I've been coming to Wazuzu every time I'm in Vegas and it's one of the spots I always end up going back to. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and way better than it needs to be for a hotel restaurant. Some of the dishes I keep coming back to are the crispy orange beef, Mongolian beef, sushi rolls, and the noodles. Everything always comes out with really good flavor and never tastes rushed or bland. You can tell they care about the quality, because even the simpler dishes still taste really clean and fresh. It's just one of those reliable Vegas meals for me. Good energy, good food, and a menu that actually has a lot of things worth ordering. read more

My soul dumpling had a giant piece of plastic inside it. The restaurant chef tried to say it was a shrimp shell. If not for that, it's one of the best wonton soups I've tried. read more

Big variety and bold flavors in a fun, lively spot Had a meal at Wazuzu with a mix of rolls, seafood noodles, siu mai, dumplings, and curry. Everything came out with really bold, satisfying flavors and a nice variety across dishes. The sushi rolls were fresh and well-balanced, not overly heavy with sauce. The seafood noodles were comforting and rich, with a good depth of flavor from the broth and seafood. The siu mai and dumplings were nicely steamed and flavorful. great for sharing and snacking between bites. The curry added a nice warming, savory element that tied everything together. Service was attentive and quick, especially considering how busy the restaurant felt. The vibe is energetic and lively, with a bit of a fun, modern Asian fusion feel. definitely more upbeat than a quiet dining experience, which makes it great for groups or a casual, social meal. Would come back again to try more of the menu, especially the dim sum and noodle dishes. read more

The food was great, unfortunately I went close to closing (within a half hour) but I was by myself. So I was sat quickly and the food was filling and delicious. I ordered the shu mai, crispy Brussels and the drunken noodles. All were great and the crispy Brussels were awesome. Will go again. read more

Wazuzu - Great food! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Wazuzu is fine. It's pricey for what you get (professional service, pleasant enough space open to a walkway, loud-ish) and the food is - well, not as good as the best place in my hayseed hometown - let alone a worldly cosmopolis like Las Vegas, Nevada. If you're hungry and Wazuzu is convenient, go for it - but it's not a "special" place and you can do MUCH better a short Uber ride off the Strip. read more

Great decor (Crystal Dragon) and vibe, delicious sushi and Asian dishes, fast and friendly service by staff. Come early if you're super hungry and put your name on the waitlist as this place does not take reservations. read more

Went to Wazuzu at the Wynn and had a really solid experience. The restaurant is beautiful and has that upscale feel. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and the spinach roll and both were really good. Food came out fresh and flavorful, and there are definitely more things on the menu I want to try next time. Only downside was there was a dog barking in the restaurant, which kind of took away from the vibe. I love dogs, but in a setting like that it was a little distracting. The manager handled it quickly and moved us to another table without any issue. Staff was attentive and made sure everything else went smoothly. Because of the service and the food, I would definitely go back and try more dishes read more

Great food and ambience. Nicely designed/themed restaurant overlooking the casino, there is always a line but hardly a wait. We arrived without an appointment and looking for some small bites, we were seated within a few minutes. The service and good were excellent. We ordered some sashimi, a spicy tuna roll, and the giant prawns. All of the dishes were 5/5. read more

Friendly service! The Miso soup had a heavy portion of mushrooms but otherwise had great flavor. The dumplings were soft/crispy on the right places, very enjoyable. The lo mein was my favorite dish. Our entrees ended up coming before the sushi rolls, so we cancelled them but it worked out! It was two of us & the portions were large we didn't finish either entree. Overall good experience & would return. Obviously really convenient & easy if you're staying at one of the connected properties. read more

