It is literally insane how good this place is. I have had sushi from New York City to LA, and many places in-between and the quality of food here is competitive with the best sushi anywhere!!!! The food for the price is unbeatable, great service and a welcoming atmosphere. I will come back every time I come to Vegas!

It's not every day you stumble upon a brand-new sushi spot that instantly earns a place on your favorites list--but that's exactly what happened when I visited this somewhat newly opened sushi restaurant on Spring Mountain Road. Nestled among the vibrant mix of Asian eateries in the area, this place is already setting itself apart with super fresh ingredients, artful presentation, and a team that clearly knows (and loves) what they're doing. Let's start with the ambiance. The interior is modern, minimalist, and warm, with subtle wood accents and soft lighting that creates a calming, Zen-like vibe without feeling too formal or cold. You immediately get the sense that this is a space where both quality and experience matter. Whether you're out for a relaxed dinner with friends or a quiet sushi date, the setting strikes a perfect balance between casual comfort and upscale presentation. There's bar seating if you want to watch the sushi chefs in action, and it's worth it--the precision and care they take with each roll is truly mesmerizing. But the regular tables are just as comfortable and give you a great view of the beautiful plating that comes to your table. Now, onto the star of the show: the sushi. Every piece of fish we had was unbelievably fresh--clean, buttery, and rich in flavor without a hint of fishiness. You can taste the difference immediately. We started with a simple yet elegant sashimi platter, and each slice (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallop) was immaculate in cut, temperature, and texture. The tuna practically melted in my mouth, and the scallop was sweet and delicately briny in all the right ways. From there, we tried a few signature rolls, and they blew us away. One featured spicy tuna topped with seared salmon and a tangy yuzu drizzle--it was a flavor bomb in the best way. Another standout was their house special with unagi, avocado, and tempura flakes, delivering the perfect balance of creamy, crispy, and smoky. Even the rice--which is so often overlooked--was perfectly seasoned and just the right temperature. That attention to detail really speaks to the restaurant's commitment to quality. We also tried a miso soup and a small plate of shishito peppers while waiting, and both were great touches that made the experience feel even more complete. We highly recommend this sushi restaurant to sushi lovers !

3 stars for food, 5 stars for service and ambiance. Stays open late. Halibut nigiri and ikura. Fish tasted super clean and not fishy. Good flavor sushi rice. Paparazzi roll- this one was so disappointing. I asked to add spicy tuna and crispy onions. The spicy tuna had no seasoning and the onions were rubbery/oily. Rice wasn't seasoned. We only ordered a few items to see if it was good, but stopped after that and it came out to $60.

Another good sushi place in Vegas. Chinatown that is not all you can eat. They have great selection of sushi and sashimi - good quality of fish. They also had some Japanese pasta dish - the uni pasta is pretty good. They have good cocktails and Japanese beer selection. Server is great and helpful. Place is big and not crowded. Ample of parking sharing the Macys lot.

Not much stood out in our dinner. The unagi nigiri and yellowtail sashimi were the best items but not good enough to draw me back in, which would make it consistent with a 2 star rating on my chart. 4 stars Unagi Yellowtail 3 stars Salmon belly Hokkaido scallop sashimi Dynamite Blue crab roll 2 stars Chutoro roll Soft shell crab roll Crunchy roll Uni pasta - this was bland and rather disappointing

Incredible experience- the freshest fish and most beautiful presentation, along with amazing service!

Great service. Fresh sushi. Solid drinks. Attractive and relaxing environment. We went as a couple and then decided to bring our large party the next evening and everyone enjoyed it. We decided to go off strip because it was less expensive and less crowded. It was worth the drive and like any great local sushi joint, located in a strip mall. As a side note, our first server was a lovely Japanese woman, which immediately assured us we had chosen the right place. If you have an unlimited cash, of course you can find excellent sushi on the strip, but if you are looking for quality sushi for a fair (not cheap) price, then check out Taru.

Came here for a late dinner after leaving other places with long wait times and sure glad we did! Food was so good especially the 420 roll. Great recommendation! Place was nicely decorated and very clean. Definitely coming back!

We went there after the Jiu-Jitsu Nationals with a group of six. The service was excellent, the food was great, and I love that they have a full bar. Highly recommend!

Came last year when they just opened, but I believe they had an old location before. Delicious sushi, very fresh. Dont remember the names but got a chu toro and salmon roll. Regular portions size I couldve ate both rolls myself easily. Attentive staff. More on pricey side but still cheaper than sushi places on strip. Recommend if youre a tourist and dont mind coming to Chinatown.

Great little sushi spot off the strip. Sashimi was fresh. Service was very attentive. Restaurant was spacious and clean.

