Nomikai

This is a bar style restaurant inside the casino floor of the Venetian. Quick sushi and drinks. Lots of beer options and they have matcha on tap. Sushi is okay, I ordered the California roll and it had mayo in it. Which was weird. Matcha was super earthly, not sweet. It was intense, so good.

I came here solo & sat at the bar & had an amazing experience! the food & drinks were amazing, but Phoebe at the bar was truly amazing! Such a sweetheart & very knowledgeable of all the food! The other bartender was awesome as well. I had a great time & will be back!

I went here for a bday dinner with my friends and they treated us SO well. The drinks were so fun and the sushi was very good. It is definitely pricier and smaller bites but so good. The sushi chefs were so personable and wonderful and quick!

Got a sushi box to bring back to my room. The presentation was nice, but the fish tasted quite fishy. Service wasn’t great either, staff seemed a bit impatient. Hope they can improve next time.

Eat inside! It is a quieter respite from the hubbub of the strip. We were welcomed by a delightful hostess and then Taylor was our server. She had excellent recommendations and mastery of the menu. The cocktails were superb! Try the Daniel is the Villian! We also had the tuna pizza which unexpectedly had truffle oil and was a nice taste profile. Great decor as well.

We sat at a table near the entrance in the speakasy. The service was great but the sushi was average at best. The menu we received had just changed (they were in their first month of opening) so 2 of the items from the menu online were no longer available (disappointing). The yellowtail Serrano was nice but portion small. The Today's Sashimi was the best item we ate. Tuna Tataki was a strong 4 out of 10. The Cali King Crab was a 5/10. We enjoyed talking with a couple next to us and they had the same opinions on the food... we had to order many items due to small portions. They ordered a spicy tuna roll that they showed us fell apart and wasn't good. They also got the chicken dumplings which were a 3/10. Surprises when presented with the check... we were each charged $7 for waters (1 sparkling and 1 still) so $14 for water was a negative. We were encouraged to try the fresh wasabi but later saw a $15 charge on our ticket for fresh wasabi. We are not cheap eaters. We love sushi and will gladly pay $400 for a meal at Nobu where each dish is exceptional. This is no Nobu. It is overrated, overpriced, and underwhelming. If you must get sushi here, get takeout from their sushi bar outside the speakeasy.

We were able to get into the speakeasy section right when they were opening up. The interior is well designed and has that nice intimate cool feel to it. They had a bar area as well as a private room for your party. The staff here were very attentive and nice. We ordered the toasted sesame old fashioned and the ube expresso martini. Both of the drinks were exceptionally made and fun to drink. I liked that you can taste the toasted sesame in the drink. The ube expresso martini was balanced and worth taking a photo of. I also tried their A5 wagyu sando, which was ok in my opinion. I would get more drinks here next time.

NOMIKAI!!! This is hands down the best sushi spot on the strip, probably in Las Vegas. This new and exciting bar is fantastic! The fresh and delicious ingredients are top notch! The service is excellent! Paul, Whitney, Megan, Brycen, and Kelly made our visits on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday very very enjoyable! Paul and Brycen took great care in crafting our rolls! Whitney welcomed us back and was very attentive and helpful in our selections, she even helped us with reservations to the speakeasy. Megan was so sweet to this elderly gentleman who was partially deaf and partially blind. And Kelly, the manager, was so sweet! Everyone we came into contact with at NOMIKAI was a lovely person. You MUST come here. You will not be disappointed!!!

Great service from Morgan! 5 star service. Will definitely recommend. Me and my friends were extremely impressed with staff.

Absolutely amazing ! This speakeasy style of restaurant is a hidden little gem . The sushi was super fresh and amazing quality . Top of line cuts that just melt in your mouth. The staff were attentive and really paid attention to every detail. The drinks are so creative! This place has the perfect mix of style, quality and fun - definitely one of my new favorite spots.Can't wait to go back .

