Vegas Express Sushi

One day I was craving sushi but wanted it to go and fast, So I decided to go here because my boyfriend used to get our alkaline water from this location. The sushi was handmade by the owner, she was friendly. The store had pretty much any Asian snacks you could think off, water jugs since they sell water and alkaline water here, hence the large sinks inside and one outside. This little business looks like it’s doing pretty well. It’s in a good location, in the same plaza as the Pot Tea Social House and AT&T on Rainbow. Their sushi was good, but I later on realized it’s pretty much the same sushi they sell at Glaziers. I would come here again for take out sushi if I want to choose from their menu, but I would just go to Glaziers or Von’s where it’s already made and ready to pick up. Their sushi is is geared more towards catering, which I would definitely enjoy at a sorry or something!

I will never poke fun at a water/​sushi place again!
Ordered 2 party trays from the sweet elderly woman behind the counter. The first was off their menu — it included a rainbow roll, caterpillar roll, several Cali rolls, Cali rolls with tobiko, and nigiri. She offered options for the nigiri & I went with tuna & salmon. The second tray was a made up one where I selected three rolls from their regular menu. It included a caterpillar roll, cali with spicy tuna, & lion roll (shrimp tempura). Both trays came out to about $ 80.
The platters were ready at the promised time and included a generous amount of wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, & chopsticks. Everything looked & tasted delicious. To my relief the pieces were not rice-​heavy. Next time I’ll request for them to leave out avocado toppings (the caterpillar roll had turned sad & brown by the time the party started).
Loved the service & flexibility! Highly recommended.

I do really like sushi and for what they offer it is good. It does not compare to Yonaka and or Soho but for the price and convenience it is pretty good. I have gotten it for a quick lunch a few times and have always enjoyed it. They use fresh ingredients and the sushi is well prepared. Great for a quick sushi fix and or for lunch.

Great price for Togo sushi. Lady was really nice, and grateful. She gave me a free water. I got salmon and tuna sashimi. I like salmon not too big on the tuna. But it was fresh. I think better price on catering.

Don’t let the name throw you, I wish I would’ve tried it sooner! The prices are as great as the quality. I was pretty impressed. The shop lady is very endearing too. She gave me free water with my sushi. :D

I can be somewhat of a procrastinator at times, and last week was one of those times. I needed to make sushi for an important demonstration I was having in front of 20 people, but didn’t get around to doing it. The DAY OF my demonstration was when I decided to scramble and find some place that could cater the sushi for me. I found Vegas Express Sushi on Unilocal and wasn’t sure if I should go through them because the pictures posted doesn’t show a very «sushi-​making type of place». However, their largest platter was at a reasonable price which beat the other places I had called.
I decided to call and spoke with an older woman (I really wish I got her name). She was VERY polite and assured me that she could have my platter ready and made in an hour and a half (I needed it in two). Forty minutes later, she called me back and let me know that it was ready for pick up!
When I got to the store, I was even more surprised because the pictures on Unilocal depict the store exactly! It looks like a liquor/​convenience store. However, when she realized I was there to pick up my platter, she QUICKLY disappeared into the back of the store. Before my nerves could unsettle themselves, this woman came scuttling back while carrying a GIANT sushi platter with much more than what I had ordered, and a GIANT smile on her face. She rang me up, the whole time describing what was inside, how she made it, and how grateful she was that I had ordered. I could tell that this woman was very proud of what she does there and very grateful for the customers she receives. I took a closer look at the platter with her and it was beautiful!
Oh, and as for quality of the food itself, well…
When I got to my demonstration the ENTIRE sushi platter was gone in less than 10 minutes of me opening it for the meeting.

Love this place because it’s very convenient for me to buy spices I need for cooking. And the owner is very friendly. She’s really nice!!! The sushi is not bad at all. Freshly made.

My husband and I came here a week ago to buy some sushi but they were closed. An employee was still inside the store so my husband tapped on the door to get her attention. She let us know that they were closed BUT she let us know that they make the sushi daily for Glazier’s, which is right up the street (Warm Springs & Durango). Thankfully, we drove up the street and brought home some delicious sushi. I HIGHLY recommend their sushi. Whether you get it directly from the store or Glazier’s.

