Food and experience were absolutely phenomenal, as if I was back in Japan (minus the price). Many of the ingredients are Japan imported therefore the quality and taste is at high standard. To us, the price was definitely worth it as you get big pieces of each items. We got the: hokkaido special: big salmon pieces, uni*, snow crab, and Hokkaido scallops were so fresh, sweet, and high quality texture Sakura bowl otoro: big otoro pieces and uni did not have a hint of fish after taste and all melts in your mouth Uni pasta: by far the best uni pasta I have. Not salty, dry, or dairy tasting. Perfectly well seasoned with al dente pasta noodles that pairs well with the uni We decided to split the bowl and each pieces were so big we had to split them in size to savor and enjoy the taste. We are uni snobs and the uni* here is 5/5 in taste, texture, and freshness. So sweet and buttery, no hint of pungent or ocean taste. Also, their yuzu paste pairs so well with each item! Such a unique idea and I'm obsessed. Service was great. Bayu and others catered to our needs fairly quickly and efficiently. Everyone and including the owner were very hospitable. Thank you! Ambiance was relaxing without any loud or obnoxious music. No overpowering smell. Very clean and each table is spaced out nicely. We didn't have any reservations on a Saturday night and we were seated promptly. TLDR; high quality and great taste that is worth the high price. Going back here again!
This is an amazing restaurant! The staff were friendly and I loved how the chef came to the table. The seafood was fresh and delicious! The uni pasta had a savory note and wasn't excessively salty so I was pleasantly surprised. The otoro sakura bowl was great. The slices of fish were large and difficult to eat, but I found a way because it was so delicious. The interior was nice; although the restroom was very basic. The prices are high but they are justified because of the amount and quality of the product you receive. Overall, I would definitely come again!
Wow. Their otoro and chutoro bowls are to die for. Expensive, but huge and extremely fresh fish. The owner is also very friendly and personally came out to greet us!
Shigotonin is a hidden gem for sushi lovers. The food here is top-tier. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Each piece was prepared with care and perfect timing. The uni, toro, and hamachi were especially memorable. You can tell the chefs are experienced and passionate about what they do. Service was warm and attentive. The staff made great recommendations and explained the dishes without rushing us. It felt very personalized and respectful of the dining experience. Prices are reasonable for the quality, especially considering how hard it is to find true craftsmanship like this. Shigotonin is not just a meal--it's an experience. Can't wait to come back!
Want fresh fresh fresh fish? Shigotonin is the spot! I usually eat at AYCE sushi restaurants, but I wanted to change the vibe and eat top quality sushi. As you walk in, you enter a minimalistic and modern restaurant. It kind of feels like I'm at an art gallery. They offer various options of maki's, rolls, bowls, and even appetizers. I got the jidori karaage... super juicy! I also got one of the bowls and the toro set. Expect big cuts of melt in your mouth tuna. Every dollar spent was so worth it. The fish was so fatty it coated my mouth and melted in my mouth. The saltiness was perfect. Service was 5 they were constantly refilling our drinks and checking on us. I highly recommend Shigotonin if you want to treat yourself or someone special. Go and taste for yourself!
Intimate and minimalist cute little Japanese hole in the wall restaurant. The food is focused on fresh Japanese sashimi and sushi. The service was impressive when I went on Saturday night and the Japanese owner/chef came out to greet guests. Everything we had was amazing and fresh. My favorite had to be the uni pasta with caviar, kama toro, and uni handroll. The kama toro and chu toro was buttery and melt in your mouth. Really fresh. Definitely worth a try