This review is for the bar outside of the speakeasy as the speakeasy doesn't allow kids under 14. The spicy tuna hand roll may have been one of the best I've ever had. They put these crunchy things in it to give a great texture. The California cut roll was delcious. The combination of the crunch of the cold vegetable and the crab mixture was so good. The star of the blue crab hand roll is the acidity. It makes it so good and addicting. The miso hand roll was good for those that like cooked fish. The scallop hand roll is served in a taco like dish. It looked great, but was my least favorite. The spice on top and the slimy texture aren't for me. The salmon hand rolls were also a hit in our party. The chefs were all very friendly and we wish there was a location in Southern California. We've been to some of the other popular hand roll places, and these hand rolls blow the competition away in our opinion.

We went to Nomikai for a quick dinner before an event a few months ago. We were late for our reservation so we ended up sitting at the bar. The menu for the bar is pretty straightforward - some nigiri, sashimi, and rolls with beer and cider. We ordered a few pieces of nigiri with beer and cider. The nigiri was delicious! We were also offered a hand roll which was good but not our favorite. The service was fantastic and the prices are reasonable. I would love to go back when we visit Las Vegas again.

I ate at the Nomikai sushi bar. There was a small line, and the sushi bar is first come first served seating. The hostess, manager, server, and chefs were all attentive and kind. Eating here on a Saturday night (around 10:30pm) in the height of the Formula 1 race ending, was such a joy. Even though it was 10:30pm, I couldn't resist not ordering the nitro matcha on tap. It was delicious! So foamy and perfect. If it wasn't so late in the evening I would have ordered a second cup. I ordered the Premium handroll set for $49. The Premium comes with Hokkaido scallop, Alaskan king crab, miso black cod, and toro & caviar. Absolutely worth the price for the premium ingredients. Every bite was enjoyable and a dream. The miso black cod was cooked and wrapped in soy paper, which helped balance the set as a whole. The other 3 rolls were served in seaweed paper, and placed on a rock shell. Each roll was served one at a time. All of the fish was fresh, seaweed crunchy, and the rice was a little warm. I also added an order for a blue crab handroll for $11. It too was very delicious. I was curious on how different it would be from the Alaskan king crab. The Alaskan king crab was more who crab leg meat pieces whole with the mayo and tiny chives on top. The blue crab was all the white shredded white crab meat mixed with mayo. My whole meal was on the pricier side. But I was in Vegas, didn't know Venetian had a handroll spot, and do not regret going all out on this solo meal. I would do this whole meal again in a heartbeat.

What a little gem! Hidden behind a sushi counter one of the newest speakeasy's. The food was delicious and the right amount! Their ube martini is a must try! It took me by surprise as it wasn't overly sweet and it was just perfect. We ordered the tuna pizza, an a couple other dishes. The service was on point, efficient, attentive! Lit dim offering for a cozy atmosphere, intimate ambiance! Can't wait to go back! Have recommended to my guest since I've been!

Picture Yakuza meets Vegas. Underground, elegant, & sexy intimate vibes. Absolutely positively exceptional! This was the third time that I have been & it keeps getting better. The staff went out of their way to assist me with my vegan option that was served only out by the bar. It's incredible how a simple veggie roll tastes so effin delicious. There homemade sauces elevate the flavors too, nevertheless, it doesn't even need it. Please bottle the sauces. Thanks Team Nomikai!

Got a sushi box to bring back to my room. The presentation was nice, but the fish tasted quite fishy. Service wasn't great either, staff seemed a bit impatient. Hope they can improve next time

This is one of the best hand roll places in town. My girlfriend and I crave this place every other day. The yellowtail sashimi and spicy tuna hand roll is a must order. 15/10 highly recommend. We always get multiple orders of each. The counter service is fast and the servers are always friendly. We've also been to the speakeasy and the drinks were just as good. The ube espresso martini is very unique and delicious. Nothing but great things to say about this place :)

Great for a quick bite Got the 3 set of hand rolls - all the seaweed was crispy, rice warm, fish fresh - salmon : always likeable - yellow tail: good taste - spicy tuna : I appreciated that it wasn't minced, and was chunks. The fried crispy onion was a nice touch Miso cod hand roll - rich and buttery fish Green and red sauce : the green yuzu sauce was delicious and the red definitely less memorable Service was fast and friendly Ambience is a clear bar style right in the walkways of the Venetian, so easy to access Sushi here doesn't compare to the quality and price of the off strip locations but it gets the job done Overall I'd drop by again for a quick meal if I was staying at Venetian and craving something clean

