Las Vegas Japanese dining splits cleanly between the Strip and Spring Mountain Road's Chinatown corridor. Yellowtail on S Las Vegas Blvd represents the resort side, while Kaiseki Yuzu on W Sahara Ave and Monta Japanese Noodle House on Spring Mountain Rd carry the more specialized, locals-driven cooking.
Yellowtail at Bellagio is Akira Back's Strip Japanese room, daily fish flown from around the world and a terrace overlooking the Bellagio fountains.
OrderAkira's signature yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno and yuzu soy.
TipAsk for a terrace table to overlap with the fountain shows on the half-hour.
Kaiseki Yuzu in Las Vegas is Kaoru Azeuchi's intimate kaiseki dining room on West Sahara, a 14-seat counter with seasonal multi-course Japanese tasting menus.
OrderThe full kaiseki tasting; the courses change with the season and the chef's sourcing from Japan.
TipReservations 14 days out only; the kaiseki menu rotates monthly so repeat visits get a different table.
Monta Ramen on Spring Mountain in Las Vegas is the 20-seat Chinatown shop since 2010, simmering tonkotsu broth in-house and turning out kaedama refills.
TipGet on the Yelp waitlist before you arrive; tonkotsu with a kaedama noodle refill is the standard, the seasonal limited bowls go on the chalk wall.
Monta Ramen on Spring Mountain in Las Vegas is the Chinatown tonkotsu specialist where a 16-hour pork-bone broth bowl runs $13 with a $3 kaedama noodle.
OrderTonkotsu ramen $13, kaedama noodle refill $3
TipAdd the $3 kaedama (extra noodles) to finish the broth; lunchtime waitlists fill by 11:45, get on the Yelp queue from the car.
