We came here on Saturday for my dad's birthday, and this was one of the best omakase experiences we've had! Each dish was presented so nicely and tasted super fresh & flavorful. We also ordered extra nigiri since we wanted to try other fish as well. Luckily, our server recommended we order the extra nigiri after the nigiri course so that we could figure out what we could figure out what we already ate and what we want more of. My personal favorites were the uni and mirugai, as well ad the scallops in the soy bean gravy. The dessert was also super yummy! It was matcha ice cream with 2 diff kinds of mochi, red bean (which I think had some sake in it?). Our server was very friendly and explained each dish very thoroughly to us. I definitely recommend eating here! read more

What a lovely dining experience. I absolutely adore Japanese food. I've had some of the best meals of my life in Japan. I loved the small size of the place - totally reminded me of the little eateries I'd been to in Japan. We were so lucky to be able to get a same day Saturday booking just a couple hours before. Someone must had cancelled last minute because I was told that you always have to book in advance. Pulling up to the location it's in - you'd never expect such a cute and high end place to be in the plaza it's in. The service was great. Our server was so sweet, friendly and kind. We had some nice chats with her. Each plate was always explained to us in detail after each arrived and she made sure to double check food allergies and checked again when the dishes came out to make sure kiwi was only on my husbands dessert and not mine. I really appreciated that. She also double checked with us to see if we were celebrating any special occasion. She asked "birthday? Anniversary? Business?" But no, we just really love good food lol. I imagined that the 2 hour dining allotment seemed excessive but the 9 plates come out at a good pace - shortly after you finish each plate. We never felt rushed. By the time we were done we were pretty shocked that it had been 2 hours. It really didn't feel that long. There is also an extra a-la-carte menu that you can order from in addition to the omakase. I wanted to order from it but we were struggling to final few courses. It was a lot of food. The food....the food was fantastic. The dishes were well thought out, balanced and just beautifully put together. The fish was very fresh. The lobster warm dish was incredible. You wouldn't think one prawn sitting on a plate could be that great - but the prawn on the seasonal grill plate was truly so incredibly delicious. The flavor...and they were cooked perfectly. The hand roll was so delicious. The dessert - absolutely excellent. House made cheesecake. But the anmitsu...the red bean paste with the mochi, fresh berries and the most delicious little scoop of green tea ice cream....brought me right back to my childhood. It was such a delicious treat and the perfect end to the meal. While we don't plan to be back in Vegas, if we were - I would totally come back here. And I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves and appreciates quality, premium sushi, raw fish and fine dining like experiences. If you don't like raw fish, never order nigiri or sashimi or are the type of person that picks the raw fish off your roll, never orders rolls with raw fish, only orders rolls at Japanese restaurants, mostly only goes to AYCE sushi - there's a good chance you won't enjoy this place. read more

Before Kabuto, I thought I had great sushi but after eating there, I clearly hadn't even tried good sushi!! Everything at Kabuto was perfect, from the decor and ambience, which was sleek and Zen-like, to the service, which was attentive but not overbearing. I especially loved our sushi chef, who got so much joy out of watching my partner and I eat! We got the Kabuto omakase and everything was amazing! The biggest highlights for me were the chawanmushi, oyster, yellowtail + caviar starter, the teriyaki shrimp w crispy head as well as the scallop, sweet prawn and aburi toro sushi (honestly 90% of the sushi was fantastic)! Also! The uni was TO DIE FOR. I'm not usually a fan of uni but this was soooo creamy and sweet! The chef said it came from Japan, as opposed to California, which accounted for the difference in taste. Kabuto has two seatings, one at 530pm and one at 745pm. You can sit at the bar - which to me, is the preferred option, since you can watch the sushi maestros at work - or there are a few tables in the restaurant but no matter where you find yourself, it is an intimate dining experience. They have a sake pairing for $68, which is a good deal (since a glass of sake is around $16) but I didn't try it since I had to drive. Speaking of which, parking is free and easy since Kabuto is located in a strip mall. If I ever find myself back in Vegas, I'll definitely make a stop here. read more