I had dinner at the counter outside and then we went inside for drinks only. I think it's a solid spot for handrolls but if you are super hungry, I'd suggest eating at the restaurant inside the speakeasy. They have bigger dishes of food instead of just handrolls or bowls. I always judge handrolls by the crisp of the seaweed and Nomikai did not disappoint. The handrolls are made on the spot but the rolls are made by a machine, not sure if these are worth it. When I go to a sushi restaurant, I expect rolls to be handmade if they're charging $20+. The drinks inside were delicious! We tried almost every drink on the menu and all of them were so good. The wait was really long and I think the second round took so long that they gave us a house shot (+1 for this, thank you!). We were going to order a 3rd round of drinks but since the 2nd round took so long, we decided to leave since we had a show at the sphere to catch. But would definitely recommend!

Two of my favorite things: The Venetian and sushi hand rolls. Who knew I'd get both in one trip? I'm in Vegas for work (sober trip... yes, first time ever), and after walking by this spot four times, my curiosity finally won. I went all in and ordered the premium hand roll set. The star of the show? The Hokkaido scallop. Absolutely perfect!! And yes, I'm bitter that I can't order it a la carte. Please fix this, I know those if you with the power are reading this review lol. Second place goes to the cod. Hot, fresh, and exactly what I needed. Third place goes to the crab? Good, not legendary. Fourth place. Toro with caviar? Meh. The texture wasn't for me and the caviar kind of ghosted me on flavor. Their yuzu dipping sauce was basically a cheat code. I love yuzu, so every bite was a mini dopamine hit... but I restrained myself and let the fish shine on its own too. Service was great, chill staff, and we came in at 11 AM on a Wednesday so it felt like a private sushi experience. The layout is just a sushi bar, which makes it feel cozy and focused. I'll definitely be back. There are more hand rolls with my name on them.

We went for a friendly post-dinner / late night hangout and the setting was really calming. The service was good, but it also kind of seemed like people were trying to shark the table from the assigned server, who was really nice and helpful. We weren't sure if they were truly stepping on her turf or if they just weren't talking to each other as they each passed by to check on us since they kept asking the same questions the previous person asked. Either way, everyone was friendly. We didn't take a picture of the sashimi, but we ordered the Today's Sashimi with salmon, yellowtail, and bluefin tuna that all tasted fresh...yum! The spicy tuna chips were also great. The martinis had cool designs and the drinks were good, but you can definitely tell you're paying for that strip casino location (good, but high priced for not absolutely spectacular). Overall, it was a great venue for old friends to catch-up.

Sushi bar counter across from Yardbird. Easy a la carte and simple menu of very fresh sushi. I ordered a 3-set ($22) of Salmon, yellowtail and spicy tuna hand rolls, and added Toro sushi ($18). The Toro was the starter. Two pieces and excellent quality. Taking to the chef, they prep everything that morning so it's the freshest possible. Real Wasabi and pickled ginger accompanied the setup. You are served in a specific order. Your chef watches you to know when to prep the next one. Very reasonable prices for the quality. The dining room doesn't open until 5p but the counter was perfect. Hubs doesn't eat fish so his pear cider was choice. All for $52 not including tip. They are open until 11pm. Great spot in the Venetian, not too far of a walk from Harrah's and great break after shopping.

Visited on a Wednesday around 3:30pm, sushi bar had a few other guests but plenty of open seats so just walked up to the bar and grabbed a seat at the counter. Food: order the 4 piece set. Salmon handroll - solid, generous amount of salmon with a medium level of fattiness, nori was perfectly crisp and sushi rice was slightly war making for a great start to the meal Yellowtail handroll - solid, also generous amount of fish, flavor was fairly mild so paired well with wasabi and soy sauce Blue crab handroll- good, crab was lightly seasoned with a touch of acidity and had a nice salinity to it which needed no sauce from my point of view Spicy Tuna handroll - excellent, nice medium heat level, with some fried shallots and crispy pieces for added textural contrast, hands down favorite roll of the set Service was solid, quick and efficient, only took a few minutes to place order and close out, water was served at the start of the meal upon request. Handrolls were prepared as you were ready for the next bite to ensure nori stayed crisp. Overall real enjoyed handrolls at nomikai, great quick and efficient meal of your looking for great sushi on the strip.

