My favorite sushi spot! I've only been to Kabuto two times thus far, but both times were legendary. It's so damn good that even after gorging on the premium 'Kabuto' omakase, which is a ton of food, I order at least 6 more orders of nigiri (several more chu-toros & o-toros lolol, uni, hokkaido hotate, akamutsu, and can't forget my dessert finishers tamago & unagi). Service is amazing as you'd expect at a place like this. The establishment is quaint & very minimalistic, and you just know when you step inside that you're gonna be in for a treat. I come to Vegas at least 5-6x a year. I wish I could hit up Kabuto every visit, but I'm not rich and $300+ just for me,myself, & I means I need to pick and choose my battles lololol I can't wait to come back and treat myself again @ Kabuto! read more

Probably the greatest meal I've ever had in my life. I came here nervous about if the cost would be worth and my god it was. 10 piece nigiri omakase left me full and dumbfounded at how good sushi can be. Will definitely come back one day read more

This is what omakase in its purest form looks like. Kabuto advertised itself as a spot for edomae style sushi. And that is exactly what this was. Kabuto offers 2 omakase sets, one priced at $120, the other priced at $175. I chose to go with the $120 option to leave room for additional purchases if I felt that the set was insufficient. The standard set was mouthwateringly good, using the freshest ingredients with a hint of creativity. The sauces and toppings were light, never overwhelming and fish was various and fresh. After we ate the nigiri set, the server offered us the nigiri menu in its entirety, and asked if we wanted to add any individual items. The fish selection was wide, with prices ranging from $7 to $10. I found this pricing to be reasonable, and ended up adding two nigiri on top of the omakase set. Both were excellent and things that I will definitely get again. T Service was attentive and cordial, as you would expect from a Japanese restaurant. The location is in Chinatown, a few miles away from the Las Vegas strip. A cab ride typically is $15 to $20, but note that surge pricing may affect this. Overall fantastic edomae style omakase, arguably the best in LV. read more

The presentation and experience was amazing. If you have about $500 that you would like to spend for two people to have that experience with drinks then this is your place. Some of the sushi was amazing and there were some pieces that were just gross like the rubbery fishy clam. Overall the experience was awesome for Omakase, but I believe some better/premium fish could have been served. The next day after coming here, I went to China town and got a whole plate of flawless Otoro for less than $25. It's a conflict because the the things that were good were more like Devine, then you would get something like the clam that was so horrible you would want to spit it out there. I will highlight what was good although no special request are allow. The jack mackerel was heavenly and I hope one day to find something as good. The toro cuts were amazing. Whatever the cooked fish was just blew me away-so good! The muscles tasted like the fresh sea and I almost felt I was there. All the other dishes were different but nothing special except the dessert ice cream...OMG I may come back just for that. You could tell it was definitely homemade with custom mochi pieces around of different flavors. If you want an experience or to impress someone then come here and enjoy your evening- just say your allergic to clams read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I love the minimalist decor. The skill of the chefs and the absolutely flawless service. We had the larger omakase with the house made sake. For an average appetite you will need to add some additional items which we did...but I guess that just allows you to experience more! Quality of the food was exceptional 5++++ Service was perfect 5+++++ My only regret is that I do not live in Vegas so I can only enjoy this restaurant every now and then. read more

Supporting local businesses. Kabuto reopened with their carry out service on May 1. Even though the menu is limited. It didn't disappoint. Even it was to go service, the quality is still top notch. They sold out their means as soon as they opened. We ordered all 4 items in the menu. My 13 year old demolished the 8 assorted nigiri. We enjoyed the other selection. Advised to call or text the day before for your order. Can't wait for this restaurant to reopen for good. read more

