Rising Sun

My favorite spot to take a date. Right next door to where I live. The spicy edamame is to DIE for, and so are the jalepeno poppers. The sashimi a la carte is also excellent! The only place I have found Snow Beauty; a unfiltered sake that is creamy and sweet. Sometimes the only hang up is actually leaving here; staff can be a little slow to actually «ring you up» and bring you a check. This the only downside about the place. With two happy hours though (including a late night reverse happy hour) it makes this spot ideal as all I have do to do for great sushi is walk right next door.

Delicious! Way fresher than a lot of the sushi in California and it’s in the middle of the desert! Not too crowded. I ordered the ginger house salad, low carb sin city roll and yellowtail sashimi. It was all amazing! And their bathroom and décor is super cute too. Well worth venturing away from the strip! I’ll be coming back here to try more of their dishes.

I love this place! Came back again and the experience was great again! We did not order any happy hours items and I can’t believe how good the roll was! The fried rice was the best I have ever had. Ask for their house special, it will be the best you’ll ever have like the scallop sashimi. Can’t wait to come back!

Nice place and well worth the visit. I know I’ll be back.
Good impression when you walk in — clean and modern looking.
Food is very good with lots of variety. They even have low carb rolls on the menu.
It’s just off the strip so very close. If you’re staying at the Westin Las Vegas on Flamingo you could walk to this place

We’ve walked by this place a million times in the last 8 or so years of convention visits. We had never given it a thought because we were always on our way to a bigger name restaurant with in walking distance of the hotel.
We may never forgive ourselves for skipping it for so long. We walked in to a wonderful looking restaurant, an oasis so to speak. Seated in a cool round booth and then we were just amazed at the onslaught of food that we had. Service was excellent. Food was fantastic. My boss and I think that it may have been the best sushi we’ve ever had. If not the best than damn close. Try the rock n roll roll. It was so good, we used the garnishing to mop up the sauces.

Hands down, our new favorite Vegas sushi place! All around beautiful experience from the ambiance, to the flavor, to the service. A real pleasure. :)

11 $ for a spicy tuna roll … During happy hour … That’s all I have to say … I can go across the street for 25 $ all you can eat

I’ve eaten a lot of great sushi in Vegas, but none have been better than what I experienced at the Rising Sun! Great food, great service!

Amazing sushi here. Great drinks and a nice get away from the strip. You need to stop by here when your in LV.

Came here on a whim while on a date with my wife. We were not expecting much but were pleasantly surprised. The sushi was fresh and very flavorful. Will be attending again soon.

It was confortable place, happy hour made us have a good deal. Chicken ball was not Japanese styke Tsukune, it was different.

Very good. Very affordable. Wow, awesome variety of classic and fusion. Loved the jalapeño poppers and geisha girl. And most of all the bill. We got seriously bloated on sushi and Sapparos and spent less than $ 100 including tip.

Tony Tan! You’re the best! Thanks for the service and for offering your place up for dinner meetings that I’ll be conducting. I’ll be in touch soon to set this up.
If you happen to be looking for good sushi @ the right price this is the place to rock! The atmosphere is the best, the venue to relaxing and the there’s not a bad seat in the house.
Carry on Tony!

Love this jap spot!
This is right next to the meridian, where I usually stay in vegas.
No wait when you come here, the place is clean, and you can even sit on couches during your meal! loved being able to stretch my legs out and comfortably eating.
I ordered the shrimp tempura udon! The bok choy was so good in it and the broth was perfect. It tasted like there wasn’t a lot of sodium (which I liked) and it tasted overall healthy. They portioned the soup and udon perfectly, which i appreciated.
However, I did not like how the shrimp tempura gets soggy inside the soup, next time I will request no shrimp tempura, or if they can put if off to the side because it keeps breaking apart as it was inside the soup. yuck.
But the soup was great, I will be here again!!!
The customer service is awesome! They tried accommodating our entertainment needs by changing the channel on the TV for us, which was sweet because they didn’t have to do that for us!
My cousin also enjoyed this place as well (she got the yakitori and was very satisfied), good job guys!

Rising Sun is east of Las Vegas Boulevard, just off the Las Vegas Strip. The décor inside is nice and had been put together with well thought. The lighting is a shade off white so if you were to take a picture of your food be sure to have your flash on so it doesn’t tint the color with yellow.
I was here for happy hour. Happy Hours are from 5 – 8, and 10 – 12. And from the prices, it’s about 50% off. Awesome deal! Awesome if it actually saved you money. The prices are so high, maybe because it’s so close to the strip but dining here during Happy Hour is the only way to go. Five hours out of seven is happy hour, can’t beat that.
I started off with the Kiss of Geisha, it was strong. It was good. It was delicious. You and I, we like to drink. Sake, Grey Goose, and Cranberry. The grilled chicken and bacon chicken were good.
I walked up to the chef because I know the server wouldn’t know the answer so I asked for what’s fresh today and he said everything. There is always something more fresh than others. I asked if they had salmon and yellowtail toro, they did! I ordered one each. The salmon belly was not fatty at all, it was double layered also because I don’t think he had any.
If you look at the supposed fatty salmon:
Compared to the regular salmon (nigiri special):
You can clearly see it’s the same cut. I would rather be told they didn’t have it than to be served regular salmon nigiri sushi with an extra piece on top. Little integrity issue there. The fatty yellowtail came out next and this had a little fat to it, I’m guessing he’s saving the actual good cuts for his VIP customers because this was not up to fatty standards. You want to see that oil, you want it to melt in your mouth, I shared the second piece with Anthony because I could already tell I was going to be disappointed. We were just at Kaze Sushi eating some good cut of Yellowtail Belly, and this didn’t even come close.
Both of those came out to almost $ 20, I would pay that much for good cuts but this was robbery.
Lastly I ordered some deep fried oreo’s, it’s not Mermaids quality but better. I was happy with it, and the cheap ice cream served with it. We were given other items as well but I’m only reviewing the items I paid for. I do have to say that the roll topped off with a splash of yuzu sauce was my favorite roll. I don’t eat rolls so I would have ordered more nigiri or sashimi special but I didn’t want to be jipped again.
Service was good, especially for one person to take care of our party of 12 and one other table across the room.

