    I am usually very selective with my 5 stars but this place well deserved it. The spicy edamame and crab baked mussels were delicious and some of the best we've had. The hand rolls were all delicious and had an abundance of fish in them. Lastly, my son had ramen that could rival some of the better ramen spots we've eaten at. All in all, this was a great experience not to be missed.

    The hand rolls for 8/10 Service was great. Ambiance didn't give off like an Asian vibe. Felt like I was at a PTs bar or something lol but it's ok if u want to stop by for some hand rolls! We have negi halibut, truffle salmon (twice!, my bf rlly liked the truffle), spicy tuna, negi toro (my fav!), yuzu scallop (also my fav!), salmon spicy (not spicy).

    This was our first time in here and it was a random night after volleyball practice. It was Happy Hour! Happy Hour is from 2p-4p and 7p to close. We had the following: Takoyaki - my daughter loves the takoyaki here and she always gets it anytime and anywhere she sees it on the menu. There was a lot of chunks of octopus in them and it's not all breading. This was my daughter's top item she ate tonight Garlic Uni Pasta - this was my favorite for the night! The Happy hour size was the perfect serving for my daughter and I to share. It was delicious. It was creamy, savory, and a little spicy. It was an explosion of flavors all in one dish! 1/2 dozen oysters - ALWAYS A HIT! it was super fresh Spicy tuna hand roll - my daughter said it was good but mediocre in comparison to the Uni Yuzu Scallop Hand Roll...which was definitely worth getting. Uni Yuzu Scallop Hand Roll - our favorite Hand roll for the night. I'd have this again! Another burst of flavor between the masago, yuzu, Uni, and scallops¡ Nego Toro Hand Roll - this was delicious! I love ang negitoro rolls I eat, but this one was so fresh. I would get this again. Yuzu Ice Cream - I love yuzu everything and the yuzu flavor in this ice cream is strong and I love it! I will come here again! Their Happy Hour items are the best!

    Add The Nori to your list of Las Vegas restaurants to visit NOW! I've had them bookmarked for a few months and would come across IG reels highlighting this restaurant. The temaki rolls are what sold us on making time to come here during a recent Vegas trip. The staff Billy was awesome! We were the first customers of the day and he greeted and seated us right away. He is full of personality and full of great hospitality. In our conversations, he mentioned he grew up in the SGV, which built a nice connection for us during this dining experience. Thery are most know for their Temaki options. Their handrolls are placed in a seaweed wrap with two plastics you pull apart as to preserve the freshness and keep the seaweed crisp. The menu offers an array of starters, soups, sashimi, specialty rolls, crudo bar and cut rolls. We ended up ordering "The Nori Lover" temaki set which was 5 pieces and also ordered the Blue Crab Rainbow Roll. Each set comes with a miso soup and Billy even another miso on the house. Once the dishes delivered the aesthetics of the presentation was amazing. It's easy to take great photos when the food already looks great. The freshness in all the Temaki was visually apparent. The Blue Crab Rainbow Roll was on the best options. Anything with blue crab is always appetizing. Every single Temaki was good! You are also given a soy sauce dropper as to now drench each handroll. We had a 5/5 experience during the early lunch hours. When the dishes match what you see online and taste great, you can't help but want to recommend it to others. We would come back again no questions asked. The selections would make you want to try as must as you could handle. The Nori delivered on all it's hype and delivered high quality service! Thanks, The Nori! ( ^_^)b

    Service was excellent. Our waiter was very friendly and checked on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. We came in for an early dinner around 6 PM, so the restaurant was still pretty empty. My husband and I both ordered the Nori Lover, and everything was good. The salmon tasted very fresh, and the blue crab was flavorful. But just like the first time we ate here, my favorite was still the eggplant. I also really enjoyed the music. It had such a Gen X vibe, which made the experience even better. The only thing I think could be improved is the rice. It was cold, almost like it came straight from the fridge. I would have preferred it lukewarm. Overall, we had a really nice meal and great service.

    Kristie N.

    Food was good but what makes this establishment a great place is the service. Billy was extremely attentive, easy going, and a pleasure to talk with. I would recommend if you are craving any type of sushi/hand roll situation.

