This place must be new. The servers are having a very very hard time getting the orders from chef to table. Last time i was there food was everywhere. So many lost orders. So many of other peoples orders to our table.
If you get to read this mr owner at sushi neko. Use a table numbering system. Number the tables. Whenever someone orders put that number on the order form so when the chef makes it you know which table the food goes to.
Love the business. The cashier girl is very very beautiful. Lucky man married her.
Anyways. Great food. If this place had better orginization it will easily be the best in las vegas.

I was excited to see a sushi joint with the same owners and menu as Sakana was opening up on the west side. Unfortunately, the quality of the fish was no where near to what Sakana has. The fish was crazy bland with no flavor. I went to Goyemon a couple days later and the difference in the fish taste was night and day. Plus the wait staff needs to be better trained on the different menu options because we had the wrong thing brought out a couple times.
Whatever you do, don’t get the roll with the peanut butter in it. I tried it for the lulz and it was nasty!

Sushi neko was good! I read the reviews before coming here and I can tell that they’re really trying. I definitely can’t complain about the service because they were very attentive & food was served quickly
One thing I would always make sure to ask for is extra sauce on my nigiris. I love Yuzu & ponzu and allll that, so the more the merrier! Aside from that, it’s 2 thumbs up for me.

This is our first and last time eating here. Which is a shame because the sushi we managed to eat was pretty unique and tasty but the service was horribly disorganized. We ordered a total of 6 different sushi rolls. The owner took our order of 4 rolls, then another server took our sexond order (where we told her we’re still missing our 4^th roll and added 2 more rolls), and then a THIRD server brought us a roll that we didn’t even order!
Over an hour later, we angrily got up and told one of the servers that we’re not paying the AYCE dinner price and that we’re only paying for 3 rolls. The owner apologized but the damage was already done. We liked this place when it was originally Shuseki.

I was so excited about this place because of the high rating on Unilocal.I must say that this is the worst sushi place I’ve ever been to in vegas. This makes me believe that the reviews are highly inflated because they are doing a promotion where if you leave them a good Unilocal review, they give you a mug cup or upgrade the all you can eat to premium all you can eat.
We came here as a party of 4 and we all got all you can eat and ordered a bunch of food. I must say that the nigiri are decent and has a good fish to rice proportion like they advertise. That’s the only good thing I can say about this place.
There’s so many bad things about this place that I don’t know where to start. The biggest thing about this place is that the food takes indefinite amount of time to come. It literally takes anywhere from 10−20min for each item to come. We asked the server repeatedly where our food is and he had to retake our same order. This happened 4 times. The wait was so long that we brought card games from my car so that we could play while waiting for the food.
Next is the service. When we had to repeat our order multiple times, we got zero apology. No sorry no nothing. He told us that he’ll put us in a «priority list» to get our food quick to us but then the food had only come out at «regular“speed (we had time to go through a few rounds of Uno while waiting). The salmon belly was the first thing we ordered and it was the last thing we received 3 hours later and asking for it 5 times. And yes we stayed 3 hours and didn’t even leave full because of how long the wait was for each item. We couldn’t wait anymore and promptly decided to end our meal. However, they were quick to serve our desserts and give us our checks.
I must say the food here is very overrated. Yes the nigiri has a good fish to rice proportion but after waiting for too long, the taste diminishes significantly. The rolls are on par with other sushi joints. The appetizer however is pretty bad. The kalbi steak was chewy and cold. The salmon and yellowtail kama were both overcooked and dry. The kfc appetizer had some kind of weird bbq sauce that didn’t work with the chicken. The pork belly was pretty good and probably the best thing at this restaurant. The oysters wasn’t cleaned properly and I almost threw up eating them.
Overall this establishment needs a major work in its customer service: ensuring that all orders come out, no orders that are lost are falsely claimed to be on their way, and to apologize for any inconveniences.