Service was good. Liked how the waitress showed us the specials board and scrolled through photos to highlight the special. Visually very appealing. Food came out quickly and presentation was good except for the Wagyu and mushrooms. For $85 Wagyu I'd expect better presentation and flavor. Super mild buttery flavor and definitely tender. However it just was lack luster at that price. the miso mushroom dish was also take it or leave it. I say leave it at $35. I'm comparing the 5 ounce Wagyu from Raku on a hot stone for $120 and even though this was more tender the presentation was lacking. Both Wagyu were ok, not fabulous. The oyster mushroom at Raku was much better than this place. The sashimi was a different story. Hella good and very nice sized portions. The sashimi rice had a little something special about it and I could have eaten a bowl of it separately or with the Wagyu. Nothing but stars for the sashimi bowls ~ $65.
All I have to say is wow! We absolutely loved this experience. Every dish we had was so fresh and delicious. Servers were friendly and attentive. Cannot wait to go back!
Amazing food, amazing service, and a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment. We went here end of February to celebrate my friend's wedding and the food was outstanding. I got the miso soup, temaki 5 kinds, and uni carbonara. The chutoro and uni were the best but the other fish was great too. Everyone loved their meals and I look forward to coming back here one day.
Well damn the sushi is that good; I haven't had tuna that good ever. And it was every piece of the tuna from the akami to negitoro to the Otoro. The staff are well trained, attentive, and have some of the friendly and joking nature of the owner, Shigo-San. The uni pasta was also excellent but if I come back I'm ditching that and getting more varieties of the special bowls (there's been mention in previous reviews of the Hokkaido special's rice being mind blowing) We also got the yellowtail temaki which was okay but the tuna was so delicious that it couldn't compare. For party of two, our total came to around $240 including tax, tip, and a sake bottle. FYI the special combo set prices vary I think but at the time we went the tuna mix was $150 and the temaki 5-piece set would have been $125
The fish is solid here but agree with others that the price may be a bit high for what you get. I've been to premium sushi/omakase places that offer similar sets in LA for less. I think I was a bit disappointed in the amount of uni I got for the special chirashi. I kid you not, the small fingernail size dollop of uni you see in my picture was all the uni given for the entire chirashi bowl. Now the high quality of fish was what redeemed this place a bit more as a 4 star for me, but I almost rather they didn't list uni as part of this bowl if they're going to be giving such a small amount that's barely enough to get a good taste of when mixed in with the rice. Good and attentive service was another reason I leaned towards the 4 star rather than 3.
After researching for a long time what to eat in vegas, I decided to finally try this spot off the strip as I usually stick to the food on the strip. The reviews for this place is crazy good! Naturally, I had high expectations and made a reservation immediately. tbh there was no need for a reservation. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived. Although it might have been the timing since it was a weekday when we went. All the food was really good. The fish is fresh. No complaints. The chicken namban was surprisingly juicy and the sauce was super good and went well with the chicken. The uni Carbonara is a must get. Overall really good food but slighly overpriced for the portion. I felt that the prices were comparable to the strip pricing (if not more expensive) But it was really good and fresh.
Everything is so yummy and the service is good the food came out so fast. I also got the uni pasta and more hand rolls but I forgot to take pictures of them. It's very clean and minimalistic and hole in the wall. You would never suspect this place. The Sakura box is so yummy but the pieces are bigger than one bite. Would come again.