The restaurant was completely empty but a nice vibe- well decorated and seemed clean. The Brussels sprouts were delicious! I feel like a lot of places drench them in sauce and these were not. Would definitely order those again. The sushi was okay, the tuna was very very fresh and melted in my mouth but the salmon was the tiniest bit fishy and I wasn't a fan. Overall very good experience and will likely return

Delicious does not adequately cover the freshness and flavors that Taru brings. When you think of sushi in Vegas, do not sleep on this spot. There are so many special bites. Awesome for a date night.

LISTEN...... 20/20 stars.... Above and beyond expectations. The pictures don't lie, the food tastes good as it looks. The ambiance, the music 10/10. When you walk in they make you feel welcome and noticed. They check on you to make sure you are enjoying the food and experience. This is my new safe haven for good food. This is a must go and try.

Located on the infamous street of Spring Mountain where there are dozen upon dozens of great restaurants. This one is tucked at the end of a little building that also houses the ever so fantastic Sparrow and Wolf. So... it must be something about this building that serves up Great Eats. Thankfully (unlike most places on Spring Mountain), parking is not an issue since there is a big parking lot! The service, food and ambiance at Taru were Top Notch. We were greeted immediately upon entering. (We did have a reservation and I definitely recommend it on the weekend.) Everything was Delicious! The blue fin tuna melted in your mouth! The salmon was almost like butter. The yellowtail was creamy like. We had a bottle of sake too... I forgot to take a picture of the bottle. They have a good list of sakes so if you ware looking to try some... this would be a good place to do so. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. It's just too bad it's not closer to us otherwise we'd be here more often.

Not really sure why this place was so empty on a Saturday night. Outstanding sashimi, great service, very reasonable prices. Didn't get to any of the sushi rolls (ran out of room), but really appreciated the experience. Obviously, Vegas has a really top flight Asian food scene, but even in that context, Taru stood out for food quality, service and value.

This is where you go on a date! Service was amazing from start to finish. Thank you. It was nice and clean with great lightening. This place was a WIN ....

Taru is a great option for delicate fish, no-rice sushi rolls, hand-rolls and so much more. My date and I enjoyed some edamame to start off our dinner paired with a green iced tea. The other start was a plate of vegetable and shrimp tempura. Served hot, the tempura was deliciously crispy and flaky. For our main entree, we had a variety of sashimi options from market prices blue fin tuna to sockeye salmon. My favorite portion of my meal consisted of the no-rice sushi roll which is a rolled cucumber with tuna and avocado in the center. So fresh for a hot summer day! The presentation was gorgeous and perfect for my birthday dinner. I also really loved my date's choice of the blue crab sushi roll. Absolutely delicate crab with a roll that is NOT overwhelmingly covered in rice. Will definitely be returning to this place! Especially as it reminded us of our time in Japan with some authentic rolls, sashimi, and tea.

Fresh sushi, modern decor, excellent service. The presentation and taste of the smoked toro was exquisite. Unexpectedly however, the uni pasta was the star of the night. I could have easily ordered two more just for myself (wish I had some bread for the sauce). Need to try the omakase next time!

Interesting menu and good sushi. They were short staffed when we were there and had a few dishes presented to our table that we didn't order, turned away but the. Showed up on our bill. Despite that I'd still recommend based on the sushi quality.

This is why you find off the strip, a better value. Great cuts of fish, good service and the price was right. Honestly happy with this place all around. It's now going to be on my go to list when in Vegas! As a bonus, they have a good whiskey selection to go along with the Sushi

Everything was excellent! The service especially, but the care and artistry the two chefs (Ifredo and Sean) took with not only my plates but the omakase that I watched them create was exceptional. I loved sitting at the bar and chatting with Ifredo as he asked me what fish I loved to eat, what didn't I want and then proceeded to make the most delicious choices for the premium 10 piece sushi that I can only describe as heavenly. The servers were all so nice and really cared about the experience and food I had. Highly recommend going to TARU!

Terrific and attentive service. Simple and clean ambiance. Amazingly fresh fish. Freshly grated wasabi. Reasonably priced. You can always stay in budget while eating good food off strip. Highly encourage all to support the local economy!

Food. Absolutely perfect Service. Complete, gracious, informative Ambiance. Fitting Everything eaten was worth more than pricing on menu.

This is my second time at this establishment and it is hands down the best for sushi and food, we have tried so many different options on this menu and it keeps getting better and better. It is located in a plaza like setting my the restaurant is welcoming, beautiful and modern. It is a romantic vibe with open seating. The staff is very friendly and the food is the best.

