GUIDE · Las Vegas Omakase 2026

Best Omakase in Las Vegas, 2026

Las Vegas omakase splits two ways: the serious Chinatown counters off the Strip — Kabuto, Yui Edomae, Sushi Hiroyoshi — and the big-name hotel rooms on it, led by Wakuda, Sushi by Scratch and Morimoto. The editor's ranked guide to the six chef's-counter omakase reservations that matter in Las Vegas in 2026, with prices and booking strategy.

Best Omakase in Las Vegas 2026: The Counter Guide

Omakase — the chef's-choice counter menu, served piece by piece — is where Las Vegas sushi gets serious, and the best of it is found away from the casino floors. The city's benchmark counters cluster in Chinatown on Spring Mountain Road, led by Kabuto and chef Gen Mizoguchi's Yui Edomae, while the Strip answers with marquee hotel rooms from Michelin-starred chef Tetsuya Wakuda and Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto.

What follows is the editor's ranking of the best omakase in Las Vegas in 2026 — built around the counter experience specifically, for diners deciding which seat fits which night. For the wider serious-sushi picture, including à-la-carte nigiri rooms, see the companion best sushi in Las Vegas guide. Each entry links to its full profile or official site; cross-reference with the Las Vegas directory and the sushi cuisine guide.

Reservation pattern: Kabuto and Yui book one to three weeks ahead, more on weekends, with two fixed seatings a night. Wakuda's eight-seat omakase room and Sushi by Scratch open their calendars further out. Sushi Hiroyoshi and Morimoto are the easier same-week seats. Tipping: 20–22% standard.

#1

Kabuto Edomae Sushi

Chinatown · Edomae Omakase · $$$

Solo DiningFirst DateImpress Clients
Chinatown's benchmark Edomae counter — a tight nigiri-led omakase at $125 or $175, and the Las Vegas reservation serious sushi diners chase first.
Food9.3/10
Ambience8.8/10
Value9.0/10
Why it ranks here

Kabuto takes the top spot as the city's purest counter — a small Edomae room on Spring Mountain Road in Chinatown that runs two fixed seatings a night, at 5:30 and 7:30. The cooking is disciplined and traditional: the $125 omakase brings twelve nigiri and two appetisers, the $175 better fish and three, with hand-formed shari and a quiet, chef-led pace. It is the most controlled sushi cooking in Las Vegas and the seat against which the others are measured; book one to three weeks ahead, more for weekends.

Yui Edomae Sushi

Chinatown · Edomae Omakase · $$$$

AnniversaryImpress ClientsFirst Date
Chef Gen Mizoguchi's Chinatown counter — rare fish flown from Japan and a deluxe omakase around $170, the city's most refined Edomae sushi.
Food9.2/10
Ambience8.7/10
Value8.5/10
Why it ranks here

Yui Edomae is second on the strength of its sourcing — chef Gen Mizoguchi, widely credited with raising the bar for Las Vegas sushi, flies in rare fish from Japan and builds simple, exact bites around it. The deluxe omakase, paired with sake or wine, runs about $170, and the room is calmer and more formal than most Chinatown counters. The right seat for a diner who wants the rarest fish in the city and the quietest counter to eat it at. Book one to two weeks ahead.

Wakuda

The Venetian · Omakase Room · $$$$

Impress ClientsAnniversaryClose a Deal
Michelin-starred chef Tetsuya Wakuda's eight-seat omakase room at the Venetian — a ten-course counter with rare whisky and sake, the Strip's marquee seat.
Food9.1/10
Ambience9.3/10
Value8.4/10
Why it ranks here

Wakuda is the Strip's marquee omakase — Michelin-starred chef Tetsuya Wakuda, of Singapore's Waku Ghin, runs an eight-seat omakase room inside a neon-lit Venetian dining room. The counter menu is about ten courses of fine sushi and grilled dishes, paired with rare Japanese whisky and small-batch sake, in the most polished setting of any room on this list. The right seat for a hosted dinner or a high-stakes occasion where the room matters as much as the fish. Book well ahead.

Sushi by Scratch Restaurants

Resorts World · Omakase · $$$$

AnniversaryFirst DateImpress Clients
Chef Phillip Frankland Lee's seventeen-seat counter inside Resorts World — a roughly seventeen-course omakase around $225, the Strip's most theatrical sitting.