Dined with the wife on a Saturday night; they (somewhat famously) don't take reservations so we checked in at the hostess stand at about 6:30 and were told the wait was 30-45 minutes. Pretty standard on the weekend. They text you when your table is ready so you don't have to hang around the restaurant. The most important thing to keep in mind about Wazuzu is that it's listed on the Wynn website under their "Casual Dining" designation. If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine there I recommend Wing Lei or Mizumi (both are outstanding). Some of the lower reviews on Yelp seem to be missing that aspect. Once we received the text for our table we were greeted by a friendly hostess who sat us at a table right under the beautiful crystal dragon art piece. The tables are well-spaced for a relatively small restaurant and it's definitely a boisterous and bright environment. Our server Marvin was very attentive - water glasses were refilled constantly and place settings were replaced after each course. We started with the chicken spring rolls and the crispy Brussels sprouts. We really loved the sprouts - they were crispy as advertised and well seasoned. The spring rolls were good - they're served in a lettuce cup which makes for a refreshing contrast between the fried wrapper and the fresh veggies. I also ordered the uni sushi (I'm an uni fanatic) and it was super fresh and tasty. For entrees we shared the drunken noodles, the bibimbap and the sea bass. My wife always loves the drunken noodles here and these were very flavorful. Again this is an Asian- fusion restaurant (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese etc. are all represented on the menu) so we know going in not to compare the noodles to Lotus of Siam's version. We also really enjoyed the bibimbap - the crispy rice layer on the bottom adds great texture to the spicy flavors. The sea bass was good except about 75% of it was slightly overcooked. This is such a delicate fish that it's easy to go from perfect texture to dry in a matter of seconds and unfortunately that happened here. Really my only complaint about the meal. Dinner for two came to $232 before tax and tip which included a carafe of sake and a to-go order of Pad Thai for our kid at home. For the quality of service and ingredients we were more than satisfied when we left and even had some yummy leftovers to bring home. read more

Wazuzu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This was an.... experience. My husband and I decided to dine here during our last visit to Vegas (to see the Backstreet Boys yay!!). We did not make a reservation, but they had a table for 2 after a brief wait. That was no issue as we walked around and took pictures of the hotel. Upon our arrival for seating, it gave off a "fancy" vibe - at least fancier than the Asian Fusion/Sushi restaurants I have dined at in Milwaukee or Chicago. However, upon entry into the dinning area, I noticed the tables were very close together and it was quite loud. That was fine - we were not looking for an intimate dining experience. After we placed our drink order, a very large group arrived. Very large. An entire children's soccer (football for the rest of the world) team and their parents large. The children were seated at one table with one, maybe two, adults. The parents/other adults were seated at the table adjacent to ours. Everything went from loud, but under control, to complete chaos. The children (ages 6-10ish) were screaming and running around the restaurant. One child climbed up the back on the other side of my table and was licking the gold vase. Yes, licking. Like a dog. There was the vibe of expectation that the staff were to babysit this table of extremely misbehaved, privileged children. The parents could not be bothered as they sipped their martinis and ate their sushi. Everyone near me (tables of strangers, including myself) began expressing feelings of disgust and anger over the entire situation. The waitstaff was no longer able to accommodate the dinners and we tried to leave after we finished our meal; however, it took 30 minutes to get our check. It felt like pure torture. The ONLY saving grace was how delicious the food was, and that the staff personally apologized to every table. I wish they would have just said there was no availability that evening knowing they were having this huge group instead of letting us dine. People.... DO NOT BRING CHILDREN TO A FANCY SUSHI RESTURANT. That is all. read more

Came here with some coworkers during a work trip and food was awesome. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and felt intimate and quiet for a casino restaurant. No wait at the time we went. The drinks were awesome and they had very good tequila and mezcal options. The chips and guacamole were tasty and not oily and felt fresh made. Salsa was r too spicy. I ordered the shirt rib which was perfect cooked and so tender I didn't even need a knife to cut it. All in all great option for dinner if staying at Wynn. read more

Wazuzu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I really enjoyed my experience at Wazuzu. Their Drunken Noodles with beef were a standout-- the noodles tasted freshly made, with a perfect chew, and the beef was exceptionally tender. You can truly taste the quality of the beef, which adds depth and richness to the dish's overall flavor. The appetizers were just as impressive. The Peking Duck Bao Bun was flavorful and well-balanced, making it a must-try. I also highly recommend the Panang Curry served with rice--it's rich, aromatic, and an excellent choice if you enjoy bold, comforting flavors. Overall, Wazuzu delivers high-quality food with great execution. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal. Other recommendations do not go on holiday, the waitlist can be really long since the restaurant does not take reservations. read more

Came and got a stir fried drunken noodle with beef that ended up being not a drunken noodle. It's more like the beef chow fun in Hong Kong cafe's without the punch of flavor. Service was fast however and it's centrally located right on the side of the casino. read more