So… this is my first time here. Apparently the same owners as sakana. but sakana brought rolls out fast. Like fuckkkkk we’ve been sitting for over 30min now. And no water refills. And the waiters don’t know the name of the rolls lol. But the food is good I guess. from what we got so far. I’m still here as I’m typing this. The bell for food in the back keeps ringing. but no food. If you’re a tourist reading this. It’s worth trying I guess. 5min Lol just forgot another sushi name lol. Asked for water refill. refilled 1 water lol. Ok I’m done. It’s better than sushi house tho
Edit:10min later. still waiting for sushi
Edit: 10min finally got some rolls!!! Waiting for like 5 more rolls still.
Last edit! They fucking slapped a huge ass turbo and tuned on e85 700hp on the chefs. it’s been over an hour. they’re bring this shit out fast now. I bet the sushi was frozen or some shit and didn’t tell us. Longest I’ve ever been at a sushi spot ever. Going on 2 hours now. K I’m done. Wait. 1 star for never refilling my water as well. my mouth is hella salty from this sodium as fuck sushi

A destination for sushi-​loving cat ladies! The sushi is awesome, but the cat-​crazy décor and extra-​friendly service put this place over the top. I’d move in here if they’d let me. It’s a hidden nook downstairs from Café Teaze, cozy with cat décor and art everywhere– trinkets on shelves on the walls, photos at the bar, and even drawn on the menu!
Menu has a huge selection of apps, nigiri, and rolls, broken down into specialty, baked, fried, hand, and riceless rolls. Their selection of riceless rolls is on par with Jjanga (~5 choices), and they are well executed. As others have said, nigiri is fresh and generously cut, and rice is proportionate. They also have a selection of grilled skewers (haven’t tried ‘em), and desserts are limited to 1/​person– but many are made in house and higher quality than elsewhere. I was so pleased with my first meal here that I literally came back within a week. Same great product and experience.
Both visits, I sat at the bar– sushi chefs are friendly and engaging instead of silent and stoic, as elsewhere. Dinner price ($ 28?) is reasonable considering the selection and quality. Definitely a place I am happy to be a regular.

Sushi Neko now occupies the spot Shuseki used to be. Came in before 4:00 PM and was able to score the lunch menu price of $ 20.95 AYCE sushi! Pretty good value considering it includes a variety of appetizers and choice of dessert.
APPETIZERS
Fried rice — nothing special.
Shrimp tempura — yummy! Hard to mess up.
Pang — crab mix on top a crunchy, buttery toast.
Egg rolls — Super oily. Did not care for the filling.
SUSHI
Nigiri is pretty good here with great fish to rice ratio. It is true that the garlic ponzu sauce is awesome. They have sushi burritos listed on the menu. I ordered the hulk burrito (soy paper) and I got a regular cut roll with seaweed paper. Umm… lol. I’m not big on rolls, but they offer ½ rolls! I tried the lemon roll and the Chanel roll. I’ve had a better lemon roll, but I would get the Chanel roll again.
DESSERT
Sounds good on paper, but it was just okay for me. The desserts are on the small side and nothing really stood out. The green tea panna cotta is probably the best choice, but not mind blowing. The mini honey toast is definitely «mini.» It’s basically the size of a Hawaiian roll. Sad that the toast was burnt and the vanilla ice cream was more icy than creamy.
I loved the interior and the service was great!

