The dumpling appetizer is good, but the sushi was not high-quality and the yellowtail on top of one of our roles even had a funky texture. Felt like the ingredients in my other roll didn't blend well. Expected much more for the price. read more

Kevin was a phenomenal server. The Palomas were exquisite. Nigiri assortment and specialty rolls had the FRESHEST fish we've ever have ever had, and we are sushi lovers! Ambience was joyful and decor was beautiful. Have ALREADY recommended to friends. THANK YOU!! read more

I haven't written a Yelp review in years, but I had to share this one because SUSHISAMBA was such a phenomenal experience! My uncle, who has a discerning palate and very trustworthy recommendations, had been raving about it, so we decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad we did. The ambiance was beautiful, lively, and fun, and the food completely exceeded my expectations. I enjoy sushi, but SUSHISAMBA somehow fused so many of the flavors and textures I love into each bite. We had the Japanese A5 Kobe Gyoza (kabocha purée and sweet soy), the Samba Vegas (crispy rice, toro, yuzu tobiko, avocado, smoked chipotle mayo, and balsamic soy reduction), and the Chef's Inspiration Samba Sushi, which provided a lovely, more traditional sushi experience. Everything was delicious! We made a last-minute reservation for a light lunch before heading to the airport, and I'm so happy we did. If we hadn't been pressed for time, I would have wanted to try even more of the wonderful goodness on the menu! A special mahalo to Kris for his spot-on suggestions and for being so friendly and welcoming. He genuinely amplified an already lovely dining experience. This will definitely be a spot I'll be checking out again the next time I'm in Las Vegas. Such a fun and memorable meal! read more

Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Stumbled across this bar while I was in the Venetian and my sister and I were wanting to chill and grab a drink. We just pulled up to the bar and had a seat and was immediately helped. First off, I love the vibe that this place gives. It's kind of just in the middle of a walkway and it gives this vibe like you're sitting outdoors under a tree. I thought it was unique and I really liked that. We ordered the Nashi and the Lychee Cooler, which were both refreshing and on the sweeter side which is how we like our cocktails. Our bartenders were super friendly and great. Even at the bar you can still order food too, but we opted to just have a drink! There were other cocktails we were curious in trying too, so I guess that means we need to come again! read more

A little Japanese/Peruvian/Brazilian restaurant, we were overflow here from the karaoke place in Venetian - while we waited for space to open up, folks hung out at the large bar here and had a few drinks. They have a large seating area and private dining space in the back for events, too. Decor was a lot of wood and orange/red flowers and plants. They used to have one of these a long time ago in NYC (7th Ave) so the food was familiar, lots of mango and fruit inspired sushi and other dishes. read more

Located in the Grand Canal Shops at the Ventian & Palazzo Hotel. It's a Japanese-Peruvian-Brazilian Fusion restaurant. Awesome interior decor. We loved their Happy Hour menu! Because of our fellow Yelper's recommendations, we had the Rock Shrimp Tempura, which was just the right spice. And the Soft Shell Crab Slider was super delicious! The Salmon Avocado Rolls were great too. We saw the table next to us had The Pao De Queijo, we we had to get one too! Amazing with the butter! For Happy Hour drinks, my wife loved her Espresso Martini. My Mojito was on point. Our server Diana was super friendly and welcoming. Everyone on staff, including the hostess up front was always smiling. It is pricey, but their Happy Hour is worth it. When in the Venetian or heading to The Sphere, I definitely recommend stopping by. read more

Visited Sushi Samba for a late night dinner. The restaurant is a fusion of Japanese, Peruvian and Brazilian foods all designed to please your palette with exotic flavors. The restaurant is well turned out with the lighting and furniture. Staff were outstanding. Menu is diverse serving a variety of meats, but the speciality is of course seafood. I went with the Taste of Samba. A 5 course meal (built for 2 people), but they made an exception and allowed me to eat it as a solo diner. I am very thankful they did. It was delicious. The five courses were: 1. Appetizer: Edamame and Plantain Chips w/ Aji Amarillo (a delicious sauce for dipping) 2. Crispy Yellowtail Taquitos, Japanese A5 Kobe Gyoza in a Kenosha purée with sweet soy, a Baby Gem Salad w/ basil, miso and pistachio and a Salmon Tiraduto w/ kinkan honey, garlic ponzu and a garlic chip (all were good, but my favorite was the Salmon Tiraduto - delicious) 3. Sea Bass Anticucho w/ miso, Peruvian Corn (has a completely different texture than regular sweet corn but very interesting flavor and Filet Mignon Anticucho with Aji Panca (also all very good) 4. Tiger Maki made with King Crab, steamed shrimp and shrimp tempura along with wasabi mayo and beetroot yogurt and eel sauce as well as an assortment of Nigri. Tonight it was Tuna, Yellowtail and Salmon. 5. Dessert Course was Mochi. Soft Japanese Rice cakes filled with a variety of ice cream (tonight was strawberry, orange and pistachio. I did not care for the pistachio) along with a white ganache. Service was very good as well. The five course meal is $120.00 for 2. Not counting your drinks. It was definitely a favorite. This sampling gives you the opportunity to try a variety of flavors that perhaps you would not otherwise encounter. Don't be shy. Try the Taste of Samba 5 Course Meal. Enjoy!! read more