I loved: Sakura bowl - otoro Negitoro hand roll I liked: Salmon Baguette Saba roll The Sakura bowl has such huge cuts of fish and they melt in your mouth I love that Vegas flies in fresh fish everyday. It's hella expensive but very worth it. I'd honestly just get several of the boxes next time. Service here is pretty slow and it'd be a while between them bringing out items. read more

My husband found this place on Instagram, and it did not disappoint. The fish was fresh (flown in from Kyoto), and the depth of flavors in the Uni Pasta and Kaizen Chirashi bowl were wonderful. The staff were kind and attentive and had great recommendations since it was our first time there. The owner took time to come by and make his own menu suggestions as well. It was evident he is passionate about creating a great restaurant experience. If you get a chance to check this place out, ask for Bayu! read more

On the heels of returning again this Saturday night for sushi with my husband, I cannot go another visit without giving a Shigotonin a shout out. The quality of the sashimi at this place is excellent! The taste of their homemade Japanese dishes is also excellent! I would say don't show up without a reservation. In the few times I have been here, regardless if we are eating early or later, midweek or weekend, the staff has to turn people away simply because they are solidly booked. The room itself is casual, has kind of sterile, squared off with sharp edges and dark walls ambiance. Bench seating and some chairs. Well spaced out. You order from a combination of a menu and also a menu board they will bring over with specials. Sashimi is our thing. Be it from the greats we experience Omakase style in Ginza, Tokyo or here in the unexpected location like Shigotonin in Las Vegas, we recognize quality when it hits our mouth and we know how it should be. And in the surge of "sushi" taking over in the US the last dozen years+, not everything is created equal. There is a lot of subpar options out there under the same flag as "sushi spots." Japanese food aficionado beware. Now as with all new spots over time, sometimes the quality slips, the ownership changes, the expectation alters. But Shigotonin is new to the Chinatown area and clearly I am not alone in my thoughts on their quality. They are in the spot light. Their price point is high (I would suspect the average person is maybe $50-$100 as Google indicates). My husband and I never get out of there under $300. But the quality of fish and homemade original cuisines is worth the price. Happy to have found this place and happy to be returning this Saturday....with a reservation of course. read more
Vegas just keeps blowing my mind with the amount of delicious food they have out here! I know they're typically known for their AYCE but I would have never expected top notch fish quality -- comparable to both Japan and Hawaii. I'm beyond grateful my friend put this place out there because I would have never found this without her suggestion. She was worried it was a bit too pricey but when you're on vacation, money is no issue (jk but we gotta treat ourselves every now and then) We thankfully didn't need a reservation and got seated right away. They explained the menu very thoroughly and showed pictures along the way! I think the owner did our table and he was absolutely adorable. You can see the pride he has in the food prepared. I ordered the Special Kaisen Chirashi Bowl and holy cow it was huge! Everyone else's was served in a bamboo square but I somehow got a gigantic bowl. Nonetheless, every bite was chefs kiss! The fish just melts in your mouth and the quality was the absolute best. We all loved everything and agreed it was worth every penny. read more

I have been awaiting the day !! And now I am here to write a lengthy explanation as to why this place is WORTH. Service? Impeccable, they were accommodating not only in respects of natural service but also went above and beyond and cooled our birthday cake we brought [mi madre's bday! ofc we shared some cake w the workers cus Well Deserved + join the festivities ] The FOOD : fresh. just plain and simple [right?!] and yet not always achieved. All the photos I upload were great to the palate. The variety from the sets and also the Uni Pasta was definitely very fine in taste - Nothing tasted fishy, well seasoned, different layers of taste within. I love a good agedashi tofu, so I thought to try a cold tofu with tenkasu - it was soooo gooooddd the garnishes were fresh and actually added more depth, whilst the crunch of the lil fried puffballs were also so good all together. the sets were both amazing, also!! the one w the seaweed??! the seaweed was also rlly good quality so i loved that especially! the other set was also just phenomenal because of the variety, like, you know when you get a set and the consistency is the same for practically every fish? this is NOT the case, every fish/seacreature was simply so good alone and shined on their own whilst all together on such a beautiful platter. ALSO BIGGGG shoutout to the owner and his wife!!! [he said she's a chef, and i just found that to be so endearing and exceptional!] he cracked some jokes and even gave my mom a shirt! such a wonderful place to spend for a birthday and truthfully the ambience actually is moreso good for various types of meetings it was a fine dine but also calming. there were couples and homies and just such a nice vibe. ++++ the tea was also reserved exceptionally w good timing!!! that is so importantttt - Hot Tea, perceptive servers big love to this place, i'm so glad i suggested it to my family - actually our first time as a whole going to a restaurant of this caliber : everything taste good to everyone read more
Dinner for 6 at 7pm! Location is easy to find, 20min drive from Las Vegas strip. Restaurant Ambiance was modern, open and welcoming. Staff were all friendly, accommodating and the master chef was wonderful! He came out to greet us at the end of our meal. Dinner was delicious and price for the quality and amount was very reasonable. Will definitely be back read more

