Had my birthday dinner here tonight and what an experience ! We were welcomed in right when we walked in and escorted to the chef's counter. The lighting was dim, but felt warm and welcoming; the chefs were right at work as we waited for the rest of the guests to arrive. Once the meal service began, Mr. Rich explained each dish, the pairings, and how best to eat each item. I have NO complaints. The food was all delicious and watching the sushi chefs do their thing had me in awe. The menu changes every month, so I definitely would come back! Thank you again for such an amazing time! -EDIT- I noticed it said Kandace for one of the sushi, it should be Kanpachi! read more

Food/Drinks: 5/5 It. Was. Delicious. Service/Ambiance/Value: 4/5 It was incredible. We loved it. Service was incredible. Ambiance was incredible. Value was great but slightly expensive for the food we received. I think it could have been cheaper by 25-30 dollars. Overall Comments: 5/5 Exceeded expectations. Will definitely refer friends and definitely return in the future to see what future menu options are available. read more

Hidden gem! This place small and cozy but definitely worth the price. Our group left so full. The chef and our host were great at explaining each dish they presented to us. How to eat and enjoy the taste but also the presentation. The red miso soup was such a great boost after our many dishes but before the dessert. I really enjoyed the A5 wagyu and the otoro. read more

I had an exceptional dinner at Kaiseki Sanga on 3/12/2026. What made it so special was the incredibly intimate experience with only 4 diners at a 10-seater restaurant. I feel so lucky that I was able to grab a reservation so last minute, it helped that it was a Thursday night! Ambiance - 5/5 Upon entering the restaurant, it feels like you've been transported into an elegant and timeless dining room. The indoor garden area and floral arrangements were just perfect. I was a huge fan of the counter seating and being able to observe and interact with both the chefs and hostesses. Service - 5/5 The main hostess is extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The chefs, Jintaro-san and Yuya-san, are very kind and masters of their kaiseki and sushi craft. I really enjoyed chatting with them as they worked and learning more about them and their menu. As I mentioned earlier, since there were only 4 diners the service felt even more personal. Food - 5/5 We were served a Sakura themed kaiseki menu for the month of March. I enjoyed the entire menu and I will highlight a few of my favorite bites: 1. The Hokkaido uni and negitoro with caviar were my favorite sushi bites of the night! They were both rich in flavor and luxurious in texture. Very high quality imported seafood from Japan! 2. The Wagyu katsu and red wine miso with whole grain mustard seeds were such a great fusion take of iconic Japanese and Western flavors. The sauces really elevated the deep fried wagyu. Thank you chefs and team for a special night and wonderful meal! read more

Vegas is a strip mall culinary town. Don't fall for the tourist traps. Drive, Lyft, bus, hitchhike over to Chinatown for the hidden gems. Kaiseki Sanga is in this nondescript store front in a bustling strip mall on Decatur. The January menu was an homage to osechi-ryouri which is traditional Japanese fare served on New Year's Day. All ingredients were sourced from the proper regions of Japan. All cooking and sushi preparation was executed at the highest level on par with what I have experienced in Tokyo or Kyoto. The chefs, servers and staff are all professional yet approachable and willing to explain and guide you through the two plus hour journey. Highlights: the opening platter had so many delights from the anago chawan mushi to the buri with kazunoko, the nigiri sushi were all excellent, the A5 wagyu melted in your mouth, the tempura was delicious, and the dessert was divine. The ambiance is special. Save your airfare to Japan and go visit Sanga for an experience of a lifetime. read more

Absolutely excellent experience and worth every penny. We got there a bit before 530pm and waited in our car. We saw two people come out in kimono and they led some guests inside, so we got out of the car and were greeted by them as well. The place is decorated very nicely, with a clean and modern aesthetic. I like the hallway that gives drama and anticipation for your dining experience. We sat and waited for the rest of the parties to arrive. In this time, they got our drinks and such situated. The service is so personal and attentive. I love that the personal interactions and the explanations of everything. I loved that we could watch the chefs cook and I loved that they encouraged picture and video taking. The food is so freaking good. Everything was top quality and prepared so well. I wish I could afford to do an experience like this all the time. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday and had a great time! The service from the moment you approach the door to when you leave was fantastic. We were greeted outside as we were approaching the door to he restaurant. We were guided to our seat and the timing of each bite was so well executed and practiced, they make it look so easy. I've eaten at other similar fine dining places where the timing is off or doesn't make sense like a party arriving after us finishing before us. The pacing was smooth and well timed here. The food was yum! Such great quality ingredients and excellent preparation of the food. I didn't leave hungry and I did order an extra sushi but I could've gone for more of the delicious goodness. I highly recommend and would love to make time to come back in the future! read more