Wow, blew me away!! Well worth the price. Reservations: bookings open 30 days in advance. 4 tables and sushi bar. Menu: Omakase only. $120 or $175 (premium ingredients/fish), same number of courses. Allow 2 to 3 hrs. No substitutions. Not gluten free (soy). Food: Beautifully presented and so much food! Generous portions. High quality fish. I could probably have skipped the warm appetizers to eat more sushi. You have the option to order a la carte sushi/sashimi after full menu is served. I can eat a lot but I was stuffed! So good. Will definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend tried to take me here for my birthday but wasn't able to get a last minute reservation. He randomly booked a reservation a few weeks after because he wanted to take me here after hearing about how good it was from his friend. When we got there we were seated at the table and not the bar. Apparently there are specific time slots for bar dining. For the price point, my boyfriend and I both agree that it wasn't really worth it. We had expected this place to be amazing, but it was a bit disappointing. Someone was celebrating their bachelor party there and even bought the whole place a round for sake. Good atmosphere. Overall, food was good. Glad that I tried it once but I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Wow! We had such a great experience here at Kabuto! The service was incredible and the Omakase was SO good! We opted for the sake pairing and enjoyed it so much!!! For the $175 option, you start with a beautiful assorted appetizer and then onto the "warm dish", sashimi, grilled dish, nigiri, hand roll, soup, and then top it off with the dessert trio. I have heard stories where people leave Omakase hungry after, but we were definitely stuffed! It was a lot of food and so worth it! We enjoyed everything from beginning to end! The matcha cheesecake bite was amazing, along with the lychee sorbet! This was our first real Omakase experience and it did not disappoint at all! The ambiance was pretty bright and clean. They also provide warm wet towels to wipe down. If you book the second dinner (7:45 PM), when arriving, you'll have to wait outside for a bit until the first group of dinner finishes. I've also seen a few reviews mentioning they ran late to their reservation and it was fine, and it's true! We were definitely on-time, but a group of gals came about 30 minutes late and yes, they were still seated and served. If you're hesitant, just book! It's so worth it and I'd recommend going with the bigger package and add-on the sake pairing. Enjoy and cheers! read more

We would return in a heartbeat!! It's a bit tricky to find at night since their signage is not lit, but we found it the second time circling around :). There is a parking lot which was full when we arrived for the 5:30 seating, but we snagged a spot when someone pulled out. We were seated at the bar and enjoyed chatting with the chef and watching their handicraft! We went with the $120 Yoroi course menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Dinner was perfectly paced and plentiful. Each morsel was beautifully prepared and delicious! We lived in Japan for thirteen years, and this brought back many memories. Kabuto is a beautiful slice of Japan in the middle of Vegas. read more

Delicious meal with a serene atmosphere. We made a reservation on Resy for the 5:30 pm seating at the bar. The restaurant space is very minimalist with nice nature background sounds. It's always a treat for the eyes to see the variety of plates and presentations. The highlight for me was the nigiri portion of the meal. All the varying textures of the fish was so fun. While it's great to taste the buttery feeling with high quality fish, it doesn't all have to be buttery. It's more interesting when the cuts can still be fantastic without being buttery. I was delighted with the jack mackerel and seaperch. The cuts I was familiar with were executed well like scallops, uni, toro and more. I thoroughly enjoyed the tofu dishes as well. Service was top notch. Oftentimes, I didn't even notice when my hot tea was refilled as I talked to my husband. The pacing of the meal was on point. Once the first course started, I barely noticed the time fly by. Highly recommend!! read more

Unique. Authentic. Delicious. I'm going to keep this review brief. My experience will not be your experience. Dinner is different every night. The seafood is super fresh, and the atmosphere takes me back to a ramen shop in a Tokyo alley. Obviously it's elevated. The quality of fish is outstanding, and the chefs are careful and meticulous. If you want a genuine omakase experience in Las Vegas, this is the spot. If you want rolls filled with cream cheese? Head elsewhere. read more

Got reservations here for a Saturday night and glad we did! It was my first time and we got the $120 set which was the perfect amount of food for me. Though I've been to my fair share of omakase spots, Kabuto stood out with their outstanding service. We were seated immediately upon our arrival and we're even given boxes to put our bags in. We were taken thru each course and service was so attentive. I'm use to an omakase set with some nigiri and maybe a handroll but Kabuto had 2 appetizers, sashimi, nigiri, handroll, soup, and dessert. Having an entire curated course really created a flow with the dining experience. Everything was fresh and all the chefs are so diligent with their prep process, it was so cool to watch from the bar. Overall had a great time and would come back! read more