Super fresh and high quality sushi! The restaurant is very nice and clean. The owner greeted us at our table and helped to explain the menu and specials to us. He is very passionate about his food! And rightfully so! Everything tastes great and is artfully presented. We ordered the regular Chirashi Bowl and the Special Kaiden Bowl. Both were excellent, and the latter is set apart by including more premium fish and roe. The rice underneath is soo tasty, being seasoned with a sweet, tangy, and savory mixture. I could eat the rice just by itself. When combined with the fish, the textures and flavors complement perfectly! You barely need to add soy sauce or anything else. They serve a pretty spicy and fresh wasabi that is good. The bowls are fairly large for one person too! Highly recommend! read more
This place really lives up to the hype!! Fresh quality fish, you definitely will leave here well-satisfied! This place has been on my bucket list for the longest and I'm glad I got to finally try this place out! Ordered the Sukura Box - Chu Toro that is embedded with a pile of 5-6 thick-cut tuna, topped with ikura and uni. Also ordered the uni ikura pasta, and it was AMAZING. This is definitely a must-order if you love uni! Super rich and creamy; you can definitely taste the uni flavoring. The noodles had the perfect chewy consistency. The hamachi carpaccio was paired with a sweet and tangy sauce that complimented well with the fish. To top off our meal, we ordered the tamago which really hit the spot. Service here is phenomenal. We were acknowledged by every single staff member, including the chef/owner who made his way to our table! Seriously, you've got to try this place out if you haven't! read more
Yelp Review 2023 #10: An update of my review from when they had their soft opening about two years ago. Shigotonin has easily been one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas (one of my top ten or top five even). Generous portions and thick slices of top quality fish that I have not seen anywhere else in town. Don't let the pricing scare you - their chirashi starts at $55 but you're getting a lot of food. The boxes (Hokkaido, Sakura, etc) are overflowing with a variety fresh fish under a bed of rice) that you probably won't be able to finish (if you get appetizers and other menu items). An order of one of their boxes will be enough to fill you up. But sometimes, gluttony is my sin of choice and end up over ordering and struggle to finish all the food but I will damn force myself to finish what's in front of me. Did I say the quality of the fish is superb? Oh, my, it can't get any better! The owner, whose name escapes me, is very personable. He goes around each table to explain the specials and even show you pictures from his phone what each dish looks like. A friend of mine pointed out their menu doesn't look like it was professionally made to which I said "who cares what the menu looks like? I'm not eating the menu. I'm here for the food!" They also have menu boards. Lately, they've been running low on uni and menu items that have uni on them have to subbed with caviar - not a bad substitution. As they reserve their uni for the uni pasta which is also an incredible dish. Our go-to dishes: Potato Salad Hokkaido Box (salmon, Ikura, scallops, crab) Sakura Ohtoro Box (bluefin ohtoro, negitoro, Ikura, uni) Sakura Chutoro Box (bluefin chutoro, negitoro, Ikura, uni) Salmon Aburi (I love torched sushi) Snow Crab and Uni Sushi Uni Pasta Grilled Squid Tuna with Sesame Sauce Salmon Baguette with Yuzu Aioli (holds a special place in my heart. This has been on their menu since day 1) I haven't even gotten to the service part yet. The 2 male servers are fantastic. They're always so busy but yet they're never frazzled and they're so patient with diners and all their questions and requests/ needs. I seriously need to get better with getting names of people from here. Is a reservation required? The crowd fluctuates here. I normally show up on a week night + Saturday night. Some nights, we're the first table of the evening. Some nights, all the tables are taken. I'm not a gambling person so, I always call ahead. Needless to say, I highly recommend this place even if it means they're going to get busy because of their perfect 5 stars. I'm willing to share this place I guess...as long as I can still get a table! read more
Shigotonin would be top of my list if looking for a place to eat at for special occasion and a unique/intimate dining experience. Owner was going around each table and was very informative when going over their specials for the day and showed us photos. Got their different kinds of toro sashimi and chirashi bowl and it did not miss. Their uni pasta was so tasty and creamy. The restaurant is spacious but not too much seating. Reservations are highly recommended, we got lucky with walk-in. read more
Came here for a celebration last night and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend making a reservation as we arrived at 6:30 for ours and it was already half full. The tables are evenly spread out amongst the dining room and each table had plenty of space in between so everyone could seat comfortably. We ordered a variety of food for 3 people, including tako wasabi (raw octopus) jidori chicken karaage, saba (mackerel, unagi roll (eel), chu toro (blue fin tuna) sashimi, fried scallops, grilled squid, uni pasta, and their daily special kaisen bowl. It was quite a bit of food but they come in tapas style so we were able to share and try everything. The fish selections were very fresh and the blue fin tuna was melt in your mouth amazing! Service is also top notch as they constantly check in to make sure everything is ok, and they decided to take care of the grilled squid for us since we had been waiting for a while. They also got the door for us as we were leaving and we could tell they truly value for great service! The only downside is that the menu is quite upscale and pricey, so be sure to check and make sure this is something for you before making your reservation. This place is a treat and can't wait to come back for next time! read more
Fresh sashimi at a reasonable price and big portions. Came here for a bachelorette dinner to splurge on some sushi. This was on the pricier side but not as expensive as an omakase meal. We had a party of 10 and we ordered too much food. My favorites were definitely the sashimi and the uni pasta. Every single dish was very solid and did not disappoint. My friends thoroughly enjoyed it and said we would for sure come back again! Overall, the price isn't as bad, and we love it. read more
If you want super fresh fish, love Japanese food, and are ready to splurge a bit shigotonin is a great option in China town. You can truly taste and see the difference in what they have that merits the price point. If you are hoping for meat options they are pretty limited and very pricey. The wagyu ran 85 last time we went. We have gone twice so far. Parking can be challenging, so give yourself time to find a spot. They automatically give you both grated and fresh wasabi and high quality soy sauce. My one lament is while they have a great selection of sakes, they have crap options for non alcoholic drinks. I think if a place is this elevated in their food, they should have beverages to match for those who cannot drink alcohol. read more

