3 words: Mini Kobe Burgers!!! This place is a little pricey, but those yummy pieces of goodness won me over. Minus one star because we were originally going to be seated outside and have a good view of the recurring TI show, but the seats were wet. Blah. Oh well, I still enjoyed our mini kobe burgers!! MMM.

Oh man did Social House deliver!!
This was the perfect place to eat with my 2 friends before hitting the town on a Saturday night. We loved everything that we ordered, but the 2 stand outs were the yellowtail sashimi w/ tempura jalapenos on top and our chilled watermelon saki drinks. I'm really not a huge fan of saki, but theirs tasted like fresh squeezed watermelon juice.. of which I AM a fan. I also liked that they serve it chilled because warm saki kinda grosses me out. This was also the 1st time I have ever tried yellowtail sashimi, as I usually stick to ahi tuna and salmon sashimi... but Social House has now broken my old sashimi ordering routine for good. The other items we enjoyed were the miso cod, crab & shrimp fried rice, and lychee beigents.
Yes, the food is a bit pricey, but Social House is still 5 stars in my book cuz of the awesome staff who totally HOOKED US UP for the night w/ VIP services at the new Christian Audigier Nightclub below, as well as LAX and PURE. So really, the price we paid for dinner was totally worth it! And who doesn't love skipping long lines, no cover, and free drinks? Go and have a ball... we definitely did! Oh, and I'd also recommend sitting on the patio for a great view.
Thanks Social House! I'll be back for more!!

"Scenester" sushi bars are generally all about the glitz and less about the fish. One would expect this to be even moreso in Las Vegas. One would be incorrect.
Reservations for the patio overlooking the pirate show were easy on a Thursday night and the crowd was a mixed bag of older rich guys with their wives and younger hipsters wearing True Religion. Like everywhere else in Vegas, however, it isn't as much about how you look as how you spend.
Seating was prompt and the servers were quick......too quick, IMO, to suggest the most expensive menu items when my buddy asked for recs. Admittedly, though, he was knowledgable of the menu and knew how to guide my non-sushi-loving friend to some safe choices.
Throughout the course of the meal we selected and sampled the Tempura shrimp with cold udon and sweet sauce, Unagi Avocado Rolls, Kobe Tartare Roll, Jalapeno Hamachi Tartare, Cracklin Scallops with grilled eggplant, Chocolate Lava Cake, and Mochi. Each dish was delicious and my friend raved the Kobe roll so much I actually ate beef for the first time in 7 years (what happens in Vegas, I guess.) Particular standouts were the flawless Scallops and the Cherry Blossom Mochi.
After the pirate show (from an AWESOME angle directly behind and w/o the crowd) we made our way out to the bar area, and although not particularly my 'scene' had a great time. The waitress was friendly (not to mention gorgeous,) the drinks were pricey but tasty, especially the espresso Martini, and the crowd was fun.
All told, for a "scenester" sushi club, the place is nice and the fish is much fresher than most places of the like. If you're looking for a place with a good view of the strip, some dinner time entertainment, a happening scene afterwards, and decent prices (expected Vegas Markup) for the food quality I'd say Social House might fit the bill.
Non vivant: I know, kinda pointless since there's not much more to be said about the House, right? But since I'm not much of a hipster and I don't really frequent Boo! Gee! ish dining spots...I really had a good time here.
Rage: Gotta call out the server though...teh girl and I came early, we had reservations, and you sit us a couple feet away from another couple? Fuck that shit....so I get up and take the menus outside. He comes back looking for us, we're watching the TI(ts) show.
Balance: "We were lucky to get the deck table (judging from the other reviews, I guess it's hit or miss with the seating) and it wasn't too hot outside."
Ceasefire: LV Strip sights and sounds accompanied the conversation and since we were trying a bit of everything, the servers kept the sushi plates coming. Liked the lockbox touch on the steps coming up too, that was different. Recommend the ahi and other fish dishes.
Have to try the kobe burgers next time. Get the yellowtail with extra jalapeno and "wasabi that fucker." (It's the new "superman that ho," in case you were wondering.) It's potent. They also kept my sake warm. Good on ya.
Check mate (two words): Since I was already in an irie mood, had we just gone to a lounge or even Drai's...it would have been fuckin' Valhalla and I would have woken up around 2pm. But NOOO, had to go to (Ex)LAX, stupid constipated little hole.
Oh yeah, this was about Social House and not my mating rituals. Would definitely come back. So nice.