Finally went to try Kabuto this past weekend. My husband actually stumbled upon it when he was having dessert next door. We got reservation a month in advance. Kabuto offers only 2 sets of omakase $120 and $175 per person. Of course, my husband chooses the $175 premium selection, which I'm glad he did. You can also add sake pairing for additional $68/pp. The presentation was lovely, good amount size of food. We did wanted to try a few more items, after chef serves all the nigiri they ask if you want to add more before giving you the final hand roll. So in addition, we ordered ankimo and 2 ma-saba, nigiri by the pieces range from $7-15/per piece. Our absolute favorite for the night was the sweet Japanese sea urchin $15 and Jabara toro $10. When you first sit down, the menu selection you chose is on the table along side with nigiri menu. Each menu has a date, so perhaps means their fish price and selection changes. It was overall a good experience and felt traditional omakase. For 2 people, after tax, it was a little over $400, plus tip and uber ride to get there around $500/ for 2 people. But it's a good anniversary or special occasion dinner spot. Quiet, wonderful food and service. We'll come back again. read more

Absolutely fantastic food, some of the best sushi I've had outside of Japan. First rate service as well. definitely worth the hype!

Kabuto omakase experience was very good with the fish being the highlight. We opted for the Yoroi menu but then added additional premium sushi choices as we did not want to go with the seasonal grill. The sushi chefs do not seem to interact with the diners except to serve so if you are looking for an interactive experience with them, it is a little challenging. The focus would be with your date or other diners to speak more about the presentation and flavors as the room itself is minimalist. The overall experience was worth the dining experience except for the challenges with the bill. I thought I was doing a favor by leaving a 25% tip in cash (most servers prefer this) but instead of just taking the cash tip, they then also doubled their tip for themselves by charging the tip total again on my credit card. I have called them to reverse the charges thinking maybe a mistake and they were very gracious but still the charges remain after 2 weeks. The restaurant ambiance is very well done. Food is elegantly prepared and served and the servers do take care to make you feel welcome. I would be cautious on how you end up paying for your meal. Either do not leave cash or watch for final charges your credit card statement. This reservation was made through Resy through the AMEX global experience. read more

Probably not the best venue for people not familiar with sushi and Japanese food in general. However, if you have been to Japan or eaten at the many authentic places around the world, you should be good to go. They have pared things down to two different courses $120 / $175, with the second one having an extra meaty dish. You can also add on extra orders of sushi if you still feeling hungry or indulgent. We did the $120 course and I just added on a couple of items and found myself to be fairly satisfied with the portions. Each dish is created specifically for you. I figure they start prepping before you show up. They request confirmation of your course choice before you go. You'll be on the hook for dinner if you don't show. I could write a whole thing about each dish, but yelp doesn't pay me for my reviews and it will vary from season to season. It is enough to say that if you don't like your dish, you might be a picky eater. I hate eggplant and found my eggplant dish to be quite palatable. As each dish is presented, they will explain the basics of the dish. For drinks, you can order various sake and wine... although I don't know why you would pair a pinot gris with this. I recommend getting the sake pairing for $62 unless you are some kind of expert or have particular tastes. You get five drinks to go with your seven courses and can also add on by the glass or a whole bottle if you need it. They do a great job of varying the flavors and giving you a breadth of sake experience. No crummy swill that you drop in beers. They take reservations 30 days in advance and only have two seatings per night. If you are targeting a Friday/Saturday/Holiday period, be sure to wake up at midnight or else you will be out of luck. Weekdays are much easier to manage. Parking is a bit limited as there are a bunch of other restaurants in the same plaza. And yeah, it isn't the fanciest looking plaza, but you are in the right place. Not a bad idea to catch a ride instead of parking. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday and it was easily the best meal I've EVER had. I got really lucky and there was exactly one slot that opened up that fit my schedule perfectly, and so I was really excited to see whether or not it would live up to the reviews. Though it's at an unassuming plaza, the interior is warm and inviting and intimate. We got sat at the bar and it was so exciting to see the chefs prepare the fish! The service was amazing from the start. Every dish was brought out promptly after we finished, and if our waters were just 75% full, they were refilled right away. Each dish was explained as well! We were also given hand towels in the beginning as well as a wipe to use while eating the nigiri. The food was amazing. I'm not even a huge fan of seafood, but I ate every single dish and was about to burst from how full I was, so I was relieved that I didn't opt to get the larger course instead. This was easily the best nigiri I've ever had. Each one was so fresh and delicious! I was wowed by the presentation as well, and genuinely looked forward to the next dish as it was amazing. When it was time for dessert, they actually added a little candle for the birthday guest, which was super sweet. The actual dessert was so delicious. It was a matcha ice cream with fruit, mochi, and red beans, and I finished every bite. The chef cracked a lot of jokes with us as well, and I can honestly say I've never been to any place where the service and food are such high quality. I feel as though it's easily worth the price, and would love to come back every season just to try out the menu as it rotates. read more

