    Back in Vegas and my eating spree is officially back in effect. First stop on the list was TARU Sushi. One of my besties actually found this amazing spot and I was so excited because we definitely have the same taste when it comes to food. The restaurant itself is spacious, modern, and the service was super friendly. Now let's talk about the food... OMG, we ordered SO much and every single bite tasted incredibly fresh Favorites? The Suzuki, salmon belly, creamy uni pasta that was rich but not heavy at all, mussels, cucumber salad, uni, and the seared salmon with tobiko. Every dish just kept getting better and better. Safe to say... I LOVE this restaurant and already want to go back for more. Definitely coming here again

    The sushi is so fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. Service was outstanding. We came for our anniversary and enjoyed the low lighting and romantic vibe.

    We are back again and I'm sure John won't remember us. We car late at night after concerts few months back and had wonderful service by John and excellent sashimi. This time we are back since we fed the kids and wife craving for a great sushi. Ordered Shaginiyan platter and uni pasta to share including oyster. All was marvelous and tasty. This place can get busy and super busy but the 2 host/server maintain all spectacularly. I do feel bad for them running around and even though we waited the good side we get sake for free that keep flowing while we wait so no harm done. They know how to take care their customers. Give this a try and you will be amazed how great their food is. This place screams great first date ambiance. It's so romantics with plenty of drinks to choose from and of course John is the master mixer.

    Really enjoy eating at Taru. Service is great especially John. They do a great job making what you request. We wanted light on the rice with our fish pieces.

    Uni pasta

    We decided to visit Taru on a whim on a random Thursday night. We were seated immediately upon arrival and were greeted by a very nice server whose name I now no longer recall. I am so sorry. I ordered an old fashioned which took a little bit longer to come out. As a result of that, the server made it super special and turned it into a smoked old fashioned. What a nice touch/service recovery. Everything we had here was divine as shown on the pictures. The sushi was fresh and the oysters, albeit being tiny, packed so much flavor. The Uni pasta was interesting, but in a good way. I would say the price point is truly warranted because of the quality of the fish and other dishes, as well as the exemplary service that is provided during the meal. The server even asked for our names and shook our hands as we were about to leave. I hope that Taru stays in business for a long, long time. We will be back to support, no doubt.

    We checked out Taru for the first time last weekend. The ambience is great for date night vibes. The staff is warm, attentive, ajd knowledgeable. We opted for the spicy margarita, half dozen raw oysters, pork belly, chicken thigh, and short rib skewers, mussels and clams, and an assortment of nigeri. The oysters and nigeri were some of the best I've had in Vegas so far. A great sushi spot when you want to dine off the strip!

    We came before the BSB concert on Sunday at like 530 surprisingly it wasn't more full here. We got seated right away and ordered hot tea. They have a really extensive menu and we had settled on a few things to order. We got the truffle salmon sashimi, chu toro roll, winter flower roll, creamy salmon, koki wrap, soft shell crab roll. The highlights were the truffle salmons sashimi, chu toro roll and the koki wrap. All the rolls didn't have too much rice which was excellent but some of them weren't that many pieces. We weren't super hungry but some didn't get to try some rolls. Total for 5 w/tax & tip:$280

    10 piece nigiri

    Tried Taru and it was really good! Very fresh, tasty and clean food. The 10 piece nigiri, Ala carte sushi ( 2 piece min) were all delicious! Joon, thank you for nice service. Only complaint was miso soup came out lukewarm- should be very hot. We will be back again for sure!

    Located off the strip but worth a short drive. Probably some of the best sushi I've tried. Very fresh fish. Highly recommend smoked sashimi appetizer. 5/5. We tried a few different rolls, sashimi salad, miso soup and finished the dinner with green tea tempura ice cream. All very good. Restaurant itself is a beautiful venue with contemporary interior design, open concept kitchen and lovely lighting fixtures. Service was great, helpful and genuine. We will be back when visiting Vegas. Many thanks for the yummy dinner and hospitality!

