    I came here for the Backstreet Boys martini, and it didn't disappoint. It was cool to watch them make, and the Ube Espresso martini was great. Service was excellent. It was hard to find the door to get out, lol. I'll definitely get another one when I go back.

    My last meal in Vegas ended up being my best. I kept smelling this place every time I walked by during the convention all week and finally stopped in before leaving. So glad I did. I got the 3-set with salmon, yellowtail and spicy tuna, and everything tasted incredible!! Seating is limited, so come early. They up open at 11.

    Service could use some work. Not very friendly. The rolls are small. You have to pay an extra charge of $5 to get your roll cut. They didn't automatically give wasabi and ginger. They also don't hand roll them but they have a machine rolling it. Very small menu with no substitutions.

    It's a cute small spot in the food area of Venetian. The service was fairly quick, the rolls came out quick as well. My favorite was the salmon truffle. For handrolls, the salmon and spicy tuna were delicious.

    Kinda came here on a whim, meaning it wasn't on my radar. I just did some searches, and was like, "let's go here!" After looking at the menu (rather small), I said to my group, "We don't have to go here..." But man am I glad that we didn't pass on the experience! It was so cool to go from the busy Venetian to this quiet, chill, laid back sushi bar/speakeasy. Our server was great! The food, just as good! And cocktails-- also up to par! There was a wagyu tartare on the special menu for the night. We got it, of course. And after one taste, I said to our server, "This needs to be on your menu every night." Hats off to the chef, bartenders, and wait staff! Thanks for a great night. Cheers!

    Amazing rolls. I tried the 4-set it was the best. Great speakeasy. Love the ambiance. It is one of the best. The service was clean and fast.

    Toro Sushi, Crab Hand Roll
    Marcus G.

    Nomikai continues to be one of those Vegas spots my wife and I talk about long after the trip is over. The food really is that memorable. This visit I ordered the 4-set along with two pieces of toro, and the toro especially reminded me why I came back. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, balanced, and well thought out. The quality here is hard to deny. That said, the service definitely kept this from being a 5-star experience. While the sushi bar has a very trendy, upscale vibe, some of the staff came across a little too aware of it. There were multiple times I tried to get my server's attention and was pretty clearly ignored. I even noticed a similar interaction happen with another guest nearby, so it didn't feel like a one-off situation. The awkwardness peaked when I asked for the check. A different server ended up printing what she assumed was the other patron's bill instead of mine, despite me asking first, and the other guest actually had to correct her. It was strange and honestly made the experience feel a bit colder than it needed to. Still, the food absolutely delivers, and that's ultimately why I'd come back. If the service matched the quality of the sushi, this place would easily be one of my favorite spots in Vegas.

    Service and food were great. Small place in casino. Upscale prices. Couldn't believe small bubbly water was $8. I'd eat there again.

    Last night, I had reservations for the speakeasy. If you are visiting Las Vegas, I encourage you to make a reservation because it's a small establishment, and the sushi bar out front has limited seats as well. The concept of a sushi speakeasy that offers crafted drinks in the heart of one of the busiest casinos seemed intriguing to me, so I was excited to give it a try. This place offers a curated, intimate experience. First, as I checked in, the location and check-in experience seemed different. There isn't a big sign- compared to other restaurants in Restaurant Row- and it's discreet, easy to miss. The friendly hosts greet you with a smile and use a card to unlock the door and let you in. That felt unique! As you enter the hallway, the noise from the outside disappears, and dim lights with soft neon Japanese characters and a muted painting greet you. It was a totally different environment from the hustle and bustle of the Venetian. As you sit down at your table, you notice the relaxed ambiance with viby music and deep textures around. The menu is limited, but that's pretty usual for a speakeasy. Everything we had was delicious and fresh! The standouts were the tuna pizza and cod hand roll. The pizza was the perfect balance - paper-thin, crunchy crust with buttery and velvety tuna with a hint of lime and heat. Yum! The miso cod was the perfect umami bite- sweet and savory miso, with a hint of sugar and soy - clean and bright! Next time, I will try one of their sakes or whisky drinks. Overall, it was a great experience. They definitely delivered with what to expect from a speakeasy- an intimate, focused environment with a focus on sushi in terms of quality and precision. I wish it were a little more interactive- like the servers explaining where the fish comes from or even giving you some background information on some of the dishes. I would have liked to know the concept behind a tuna pizza. I guess I could have asked, but sometimes, especially with a speakeasy, you want a storytelling experience and educational journey that is easily built in. I get this from the food, drink, and even the ambiance from the furniture, decorations, and design, but not really from anyone who works there.