Ok, so I’m checking out the reviews here and the 1 façade photo of this place and I’m thinking, no thanks. But I «accidentally» came across Vegas Express Sushi because they supply Glazier’s market with sushi… and they are GOOD. Their takeout sushi is superior to the dried out crappy stuff you can buy at Vons or most gocery/​deli stores. Their cooked rolls compare to the ones you can buy at Costco, and their raw nigiri is very fresh. For the price, you are definitely getting the next best thing to stepping in a sushi joint. Also, they have awesome large party platters! I’ll be posting photos of their takeout and menu this weekend. (FYI, this is a takeout place with a small Asian grocery, not a restaurant with seating.)

Love the owner and she makes «sushi» for my hubby that does not like the seaweed :) this is a little market and most of the business she does from selling water.
Take note she makes basic rolls and if you are ordering A LOT prepare to wait.
If you need a basic sushi fix or maybe a platter to take home this is a low cost way to get it!

This was my local alkaline water place but I have since started home delivery of water. But when I did come here, Jennifer the lady that owns and runs the place is always really friendly and helpful.
Their standard is alkaline 8 water but they sell a alkaline 10 at a premium. Can I tell the difference between the two? No, but the way I see it is that for the cost Of a bottle of water at the store, I can get a gallon of the alkaline 10 so it’s worth it.
Good water is great for you especially with the tap water we have here in las vegas.

A friend and I have joked around about trying this place for some time. The combination of a water and sushi store, just sounded odd. Yes, fish do live in water, but I never thought about these two items to be the main products of a business.
We had went to Sam’s Club before in an attempt to buy groceries to cook dinner. By the time we had finished doing errands, it was getting late. Passing on everything except salad ingredients we trekked to another store and found nothing. Guess it was time to stop messing around and finally try this place. When we got there, the lady running the shop was walking to the door. We found out later that they closed at 7:00 and we had got there at 7:15. Instead of kicking us out, she didn’t even mention anything. Throughout our browsing of the store, she was patient. The shop is a basic convenient stop for Asian products with an emphasis on Filipino items.
The sushi was surprisingly delicious. We got a tray of Inari (sushi rice stuffed tofu skins), Seaweed Salad, Spicy Tuna Roll, and a mixed plate. All of this came out to $ 20. On our drive home, I opened the tofu wraps and they were warm and flavorful. For a quick bite, made on the spot, it is a good alternative.

So this is basically 3 businesses rolled into one: a filipino convenience store, a water store, and a sushi to-​go store.
As far as the filipino store goes, it’s pretty basic. Lots of snacks and dried noodle packets, some frozen foods, and some beauty products. The prices are decent, not as outrageously gouged as other filipino stores, but not the cheapest either. I also saw a «chiller machine» (aka slushy machine) in the back where it wasn’t clear whether it was employee operated only, or available for customers to fill their slushy cups themselves. But they only had 2 flavors, mango and something red.
The water store part takes up a whole wall of the small space. You pretty much bring in your bottles and fill them up and the nice lady at the counter charges you by the gallon. They also sell all kinds of water bottles and dispensers throughout the store.
The sushi you order at the front counter from the lady who goes to the back to make your order fresh. Although they have a menu full of a variety of rolls and nigiri, the way the lady spoke, it felt like there was only 2 kinds of fish left: tuna and eel. So I ordered an eel roll for $ 5.99 and a nigiri mix plate of eel and tuna for $ 7.99. They also had maki rolls available, like California, cucumber, vegetable, etc.
The sushi was actually pretty fresh and tasty. They come packaged like they do in the grocery stores, but without that weird staleness of the rice and fish. For a total of $ 14 to get 8 pieces of eel roll (with cucumber and avocado), and the nigiri plate of 4 generous pieces each of eel and tuna it was a pretty good deal. Everything was fresh and nothing was stale, but the only downside is if you’re in a rush, you might want to order ahead of time because she took about 10 minutes to make both orders.
And I just wanted to note that the eel was fresher and not as oversauced as most sit-​down sushi places in town. The taste wasn’t as fishy either, and the sauce wasn’t overpowering or in too much quantity. Nice.

Vegas Express Sushi (VES) can be found all over Vegas. They are usually the supplier for premade sushi at supermarkets and the like.
However, there are a handful of locations that will make some basic sushi items for you on the spot. Mind you, this isn’t a place to sit and dine, but rather to order and go. They don’t offer anything fancy in terms of a sushi bar to view the goods either. Their menu is simple and to the point.
At this particular location, they also sell alkaline water and Filipino goods. Yes, their specialty is water and Filipino items from the dried, canned or frozen. We were pleasantly surprised with all the different items that had stocked in this little market. I’m sure there’s a markup versus visiting Seafood City, but it saves you the gas money in this case.
Nonetheless, it’s your local water source, Filipino grocery store, and take out sushi joint.
