Chikyu Vegan Sushi Bar & Izakaya

There is no better vegan sushi place in Las Vegas, PERIOD! The food here is amazing. Full of flavor and beautiful to look at. They really are passionate and it shows. From the food to the staff it is always top notch. The beet salad, the tempura cauliflower and pretty much their entire menu. Also, they use only the freshest of ingredients. No wonder they were #1 on Yelp Top 100

I think the most important thing to call out about Chikyu is that you don't need to be Vegan or Vegetarian to enjoy this place. If you consider yourself a fan of sushi, Chikyu is a must if you're in Las Vegas. The flavor profiles we've experienced in the various rolls at Chikyu have been unlike anything I've had elsewhere, in a very good way! One of the biggest differences between vegan sushi at Chikyu compared to other places where I've had vegan sushi, is that Chikyu isn't trying to recreate classic sushi rolls with vegan ingredients. You can find places already doing that, but Chikyu takes things in a different direction by getting WAY more creative with their ingredients and flavor profiles. I keep telling myself I'm going to get something besides sushi next time I go there (can't wait to try their Ramen), but the sushi rolls at Chikyu are each their own delicious work of art. It really is beautiful food that also tastes incredible. Like all other traditional sushi rolls, the food at Chikyu is very filling. Don't think that just because it comes out looking like a work of art that it won't fill you up. Both times I've gone there I've probably ordered a little too much, simply because everything looks so good, and then ended up not being able to finish it all. Luckily, their rolls are just as good the next day. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. I love supporting small restaurants like this, and they're always so friendly when we come. Again, if you love sushi, forget about the fact that this place is all vegan and just go there to enjoy some amazing new takes on sushi!

Wow! What an experience! It was a very nice small restaurant. If you like/love sushi and have a gluten free or vegan lifestyle or diet then this is the place for you! It has a very nice atmosphere! It is a first come first basis as of now. The chefs are very quick with steady hands creating unique plates of food! I primarily tried the sushi tonight with the sides but I will be going back for the ramen noodles, soups, and salads! They also serve beer, wine, and sake! I believe this restaurant can turn into something special as it is a very unique restaurant and very unique cooking with regular vegan food. Great experience! Price was medium priced.

Amazing sushi! This place had unique flavors and textures I hadn’t experienced before with their specialty rolls. The menu is completely vegan and most items are gluten free (ask first). We sat at the sushi bar and had great conversation and recommendations from the sushi chef (and possibly the owner). The service was amazing but the food was also fantastic. We ate the Staghorn roll, Desert Gold roll, Gyoza, Vegetable Tempura, and the Spicy Garlic Miso. We had to sample so much because everything on the menu seemed delicious. I highly recommend a trip for sushi and tempura!

Recommend? Yes. You should've gone already! We got the yuba nigiri, gyoza, vegetable tempura, Snapdragon roll, enoki mushroom nigiri, Chikyu platter, and the victory dance euphoric. Everything was truly delicious. I lack the language to describe how good it all was. It was like sushi, but on the next level if that's a thing. Though the gyozas were definitely average. Lol. The victory dance euphoric was refreshing and I loved the mix of spice. In case you were wondering what it is: "These mood-enhancing concoctions use nootropics, neurotransmitters, and other positive ingredients to bring some sparkle to your evening without any alcohol."

Is it perfect? No. Would I come back? Absolutely. It's guaranteed. The sushi was that good. Good gyōza, great sushi, sub par dissapointing ramen that doesn't even use ramen noodles, but that's ok. Lovely, attentive, and enthusiastic staff. Came here with a party of 5, including myself an hour ago. I'll definitely convince even more to come and try this place out and even more sushi rolls with me in the future. Well done. The flavor presentation, texture and overall quality of the sushi is definitely among my top 5 vegan sushi spots I've had in this country so far.

Hands down the best sushi place I have ever been to, and it’s vegan. Every single piece of sushi was amazing in every way. I usually eat regular sushi and coming here absolutely blew my mind. The customer service was above and beyond and our server was great. The food and the drinks available were just unexplainablely good. I would recommend coming here 10/10 if you are ever in the Las Vegas area. It is worth the trip.

Please do yourselves a favor, go here right away. Take your friends and family here! The food is fresh, bright, and most of all, it is DELICIOUS! I cannot say it enough...the food here is delicious. The abundance of different flavors all perfectly combined into bites of heaven. You will not be disappointed. I would eat here everyday if my wallet could handle it. We ordered several items and came to the conclusion that we could not choose a favorite. Everything is that good!
