Sawa sushi

This quickly became my go to spot for a quick sushi lunch or dinner. The salmon skin salad is incredible. Pair it with some nigiri and you have an inexpensive, but delicious meal. I go here at least weekly for lunch!

Super friendly staff and amazing fresh sushi! Clean and comfy atmosphere and they have some great specials! Definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!!

OBSESSED. Found this local spot on a whim based upon reviews. And WOW. came 3 weeks in a row. Delicious. Fresh. And great deals. Staff is fun and friendly too. Already brought 2 other people with me and they both loved it too.

Delicious sushi, fast service, super affordable compared to other sushi places and service was amazing! The lady serving us has the sweetest soul.

Hands down, had to come here every time we’re in town the food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Our favorite was the salmon teriyaki. Highly recommended .

I really like the lunch special bentos and rolls. They serve good quality fish and provide expedient and friendly service. You can call to order to go, but you do not want to miss out on the hospitality and vibes. I was pretty disappointed that my hamachi kama came out dry and burnt; it was honestly the worst I’ve ever had. :(

Easily one of my favorite sushi spots in town. The rolls are amazing (dha, garlic albacore, and titanic are my favs), the service is top notch (brittany is wonderful), and the orders come out quick. I love their buy 2 rolls, get 1 free deal.

Have visited many times, Britany and the staff always provide great service and a quality experience and the Sushi is always fresh. Prices are good and I keep coming back. Appetizers available spicy edamame and tempura are my go to and the #16 DHA roll if you love a little spice and don’t be afraid of the 911 roll , the crispy grilled onions are awesome flavor.

Walked in and was greeted and seated right away. Great for lunch as they have the bento box and it comes with salad, miso soup, tempura and your choice of meat and California rolls (4pcs) Service was super great, food was good and it's a small Asian restaurant.

This was my first time at Sawa Sushi (and also my first sushi experience in Las Vegas that wasn't AYCE) and I was pleasantly surprised! I went on a weekday evening, and it wasn't too busy, so we were seated quickly and our food came out fast. They have a great buy 2, get 1 free deal on rolls, so we tried the Rockin' Roll, Monkey Brain Roll, and Japanese Lasagna Roll. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Unlike many AYCE spots, each roll felt distinct and thoughtfully made, both in flavor and presentation. The portion size was perfect for two hungry people, though I think we could've easily added an appetizer or another roll and still finished everything. The overall atmosphere was calm and clean, making for an enjoyable and relaxed dinner. I'm really glad to have found a solid sushi spot nearby that serves high-quality rolls without the AYCE rush. Definitely planning to come back when the sushi cravings hit!

Solid Japanese fare in south LV. On way home, daughters were craving Japanese food so they split a tempura udon, edamame, and ikura sushi. Matsu combo had 7 pieces of nigiri and California rolls. The rice quality was subpar but fish was decent. Tempura was actually ebi fry. But delicious. Salmon skin salad was refreshing they add shichimi to spice up the dressing. All in all, nice strip mall dive for a Japanese bite. Service was friendly.

Came for the frosty Sapporo mug and stayed for the sushi! everything was really reasonably priced and the sushi was better than i expected it to be! They have a buy 2 get one free on specialty rolls and you get a free hot sake with your large beer purchase. Would come back!

Everything is sensational, from the super friendly and upbeat people working there to the fresh, fresh, fresh and super tasty rolls. And to boot, sometimes they have buy 2 get 1 free, which I partook. It's worth the trip.

Sawa Sushi is definitely one of my husband's go-to locations. We enjoy their buy two get one free deal on sushi rolls. My husband and I have our go-to choices on the menu and it's so great that the server there remembers our orders. The workers there make you feel welcome and their service is great. The sushi chefs are so nice and their presentation of food is nice. Overall, our experiences with Sawa Sushi have always been great. Love coming here. They never disappoint

I've eaten here before and had forgotten how good it was! Sawa Sushi, located on Blue Diamond Rd, is nestled between an optometry practice and Sport Clips. Fair warning: the restaurant is in a small space with one server and about 1-2 sushi chefs. It can get pretty crowded during peak hours. [Parking] plentiful! Dont worry, you'll be able to find a spot. I recently came in to have lunch with my sister. We skipped the lunch specials and ordered from their Buy 2 get 1 free menu. We had: * House salad - we loved the ginger dressing and the portion was big enough for the both of us (we didn't even finish it). * Edamame - warm and sprinkled with salt. Yum * Krabby Patty Roll - deep friend and topped with imitation crab. The sauce was delicious, and we also dipped it into the ginger salad dressing. * Crispy Rice Roll - crunchy and tasty. [Service] excellent! Our server did a great job juggling multiple tables while keeping everyone happy. Overall: 5 stars. Reasonable prices, great service, and good food. Enjoy!

