Good Food and Service, Strange Experience I made a reservation for two for a Sunday night. After I made the reservation I received texts asking me to confirm. We are all used to that so I did. Then there was a follow up text. Do you want the $120 per person or the $175 per person? I thought this was very strange. This is the kind of thing you decide at the restaurant, not on the fly when you make the res. I looked on the website and there was no detail about what would be served and the differences between the two options (other than an added course in the $175). I did not make a choice. When we arrived on time our seats were not yet ready and so we were escorted to a couple of chairs two feet from the door to the restroom. The waitress pressed -- which would you like? I said I did not know because I did not know what they were serving. She tried to be helpful, but she said the items on each menu are different but she could not tell us what was on each. That is just plain bizarre, even for omakase. Each menu had Uni we were told. I am a fan of SB Uni but not Hokkaido Uni. I was afraid for example that the more expensive menu would feature the more expensive Hokkaido Uni even though I like SB better. But since the servers would not tell us anything we had to order blind. I was seriously annoyed. We almost left without ordering. If they want to keep the menu secret, just offer one menu. Making people choose with no information is super annoying. It invites an assumption that more expensive is better. That is not necessarily true. More expensive often is just more expensive. We opted for the $175/pp. it did feature Hokkaido Uni while the other menu turned out to have SB. I thought no prob I'll just order a la carte. Nope, they ran out of SB (but not Hokkaido). The service was otherwise very good, the sushi chef in front of us was nice, and the fish was high quality. Not the best I have ever had, but definitely way above what you get in regular sushi spots. The edomae part of the restaurant description is puzzling to me. Edomae used to mean local Tokyo fish preserved in local custom ways. I did not see evidence of that in the meal so I was confused. About $650 for two including sake and good tip. There must be a better omakase sushi experience in Las Vegas. read more

I honestly don't even want to leave a review because it will make it harder to book a dinner reservation for next time. I don't use this word often, but phenomenal would be applicable here. The ambiance, service, food....everything was spectacular. The attention to detail blew me away. Not just from the food, but even how the chefs and servers noticed immediately that I was left handed, so my utensils and even the direction of the nigiris on my plate were opposite of the rest of my party. I haven't had service like that since being in Japan. I didnt even take photos because I think it will take away from the whole experience, so all I'm saying is do it. And do the higher priced onakase. You won't regret it. read more

Food was amazing. Service was excellent. Ambiance was nice, clean and intimate. Brought my wife for her 30th birthday celebration and it was the greatest experience we've had for a date night. Would HIGHLY recommend and it was worth every single penny. Can't wait to go again! read more

Kabuto - Appetizer - Sushi Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Kabuto on Thursday evening. A tremendous meal made even better by the exquisite service and wonderful space. Quality: The only thing that could have been better about my meal at Kabuto was getting to sit at the bar. However, with a larger group, a table was expected. We went with the larger Kabuto Omakase along with a Sake Pairing. The omakase combines all sorts of elements, so expect much more than nigiri, but the nigiri is definitely the highlight. The selection of fatty tuna nigiri was my favorite aspect of the evening. Quantity: A large meal that sneaks up on you. Value: $175 for the Kabuto Omakase. $75 for a Sake Pairing. Ambiance: Kabuto is located in the Chinatown area of Las Vegas. It is very unassuming outside, appearing to just be another business in a long strip mall. Inside it is a peaceful oasis, with simplistic decor, lovely relaxing music, and a beautiful aroma. Expect quiet instrumental music to allow your conversation and food to take over the experience. Crowd: Reservations are tough to snag, but absolutely worth it. Service: Excellent servers, beautiful presentation, and perfect pacing. Parking: Shared parking lot. read more