    Came here for my daughter's 10th birthday lunch as she was craving their octopus carpaccio. Unfortunately they were out of it but we ordered so much more and enjoyed everything! This is probably our 6th time coming here and the food and atmosphere is very consistent. I actually discovered this place from order Uber Eats and was super impressed that I felt like it was a necessity to come in person. Since then, my sister and I have been coming to this place if we are ever on this side of town since we literally live on the opposite side of Las Vegas. I can't express how amazing the wait staff and chef were today, I mentioned it being my daughters birthday and they went above and beyond to make this something she will remember, truly an unreasonable hospitality experience. They brought out a desert, appetizer, and another dish on the house because they were out of the octopus carpaccio (no biggie)! Now, I was so into eating our lunch that I didn't get pics of everything we ordered lol! We got Nori lover set (5 different items, all delicious, Salmon mango Carpaccio, hamachi carpaccio, nori crunch roll, half a dozen oysters, pork Kimchee fried rice, uni pasta, and 2 alcoholic beverages (they do not skimp out on the alcohol according to my brother in law, lol)! We came during happy hour from 2-4 so we got to try a bunch of things!! They also gave us an amazing truffle toro dish on the house, literally to die for!! Here's what I would definitely order again: the nori lover set, all the different carpaccios, the uni pasta, oysters, the drinks, and the specialty dish that was on the house! Now here's my rating: Service: 5/5 Food Quality: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Thank you again, The Nori Team!! We will definitely keep coming back

    Daily HAPPY HOUR!!!! They only have only HH deals on food and not drinks. In order of my favorite would be the negi otoro, hamachi carpaccio, popcorn chicken, uni shooter, hamachi kama and oysters. I'm more of a fan of the smaller oysters. Overall food was great and so was service.

    Nice cozy spot with a large open space. Was greeted immediately and seated by my waiter. They suggested great options on the menu and got the premium temaki set which is affordable for what you get. Sake ikura, Yuzu scallop, spicy tuna, negi Toro, and miso eggplant. They have a cute trashcan as well for for disposables and the soysauce is in a dropper which is fun!

    Wow, I looked for a seafood tank in the back to explain how fresh the fish was. So many menus in different places. Some hidden at the bar, behind you, or covered by the counter. Good service but we're the only ones there for the great happy hour. Definitely more expensive and significantly higher quality than AYCE places. Left at about $150 for two. Great uni. Quiet atmosphere. I liked the handrolls but they take a little practice to not make a mess. It's like a sushi taco you have to remove the plastic from the taco holder while balancing the ingredients. Fun times and will return.

    Dakota T.

    Amazing place. The amount of thought that went into every single dish is astonishing. The miso soup - homemade, shoyu sauce (3 types - homemade), even the thought of keeping the nori still wrapped in plastic to keep the nori crunchy is amazing. The fish was of also good quality and overall was truly impressed with the place. Will definitely come again. The server even made a mocktail for my aunty because they didn't have any on the menu.

    Uni yuzu scallop & negitoro

    We came for the Happy Hour on a Monday and had a great meal here! My boyfriend and I ordered: UNI yuzu scallop Half dozen oysters Brussels sprouts Garlic tuna Spicy tuna Yuzu scallop Truffle toro Blue crab Salmon spicy Negitoro Hamachi kama Omgosh everything was so delish we smashed everything together and did not have leftovers. My favorite is the yuzu scallop we got 3 of those! Also worth mentioning is the hamachi kama which tasted like butter!!! If you like cooked white fish then this will be up your alley. Diego was our server and he was so attentive to us. Billy was kind enough to offer us some free miso soup as it was the end of the night for them. The ambiance is nice and quiet, it was cold and they turned off the fan for me. I'd definitely come back here again!

    We came back as a group probably 4 times in a one week period. Lunch and dinner time. All the servers were great. Place is clean. Floor well kept. Light at a good brightness. Loudness is perfect- great for convo but not too loud that youre yelling. This place gets so busy in evenings and weekends but service is so quick, it's a non issue. Billy is the best though. Most hardworking. Attentive. Aware. Personable. Radiates genuine happiness. Efficient. Great attitude. The sushi chef, Jeremy was so nice. (Sorry I meant to write this review last mo but life got in the way). His knife skills. His flavor pairings. Generous portions. Personable. Funny character. Seems to also really enjoy what he does. I wanna gatekeep so bad bc youre my favorite in vegas. I wanna keep yall to myself. but yall are just so good, I cant help but tell everyone about yall Cant wait to see yall again!! See you in a month

    What time is happy hour?

    Happy Hour is Sunday-Thursday from 3pm-4pm and 8pm-close.

    Is this real Japanese sushi?

    What is real for you?