Came across this spot and boy are we so happy we did! This is our new date night spot! The service was great and I personally love when the chefs make conversations with you while making your delicious rolls! Sapporo in a frosted mug! Yummy sushi ! What's better ??? Coming. Back.

Best sushi I've ever had! I am from California and we don't have anything on the place. The authenticity and atmosphere is unmatched! Service is incredible! She is such a sweet lady & I believe her husband is the master chef! Amazing experience every time me and my wife come! Don't sleep on this place!

Great sushi, great service! Ordered the crunch shrimp roll, chiban roll, and the caterpillar roll before we got there, and it was ready before their given time.

I'm obsessed with sushi wrapped in cucumber and this place will literally cucumber wrap any roll on their menu. I was a bit disappointed when I asked him for no cucumber skin on my sushi and the chef told my waitress that it's always cucumber skin on the rolls, but that just isn't fully true because I've definitely come to this establishment several times and had them remove the skin completely with no issues. I just wish it was a matching ambiance to the amazing taste of the food lol.

We've been coming here for years, and they never disappoint! The food is always fresh and tastes great every time. Plus, you can't go wrong with the "buy 2 rolls, get 1 free" special. The service is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The restaurant is small but clean and well-managed. It's located in a large shopping plaza, so parking is never an issue.

My friend took me here, & then I took my husband here for lunch. Oh my gosh! Be warned, the Bento Box Lunch is super big! So much food I had two meals out of it! I had the Teriyaki Salmon, it came with CA rolls, tempura, miso soup, salad, rice, & 2 HUGE salmon filets! I also ordered a side of sushi with it, which I probably didn't need. I could taste the freshness and quality of the food here. The sushi chefs are excellent at preparing good looking dishes! We ate at the sushi bar. The service was quick. We will definitely be coming back again!

Nice little sushi restaurant. Good service. Food was very good. Definitely would go back.

Date night is on a Friday at my place and on a Saturday at my boyfriend's place. Our recent date night fell on a Saturday and we chose to go to Sawa Sushi, located on Blue Diamond in the building right next to In-N-Out. We love sushi and we haven't had it in a while. We walked in and it was very busy! One of the waitresses there greeted us and guided us to a table in the back next to the sushi bar. With so many sushi joints here in town, it's always hard to pick just one favorite. This joint had lots of sushi options to choose from, and we chose to go with three different sushi types. We started off with fried calamari with dipping sauce as our appetizer. The calamari was crispy and had a great taste to it, but I did not get the chance to try the dipping sauce. For sushi, we chose the Philadelphia Roll (one of my all time favorites), the Rainbow Roll, and the Crunchy Dragon Roll. The Philadelphia Roll and Rainbow Roll were spot on and had lots of flavor to them. My boyfriend said that the Crunchy Dragon Roll, which he ordered for himself, was excellent. I shared the Rainbow Roll with him and I thought it was really good too. I really liked this sushi place! I would like to come back again in the future.

We just moved in the southern highlands area so we've been exploring this side of town and the food options in the neighboring area. There's not really a legit sushi spot in this area that I've found. We've frequented Sapporo Revolving Sushi most just for the price and the staff but we decided to try somewhere else. Sawa Sushi is an a la carte sushi restaurant on blue diamond. I would describe the place as casual- there is not a ton of decor or ambience. They are known for their sushi roll special, which I honestly forgot what it was, but I believe it was buy to get one free. We did one of their sushi boats, which came with special rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. We also got a couple appetizers. I tend to like à la cart sushi places for the quality. Overall this place was more like a 3.5 out of five. I thought it was about average as far as food goes. I didn't love the sushi rice and the portions or rice to fish ratio weren't anything special. It's kind of just a run of the mill sushi spot. I did think the server was really nice and made the experience pleasant which is why this is getting a round up from the 3.5. I believe she had an accent of someone who lived in Hawaii. Overall I think the value is there. The sushi boat fed three of us along with the appetizers. I wouldn't say the taste or quality is anything better than an all you can eat spot so I'd find more value going to an AYCE spot and having a variety to choose from.