Chu Toro Roll (BEST ROLL) we have had - could have eaten 3 of these alone. Sizzling Albacore - delicious!. Baked Mussels, its a super unique flavor - love the butter sauce. The fish is simply delicious- we had Nigiri servings of Albacore and Yellowtail - melt in your mouth. Last was a flight of different Belly cuts - and got the Sake flight - everything is so good we are super impressed. Definitely will be back! Thanks to John especially, we appreciate you. Top experience of my 20 year sushi journey

This is the best sushi I have found in Las Vegas. The smoked toro may be the best I've had in the country. We sat at the sushi bar and the chefs were fun and engaging and the owner even stopped by to greet and meet the table. Clean atmosphere and especially the restrooms. The most important thing for me is music volume and I was able to sit there for 2 hours and the volume was never a burden. Will definitely be back.

A total gem in Las Vegas for couple date dinner or celebration. Amazing service from John Hawaiian, he was knowledgeable, fun and attentive to our likings. Great quality of fish, very well prepared, and good price for omakase (probably the best in Vegas). Also got a chance to meet the owner a s thank you chefs. Love the upbeat music and hip ambience, totally not quiet and boring but much more fun and lounge like feel. Though, we wished the silverware, sittings would up to par with the whole setting. Nonetheless, it was an amazing experience for us both and we will definitely be back again on our next stay in Vegas. Thank you all so much!!!

The staff at this establishment went above and beyond to provide a better than great experience. Would highly recommend. They had a rose ready for us at our table for my anniversary and had excellent food. Great location.

This is my new favorite sushi place in Las Vegas. Food is delicious, service is great, restaurant is very cute. I'm upset I didn't find it sooner.

Food and service was amazing here. I am usually very skeptical of sushi restaurant in Vegas but this one blows my mind away. The prices are a bit high but you're paying for the high quality fish. This is very formal and almost high end dining type of vibe. Definitely good place for date nights. I highly recommend trying their sushi platter; the freshness of the fish is unparalleled.

Quality/Quantity - Sunset Roll - This is like having poke on top of a california roll; see pictures. The tomatoes threw me off and I think it had a little too much mayo. Lord of the Ring Roll - My wife's and daughter's favorite. It was good but not my favorite. Flamingo Roll - My order and my favorite. Had interesting and good combinations. It was one of the specials in the house. Spicy Salmon with chili oil, guacamole, garlic mayo carpaccio sauce. BulGoGi with Chicken - Fairly small portions, good thing we are light eaters. It also had way too many onions, and I like onions, but was not able to finish all of this... Maybe if there was more chicken...? Side Salad that came with our BulGoGi - My wife really liked the salad dressing. Personally, I would have preferred a different lettuce rather than just head lettuce. Miso Soup with our BulGoGi - Really flavorful and I do not drink soup often. They also had some Japanese micro beers, but I chose NOT to drink today. I know, can you believe it??? Atmosphere - Cool decor throughout. See pictures. Table, bench, or sushi bar seating. Plenty of parking spaces in the mall lot, but not enough to meet the demand of all the businesses here. We parked all the way in the back in the last few spaces. Open 7 days a week from 5pm to midnight. Service - Overall good. Jon and the waitress seemed overwhelmed. And it was not a full house today. He still did well, we just had to be more patient. Good thing we were not in any rush. The team did a good job getting us everything we asked for, extra ginger, water, etc. A little more proactiveness would have been nice. Price - $96 + tip. Reasonably priced for Japanese food. If you are following, we spent 33% less two nights ago at a different Japanese restaurant and left too full! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since December 2022.

A cozy sushi bar where you can enjoy great Japanese food and have some drinks with good friends! Service is attentive and friendly.

Excellent service. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Fish and fresh. Great for a date night.

I thought the sea urchin was my friend but it was anemone. Uni pasta: Two of my favorite things in one dish. I ordered the Uni Pasta ($35, lobster broth "for rich umami." Served with a couple of Santa Barbara uni pieces) and stole some bites of the I'm Stuffed Roll ($18, salmon and white fish with imitation crab baked with dynamite sauce, eel sauce and jalapeño) and shishito peppers ($9.75). All were good but I wasn't wowed. I felt that the Uni Pasta is deceptively named. While strong in seafood flavor, you could hardy tell there was any uni. For a $35 price tag, I would have expected to see perhaps a few chunks of uni because once you mix up the pasta, the two uni pieces on top just melts and disappears into a generic seafood sauce. As someone who will always get the uni pasta if it's on the menu, I was sorely disappointed. There are other Las Vegas eateries that offers more for the same price. It's a nice place and I wish there was an option to give them 3.5 stars. Our waitress was super friendly, informative, and quick to give out suggestions. I have to be honest and admit that I just don't see myself coming back here.

Went here for our last dinner in Vegas and loved it! The restaurant was elegant and clean. The staff were very welcoming and attentive the entire time we were there. The food was amazing! For an appetizer we got the oysters which were smaller in size but had a slightly sweet and salty taste. My husband got the wagyu ramen which he thought was pretty good. My daughter and I got the salmon, yellowtail and octopus sashimi. The fish was very fresh and the cuts were very thick! The Hokkaido Uni was perfection!!! Probably the best I've had. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Daniel was still in training but he was the best server we've ever had, and we eat out a lot! The food was fantastic!

