We are back again and I'm sure John won't remember us. We car late at night after concerts few months back and had wonderful service by John and excellent sashimi. This time we are back since we fed the kids and wife craving for a great sushi. Ordered Shaginiyan platter and uni pasta to share including oyster. All was marvelous and tasty. This place can get busy and super busy but the 2 host/server maintain all spectacularly. I do feel bad for them running around and even though we waited the good side we get sake for free that keep flowing while we wait so no harm done. They know how to take care their customers. Give this a try and you will be amazed how great their food is. This place screams great first date ambiance. It's so romantics with plenty of drinks to choose from and of course John is the master mixer.

Recently went here for a late night bite, I had been previously but it had been awhile. Taru is a higher quality Japanese restaurant that specializes in sushi but also has great kitchen items. It's definitely a step above all you can eat as far as quality. I would say the best sushi spot in Chinatown that is not a Omakase or Kaiseki. When I went, it was getting into the late night, which I believe they're open pretty late until like 1 PM or something. They had a late night menu with some good dishes and good value, also specials on drinks. I remember getting a crudo dish and some small plates to share and everything was delicious. Ambience here is really nice. The decor is really elevated. The restaurant is really beautiful. Also, the service is really good. They have really great roles that you won't find anywhere else and I believe they make all the sauces in house.

Wow very (very) solid sushi experience. My group had a lot of nigiri, many rolls, and a sashimi platter. The fish is fresh. And they had a nice variety. My favorite was the jumbo scallop, salmon belly, and red snapper. We will definitely be coming back -- most of our group enjoyed the nigiri and sashimi more than the rolls.

We decided to visit Taru on a whim on a random Thursday night. We were seated immediately upon arrival and were greeted by a very nice server whose name I now no longer recall. I am so sorry. I ordered an old fashioned which took a little bit longer to come out. As a result of that, the server made it super special and turned it into a smoked old fashioned. What a nice touch/service recovery. Everything we had here was divine as shown on the pictures. The sushi was fresh and the oysters, albeit being tiny, packed so much flavor. The Uni pasta was interesting, but in a good way. I would say the price point is truly warranted because of the quality of the fish and other dishes, as well as the exemplary service that is provided during the meal. The server even asked for our names and shook our hands as we were about to leave. I hope that Taru stays in business for a long, long time. We will be back to support, no doubt.

Located off the strip but worth a short drive. Probably some of the best sushi I've tried. Very fresh fish. Highly recommend smoked sashimi appetizer. 5/5. We tried a few different rolls, sashimi salad, miso soup and finished the dinner with green tea tempura ice cream. All very good. Restaurant itself is a beautiful venue with contemporary interior design, open concept kitchen and lovely lighting fixtures. Service was great, helpful and genuine. We will be back when visiting Vegas. Many thanks for the yummy dinner and hospitality!

We checked out Taru for the first time last weekend. The ambience is great for date night vibes. The staff is warm, attentive, ajd knowledgeable. We opted for the spicy margarita, half dozen raw oysters, pork belly, chicken thigh, and short rib skewers, mussels and clams, and an assortment of nigeri. The oysters and nigeri were some of the best I've had in Vegas so far. A great sushi spot when you want to dine off the strip!

We came before the BSB concert on Sunday at like 530 surprisingly it wasn't more full here. We got seated right away and ordered hot tea. They have a really extensive menu and we had settled on a few things to order. We got the truffle salmon sashimi, chu toro roll, winter flower roll, creamy salmon, koki wrap, soft shell crab roll. The highlights were the truffle salmons sashimi, chu toro roll and the koki wrap. All the rolls didn't have too much rice which was excellent but some of them weren't that many pieces. We weren't super hungry but some didn't get to try some rolls. Total for 5 w/tax & tip:$280

Service is great, very friendly and fast. Fresh sushi and great hot dishes. The tonkatsu and miso black cod were delicious and the crazy salmon roll. This is our second time here and it'll be on our regular rotation.