Completely empty restaurant yet for a party of one they insist on seating you in a tiny table, again completely empty restaurant, walked out, There are other Japanese Restaurants in the area with friendlier customer service. Now I understand why the restaurant was completely empty.

Amazing service, the fish was so fresh, definitely a step up from the better AYCE spots out here. Will definitely come again for the great buy 2 get 1 free roll special they have

Lots of imitation (fake) crab, "spicy" chopped fish and cream cheese filled rolls to enjoy. It doesn't seem to be a very authentic Japanese sushi restaurant even though its business profile highlights it. The hot green tea though was served properly frothed (it wasn't in a tea bag). Curious why they don't spell crab with a "K" (i.e. Krab) or note it's not actually crab but flavored seafood blend? The amount of pickled ginger and wasabi provided for two people was minimal. Service was attentive and welcoming. We ordered four special rolls. Noticed the pieces of fish were very small. We did find rolls that didn't contain imitation crab and chopped spicy fish parts. While the seaweed salad was enjoyable, the portion served was extremely small. Rating it 2* as we anticipated it'd be a more authentic Japanese sushi venue based on its marketing. The wasabi wasn't fresh and portion was small, soy sauce wasn't homemade, and lots of spicy fish parts and fake crab. When compared to other sushi restaurants in Vegas, it's on the OK list. The main ingredient in imitation crab is surimi, (Alaskan Pollock), which is typically mixed with water, starch, sodium, sugar, egg whites, vegetable oil, and additives such as Gums, red colorant, Glutamates, artificial flavoring and preservatives. It has often has less nutritional value than real crab; therefore, it'd be helpful if restaurants that use Fake or Imitation-Crab spell crab with a K (Krab) so consumers aren't misled at point of sale and they can chose to consume imitation crab or not.

Food was amazing! Staff were great and friendly. This is really a nice local spot to eat!

Best sushi place for lunch. So fresh and the service was really attentive. We ordered so much food and it was so affordable. The restaurant is located in a Target shopping plaza so shop the eat.

The food is absolutely delicious, always hits the spot. The servers are so sweet and on top of everything, remembers my family & I's order. It's very cute and small inside, love the vibes.

I've been coming to Sawa sushi for about 7 years and this review is long overdue. The food is always fresh. The server Britney is phenomenal and always remembers what I order. You can't beat the buy 2 rolls and get 1 free. The food comes out quickly and it's such a hidden gem. Again not all you can eat, but affordable and quality is top notch.

My favorite sushi spot in Vegas. The fish is fresh, soft, delicate, and delicious. This is my husbands an I third time here. We went for the Sawa boat this time. It's the best combo if you want sashimi, nigiri, and your choice of two special rolls. I love having their spicy ponzu sauce to dip sashimi or nigiri in. The staff is kind and attentive. I love it here.

I just love this place, my family have become regulars. The sushi is always fresh and the service is magnificent. Highly recommend it if you want an early meal, or want to get some sushi for a take home treat .

Good sushi always fresh and great tasting, quick service with great employees, always a go to for my take out because they always package quick and it stays fresh!

Yummmmm! Great service, fresh and fabulous sushi and it's a really cute place! Going back tonight!

Sawa Sushi was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! It was quite and small plus is had a great vibe. Service was excellent and quick My group of 3 were celebrating a birthday and originally were trying to go to a recommended place but it ended up being closed so I did what I always do and got on Yelp and found this gem. It had great reviews so we just had to try it. We thought it was all you can eat BUT it ended up being even better buy 2 rolls & get one free all the rolls were exceptional and the sushi was soooooooooooooooooooooo fresh and it was bomb. Flavors were fantastic and the names were cool anyways go try it out you won't be mislead!

Picked up food to go. My first time trying it. It was good. I got the DHA provider, fried gyoza, and cucumber salad. I asked for the DHA with extra salmon instead of tuna.

Nice ambiance, friendly staff & great sushi. Will definitely visit again when in Vegas

Amazing food and service not too many seats but it is not that busy of a spot favorite sushi place. Very nice music too not to loud either also a nice atmosphere

Amazing prices, rolls are fresh and tasty. Highly recommend the volcano roll. Good service, constantly refilling waters and tea. Cool Japanese ambiance, and calming music in the backround

My first sushi experience and i'm not disappointed. this place had very fast and friendly customer service. I had a multiple of rolls and everything was fantastic. I also had tempura shrimp and gyoza also fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Let me just start off saying.....this is NOT AYCE My son and I come here for lunch on occasion and we love this place! The service is always phenomenal and the food always taste delicious. Between the both of us we share a bento box and can't even finish it. It's very filling! If you're in the mood for some rolls they are also very delicious but will definitely rack up your bill! I believe the deal is buy 2 get 1 free. I recommend giving this place a try if you want sushi but don't want to stuff your face.