Delicious, fresh sushi! The menu is extensive with both food items for apps and main entries, while having a great variety of sushi. The staff is super friendly, and the environment is relaxing and very nice. Great place for a date or with friends! The chef specials are also worth checking out! Two favorites: dragon roll and caterpillar roll. Garlic edamame is great too, along with the crispy Brussels sprouts.

If you're in Vegas and craving for sushi, you must try out TARU. From the aesthetics, amazing service, and fresh ingredients, it's definitely an experience. Our server, Jon, went above and beyond in taking care of us; constantly checking in on us and making sure we were taken care of. We will be coming back again!

We decided to try a new spot and we were let down. Aside from the water tasting odd, we felt ignored by staff since the moment we walked in. Then the restroom has only one stall that locks and the paper is out. The food was not impressive, just basic sushi. I wanted to really like it here.

Had a nice romantic dinner here with my spouse. It was the perfect spot !! Music and decor is amazing. The attention the service staff gave us was great. The best part is the sushi!! Soooo fresh and yummy! We had a nice sampling of several dishes. We will definitely go back !

I been there for my birthday the orange salmon I got was really good and my dad got this sushi roll it was really good I give it 13/10 what a good place.

The place was dead when we got there at 6:30 but by the time we left it was packed- we must eat too early for Vegas! Lovely place off the strip with super friendly service. We also had 3 small kids and they were really really nice to them. Allllll the food was amazing. The sushi literally melted in your mouth and was so fresh it tasted clean and pure. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was a star with the textures and temperature differences. Sticks of meat were ok- taste was good but just a small bit for the price Udon was flavorful with a nice broth and good noodle amount and it came with a small tempura with was super. We also got the miso mushroom pasta which was creamy and packed with umami. My sis hates mushroom but she was licking the plate. We got a few sushi rolls but I don't Remember the names but they were all super good and nice sizes. If I have to give it one knock the rice in the sushi rolls was weak. It didn't hold together at all so when you grabbed the slice you lost your rice. I almost had to get a fork. But texture and flavor were still on point. For sure will be returning on my next Vegas trip!

Most amazing and reasonably priced sushi I have had off strip Sashimi was world class

Omg!!!! I'm sooo glad I found you, TARU!!! Walking into this very chic establishment, the decor is on point! The servers waited on us very quickly and efficiently. First thing came to my mind I was very skeptical on how empty this place looks walking in on a Friday night. I was thinking maybe their food quality or their dish isn't up to par. As I was looking through their menu I was very impress on the amount of food items they had. So I'm like why not I'm here just give them a try. I decided to order the spicy garlic edamame, clam miso soup, Uni pasta, blacken mussels and a couple of the non rice sushi rolls. First dish came out the spicy edamame, wow it was on point. The sauce on the edamame was so flavorful with the right amount of spices to it. Clam miso soup was filled with live clams and it hit my stomach right on the spot. Let's not talk about the Uni pasta... oh my, they use the right amount of Uni to make the sauce and the flavoring was just heaven topped off with a fresh piece of Uni! The non rice sushi was great too. The fish was soooo fresh and love that I didn't have to add carbs. The last dish that was recommended by our server was the blacken mussels... oh boy I'm so glad we had ordered it! The sauce was so favorable we wanted to just sip it all up... I highly, highly recommend this place to anyone and I will be back once I visit Vegas again!!! Happy Eating!

Thank your Chef. The food was amazing. The staff were friendly and efficient. The decor and music is vibe. This night was a techno but there was a mix is music. I had the crispy salmon which was fanatic. The crispy Brussels sprouts were a great addition to the seaweed salad. One bit of the chef special flamingo rolls was beyond words. So delightful I had to stop eating to write this review. For people who have to have it cooked then Hidden dragon roll was a great as well. This was a great choice.

Excellent fish - properly aged, chefs add sauces and finishing touches, soy sauce is pretty much unnecessary; very enjoyable, attentive service.

Taru is a hidden gem. We were in town for a few days and quickly got tired of the chaos on the strip. Came across this place and happy we did. The food is . The drinks are . Kid and family friendly. And the service was nothing less than amazing. John is the best. Made our dining experience even better. Told him we would come back on my next trip! The prices are similar to Los Angeles. However, the quality of the food justifies what you're paying for. Quality is much better than most restaurants on the strip.

We visited yesterday for the first time. The atmosphere is nice and the decor is modern and romantic. Unfortunately, they were having some electrical issues and their A/C wasn't working so it was pretty warm in the dining room. The food however, was delicious. The sashimi and rolls were ordered were fresh. The oysters were also tasty! I look forward to returning again with their a/c working for an even better experience!