I would pay $500 for this meal. It changed my life. I look forward to telling you about it... Yes -- This restaurant is OFF THE STRIP. Yes -- This restaurant requires a reservation because of how busy they can be. Yes-- This restaurant is expensive, but it will change how you look at sushi. Now that we got the basics covered... THE RESTAURANT -------------------------- The restaurant maybe seats 24 people at most, they have tables, but there is almost no point of going unless you are seated at the sushi bar. Almost every party at the sushi bar got their own sushi chef. This sushi chef will help determine the order of which your sushi will come out to pace your palette accordingly. Ours was an expert. THE FOOD ----------------- When it comes to sushi, most people don't know that the quality and treatment of the rice is almost as important as the quality and the treatment of the fish. Its hard to imagine tasting better rice or fish. All of the fish was extraordinary. Buttery, smooth, soft, luscious, rich, pick your adjective, it doesn't matter, some of the TORO I ate was some of the sexiest, most delicious bites of food I have ever had in my life. SERVICE ----------------- Immaculate. Not much more needs to be said. Michelin star quality. RECOMMENDATIONS ------------------------------ Be prepared to spend over $100 per person and order every cut of TORO they have, which is four or five! I guarantee you will most likely never try anything that tastes like this again. My favorites were the Hagashi Toro, and Yamashito Toro. Also the Iced Green Tea is a must, it is the most refreshing drink you will ever taste. Go. But don't tell too many people, because its too good, and the more people who try it, the busier they will be, the harder it will be for us to get back in. NOTES ------------- I am omitting some of the incredible detail, like the quality of their handmade soy sauces and actual wasabi they use as opposed to the fake wasabi many lower grade sushi restaurants use. Final Note. Expect Excellence. You won't be let down. read more

Top notch food, omakase with a wonderful sake pairing. Best sushi we tried in Vegas. The service was exceptional too.

One of the best Japanese sushi restaurants in Las Vegas. An Outstanding omakase experience!!!! If you want a private, luxury and amazing Omakase, this is the place!! An authentic Japanese restaurant with perfectly prepared sushi rice, which is hard to find outside of Japan. The temperature of fish is also perfect. I will definitely come back here. Parking is terrible. Be prepared to spend extra time finding a parking spot. read more

THEY ARE PAYING PEOPLE TO WRITE 5 Star REVIEWS. Don't believe me? Ask the locals if they've ever heard of this "5 Star" Sushi Restaurant that seems to appear #1 on multiple top hit search engines. My Lyft driver said he not once has taken someone here. Showed up 30 min early for my Reservation and the door was locked. People inside were dining. No instructions on the door to wait and no one would come to the door to tell us what to do. Want more proof this place is a scam? Trying calling their listed number and talking to someone. In a very run down part of town - look at the Photos - right next to a Brothel Massage and other shady businesses in a strip mall where it feels like you'll be mugged any minute. We had no other choice but to leave and find a better place. They take your credit card when you make the Reservation so they can then charge you $100 when you can't show up. Remember the door is locked no one answers - they count on you leaving. Quite the scam. read more

Food: - I got the 195?pp holiday omakase - All the appetizers were really delicious! I enjoyed them a lot especially the salmon, chawanmushi, grilled lobster - What was kind of surprising was that for first 5 nigiri pieces..the fish was served cold, which I have never experienced before at a high-end omakase place. My personal preference is that they're served closer to room temperature so you can taste the fish better. And as a result, most of the first 5 pieces were just really bland and it was harder to taste the flavor. This might be a small detail but for how much you're paying, it left me feeling a little disappointed - The next 5 pieces and tuna roll were served at room temperature, which were great - Dessert was really delicious, loved the yatsuhashi Service: - Service was great and good attention to detail Ambiance: - Very traditional and formal vibe Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but I probably wouldn't go back read more

Let me start by saying that I'm a very picky omakase eater. Perhaps, that is an understatement. Having tried the 2 most expensive restaurants in America (MASA in NYC and Urasawa in Beverly Hills) and countless omakases around the world, this place took me by surprise. Let me start by saying that the way the itamae prepares the food reminds me of traditional Japanese style of sushi. They were prepared delicately and delectably. No sauce overpowered the fish, or took away the freshness of the fish. Also, kudos to make good gyoku aka tamagoyaki, a sweet omelette that is hard to make fluffy. While I think Urasawa still makes the best tamago in America, Kabuto can take the second place in my heart. A forgotten art which they manage to do so beautifully. Go for the Kabuto Omakase, priced at $120 which is cheap compared to masa and urasawa. I ordered extra food even though I was extremely full because it was that good. Since the aburi otoro wasn't in the list, I had to give it a try. And I also ordered extra ezo bafun uni that was flew in fresh from Japan. Not those santa babara uni crap that we get in most restaurants in the U.S. The only 2 things they can improve on is the rice and the shrimp cake in the grilled selection. That shrimp cake was the only dish I hated. I should also point out that they use freshly grated wasabi here at Kabuto which they mentioned was flown in from Japan. A huge must for me when I have omakase. The quality of this sushi can't even be compared to the "famed" but overly priced Nobu or Sushi Roku on the strip. Both of which I've tried in Vegas and in LA, and both of which were terribly disappointing. So, don't even bother going to Nobu or Roku when you can have Kabuto. Even comparing omakase to the above average/acceptable omakase places in LA such as Yamakase, Ootoro or Ken's Japanese Restaurant, Kabuto puts them to shame. While their location is not in a fancy location, it's cosy and minimalistically decorated. I love it. It is weird that they serve the miso soup at the end, but I can see why - to wash down your food after being stuffed with food. I'm going to make it a point to go to Kabuto every time i'm in Vegas in the future. read more