One of the best Kaiseki experience ever, the chef really cooked with precision and passion and love you can feel it in your food. A charming, intimate restaurant in a trip mall in Chinatown, so underrated and I almost don't want to share this secret spot. Wow, wow, is all I could say! From the beautiful paring choices to the smokiness and sweetness of the lobster in the miso soup to the flaky scale on the fish that he stood pouring hot oil over and over piece by piece. The high quality of the ingredients and the dedication to their craft yield beyond just food. Only 10 seats so book in advance. Staff couldn't be more kind, and chefs couldn't be more skill and sweet. Thank you the entire team at Sanga for a magnificent meal and memory. Arigato!!! read more

Probably the best experience of Japanese food in Las Vegas. Some of the best stuff is just off the strip. This is an intimate setting in Spring Mountain in a pretty crowded plaza. However, they greet you by the door and let you in through a hallway that leads you to the seating area. This is a reservation only so make sure you do it through resy! The whole experience was great. The chefs are extremely interactive and they would appreciate if you ask any questions about the preparation of the meal. It's basically like an omakase, but they call it a kaiseki, like a coursed meal. It's a different menu depending on season. For sure a 10/10 just because the hospitality, the perfect food, and the wonderful chefs. The waitresses would also explain each dish and the meaning of them before you get to eat them. The price does come to $250 plus tax and tip. However, you do leave full. Definitely a must go whenever you're in Las Vegas read more

Sanga, is located in an unpretentious storefront, buried in a strip mall, away from the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas Strip. It delivers the skill, cooking techniques and presentation of a multi course tasting Japanese meal. The fine art and expertise of Kaiseki Dining, that centers around freshness, seasonality and high quality ingredients is seamlessly executed at a high level. In essence, encompassing the elements of Nama (raw), Nuru (Simmered), Yaku (grilled, Musu (steamed) and Ageru (fried). It is a structured meal, because there is a specific order of the delivery of dishes. Sanga, is a 10-Chef counter seat, tasting menu restaurant, comprising an open kitchen, where the Kaiseki culinary prowess of the 3 chefs were on full display. Introductions and explanations were delivered by Rick, the host, for all the courses (8 including the Amuse). Most of the ingredients were sourced from Japan. For example, the A5 Wagyu beef from Kyoto and the Uni from Hokkaido. The restaurant displayed certificates and traceability framed documentation to guarantee authenticity. All the courses, some with multiple items, were wonderfully prepared, to highlight, texture, flavor and varying tastes. The Wagyu beef was my favorite, either simmered or grilled to perfection. Both melted in your mouth. The sashimi and sushi courses oozed with freshness. The Uni, married very well with other ingredients in the hand roll, and was a definite show stopper in the sushi course. The soups and appetizers were different. The $250 tasting menu (before taxes and gratuity) has to be secured by reservation with a credit card. Miss the cancelleation window and you will be charged a penalty fee of $150. There is a $85 Sake Pairing and a $150 Premium Sake pairing. Personally, I don't believe in any type of pairing and alcohol contaminating my taste buds and skewing the overall outcome of the meal. Therefore, I always go for water pairing. Many consider Sanga to be the best Japanese meal in Las Vegas. No question, I totally agree and corroborate with that accolade. It is a Japanese tasting gastronomic experience that is unique and unforgettable. Service, at all levels, from start to finish (about 2 hours), was nothing short of outstanding. read more

