The 25 Best Restaurants In Las Vegas - Las Vegas - The Infatuation

"On a good night, one of the first things you’ll see when you sit down in the tiny kaiseki room at Yuzu is an impressively huge slab of otoro—the fattiest, most prized part of the tuna belly. It appears multiple times during the 11-course shou menu ($210), which changes monthly but always features sea urchin, grilled A5 wagyu, and foie gras. Plus, some gold leaf as a reminder that Chinatown isn’t that far from the Strip. But the real strength of Kaiseki Yuzu lies in its balance of fun and finesse: you can chat with the chef and his assistants, who crack jokes while they’re making intricate little sculptures out of fish and vegetables. And while the dishes look dainty, you’ll finish your two-plus hours feeling satisfied (and loaded with more food pics than you’ll know what to do with), but not so full you can’t hop across the street for a drink at The Golden Tiki after." - emmy kasten, andrew ryce
