Morimoto Las Vegas

The 17 Best Las Vegas Sushi Restaurants

"Morimoto originally opened in 2016 with a menu that blends Eastern and Western flavors. Customers can choose to dine at the sushi bar, main dining room, or teppan tables, and when the restaurant opened, it marked the first time the Iron Chef brought his iron griddle menu to the world. The sushi menu features the Morimoto sashimi, which combines seared toro, salmon, eel, tuna, hamachi, and five sauces, along with some vegetarian options. On the entrees side of the menu, customers find braised black cod with ginger-soy reduction and Duck Duck Goose with a duck meatball soup with duck confit fried rice and gooseberry compote. Of course, stunners include ishi yaki buri bop with yellowtail on rice cooked at your table in a hot stone bowl and a 54-ounce tomahawk rib-eye steak." - Janna Karel