    Miso black cod

    Nomokai was an accidental find but a pleasant one. A sushi speakeasy located in the Venetian in the corridor leading to the hotels restaurant row. Walk up and grab a seat at the bar or to go with the window for pickup. With small bites priced to not break your wallet, I was humbly surprised by how fresh and delicious the offerings were. This is a genuine hidden gem that isn't hidden at all. Do not walk right past. They offer quick sushi bites packed with flavor without being too heavy (as I was going to a buffet afterward). All I have to say is the experience was excellent. From the friendly service to the sampling of what they have to offer will bring me back. First, the salmon truffle kosho was a beautiful present of salmon. From the plump size and marbling provides a delightful bite. The truffle is there and highlights the salmon without being overwhelming. Then, my favorite bite was was the recommended miso black cod. It came out warm wrapped in a soybean sesame wrap filled with miso marinated cod (you will continue to crave), rice and katif. Highly recommend! Fresh ingredients, delicious bites of sushi and very affordable which is hard to fine in a town like Vegas!

    3.6.26 - Was a bit hungry and wanted a small snack before my friend arrived and remembered seeing this place when walking around earlier. It was a bit busy at first but they were able to get a spot cleared. The workers here are pretty chill and chat with you a bit. I ordered the Premium Set, the Chili Red & Yuzu Green sauces, and the Nitro Matcha on Tap. Went from a small snack to a full meal... lol. The matcha on tap tasted like matcha water, which isn't my thing. I prefer it latte style and sweet. Both dipping sauces were good. The premium set was delicious! Good quality and fresh. My favorites were the Hokkaido scallops and the toro caviar. The other 2 were good too. I just liked the cold, raw choices more. Bill total was $62.86. Went to their speakeasy later that evening with my friend and her friend cuz I had to try the Ube Expresso Martini. Love the speakeasy vibe. It's dark and moody in there and they had some good music playing. Also like that they offer omakase in here. Honestly, I can't remember if I liked the drink cuz the drink from Juliet Cocktail Room got me buzzed. I think I did? I also ordered 2 uni hand rolls as well. Bill was $76.95! More than earlier. Uni hand rolls were $25 each. Bit overpriced imo. My friend and her friend also got some hand rolls too plus the Bluefin Tuna Pizza. The truffle oil is strong on that dish. Im sensitive to that smell so didn't touch that dish. Also tried the hand roll places in Aria and Cosmo too but I like this place more. Need to retry that ube expresso martini again and try their omakase next time!

    Love the set up. Right in the middle of restaurant row. Vegas is over priced everywhere but the portion and size of the cut hand rolls is what knocked this place to a a 4. The edamame and poke bowl is what kept this review afloat. The tuna wasn't as fresh as I would like but the salmon made up for it in the bowl.

    Melissa N.

    Delicious, roll your eyes to the back of your head meal! It's pricy but such great quality fish at a place so inland. We got the premium and 4 set and doubled up on rolls we really liked. I loved the scallop, blue carb and miso black cod hand rolls. It could get difficult around peak lunch time but the line doesn't get long, just always filled seats. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a good hand roll

All I remember was going through the casino areas of Paris Hotel, and then going down one floor to the Horseshoe area to reach this bar just minutes before closing on a Friday close to midnight. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar area and perused the menu, which has a ton of drinks, beers, wines, mocktails and even snacks. Even when close to closing time, patrons filled up all the bar seating which isn't a lot; most seating was couches and tables near the knickknacks. I got myself the Bee's Knees, which is cranberry and pineapple juice, apple puree, cinnamon fire syrup and some ginger beer according to their menu just outside the front entrance. I can only describe the taste as a sweetened fruit juice with a ton of fizz from the ginger beer, and the pineapple and apple came out on top for overpowering the drink overall. Some mint leaves and a slice of grapefruit were added in, and the mint leaves made this drink feel more like a special cocktail. This and other mocktails is $13 before tax, so pretty high price especially when considering their other alcoholic drinks are not that much higher than that... I actually still loved my drink, though! It was a nice wrap-up for my last day in Vegas and I'm curious now to look a lot more carefully at the stuff on the walls if I ever come here again!

We had so much fun we went back on Sunday night just expecting good energy and live music. We coincidentally made friends in line and the bouncer asked if we wanted a table that would allow us to cut to the front of the line. Minimum was $500 and there were 5 of us so we said yes. To our surprise Bruno came out again!!! No one ever knows when or if he will be there and we were lucky enough to see him 2 nights in a row, and made friends along the way. It was truly a magical experience, Bruno was the cherry on top but even without him making a suprise performance, Pinky Ring is still such a unique vibe I think everyone who visits Vegas should experience. I have no photos to post, just as intended :) The security was very strict about no photos. We were so impressed how well they caught every person, shining lasers at their camera and spotlighting them then escorting them out. Don't be that person, they will catch you and kick you out and make you delete any photos or videos (even from recently deleted, I asked). Just enjoy the experience with the people around you. No one else has to see photos to believe you, and even if they did they would not fully understand the vibe and experience because they weren't there.

They're absolutely right. It does taste completely different. Now it tastes like you licked the floor of a subway station. I'm impressed.
