Sushi Hiroyoshi Japanese Cuisine

Wow, thanks to Unilocal,my husband and I got to experience amazing sushi in Las Vegas during our quick trip there to get married. We live overseas and have been dying for some good sushi. We were literally in Las Vegas for less than 48 hours, but read about the restaurant ahead of time and decided it we needed to go. He ordered the omakase and I ordered rolls and nigiri. We wend there on the evening after our wedding, and the sake special was «happy bride», very fitting! Not only was the food beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious, but the chef and all the employees were so kind and gracious. When they found out it was our wedding day, they brought us a complimentary dessert with candles and sang «happy wedding to you». I cannot say enough good about this place. I wish we could go all the time.

We walked in and the place was completely empty. The menu was very simple. No cute Japanese décor. And the food was very blah. The service was great very nice lady!

First off, I got to say how thankful I am of Chef Hiroyoshi’s wife for graciously taking us even though we were 30 minutes late for our reservations. We made 9pm reservations but due to rental car complications, we didn’t get there until nearly 9:30pm (half an hour before closing) to get their omakase. I know, I know. we were one of THOSE people who come in right before closing. I felt so bad, but they were so friendly and welcomed us in! Chef Hiroyoshi and his wife were so personable and made the experience all the more worthwhile. For about $ 90pp, the meal consisted of 16 dishes, including sashimi and sushi:
1) Sesame tofu with shrimp and uni
2) Amuse bouche: shigoku oyster, monkfish liver, seared tuna, eel, and baby squid (my favorite of the 5)
3) Sashimi platter for two: blue fin tuna, seared salmon belly, needle fish, white fish, yellowtail belly, and clam. The seared salmon belly was amazing, melted like BUTTAH.
4) Scallops and mushrooms: although I love the different mushrooms and the scallops had a natural sweetness, the overall dish was just too salty for me.
5) Baby seabream
6) Golden snapper
7) Amber jack & striped jack: I liked the amber jack more
8) 4-​day dry-​aged fatty tuna & regular fatty tuna: the 4-​day dry-​aged was amazing, melt-​in-​your mouth feel and had a distinct but so delicious taste. You can taste the difference between the two. And this was definitely a first, never knew you could dry age fish.
9) O-​toro: SO good.
10) Mackerel: not usually a fan of mackerel but this one has made me a believer.
11) Spotted prawn: sweet and had an interesting texture, almost soft and creamy
12) Gizzard shad fish: probably my least favorite of the night
13) Alaskan snow crab with ikura and sturgeon caviar, Santa Barbara Uni, Hokkaido uni: this dish was my favorite of the night. To be able to taste the difference between the two uni, sweet and creamy from the Santa Barbara, while the Hokkaido was a lot firmer, not as creamy but definitely sweeter. The snow crab was sweet against the saltiness of the fish roe.
14) Toro hand roll
15) Tamago: interesting and cakelike
16) Crème brulee, mochi, and Japanese donut with red bean: beautifully presented.
The experience was a delight and the presentation of all the dishes were so carefully thought out and beautifully arranged. My boyfriend had a great time conversing with Chef Hiroyoshi and his wife. Would recommend sitting at the bar to watch the time and effort put into this omakase.