Came for drinks and some apps on a Saturday night around 11:30. The restaurant wasn't too busy. The vibes are so nice and very spacious. We were mostly there for their drinks but we did get some small apps. I ordered the tom yam (gin, cilantro, chili, lemongrass, lime leaf and ginger syrup). The flavors were soooo good. Who would have thought cilantro works so well in a cocktail. It really did have tom yum spice overall. For food we got the shishito peppers, edamame, and the Brazilian cheese bread. Everything was tasty. Service was really odd. It felt very pushy. We were constantly asked if we wanted more drinks and food even though we said we just wanted snacks and we were winding down for the night. read more

Sushisamba - Tom yum drink - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

As a self-proclaimed sushi snob... this place absolutely delivered. The sashimi was to die for. Seriously, some of the freshest I've had in a long time. It practically melted in my mouth, and every plate that came out was absolutely beautiful. If you've read any of my other reviews, you already know I judge restaurants by their dessert. So naturally... we ordered three desserts. Mind you, there were only two of us dining. No regrets... Every single one was incredible, but that warm cake with vanilla ice cream? I haven't stopped thinking about it. Between the amazing sashimi, incredible desserts, attentive service, and beautiful atmosphere, this place exceeded every expectation. It's the perfect spot for a date night or any excuse to treat yourself. My only complaint? I eventually had to stop eating! I'll definitely be back... and yes, I'll probably order three desserts again... read more

Sushi Samba is a fav of ours, especially when in Vegas staying at Palazzo. We made it for Happy Hour yay! The service is always A+ and their options are great. The restaurant bar is so pretty and chill and comfy to hang out in and people watch then go shopping after! Bar is never that full from what we have seen, it's easy to grab a couple of chairs. Happy hour menu was great, it had drinks and several food options. Def on the pricier side but the food is worth it. We tried the fried shrimp spicy and delish and a fried crab slider, also very good. I ordered the small glass of sake in the photos, it was so yum, not too sweet. My guy got the mojito they had and he said it was excellent. We would have tried more food but we had dinner reservations at another place a little while after. You have to visit and try their HH! read more

What a lovely time. The restaurant is gorgeous. Service AMAZING. There is tons of staff circling around to make sure you're always taken care off. Food was sooo tasty. My espresso martini was in the coolest glass ever. And the samba dancers with the drummers were the icing on the cake! Also they gave us free champagne to celebrate our anniversary which was such a nice touch. 10/10 experience. So glad we chose this place for our one night in Vegas read more

Tasty but pricey! This is definitely an occasion dinner for us. The interior is super cool and the place is gigantic. We usually sit in the main area you see in the front but we got taken to another large area in the back. Service was excellent and food came out perfect. If you have room in the budget and a party of 4, I recommend the cocktail tree it's so fun! Drink: - Lychee Cooler cocktail - yummy and sweet, comes with a lychee on top and a large green leaf shooting up Dinner: - JAPANESE A5 KOBE GYOZA* - soooo good and worth it to try - Shishito Peppers - always a good idea for apps - CHURRASCO RIO GRANDE* - yummy tasty steak with dipping sauces and other good stuff - SAMBA VEGAS roll - fish on top of crispy rice, good but overpriced - NEO TOKYO* roll - has tuna and super good our fave read more

Definitely the right choice for a late night happy hour! After seeing a show at the sphere, we wanted a quick bite. Quick, easy and delicious! We were there for the reverse happy hour, and the bar was winding down for the evening so we were happy that we were able to sit at the bar and enjoy the stunning golden tree for my food photos. Service was fast. read more