3/23/24 We were so excited to try Sanga and made reservations for our family to try a Las Vegas Kaiseki dining experience (multi-course prefix meal) which included both our boys. Our experience was unfortunately lack luster due to where we were seated. Our reservation was at 8pm on a Saturday. We arrived at the plaza and parked (shared parking spaces looked sketchy at night), the establishment overall looked somewhat hidden and new. There was a fabric sign displaying Sanga and construction going on next door. We checked in at the door and walked down a narrow aisle to our private seating room. We were seated in a white wall no decor isolated room (similar to a closet that only had room for one table and 4 chairs). There was construction going on next door that was extremely loud (tools, drills, drums, the works at 8pm!) that completely ruined our dinner. The host did apologize and said they believe it's going to be a nail salon but it was not something they could help. While we understand this is not the restaurant's fault, they should have opted not to seat anyone in the room. It was not enjoyable for our little family especially at the prices we were paying. The food was good. A few courses were excellent while the nigiri's were just ok. We were so proud of our sons (14 & 9) trying everything served. They are great at giving me their opinions too! Our dining total was $1500 (2 pairings at $85/pp) and not something we do often at all by any means. We love exploring hole in the wall affordable places as well as splurging on eats like this once in a while. We would have 1000% preferred to have been giving the dining option to be served and eat in the dining section of the restaurant which we did not have any visuals to until we were being walked out of the restaurant. The chefs were kind enough to take group pics for us to document our kids first Kaiseki's time. I look back to our experience a year ago (failed to publish the draft) and surprised by their rating today! Hopefully they have made progress this past year from our experience. With so many options in Vegas, it would have to take a convincing yelp review from my close yelp family to get me to go back and try again. read more

We came here on Christmas Eve last year and literally hands down the best Kaiseki and Omakase experience we've had outside Asia. The restaurant is very unassuming from the outside but once you opened the door, you'll notice the ambiance with warm lighting and nice decoration. From greeting, walking down the hallway into the dining area, every steps making you had the surreal feeling of being in Japan. The hostess, Seiko san was amazing not only because of her attention and kindness upon arrival, but also have us seated right down the middle so we could watch all magic happened from the kitchen throughout a two-hour unique dining experience. They change the menu monthly and before the meal starts, the chefs will showcase some of the ingredients with certificate and origin so you can tell they source only the best and seasonal stuff. Every courses we had that night were absolutely delicious, each dish was decent and had a delicate flavors with artistic presentation. My favorite one besides the main dishes was probably the steamed nodoguro with uni and truffle, it was rich and indulgent, along with the dashi graving and wasabi, those layers of flavor had blew us away. The lobster and wagyu were perfectly cooked, the dish was simple but restrained enough to let the primary flavors come through. All those nigiris were top notch, in high quality and thoughtfully prepared, we liked the negitoro with uni and caviar the most, it was glamorous and every bite was a perfect balance of rich, fresh and satisfying. The service from Rich was on point. Very attentive and he explained every dishes in detail before they served and also really took care of us. We just ordered two drinks during our meal and unfortunately didn't do the sake pairings but I am sure when we come back next time, owing to his knowledge and suggestion those sakes may perfectly complement the flavors and textures of the food. Shout out to all chefs, Hojo, Jintaro and Yuya. Very experienced and professional, everyone had their own task but worked so well together as a team to serve customers. Watching them did the prep and cooked in front of us was truly amazing and inspiring. They were also kind and interactive as upon departure, we were invited to take a group photo and talked a bit more like behind the scenes. This was one of the best dining experiences and we had a fantastic evening, highly recommend Kaiseki Sanga. Definitely coming back for next occasion and looking forward to other monthly menus! read more

A very hidden place at the same plaza of samurai Japanese BBQ. There's no sign of the restaurant. Just ask and push the glass door in and through the dimming-light path, then you will see the very intimate open kitchen with seats. It's by appointment, 5:30pm or 8pm. $250 PP. there's also the wine and sake pairing, or you can order beers and teas. There's the introduction with presentation with every course. Each course is tiny, but they do get you filled up at the end (not very full but enough and content). I wouldn't say it's the best or must try. But it is worth of it with the price, and the service is great. They do change their menu every month. My favorites of the meal are Uni, Otoro, tuna sashimi, and wagyu read more