Do I think the quality of the food is high? Yes. Do I think the service was awesome? Yes. Did everything taste good? Absolutely. Do I think the meal as a whole was worth what I paid? Not really. I don't regret going because it was a fun and memorable experience with family, and it was a great meal. We were quite full at the end. But I don't think the food was so vastly superior to other less costly options to justify going here again. If you're really into sake, then feel free to choose the $70 add-on for the sake pairings. But for a handful of small tastes, it's quite a steep cost. read more

The best sushi in Las Vegas! What an amazing experience. The fish was super fresh and simply delicious. The sushi chefs are friendly, informative and ever so professional. It's truly a one of a kind experience. The decor, the service and the food make you feel like you've just jumped across the globe and landed in Japan. I recommend this place to any sushi lover during their trip to Vegas. I might have to say this is the best sushi I've had anywhere in the United States. Not even kidding. Don't forget to make a reservation because seating is very limited as are most tradition omakase restaurants. read more

Ever since we know this place, we come here every time we come to Vegas. A small, cozy vibe with very minimum decor are true Japanese home vibe. The omasake menu wowed us every time. A true hidden gem! read more

We dined at Kabuto on Sunday. What a fantastic experience! The nigiri course was the star of the show...didn't get pics of the nigiri because we were so excited for each bite. The fish is flown in from Japan each day and the quality shows. The service was outstanding and represented the price of $175 pp for the "Kabuto" menu. We also added the $68 pp sake pairing which was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended for a special night out, but reservations are difficult to get. read more

Very excited to try this place & had high hopes due to the raving reviews but it's definitely not what I expected (food wise). When you walk into the restaurant, the servers and all the chefs are Japanese. It is super clean and well lit. Everything felt very authentic, like you were in Japan. Moving on to the food- for $175 omakase, it's of decent value because they give you ALOT of food but the quality of the fish is ... not good. First of all, nothing served is flown in from Japan (At least it doesn't taste like that). I recall seeing on their menu that their tuna is from Mexico which was surprising for the price they charge. If you've had omakase in either nyc or california, you won't be impressed with the nigiri served here. The fish doesn't taste fresh. Maybe it was an off night? My boyfriend felt sick after the appetizer course. He's very sensitive to "fishy" foods and good fish shouldn't taste "fishy". He couldn't even eat his nigiri but luckily they were nice enough to pack it to go for us. We went to Raku in the same plaza two days later & their sashimi specials from Japan tasted 1000000x better. Their service however is impeccable. Everyone was so sweet & accommodating - from us running a little late due to Uber problems and my boyfriend not feeling well. The female server was soooo sweet and the chefs were very nice. They deserve 10 stars for service alone. All in all, not impressed after spending $500 after tip & tax for two people... sadly wont be returning. read more

Food - Great fish. Enjoy every course. Only thing I am not a big fan of is the roe (maybe quail egg would do the trick for me). They served a grilled bronzino(?) which might have been the best piece of fish I've ever eaten Service -Friendly, fast & informative Overall: Visited 2x. First time there was a flat $100 Omakase, which was probably my favorite sushi experience of all time. The next I ordered the $175 option and I didn't feel any extra value was added. No bronzino either :_( . Still, Kabuto is great and I am sure I'll be back in 2022! read more

