Golden Gai Cocktail Club is an absolute vibe from the moment you step inside. The atmosphere instantly transports you to a neon-lit Japanese cityscape, giving strong Akihabara energy with glowing signage, moody lighting, and a sleek, immersive design that feels both futuristic and intimate. It’s the kind of place where every corner feels intentional and visually striking.
The drinks are top-tier and thoughtfully crafted. Each cocktail is balanced, creative, and beautifully presented—perfect whether you’re sipping slowly or gearing up for a night out. You can tell the bartenders take pride in their craft, and the menu offers something for every palate, from bold and boozy to smooth and refreshing.
What really sets Golden Gai apart is the music. The DJs keep the energy high with uptempo soundtracks that make it impossible not to groove. The sound selection perfectly complements the atmosphere, creating a seamless blend of lounge and nightlife vibes without ever feeling overwhelming.
Whether you’re looking for a stylish spot to start the night, impress out-of-town friends, or just enjoy great cocktails with an electric ambiance, Golden Gai Cocktail Club delivers on all fronts. Definitely a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great drinks, immersive design, and music that moves you.

Great ambience music and decor, but food was disappointing. We were expecting a close to nobu experience with the prices, but the otoro didn’t taste fresh chip it came with was too greasy, Fried food oil tasted old, we tried 3 types of carpaccio and all of them flavor was not balanced, ramen was fairly price but not yummy. Service was quite well to end the experience on a good note. Would not come back for the food, but definitely fun for one time.

Hands down one of my favorite spots; don’t blink or you’ll miss it! Just outside the main casino, the sake, the food, the service! Seek this spot out, it’s gorgeous classy and fun!

My date and I arrived two hours early to our reservation. They gave us the option of taking a bar table which we chose to take. The art in the bar created the perfect atmosphere. We had the sashimi platter which included 3 tuna, salmon and hamachi; which we loved. The quality of the fish was exquisite, very fresh. Next we had the NY wagu 18oz. Sliced and medium rare. It was very tender and juicy. We enjoyed a saki and Japanese whiskey cocktail with mochi dessert. The vibe in the bar was absolutely intoxicating. The best part of this Vegas trip!

We ate here with a prepaid amount from a F1 experience. Our 9 course service was extremely slow and with two courses remaining we had to ask for the bill, as we had waited 35 minutes for the last course to come out. When the bill came we were charged the full amount for our meals. When I told the server she went and talked to the manager and got the bill down to where it should be, but then added her own gratuity on top of that. I asked to see the manager, a Mr. Andy St. John. He was rude and condescending towards us and finally agreed to have the gratuity removed. We signed our check and left. Upon returning home, we found out that they pushed the larger amount through on our credit card without any signature of mine, which is now in dispute. This is an unbelievable action from such an establishment and an embarrassment to the restaurant company.

We enjoyed the chefs 9 course dinner. The food was excellent as well as the service. It was a very nice experience.

Wakuda was awesome we did the 6 course and all 6 items were amazing! Each item was brought out and explained on what was in it why and what the Chief was going for, the quality of the fish and steak were top notch some of the best I have had, the salmon from New Zealand was my favorite. If you are in Vegas this I a great spot to add to your dinner reservations.

Truly amazing food... From the food and cocktails to the outstanding service. I have made Wakuda a go to when I am in Las Vegas
Terry
The service was extremely disappointing, and the ambiance at our table was also poor. For the price, you expect a special experience, even in Las Vegas. I would not recommend this restaurant.
My second time in the Vegas location. I've been to the one in Singapore and it's the same quality. So amazing. I'll keep coming back to try more dishes and drinks!
Renee
Impressive. Casino restaurants can sometimes be overdone but Wakuda delivers in every way. Layered flavors stand out in all the dishes we ordered. I'll be back for the Tuna Nori Chips very soon! Who knew shaved ice could taste so good! Pricey dinner but your taste buds will thank you! Thanks for making my birthday dinner memorable, Wakuda.
Lisa
Absolutely outstanding food and service. The ambience was also very beautiful. Even the bathrooms were lovely. We particularly enjoyed the sea bass and the unique presentation of the udon (no broth and more delicate noodles).

Had the Restaurant Week menu. It was amazing. Lobster Ceviche was so delicious The Japanese Snapper hit all the right notes heat sweet acid just right. The 5 courses were very very tasty.