Came to Rising Sun sushi restaurant on E. Flamingo Rd (across from Tuscany casino) for a recent UYE. The restaurant is nicely decorated, plays a fantastic playlist of music, and is really clean.
One of the main selling points of this sushi spot is their Happy Hour (in addition to their regular menu, they offer a limited HH menu of food and drinks). They actually have two of them (5pm-​8pm and 10pm-​midnight, excluding holidays). Another for out of town visitors staying at nearby casinos and resorts is its proximity to the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip.
Personal highlights of the food I tried are:
Miso Yummy Roll (shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber inside and topped with salmon and miso dressing) being one of my favorite.
Cherry Popper Roll is good too. If you like California Roll and tuna plus a little spicy orange sauce, then you will like this.
Their Japanese Chicken Meatball served yakitori style is a nice salty appetizer, and I think everyone at the table enjoyed it.
Hangover Roll is an interesting one. It has hot link sausage, avocado and cream cheese wrapped in bacon then tempura fried, with sprinkles of parmesan cheese, scallions and drizzles wasabi mayo. I am glad I tried it, but will probably save room for something else in future visits.
Wild Salmon Sashimi was good. It is not the traditional sashimi (just slices of fresh fish) served in Japan, but new style sashimi made popular by Nobu.
If I was rating the restaurant solely based on food, creativity and taste of the rolls, service and ambiance it will get 4 stars. But factoring in the overall price/​value, I would have to only rate it 3 stars. The main reason being that nigiri is not part of the HH menu, and at regular price is more than most off-​Strip non-​AYCE sushi restaurants in Las Vegas.
3 stars (A-​OK).

I am very impressed by this place. Although they do not offer AYCE, they have an awesome happy hour sporting ½ priced special rolls, some sashimi, drinks, and other goodies. (warning, not all regular items are ½ price).
They have some very interesting special rolls, the most intriguing is the hangover roll which has sausage, bacon, mayo and many other ingredients, yet truly works. We loved the Mi So Yummy, Wild Geisha, Las Vegas, Cherry Bomb, etc.
Tony is awesome and if you are lucky, he may even come have a sake shot with you.
The décor is more comfortable than most sushi places I have been and they even have a few flat screens so you can watch the game.
It is hard to find due to the glut of signage from larger establishments but it is certainly worth it.
I will be planning a UYE in December so keep your eyes open!

I went for happy hour and the deals were great :) Drinks between $ 4-​$ 6 (as far as I can remember) and the rolls are $ 6-​$ 8. All on happy hour. The sushi tasted great! I loved all the rolls we ordered (vegas, cherry popper, geisha, miso yummy). I chose the ones without cream cheese.
They also had some other non sushi menu ranging from $ 3-​$ 5. I ordered the scallop wrapped in bacon ($ 4.50 I want to say) and it was delicious!!! but not sure if it was worth the price because all I got was one big scallop wrapped in bacon on stick, but to be fair it wasn’t as simple as it sounds. There was some green onions and other great seasonings to makes this so tasteful. Presentation of all the dishes were wonderful.
The décor was lovely (bathroom is beautiful!!) which was something I wasn’t expecting based on its outside appearance. The whole place felt clean.
Service was wonderful. They were always making sure we were doing well granted that we were the only ones there on a Tuesday night. Happy hour is from 5 – 8:30pm and 10pm to midnight (close).
I would definitely come back for sure. I wasn’t disappointed by anything on the menu, the place looked great and the prices were decent.

This past July, my friend and I randomly hit this sushi spot because we were craving sushi. After just landing in Vegas and have some drinks in our room at Bally’s, we were ready to just get some food in our bellies.
The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. Modern seating, contemporary colors, an aquarium and contemporary music (mainly Pop, if i’m not mistaken) completed the atmosphere. We had the Ninja Roll and the Las Vegas Roll. Quite frankly, they were both OK. Nothing stand-​out about it, but nothing gross.
Nothing special but nothing to write off.

Having lived in Seattle and San Francisco, I know decent sushi and this definitely exceeded my expectations for Vegas. Happy hour is a great deal, with $ 4 sakiritas and appetizers. I grabbed a spicy tuna and philly roll, both were solid. The interior is modern and clean, and the staff is super friendly.
Great option if you’re staying at the Ramada or Tuscany.