On a recent visit to Vegas we stayed at Encore and needed a good lunch option on our last day before a late check-out and heading to the airport. We had already had our fill of steak and Italian on the trip, so Cantonese sounded perfect, and Wazuzu delivered. One big plus: Wazuzu is walk-up only, so you do not need reservations. We arrived a few minutes before the 11:30 a.m. opening and got the first table. Within 30 minutes the place was completely full, which tells you a lot. Our waiter was awesome, super friendly, and happy to walk us through the menu. We followed his recommendations and ordered the pork and shrimp pot stickers and the drunken noodles with shrimp. Both were outstanding and easily our favorites of the meal. We also tried the sea bass, which was a very close second and definitely worth ordering. The setting is great, right off the Encore casino, and all of the food tasted fresh and was very well prepared. I highly recommend Wazuzu if you are looking for a casual lunch or easy dining option at Encore or Wynn. read more

Easy one of THE BEST restaurants in the entire Las Vegas strip! It's no wonder this spot has been open and still exists despite its long tenure at the Encore hotel! The drunken noodles are a delicious favorite you have to order as well as the toro hand rolls! Service is fantastic and responsive and the ambiance is always happening! You can thank me later... read more

Amazing ambiance in the heart of Encore. Beautiful decor, good service. We did t have reservations but were seated within 30 mins on a busy Sunday, so no complaints. The Mongolian Beef was DIVINE! Pair it was a side or two of jasmine rice and boom a meal for two or three is set. We also had the Drunken Noodles and they were anything but that. Dry and burnt tasting. We still ate it because we were hungry but not good at all. Also, the noodles are not traditional Ke Mao Noodles. These were something else. A hard pass for next time.. However, we will definitely be back for that Mongolian Beef! You should too! Cheers to good times Yelpers xx read more

Wish we had something like Wazuzu in Los Angeles. The Kalbi roll is my favorite - light, crunchy, fresh, and meaty. The shrimp tempura was light and crispy. We also enjoyed the drunken noodles and fried rice. Chocolate bao was also tasty. I went to La thinking about Wazuzu everyday until I came back a month later lol. read more

Pretty good last minute option in the Wynn. Wazuzu is walk-ins only, doesn't have a dress code, and was able to take 6 of us on a Sunday relatively quickly. Given we wanted to eat in the next 30 minutes (and my cousin didn't like the idea of Mexican food) this was our best option and it was good. At 5:55pm they estimated a 30-40 minute wait. I got a text at 6:15, missed it and the 10-minute window they gave us to claim the table, got there right after a text came through saying our table was released, and luckily they were still able to seat us. Our server was very attentive and nice, seemed be around just often enough. He's very efficient and professional. Spoke both English and Mandarin, helpful for my family members in town who don't know much English. At the end I asked for an extra gold paper straw for my daughter and he went into the kitchen just to get one for us. We were also able to get plastic to-go cups with lids for the unfinished watermelon juice. DRINKS * Watermelon juice - 4 stars. Tasty, and I didn't think extra sugar was added, seemed all natural. * Spirit animal cocktail - 4 stars, my partner enjoyed. * Kimarite Margarita - 4 stars, nice kick of spice, and quite strong while not being overpowering. FOOD * Roti Canai - 4.5 stars. Super tasty and flaky roti. Kids loved it we got an extra order of just the bread. * Chicken fried rice - 3 stars. Kids enjoyed, and that's why we ordered it. The chicken was quite dry and rubbery. * Korean short ribs - 4 stars. Really tasty, there is quite a bit of cartilege & fat on them. Nice presentation, comes out over a small flame with some smoke so it's still cooking when it reaches the table. * Breaded & fried shrimp (not sure of exact dish) - 3.5 stars. Shrimp were big and seemed pretty fresh. Breading was not very crisp. Careful of the pepper slices, I mistook one for scallion and it was really spicy! * Sea Bass - 3.5 stars. Great flavor, a tad on the dry side. read more

One of the best Chinese/Asian spots in Vegas. Absolutely love their food ranging from appetizers to entrees. The cucumber salad was great, I also enjoyed the Thai chicken salad. The sushi options were decent, may not be the best sushi joint in Vegas but has decent and quality options! They have a great selection of Dim Sum too and all the ones I had were great (shu mu, pot stickers, etc). The restaurant has a higher end ambiance but it can get quite busy and loud given its Vegas. It's beautiful inside and gladly it's not "club vibes" like many restaurants are aiming for in recent years. It's also a great place to feed the kids! My favorite dish this last time around was the Mongolian beef, but they have so many options you have to visite more than once to try them! Great service as well, fast, efficient, and know the menu very well and give great recommendations. read more