Sublime kaiseki omakase experience!! I feel as though I cannot add more to the extraordinary reviews but that is of course indicative of the high level of mastery that one will observe and enjoy (and pay for) at Kaiseki Sanga. As with most higher-end Japanese restaurants in Vegas, this is off strip, a bit unassuming (or verily!), and your Uber driver might be somewhat flummoxed although that is part of the beauty. You go from the concrete, sweltering madness that is Las Vegas in all its hedonistic beauty to an oasis of serenity, calm, traditionalism, yet welcoming, warm and dare-I-say touching ambiance. The servers are clearly dedicated to their craft, very knowledgeable, and strike that right balance of explaining without being pretentious or overbearing about the descriptions. The owner hovers patiently and thoughtfully on the side, and is connected to Kabuto. She is a master of Japanese art and a real font of knowledge for things such as lacquerware, kintsugi, et al. The chefs have an array of weaponry, I mean knives, on the walls and their cutting skills and preparation are second to none. I come from a French family and the French love soups - I had maybe one of the best soups I've ever had at a restaurant here. They're serious about their vegetables, broths, and presentation as much as of course their fish...and...rice. The rice is great. It is vinegar'ed and served Edomae style as this location bowed to the pressure to have a sushi experience in the Kaiseki dance, which was wonderful too and filling. You will definitely leave quite full and I opted for the premium sake experience. Each bottle and carafe and container was so beautiful and the history and provenance of each blew me away. Of course, you will feel it, so opt for Uber or a designated driver on the way home! Everyone was especially welcoming, gregarious and the food/sake was 5-stars all around. I felt as though I experienced a Japanese museum of food and culture. read more

Kaiseki Sanga just launched its fall menu today (August 1st), and it's absolutely worth a visit. The seating is elegant and comfortable, and the service is gracious and attentive--everything you'd hope for in a kaiseki experience. The dishes are beautifully paced, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful choices, especially in the sashimi and sushi selections. The rice was excellent, and the wasabi had just the right bite. Portions are generous, so come hungry--despite pacing myself throughout the courses, I still couldn't finish dessert! Highlights? The negitoro with uni and caviar stole the show--rich, layered, and indulgent. The otoro, lightly seared with a hot knife, added a subtle warmth and depth to the buttery texture. And the crab? Super crunchy and unexpectedly addictive. Definitely give it a try--it might surprise you. Overall, a refined, delicious, and memorable experience. read more

Kaiseki Sanga has been on my radar for a few years now, as I live in California and wanted to experience dinner here on a special occassion. This past weekend I was able to secure a reservation to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it was such a wonderful and memorable tableservice from start to finish. Arriving at the entrance it was hard to anticipate what the restaurant would look inside, but once you step in, it feels as if you are really in Japan for a moment. The ambiance was warm, welcoming, and tranquil, and it doesn't make you feel nervous as some high end places do. All chefs and wait staffs were attentive and worked beautifully in unison. They took the time to go over each dish, and explained the concept as well as the origin of each ingredient used. Not to mention the presentation of preparing each item right in front of you is such a spectacular experience. The dinner is about 2 hours long so definitely make sure to come with an empty stomach. You will most definitely be full by the end of it :) If you are looking for an authentic traditional Japanese Kaiseki, I can vouch for this place 110% read more

What more can language capture? One of those rare evenings when rice becomes prayer, when raw fish transcends the ocean it left behind. Time dissolved in golden beer, each piece of sushi a small ceremony on the tongue, the wasabi's fire, the ginger's cleanse, the fish yielding like a secret whispered. Some experiences resist elaboration. To say more would be to say less. The knife that falls through tuna knows this truth. When the chef serves perfection, does the fish remember the sea, or does the sea remember the fish? read more

I would never have found this place without the help of the Amex Platinum Concierge- it's really not advertised much online. I called the week we were planning to go to Vegas to ask about a tasting menu; they took five minutes, got back on the line and said "there's two seats available at Kaiseki Sanga. you want to go there." They were very much correct. If you're a fan of tasting menus and are struggling to decide where to go - the kaiseki experience at Kaiseki Sanga is FAR better than anything you'll find on the strip. It's a whirlwind of A5 wagyu beef, perfectly-prepared sushi, and a gorgeous selection of hot and cold dishes. We decided to pair with the Premium Sake tasting menu - each bottle showcased had a story behind it, so if you're a sake fan, definitely splurge a little and go for it. There are only about 10 or 12 seats per dinner seating, so this is a very intimate experience. Dishes are prepared in front of you and the chefs will bring around certain parts of the dish to showcase before cooking. The couple sitting next to us lives in Las Vegas and had been here SIX TIMES. The menu changes every month, so it's never the same. Special items like caviar and wagyu that you'd typically pay extra for at other Vegas tasting menus are highlighted as main courses at Kaiseki Sanga; the meat is so incredibly tender. This is also not a place where they skimp on portions either - I walked out stuffed. Strange tip, but make sure you check out the toilet while you're there. read more

