50 Best Japanese Restaurants near North Las Vegas

“I’ve been to every Yama location in town, but this one is the MVP. It’s the biggest, it’s open late, and the service is always efficient. Yama Sushi on Spring Mountain is not just a sushi restaurant - it’s a core memory. This was my first sushi spot when I moved to Vegas over 10 years ago, and since then, it’s been the site of raucous birthday parties, flirtatious dinner dates, and probably 50 pounds of salmon nigiri personally devoured. And if you’re planning a birthday dinner, this place is a great option because they have big tables and when everyone gets the same all you can eat deal, sharing rolls and splitting the bill is super easy.“

“We’ve been coming to Poke Sushi for the past five years, and Angelica is truly the reason we keep coming back. Her service is consistently exceptional, she’s always warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about every customer who walks through the door.

Angelica goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect every time. She remembers our preferences, makes great recommendations, and creates such a positive and friendly atmosphere that makes each visit special.

It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and passionate about what they do. Angelica is an absolute gem, and she turns a simple meal into a wonderful experience every single time. Highly recommend!“

“Went today to the one on Eastern and ordered a reg chicken teriyaki bowl and a large chicken and steak bowl to go and got home to a reg and large chicken teriyaki bowl, no steak. Can't even check to see what he charged me for because I didn't get a receipt. Food is good but double check to see what you ordered versus what you get.“

“10/10 experience! Everything was perfect 😍“

“This was a fun place to celebrate our anniversary. The food was phenomenal, the drinks fun and flavorful and the service was sweet and informative.

Here are my takeaways:

The seasonal menu has some amazing gems and worth a try. We were here on October 11th 2026 and tried the Saiko Salmon and it was amazing.

The server gave me the “popular” choices, but then I asked her what she would order and she recommended a bunch of items. Of those, we tried the mushroom medley, A-5 truffle Wagyu gyoza, crispy rice (she recommended salmon and we picked tuna), Kama toro and king salmon from the nigiri menu and the summertime and green dragon from the roll menu. We also tried the hirame, unagi, and oyster foie.

All the food was well balanced and thought out. Every bite was fresh and left you wanting more.

We also got a few cocktails. Well, all but one of the cocktails as there are only four on the menu. I would have liked to see a larger selection of drinks being a cocktail person. I was thinking about sake as well, but the only option is to purchase by the bottle.

My server, Natalie, was great and gave good recommendations. I feel like she was overloaded a bit though as she was very busy with multiple tables and my drink went empty twice before being refilled. Not to her discredit, as she was trying to provide good service to all the guests.

The only other thing I want to mention is the music. I know it is in the Vegas style to play dance music at restaurants, but fast music like that creates a rushed, anxious feeling making the experience a bit cheapened like they are trying to turn tables and not leave a lasting impression and desire to return. We had great food, but the anxiety that the music brought made me feel like I would probably choose another place instead when picking a place to go out next time.“

“had a amazing culinary adventure at Sushisamba! 🍣🍩 We indulged in their SATA ANDAGI - a delightful Japanese doughnut that's a perfect blend of sweet and savory. The dolce de leche flavor was absolutely divine! 😍 Paired with a variety of dips, each bite was a burst of flavor that left us craving for more.“

“Food is very good and have a lot of great options.“

“We experience the best Japanese cuisine at Soho last week. My family could not get enough of the Tuna, Salmon, Steak, brussel sprouts and even desserts. Just look for Justin, he was amazing, he tool very good care of us.“

“I’ve been there several times , always delicious food , friendly staff“

“I never was treat so nice in a restaurant like this one . The staff really know how to please a costumer. You guys are awesome ! obs. Japanese business is my priority choice for now on. thank you“

“Have ordered delivery from here twice now and the 2nd experience was even more delicious and memorable than the first time. Fresh, unique and delicious, with artistic presentation. The handroll sets are good if you like a variety of items on one plate. Just remember that if it has spicy in the name or description expect it to be spicy. Looking forward to going back and trying more menu items.“

“awesome Japanese restaurant with fantastic food!“

“🥰🐶😺Good food just like the way they cook in Japan.“

“Taru is a gem. Service was the quiet standout: if you're lucky enough to land in John's section, you're in exceptionally capable hands, attentive, knowledgeable, and effortlessly gracious. The sushi was impeccably fresh with clean, confident flavors. The truffle trio took top honors tonight, earthy and indulgent without excess, and it paired beautifully with the uni dish, where the briny, custardy sweetness met the truffle's woodsy depth. Taru remains my favorite stop whenever I'm in Vegas. Highly recommended.“

“Wooooooooooowwwwww!!!! What a great location to finishing up our trip and grab the meal here. Ms Cynthia was amazing at the front! I don’t know how you can handle the front station and run within seconds to help every table. I love cooking but she knows very single detail of the menu from the back of her head. Thank you for the opportunity to dine here what a special treat especially being in Vegas!!! We will be back next time we land! I forgot to add again every single item served to us was the best and highest quality as well! The creamy dipping sauce was the bomb all the way to the ice cream!!!“

“the food is scrumptious & friendly staff very attentive.“

“Carina was an incredible server. the chefs are talented and efficient. everything we ordered was perfect. absolutely my new favorite place in vegas.“

“Atmosphere is really fun; food is incredible. Butu burger is killer with bacon and pickled ginger. The naga dog is excellent. Must try!“

“Very good hibachi. Either no or short waiting times. Solid ambiance. Friendly hostess.“

“Highly Recommended! Very insightful, i will also say this here. Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face.