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Las Vegas. It's a great combination of Chinese food and sushi with a great atmosphere. It's both upscale but casual at the same time which I love their spicy tuna hand roll classic Style is an absolute must but you can't go wrong with the orange chicken and chow mein either read more

Wazuzu has beautiful decor. The glass dragon alone is worth seeing! They don't take reservations, so you have to put your name down and wait. No strollers, no luggage, no pool attire. The rock shrimp and black cod are standouts, though the menu leans more Western-style than traditional Asian and is over priced. Overall, great flavors in a gorgeous setting. Staff are friendly and great service. I found the lady hostess at check in to be rude and not welcoming and was an absolute turn off for our experience. Considering we came here 3 days in a row, we were disappointed by her attitude. read more

Our server, Tara was amazing! The food here is always phenomenal, but the service is over the top! Even the manager, John comes by and checks on everything... he doesn't just talk about the food, he actually engages you as a human being. You're not just another number. They definitely go out of their way to make every experience memorable, even if you're just coming for a quick lunch. No reservations in this place! It gets busy early and for good reason. Outstanding service and incredibly delicious food. There is really no presence of a casino directly outside of the restaurant. It's almost as if you're being transported somewhere private. Definitely will recommend the Toro tacos! read more

Ate here with my coworkers while we were in Vegas for Shot Show 2026. Overall the service was the shining star of the evening. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu making several great recommendations. We tried a number of sushi and sashimi dishes and all we were well composed and flavorful. In reality though, most of the dishes were a bit one note with heat being the predominant flavor profile for the majority of what we tried causing the proteins to get lost in the mix. In typical Vegas fashion these days, it's also a bit on the pricey side with most 8 pc rolls coming in well above $25-$30 each. The great news is that we did not leave feeling stuffed! I would definitely go back again but would rather try something a little different if sushi is the primary focus for the night. read more

I was expecting an elevated dining experience and it was just okay. I felt like all the food was pretty basic and not worth what they charge. Started with the black truffle egg drop soup and it was super light with the slightest hint of truffle. Other than that, it tasted like a salted broth and wasn't super flavorful or even had much egg. The roasted duck pineapple fried rice and gai lan were okay - cooked well but didn't have a lot of flavor to them either. The best dish was the chilean sea bass, steamed with ginger scallion. The meat was delicate and tender and pretty typical of what you would get a Chinese restaurant. Overall unfortunately not impressed. Maybe they're more known for their sushi instead of cooked foods? read more

Ambiance is great, service is "usually" really good but this time around.... Omg the food was so salty haha! Maybe it was just an off night but after dinner I needed bottles of water to let it settle out. Good menu options so maybe I just got unlucky during my visit. Would still recommend as long as whatever I experienced doesn't happen to someone else. read more

Let me just say--I dream about this restaurant. If it were up to me, I'd dine here 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Realistically, my wallet (and probably my diet) wouldn't survive... but honestly, I'd take that risk for Wazuzu. I absolutely love this place. Every time I visit Las Vegas, it's both my first and last stop--non-negotiable. I have to start by recognizing one of their standout employees, Andrew. He truly elevates the entire experience. His warm smile and vibrant personality light up the restaurant, and he has a way of making you feel instantly comfortable and at home. His level of service is unmatched. The ambiance is fantastic, the food is even better, and the cocktails deserve their own spotlight. My go-to is the lychee martini, and they nail it every single time. It's so good I almost always end up ordering a second--sometimes even a third. This is hands down the BEST Asian restaurant I've ever experienced--and I've tried a lot. Not a single dish disappoints, and the consistency is impressive. You can truly taste the care and effort in every bite. Bravo to the kitchen. Honestly, everything on the menu is a 100/10, but if I had to highlight a few must-tries: Lucky Dragon, Hamachi Chili Sashimi, Thai Chicken Salad, Tom Yum Soup (be mindful of the spice levels--I go for level 3 and it still packs a punch), Har Gow, Sizzling Wagyu Truffle Fried Rice, Short Rib Bibimbap, Drunken Noodles with shrimp, Wok-Tossed Mongolian Beef, Kalbi Short Ribs, and for dessert--do not skip the Thai Crêpe. You know the food is incredible when you don't even think about taking pictures--you just dive right in. read more