Imagine watching your favorite food TV show live where you get to eat the food they prepare in front of you. That's pretty much my way of explaining this Kaiseki experience. When you walk in you're greeted with this long dark hallway that you follow which leads you to this amazing open kitchen. You sit in an intimate setting with a lot of room for you to eat as well as enjoy the chef's preparing your food. If you've haven't been to an Omakase or similar, I'd say this is more of a tasting course where they give you several types of dishes with using a variety of seasonal and/or premium ingredients. The difference with this is that it's not so heavy on sushi as much as an Omakase would be. The food changes monthly depending on season so you know you'll know that every ingredient you're eating is at its most best version. The flavors are very Japanese in the sense that the flavor's aren't so salty and loud as typical other fine dining may be so take that with a grain of salt (ha). The experience of them carefully preparing each dish in front of you is the main reason why you'd come here. Expect 2+ hours as this is a full experience in which I'd consider it a full show. Feel free to ask questions as it can be an interactive experience. Just note that their English can be a little broken, but there is a lady there that speaks good English. read more

This wasn't just dinner, it was an experience worth every penny! It goes without saying that the food quality went beyond my expectations, after all, the Japanese strive for perfection. I'm all here for appreciating it. The entire staff was also excellent and brought the whole experience together. All were kind, knowledgeable and interactions felt natural and organic. The teamwork of the chefs was amazing to watch. Each one of them knowing what to do, when to do it, and then anticipating the next move. I love that the facade is unassuming as well -- reminiscent of Japan. The interior and decor were simple and significant. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Sanga to everyone. read more

Sanga, the perfect place for a holiday, or any reason, dinner. Set menu, which changes monthly, of nine courses ($250), with two types of sake pairings (opted for the basic $85 one). Bottles and beverages could be purchased separately as well. In short, one of the most amazing meals I have enjoyed. The experience was a feast for the senses, from the premium ingredients to the traditional and stunning techniques, presentation, and flavor. A5 wagyu, Maine lobster, kobako, sake lees, caviar, black truffle, milt, succulent fish like yellowtail, barracuda, tuna, seabass, snapper, just a small sample of the treats in store. The accompanying enhancers received no less care, from the red wine salt to the hand-ground wasabi. The $85 sake pairing consisted of six pours, each delivered with history, rice type, and into its own particular vessel whether a wee latticed porcelain cup, murano glass, color-changing saucer, or enameled gilt chalice. Service: Unintimidating formality, cheerful and informative. Atmosphere: Elegant, traditional, minimalist modern. Light music set a peaceful tone, while the chefs fascinated with their skills to create edible art. Value: Incalculable. read more

Was very excited to explore this establishment. I missed out the last time when I visited LV. Looking for this restaurant was a challenge, no fancy sign of that sort. Tinted windows and a door. Once you enter and walk into a dimly hallway, you will see the dining seating. There's 2 dinner seating, 530pm and 8pm. Service here is impressive and attention to details. Host Rich and his partner was amazing with service and knowledge. This is unlike any omakase, you'll get a set course and if you're wanting more of something you like, they'll be happy to make for you ala carte. Some fancy places won't allow that. I had to order a second round of the BSM 10 wagyu beef. So ono! This place is worth a visit. You'll not be disappointed. I'll definitely visit again whenever I'm in town! read more

Kaiseki Sanga - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

So this trip we ate at both Kaiseki Sanga and Kabuto which are actually owned by the same Mon Restaurant Group - which I didn't know until after the fact! They are both outstanding and I highly recommend them! I plan to check out other restaurants owned by this group. Kaiseki Sanga was a very high end experience with outstanding service. From the moment we arrived we were impressed to be greeted outside and escorted in via the gorgeous long Japanese style corridor. This Kaiseki menu has a ton of high end ingredients: A5 wagu (both as a steak and lightly seared as sushi) uni, toro (multiple times), gold leaf, roe, lobster, truffle, etc! Everything was the top quality and so delicious! They use the red vinegar sticky rice here which was a neat diversion from the traditional white rice but it was also delicious. The service was wonderful. Each course was announced and explained and all 11 of us were served at the same time (by multiple chefs). My drink also never got below half full before it was refilled. In addition to the great service it was entertaining to watch the 3 chefs prepare the many courses right in front of us. Do be prepared though that Kaiseki Sanga is traditional Japanese so you will be eating some dishes more interesting & off the beaten path than 'main stream Japanese' both in ingredients, flavor combinations and texture. But if you are prepared for that, or have experienced that when visiting Japan, then you will enjoy your meal. read more