I consider myself a sushi afficionado. While Las Vegas has many sushi options. Hiroyoshi has to be on top of the list in terms of food quality/​freshness and service.. Location is off strip in a strip mall, okay neighborhood, plenty of parking. This restaurant is under a year old and a first venture by Hiro and his wife, both very gracious and humble hosts. Hiro had been a sushi chef at Blue Ribbon sushi in the Cosmopolitan Hotel.
Found Sushi Hiroyoshi on Unilocal last weekend and decided to give it a try. Restaurant décor is classic and very simple. The food is the showcase. Super fresh fish, artfully prepared. This is not AYCE or your rock and roll sushi bar but quiet elegance where one can enjoy a meal with friend (s) and have good conversation. Prices are higher than an AYCE or other similar quality sushi bar but not as high as on strip restaurants. Fish portions are a bit smaller than some places but quality and variety more than makes up for it.
Arrived with my husband last weekend around 8pm. They close near 9 or 9:30pm so things appeared to be winding down early or they are still building their business. Folks around us seem to really enjoy their meal too. I ordered the Omikase (Chef’s special) for $ 85.00 and my husband ordered ala carte various dishes. Omikase was a bargain for the amount and variety of multi courses with plenty to satisfy. Ala carte items are priced within market (except All You Can Eat places where freshness isn’t always there.)
Beautiful fish flown in from Japan that wasn’t standard sushi bar fare with melt in your mouth goodness. Husband had 2 orders of sashimi among other dishes — super fresh and beautiful assortment.
You can tell Hiro and his wife work very hard — super delightful couple. It’s hard to find wonderfully fresh sushi in the desert. Sushi has gone up a notch in Las Vegas. I hope Hiro and wife’s business makes it! I plan to visit again soon.
The 4 stars vs 5 is only because décor isn’t as elegant as a strip restaurant. But it’s lean and serviceable for the team to meet and convene.

We ate here last night and it’s fabulous. We are from Houston which is a pretty serious foodie town these days. I felt like we’d had great sushi there at restaurants such as Uchi and Kata Robata… but this restaurant took it to a new level.
The owners, the Chef Hiroyoshi and his wife, were extremely hospitable, down to even giving us written travel advice for Japan. The atmosphere is classic yet modern, clean, and comfortable. And of course the food. We ordered a la carte which was a big mistake as we watched the people next to us have an amazing omakase feast. They have special Japanese fish that you don’t see on most menus that you should definitely try. Best part, we seriously over ordered/​over ate, with all top market fish, and beer/​sake and the bill was only $ 150 for 2. You could easily spend half that though if you went with more typical fish.
This restaurant is definitely worth the cab ride from the strip (if you are visiting) to have world class sushi. Both the food and the hospitality were outstanding. We will definitely be back!

First I just want to state that the reason that I gave this restaurant 4 stars not because there’s anything wrong with the restaurant but because in my book Kabuto is truly a 5 stars sushi restaurant. But keep in mind that Kabuto is way more expensive that Hiroyoshi, so it’s difficult to compare them. With that said I love this place.
Things I love about this place:
Sushi is fantastic, loved every single pieces that I had. All the fish were great and the rice is excellent.
Tempura uni is a must try. My wife doesn’t like uni but she loved this dish as well. The batter was thin and crispy and very light, not greasy at all. One of the best tempura I have had in a long time.
They also allowed us to order their omakase dessert a la carte which was a perfect way to end our meal. My favorite was the crème brûlée, so creamy!
Only thing I wasn’t totally satisfied was the Hiro Tamago. It doesn’t really taste like eggs omelet, it tasted and feel more like a cake. Not bad but just not my thing.
Overall it’s a wonderful sushi place that I enjoyed very much without costing me an arm and a leg.
This place will become my regular sushi place but for the special occasions I will probably go to the other sushi place I mentioned above.

Let me start off by saying I’m not a huge fan of sushi/​sashimi and don’t know much about it BUT I came here with my girlfriend who is a huge sushi fan and also a friend who is visiting from JAPAN so I really was able to get a feel as to just how great this place was.
I got the omikasa for $ 65 and it was enough to fill me up! The fish was amazingly fresh and my friend from japan says this is as authentic as it gets! even he was impressed! friendly staff and great food!

Speechless, Omakase Dinner /​small restaurant with a very minimalist décor /​romantic.
All the sushi was fresh. Chef was using actual wasabi plant. Uni and oyster from Japan.

Excellent service and great food quality! It was fantastic experience for my b-​day and also a separated event for my daughter one-​month celebration.

Excellent sushi restaurant. I highly recommend!
Everything was served fresh and in prompt fashion.