3.5 stars at best from me.
Came here with zee boyfriend one night to give this place a try since there were many good reviews and what not. Plus, it’s a new restaurant! We love to try out new places to see if they’re any good or worth going to!
Sushi Neko is a sister restaurant to Sakana, therefore, same owners. I personally have never dined at Sakana so I can’t compare nor do I know what to expect when coming to Neko. According to one of my friends though, from his experience at Neko, the service was severely lacking and the server that helped him was the worst.
We came here on a Thursday night and it was practically empty. There was only maybe one table occupied. AYCE sushi dinner is $ 25.95 while the premium is at $ 28.95. Premium dinner includes the specials on the blackboard that is in the middle of the room and from what one of the servers told it, it was only available for the weekends. (Or maybe not. I wasn’t really listening.)
We tried their:
Salmon Carpaccio: Chef special. Meh. Doused in sauce with tasteless ikura. Pass.
Tuna Carpaccio: Chef special. Also meh. Not even sure what I was eating. Pass.
Salmon: Tasteless pretty much. Second round was better.
Salmon Belly: Had some fresh wasabi on top. Delicious. (One order per.)
Anything Albacore: No thank you.
Hamachi: Decent.
Yuzu Hamachi: Decent. If it was tasteless, I wouldn’t know cause the sauce covers that.
Super White Tuna: Decent.
Uni: Decent. (One order per.)
300 Handroll: Three types of raw fish with a sweet-​spicy sauce and rice. The sweet-​spicy sauce was pretty much sriracha sauce mixed with some sugary syrup. No good.
Oysters: On half shell with some sauces on top that includes a salsa so it does have a little kick to it. The oysters weren’t great but the sauces were good. (One order per.)
The Shit*: Crab meat and other stuff wrapped in seaweed and deep fried. Comes with a spicy mayo sauce. Decent.
The Pang: Garlic toast topped with fish and sauce and other stuff. Delicious.
Green Tea Panna Cotta: Needs less matcha powder in its recipe.
Blanc Coffee Manger: Same type of dessert as the green tea panna cotta. Same texture, different flavor. This one was actually decent.
Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy a good portion of the things I tried at Neko. The only things that I enjoyed were «The Pang» but it was heavy so I can’t eat too much of it and the salmon belly. However, the salmon belly was restricted to one order per person and salmon belly is my favorite nigiri … soo definitely a minus for Neko. There was a roll that I wanted to try but I only wanted to do half a roll and Neko wasn’t able to accommodate on that either. Another negative. Fresh wasabi was an extra charge of $ 3.00 when we asked for it… A lot of other places give it for free :(The first server that helped us was brand new apparently. She couldn’t answer 95% of our questions and also lost half of our orders so that definitely did not sit well with me. She constantly asked another server to answer our questions …
Eventually, that other server just started taking over. He was wonderful. He was good with giving suggestions and answering everything that we wanted to know. He gave us enough time with our meal, offered to get us more dishes if we were to want them. He pretty much offered to bring us every dessert they had if we wanted it. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with. His name is Carlos. Request him if you can. He is definitely Neko’s saving grace. If he were not present that night to serve us, this review would have ended up a 2 star review — possibly 1 star.
Another plus to Neko is their fish to rice ratio. You get a huge chunk of fish and a little bit of rice so for the fish go-​ers, it is heaven. However, on the flip side, if your fish quality doesn’t resonate that well then fish to rice ratio isn’t even something I would put into consideration.
End point. I probably wouldn’t want to go again as it doesn’t particularly hold up to the hype. It is a little disappointing after reading all those great reviews. But, no time limit. Eat as much as you want for as long as you want, I suppose. They also have an offer going on? Write a review and you get a free upgrade to your AYCE from regular dinner to premium dinner or get a cup.

THE BOMB !!!
Check out the menu !!!
Every item on the menu…
Something for everyone !!!