Kabuto is a very highly recommended, rated and esteemed Edo Style Sushi establishment just off the Vegas strip. I went with the Omakase set, which includes nigiri, sashimi, cooked fish, a hand roll and miso soup. The first item on the omakase set was a tiny glass of sake with lots of crushed ice, which is made in house. It is very sweet like a dessert. Mild with a slight plum vinegar note, reminiscent umeboshi. The second dish seemed to be a seasonal inspiration with nicely selection vegetables, peapod, radish a cucumber pickled in a fish liver and seaweed broth. Some lean tuna sashimi accompanied the dish. Third up was the Sashimi platter. Now while the fish quality is good, the texture is not the best of the best. Soft, but with a slightly stiff quality. The distinct flavor of each cut of fish was also missing. Fourth up was the grilled fish platter. Collar bone. Crab salad. Seared tuna. I enjoyed this very much. Simple and tasty. The centerpiece, uni clam was the highlight. Very buttery. After this was the nigiri portion of the meal. I didn't take detailed tasting notes because there isn't much to say. But, overall I found the fish to be good quality but lacked superior texture and had a dull flavor. The ikura and uni especially had a slightly bitter aftertaste. I also found the rice was sometimes not sticking to the fish properly and lacked its own character. I was honestly surprised at the rice quality, a bit disappointing. I will say that there were several standouts for nigiri Heart shelled clam-Chewy. Tasting mostly the hot rice on this. Pike--reminiscent of Mackeral. Oily. Scallion. Sauce. Lean tuna- Good texture and flavor. Miso Soup at the conclusion of the Omakase was pretty good, nothing out of the ordinary for a high-class Omakase. I opted for the mushroom version while my friend for the shrimp version. Dessert: The cheesecake was very light, smooth creamy texture with a subtle taste, Mixed berry sauce soft crust was a delightful end tot he meal. Conclusion: If you're in Vegas and have a craving for an authentic Omakase experience this is a good option, perhaps your best option. read more

Very good, but not great. We got the $175 course with sake pairing for an extra $68 each. The fish is good and high quality, but the dishes didn't have that "wow" factor if you're looking for that extra touch of creativity. No special sauces or toppings. If you're particular about what fish you like, opt for the $120 course and just add on the items you like from their menu. I wish I would have known that before hand. The $175 menu has a good amount of food, (we were too full to finish 2 courses which was unfortunate because that's when the better fish was served) but a lot of the fish was repetitive. I also got several BONES in my fish. A mistake I've never had from any omakase place. I didn't take a picture of the first 2 and let it slide, but I did take a picture of the 3rd one, because wtf. Also they ask what the occasion is, but they don't do anything special or different for it, so I don't see the point. We were there for a birthday and I had it noted, but it wasn't recognized. If you're going for a special occasion, don't expect them to do anything extra. read more

Two words: absolutely amazing. I freaking love this place, the food was delicious, the service was impeccable and the price was pretty reasonable for an omakase meal. We opted for the $80 omakase course, I really wanted to do the $120 one, but really didn't think I can finish that much food. I was right, I was incredibly stuffed at the end of the meal. For the $80 course, you get aperitif sake, amuse, 4 kinds of sashimi, 3 grill varieties, 8 piece of nigiri, a hand roll, miso soup and dessert. Let's start with the aperitif sake, it was super light, I think only 4% alcohol, slightly sweet, very refreshing and a perfect way to start the meal. My husband wanted to order a carafe of it, but I've decided to opt for a carafe of Nanbubijin instead, which was the perfect sake to accompany our ensuing meal. I won't bore you by listing all of the courses, but will just highlight some of my favorites. Out of the four different kind of sashimi, the oyster was hand's down the best piece, it was lightly seasoned and tasted extremely fresh, as if it was plucked right out of the sea. With regard to nigiri, I was obsessed with the itoyori bream, which I've never had before. It was heaven on Earth, the beautiful piece of fish was lightly brushed with a sauce and lime shaving. I loved it so much that I've asked for an additional piece, which was a bargain at an additional $5. The Japanese mackerel was a close second. My least favorite course was the miso soup, which had the option of bone-in fish or mushroom. We tried one of each and neither was something to write home about. The presentation of the courses was beautiful, I loved the small bowl that served the ikura. There was an average of one sushi chef per two guests at the bar, which meant you got undivided attention, while the servers appeared to have an average of 4 guests each. The service was prompt but unobtrusive. Overall, it was a great dining experience, it was one of my favorite meals out of our one week trip to CA and LV. In a city with numerous dining options, I feel like Kabuto wins for both quality and value. read more