This is authentic Japanese sushi and dish. Some people say «What a tiny sushi !!», who doesn’t know sushi. American sushi is HUGE, but sushi is Japanese food, so this is it. You can eat yummy and beautiful food at here, plus… it can be expensive price if we have same level as Hiroyoshi’s dish at other restaurant on Strip hotel.
とても美味しく、コストパフォーマンスも素晴らしい

So I see what all the rave is about and it is properly earned.
Went there for dinner last week and have to say that being a true sushi lover I had high expectations based off of reviews and word of mouth.
I have to say that I was not disappointed in the least.
The décor is very minimalistic but that’s because the sushi is the star of this place.
We began with the toro tartar. A little more than a mouthful but each bite melted like butter. Perfect presentation on the part of the chef. It’s definitely a must have… Although they did forget the quail egg on the 2 orders we had.
They do feature an omakase selection but we chose to order from the menu. The plates that were set up for the omakase were elegantly and artistically put together.
We had several orders of sushi. The Amber jack was especially fresh. They had a great variety of the basic fish. Never had to order anything twice because there was so much to choose from.
We did have the tiger roll and soft shell crab roll as well… Good rolls but not as magnificent as the sushi.
This is quickly becoming one of the best sushi restaurants in Vegas. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant whenever you’re in the area.
I also highly recommend making reservations as well.

Woooow! What a gem of a place! I rarely write reviews here in Unilocal,but this place truly deserves one!
This was by far the best dining experience I ever had in a Japanese restaurant. Forget the glamorous tourist-​trap places from the strip and come to this restaurant right now!
Food: ⁵⁄₅. Fresh, authentic, delicate, delicious. If you sit on the sushi bar, you’ll get the chance to see the care and technique that is put in preparing the food. The chefs are really masters of their craft.
Service: ⁵⁄₅. Best service I every had. When you get inside the restaurant you are greeted like a friend and have the chance to talk and learn from the chefs and staff. Most importantly, everything feels genuine. At one point, we were curious about a dish somebody else next to us was having and the chefs gave us a sample for free! Also, the chefs kept working almost exclusively for us until after 11pm. Most places I know would say something like «order in the next x minutes because the kitchen is closing». Not here.
Price: ⁵⁄₅. I’ve never eaten so much high quality sushi in one night. The bill for a couple was around $ 200 for 40~50 pieces, + sake, + dessert. What a deal! I wonder how much I would have paid in Nobu for the same orders…
As a note, I’d like to mention that I was saddened to see the place empty on a Friday night. This place deserves to have more people in. I understand the location doesn’t help, specially for tourists that don’t want to get off the strip. However, if you have a car and love Japanese food, please come to this place. I’m not getting anything from writing this review, but I just want to give justice to a place where I had one of the most unique dining experiences.

WOW!
I took in-​laws here for dinner on our last night boozing, gambling, and streaking. We always end up gravitating towards Japanese, but I definitely didn’t want to pay Strip prices. The reviews for this place was spot on. This a hidden gem of Las Vegas! It’s super far off the strip, but well worth the trip to check this place out.
Recap:
1. Parking — Easy. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall with ample parking.
2. Décor/​Atmosphere — Clean, zen. No cheesy decorations or bright, distracting colors.
3. Food — effin’ amazing. The thing is, when you first look at the menu, it’ll seem like a typical, sushi joint. No thanks. Order off-​menu. Request Chef Hiroyoshi to make you an omakese (chef choice). For $ 65 bucks, I actually felt like I was ripping him off. We had a 7 – 8 course tasting that ranged from homemade tofu & uni appetizer, toro sashami w/​caviar and fresh oyster, miso black cod, large assortment of sashimi/​sushi, etc. We also ordered a side of shrimp tempura, which my toddler threw down. He also loved the toro sashimi and uni/​tofu appitizer. The chef said next time we come by, he’ll make him a special «kids omakese».
4. Service — AWESOME. I can’t say enough nice things about the staff. We were very well taken care of and they took the time out explain each cut of fish, chef’s background, different types of sake, and flirted with my toddler.
5. Bathroom — Standard restaurant bathroom. Clean.
6. Price — very, very fair.
7. Baby Friendly — Yup! They were very accommodating with my toddler. He got his own place settings, high chair + booster seat. Didn’t see a diaper changing table in the men’s room though.
Overall, I loved this place. We’ll be back, but make sure you make reservations. This place is small and I’m sure it’ll be packed, once word gets out.