Beautifully designed and intimate omakase experience. The service is impeccable, perfect for a special occasion. Every dish was beautifully displayed and meticulously explained. I cannot stress enough how this is dining perfection. Every dish was beautifully composed and so flavorful and delicious. My one complaint is that we were offered additional nigiri but were not told it was priced ala carte. I have been to many omakases and often you are told that you can eat until you are satisfied. It would be nice if the service indicated that ala care nigiri is not included in the omakase price. read more

Bringing the taste of Japan to the desert, but at a premium price. My experience here was excellent from the hidden entrance way, to the beautiful ambiance, excellent service, to the amazing high quality food I cannot recommend kaiseki sanga enough. This is a reservation only true omakase experience very similar to what you would get in Japan albeit much more expensive. The menu changes monthly so there is always something new to look forward to. The price is hefty, at 250 a person and it can get higher if you add a sake experience (which we did). There are several courses including a nigiri and sashimi course. You will experience imported uni and delicious wagyu. I do recommend the Sake pairing as each bottle comes with a story and a neat glass. Each dish is a work of art. This is terrific for a special occasion, but seating is extremely limited so book ahead of time. Tip: the outside appears closed and abandoned. The door is locked, but don't worry someone will come get you at the reservation time. 5 stars. read more

An incredible experience. Otoro, Miyazaki A5, Lobster, Uni, and more. Nondescript entrance with a beautiful interior. The various dishes were prepared to perfection such as the octopus and the dessert with many of the dishes assembled in front of us with high quality ingredients as part of their June kaiseki. The staff was hospitable and welcoming with Rich being highly knowledgeable about all of sake while the chefs were very friendly and often interacted with all of us at seated at the bar. What truly stands out is the variety of the courses. Beef in a multitude of ways and seafood of all kinds including the Sawagani (a tiny freshwater crab who is completely edible). It's pricy but completely worth it. read more

Talk about underrated. Honestly i have driven by this strip mall a billion times and even dined in this unassuming strip mall because one of our ramen spots is here. I was looking for a night out on the town and looking for some high quality Japanese food and found this place pop up. Made a reservation to try this spot out and showed up on the day of. Like i said this place is literally tucked away with no signs and a locked door right until open time. Once they unlocked the door, the magic began with being walked down a long dark hallway which then opens to a beautiful dining bar (10 seats or so) with a few different chefs hard at work. The service is top notch from start to finish. Super attentive, efficient, and friendly. the menus change monthly based upon seasonality and they start the course by showing you a basket of all the ingredients you will be consuming that day. The colors are vibrant with the bright orange fresh color of the uni and caviar, wagyu and vegetables all plated. Our course was broken down by the following : an amuse consisting of ama dai with daikon radish. a light and airy dish with the fish being cooked well. complex flavors but built in a soothing way. The next course was a tray of appetizers all beautifully curated. this consisted of chawanmushi with ikura, a cream cheese bite, satsuma, etc. All of it was not overpowering the other and it was just delicious. The next course was a soup with crab cake boiled in the middle. The broth was absolutely clean and the crab was pure in taste. lovely way to progress into our sashimi course. The sashimi course was high quality and vibrant colors. Simple but elegant presentation of the fish. The next course was a nabe pot with Napa cabbage, in season shimeji mushrooms. The nabe was very delicious and the warm broth warmed my entire body. the next course was the wagyu beef made from specific gender and cut of beef from japan. absolutely tender piece of filet mignon and beautifully cooked. Delicious. The next course was our sushi which consisted of Akamai, kinme tai, Sawara, wagyu, negi toro, otoro, and red miso soup. All the sushi was beautifully prepared, high quality and delicious. Obviously the uni stole my heart as it always does but everything was just phenomenal. The dessert was a perfect way to end the meal. All in all, this is the most balanced kaiseki meal i have had in Vegas for sure and even rivals a lot of the great places i have had in the US. the flavors are all complex but delicately put together and the ingredients are truly highlighted for what they are. Delicious meal in Vegas and will certainly find myself again here in the future when i look for an upscale meal. Definitely a great local business off strip that deserves more credit! read more