Very specialized and hard to get in but worth the wait. Small in size but big in experience and satisfaction

Highly recommend this place for date night or a quiet dinner. It's a small restaurant with limited seating, so make reservations in advance. It's definitely quiet so probably not a good place for a large rowdy group. They have 2 prefix menu option; my husband and I chose the $175 for our date night. You are served 10 courses each and they are quiet filling. Their sushi cuts change daily; they are high quality and fresh fish and everything was delicious. They take pride in their food presentation and our server explained what everything was from or menu. She was amazing by the way. All staff was very kind. We'll definitely returning. read more

FAKE REVIEWS! I came to this restaurant for the omakase after reading the great reviews. It was $450 for two people, which is normal for great sushi, but it was the most underwhelming sushi experience I've ever had. The sushi is pretty bad, I wouldn't recommend spending your time and money here. read more

Would love to come back here and try the premium menu and get the full experience if I come back again. If able I would def try to opt for the bar next time for the full experience. The service was stellar and food was delicious. The ingredients used defined seemed fresh and the ambiance was very quaint and clean. Most definitely more ideal for small parties of no more than 4 people max I would say. Since it is reservation only, highly suggest booking in advance if you decide to make it out and try the Omakase here! read more

Kabuto - menu for May/2022. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

My review is going to be extremely critical based on the fact of the price range. Kabuto is a well known for its omakase experience. To make a reservation use the Resy app. I was able to get a reservation within a couple days using the app but it is highly recommended to do it well in advance. Overall, the service was good. Everyone was very attentive as we had table service and not sitting at the bar. I was disappointed with the server who wasn't able to pronounce some of the fish we were being serviced. Again, I'm being very critical as normally severs at sushi restaurants are tested for their knowledge of the menu. The presentation was good and the quality of the fish was good. Not great but good. The nigiri was lacking of wasabi. A very small amount was applied. Yes, I did take it apart because again for me at this level the details are important. I want to make this review useful for those who are very particular of sushi. Personally, the overall experience was good, service was good, quality of the food was good. I'm only taking me star away due to the fact at the price range I've had better in comparison. I still recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great night out. read more

I went to give this restaurant a try when I visited Vegas because I always love omakase. If you are into Japanese Omakase, then this is the place. Very authentic, professional, and ingredient was on point. Food: it's a set omakase course. The best part is you don't get to pick what you want to order. I love the layout of the appetizers especially for omakase food appearance is very important. The ingredient was just like I was eating in Japan, fish was very fresh. They do not cut cost and the chefs are very professional in terms of making the sushi in front of you and explaining each dish. Price: there are two price courses you can pick from, one is $125 and one is $175, definitely get the $175 one it's worth it! The price does not include gratitude. For the amount of course and the food quality, Kabuto definitely set a very good price point. Just remember to book in advance because this place is hard to get a reservation! read more

Literally the best sushi experience we've ever had. Waiters are amazing, chefs are experienced, sushi is high quality, and we walked away so full we weren't able to finish everything there was so much to try with the 175 option. Amazing and I will be back when I'm in Vegas again next year!!! read more

I went here after hearing raving reviews, but I was a bit disappointed. I had the $175 menu, and while it was overall good, I wouldn't say it worth it. Some of the things that were really amazing were: the lychee sorbet, the grilled shrimp, the snow crab, and the sweet omelette. The rest of the dishes I had, including the sushi and sashimi, were decent, but they weren't really amazing. One of my favorite Japanese restaurants, Sushi Yasuda in NYC, also offers an Omakase for $175. Perhaps I am spoiled after eating there, but that was well worth the price, whereas this place... well, I think that although the food is here is alright and some items are even quite good, for the price I was a a bit disappointed. read more

