Nobu, at the Hard Rock, features great sushi and a very interesting menu of other Japanese cuisine.

We tried out Benihana's at the Hilton a couple weeks ago, it fun and decent food, and a pretty amazingly decorated restaurant, but not a much different experience than going to any other Benihana.
I avoid most strip sushi restaurants because they're so overpriced... The only trendy fushion places I've tried were Tao and Little Buddha, both which were great. I haven't had a bad sushi experience in Vegas yet though, every place has been pretty good. |

You crack me up sometimes...
Taste in food is subjective, however, there are several good food/restaurant review companies, such as Zagat, Frommer's, etc, and Nobu's is generally recognized as one of the best sushi / Japanese restaurant's in the entire U.S. Not sure if you are familiar with the Michelin Guide, but they are considered one of the top food review organizations in the world. To earn a Michelin Star is quite an honor. Only 15 restaurants in Las Vegas have ever earned a Michelin Star - Nobu is the only Japanese restaurant on that list. The founder and head chef Masaharu Morimoto, is world-reknown as a chef. He has won several titles as The Iron Chef (you may have seen him on TV). Here is Masa with Robert DeNiro (who co-own's a Nobu Restaurant in Manhattan, that I visited a few months ago - the food was excellent): ![]() Anyway, since you think Nobu's sushi rates so poorly, perhaps you can tell us of a better sushi restaurant in Vegas.

I like Todai in the Desert Passage, Planet Hollywood. It is a great Japanese buffet and not expensive.

I haven't eat there in a while but Cafe Wasabi on Sahara is perfect. They have terriyaki dishes for those who aren't down with raw fish and they make good mixed drinks, so if it's sill open it's a pretty good match for what you are looking for.
Nobu is over priced, but if you like more traditional sushi what they offer is good. I'm not a pureist when it comes to sushi- I'll eat the tempura fried, sauce covered rolls as much as anyone- but if you can appreciate a straight up piece of fish, Nobu does offer quality. You're still paying more for the Nobu name than you are for the food, but I wouldn't say it's crap. |

Almost all the places mentioned above are on the strip or in a TOURIST hotel... They are ALL over priced and the sushi is not that great.. I eat sushi 2-3 times a week and have eaten at most all the places here in vegas.. for me it's Sin City or a place called Spicy Tuna in Henderson.
Nobu has a rep among locals as being shit.. unless you want to throw money away.. just my 2 cents.. http://hubpages.com/hub/Henderson-NV-Sushi

![]() Too many Sushi places in Vegas to really say what is "best" but Makino? Seriously? LOL However, this thread is not just about Sushi places, it's also about Teppanyaki and there are not may of those in Las Vegas. http://www.geishasteakhouse.co.kr That's the place to go. I'm a fan of Benihana but Geisha is better, cheaper, and their Sushi was way better than I expected. Most of the Sushi I've had in Vegas is mediocre at best. |

Take it from a guy who lived in Japan, married into a Japanese family, and had a full-course, Japanese New Year's dinner yesterday.......Sushi on Tropicana is the bomb.
![]() They specialize in exotic rolls, nigiri sushi, and a full Japanese menu for folks that don't do the fish thing. They have plenty of good cold beer, sake and plum wine too. It is about 2 miles east of the Strip on Tropicana. All you can eat for about $30/person. Everybody that I have taken there returns for more. If you can't make the Trop location, the also have Sushi on Rainbow. |

Makino is not the only place for "All you can eat" sushi in vegas.. Most all the sushi places have "All you can Eat".. Makino used to have two locations but one went out of business now there is just one on decator & flamingo.. Been there.. It's ok.. not great.. Todi is a joke...And I know the owner from the bay area when I lived there.. He has a few places in and around the SF bay area that are great called "Sushi to Todi for".. but the place here in vegas is shit IMO..
Sushi on Tropicana is good.. been there a few times.. Sushi fever is also good..

I prefer I love Sushi off of Eastern/Green Valley. Won several Best of awards and is always packed.
Might be a little far away for what you're looking for though. Good 15 minutes from the strip. |

Ahhh, just came back from Sen of Japan (DI & Durango). This thread made me want sushi for dinner. Andre Agassi was there too... 3rd time I've seen him there. They even have a roll named after him hah.
If you're in the area, definitely check this place out. |

![]() ![]() Not saying that some Koreans can't make sushi better than some Japanese can make Kimchee and Korean barbeque, but seriously, you can't compare Geisha Steak House (a garish name for a Sushi bar) to Nobu's... Maybe because you are eating at cut-rate Korean sushi bar knock-off joints. ![]() ![]() If the issue is cheap, fake (imitation), Japanese food, you have me beat, but in terms of epicurean delights, please join me for lunch or dinner some time. Baddog dissed Nobu, but honestly I have dined there alongside many other GFYers (WEB Cory, JFK, Honez, etc), and they all had favorable reviews. I've been out with Baddog for fine Italian and Moroccan meals, and he can attest that I do set fairly high standards when it comes to food. In some ways I live a simple life, but I figure since eating and sleeping take up so much of a person's life, I try to eat the best food and sleep in the most comfortable place every night (most times at home).

I brought two people there today. One informed me as we were walking in the door that she did not really care for seafood. The other was more into tempura.

The last time I went to Nobu (July) was with Due and Jenni. This was after I introduced them to Gu Gu. Due looked at me after the first bite and said, "I know it isn't as good as Gu Gu, but it is better than what I can get at home."
I guess the point is, it is all relative. I had a girl from Sweden the other day tell me she just had sushi and it sucked for her now because she could only compare it to Gu Gu. |

Well, who can argue with gourmet strip mall sushi? BTW, Gu Gu literally means "loose material" or "miscellaneous ingredients" in Japanese, which is very unlikely a native Japanese person would name a restaurant. ![]() I am not a food snob, so I will be glad to eat at Gu Gu the next time I am down your way, and will give it a fair review, however, I stand by my initial claim, that Nobu provides exquisite, albeit expensive, excellent Japanese cuisine.

As far as strip malls are concerned, I used to be snobbish like that but in the last couple of years I have found that some of the best restaurants I have gone to have been in strip malls. No more paying for a view if I can get better elsewhere. and I did not say Nobu did not provide good Japanese cuisine, I said their sushi was so-so. |