    Is anything shellfish allergy friendly?

    Everything is prepared at the same counter

    When is there best time to go? I want to avoid a long wait

    I went in at 11:30 and there were 3 parties including ours. I'd say before 1:30.

    Do you serve natto?

    They currently have Natto & Quail Egg on the Specials of the Day as of 2/4/2023

Fortunately, the wait was only about 10 minutes, which was surprisingly quick. I ordered the soft-shell crab, baked green mussels, and BBQ ribs with steamed rice. My son ordered the yoshu ramen and fried rice. The food came out fairly quickly, but I noticed that the baked mussels never arrived. When I asked our waitress about it, she said the kitchen was backed up. However, after waiting more than 30 minutes and already finishing the rest of our meal, it felt like the order may have simply been forgotten. What disappointed me most was the lack of an apology. The waitress even asked if I still wanted the mussels at that point. I was ready to cancel the order, but Kyo stepped in and tried to make things right. Thanks to his efforts, the mussels arrived about 10 minutes later. Unfortunately, when the mussels finally arrived, I was disappointed again. They were prepared very differently from the baked green mussels I'm used to getting at restaurants in Los Angeles. They were quite spicy, which wasn't mentioned, and the flavor just wasn't what I expected. After waiting more than 40 minutes for them, they definitely weren't worth the wait. Overall, the food was decent, and the restaurant was busy and energetic, but the service mishap and the disappointing mussels left me with mixed feelings about the experience. I do appreciate Kyo's effort to make things right, as he was the one bright spot in an otherwise frustrating situation.

Not the best, but good enough for its price. The staff will make you feel at home, great customer service. *This place is better at sashimi and simple fish cuts (not carpaccio, suacey more westernized stuff), appetizers, grilled proteins, fish protein bowls, some soups.* Their yakitori is not for us. If want to see if our standards/levels match your tastebuds? I explained where we are on that spectrum. They increased their prices on some items but not all of them. $6 Sapporo Draft nos vs was $4 drafts. Salmon and eggs is our #1 favorite dish was $12. It's now $15 and called Salmon bowl. Whole grilled squid $12 now. Hibachi Kama (Collar) was delicious and hefty. Suggested by the manager/owner. Now $20. Grilled Freshwater Eel was $13, now $15. Small Sashimi Set $35. Shisamo $8. Oden (fish cake) soup now $15. Still a favorite dish when feeling sick, unwell. Tako Wasabi $4. Grilled Flounder with delicious pepper sauce. Ika Natto $5 Our standards: Coastal big city non-Japanese descent ppl privileged to be around enough typical Japanese food, a city with a decent size Japanese communit(ities) within the it. Our expectations usually is by price, we're not elevated foodie type for fancier dining experiences unless it's for the entertainment of it, etc. We like city versions of hole in the wall, ghetto fab, semi-purist, daily casual and sometimes clearner types of food. So this place fits the daily casual place to eat at. If you're looking for more perfection in dishes, there's tons of other places to line up and pay higher prices for in Vegas. For those coastal city ppl even coming from NY NY, where the norm for casual/mid tier least westernized sushi places costing easily $100ish per person (less than $100 per person), this place could be an alternative for you. Ppl coming from big city super suburbs, towns/no where towns (local vegas is more of a town, not city) then of course this place will be awesome no matter what due to lack of resources and exposure in one's area. Shoutout to the team who makes it worth it to constantly visit, make us feel at ease and special with take outs to welcoming tourist friends/family...Noelle, Dillon, Natalia, Sophia!! Thank you!!

I don't think they are usually this busy though, as they were definitely understaffed that evening. Service was consistent throughout the night, and the servers were cheerful and doing their best to take care of everyone. The restaurants design is very relaxed, with some optional bar seating to watch the chefs cook and roast the skewers, with additional options for booths. After 10 PM, they offer a happy hour special with $5 hand rolls, cheap drinks, and basically half off of all their skewers, potatoes, and small bites. On the particular evening that we went, either they were extra busy and had too much customers from CES... but they ran out of sushi rice and did not have any hand rolls....How does a Japanese restaurant run out of rice??? We were super disappointed and ended up just getting skewers. Itzakaya Tora, you definitely need to step up your game and have better management in the future for these big events. I don't think they are that new of a restaurant, but they definitely let me down. Chicken and pork skewers ($2 per skewer, 7/10) - super juicy! You can definitely taste the charcoal and barbecue flavor. They do a great job of keeping each skewer, moist and juicy, that I didn't feel like I was eating burnt skewers like you get at some other restaurants. - $2 per skewer is pretty good for the happy hour deal, but I think it's much more expensive during the regular menu option. Don't think it would be particularly worth it with their regular menu. Overall, super disappointed that they didn't have any more of their sushi, rice and best do not have any $5 hand rolls during their happy hour. Also, the wait was super long to get in, and they were definitely understaffed. If they had all their food selections available, this would probably be a higher rating, but the long weight and lack of menu items was super disappointing.