First night in Vegas and we had to come here since it has been my favorite in the past and always a great way to start the trip off right. I feel like most restaurants in Las Vegas it is always a maze to find and this one is a little more on the hidden side since it isn't around a ton of things. We were easily able to get a reservations and got sat over in the back area towards the sushi bar. It wasn't super crowded even for a Friday night and we just ordered a few different items because we were not starving. I remember them having some other sushi rolls or something in prior visits that I didn't see on the menu this time but things change. We enjoyed some drinks and decided to keep it simple and had a great time. See you again next time! read more

This place is located inside the Palazzo side at the Venetian hotel. The restaurant is huge and has a very nice ambiance. I came on a Thursday evening and it was so busy. I got the miso soup, steak, grilled fish, asparagus, wagyu gyoza and yellowtail tacos. Everything was delicious! I particularly love the fish, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I am a huge fan of the Peruvian and Japanese flavours mix. Their dishes are perfect for sharing and the option to try a bit of everything. The service was quick and the food came out really fast given how busy it was. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. read more

Stumbled on this sushi place on our way back from the Backstreet Boys concert and so happy that we did. The server/bartender was extremely welcoming despite it being close to closing time. They were quick with water refills, food came out extremely quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. The baby gem lettuce was definitely the highlight. The pesto/pistachio sauce was to die for. You could tell everything was great quality. They also have a late night happy hour from 11-12 which we just missed as we ordered just before 11, but would definitely stop back for late night happy hour another time! read more

Went here right before the bsb concert and it seemed to be a popular choice! SushiSamba was such a great experience in Las Vegas! The atmosphere was also amazing--fun, energetic, and perfect for a night out in Vegas. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for great food, drinks, and a fun atmosphere! read more

If I lived in Vegas I would live here. The 3 times I've been in Vegas this year I go here at LEAST once and bring/tell all of my friends. Their sea bass skewers are to die for. I get them everytime! Their sushi rolls are also unique and delicious. They have a different martini or drink of the month and always have the most different flavors that all end up being delicious. The service is always quick. I love sitting at the bar where the tree is. It makes you feel like you're in a different place, and not in the Canal shoppes. Can't recommend this place enough!! read more

We hadn't been to the Las Vegas Sushisamba location in a while, so my family and I were excited to come back and give it another try. From the moment we arrived, we had a wonderful experience with great service, friendly staff, and an amazing atmosphere. We started with the edamame, shishito peppers, and miso soup, then enjoyed a variety of sushi rolls including the Asevichado and Tiger Maki specialty rolls, along with classics like salmon avocado, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura rolls. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious. One thing I especially appreciated was how family-friendly it was. We had a 7-year-old and a 12-year-old with us, and the kids menu was such a great option. My 7-year-old ordered the chicken teriyaki, which came with rice, salad, and the cutest ice cream cookie sandwich. It was even served in a little boat, which she loved! The chicken was incredibly juicy and high quality, honestly one of the best kids' meals I've ever seen. My 12-year-old niece ordered the salmon teriyaki and loved it as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from the food to the service to the ambience. We had a great time and will definitely be back! read more

Sushi was ok and service not so great. We showed up ten minutes before happy hour. Bar staff took our order. 10 minutes later another person handed us happy hour menu. We should have waited to order. Then my husband wanted to order wings however the same guy told us it was too late and that he had already said last call. This was false. Then he said he would see what he could do. So not only did they not offer us happy hour when we were 10 minutes away, they took order and then claimed it was last call and we had missed it. Obviously their way to charge you full price right before 11:00 at night. Also says happy hour starts at 11:00 to closing. They clearly wanted to clean up and go home. Bad way to get us to come back unfortunately. read more

Sushisamba is on the pricier side, but is one of the few places where I can honestly say the food is well worth the price tag. My friends all agreed, and we are very particular when it comes to good sushi. We ordered a bunch of different things as we were a fairly large group, ranging from ramen and chicken dishes to the raw stuff. I had the pleasure of trying: -Asevichado Roll: So many types of fish on one roll. Every bite was delicious. I wish it was a slightly larger roll, because I didn't want it to end. -Shrimp Tempura Handroll: A simple, basic handroll, mbut a good size and good flavor. The shrimp was perfectly fried. -Coconut Matcha Sour (gin): If you like sweet, tropical tasting drinks, this is incredible. It's definitely more of a dessert type cocktail but it paired so nicely with the sushi rolls. It is light on the matcha, and very coconut forward. I personally loved it. -Hamapeño Roll: They warned us that the sauce was spicy and I loved the kick it gave to the roll. This was my favorite roll from what I tried. I didn't find it too spicy at all. The first plantain balanced the roll perfectly. -Yuzu Shots (gin): Fun, not too potent to get down. These were unique and tasty. They came in a cool tasting tree. Other notes: -Our server was fantastic and helped us celebrate a fun night for a friend. -The ambiance and decor is sophisticated and modern. Great for a date night. -Bathrooms: So clean and the bathroom attendant was so helpful and well, attentive. read more