There's a question I have come to live by when it comes to relationships. "Do I like who I am with you?" If the answer is not a screaming fuck yeah, then why am I allowing you to be a part of my life? I've endured enough life lessons to believe this simple truth can be applied to almost anything. All vices. Especially vices! I write about experiences I care about and believe others will find a "fuck yeah" with or I wouldn't share it. I'm not paid for it. I'm not an influencer. I write them on a treadmill or in between sets working off the calories.         So after a recent situation-ship ended I decided the perfect medicine was the legendary burlesque show from Dita Von Teese ( @ditavonteese ) at the Venetian ( @venetianvegas ) and a feast at Nomi Kai Sushi ( @nomikaisushi ). I enjoyed the oysters, one of the best tuna pizzas I've ever had, the A5 sando which was mouth watering, beyond fresh sushi rolls, and the perfect assortment of pre-show poisons. The interior of this spot was awesome too, and the perfect opener to the most fabulous stage setting for Dita's residency. Both are musts friends!        Fuck! I love living in Vegas!        #hough2025 #rubyist #aienthusiast #aspiringtriathlete #rewriteyourstory #loveyourlife

Nomikai is a great spot to eat in the Venetian. To note, Nomikai has an ourside hand roll bar area along with an inside "speakeasy". These locations have different menus. I would rate the outside sushi bar area a 4.5/5 and the inside "speakeasy" a 3.5/5. -- Nomikai Sushi Bar -- The sushi bar offers hand rolls, cut rolls, sashimi, sushi, and poke bowls. The bar area has roughly 20 seats and is on a first come, first serve basis. The turnover is pretty fast so I definitely recommend waiting around. I only ordered the hand rolls and ended up coming to this spot 2 times on my trip. The hand rolls can range from $5 for vegetable to $18 for the Alaskan king crab. Salmon $7: The most basic. It lacked flavor in comparison to all of the other rolls. 2/5 Yellowtail $9: Flavorful, straight forward. 3/5 Blue Crab $11: Light, refreshing and tasted very clean. 3.5/5 Spicy Tuna $8: The most flavorful - slight kick, shiso leaf, fried onions. 5/5 Miso Black Cod $12: Delicious! Tastes exactly like a miso black cod entree at a restaurant, but in hand roll form. 4/5 Sauces $3: Chili red (garlicky) and yuzu green. Love sauces, but also the flavors mask the flavor of the roll. I recommend just dipping your hand roll in soy sauce and wasabi to enjoy the flavor of the fish itself. -- Nomikai Speakeasy -- Reservations are recommended, but luckily we were able to put our name down and we were seated within 10 minutes or so. This menu is very different as they do not offer any hand rolls. They have a small selection of appetizers, cut rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. The "Speakeasy" has roughly 12 different specialty cocktail drinks. Spicy Tuna Chips $18: Shiso, gochujang miso on a fried lotus root chip. Comes with three small lotus root chips topped with a thin slice of tuna. It was very disappointing and would not recommend this. 0/5 Bluefin Tuna Pizza $24: Heirloom tomatoes, onions. Thinly sliced bluefin on top of a cracker. Very simple but the sauce was so flavorful. 4/5 Cocktails that I tried included the Yuzu drip (vodka, yuzu, grapefruit), Whiskey & Strawberries (whisky, soju, strawberry - very sweet), Ube Espresso Martini (vodka, ube), and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blowfish (whisky, yuzu, white beach). Overall, I would highly recommend eating at the outside sushi bar. The speakeasy is best for drinking cocktails.

Recently visited their speakeasy side for a dinner with friends. They were able to accommodate a larger party in a private room within their speakeasy area that was super cute and intimate! We all opted for different cocktails and pre set menus. Everything was delightful, service was great, and fish was fresh! Definitely opt in for the fresh wasabi!