Absolutely one of the best and most memorable meals we had (much better than Raku's omakase). We had the Kabuto omakase, the final bill came to about $280 for two, and we had an extra house sake and beer. The amount of food was good, not too much and not too little, every course has generous portions. I don't feel they skimped very much. Huge variety of fish, some I've never heard or tried before. Bring people who are adventurous eaters who will eat what they're served.. you don't want to be explaining what milt is in the middle of dinner. Service was excellent, our server was personable, took time to explain each fish and the region it came from, and was very attentive yet not obstructive. Fantastic! Make sure to reserve early! They will call at 3pm that same day of your reservation to confirm, so keep your phone with you. Absolutely worth the price, I'll come again and again. Huge fan! read more

We loooove, love, love, love sushi. And this little restaurant does it right. Make a reservation, sit down at the sushi bar, and order their omakase. We got the Kabuto omakase at 120/person. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for. The fish selection is amazing. A few we've never heard of before. Extremely fresh fish and most importantly, very well made rice. Chef told us their rice is mixed with 3 different vinegars. You can tell this rice is made with extra attention. The service is excellent. Very attentive staff who refill your water, your sake cup, without you ever asking. She even changed out my green tea cup because it wasn't hot anymore, whaaat?? Never had this happen, and I am certainly not complaining! Not only are their fish and rice excellent, but their dessert is well worth mentioning too. We had their cheesecake and a green tea mousse, came with the omakase. Both very tasty and not too sweet. A perfect end to the meal. It was also placed on a nice plate with cute origami decorations for our anniversary. Thank you!! We'll surely come back again. read more

We always enjoy and look forward to their service, and impecable presentation of EDOMAE SUSHI on every visit. read more

My partner happened to come across this amazing sushi omakase place as we planned our Vegas trip. I saw that reservations open up a month in advance, and I was ON it. I woke up right at midnight pacific time to book that resy! :) We had a 7:45pm reservation on a Friday evening - we headed there straight from the airport, as our flight had been delayed. We were seated a bit late, as the previous party was still dining when we arrived. It took a while for our first few dishes to come out, but from the third course onwards, the pace picked up a bit and we were on a ~roll~! I immediately noticed the casual, laid-back feel of the restaurant. Clean interior design with bright lights and minimal decor. The atmosphere reminded me of sushi restaurants I'd been to in Japan. Our omakase was as follows: Drink: We opted for the bottle of Monchhof riesling - it was on the sweet side. We wanted a more dry wine, but we still enjoyed our drink! 1. Amase: Smoked salmon + avocado paste + yuzu I love avocado, so this was a strong start to the menu! Yuzu citrus gives it that extra kick! Can't go wrong with salmon. 2. Warm dish: Japanese sea bass + snap peas, fava beans I liked the crunchy little pieces on top of the fish! The soup was a little gelatin-y, which I enjoyed. Clean taste on the fish! 3. Sashimi: Tuna (?), shrimp, octopus Loved the octopus - juicy and not too chewy. Shrimp was good too! I'm actually not sure what fish it was, but I didn't really like the tuna-looking fish, as it had too strong of a flavor. 4. Grill: Tuna, daikon, branzino + miso paste Branzino was the winner on this plate. I had to take off some of the miso paste, but still delicious. I love daikon! 5. & 6. Nigiri: - first plate: Hokkaido hotate, kanpachi, akami, red rock cod, red snapper - second plate: ikura, uni, tamago, chu-toro, o-toro, ishi-tai, jack mackerel - Of the first plate, I enjoyed 1) scallop 2) akami 3) red rock cod 4) red snapper 5) kanpachi, in that order. Of the second plate, I enjoyed 1) o-toro, 2) uni 3) chu-toro 4) ikura 5) tamago 6) jack mackerel 7) ishi-tai A la carte add-ons: 2 piece kaki (oysters), kamashita-toro We didn't enjoy the oysters very much - I think they had too much garnish on top. The kamashita-toro exceeded my expectations, though! It was SOOO fatty, like... You don't even know, just gotta try it! 7. Handroll: negitoro Always love a good negitoro handroll!!! 8. Soup: miso Miso soup was okay at best... We had a choice of shrimp head or mushroom miso, and we opted for the shrimp. It didn't add as much flavor as we'd expected. I ate the shrimp head and liked it! 9. Dessert: matcha ice cream + mochi balls + red bean + fruits (apple, strawberry slices), matcha tea LOVED dessert. It's all my favorites in one!!! And went well with that warm tea! All in all, this is a great deal (100 pp for the omakase) and great quality fish! I would definitely recommend this place for those who appreciate quality sushi! read more