Amazing restaurant! Love the look and feel of this establishment. The hostess was very nice and gave us a great table.

Ambiance: Restaurant was a lot larger than expected. You could come in jeans with a cute top or come in a dress - both fit the ambiance. It's a little loud in there especially when they do their performance which seemed to happen every hour Service: Service was good. Nothing really to note. Food: Almost everything we got were great! The sea bass is what they're known for & now I get why. It was delicious along with the type of corn. All of the sushi we got were great (asevichado was my fav). the crispy taquitos were also tasty. out of everything we ordered, the rock shrimp was my least fav read more

OSHA states you must have hearing protection above 85 db for exposure above an hour. Well this place smokes the hearing of their staff and anyone else that is there for a meal. It was so loud I downloaded a db recorder. My wife and I believe it was not as loud when I recorded this as it was during our first 30 minutes of hazardous noise exposure. The food was good, not great. The ambiance was horrible . Crazy loud . Was told this is normal by waiter "like Carnival in Rio". Don't waste your time or your money or your voice. $160 meal for two and table next to us was screaming at each other to be heard. I can't emphasize enough not to go. If you want to pretend you're at a concert - go. read more

I was so excited to finally get to try this place out. Sushisamba is located inside the Venetian. I was excited to see how they would bring in the cultural flavors of 3 countries into their mix ( Japan, Brazil and Peru) Two hungry adults before going to the Sphere ordered: - Pao de queijo: If you ever had Brazilian cheese bread, this is what it is. What made this one of my favorite dishes was the honey truffle butter. I wish I could have gotten the exact recipe for this because it was truly outstanding. ($10) - We ordered two rolls. The spicy tuna ($12) and the salmon avocado rolls ($11). Both rolls were decent. We were not expecting a full order but little to say we were more than happy to eat them since they were delicious and fresh. The spicy tuna roll was our favorite of the two. - One order of the assorted vegetable tempura. This was my least favorite dish only because I wasnt a fan of the mushroom and the napa like vegetable that was in the mix was very difficult to eat. We did enjoy the Peruvian pepper dipping sauce. ($11) - One order of the yellow tail tiradito with lemongrass and jalapeno. MMMMmmm this was FRESH!! Highly recommend an order of this. ($10) - One old fashion cocktail ($14) You know I love me an old fashion. I was excited to try it with Iwai Japanese whisky. The ice ball was crystal clear, the taste was strong and it gave me a really nice buzz to be honest. It was delicious and would totally order again. The staff was attentive and always made sure we had water and that our food was tasting great. It was all brought out as it was done since we were told by our lovely waitress that they have 3 kitchens! The mood of the place is chill and has a nice vibe for a date night, girls night or even just for you to go and enjoy by yourself. It wasn't loud, it was clean and had plenty of seating. Highly recommended to make reservations if you have a larger party. I would love to come back and try more items off their menu. Great happy hour aka Samba hour!!

I haven't been here in a long time, but remembered the food was really good, so I decided to come in for a quick meal in between gambling sessions. I came around 3pm and had a seat at the bar for their sambahour happy hour. Came on a Tuesday, so it wasn't busy at all. I love an old fashioned and the one here is really good. Japanese whiskey they use is pretty good and the drink was nicely mixed by the bartender. Just the right amount of sweetness and really refreshing. For the food, I got the gyoza, crispy yellowtail taquitos, pork ribs, and spicy tuna sushi. Food wasn't spectacular, but was all really tasty. Pork ribs were especially tasty and fall off the bone tender. It's the happy hour menu, so the portions were obviously not that big. However, I ate all of these by myself and was surprisingly full. Total was around $78 before tip, so it is still a little more on the expensive side. However, bartenders were nice and friendly and the food and drinks were pretty good. read more