For those of you who are familiar with the Bay Area, this place is not related to the Nomikai in DTSJ. Definitely one of my favorite spots on the trip. The Speakeasy hits; wish there were more spots like this around here that could execute on this level. What initially was supposed to be a stop for post dinner drinks turned into drinks and some small bites; let's get into it shall we; Best bar bite was the Ocean Trout nigiri: "Daaaaaayum" was that good. If I wasn't a trout fan before in the nigiri/sashimi space before I certainly am now. Texture, flavor profile differentiated itself from the likes of Tuna (Toro not withstanding) If the Ocean Trout was the main attraction then the miso black cod cut roll and spicy tuna chips were very solid opening acts. Drinks: You can tell the person behind the cocktails takes pride in their craft because it was awesome. I didn't need much convincing from our server's recommendation of the Toasted Sesame Old Fashioned and Ube Espresso Martini. The old fashioned was well balanced and not overpowering by the whiskey and the notes of sesame were noticeable and complemented it quite well. Ube Espresso Martini; two of my favorite things mixed together. Here they do it right. You taste the Ube but it all mixed together well and no particular ingredient clashed. Food: Ocean Trout Nigiri: 4.8/5 Spicy Tuna Chips: 4/5 Miso Cod Cut Roll: 4.1/5 Drinks: Toasted Sesame Old Fashioned: 4.9/5 Ube Espresso Martini: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5; friendly, attentive, gave great recommendations

My disappointment is palatable. I made reservations for the speakeasy side of the restaurant as I figured I like cocktails and I love sushi. I was charmed with the instructions providing me a QR code for entry. I thought that this would be so cool! First thing - the service is the only reason I am not giving this a one star review. The staff were absolute gems. Our waitress was cheery and genuine. Everyone was very nice. Their enthusiasm was the only reason I didn't react negatively in the moment as they held together my shattered expectations. Flatly, this was an utter waste of money. We were escorted to a dimly lit room that had bench seating with the tables so close together it was physically impossible to slide between the tables without moving them. Inconvenient at best and embarrassing at worst. Shame, Nomikai. Seriously that was awful. We might as well had pushed the tables together as only polite etiquette created the illusion of space. If there were six inches between the tables I'd be surprised. Determined to overlook the discomfort I ordered the $78 sushi set. Typically when I eat sushi I order a 6 piece roll and 4 pieces of nigiri so I anticipated 8 pieces if nigiri and a hand roll would be plenty. What came out was the amuse-bouche of nigiri. Itsy-bitsy, teeny tiny pop-in-the-mouth bite-size pieces. I have never seen such petite portion sizes. Each was delicious, but it left me hungry which I never experienced at a sushi restaurant. Suddenly I felt like I paid for the gimmick - the illusion of exclusivity with the trend of speakeasy spots. I was hungry and irritated that a meal that cost this much was so wanting. It sounds, from reading the reviews, the counter is better but I am too discouraged to give it another go. Maybe in the future.

Had a good meal and fun time seating at the bar here outside the restaurant. We needed a quick bite and this was perfect. Limited menu. The staff were using machines to make the rolls and it was a bar in the hallway of the hotel outside the actual restaurant. That said, it was still rather pricey for what it was. Some food was good, some just ok.

There are just not enough stars to review this place. I would give it 10000 if I could. Heck, I just might!! By the time you finish reading this review, I hope you're already calling to reserve a spot, adding it to your bookmarks or itinerary or looking at the menu so you can start getting hungry ASAP. We ate so much -- a lot for 2 people but everything was well worth it. Dont forgrt sake or beers to wash it all down. What we ate: ** Shrimp Cocktail - solid 9/10 they were meaty and the cocktail sauce was really good. Presentation was chef's kiss ** Chicken Truffle Dumplings - 8/10 I personally dont like truffle so it wasnt my fav but overall taste was really good ** Bluefin Tuna Pizza - 10000/10 it sounds weird right... fish on pizza?? BUT let me tell you it was THE BEST PIZZA ever. The tuna is so thinky sliced on the crispy "crust" and the sauce was perfection. I would order this again and again for reals! ** Seared A5 Wagyu - 10/10 so tender and flavorful. Its small but packed with flavor. ** Tuna Tataki - cant go wrong. I always love a good tuna tataki and this one did not disappoint. ** Cali King Crab & Spicy Tuna - good shareable pieces and fresh taste. Solid rolls for sure. I will definitely be coming back and telling everyone I know about this place cause we dont gatekeep a good thing. Shootouts to Chef Nick and his team. They are sushi magicians and threw down everything, masterfully. Chefs kiss to Nomikai.