By far one of the best sushi places in the U.S. Very authentic, fresh and beautiful presentation. We actually ate here two nights in a row because it was so good!
You can order a la carte or do the Omakase style, which included a trio of kobachi, sashimi, yakimomo, sushi and dessert.
The chef does an amazing job paying attention to each dish and how the food is presented. We watched him create beautiful plates of sushi, sashimi and other small dishes. It’s ART!!!
We are coming back here again when we visit Vegas. I can’t eat anywhere else!

Came here after hearing about it from a friend. So my friend and I decided to meet up for lunch.
Being from Henderson this drive is a little bit far. But it was well worth the drive. Nothing better than finding a hidden gem in your city that serves great food. In this case, great sushi with the freshest cuts available.
Walking in to an empty restaurant is always questionable but once we started ordering, I am glad it was empty as we received our orders quickly. Everything was handmade by Chef Hiroyoshi. We were offered an omakase menu by declined it since we were pressed for time.
However, I started the meal with a can of their Ikezo Sparkling Peach Sake. I took it without any complaints because the server suggested this drink, knowing I like my drinks sweet. She brought out the can and began shaking it. I was worried that it would explode all over us but she assured me that it would be alright as she was shaking the jelly loose from the bottom of the can. As she poured the contents from the can into the mini martini glass she brought for the drink, I was reminded of a very loose jelly shot. And that’s what it practically was. A sake with jelly in it. Suffice it to say I really enjoyed it and got another can haha. ⁵⁄₅
We were started off with an appetizer sent to the table by the chef. Thinly sliced yellowtail tuna with a Hamachi paste. It was the chef’s own take on the typical Yellowtail and Jalapeño. If it was supposed to be spicy, I didn’t get any hints of it. But that is overlooked by the freshness of the fish. Delicate. No bad aftertaste to really show you how fresh the fish is (you’ll hate how many times I’ll be using the word fresh). ⁴⁄₅.
I followed this appetizer with a tuna Toro tartar. I was slightly disappointed with it since the menu specified a quail egg, instead the server apologized and said it was topped with caviar. Couldn’t go wrong with that. The saltiness and the little popping crunch of the caviar accentuated the very silky smooth of the very finely chopped tuna toro. There was enough tamari on the plate to help pull all of these flavors together without it being overpowered. ⁵⁄₅
Next up I ordered Hamachi Hara (Fatty Yellowtail) Nigiri and Yakima Harasu (Seared Fatty Salmon) Sashimi (yes, today was a fatty and fresh day haha). I appreciate sushi places that do not try to stuff the guest with larger portions of rice to fish ration and the chef didn’t disappoint. When the Nigiri came I was delighted that the fish was the main highlight and not the rice. Very little Wasabi to detract from the dish. And the sashimi looked larger than I have ever gotten from any other sushi restaurants. All of these were washed down a second can of sparkling jelly sake. ⁵⁄₅.
With all of this talk of Hamachi, I proceeded to ask the server, if by chance, they had any kama left. She checked with the chef and came back with the news that they do have it available. So. As you all know Kama is the collar of the fish. One of the most tender meat of the fish not including the fat of the belly. This for me was the best kama I’ve had so far. The chef was very meticulous at removing all of the scales. In the past as I dived in to eat the skin on other Kamas, there was plenty of scales left that were overlooked by the prep cooks. Not this one. The right amount of glaze was on the fish when grilled made everything stand out about the fish. The Filipino side came out and by the time the server took the plate away, there was no meat or fat left on that collar. ⁵⁄₅
To end the meal as my friend needed to go back to work, I ordered a Natto Roll (Fermented Soy Bean Roll) which was not on the menu. I like my Natto very wet, but the flavor was there. Texture was soft as it should be. Nothing worse than a fermented soy bean that still has a crunch to it. 4.5÷5.
All in all, the meal was wonderful. And just to reiterate, this place is definitely worth the drive!