    Another good sushi place in Vegas. Chinatown that is not all you can eat. They have great selection of sushi and sashimi - good quality of fish. They also had some Japanese pasta dish - the uni pasta is pretty good. They have good cocktails and Japanese beer selection. Server is great and helpful. Place is big and not crowded. Ample of parking sharing the Macys lot.

    It's not every day you stumble upon a brand-new sushi spot that instantly earns a place on your favorites list--but that's exactly what happened when I visited this somewhat newly opened sushi restaurant on Spring Mountain Road. Nestled among the vibrant mix of Asian eateries in the area, this place is already setting itself apart with super fresh ingredients, artful presentation, and a team that clearly knows (and loves) what they're doing. Let's start with the ambiance. The interior is modern, minimalist, and warm, with subtle wood accents and soft lighting that creates a calming, Zen-like vibe without feeling too formal or cold. You immediately get the sense that this is a space where both quality and experience matter. Whether you're out for a relaxed dinner with friends or a quiet sushi date, the setting strikes a perfect balance between casual comfort and upscale presentation. There's bar seating if you want to watch the sushi chefs in action, and it's worth it--the precision and care they take with each roll is truly mesmerizing. But the regular tables are just as comfortable and give you a great view of the beautiful plating that comes to your table. Now, onto the star of the show: the sushi. Every piece of fish we had was unbelievably fresh--clean, buttery, and rich in flavor without a hint of fishiness. You can taste the difference immediately. We started with a simple yet elegant sashimi platter, and each slice (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallop) was immaculate in cut, temperature, and texture. The tuna practically melted in my mouth, and the scallop was sweet and delicately briny in all the right ways. From there, we tried a few signature rolls, and they blew us away. One featured spicy tuna topped with seared salmon and a tangy yuzu drizzle--it was a flavor bomb in the best way. Another standout was their house special with unagi, avocado, and tempura flakes, delivering the perfect balance of creamy, crispy, and smoky. Even the rice--which is so often overlooked--was perfectly seasoned and just the right temperature. That attention to detail really speaks to the restaurant's commitment to quality. We also tried a miso soup and a small plate of shishito peppers while waiting, and both were great touches that made the experience feel even more complete. We highly recommend this sushi restaurant to sushi lovers !

They give you the cutest little woven basket to carry while you shop, which makes the whole experience feel extra charming and whimsical. I ended up getting at least one of almost everything to share with my family, and the egg with shiso leaf onigiri was my favorite. Everything else we tried was great as well. Chamon will definitely stay on my list of places to revisit whenever I'm back in Las Vegas. It's also absolutely worth making the trip off the Strip for.

    I eat a lot of high end and izakaya type Japanese food, all through out US and Japan. I was not…read moresuper impressed by the food here. I came 45 min before opening for lunch on a Friday. I was 9th in line. I've came here twice and first time the negitoro bowl with the uni and crab was sold out for that day. The negitoro bowl honestly tasted worse than it looked. It just tasted bitter and bland, no sweet fresh ocean taste like other chirashi bowls I've had. Maybe it was the egg yolk soy sauce that ruined the flavor for me. It just did not taste like high quality ingredients. I even got extra crab. It was half a crab leg for $6. The snow crab honestly tasted no better than the frozen grocery store stuff, nothing like the fresh stuff from a proper sushi place. The first time, I tried a tempura bowl. It was good, more authentic than most Japanese places in the states, but not super amazing like I need to go back to eat it again. The best food here is their onigiri. The variations and recipes can top the ones found in Japan, very authentic. They do put a little too much rice so you get full fast and can't try too many. They do not keep very well and you need to eat them same day because the rice hardens in the fridge or the fish starts stinking and goes bad! So pick your poison if you wanna buy a lot. The other stuff is not worth standing in line for if you've had authentic Japanese food in Japan or in another bigger city with top notch sushi or fresh fish. I'm from LA and the tempura at Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr in LA is better. There is better fish and rice to be found in LA too like the quality is similar to Sugar Fish and KazuNori. These are very easy to get into spots in LA you don't need to stand in line so I'm surprised to find the crazy hype here. I admit the presentation is nice and the shop's vibes feel very much like you've been transported to Japan. But the cooking quality and flavors are only slightly above average. 3 stars for the cooked food. 4 stars for onigiri. I probably will never come back again now I've tried their signature dishes and see that it's mediocre. The food is not worth the lines it has at all, especially if you're from a big city with good Japanese restaurants. Maybe come here for the Japan nostalgia and vibes or if you've never had authentic Japanese food. If you want to splurge, apparently Kabuto across strip mall parking lot nearby is VERY good. Top 3-5 omakase in the country.