SUSHI: Hands down one of the best places I've had omakase where the quality and quantity meets the price. I always make a reservation for this place whenever I visit LV. (TIP: Remember to confirm your reservation!) Every single piece is crafted beautifully and tastes amazing. AMBIANCE: Very tidy and clean. It's quiet with gentle music in the background so it's not rowdy at all! It clears your mind to actually enjoy the food. SERVICE: Staff are all very attentive and the sushi chef is observant of your likes and dislikes throughout the meal as they curate each piece for you. There's more seating here now compared to pandemic times. read more

Kabuto - Sushi Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Its official. This is my "Go to" omakase experience in Vegas. This definitely sits near the top of many notable places I have tried throughout the country and brings a wave of nostalgia to all those eats in japan in Tsukiji and proper places. This joint is a Edomae Omakase spot which means multiple single set dishes and is focused on marrying and blending many different flavors to maximize the flavors of the fish. The joint (like many others) have two slots per night and you have to reserve on RESY in advance to score a seat. This spot is in a plaza with many restaurants and I have actually never noticed it given its subtle décor and entranceway. Parking is a bit tight if you go during the peak hours but thankfully I was in the first seating so it was easy to nab a spot. The service was extremely friendly from the entrance and throughout the meal. The various chefs each had their personalities and the bar experience of watching them all at work was of course a delight. There are two menus for each seating ($120 and $175 per person option) and there are some nuances (including a grilled item) and different preparations of a few of the courses. The preparation for every single dish really accentuated each of the flavors. I was thoroughly impressed. The quality of the fish was top notch and definitely the best I have had in vegas hands down. The first entrée had preparations of scallop/tuna/crab and all of it phenomenal. The presentation was on point. The seabass was made really well and the supplemental ingredients were perfect complimentary. Each of the fish cuts were extremely fresh and loved the rice that they used as it was definitely authentic. The Uni and ikura were amazingly delicious. When you order a la carte, the uni serving is extremely generous. I was extremely impressed throughout the meal and know that this will definitely be in the rotation. You definitely will walk out full and impressed. One thing to note no one asked about allergies? For us it wasn't a problem but maybe worth stating upfront if you have any allergies. Honestly best omakase in vegas no doubt and definitely a worthy contender even on the national stage and better than even some of the SF and NYC places I have been to. Don't sleep on the experience. read more

Reservations must be made a whole In advance, and for good reason. Space is limited and the service and experience were superb. We sat at the bar in front of the chefs and were treated with a great display of artistic talent with the sushi preparation, friendly conversation about the food and as for the food itself? It was amazing. The fish was so fresh it felt like they just caught it. The different arrangements and plates were wonderfully crafted and the flavors perfect. If you are a foodie and love a culinary experience then you won't want to miss this place. Get a spot as soon as you can! read more

From such an unassuming exterior (I almost missed the entrance) comes an amazing food experience. The omakase here really is more of an experience than just a meal. I was craving an omakase (Japanese set-course-meal) since I haven't been able to go to Japan for so long, and this place delivers. FYI- they seem to be pretty strict about their seating schedule, so definitely don't be late. Pros: The overall experience was really well thought out. The food and each course transition was perfectly timed. The dishes themselves were beautiful to look at. The restaurant was so sparsely decorated that the emptiness and the quiet of the restaurant made me feel at peace. Between the relaxing interior and the beautiful food I almost forgot that I was eating so much amazing food. Probably not a good place to go for a big party, but possibly the best place for an intimate night out or a date. Cons: I would not expect to find this really elegant restaurant in the strip mall that it's in, but it was nice having a bubble tea place to walk to. I'm not sure if this is the best sushi restaurant in Vegas, but it definitely might be the best omakase in town. read more

This place is definitely one of the best Omakase I've encountered. I went with the Yoroi Omakase, and it certainly did not disappoint. The good: Everything was delicious! After you finish your omakase course, my waitress, Chikihari, came and asked if there's anything else I wanted and gave me a piece of paper of all the items on their menu. You have the option to select additional items you want to eat, and I opted to order an additional uni, toro, and jellyfish nigiri. The bad: Nothing was bad at all! Overall, would definitely come back to dine here! Everything tasted so fresh, and the way the chef each dish was eloquent and perfection. read more