While I hate to be the contrarian amongst all the great reviews, I have to be honest, this place, while not bad, doesn't justify the $600+ price tag. From the pictures I've seen, it seems like the experience we had didn't quite live up to the hype. It feels like they're trying too hard to stand out and have strayed a bit from the core of what people love about sushi just great sushi. The focus here seemed to be more on elaborate appetizers and fillers, with not enough attention given to the quality and quantity of nigiri, which is what I look for in an omakase experience. If you're a fan of trendy appetizers and aren't as focused on the nigiri itself, this place could be for you. But for me, when I spend top dollar on omakase, I want to savor the fish and indulge in exotic, high quality nigiri pieces, not just a bunch of small plates. Everyone there was great. The staff were friendly, informative and had great customer service. I've seen people mention they'd return, but honestly, I wouldn't go back. read more

The overall experience was good. The service was attentive, and nice pacing. They use high quality ingredients, and the price for the course and drinks were ok considering all those factors. The sake pairing was nice and fun. The food was a bit underwhelming in my opinion. The appetizers and sashimi were great. I found several dishes to be a bit overcooked for my preference, fish, duck, A5 shabu. The beef tenderloin has a chewy string in it. The sushi courses where very well executed, and I'm very picky about sushi, so kudo to the chef. read more

This was literally the best meal in my entire life. This is not an exaggeration. You have the top notch ingredients, skilled chefs, super service, and you're watching and eating right at the counter. They accommodate anything you can throw at them (although they say they can't take responsibility for life threatening allergies, which I get). The chef talks to you directly to know what you can do or not eat. They have a set menu that changes by the month, with the exception of anything you need to change to accommodate your dietary restrictions. The restaurant is in an unassuming strip mall with opaque glass and a non-assumint sign that just says Sanga. The door is locked until a few minutes before your reservation. You walk in to an unassuming entryway and a hallway that opens up into a small Japanese garden and a long countertop area where you will be for the next 2 hrs unless you visit the bathroom (which by the way has an automatic toilet seat and is heated, nice touch). You're seated at the counter (total seats 10) and you have a front row seat to all the kitchen magic they do that you normally see on a show like Iron Chef, except here you are the one eating it. Each bite gets better and better and you keep thinking wow, what am I eating? Only to find that the next course is just another level. The quality of the ingredients and the skill of these chefs is next level. This isn't your everyday meal. Come here for a celebration and you'll remember it for a long time. Came here for an anniversary, and they even surprised us with some special decor for the dessert. On to the food! The first dish was half cold, half hot. The chawanmushi (my wife had it, I'm allergic to the egg) was absolutely amazing and nourishing. Not too much else to say about this dish other than the black cod was cooked to perfection, and the hokkaido scallops tasted so absolutely pure and delectable. I'm going to run out of words to describe the food. Soup course might have been my favorite. Some sort of char roasted salmon in a white miso broth topped with yuzu. So simple and yet so expertly crafted, the depth of flavor is unlike anything I've ever eaten. I savored every drop of this. This ruined miso for me.. can't top this. Sashimi course was spanish mackerel + chu toro with freshly made wasabi and in-house made 3 year aged soy sauce. Oh my gosh so fresh and so pure and melt in your mouth, I think I even finished the soy sauce. Nabe course was a5 wagyu beef, mushrooms with a poached egg (skipped mine). This has now surprassed sukiyaki for me. Surf course was maine lobster with uni cream sauce, uni, and generously shaved truffle. I couldn't eat the lobster main item and they subbed it out for me with a nice chunk of sea perch cooked the same way - which looked like fried and then grilled, followed by torch to the uni. The lobster presentation looked a lot better than mine, but the flavor meld was just insane. Turf course was probably the star for me. Wagyu beef filet mignon - panko katsu'd. Accompaniments - some sort of red miso bbq sauce they made, dijon mustard seeds, fresh wasabi, squeeze of lemon. Wow. Katsu surpassed. Thinnest katsu crust, not oily, deep wagyu flavor. And wow that miso bbq sauce with the mustard, this was crazy. Next was sushi course. The best part of this kaiseki is that you get the sushi omakase feel along with all the other amazing stuff. Each piece is made right in front of you just before you eat it. The best kanpachi (yellowtail) I've ever had, akami (tuna), followed by Hannari kobe beef (only 230 cows per year in Japan) which was torched and has the texture I didn't know beef can have (might have been my favorite bite of the meal), followed by negitoro + uni + caviar handroll, spanish mackerel, and otoro that was seared with a straight up hot iron rod. Chased by a red miso broth. Dessert course was a matcha panna cotta + red bean + strawberry, grilled apple ice cream (refreshing), and expertly made matcha tea. Overall great end to the meal. They also made us a nice happy anniversary surprise. I knew this was going to be good but I didn't know how good. I'm still thinking about that meal and it's been over a week. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Kaiseki Sanga. Honestly - I waited months to write this review because I didn't even know where to start. First - this is not an inexpensive meal but it is worth every penny. If you've got a birthday, anniversary, or big business dinner coming up, I highly recommend booking this experience. The food and service were both phenomenal. I won't go into detail about the dishes because change them often, but I will say that the quality and freshness of ingredients is top notch. The vibe at the sushi bar is very cool, as well. It's quiet, but not uncomfortably so. It's well-lit, but not obnoxiously bright, and the description (which sometimes include a story) of each menu item/course is super interesting. I can't wait to have a reason to go back! read more