I have come by for happy hour multiple times which is when they do these $5 hand rolls, I could be wrong but I believe they are $5. I recall getting yellowtail and it's delicious. Izakaya Tora is a Japanese restaurant off of paradise really close to the strip and the sphere. It is fairly small, but they have non ayce sushi which does = higher prices but better quality. They have a pretty large menu of kitchen items, sake and drinks, and sushi and sashimi. At this visit we shared a scallop crudo that we liked, a yellowtail crudo that we loved, lamb chops were good, and I believe three rolls. One of the rolls we didn't like because they make the srirachi in house which was more sweet than spicy, but the others were good. I do like this place but it is not a quick stop type of place. It's a spot you come and hang out and take your time. Food can take some time but worth it with the quality and taste. It is also not cheap so more a quality over quantity situation. Service can be a little slow but pleasant. Overall I do like this spot for happy hour if I want a late night drink and bite of sushi.

We spent almost $190 for two people, and no customer spending that kind of money should ever be treated this way. Her behavior completely ruined the experience for us. Because of the way she treated us, I will never come back or recommend this place to anyone. Management seriously needs to do something about the front desk staff.

    Shigotonin is a delightful discovery off the Vegas strip (but may as well be on the strip…read moreconsidering the taste and quality of food here) in a small plaza. Chef Shuji runs the restaurant with his wife next to him in the kitchen. The fish here is flown in from Japan and of the highest quality as you can see from the sheen and fat marbling. The tuna melts in your mouth and bite after bite is a wonderful experience as you pair it with soy sauce, fresh Wasabi, yuzu Wasabi, or some combination of the condiments provided. This is also the first sushi restaurant I have ever been to that automatically brings out fresh Wasabi without having to ask. The portions are generous and we left feeling very satisfied. Even though we were very full, we took a look at the dessert menu. Not pictured here is a sweet potato with ice cream and brown sugar glaze. This dish on the menu was unassuming but the taste was so decadent. Quite possibly the best and sweetest sweet potato I have ever tasted. The chef slowly roasts them over a 2 hour period, rotating the potatoes every so slightly every 15 minutes. The sweet potato could be a dessert by itself, it was that good! Chef Shuji is a charming and funny host. He regularly comes out to greet his customers and makes sure they are enjoying their meal, very high-touch. If you know Japanese - even if it's just a few phrases, speak with him as he will be delighted. He was absolutely tickled when we said arigato and he shared that he is originally from Kyoto. Cannot wait to return to Shigotonin!

    Yummm. A splurge, but worth it…read more Their sakura box was delicious, as was their uni pasta. Service is nice and thorough and the boss man came to check in and chat with us.

    **Overall: 4.75 Stars**…read more Imagine omakase but with a show. That's what you get here at Kyara Sake Bar. I went to Kyara on a date, but it wasn't the quiet or romantic kind of place I thought it'd be. Kyara had great service but they visit you every few minutes and explain things before each dish and they may cook something in front of you or show you the fish (like the actual real whole fish from the same catch you'd be eating)! When we were about to be served the wagyu beef dish, we were shown the certificate and our server explained all about the cow. I felt like I knew all about Bertha and joked that we just went through her photo album and yearbook. Like how was I supposed to eat Bertha now?!! Aiyahhhhh. Kyara may not be the romantic type of restaurant, but it was more memorable and more of an experience! It had may "wow" moments.

    If you're looking for a Omakase intimate setting, this place is it. We arrived at 830ish- no wait…read moreand were greeted and seated by a friendly young man. We had a choice for bar or table and we chose table. It was tucked in a corner so it felt intimate for me and husband. Menu was filled with some of our faves and some new things we never tried. Skewers were great esp the Wagyu- it was so good and tender. We enjoyed the agadashi tofu with was one of our faves here. Food was overall delicious and you can taste the freshness of the fish. We def want to come back and experience their dinner specials. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area