Super clean sushi spot with great vibes! The decor is beautiful -- modern, relaxing, and really well done. The sushi is incredibly fresh and delicious, honestly reminds me of omakase quality but way more affordable. The service was amazing -- everyone was so friendly and attentive. And I have to mention their uni spaghetti -- absolutely incredible! Creamy, rich, and full of flavor. Definitely one of my new favorite sushi places -- can't wait to come back!

With so many AYCE sushi places in Vegas sometimes you just want good quality sushi at a good price and TARU is the ideal place for it! Their fish is fresh and always on point. I've been here 3 times now and they never disappoint. From the ambiance to the service to the food quality everything is top notch. We got the uni pasta this time. Very rich and creamy. A little on the oily side but soooo good. Definitely highly recommend this place

This restaurant by far is the most well taken care of. The moment you walk in, the interior design is really pretty and unique. The hostess, server and chefs were absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for adjusting to our allergies and making us feel welcomed by recommending the best options on the menu. Food was delicious and they have fresh wasabi! We definitely found our new favorite spot! Thank you TARU team!

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

TARU is definitely at top of ALL the Japanese restaurants we have ever been to! The restaurant is typical Japanese Style, minimalist and spotless! Went here per recommendation from a friend's friend who is local. (Who we met at TARU). Told us this the BEST Japanese restaurant! Service here is unparalleled! We were fortunate to have the owner navigate us throughout our dining experience! I don't claim to be a connoisseur but from the very first course to the very last, EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! You can tell everything was FRESH! The sake recommended was superb! SERVICE was EXCELLENT! Thank you so much for one of best and most memorable dinners we had in Vegas!!!

Finally got around to trying this place and I am so thankful I did. This will definitely be my go to Sushi restaurant going forward. I came in Sunday evening and we were seated immediately. There were about three other tables at the restaurant so it was pretty empty. This is Located in a shopping center so parking is pretty easy to find. I ordered some sushi pieces and a few rolls and ended up paying about $100. I think this is pretty standard for the quality sushi that I received. All three rolls were exceptional, but my favorite was the one wrapped in soy paper, it was such a fresh roll. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and there was no fishy taste to it. Service was amazing and I had a pretty good conversation with the waiter there. This place is open pretty late so you'll be able to grab a late dinner and the ambience is incredible - perfect for a date night. My review is as follows: - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 - Ambiance 5/5

My word for this place is Wow! When you first walk in, it's a really nice ambience. The place was pretty packed so best to make a reservation. We didn't wait very long till we got seated. But the food was top notch stellar, from the presentation to the taste. It was a bit of a wait for our order but worth the wait. Our server Jonny was very attentive and made sure we were ok. Everything we ordered was amazing. Their top seller Chu Toro is definitely a must try. The cucumber salad, the crispy brussel sprouts were also very good. And the empire of the sun was delicious! Plenty of parking in the lot. There are plenty other restaurants in the same area which I've also tried but this place is my favorite sushi spot now.

Single-handedly the best sushi experience I've had in my life! John was our server phenomenal. It was my birthday and they treated us like a king and queen even got them to do bluefin tuna gun style, which is the seaweed with rice inside and the fish on top!

We had a great experience - sat at the sushi bar and Chef Shawn was fun to chat with! The sushi was very good quality and the rolls were so tasty. They also have specials daily, including fish from Japan! Highly recommend stopping here for a meal!

This restaurant was fabulous! Some of our family members were a bit apprehensive about going to a sushi restaurant (not sushi fans), but there was an abundance of non-sushi items. The restaurant is gorgeous - cool music in the background, very pleasing and grown up. We were warmly greeted and our family of 10 had a great table. John, our server, was on top of everything. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Amazing service the entire staff was attentive and friendly. Ambiance is clean, trendy and comfortable. The menu has the freshest seafood and variety of flavorful dishes and high end presentations. Our server John was knowledgeable and also suggested off menu items. Indulge in the craft and custom drinks I had a Lychee martini (with actual lychee). Think menu has an import list. A gem on Spring Mountain reminds me of strip restaurants w/o the hassle of tourist. We were a dinner for 2 and enjoyed Rolls, sashimi, crispy rice, cucumber salad shrimp/octopus and dessert. Definitely a must have for our local sushi foodies.