I almost gave up on crypto at some point not until saw a recommendation on Elon musk successfully success story and I got a proficient trader/broker Mr Bernie Doran , he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I'm not here to converse much but to share my testimony; I have made total returns of $10,500.00 from an investment of just $1000.00 within 1 week.

“Celebrated my sons 20th birthday here and Zuma didn’t disappoint. Located on the 3rd floor of Boulevard tower at Cosmopolitan Hotel. We had the chefs tasting menu, every dish was amazing, well presented and filling, probably one course too many. Service was great and a lively atmosphere, the place was full through the night to closing time. It is pricey, but highly recommend going if you like sushi and a fancy night out.“

“If you’re looking for an Izakaya from the more Eastern part of Las Vegas, this is your best bet. This place has potential as they have a great variety of Japanese food and drinks available.

This place has yakitori, sushi, ramen, rice bowls, sake, high balls and everything you can imagine that you’d want from an Izakaya without having to go to China town. The food is pretty standard and nothing short of it.

The ambiance of the place is pretty simple as they have decor on the wall and in the restaurant to create a clean feeling for an Izakaya without being so loud with the decor.

Although the servers were really nice and helpful, the one thing that does dock this place down for me is the service was really slow. We were probably the only people there at first in the beginning before more people started showing up. We were able to get a few of our dishes, but then they seemed to have prioritized the bigger groups orders over ours.

It got to the point where we were tired of waiting and they knew it. It was a bit of a wait for us to even check out with whatever food we got, but they were still nice and apologized about it.

This place definitely has potential, they just have to be able to dish out all the food they have to offer.“

“Friendly ambience, good food. Hiro is the best! Fresh sushi - super delicious! Make sure you try the karaage! Everyone is friendly - Christian is awesome! My family goes there every week. Try it - you’ll enjoy it!“

“Came here for the viral maps tofu and it did not disappoint! I was concerned it might not be the mala spice I crave but it was and so tasty. The server warned me that it is a sharing portion but I ate it all.

For skwers I got chicken thigh, zucchini, sweet potato and grilled mochi. All were delicious and would love to try all the other options.

The atmosphere and details of the resturant were all thoughtfully picked. I look forward to come back with friends next time.“

“They make an awesome Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. I spend about a month a year in Tokyo and this bowl was awesome especially for something stateside, geniunely delicious. The noodles are thin and have a great chew to them. The broth is also a great consistency! 10/10“

“We love this restaurant! Good service and good food !“

“We went here based on other reviews. This place did not disappoint. We had the tuna flight among several other choices based on our server’s (Katherine) suggestions. The sushi was some of the best I’ve had. A little off the beaten path but worth the drive. Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely love the staff here. The food is also amazing. My sister lost an item because she wrapped it up in a paper towel & it was thrown away so we told the server & the staff looked for that item until it was found. My sister & I told them we don’t mind looking in the trash so they took us to the back & we watched the security camera to follow the item to the trash it went into & as we were watching, they ended up finding it!! They are awesome because they didn’t stop looking when most people wouldn’t have cared to put so much effort in to find something that isn’t theirs. We are so thankful. & again, food was amazing. We ate all you can eat sushi. We left happy, full, thankful & relieved.“

“🥰🐶😺Good food just like the way they cook in Japan.“

“We had a blast there. Tiger is an amazing chef and everything was delicious! If you’re looking for a family friendly atmosphere this is not the place to go. Will definitely go again!“

“Very good hibachi. Either no or short waiting times. Solid ambiance. Friendly hostess.“

“Jose , the bartender was awesome. we only sat at the bar but we stayed there for almost 2 hours because the food and drink were so good . Definitely will return“

“This place is soo good! Onigiri with options! Love it! Easy to order, food was fresh, cute packaging. We ordered the bulgogi, spicy tuna and classic. It did not disappoint. Good ratio between ingredients and not too much rice. If you like onigiri, this place is a must.“

“First time dining here and it was fantastic! The Rainbow Sushi was so good I finished everything in minutes—even though I wasn’t that hungry. Reasonable prices, super friendly staff, and I even got to meet their Filipino chef, which was such a nice touch. A definite five-star experience. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Absolutely the best service I have ever had at a restaurant. Our server was Ben, he treated us like we were family explained the menu, made recommendations, and provided the best customer service I have ever experienced at a fine restaurant. Thank you for the absolute best food and best treatment we have ever had!“

“My family and I resllly enjoyed our late dinner at Yellowtail. Will make sure to come back when we’re in Vegas again. Thank you. 👍👏👏👏😊❤️“