I'd say this is the baseline of what Vegas omakase should be compared to. Amazing fish and awesome service. I have been here a handful of times over the years and have never had a bad experience. To this day, I have not found better fluke fin in town than I've had here. read more

This spot was recommended to be by a family member who was also a former food writer in Las Vegas. Can't say enough great things about this restaurant. Friendly staff and quality ingredients and fresh fish. Menu was thoughtfully crafted and this was my first Omakase. What an experience. Its so much food for $175 for the premium Omakase. Very unassuming place in Las Vegas Chinatown, parking can be tough since its a busy plaza. Small restaurant but very cozy and clean. Must try this place, see the pics to understand. This was personally a lot of food for me. In hindsight, I probably would've gone with the $120 tasting. I couldn't finish towards the last 3 courses which was 7 pieces nigiri, handroll, soup. I went straight to dessert after picking at the Nigiri. It was delicious but I just couldn't muddle through, disappointing I know! I hope to try another Omakase here next time! read more

**Review for June 25, 2022** [Food] Omakase $175pp (8 courses) - Assorted Appetizers: Starting off this already looks amazing and the flavors really help open your palate with fresh, subtle flavors from the salad and tuna paired with the yummy ponzu sauce. - Warm Dish: Great flavors for what seems to be a warm vegetable dish. The sauce paired well with everything and I even wanted more! - Sashimi: Nice variety of fresh sashimi and oyster. - Seasoned Grilled: Daikon scallop, grilled fish w/ mayo, and the beef were really well seasoned and not overly salty. - Nigiri Premium Selections: Nigiri portion came in 2 parts and I was here for it! I did start getting full after the first part but I absolutely couldn't let anything go to waste. - Handrolls: If I must be nitpicky, I would say the hand roll fell a bit short compared to everything else. Tasted like an average handroll with no additional seasoning so it was a little bland. - Soup: Great way to warm the body and bring the meal to an end with a miso shrimp soup! - Dessert Trio: Fresh fruits and mochi were decent, but the cheesecake was the star of this dish. [Service] - Fast, attentive, friendly [Ambiance] - Upscale, clean, comfortable [Overall] - I would definitely love to come back again when I'm in Vegas! - Everything from the food to the service were spot on (: read more

The literal best experience I have ever had as a Vegas local. The space is small and intimate and you always feel attended to. The service is impeccable. The sake pairings are on point. We took photos of every bottle. The flavors are all unique and the focus is always the fish/seafood/main ingredient. I still dream about the egg custard. Some of these chef's table experiences will just take your money and leave you hungry. Kabuto is not that place. You will leave full and happy. read more

First visit last night with my husband (from Chicago) after we were recommended this place by another Chicagoan and had the BEST omakase experience! The minimalistic/ simplicity theme gave a very clean, elegant yet comfortable atmosphere and we loved it! From the moment we walked in till the last step out the restaurant the staffs took great care of us with their exceptional service. The traditional, authentic style of service that made us feel like we were in Japan again. The way they greeted us, the way they sushi chefs/kitchen chefs presented their food, and the way the staffs delivered their food to us with detailed explanation of what each dishes are. We had the Omakase with 8 courses $175 each and it was definitely worth it . I added the "sake pairing" for $68 with the course which I'm glad I did! I was able to try 6 different sake along with the course; 1 with each course and 2 different ones throughout the first half and second half of "Nigiri Premium Selection." All in all, the experience was amazing and we will definitely return when visiting Las Vegas again For anyone interested in authentic Japanese food and culture, this place is hands down the best place!! Thank you to the chefs and staffs for an incredible experience! read more