If you truly love fish and sushi this is the place to be. Every time I've come here, it's been amazing. It's a very intimate setting and reservations are basically needed if you want to eat here. The specials change on a daily. He (sorry don't know his name) shows us pictures of the fish on his iPhone so that we can see for ourselves what we are getting. Everything that I've ordered has been two thumbs up. The quality is amazing and the cuts are very generous in my opinion. If I could afford to eat here once a month, I totally would. I can't tell you how awesome it is, but you can see my pictures and just taste the fantasticness. Try this place out and you definitely won't regret it. read more

Our table was left speechless the moment we took our first bite. We've eaten sushi in Hawaii, Cali, and NYC. This is truly the best sushi we've ever had in the USA! Uni pasta is a must. My husband is normally not a big fan and yet he could have eaten a whole order by himself. Every detail from the condiments to the miso soup and fresh fish is out of this world. The servers were friendly, helpful, and quick. The owner came and checked on us twice. We will become regulars from now on! read more

I came here with my group of friends for dinner and it was simply amazing. The simple interior and the unique menu add up to such a unique dining experience that is different from most Japanese sushi restaurants. The sashimi and fish quality is without a doubt some of the best I've ever had in my life and you get a very generous amount of fish depending on what you order! The pricing here is on the higher end but the quality and service that you get here more than make up for it along with how much fish they give you. We ordered several dishes from the menu which the servers go into great detail of and they even show pictures of what you are ordering too which I think is a great idea! From the menu, we ordered the chutoro sashimi, ishikari miso soup, salmon carpaccio, & the special kaisen chirashi bowl. Everything was simply excellent. The miso soup was a pleasant surprise since there was loads of vegetables inside along with the salmon that they put in it provide such a richness that makes it way better than your typical miso soup. The carpaccio and the chutoro sashimi were absolutely delicious and some of the best quality fish I've ever had. The chirashi bowl was simply divine with loads of fish on top and the rice on the bottom complimenting the fish perfectly. It was one of the best chirashi bowls that I've personally had. Service here is an easy 5/5 with the staff being very friendly and consistently checking in on us to ensure our meal was going good. The atmosphere is relaxed as every table is enjoying their food and there isn't too much noise happening. The price is a bit on the higher side here so it's pretty easy to spend over $100 even with a group of 2. Our party of 4 spent around $300 for all of our dishes but it was so worth it in the end for what we got! I highly recommend coming here if you are a big fan of Japanese food and sushi. You will get a unique dining experience and taste some of the best fish you have ever had! read more
Always an epic meal eating here. We the inflation - the prices did go up as well. But still worth it especially going on special occasions or taking family friends for a great meal. I do recommend to make your reservation. Yes walk in is accepted but limited. Service is always great. Greeted by the owner. The wait staff has been there for the past two years and can assist you with selection from The menu. Let the owner show you the pictures on his phone- I still suggest he gets an iPad to see pictures better. What ever you get it's fresh and so good. Big cut of sashimi. I always enjoy the miso soup- it's not your regular miso soup. Be prepared to pay for a great meal. Highly recommend. read more
Not pictured is the uni pasta that I go back for allll the time but today we decided to try the mentaiko pasta (fish roe pasta)... which was also good and full of umami but the uni pasta is for sure my favorite dish on the menu! Service is always on point. A nice little whole in the wall restaurant locals love. We'll definitely be back read more

Food was fresh and delicious, once the servers found out we were from Hawaii they called the owner, Uncle Shugi to come and cruise with us. Everyone served us with Aloha and made us feel like family. Will definitely be back! read more
Lowkey and underrated!! This hidden Japanese tapas needs more recognition for the food they serve. They mainly serve small plates but each come with a decent portion that lets you taste its quality and flavoring. Everything from the tako wasa to special sushi box was fresh and lightly seasoned with sauces that could only compliment its natural flavors. The chef also recommended a certain sake pairing to balance out the dishes we ordered which I would definitely get again. The service was good, not much to highlight here. They go over the daily menu and break down any items you have questions about. The place is quite clean and open, also quiet for the most part unless it's a full house. I would try a new item every time I go just to taste all the special items they offer!! read more
I can see why this place was top 100 of Yelp. The quality is outstanding. The interior is clean and classy. The service is wonderful as well. I am someone who only ever gets house sake and know nothing about the different types. Our server was able to recommend one based on what tastes we wanted. We were also shown the specials (with pics) The quality of the fish was so good this is such a great spot. It's fairly small so I recommend getting a reservation! read more

I would have given this place a 4.5 as I wish they had more plant-based offerings. The ones we did try were just ok. Not bad. Not great. BUT I'm assuming you came here for fish and absolutely amazing fish they do have. I had the pleasure of tasting my friends' dishes and I truly wish I had ordered what they had. One had the chirashi and the other had the Hokkaido special. So fresh! So tasty! Perfect temperature as well. I'm coming back with the hubby on our next visit to Vegas together. Let me just say, we were impressed as the owner greeted us and pulled over two gigantic menu boards. He then thoroughly explained the menu by showing us pictures on his phone. He answered any questions and even gave us some suggestions. All the while smiling and kidding around with us. He was so funny. Our waiter was kind and very efficient. Service was impeccable. The decor is simple, dark, elegant. Right down to the expandable-when-watered wash towels. The vibe is very cool. read more

Very tempted to gate-keep Shigotonin, but alas, I think we've found our favorite sushi in all of Vegas! The owner flies in fish weekly from Toyosu fish market and the difference in quality really shows.. Just the buttery otoro and chu-toro bluefin tuna cuts take me back to travels in Japan- waking up dang near breakfast to grab the freshest fish from Tsukiji fish market. They have a revolving menu of specials, which is a nice plus, and we enjoyed the tasty fresh wasabi option as well. Excellent service here too, overall making this such a great experience. Highly highly recommend the next time you're craving sushi in LV! read more

