crab with jellyfish and miso King salmon with ponzu Seared King yellowtail with sesame Chawanmushi custard with monkfish liver, scallop, shiitake, and gingko nuts Sashimi of kushi oyster, chu-toro, and snapper . The snapper was forgettable, the others excellent. Grilled rock lobster with sea urchin miso and King mushroom Nigiri course of shrimp, grunt, scallop, big eye, o-toro, salmon roe, sea perch, and sea urchin, and tamago, . As before, I don't like roe and I liked this roe. I believe, however, that there were other Nigiri that got skipped for people at the sushi bar and hot served to tables. Negi-toro (onion toro) hand roll Miso with either clam or mushroom "Dessert trio " of green tea cheesecake, lychee sorbet, and mochi with red bean and cinnamon. This in particular was better than last time's dessert. I loved the sorbet. As you would expect at this price point, everything was beautifully plated. The fish were perfect, amazing flavors atop salty, vinegary rice. One thing that's changed -- the sake pairing. It now ends before the savory courses end, which IMO is not quite kind to the diner. The value has also changed in that your $85 now gets you 6 X 2oz pours, ie much less than ordering a $50 bottle. Used to be you could get a little extra by asking if you liked one of the bottles; no longer. You'll get charged for an extra glass instead. So, it's still good. And maybe I experienced their "holiday" menu being just a general upcharge for the season. But I am less in love than last time. If I'm back in a few years maybe they'll be back to usual. read more

We returned from Hokkaido , Japan recently and wanted a Japan fix. This establishment is the best we have had so far. I can taste Japan in the middle of the desert in Las Vegas. The quality and freshness of the fish is top notch. The service is great as the servers are only assigned to one or two table max so they tend to your needs very quickly. There was fresh grated wasabi which is different from the one you buy in a tube at the store. It's an intimate setting so it's perfect for any celebration. Make reservations ahead to reserve a spot. Top omakase I've had so far as a local in Vegas. I'll be coming back. My top favorite was the lean tuna, chu toro, , uni, and the bream with lemon seasoning . I'm not an uni person but it was so sweet from Hokkaido. read more

This place came highly recommended.. excited to try omakase for the first time.. we went in with an open mind.. the octopus was tough, the nigiri was not only fishy but also some pieces too tough, I found myself gagging over some and my husband spitting others out. We were really trying to like it, we ended up leaving behind several pieces and skipping the roll and soup, At $130 per person I expected higher quality products, we left there feeling very disappointed. As I sit in our hotel room I am nauseous and overall not feeling great. read more

Since my first time here over 3 years ago, I have returned 3 more times and each time back gets better and better. Since my first review, Kabuto has seriously upped their desserts (which was my only negative originally). Now they offer a trio of desserts and all are delicious. For example, tonight for the dessert trio it was: green tea cheesecake, lychee ice cream, and red bean stuffed mochi. All were delicious! We opted for the $195 holiday menu and it was phenomenal and featured multiple servings of toro as well as oysters, crab, lobster, uni, scallop, roe and many other types of delicious fish! We ate so much our favorites were: -Kelp cured fluke -Shigoku oyster -Chu toro medium fatty tuna -Kinme tai golden big eye -Three line grunt -Akami lean tuna -Botan ebi sweet shrimp -Ikura salmon roe -Uni -Ma aji jack mackerel -Amberjack -Marbled fatty tuna -Black sea perch with yuzu kusho I could go on and on!! We ate so much and literally everything was delicious! Kabuto will be our regular dinner reservation when we are in Vegas! read more

The fish is fresh and high quality. The pre fixe menu has a good variety of fish. With that said, with all the servings precut and the chef just dispenses them lessen the experience somewhat - but it is probably just me. On two different occasions, we have tried their $175 and $120 menu. I found the $175 menu is too much food for us, and the $120 menu will do for most except it does not have shell fish. But we usually ordered a couple seasonal or specialty offerings (just ask the chef) to go with our sake. If you are visiting or new in town, Kabuto is worth your consideration. The service is friendly and the chefs are somewhat engaging. Simple decor and the crowd is there to have a good time or celebrate a special event. You may be tempted to try the previous chef/owner's restaurant, but their pre fixe menu may be too tuna centric for some and I felt overwhelmed. Parking can be a challenge as there are several good restaurants located in the same strip mall. Reservation is highly recommended and it is a RESY member. Enjoy and we are looking forward to our next visit. read more

Kabuto offered an authentic Japanese dining experience. The service was fantastic but the food was underwhelming for the price point. Half of the dishes were amazing but at least 1/4 of the dishes we didn't touch and the other 1/4 were okay. There are so many options in Vegas at lower price points, or same price point but so much better value. I've been to Japan and am familiar with the various dishes. Great service but over priced for what it is. read more

One of the best omakase experiences ! Great time with friends at this place while visiting from out of town. Service was top notch. Appreciate Yumi for hosting us. Food was very Michelin star worthy. Highlights including uni, miso bass, steamed egg, toro. Overall the quality was amazing. Paired with sake, really brought out the umami of the entire course. Highly recommend for anyone that love sushi. If not already this place deserves a star. read more

"The sushi prepared traditionally in Tokyo area, originating as street food, nearly 200 years ago. Utilizing the fresh catch from the local Tokyo Bay. Small pieces of raw or marinated fish applied to bite size pieces of vinegar rice known as nigiri sushi. Quickly prepared and quickly consumed an ideal roadside bite." If you are an omakase fan, you will love Kabuto. Our table opted for the "Yoroi Course" aka Chef's Omakase for $120 per person. The higher tier meal is the "Kabuto Course" aka Premium Omakase for $175 per person. The Yoroi Course comes with the following: Appetizer 先付 Warm Dish 温物 Sashimi 刺身 Nigiri 握り Handroll 手巻き Soup 椀物 Dessert デザート This is a no frills establishment. The ambience is calm and serene. Think Japanese minimalism. The focus is on the food. Our waitress was delightful. 5 stars. Can't go wrong here! read more

They accommodated us for showing up 30mins earlier to our reservation. The service was impeccable throught out the dinner. The food was just an elevated experience from all other Japanese restaurants. The visual on less is more on plating, and the balance on taste from the broth to marinated fish was true perfection. Parking can be a little challenging, but the ambiance inside quickly transform the vibe to a peaceful zen garden. We look forward to coming back soon. read more

My third visit here, and as ever the omakase was excellent. It's very surprising that the price ($175) hasn't increased in 3 years.

Always wanted to try this omakase spot for awhile now and I decided to try it for my boyfriends birthday. We've been to a couple omakase spots, but I've always known this restaurant to be one of the first here in Vegas plus it was reasonably priced as well! I was very lucky to get a reservation on a Sunday night at the bar. Can't do an omakase without sitting at the bar in my opinion! Upon walking into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the servers and even the chefs. This place is small and usually that's how omakase experiences are. It's intimate and the chefs talk to you as well. We decided to do the 175 per person experience since we've never been here before and man, we were really full by the end of the meal. The chefs prepared 12 different types of their highest grade nigiris along with the hot and cold appetizers. Very impressed with how lard the menu is. Plus they also do sake pairing for an additional 68 bucks on top of that which is a good price! The quality of the fish was amazing, the appetizers were amazing, and the experience.. A+!!! The workers here pay close attention to detail with everything and I'm all for it. This place will be our go to omakase spot and next time we will be trying the sake pairing with it. read more
