Not only does this list include the best spots on the Las Vegas Strip, but there are off-the-strip locations that are some of the local chefs’ favorite spots!

This post is all about the Best Japanese Food in Las Vegas

1. Sen of Japan

Japanese food is known for being fresh and flavorful, but it’s hard to find a place that actually cooks with quality ingredients.

Luckily we’ve found just the spot: Sen of Japan! Chef Nakano Hiromi has cooked at some high-end restaurants like NOBU in Las Vegas before founding his own venture where he creates authentic dishes made from scratch every day using only organic produce when possible – all under one roof!

His menu includes options such as chicken karaage (grilled) or beef tongue sizzling on skewers served alongside miso soup; don’t forget about all of that sushi, either.

2. Kaiseki Yuzu

In a city where you can find any cuisine your heart desires, it’s not hard to believe that there is another restaurant that specializes in Japanese food. Chef Kaoru Azeuchi knows the secret behind his dishes and how each ingredient must be used perfectly for this style of cooking – all while maintaining an elegant atmosphere with Western influences like décor or wine pairing options.

A veteran chef who once served as a private chef at Emperor Napoleon himself has set up shop right here in Las Vegas and has achieved excellence.

His menu celebrates seasonality; every bite tells its own story about what we should eat today (or tomorrow). You won’t find anything pre-made nor does he skimp on any fresh ingredients.

3. Kame Omakase

If you’re looking for a great omakase sushi experience, you have a lot of options, but it can be hard to know which one is right for you.

Kame Omakase offers a unique and creative sushi experience that will leave you wanting more. These talented chefs use the freshest ingredients to create delicious dishes that will delight your taste buds.

You can expect unique dishes like Hokkaido hairy crabs, giant clams, and sea urchin in nori tacos.

4. Raku

This Chinatown restaurant is hardly a secret anymore, but that hasn’t diminished its culinary prowess.

In a world where restaurants are constantly opening and closing, it’s refreshing to find one that has been around for over ten years.

Chef Mitsuo Endo noticed that restaurant-goers were craving something different from the chain bars popping up all across town. He started Raku with his homemade tofu dish to in-the-know locals and off-dutty chefs and became an instant hit.

Today you can still enjoy silky-smooth Tofu served fresh alongside robata-grilled beef tendon. Of course, there are many other famous menu items, but you’ll have to dine in to check them out.

5. Kabuto-Edomae Sushi

This Kabuto dining experience is a magical night consisting of the freshest fish prepared by sushi masters. Kabuto considers this “the most intimate chef to guest experiences available in the world today.

Substitutions for raw fish are not available so if you are not a fish lover, this one is not for you.

Reservations are accepted up to one month in advance and are highly encouraged.

6. Sushi Samba

Sushi Samba is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Las Vegas. The sushi is amazing and the culinary creativity will blow your mind.

There are menu items from Japan, Brazil, and Peru, so you can try something new each time you visit. The atmosphere is fun and the service is excellent.

If you plan on visiting with a large party, it is recommended to call ahead to make a reservation.

8. Yellowtail Restaurant & Lounge

Located at the Bellagio in Las Vegas you will find a mix of contemporary and traditional Japanese cuisine with a hint of Korean essence.

Panoramic views of the fountains mixed together with delicious cuisine, make this restaurant an experience not to be missed! The menu contains everything ranging from raw seafood all way 48 hours braised Wagyu beef which can only mean one thing: finely tuned tastes for every palate imaginable.

A dish served here might include a Yuju Salmon entree, followed by a side of crispy kimchi Brussel sprouts, specialty rolls like the baked crab handroll, and Popping Spicy Crab.

9. Mizumi

If you want to indulge in some of the freshest sushi and sashimi around, head over to Mizumi.

Your entire meal can be enjoyed by overlooking their private Japanese gardens with a koi pond that’s 90 feet tall!

Mizumi offers a dining experience in either of the two rooms–the main dining area has an intimate setting perfect for couples while teppanyaki gives more space yet still maintains a cozy atmosphere (and waiters passing by!).

If you’re looking to take your dining experience up a notch, and impress your friends and family, request the floating pagoda table and settle in for Chef Min’s exquisite multi-course omakase menu.

10. Aburiya Raku

A Japanese eatery that offers elevated grilled meats, veggies, and sake. It is located on Spring Mountain Road for an off-the-strip experience.

Aburiya Raku is perfect for those who are looking for a unique, yet intimate Japanese dining experience.

The restaurant offers tasting menus that allow guests to sample various items on the menu.

Aburiya Raku also has a strong Japanese beer list and an impressive selection of sake. Guests can choose their own sake glasses from a traditional collection.

11. Zuma

If you’re looking for an amazing Japanese dining experience, look no further than Zuma. Featuring innovative and authentic cuisine in a sophisticated setting, Zuma is sure to impress.

Located on level 3 in the Boulevard Tower at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, Zuma is a must-try for any sushi lover.

The menu at Zuma changes regularly to reflect the latest and greatest in Japanese cuisine, so be sure to check out the latest offerings before you visit. Some of our favorite dishes include the salmon and tuna tartare, the lobster tempura roll, and the grilled scallops. And don’t forget to save room for dessert – the green tea and banana cake is a real treat!

Zuma is an upscale restaurant, so expect to pay a bit more than you would at a traditional sushi spot. But we think it’s well worth it.

Whether you’re enjoying a meal at the main kitchen, sushi counter, or robata grill, you’re sure to find something delicious and unique.

This is the perfect spot for a special occasion or a night out with friends. The attentive staff will ensure that your visit is memorable and enjoyable.