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.

I had a great solo dining experience at Taru. The sashimi was some of the best I've ever had, fresh and buttery. I ordered the Truffle Sashimi Trio, Hidden Dragon Roll, and oysters, all of which were delicious. The ambiance was elegant, and the host John was very kind and attentive. The bill was about $60, and I didn't order any drinks. I do wish I had ordered a no-rice roll or some of the fresh fish rolls instead of the tempura roll, but overall, it was still excellent. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. I'd love to come back to try the Empire of the Sun and Chutoro Roll next time.

It was our first visit to this restaurant. We don't know about their food, we started order 20 pcs of Chef Combo Sashimi. The server explained us, Chef choice sashimi plate, it will have 2 pcs of fish. But what we got 4 kinds of 4 pcs of Sashimi & 2 kids of 2 pcs Sashimi. Even Yellowtail was very fishy taste. It was definitely overpriced. Do you think, It is $95 value, really? I'm not respecting this dish at $95. If I have assorted sashimi plate with different kinds of fishes, and better quality, I may write about good review. But I can't believe what I got. If I have better food tonight, I would love to order more dishes, but I didn't. I just pay it and leave the restaurant and go to another restaurant to finish my dinner. To be honest with you, plating itself looks okay. But taste and quality is not good as nice plating. So sad.

John is amazing and is more passionate about fresh fish than anyone I've ever ver met. This is some of the very best sushi I have ever had. Amazing sake and tequila selection. The fish was incredible, especially the smoked toro. WOWWW I'll be coming back here every time I'm in Vegas. The besssst

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 !

Absolutely amazing place -- I truly can't stress this enough! The service was exceptional: super friendly, attentive, and professional. My family was visiting from out of town, and they left completely in love with this restaurant. The chef even came to our table to personally explain the dishes -- such a thoughtful touch!

Enjoyed the food. The kitchen was very quick with making the food. Will visit again when I come back to Vegas.

Amazing, quality sashimi and sushi rolls. Arguably the best off-strip gem. Ive been here a handful of times now and each time has been superb.

Very disappointing experience. Paid $95 for the chef mix of sashimi. It is way overpriced for 20 pcs since they did not include any premium fish option. They were cut very small and thin that we left hungry. Fish we received were salmon, yellowtail, tuna (not even chutoro), red snapper, and mackerel. . Sorry no pics since it was so disappointing, we didn't even care to snap away.

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.

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

Nobu is great, but Taru is a far better experience. Sit at the bar and let Eugene concoct a fabulous sushi meal with some of the best and freshest fish you can find. It is a short trip off the strip in Chinatown, but absolutely worth it and cheaper than Nobu.

The food was absolutely excellent for the price point as where the cocktails! Service was on point! I would highly recommend. We will visit again on our next trip there.

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.

Just got done eating there for our first time. Wow! Amazing! It's been awhile a sushi place made me tell myself.. I would definitely come back here again! Everything we ordered was so good! Thank you again for the services! Will definitely be back!

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.

Great food and excellent service This was my second time eating and the restaurant seating is specious, clean and service oriented.

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.

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

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

Love this place! Consistent with freshness / quality of food and great service. Comfortable seating and relaxing ambiance. Smoked o toro sashimi, tempura and the branzino are a couple of our favorites but we have yet to find something on the menu we didn't like.

This was probably the best sushi I've ever had and the service was great, too. We're looking forward to going back.

Everything went well. Food was amazing. Service was spectacular. Ambiance was cozy and welcoming.

Food: 5/5 great quality of fish. Found all dishes to be exceptional. I recommend the uni pasta and all the Toro selections. Service: 2/5 (friendly staff, food took too long. Found ourselves raising our hands trying to get staff attention multiples times due to food taking long. Constantly asking for refills. I'll cut them some slack because I did have a party of 15.) Ambiance: 5/5 (perfect for both intimate and social occasions. Ot too loud or too quiet.)

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!

Food is great and service is top notch. We love coming here for sushi. It's our go to for a sushi craving.

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.

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.