4.5 stars First time having omakase in Las Vegas, and it was a great one. Was it the best I've ever had? Naahh. The best I've had up to date is still Sushi Zo in Los Angeles. Simple and minimalist, Kabuto specializes in nigiri/edomae sushi. Don't come here expecting to order some baked scallop, tiger dragon roll. Sushi-mon is a few miles away for that kind of stuff. (Same owners btw!) Seating is very limited as the entire restaurant is just one sushi bar counter and 3-4 tables so make your reservations in advance. Kabuto offers three omakase options at $48, $80, and $120, and you can even order nigiri sushi by the piece. A few a la carte items are also available on their limited menu. My wife and I opted for the $48 omakase which includes aperitif sake, amuse, 10 pieces of nigiri, a handroll, and dessert. We ended up spending about $200 for the two of us adding a glass of wine, an order of the 5 star sashimi, and a few additional pieces of nigiri. I will highlight some of the items: Aperitif sake- Homemade fuji (imported from Japan) apple sake, and it was a great way to start the meal. Light (2% alcohol) yet invigorating. Really good! Amuse- mozuku topped with aoyagi (orange clam), aori-ika (king squid), and Japanese okra. This dish was super light and cleansing to the palate. The aori-ika had amazing texture. Ika is normally really chewy, but the aori-ika was so soft. It melted in my mouth! Amazing. 5 star sashimi- more along the lines of 4 star sashimi. Included blue fin tuna, halibut, king squid, scallop, and spanish mackerel. The king squid was really good once again, and the scallop was really tender and flavorful with hints of yuzu. Spanish mackerel was dry. Ma-aji nigiri (jack mackerel)- topped with citrus soy sauce and grated scallions. Very tasty with medium oily texture. The scallions really brought out the sweetness in this fish. Akami nigiri (blue fin tuna) from Spain- robust, rich in flavor, like a rare steak, drizzled in their house made soy sauce. I really enjoyed this blue fin nigiri. Chu toro (medium fatty tuna) nigiri- sooo good. Creamy, soft, melted in the mouth. Ezo-bafun uni- sweet Japanese sea urchin. The best uni I've ever tasted! It was soooo sweet and also really creamy. Ikura (salmon roe)- served sashimi style, without rice nor seaweed. Sweet and savory with a little bit of spice from the wasabi. I could eat these eggs for breakfast every day! Fukko (baby Japanese seabass)- a bit chewy and firm but retained a nice sweet flavor. Toro handroll- this was the last item before the dessert. The combination of the warm sushi rice, seaweed, and toro was just mmmm orgasmic. Definitely one of the stars of the night. For dessert, we concluded with a green tea roll cake and raspberry sorbet. The roll cake was really soft and moist, not too sweet, and the raspberry sorbet was super refreshing. The dessert was definitely the cherry on top to an excellent meal. Service was flawless as you would expect from a fine-dining sushi joint like this. The waitresses stuck to us like white on rice. Our drinks were never empty, and our plates were constantly being bussed one after another. Vegas is saturated with ayce sushi joints, and after eating at several of them, they all start tasting the same. For those who prefer quality over quantity or want to experience sushi at some of its finest, Kabuto is the spot you are looking for. read more

Best sushi experience I have had by far! And it is exactly that--an experience. This place is very small, about two tables and maybe 2-3 bar spots for different parties. You need a reservation to dine here and they go fast so jump on their website whenever you decide you're coming to Vegas. I came here for my birthday and the chef here was the biggest sweetheart. He sang happy birthday to me and put a candle on my dessert. He also made a yuzu cheesecake on the menu that was to die for! With each course you get, you will be amazed. The omakase is a little expensive but extremely worth it. (Actually not expensive if you're used to eating sushi. And a lot cheaper than other omakase prices). When it comes to sushi, I have a big appetite. There were so many courses and so many individual pieces that I was STUFFED. I eventually had to enjoy my meal tasting style, and give half of each of my bites to my boyfriend. This place is the first time I had raw sweet shrimp and uni. Both are things I don't think I'd normally like, but they were very fresh and great quality. And the service was amazing! Anytime my sake cup emptied, the server (an extremely sweet Japanese girl with tattoos) would come and fill my cup. This restaurant serves with true Japanese hospitality. I rave about this place to anyone who will listen, anyone that loves Japanese food, and anyone going to Vegas. I dream of the day I get to come back here and experience this omakase again! read more