Great tasting food- good serving size, reasonable price , congenial servers in a very clean, cozy place !

This place never let me down the best of the best in town. Excellent sushi place to visit amazing customers service. Five star local restaurant come and visit you will not get disappointed. Steven the chef top notch best sushi I ever have. Highly recommended five start

I came here for lunch and ordered the shrimp tempura roll. It was not crunchy or warm, so clearly not fresh. Why would you pre-make a fried dish? The waitress was nice and attentive, but the food disappointed on every level. This has been a great lunch go to for me for years but I won't return and I would not recommend this restaurant.

This seems like a family restaurant. The waitress is from Japan, which is a rarity in the U.S.; most Japanese restaurants are owned and managed by Chinese or Korean owners and chefs. The menu caters to the American palate. There are the standard Japanese restaurant items that you would expect on the menu - there are few options that are uniquely Japanese specialty items. No fugu on the menu! There are, however, quite a few rolls available, and there is an ongoing discount of 3 rolls for the price of 2. We went for the bento box. There were 3 of us, and we had the salmon, beef, and chicken bento boxes. The food was fresh, filling, and appetizing. Lastly, the prices are about half to 2/3 what you would expect to pay in other sushi restaurants. The bento boxes were about $17. We also had edamame, which was $3.50 and a small hot sake flask, which was also $3.50. So you can save yourself some hard-earned cash that you will later blow at the nearby casinos. You will walk away feeling satiated and satisfied.

I've eaten here many times. Great food and service. Very comfortable with Great soft music. Great experience and everytime the food is fresh and delicious Would recommend with 10 stars Great job! $5mike

Came here on Christmas Day. It was a time saver since it was crowded at the other sushi restaurant. We followed another couple that left the crowded restaurant so it was a local recommendation. Servicer was nice and gave us suggestions since we visited out of town. Food came out fast. They have buy 2 rows with 1 free. We ordered 6 sushi rows, ramen bowl and a sashimi bowl. Then we ordered a boat with beer that came with warm sake. Everything was good also I can't remember what the names of our orders were. Can't go wrong. The place was clean and quiet. We would definitely come back when we visit Vegas.

Heaven on earth i love this place! I love how the workers work in a flowy pace and theyre all working well together! For a guest this place is so calm, relaxing, and enjoyable! Perfect food

They need higher chairs at the sushi bar. They are too low. Everything else looks a fantastic!

My favorite sushi place in Las Vegas been coming here for years and will continue as long as I live here nice staff and management

Stopped into Sawa Sushi for lunch while out shopping. Great food and ambiance! Service was great and the price was right!

I ordered takeout from here on a Saturday night and there was about an half hour wait. I didn't dine there so I can't comment on the service. The restaurant is dimly lit and quite small. DHA provider roll - 5/5 my favorite roll I got. Types of fish and sauce went together really well Aloha maki roll - 4/5 was not a fan of the cilantro inside so I took it out. Otherwise it was tasty, a bit spicy Salmon poke - 2.5/5 portions are tiny!! Just a few pieces of salmon and some vegetables I would not recommend getting this Salmon nigiri - 5/5 Unagi nigiri - 5/5 Another note: they don't take Apple Pay!! Cash or card only. I haven't tried enough items on their menu to decide if I would recommend this spot or not but it's not a bad option.

Food is all tasty and to my standard when i go to eat at a japanese restaurant my favorite so far and their Server are so friendly and accomodating.

Amazing the portion sizes, the freshness, and the flavors are great! The service was impeccable. Would recommend coming here if you're in the area!

The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and kept our drinks full. Our table ordered 4 different rolls, ebi tempura, miso soup and spicy edamame. All items had good flavor. The restaurant is small and cozy. Great place for a quick meal or date night.

I remember the food here being alright albeit I haven't eaten here in awhile so I might have to come back and try again! I like the decorations of the restaurant, there is a small amount of seating though so it's probably best to make a reservation. Service was good from what I remember. Food didn't come out super quick but that's okay. It's an all around good sushi place!
