The 38 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas
"Celebrated Australia-based chef Tetsuya Wakuda opened his first-ever Vegas restaurant a few years ago at the Venetian Resort, where he serves striking modern Japanese lounge dishes in an exuberantly-designed space. Think sushi and rolls with top-notch fish and seasonal offerings from around the world, like fatty tuna and scallion rolls or Canadian lobster ceviche. Larger items like sakura pork cutlet katsu and king crab tempura served with a yuzu kosho vinaigrette work as more substantial mains while a Patagonian toothfish (also known as Chilean seabass) miso comes right out of the Nobu playbook. Wakuda has a six-course and nine-course tastings in case its expansive menu has too many options. —Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest For those in the know: While the main dining room has some pricey dishes, the happy hour up front has some reasonably priced bites like jidori chicken nuggets and spicy tuna crispy rice to pair with solid cocktails." - Matthew Kang