For starters, you may need a reservation one month in advance, so plan ahead. The restaurant is very small. Sushi bar seats 4 couples. From the sushi bar, you will witness the master chefs go to work on some of the most beautiful pieces of fish I have ever seen. The nigiri course is the star of the show, with the option to add extra. Definitely order more nigiri, you won't regret it. Overall, this is an expensive experience for what you get. I have had similar quality sushi in L.A. for less money. Alas, we just don't have many good options in Vegas that aren't AYCE. read more

Kabuto is in an unassuming strip mall but the experience is anything but ordinary. We went for my 40th birthday and I can say that this was some of the most exquisite sushi I've had in my life. This restaurant does not bother with artificial ambience when food this refined is the focal point. No music, brighter lighting, happy tummy! The service was perfect--attentive without hovering. My only advice is to bring a layer because the restaurant is cold (which I didn't mind considering all of the raw fish that really should be kept in a colder environment!) but you'll want to make sure you're comfortable as you're enjoying one of the best Japanese meals you can get in the US. Thanks for such a special experience, KABUTO-Edomae! read more

Called 2-2.5 weeks in advance and was waitlisted. We were called around 3 pm same day and luckily they had a table for us. We opted for the nigiri course which was tasty and fresh. The monkfish liver app was well balanced with a sour element to cut the richness. Came w a sake but it was too sweet so we didn't finish it. Dessert was AMAZING-- very robust green tea ice cream w red bean paste. Highly recommend. Make a res- you won't regret it. 1 hr from start to finish for the nigiri course. read more

If you are a sushi lover you must try out Kabuto! It truly is an amazing hidden gem and is likely one of the top omakase spot in Las Vegas. I highly recommend getting a seat at the sushi bar for an amazing chef show. The sashimi was very fresh and well complimented. It just melts in your mouth (My favorite was definitely the o-toro) The entire 2 hr experience was incredible in terms of both food and service! Couldn't recommend this place more! Be sure to book your reservations ahead of time read more

This place is amazing!!! If you're in Vegas and want to venture off the strip, this is the place! Found this place on yelp trying to get some decent Japanese food (the stuff on the strip is bad and wayyyy overpriced), this came up as a suggestion. It's located in the same shopping center as Raku, another amazing Japanese restaurant. Definitely call and make reservations as they only have about 20 seats total (counter and tables), and try to request for the counter! I saw them turn away at least 3 parties while I was there. They have a couple of omakase options, the more expensive ones including some grilled/cooked items. I went with the cheapest option, which was the Nigiri Omakase that included aperitif sake, appetizer, 10pc nigiri, a handroll, and dessert for $48! Yes...you read that correctly...$48! What a steal. For the same meal, it definitely would have been over $100 in NYC. Everything was delicious, delicate, and of high quality, what else can you ask for :) Most amazing piece was hands down the TAMAGOOOOOOOOO. I sat next to a couple who were also from out of town but loved this restaurant so much last time that they decided to come back. When my tamago came out, they were super excited for me and began to rave about how good it was - DEF WORTH THE HYPE. It comes out steaming hot (which is pretty rare!), and has a subtle sweetness that is just perfect. Make a reso the next time you're in vegas, you won't regret it! read more

Kabuto has the freshest and best quality sashimi in Las Vegas! Reservations in advance are a must because seating is limited and there are only two seatings per night. The prices are steep (pri fixe options of $48, $80, and $120), but you get what you pay for (fresh fish, an intimate setting, and phenomenal service). The menu is limited to pri fixe options, which only vary on how many dishes you want. However, regardless of how many dishes you order, the chefs make sure you leave fully satisfied! The atmosphere is intimate and the close proximity to the chefs allows you to fully appreciate the art of preparing sashimi. I really enjoyed watching the chefs cut the fish and prepare each dish. Eating at Kabuto is not an every-day experience, but it is great for special occasions or a memorable meal. My wife and I enjoyed our first post-wedding dinner date at Kabuto. read more