The first word that comes to mind is: Quality. Shigotonin is an experience. Their fish is incredibly fresh, unlike anything we've have before! We ordered the following items: Grilled Kama (salmon) - For some reason my brain always has to order the hamachi kama whenever I see it on the menu. They had sadly run out of the hamachi kama but we still ordered the salmon kama instead. The salmon kama came out hot and freshly grilled. Delicious, but I'd definitely need to come back for their hamachi version! Otoro sakura box (special) - Wow okay now when I said quality, I mean QUALITY. The different cuts of tuna were fresh and fatty, a completely different level from any other tuna we've had in our entire lives. With the addition of the roe and uni, everything worked so nicely together on the bed of their special sushi rice. To be honest, my boyfriend and I are definitely not usually fancy people but we do love trying new interesting places. This was definitely a once in a while nicer date night restaurant for us, but well worth it for sure! read more

An easy 5 stars! What a meal. It's been awhile since we've been back to Shigotonin and let me tell you, the service was amazing! Thw restaurant was open and very clean. The owner greeted us, also sat down with us, and went over the menu to make sure we ordered the right thing. He explained what each dish were on the special menu! My boyfriend and I wanted to try a couple items on the menu. To start off we ordered the tamago which is a sweet egg and we also ordered the a5 wagyu. The tamago was good, but the a5 wagyu just melts in your mouth. Would definitely order again! So much flavor Along with the dishes beforehand, we ordered the famous Sakura box and uni pasta. The Sakura box consisted of chu-toro, uni, and ikura. Perfect combo and I highly recommend ordering it if you love seafood! The seafood was so fresh and well presented. The uni pasta was amazing too. Super creamy and filling. I will definitely come back here again to try more things on the menu. Service was great and the restaurant was roomy and not too loud. Im very much excited to go back. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening with reservations at 0645P to early celebrate my birthday. We were only a party of 2 but I had called to make a reservation, just in case. There were some tables occupied already but maybe by 715P-0730P, the restaurant was full. Shigotonin is located in the "new" Golden Plaza on Spring Mountain, near Jones, nearby U-SHABU, PIER 88, NAPAL BAJI, and other restaurants. We were promptly seated upon arrival and had a menu with the specials placed at our table as well as their regular book menu. The chef/owner comes by to EVERY TABLE with his iPhone, showing pictures of almost every special item they have. Emphasizes "very fresh" and "Hokkaido" a lot . Decided to try a variety of things..... Table is served with a small dish of pickled ginger, a small dish of grated wasabi, and a small dish of fresh "pickled" wasabi. SWEET SHRIMP MARINATED WITH SOY SAUCE - $15 - This was the first item ordered to arrive. Total 5 pieces of quite large, sweet shrimp marinated with soy sauce. Add a little wasabi and its delicious ! Savory from the soy sauce, naturally sweet from the shrimp, slight spice from the wasabi, slight tart from the "pickle" in the fresh wasabi. Delicious combination of flavors. The deep fried heads (2 pieces) were huge. Can't say they were the most thoroughly fried shrimp head I've had but still good. Lots of good tomalley in the head ! HOKKAIDO BAFUN UNI TEMAKI - $28 ea - Mild regrets ordering