Kabuto is something special. Coming at a very reasonable price point ($100 a person for omakase), to me, Kabuto is the best sushi in town to get the most bang for your buck. Located in a small plaza on the crossroads of Decatur and Spring Mountain, Kabuto has a subtle logo. Not necessarily hard to find, but definitely not the most out there restaurant in the area. Parking is very limited in the plaza as well, when busy, many escalate to street parking. Onto the Omakase: Amuse- Cucumber and Seaweed Salad served with Yellowtail and Hamachi sashimi that's topped with Caviar : Overall, it is a flavorful dish. Heavily marinated cucumber and seaweed. Miso dressing and Caviar tops the sashimi. I would much prefer the dish to be lighter given it is the first dish for the course. Warm Dish- Amiami Salmon dressed in Shiso Leaves and Enoki Mushroom Gravy. Amiagi salmon, dressed with shiso leaves and enoki mushroom gravy : Very very mediocre. Salmon is over cooked to the point which the texture is a bit too firm. The thick enoki gravy lacks layers in flavor. The only layer I tasted was Hondashi stock. Sashimi- Bluefin Tuna, Canada Sweet Shrimp, and South Korea Fluke (Olive Flounder) : the presentation value needs work, but the taste is top notch. Fresh fishes, dense texture, and subtle fresh sweetness. Amazing quality protein. Grill- Grilled Bluefin Tuna, Vinegar Marinated Daikon, and Grilled Eel : Disappointing that bluefin tuna appeared again in the course. But at least it is grilled. Grilled eel was amazing. The sauce is only modest in sweetness which is a huge plus, the eel melts in your mouth. The tuna however, is mediocre, a bit too firm in texture but overall alright. Nigiri- Mackerel, Bluefin Tuna, Red Snapper, Hokkaido Scallop, Alaskan King Salmon Roe, Santa Barbara Sea Urchin, Shad, Otoro, Chutoro, and Amberjack : The nigiri is the very reason why Kabuto deserves 5 stars. Unmatched quality of fish at the given price point. Absolutely amazing. Without going into details, the biggest highlights were Otoro, which is tender, fresh, and the perfect amount of fat to couple the meat as it melts in your mouth, and the Salmon Roe. Bluefin Tuna appeared again, making me feel like they overstocked the fish and needed higher output. Overall, amazing nigiri, if you like nigiri, you need to make a reservation for Kabuto. Handroll- Otoro Handroll : modest amount of otoro. The flavor was overshadowed by the rice and seaweed a bit. Highly recommend eating with the served soy sauce. Soup- Shrimp Head Miso : I have to admit that I had high expectations for the soup. The shrimp head was tiny and doesn't have much of the yellow fat/cholesterol part in the head that I love. But this is just me nitpicking. Overall solid but nothing stands out. Dessert- Matcha Ice Cream served in brown sugar with Warabi Mochi, Mochi, Red Bean paste, and Peach : I thought this would be an ordinary ice cream that is just a filler at the end of the meal but the dessert really surprised me. The milky and buttery matcha ice cream works perfectly with the brown sugar. Creating an interesting and fascinating multi-layer flavor. read more

The best omakase in Las Vegas! If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience off the strip, Kabuto takes Japanese culinary arts to the next level. The second you step in it feels like you've been transported to Japan. The fish is incredibly fresh and there is more than enough food to fill you up. Don't skip on the sake pairing either! There are only 18 seats with two seatings per day. Make your reservations well in advance. read more

What an excellent and intimate sushi experience! My husband booked us a reservation for our anniversary. From the moment we walked in we were pleased with the minimalist Japanese design, and we immediately noticed how quiet and non-distracting the noise level was. We were never distracted by others during our meal. The chefs are extremely professional and skilled in what they do. They knowledgeably answered our questions regarding fish and sushi-making. The wait staff can also be complimented too- extremely attentive and always nearby. Never had to call on them for anything. The food is delish! Our favorite was the o-toro. Oh my god, amazing. We have also never enjoyed sea urchin but it was provided to us in the experience and it was surprisingly delicious! SO fresh! Everything is. This place is tiers above other notable restaurants like Nobu, in my opinion. We have done the omakase experience there, too. Kabuto offers a more personal experience as the dining area is only a few tables and 8 stools across the chefs area. We will absolutely be back for our next special intimate occasion. read more