Found this delightful little place when Unilocaling a new sushi place to try, and it was right around the corner from us so we decided to give it a try for my husband’s birthday dinner.
Very small but extremely clean, and streamlined in its decorating.
This is not an AYCE place, so you can spend a lot if you want to try a lot. My hub is a sashimi nagiri guy so it adds up quickly. He said it was very fresh.
The hostess was very attentive, but we figured because we were the only ones there. Nope. They were equally attentive and genuine to everyone that came in after us.

Chef was very nice, even chatted, and joked with us while creating our items. We ordered the Flash roll, which quickly became my favorite.
Husband was treated to chef’s favorite (blue fin tuna). It was amazing! When we were done and requested the check, they brought out a complimentary slice of mango cheesecake (definitely a must get if you go!) and sang happy birthday.
Amazing place, Amazing service and Amazing sushi! So that gives ut a AAA rating from us! Will definitely be back!

What an amazing place. Delicious food. Beautiful presentation. Professional, attentive, & friendly staff.
You may be lucky enough to have the owner/​head chef serve you. We were very fortunate to have him and his wife serve us along with a very nice waitress.
So amazing. The fish was fresh and delectable. I only wish I had a bigger stomach. The amount of food you are served is well worth the price. We purchased the $ 60 omakase. I would definitely recommend this. It included sashimi, grilled dishes, tempura dish, & sushi.
You will be pleasantly surprised with the flavors you will encounter. Things I’ve never had & I’ve had many different kinds of sushi.
If anything give it a try. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

My boss treated us for lunch and brought us here. Apparently he’s been coming here quite often since its opening.
Us, party of three, sat at the counter. It’s still rather empty for lunch time. So if you want to see Chef Hiroyoshi’s skills up close, go during lunch time and enjoy the show!
I had nigiri set. Which consist of six omakase nigiri and a maki, miso soup.
The sushi was, just, so good! Fresh, carefully crafted, and they were in perfect bite size. Presentation was on pointe.
The egg sponge thing, that was on the side of those bite size maki, that was very different. It was so fluffy, so it’s not an omelet. It’s like a sponge cake, yet not too airy, and the density makes those little pieces of treat so satisfying. Very unique and so pleasant!
This place is definitely a gem!

Get yourself to Sushi Hiroyoshi post-​haste! This space has undergone a complete transformation since it’s days as Sushi Yamaguchi– the formerly messy, cave-​like space is now clean, open, and modern. Quality and service are stellar, and I place them on par with a lower-​priced Kabuto.
APPETIZER TRIO: Chef’s choice of three different featured apps for the day. Ours were a tofu-​uni dish, a seared tuna, and a cucumber-​jellyfish salad, all of which were delicious. This first dish really set the tone for the beautiful presentation and careful balance of flavors we would experience throughout our meal.
RED MISO: A comforting alternative to the usual (white) miso soup, with tofu and mushrooms.
SCOTTISH SALMON TARTARE: Fresh fish, avocado, salmon roe, and spicy miso sauce, again with nice presentation. It may be helpful to ask for a spoon for this dish.
NIGIRI: Super fresh. Go with any recommendations you receive. Had great masu, Hamachi, akami, ika, and (an especially amazing) hotate on our first visit. Everything was of great quality, and large thick pieces with lightly-​vinegared perfectly-​formed rice.
TORO TAKU: Maki-​style roll with fatty tuna, scallions, pickled daikon, and bonito flakes. Possibly our favorite item tried on our first visit. Simple but wonderful.
UNA KYU: Maki-​style roll with golden eel and cucumber. Savory and enjoyable.
FLASH ROLL: One of the few somewhat-​Americanized rolls on the menu, in five large pieces with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and masago in soy paper. BF really enjoyed this.
I can’t fully express what a gem this place is. Space is small, seating a maximum of 30. Service is attentive and personable, even if seats at the bar aren’t available. Fish freshness and quality was much higher than location led me to expect, with generous cuts and proper rice ratio. Dishes and quality were comparable to what we received on a recent trip to Kabuto, at half the price (though none of the grilled dishes). I live dangerously close to this spot and it will be hard to try new places with this spot right outside my backdoor.
TIP: Lunch menu features a daily bento and sashimi combo, both exceptionally well-​priced.
