Best Sushi in Vegas?
 

Can anyone give me a recommendation for a good sushi place in Vegas? I'm going to be there Dec. 13th-17th. Preferably not more than $50/person (unless it's REALLY good)...I will have a car, so off the strip is fine.

Thanks.

Just outside of Vegas, it's called "Lola's Love Shack".

My personal favorite is Sumo (Sunset/Green Valley pkwy). I've heard others rave about Sushi on Trop (Trop/Eastern I think).

Sushi on Tropicana is at the corner of Tropicana and Topaz. all you can eat for about 25 bucks. The whole menu is in play, and all sushi is rolled to order (and the rice is small). Really good stuff.

Also, Sushi Factory on West Tropicana has a similar deal. The two owners are friends from LA, who both came out to vegas to start their own restaurants. They have a deal with each other where they can open up as many restaurants as they want as long as they stay on their own side of town (west side/east side with the strip as the divider).
both are really good deals.

Hamada on East Flamingo about three blocks (not the Hamada fast food outlets in various casinos) is pretty good, but would bump against your price ceiling. However, the quality has always been very good and the location and extended hours are a plus.

Sumo in Green Valley(Henderson) is a long way from the Strip, and not really great. (I like it okay and live in Green Valley, but cannot in good conscience recommend you drive out for it.)

I have heard good things about places on Trop, East or West, discussed above. Try one of them probably.

Todai at the Alladin. I haven't tried any other places in Vegas so I have no basis for comparison. It's a great value since it is a buffet for about $30/person. They have tons of stuff and it was all good.

if you like todai (to die) try Makino. Not sure where it is, but I can get there (it's in the phone book). Not a true sushi place, but a asian buffet that includes sushi (todai style). I think Makino is better quality food than todai.

Re: Best Sushi in Vegas?
 

Are they owned by a different company than all of the other Todai restaurants, or do they just have a different supplier of the fish?

I haven't eaten at this one in particular, but the rest are horrible.

It's tough to screw up something that's raw, but Todai usually manages to do it anyhow.

I'd have to agree with Duke here. Better find out if the Todai mentioned is very different than the rest of them. I've eaten at three Todai's (each recommended by those who aren't that into sushi, or haven't had 'good' sushi), and they were all horrible. But, if this Todai is different, then give it a shot.

Not familiar with the place but Sushi can't be served as
a buffet, it has to be just made to be any good.