Snagged a spot on Resy 4 hours before our seating time! Keep your notifications on because you never know. We were seated at a table facing the bar. Parties at the bar were distanced enough for the table folk to watch the culinary artistry behind the counter. The entire experience felt casual in a good way - no stiff conversation required, hearty laughters exchanged and guests were encouraged to dine at their own pace. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive to detail, my matcha was swapped a couple of times to ensure that it was always hot to drink. My partner and I enjoyed the Kabuto/premium course ($175) with sake pairing. It truly is a lot more food than the regular course with a few special items. We have large stomachs and by the time we were through with nigiri, we were already at the brink of comfortable and too full. Some of our favorites: ika, otoro, oyster. I particularly liked the first sake presented to us - fruity and floral. The only qualm I have about this Omakase experience was the miso soup with shimeiji mushrooms. I suppose I was hoping for something a little out of the box. Overall a more-than-worth-it meal at its price point, considering the rates in LV, SF, NYC etc. For patrons who know what they like and/or have small appetites, I recommend getting the regular course as you do have the option to add on more nigiris of your choice a la carte. read more

Quick Summary Reservations required and the bar is a must. Try to avoid picking a table, because the sushi temperature just isn't the same. It's a fantastic sushi experience, but slightly below the echelon of great sushi restaurants in SF, NYC, and LA. Parking is available at the plaza but can get crowded (can park in the next plaza which is a short walk) Food- 4 stars The omakase experience was good. Unfortunately, we had a table reservation so there was a small delay in getting the sushi (which makes all the difference). They do plate all their sushi onto 1 dish, so you don't get the marvelous experience of getting a fresh order per sushi bite. Favorite pieces were the amberjack, stripe jack, shad, and red perch. The oyster was fantastic too Only negative was the dessert, which was green tea along with fruit and mochi. Was somewhat like a AYCE sushi dessert which was disappointing. Overall, everything was mostly good. But don't have extremely high expectations Service- 5 stars Service was excellent throughout Bottom Line Pretty good food and value. Make sure you get a bar reservation read more

Kabuto is an amazing omakase experience that for its $100 price tag, is both on point and satisfying. First and foremost, definitely make a reservation. I made mine about a month in advance and it was really worth doing (super small restaurant as others have mentioned // don't think they take walk-ins, at least normally). When you get seated, you'll basically be taken through the omakase courses (which technically is about 8 courses although the Nirigi section is about 12 different nigiris you'll be going through) as well as the waitress taking your drink order (a mix of sakes and beers from my casual quick look). I had a long night ahead of me so just got the junmai sake as a glass and an Asahi draft (love the glasses). As you start to go through the courses, the waitress is amazing and is able to easily describe to you what each item is comprised of. To say the least, the courses were amazing. Loved the presentation and the careful time taken with each course. Really feels thoughtful, beautiful, and delicious. The highlights include the snow crab appetizer dish which was a battle between sweet and savory throughout the entire dish; the delicious play on the teriyaki sauce during the grilled portion; the uni and roe (the uni was a nice sweet variation from Japan that tasted really unique // loved the presentation here); of course several of the nigiris like the toro; and finally, the dessert - an amazing little collection of Japanese-inspired items including one brown-ish item I didn't quite remember what it was (but was the highlight of that dish). Before you get to the miso soup and dessert, you'll be asked if you want to add on any nigiri items which is awesome. Surprisingly, I was super full and didn't have to venture there but maybe with a bigger party. By the way, I love the way Kabuto looks. In the busy strip mall with other great restaurants like Raku, Kabuto literally forces people passing by to take a curious look through a small slit in the wall - the only window in the entire restaurant. Coming in, it's a super sleek, modern white and wooden interior. If you're sitting at the sushi bar, the three sushi chefs stand there ready to chat and make your nigiri (and some other dishes) in front of you with great craftsmanship. Amazing through and through. Thanks to the staff for being super kind and nice throughout the entire experience. read more

I've only gotten takeout from here during the pandemic but it is amazing and 100% worth it! The fish is so fresh and high quality. The prices are very reasonable. The preparation and packaging are immaculate. Lately I've had to preorder at least a day or few days in advance so be sure to reach out early! I prefer the TOKUSEN NIGIRI $49 - I think it gives tremendous variety with high quality cuts. I've also tried the TOKUJO CHIRASHI $50 and YOROI GOZEN $85 which were excellent but better for a larger group to add variety. read more