this one. Uni was delicious but price was bit steep for 4-5 "tongues" of uni EACH. The long strip of nori used to make the temaki provided an overwhelming flavor of nori that it essentially covered the uni flavor. Could have used a shorter strip and be more crispy SPECIAL HOKKAIDO BOX w/ salmon, snow crab, scallop, ikura - $50 - Large cuts of fatty salmon with huge pieces of scallop, few thin pieces of snow crab leg meat, topped with a few tongues of uni, and a TON of ikura over a bed of surprisingly NOT white sushi rice, but a rice I've never had before. Quite fragrant, purplish/red specked, with more texture than white rice. Delicious ! I wouldn't mind a bowl or two of that rice SPECIAL CHUTORO BOX w/ blue-fin chutoro (medium fatty), negitoro (chopped), lean (akami) tuna, uni, and ikura - $60 - 4 huge pieces of chutoro with a small pile of negitoro in the middle, on top of 4 pieces of lean tuna, over a bed of white sushi rice, COVERED in ikura again... BEST chutoro in town. FATTY, GLISTENING IN ROOM TEMPURATURE, MELT IN YOUR MOUTH GOODNESS ! Great deal for this box actually. The pieces of tuna are big. The mound of negitoro is well seasoned and goes great with rice. This box and the Hokkaido box is one of the few times where I wished I had more of the rice to eat everything with ! Wonder how much they'd charge for an extra bowl of either of the rices... GRILLED HAMACHI (yellowtail) KAMA - $20 - Big piece of FRESHLY grilled HOT hamachi kama that was fatty/juicy. It was nice to go between this and the previous two boxes as it helped balance the saltiness from all the ikura and just clean, grilled flavor. Simple ! GRILLED ANAGO - $15? - Anago is not something you see that often so I wanted to try this. They have this option where its purely grilled anago or made into a roll (like an unagi roll). Sadly this was nowhere near as fresh/hot as the grilled hamachi kama. This looked a bit sad. VERY soft meat though. Definitely wished it was hotter, almost felt like it was prepared and left forgotten to be delivered. Could have used some flake salt on top. UNI AND IKURA PASTA - $55 - VERY delicious creamy uni pasta with VERY AL DENTE pasta (oh my) topped with shredded nori, few tongues of uni anddddd you guessed it, MORE IKURA. The pasta itself was absolutely delicious and creamy. Definitely could have foregone the ikura on this dish. Definitely an accidental order to add ikura ..... Oops... Did NOT realize how much this restaurant gives in terms of IKURA. Both the previous two boxes had ikura DUMPED on top, and the pasta was COVERED in ikura eggs as well ! Never had I ever thought I'd actually wanted less... or maybe just more of that special rice in the Hokkaido box for me to eat everything in a balanced manner LOL (with the over abundance of ikura eggs, added a lot of saltiness) Definitely a place for high quality fish. Would definitely come back for the CHUTORO SAKURA BOX on special occasions and/or the UNI PASTA ! Highly recommended for special occasions or special people ! read more
Shigotonin has some of the best Japanese food in Vegas. Following other reviewers, we ordered: chutoro special box, salmon belly handroll, uni pasta, and the sweet potato and ice cream dessert. You can't go wrong with the chutoro box and the uni pasta, two of our favorite dishes ever. We'll also get the salmon miso next time we come. The service was wonderful as well. The owner of the restaurant came out to our table and personally introduced us to their menu. I love it when the staff recommends dishes to order. You can't miss at this restaurant. read more