After hearing so much about this place, on how its a sister place of Sakana on Maryland… and how their fish to rice ratio matches california… definitely had to try it !
My friends and I came here after CES. We got out of the convention fairly quick but before long, places all around were being flooding with CES attendees. But it was around dinner time anyway. One of our friends got a table quick and service seemed well. At least my tea was refilled a lot, although it was not very hot tea, and was warm at best. ($ 1.50 charge for hot tea btw)
Positive notes. Their fish to rice ratio is like ¹⁄₃ of my pinky finger plus a slice of fish the length of my index and middle finger. Fresh wasabi is available (the usual fresh wasabi relish you’d get at places like Goyemon) but a very small amount. Salmon belly was good. Ocean trout is good. Probably due to not being overly cold and drenched in sauce. Tamago was uniquely made and good.
On other notes. I’m not sure if its because its a «new» restaurant or what, but most, if not all the fish, were quite cold. Not like frozen but more cold than the «body temperature» it should be at. Almost like it was just taken out of the fridge (not freezer).
They tend to use a lot of sauces and toppings. In my opinion, not something traditional but may as to mask some things that shouldn’t be there.
They had quite the amount of things which they limit to 1 order per person. We had originally ordered 4 uni, on our first order. We had repeatedly asked to check if it was still coming throughout our meal, they continued to say it was coming. Until near end of the meal, they were like oh we dont have uni today. The waiter who brought us that news had provided up to par service in attempt to please the customers to provide a «chef special». What they had given us was a few slices of yellowtail with ponzo sauce. We had asked about their other specials earlier on the meal and they said due to the weather and convention, they were not able to acquire the said «salmon» for the salmon carpaccio or salmon tartar.
We had ordered a few of their «no rice» options, also 1 order per person. As said before, lots of sauce. Or even deep fried. One gave myself and others a weird look when we had our first bite. One was wrapped in a quite «unrefined» cucumber «skin». Thick. Longer than needed.
Service overall, mediocre at best. The waitresses seemed a bit clueless and never had a direct answer. Props on keeping my tea filled though.
The 2 given stars go towards their fish to rice ratio, and the waiter who assisted us at the end. Everything else? Not so much. Despite the «limitless» desserts, the ice cream almost seemed «pre-​scooped» and overly frozen. Tiramisu was like a brownie. Dense and heavy. Panna Cotta, not available.
Definitely didnt hold up to the hype ive heard from multiple people. They do «offer» a «limited time deal» where for a review, you get either a free AYCE dinner or their cup.

The fish to rice ratio is amazinggggg!
Everything tastes so fresh and their menu is huge. I love how unique everything is, like they have Hawaiian kalbi steak and ocean trout.
The prices are $ 20.95 for lunch (open to 4 pm) and $ 25.95 for dinner (4 pm to close).
The dessert items include the basic mochi ice cream & regular ice cream, in addition to green tea panna cotta, coffee blanc manger, mini honey toast, and tiramisu!
My favorite things are the no rice items (sashimi roll & seafood salad), oyster, uni, tuna, and salmon.

There are so many sushi AYCE places out here in Vegas. As a result, I just chose one of the new places — Sushi Neko. One of the cool things about this place is that they don’t limit the number of rounds that you can order, which obviously is awesome because you can better gauge how much more you can handle/​want to eat. I don’t know if there was a time limit or not, but it was nice that the food came out pretty quickly. One of my biggest sushi AYCE peeves is that subsequent rounds take forever to come out, but I was glad that this was not the case here. Well, I guess that the restaurant had maybe 3 – 4 other tables occupied, so that could be a reason why food came out super fast. But, overall, the service was very good. The waiters were very friendly, took dirty plates away quickly, and also got all of my orders correctly. The menu is very, very big so it was definitely difficult to pick which things to eat. There was everything from nigiri to BBQ skewers to mini udon bowls. Big mistake on my part was I went to eat by myself, therefore, I didn’t get to try as many things as I would have wanted. Be sure to bring friends when you go so that you can try everything!
On to the food — the nigiri was overall very good. Salmon belly and unagi are my favorites and they absolutely did not disappoint. The fish to rice ratio was amazing, which is the one thing about a sushi restaurant that can either make or break my experience. Unfortunately, the yellowtail was a little icy (frozen fish, perhaps). I was not a fan of that one and would not get it again for that reason. The appetizers were average — I had miso soup, salad, and calamri. The miso was a little on the salty side. Salad was nothing special, but was refreshing. The calamari was served with a generic sweet chili sauce, which was mediocre. Unfortunately, what was most disappointing for me was the actual rolls. They were drenched in sauces and mayonnaise; it was so excessive that it ruined the experience of eating the fish. If I were to come back, I’d either stick to just nigiri or pick rolls that didn’t come with some sort of sauce.
A big perk is that there are a handful of desserts that you can choose from at the end of your meal. I got the mango mochi and the tempura ice cream, which both were very delicious!
An AYCE meal here costs $ 21 at lunch and $ 26 at dinner, which is pretty typical for any AYCE sushi place. I’m not sure if Vegas has better AYCE sushi places out here, but this place is pretty good and I’d definitely come back and get a ton of nigiri.