Loved this place! Husband and I came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary and my husband's birthday! We had this coursed meal! Our experience was great - our server was lovely and very attentive. The blue fin tuna pizza was our favorite. The sushi was just okay to be quite honest. the sashimi and the miso were really good. At the end, they even gave us mochi ice cream with a candle on it. The ambiance was really nice - it's very upscale compared to their outside sit down area. The only thing is that the tables are really close to others and the guests beside us spoke so loudly we were everything they were talking about. Other than that though, I would recommend this spot - because they typically give champagne during special events, since we weren't drinking alcohol at the time, the bartenders created a drink that was off menu and it was delicious!! We felt very special that they were able to accommodate us with something special. Tip: definitely worth getting real wasabi even though it's $15

Nomikai is a newly opened sushi bar in the restaurant row connecting the Venetian and Palazzo. We walked by it a few times and eventually decided with needed to try it. They are located right across Chica. The sushi bar has about 12-15 seats. They also have window for to-go ordering. Apparently, they also have a speakeasy which we found out after. We dined here shortly after opening around 11AM. The staff here were some of friendliest people. The chef making our orders and the waitstaff were extremely hospitable. Something cool to note, they have a wall of "Roll Record" where they had a handful of customers listed and amount of handrolls they ate during one sitting. The highest was apparently 25, but the staff stated that same person came by and at 31 handrolls! You can do the math on how much that cost, but that's crazy! We decided to share the 4-Set handrolls which were Salmon/Yellowtail/Dungeness Crab/Spicy Tuna. The cost was $28 and we extra $3 dipping sauces of Chili Red and Yuzu Green. PRO TIP: order the dipping sauces, they were BOMB, they pair perfectly with all the handrolls. The making of the handrolls came out as fast as we were eating them. All of the options from the 4-set were delicious. The Dungeness Crab and the salmon were my personal favorites. We'd recommended Nomikai if you love sushi and are craving handrolls. We'd return again without a doubt and maybe check out the speakeasy. Thanks, Nomikai!

Came for the Matcha nitro - stayed for the legit rolls (more like Sugarfish's kazunori rather than like traditional hand rolls btw). I was at the Venetian/Palazzo for a conference and just needed a mid-day pick me up. The matcha nitro didn't really taste THAT different but I enjoyed the small caffeine boost. We shared the YELLOWTAIL SERRANO sashimi - 4 pieces for $13 is pretty premium but it's vegas baby. Fresh and tasty! I also had a crab hand roll as a supplment as well! If I were more hungry, I would've totally sprang for the POKE BOWL but just needed a little snack. You can order online for pick up btw!

We loved the whole experience from beginning to end! From the impressive ambience of your beautiful restaurant and vibrant music entering through the secret door, the exotic and fun drinks, the "trust me" sushi selection was all beautiful and tasty, the pot stickers were delicious and the Serrano chili sashimi had just the right amount of kick as well as the inside out spicy tuna roll. Impeccable service by your staff made the night very special celebrating our anniversary! We will definitely be back again on our next trip. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Con: was at the Venetian for a conference for 4 days. Came here 2x for lunch with a colleague and both times, the waitress was so not interested in either us or working. So much attitude or just annoyed to be there. Con: $7 for a Spirit! I ordered the one time and did not look at the menu for the price. I did not realized it until I got the bill. It was one can plus a glass of ice. Insane I did not order any drinks the 2nd time I went. I had house water Pro: - sushi is a must here. So fresh. - Poke bowl is so filling and worth every penny. - sushi chefs were great and welcoming. One even remembered us from the previous lunch. We appreciate that. Sushi spot with counter seatings. Although like fast food, you definitely get quality sushi. Both times we came, food was very consistent - fresh, sauces were flavorful and added to the dishes. Worth the stop. 3 stars due to the waitress not the food or the sushi chefs.

A great place to grab a quick bite to eat. All sushi bar seating. The fish is super fresh and well prepared. Service is great and fast. Highly recommend if you're looking to get your sushi fix.