Why it ranks here

Sushi by Scratch brings chef Phillip Frankland Lee's omakase format — first starred at his Montecito original — to a seventeen-seat counter inside Resorts World. The roughly seventeen-course menu runs about $225 and leans inventive and theatrical, with house-cured and torched pieces alongside straight nigiri, performed at close quarters. The right seat for a diner who wants a modern, narrated omakase rather than a strict Edomae one. Book a week or two ahead.

#5

Sushi Hiroyoshi

West Charleston · Omakase · $$$

Solo DiningFirst DateBirthday
Chef Hiro Yoshi's off-Chinatown counter — a seasonal $100 omakase of cooked courses and immaculate nigiri, the best value in serious Las Vegas sushi.
Food8.9/10
Ambience8.4/10
Value9.2/10
Why it ranks here

Sushi Hiroyoshi is the value pick of the guide — chef Hiro Yoshi, formerly of Blue Ribbon, runs a counter in a west Charleston strip mall well outside Chinatown's main spoke. The seasonally changing omakase, about $100, moves through cooked chef-chosen courses into a progression of immaculate nigiri, and regulars make a credible case for it as the best omakase in the city full stop. The right counter for a first serious omakase without the top-tier price. Book one to two weeks ahead.

Morimoto

MGM Grand · Omakase · $$$$

Impress ClientsBirthdayTeam Dinner
Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's MGM Grand flagship, reopened in 2026 — a chef's omakase plus the full Japanese menu, the most accessible big-name counter on the Strip.

Value8.3/10
Why it ranks here

Morimoto rounds out the guide as Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's MGM Grand flagship, reopened on the Strip in 2026. Alongside the broad Japanese menu, the sushi bar offers a chef's omakase, and the draw is the combination of a celebrated name, a polished hotel room and an easier reservation than the Chinatown counters above it. The right seat for a group or a guest who wants the big-name experience without chasing a fixed Edomae seating. Book one week ahead.

Methodology

This ranking weights three criteria. Food (40%): cooking discipline, sourcing, rice handling, knife work, seasonal accuracy. Ambience (30%): the counter itself, the seating, the noise level, the service tempo. Value (30%): what the cooking delivers against the price ceiling. Rankings are compiled by the editorial team from named local critics, the chefs' own records and verified diner reporting — no comped placements, no agency invitations, no PR-arranged listings.

Nevada has no Michelin guide, so the list weights chef pedigree, sourcing and room visits rather than a star count — Tetsuya Wakuda and Masaharu Morimoto carry Michelin recognition from their work elsewhere. New openings enter only after operating with the same head chef for ninety days minimum.

Cross-reference this guide with the Las Vegas restaurant directory for the full city listing, the Japanese cuisine guide for the wider category, and the impress-clients occasion guide for the rooms that also rank high for hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best omakase in Las Vegas in 2026?

Kabuto Edomae Sushi in Chinatown. Its tight Edomae omakase, served in two fixed seatings at $125 or $175, is the reservation serious sushi diners chase first in Las Vegas. Chef Gen Mizoguchi's Yui Edomae, at about $170, and Michelin-starred chef Tetsuya Wakuda's room at the Venetian are the next-best arguments.

How much does omakase cost in Las Vegas?

Top tier (Sushi Ginza-style hotel rooms): Wakuda's ten-course omakase and Sushi by Scratch about $225, Morimoto's chef's omakase at the top. Mid-top: Kabuto $125–175, Yui Edomae about $170. Best value: Sushi Hiroyoshi's seasonal omakase about $100. Add 20–22% tip on top.

What is the best-value omakase in Las Vegas?

Sushi Hiroyoshi's seasonal omakase, at about $100, is the best-value serious sushi reservation in Las Vegas — chef Hiro Yoshi's off-Chinatown counter runs cooked courses into a progression of immaculate nigiri, well below the Strip's hotel-room prices. Kabuto's $125 menu is the next step up.

What is the difference between this guide and the best sushi guide?

This guide ranks the chef's-counter omakase experience specifically — the fixed, multi-course menu served at the bar. For à-la-carte nigiri rooms and the wider serious-sushi picture, see the separate best sushi in Las Vegas guide, which covers the same city from a different angle.

Is there a Michelin guide for Las Vegas?

No. Nevada has no Michelin guide, so Las Vegas omakase counters are not star-rated. Several of the chefs carry Michelin recognition from elsewhere — Tetsuya Wakuda for his Singapore restaurants, Masaharu Morimoto across his group — but the Las Vegas rooms themselves are unrated, which is why this guide weights chef pedigree and sourcing.