Disappointing experience for the hype. 3 stars for the flavors, service, and ambiance. Minus 2 stars for the portions and the seating. We came here last night to celebrate my mom's birthday and ordered the omakase for $175 per person. We also added 2 orders of Uni and 2 orders of fatty toro in addition to everything on the menu. The fish was fresh and the flavors were solid but it wasn't anything spectacular and it's exactly what you would expect for a place like this. My guess is that 99% of the population would not be able to tell the sushi quality difference to justify the price. The main issue I had is that we were seated in the worst table at the restaurant facing the kitchen with no option to move. You don't get the full experience of watching the sushi chefs work because you're either staring at the backs of other people's heads, the dirty floors of the kitchen, or the hallway to the restroom. This was never specified in the reservation details and it put a huge damper on our dinner. There's also no option to cancel the dinner at that point because they'll charge you $100 per person. It made our dinner feel unsanitary which has a gross factor when you're dealing with raw seafood. Otherwise, Kame Omakase in Summerlin wins by a huge mile. read more

This establishment is quite an experience. I'm not sure if this place is reservation only but I reserved for my table and it was ready for me even though I showed up five minutes early. You do have to put a credit card under the reservation in case you have to cancel because they have a bit of a strict cancellation policy. I didn't cancel so I'm not sure exactly what the cancellation policy is. Upon entering the restaurant you are noticed as a simple and minimalist design and I've noticed it was rather small and intimate environment with only three tables and three spots on the bar for couples. When we entered the building we were immediately greeted by the chef and the waitress. We were immediately asked what will you like to drink and given a little paper with the courses and a second paper with what fishes were available for the day. The experience was nice it was quiet enough where I can enjoy a conversation with my partner. The food was good... it wasn't the best Omakase I've had in my life but it was probably the best one I've had in Las Vegas with the price of $100 per person. I'm not a fan of sake but if you are they do have quite a bit of selection. They do offer a la carte prices on their nigiri too but recommends waiting until after the nigiri course to order. My partner and I came out pretty full at the end of the experience. read more

Kabuto - February omakase - Sushi Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Food: they only offer omakase (two levels $120 or $175), which are seasonal and change monthly. I recommend going with the $120 and you can add additional nigiri of your choice. The only thing I didn't care for was that the rice with the nigiri was a bit warm and my philosophy is that it should be room temperature. Service: impeccable. Plates served with precision and whisked away. Ambiance: beautiful, clean, minimalist. I recommend sitting at the bar. Nice for a special date night. Location: same plaza as zen curry so the parking lot can get packed. read more

The Kabuto omakase experience was truly second to none. We opted for the $175 option, which for the fish quality and sheer amount of food, was aptly priced (especially considering that it is in Las Vegas). The fish quality was absolutely incredible. The fish simply melted in our mouths. Even more common fish, like salmon and tuna, were beyond exquisite. Scallops were delicate and even a bit sweet; the accompanying eel was incredible with the yolk topping. The caviar was impeccable (days later I'm still thinking about it, haha). The final lychee sorbet was a brilliant pallet cleanser. The service was exceptional, with attentive wait staff and sushi chefs tending to occasional spills. The chef we were paired with had wonderful attention to detail. He was also wonderful to talk to and learn more about Japanese cuisine from. With regard to ambiance, the actual locale is quite cozy. Nothing to brag about, but why bother when the sashimi, nigiri, hot dishes, and desserts provide feasts for the stomach and eyes. Having seen some of the negative reviews, I will say that many of the concerns and issues seem to be with the omakase concept as a whole. It isn't everyone's cup of tea, sure, but the restaurant offers table dining for those who do not want the personalized experience. read more

Stayed at the Wynn, normally we don't go off the strip but we heard this place was an experience and wanted to give it a shot. So glad we did! It was about a 15 min drive on a Monday night w traffic, 5:30 reservation which we thought was too early but honestly it was perfect. We were there for about 2 hours. When you pull into this small shopping center, it does not look like much but we eventually located it with its dainty Chinese symbol as a sign. My husband said you had to choose 1of 3 levels upon booking, my gf and her bf got level 1 and said it was enough food for them. Of course my husband being my husband went with level 2 in fear of not enough food. I believe I tapped out around dish 7, my husband hit a wall shortly after. The food was amazing though! The fish was so fresh and things we normally wouldn't order. Melted in your mouth sushi. You can also add pieces at a decent price if you are still hungry, they give a great description of the items when serving it. The waitress also let us know that level 2 isn't just more food but better quality fish. So we thought it was absolutely worth it and they were kind enough to box up what we we couldn't finish. Def would come back here, I love the intimate vibe, only 6 tables but it felt very cozy. read more

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