My husband and I came here for the first time last year for our honeymoon and just returned for our anniversary. Immaculate both times. Very kind and pleasant waitstaff, the atmosphere is super tranquil and does a great job of making you forget you're sitting in a strip mall in Chinatown, and of course the food was delicious. Our first time here it was so quiet and hushed that our dinner felt sacred, which was lovely in its own way. This time around we were seated with the only Caucasian sushi chef there (sorry, didn't get his name, but he was there Wed 9/24 - I'm sure he knows who he is), and shoutout to him as he was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable and he was also not afraid to engage us in a little small talk as he was plating our courses. It was really pleasant for us to get to converse with him and to hear his pointers about the nigiri, which took out any guesswork about what we were eating. This place also knows how to do dessert - perfectly small portions, not too sweet, just right. I'm sure any other omakase in Vegas or LA would charge highway robbery for a comparable experience. Kabuto is a must for us anytime we come into town. Rooting for them and the chefs and staff there to enjoy good business for a long time. read more

I've been here about 6-7 times and it never disappoints. Omakase menu is always slightly changing. Very small restaurant that is always booked so it's best you plan ahead and you can make the reservations online now. The service is always great and the restaurant is very clean. They have 2 different omakase menus and you can order al a carte after if you're still hungry. Definitely recommend 10/10! read more

A must try! From the service to the presentation of each course. They even plated and served my hubbys food based on him being left handed! Their attention to detail was out of the ordinary. Not only was the service superb but the selection of courses and fish were bomb! And we left pretty stuffed! This omakase included 12 pieces of nigiri also... we also did the sake pairing which was a nice touch. If your thinking about it, it's worth all of the $175 spent! read more

My husband and my first omakase experience was here at Kabuto for our first dating anniversary and been obsessed since! Tried a few other omakases and Kabuto still remains to be our absolute favorite! Love the traditional edomae experience. From the appetizers, grilled dishes, NIGIRI, handrolls, to the dessert, every single bite is AMAZING! I love how they have some unique cuts of fish I don't see in other places. The JABARA otoro which comes from the underbelly of the fish is one of the best bites I've had EVER in my life honestly. Would come back here again and again if our budget allows haha Make sure to make your reservation over a month in advance and sit at the bar for the best experience! read more

Such a beautiful culinary experience! We snagged a last-minute reservation for a Thursday night. The restaurant is on the same block as Raku but the ambience here is bright and cheery. We sat at the bar and ordered two omakase plus a few a la carte nigiris. All the staff are Japanese and very friendly. Like other Yelpers, I recommend going with the first omakase because you get 10 nigiris, more so than the next tier up. The nigiris here are the best I've ever had, with the perfect combination of bite-size fresh fish and warm sushi rice. Our sushi chef wouldn't make the next nigiri until we finish the one on our plate, just so he can ensure everything stays super fresh. A lot of care also went into the condiments: the imported wasabi added a bit of sweetness to the fish, and the ginger was tangy and fresh. Everything was designed to complement each other and I was hard pressed to find any flaws at all with this amazing experience. read more

The best omakase I have tried so far. The restaurant is small and lovely, which made the dining experience intimate and nice. All the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I could feel all the works the chefs put behind each dish. They would smile happily if the customers liked the food. I especially enjoyed the appetizer with yellow tail sashimi, and the warm dish with scallops and edamame in the soup. The dessert was a trio plate with classical matcha ice cream, red bean paste, and mochi. I got super full after all the eight courses on the Kabuto menu. Compared with other omakase places, this is a great price with lots of high-quality food. We also got the sake pairing and it was totally worth it. I loved all their sake choices with clear and smooth tastes. If you don't want to drink too much, I highly recommend to share one pairing with your partner. The restaurant only has limited seats, so I recommend to reserve as early as possible. If you sit in the bar, you can watch the chefs make the dishes, which is another great experience besides the food. I will definitely visit this place again in the future when visiting Vegas! read more

I've been to many Omkase places but by far this place is my favorite. This place only offers two courses, $120 and $175 courses (I visited on 9/20/2023). The a la carte menu is given to you after you finish nigiri course so you could order additional pieces. So keep in mind you can't to a la carte without ordering Omakase. It was my first time so I ordered $120 course and ordered additional fatty toro. Everything was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. I already booked my next reservation to try $175 course. Highly recommended! read more