    I visited Hachi in Las Vegas with my family for my birthday celebration, and this dinner definitely…read moreturned into a night to remember. My family made a reservation because they wanted to celebrate my birthday, so I was really looking forward to it. When it is your birthday, even a small detail feels a little more important. You want the night to feel special, smooth, and happy from the beginning. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there seemed to be a small issue with the reservation, and the table we were given was much smaller than expected. Since we were there as a family for a birthday dinner, it felt uncomfortable at first. I have to be honest -- my mood was not great in the beginning. It was one of those moments where you think, "Oh no, is this how the night is going to start?" But then the food started coming out, and Hachi completely turned the night around. The first thing that changed my mood was the beer. The draft beer was served in an unbelievably icy-cold mug. It was not just cold -- it looked and felt like it had come straight out of a freezer. The foam was smooth, the beer was crisp, and the first sip was so refreshing that I almost forgot I had been upset a few minutes earlier. That beer alone deserves applause. Sometimes a perfect cold beer can fix a whole mood, and this one absolutely did. The biggest highlight of the night was the tuna toro. It was incredible. The texture was so soft and delicate that it almost felt like cotton candy melting in my mouth. Rich, buttery, fresh, and so smooth. It was the kind of bite that makes everyone at the table stop talking for a second. We loved it so much that we ordered it three times. Ordering the same dish three times says everything. It was not a maybe. It was not a "let's think about it." It was a clear yes every time. The skewers were also very good. The grilled meats had a nice smoky flavor, and they were seasoned well without being too salty. They paired perfectly with the icy beer. But the shrimp skewer was especially memorable. The shrimp had that perfect bouncy, juicy texture. It was grilled nicely, still tender, and full of natural sweetness. Some grilled shrimp can become dry or forgettable, but this one had personality. Small skewer, big impact. We also enjoyed several other izakaya-style dishes. The grilled shishito peppers with bonito flakes were simple but delicious, and they helped balance out the richer dishes. The grilled squid had a great smoky flavor and a chewy texture that went so well with beer. These are exactly the kinds of dishes that make izakaya dining so fun -- one bite, one sip, one more bite, and suddenly the table is full of happy people. The sashimi platter was fresh and beautifully served over ice. There was a nice variety, including tuna, salmon, white fish, scallop, and ikura. Everything looked clean and fresh, and the presentation made it feel even more enjoyable. But honestly, the toro was the star. I will probably remember that toro for a long time. My daughter ordered tonkatsu, and that was also a huge hit. Sometimes at restaurants like this, kids' dishes can feel like an afterthought, but this tonkatsu was really good. It was crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. Seeing my daughter enjoy her food made my birthday dinner even better. As a mom, when your child eats well and is happy, the whole meal suddenly feels more peaceful. That is just the truth. Overall, Hachi started with a little frustration because of the reservation issue and the small table, but the food and drinks completely saved the night. The icy-cold beer, the amazing tuna toro, the juicy shrimp skewer, and the tonkatsu were all memorable. The food was strong enough to make us forget the rough beginning, and by the end of the meal, we were all happy. Las Vegas has so many flashy restaurants, but Hachi has that casual, comfortable izakaya charm. It is the kind of place where you order many small dishes, share with the table, drink something cold, and let the night slowly become fun. I would definitely come back next time I am in Las Vegas. Next time, I already know what I am ordering first: an icy-cold beer and tuna toro. And honestly, I may order the toro twice from the beginning, because one order is definitely not enough.