Service was nice and I love the vibe and concept, but hand rolls didn't hit for me the way i had hoped they would. The salmon had a really fishy aftertaste, it definitely wasn't the freshest salmon I've had. Glad I tried it once but most likely won't come back.

Cool space. Food is medicore -- sushi rice is not very good in the rolls. Service is excellent though. Very expensive. Also -- tip: Say no to the special fresh grated wasabi -- they charged $15/pp for a tiny blob of it (outrageous and they never mentioned it would cost more). Look Vegas is a tourist trap so go in with your eyes open.

We dined here on opening night and I have to say this was the perfect hideaway from the bustling Venetian crowds. I truly love the restaurant row revamp. They've modernized the speakeasy experience with a QR code you receive upon confirming your reservation. This gives you access to enter the door into a decadent dining space. We felt like we were sitting in a boat. Service was friendly and attentive, appreciated it. The fish was very fresh. Highlights of the night were the hirame, uni, chutoro, spicy tuna, and wagyu sando. Their sake bottles are super expensive but you can also order them by the glass. Interesting approach. The cocktails definitely standout and you must end your dinner with a delicious ube espresso martini. They also have a private dining room behind the main space, it was beautiful. If you can't score reservations, outside the speakeasy on the main restaurant row, they offer bar seating with hand rolls. It's definitely a more relaxed environment there but the items do differ from the speakeasy. I look forward to coming back!

This was hands down the best sushi experience on the Las Vegas Strip! We did the chef's tasting and let the chef surprise us with his signature dishes -- and every single plate was perfection. Each course was beautifully presented and full of incredible flavor. The fish was so fresh it literally melted in our mouths, and every bite felt like a new adventure. You could tell the chef put real heart and creativity into every dish -- it wasn't just a meal, it was a true experience. The staff made us feel completely taken care of, and the service was flawless. From the ambiance to the pacing, everything flowed perfectly. If you're visiting Vegas and want to treat yourself to something truly special, let the chef take the lead -- you won't regret it. Easily one of the best dining experiences we've ever had!

Have been staying at Palazzo for over 10 years and this is a new addition this year!. Excellent location right on the corner with bar seats. Food comes out fast and delicious. You can even get to go! It hits the craving especially if you just want something quick!

Finally a hand roll spot that's comparable to the popular hand roll bar at Cosmo! The people here were super nice and friendly. The rolls were very fresh and definitely get their house made sauce. They have nitro matcha on tap which was worth trying. We also came back another time for their speakeasy and had a couple drinks. The drinks were very creative and tasty. The bar is located in restaurant row in between Palazzo and Venetian.

The newest addition to Venetian. The dining seating area will be open on 4/24. Now only the bar area is open with smaller menu. The service is good and the food is great. Love the scallops and the tuna with caviar. The peach yuzu sake (but actually no alcohol) is good and refreshing. Will come back when the dining room is open.

Was here for Ralph Barbosa show, and wanted to get some food in my belly before the shenanigans begun. The staff was so quick and friendly it felt like the perfect quick stop. We had their two poke options and OH MYY GAWD, my mouth is watering just remembering how good it was! The quality is outstanding for a fast casual vibe it gives.

I was pleasantly surprised the food at the sushi bar is good! I got the premium handroll set and really enjoyed the miso black cod it was delicious. The Hokkaido scallop was my second favorite. The alaskan king crab was decent, but I thought the toro with caviar handroll was ok couldn't really taste the fatty ness of toro. I also liked the tuna poke bowl too (shared this they give a lot of rice wish they would give more seaweed salad with it). Also got the salmon cut roll it's not evenly cut lol which I thought was interesting since they use a machine. Overall, I would wanna come back here. Don't get the nitro Matcha. I sampled it and it tastes like watered down matcha. I hope they decide to add Uni to their menu one day because it would be nice to eat a Uni Handroll.