Hi Yelp Family! I am a lover of Omakases and did my research before flying to Las Vegas. I was initially there for my birthday and chose this to be my birthday dinner. The reviews on many apps were great. When I arrived I was greeted at the door escorted to a small room in the back, very private, intimate and luxurious kind of setting. I was greeted by the staff and team! The omakase was 10 - courses for 2 hours. The whole experience was lovely for my first time! the waiter was very attentive, the chef while preparing each dish was interactive and engaging with us. Each dish was delicious.. I love sashimi and each time it was fresh, had a added flavor. The cooked dishes each had a different taste and were good. The Wagyu MELTED in your mouth and they gave a explanation on it and where it came from. The soups each were different and all so delicious. I was very content in the end. We had about 8 people sitting and everyone sang me happy birthday with the dish you see in my pictures and We stuck round for couple minutes finishing some sake and left. If you are a sushi lover/omasake and live or travel to Vegas I would highly recommend. Each month they change their menu which is exciting! read more

From start to finish this is an incredible authentic experience in a very intimate setting. I would come back! Every month the menu changes and the food and sake pairings were exceptional! It is always beautiful to experience different cultures and the food in a true setting. The staff was so wonderful and you feel like part of the family. Thank you for providing a place for an experience so lovely! read more

Absolutely unacceptable experience at Sanga - this is not a 5-star restaurant by any standard. I brought my mother to Sanga during her visit, excited to share a special night at this intimate, high-end omakase with only 10 seats and a $250 per person prix fixe menu. What should have been a refined, memorable evening turned into a disaster due to the restaurant's complete failure to maintain a respectful dining environment. From the start, one guest--there with friends for a birthday--was drunk, loud, and belligerent. He began the evening blasting offensive rap music from his phone in the middle of the quiet dining room. I personally had to ask him to turn it off because no staff intervened. That should have been the first red flag. Throughout the entire two-hour dinner, he continued to curse loudly, make inappropriate remarks, and create an incredibly uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone else present. Midway through the dinner, he escalated further--yelling at the chefs, blatantly insulting them, and making racist remarks, including, "I thought you all didn't even speak English." He followed this by screaming "I'm not eating your food" and "I'm never f***ing coming back." Despite all this, the staff did absolutely nothing. He should have been immediately removed. Period. Instead, the staff continued to serve him alcohol, allowing the chaos to escalate. Even rowdy bars know to stop serving and eject guests who behave this way--yet here, at a luxury restaurant, no one stepped in to protect the experience or dignity of the other diners. To make matters worse, after all of this, the staff sang happy birthday to his group, rewarding their completely inappropriate behavior, and acting as if the prior two hours hadn't been ruined for everyone else. My mom and I couldn't enjoy our food. We couldn't even hear ourselves think. We spent $700 on what should have been a peaceful and artful dining experience, but it was utterly destroyed by the staff's inaction and complete disregard for guest wellbeing. No apology. No acknowledgement. Nothing. Sanga may have the price point of a fine dining establishment, but based on this experience, it completely lacks the standards, professionalism, and integrity of one. A restaurant like this has a responsibility to curate not just a meal, but an environment. They failed, and failed badly. This was not a five-star meal. Not even close. read more