First off, dinner is $ 26 and the fish to rice ratio is AMAZINGGGGG! I think I’ve only had that kind of ratio in Cali (have not been to Sakana since apparently they own that, too).
My friends mostly complained that the fish (literally everything I guess) tasted super cold. And it’s not suppose to be served that cold.
Other than that, and the somewhat slow service in terms of some foods coming out, I enjoyed myself. It’s probably cus I’m not going to be eating 50% fish and 50% rice. I had more fish than rice so that always makes me happy. I would definitely come back.
You can request fresh wasabi. The wasabi they provided us were very minimal so you’ll probably have to request for more like my friend had to.
They do charge for hot tea, FYI. Try their trout nigiri. I believe that was one order per person. No limit on mochi ice cream :0D.
The staff is definitely friendly and they seem very attentive, too. My hot tea was practically always full and in other places I have to struggle to get it refilled.

This was my first time at an AYCE sushi place and it was pretty bomb! The place was empty when we stopped in because they’ve only been open for 2 weeks. Great decorations, good sushi considering that it’s only $ 27 per person and you get 80 minutes to eat.
The service is slow – so slow it dampened my hunger :/​But since the place was empty they let us stay past 80 min. Love the generous fish to rice ratio! Highly recommend the salmon belly, no. 1 chef makes, best of the best, sashimi roll and double dragon.
Important note: you can get sushi by the roll here but don’t do that! They’ll just serve you the same rolls as what is served to AYCE crowd. I made that mistake and had to convert to AYCE after the first roll came out – too small!
Note, I can eat raw fish and am not one to hate on sushi/​sashimi for being Americanized and having lots of sauce – I like sauce. My one complaint is that some fish pieces came out icy like they hadn’t been thawed all the way through. I would just dock a half star but Unilocal won’t let me do that.

Sushi neko is the sister restaurant of sushi sakana.
Like literally it was a mock clone! .okay well not literally literally, but you’ll find very close similarities. Some of the old favorites from sakana like «the shit,» a spicy crab/​deep fried. well shit looking roll that you dip in spicy mayo and eel sauce makes a return here along as some new ones I’ve never seen before like «the pong.»
Imagine a bruschetta and volcano roll meet and do the dirty, and have a delicious appetizer child, and thus, there you have it. «the pong.»
If you haven’t tried sakana yet and aren’t sure what to expect from neko, a good portion of their sushi rolls and nigiri utilize a lot of ponzu and citrus flavors.
(Some honorable mentions to try: sushi burrito, the pong, 911, and trout nigiri)
Other items like oysters and Shashimi are 1 order per person while nigiri is unlimited in the ayce option. Dessert is also 1 order per person while Ice cream is unlimited.
Alcohol is not yet present but will be coming soon.
The service is pretty good, I tried the ayce option on my first visit and then ordered the salmon entrée at my second time coming.
The owner can be a little chatty but is very nice and explained the sushi dishes as well as a little history along with it if you like learning a thing or two (I know I do).and when my entrée came out, he even added a few pieces of shrimp tempura and some paprika salmon nigiri to «brighten up» my entrée because he felt it «looked a little weak.»
It’s a must try if you haven been yet, and you’re looking to check out a new sushi place.

Located in Chinatown, Sushi Neko is the sister restaurant of Sakana. It’s a convenient location for those who visit Chinatown. The restaurant is big and since it’s still new, there is no long waits to get a table. I was happy to see the amazing hispanic waiter from Sakana is now working at Neko.
The food here is just as great as Sakana. I was glad to see the consistency of their recipes. The ratio of rice to fish is always what keeps me coming back to this restaurant. The fish is very fresh and sliced in large pieces. They give you little rice so you can enjoy and eat as much as you want without getting full on rice.
Some recommendations:
Nigiri– Salmon Belly (w/​Fresh Wasabi), salmon, unagi, yellowtail, ocean trout, super white tuna
Appetizers– Creamy shrimp, spicy edamame, miso soup, house salad, the shit
Rolls– Salmon skin handroll, japanese lasagna

UMM, YES SUSHI NEKO WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE.
Sakana was my favorite… then Umiya… but now, Sushi Neko?! OH GOSH. If I could recommend this place to the President, I would! It’s soooo delicious. The service is amazing. Atmosphere is quite delightful. And the sushi is phenomenal. I really hope that that doesn’t die down after all the «hype» follows.
Their fish is super fresh. The chef gave us a specialty sashimi type of appetizer and it was really yummy. Their fish to rice ratio is awesome. There is no place in Vegas that’s like that. I’ve only been to one in Cali, and this one outshines that sushi place.
I was actually quite surprised at how big the place is, especially because sakana is so tiny. After I had it, I told all my friends about it. Definitely going to be the hot sushi spot… for now. :) Don’t mess up, Sushi Neko!