Quick sushi break turned into the perfect Vegas gem! Stopped by Nomikai at The Venetian during a conference and WOW -- fresh sushi, smooth sake, and the best hospitality. Huge thanks to Emma for making it such a great experience A must-stop for quick, delicious bites & amazing staff care when in Vegas! I stopped into Nomikai at The Venetian while on property for a conference, and it was the perfect sushi and sake break. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared -- ideal for a quick fresh bite!! A special shoutout to Emma, whose warm hospitality really stood out and made the experience even better!! She took great care of all of us @ the sushi bar and added to the welcoming atmosphere. Nomikai is an absolute must-stop when visiting Vegas -- whether you're looking for quick, fresh sushi bites between events or just want to enjoy excellent sake and great staff care. Truly a gem!#VegasEats #SushiLovers #Nomikai

This is a good use of this space, and a cute addition to Restaurant Row. Like many places in Vegas, it's pricey. We started off with 2 Asahi ($12/each) and some of their draft sake ($15). We were given plastic jello-shot cups for the sake and not because of any Vegas-related rule. Our server Delaney mentioned that it was part of the 'casual' atmosphere. Not a huge fan of that, to be honest. We shared the 3-Roll set ($19) and Premium Roll set (4, more premium items $45). Delaney also asked if we wanted to try some of their special sauces for which there was a $3 surcharge each (which we saw on the bill later). Everything we ate was good, though I am spoiled with really good sushi near our home. Nomikai is opening up a larger more-restaurant style 'speakeasy' later this month (April); I look forward to trying that.

Tasty sushi and fun concept. Not sure about all the plastic cups for drinks. Really like the miso black cod hand roll. I would go with the 3 set to start and go from there depending on how hungry you are. Looking forward for them to opening the larger spot.

I honestly wasn't expecting to be this impressed, but Nomikai blew me away. The fish was super fresh--every bite felt like it had just been sliced to order. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, checking in at just the right times and making sure everything felt easy and comfortable. What surprised me most is that it was somehow better than some of the fancier, high-priced spots I've tried in Las Vegas. Here, you don't pay for the glitter, you just get honest quality, great flavor, and service that makes you feel welcome. The presentation was clean and thoughtful, and you can tell the chefs take pride in what they do. It's the kind of place where the focus is purely on the food and the experience, and it really shows. If you're debating between trendy hype and true quality, Nomikai wins every time. I'd happily come back here before some of the "big name" places I've been to. Highly recommend!

We were able to get into the speakeasy section right when they were opening up. The interior is well designed and has that nice intimate cool feel to it. They had a bar area as well as a private room for your party. The staff here were very attentive and nice. We ordered the toasted sesame old fashioned and the ube expresso martini. Both of the drinks were exceptionally made and fun to drink. I liked that you can taste the toasted sesame in the drink. The ube expresso martini was balanced and worth taking a photo of. I also tried their A5 wagyu sando, which was ok in my opinion. I would get more drinks here next time.

Paying for the experience! The nigiri's were delicious. It's small portions but quality taste. Drinks had good flavor. I enjoyed the sesame old fashion and my fiancé enjoyed the Ube espresso. Ambiance is really good for a date night. Dimly light and small. Service was good.

good but the quality could definitely be better and match the price. unfortunately, i just feel as if this place didn't meet my expectations which thats okay. service: decent!! ambiance: a vibe!!

Very average sushi. Yes fresh fish, but have had much better. Not recommended. Our rainbow roll was warm actually. Also very very limited menu. Skip it.

Service and drinks and food as great. The whole staff were amazing.and our server Elena with her big beautiful smile my our first speakeasy experience awesome.

A truly memorable experience in a beautiful setting. Food was amazing and the service was top notch. Will definitely be back!

I cannot speak higher of this speakeasy (note I am not speaking of the sushi bar located on the outside). Service across the board was insane. Our waitress had the best charisma to her. She was so bubbly and had this beautiful aura to her. Even the young gentleman who served us water throughout the night was engaging and pleasant to speak to so alone on service is a reason to come by. The leadership team was engaging and even one walked us out at the end of the night. And then you have the food and drinks just WOW!! The chicken dumplings were amazing! We had also the yellowtail which was delicious and delicate. We wanted to try everything on the menu it was so good. The experience was flawless and I don't think I've been able to say that in a long time.

This was a great small place to dine seeing that we came on Easter weekend and all the restaurants had a line. There was no wait to get in, I ordered a poke bowl and it was ready in no time. The staff was very friendly took the time to get to know me and my sister. They recommended travel plans. The food was economical nothing too pricey along with a decent portion. I definitely recommend.