Lunch on a whim brought us to Wazuzu. ATMOSPHERE: Located in Encore, the quaint eatery has a striking glass or crystal dragon perched on the back wall. Seating is very limited so wait times can be long. Views are of the casino. RESERVATIONS: Not sure if they're taken but we had about a 75 minute wait for lunch on NYE without a reservation. MENU: Sushi, Chinese/Thai/Japanese selections. Full bar including sake. FOOD: Black Truffle Egg Drop Soup Big enough for two to share. Delicately savory and fairly hearty bowl of scrambled-in egg, fresh truffles, bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms. Pan Fried Soup Dumplings (3 pcs.) Not as soupy as others we've had but still very good. Thicker wrapper, moist pork filling and a little soup inside that will squirt out if you're not careful. Beef & Broccoli Tender meat and firm broccoli finished in a dark, savory and garlicky sauce. Tasty, traditional recipe. Salt and Pepper Prawns Ingredient simplicity makes this dish shine. Fairly crisp batter and perfectly seasoned. Cantonese Chicken Lo Mein Big portion good enough for four to share. Flavoring was mainstream and chicken chunks were moist. Pricey for a noodle dish. SERVICE: Host service was efficient. Texting system worked well and they even phoned when the table was ready. Waitstaff were professional. Food delivery took a while. OVERALL: Intimate selection of popular Chinese dishes. If you want the real deal authentic stuff, look outside of The Strip. read more

Excellent drunken noodle. I also tried Ha GAO and Yellowtail hand roll. Everything was super good. Located right inside the Encore it's one of my go to places when at this resort. Of course the price is insane but that's to be expected in Vegas. Service is excellent and the place is decorated very nicely. I recommend this place for Asian fusion food, if you don't want to get off the strip and venture out too far. read more

You know, honestly this place was pretty dang good. Nothing super super special or unique, but some good, solid Chinese food. We got a few different items such as bao, dumplings, pho, noodles, and sushi. Everything was quite delicious! I don't think the was super top quality but it was pretty dang good!

This restaurant doesn't do reservations, they have a text message system of telling you when your table is ready. It is also the closest restaurant to the poker rooms, so it can get busy. Went for a late dinner, so there was no wait. Service was good. As with pretty much any casino restaurant, the prices are much higher for items you can get in Chinatown or any other good local restaurant. The trade off is the convenience and maybe the quality and presentation. We split a bowl of tonkstsu ramen. Then some nigiri and hand roll sushi. The nigiri was tasty bigger portions of fish than at typical AYCE places. The premium hand rolls were excellent. We even decided to have chocolate bar for dessert. A good meal for sure... we always choose Wazuzu when we're at Encore or Wynn. read more

The restaurant is located just off the casino floor at the Encore. They use a SMS text system to message you when your table is ready. Having dinner here with the wife. Service is very good here from the hostess to the waiters and busboys. They are very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. The decor had a nice modern Asian fusion vibe. Food was very good. We had the Cantonese Sea Bass, Thai Basil Beef Stir Fry and the Choy sum vegetables. The sea bass was steamed and had a very nice buttery flavor. We ordered the Thai Basil Beef Str Fry to be medium spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. Flavor was good but it had no spice. Lastly the Choy Sum vegetables were stir fried lightly with a nice garlic oil and were nicely crunchy. Overall a solid four star dinner! read more

Wazuzu - Edamame and Leche martini - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I come to eat here EVERY SINGLE TIME I stay in the Wynn or Encore. I consider it my treat. Honestly as in this casino in general you may see a star or too just have to look around. That being said -- it is a chinese restaurant and I adore it. Likely because I adore the service here... Winnie is my absolutely favorite servers but a lot are good. A LOT of the dishes have fish sauce. Just be aware. Even the soy sauce is house made with fish sauce. The soup dumplings were amazing. Bite into them with the flavor that spills and almost pops out... so good! The Crispy Orange Beef is awesome. I keep trying other things and end up always coming back to this crisp but tender amazingly seasoned beef in an orange sauce. I just cannot get enough of it. I don't get it with rice but I could see how others would like it. Drunken Noodles are okay. Definitely had to add extra spice. Pretty average so I will keep to my Thai places back home for this one. The raspberry lychee sorbet is out of this world. Winny is a great server like super fantastic. Lorena is a great server super fantastic as well... very helpful. Definitely give this place a shot. Very clean. Very appropriate and you can still watch the casino activity while you eat! read more