Finally came back to this place after pandemic. They had a huge price jump during pandemic so I didnt really want to try afterwards. Quality of foods is still excellent. Fatty tuna (Otoro) is way more expensive than other places for sashimi but the chrashi bowl (sakura, Hokkaido etc) that I had was probably the best one in town. Eel roll was okay, I probably wouldnt get it next time. Chicken Karaage was average, as well. Overall portion was perfect, staffs and the owner were very nice. Sweet potato ice cream was pretty good but not sure if I would get it next time. I'd come back for chirashi and some other fresh foods like sashimi though. read more
The quality of the fish and seafood is high end. With that being said, you will pay high end prices. No AYCE here. I have been here twice now and enjoyed the food and company. The owner will stop by your table and show you the days specials as well as pictures of the dishes. I like that! Pictures will have me make a decission faster haha. You must try at least once if you are a sushi fan!! read more

Are they re-opened yet as of Feb 2026?
Any idea on when they will reopen? Does anyone know why they closed? This place is a MUST GO every time I'm in town 😭
It says 1/1/26
How long is the wait?
If you go early when they open there isn't a wait. For the weekends, I recommend calling to get a reservation.
My husband has a shellfish allergy. Does the restaurant practice shellfish precautions when needed?
Best to call... no way to know what they do in the kitchen.
Do I have to make a reservation?