I’ve seen AYCE sushi places start out so well then fizzle out after a few years… or even months. Knife cuts get sloppy, rice to fish ratio becomes carb-​centric, the service turns from a budding female to a woman with hot flashes. Before any of that happens, it’s good to try Sushi Neko before it turns into a crazy kitty. Kind of like how I was when I called a friend for a food emergency and ended up here.
The first thing I noticed was the very animé-​themed interior. Slam Dunk on one wall, Hayao Miyazaki’s «Spirited Away» on loop, and the colorful menu. It’s bright and spacious which is a nice change.
We tried quite several apps, rolls, nigiri, and desserts. Salmon, garlic tuna, tomato roll, salmon paprika, tower of sashimi, Sashimj roll, Be Happy roll, lemon salmon, The Shit, skewers, green tea Panna cotta, and coffee Blanc manger.
Overall, the fish was fresh with a good rice ratio. We left satisfied. We probably overstayed our welcome — I saw «Spirited Away» from start to finish twice!

I’m here to put this place on the map!
If you told me that I could get amazing fish to rice ratio at an All You Can Eat Sushi spot, without the long wait, you can count your pretty nigiri I’ll be there! They’re conveniently situated in the prime of China Town, on Spring Mountain — right next door to Yosi Vapor Boutique and under Hue Thai & Café Teaze. Unfortunately, the signage blends in and is somewhat hidden in the corner of the Asian strip mall, so easily missed if you’re not looking for it. The restaurant is decorated beautifully with plenty of comfortable seating, plus there’s ample parking; I won’t be surprised if it picks up real soon!
Neko is the sister restaurant of the tried and true, wildly successful Sakana on Maryland! I’ll be the first to admit, we’re biased. We absolutely love Sakana and try to eat there every meal we can, but they are a lot further from home plus it can get pretty busy during prime dining hours. Neko is offering the same delicious AYCE sushi, nigiri & appetizer menu and since not many people figured it out yet, they aren’t busy! The fish to rice ratio here is great, better than any of their competitors; we’ve been to them all!
These are what AYCE dreams are made of: (I love that you can also get half sized rolls so that you can try more!)
— Salmon Belly Nigiri
— Ocean Trout Nigiri
— Albacore 300 Nigiri
— Yuzu Yellowtail Nigiri
— Uni Nigiri
— Ama Ebi Nigiri
— Unagi Nigiri
— Super White Tuna Nigiri
— Garlic Tuna Nigiri
— Albacore Garlic Ponzu Nigiri
— House made Tamago! Omg sooo perfect!
— Baked Green Mussels
— Poke Nachos
— Pang
— Jalapeño Poppers
— D’s Guy Roll
— Lemon Salmon Roll
— «The best of the best» (rice-​less)
— «Stuffed Tomato» (rice-​less) — it’s not really a tomato, it’s actually surimi crab rolled inside salmon and topped with avocado, tropical salsa and ponzu! Super tasty!
— Their house sauces: 300 & garlic ponzu are spectacular. I love them! Pairs great with all of their nigiri
— Mini honey toast & Mochi for dessert — the perfect ending!
I can go on forever, there’s so much more! Even the pickiest eater can find something they’ll enjoy! The have cooked items that are great as well, but I come for the raw fish and appetizers. Service always exceeds expectations and the food comes out quick. Chef Dragon really cares about his customer’s and his food is made with love — you are in good hands! Also, Carlos our server is on top of his game — Don’t even trip, he’s got you! They consistently offer quality cuts of fish and explosive flavors that we expect, which keeps us coming back for more!