Came at 12:40am on a Monday night and it was thoroughly closed... having been done with business at 12am. But the decor was beautiful and they pointed us onto the second leg of our tour of _five_ late night Vegas sushi places.

Mixed bag from my point of view.
We sat near the sushi bar and didn't get to see the rest of the scene till went to the ladies room, so we missed all the atmosphere we didn't realize we were waiting for.
Service was decent.
The hamachi sashimi with jalapeno - delicious!!! 5 stars - but ummm $20? I guess I should expect that since it's Vegas and all, but then be a little more generous with the portions then - K? 6 slices of see-through thin hamachi with a sliver of jalepeno on top? The whitefish appetizer was equally delicious and skimpy.
Put it this way - we spent $$$ and still left hungry, but what we did eat was damn good.

I wanted to come here for a few reasons, I love Sushi but also because I really wanted to see the pirate show that was in front of it. So we sat down to eat and asked the server to let us know when the show started.
The food was OK, I've had better in SF but to be honest the Adobo chicken was not very good, it was pretty much flavorless with a kinda burned taste added. My mom did not even like it and so poor thing could not eat anything since she does not like Sushi. So the food was OK, but not worth the price.
The SHOW, OH MY GOSH THE SHOW. I'm a total Disney freak, so I'm expecting action fun! But what did I get you may ask??
Well what you get is a girls ship and a boys ship or may I say some Scantly Clad women in skanky costumes and hot men with their shits off. Wow this was ridiculous, I cant believe people take their children to it! I mean really they are dancing and slapping their thighs and grinding and ewww... I don't want to tell anymore, images are re appearing in my head and it is not fun.
So see the show if you are a drunk and horny male otherwise there are much better things to do.

The Ambience here is good- techno in the backround (not too loud) and yummy Watermelon Sake make the night good. However, the Sushi here is not up to par with what i've had (i.e. Sushi on the Rock in La Jolla, Nozomi and Mr. Sushi and Harney's in San Diego, Sen Dai in Milpitas to name a few). I had the Spicy tuna- the flavor was not as fresh as i would have hoped, and it wasn't spicy enough. I also had the Adobo chicken roll- the sauce was good, but the chicken was dry. The service here is ok- the waitress was nice, but the bussers were awesome. the sub waiter was very rude to us, saying that we ordered more drinks that we actually did. It would have been ok, if he didin't have such an attitude about it.
I've been wanting to check this place out. It's got what you're looking for when you want to get a sushi fix in vegas. Trust me on this one. Decent quality, unique atmosphere, good service ( thanks Frank and Matt ), and a bonus outdoor dining area that directly overlooks the strip. It's hip, chic, and elegant at the same time. Whatever they were going for, it works. I didn't have much time before we had to head to Pam Anderson's party at LAX so we decided to forgo the unique structuring of cold, hot, and sushi courses that they recommended - which was very innovative by the way. Instead we chopped through kobe tataki rolls (explosive ), mixed sashimi, and curry lobster rolls. Pairing it with a bottle of the german riesling didn't turn out too bad either. I'll probably be back here again.

Social House not only met my expectations, but surpassed them. I love sushi, not only was the food delicious, but the atmosphere was perfect. This is really one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas, and I make a point of coming here everytime, not only because of the food and atmosphere, but because it is one of the more reasonable "fine dining" establishments in Vegas.
The Scene
While I am not a fan of Treasure Island, I must admit, I do love the Pirate show, which can be seen from the balcony of Social House. As you walk in and up the stairs, you are surrounded by gold lockboxes, glass stairs, and lights in bird cages. Not only does it feel swanky, but a dj spins everynight, and the maze of rooms allow for private intimate seating.
This is the kind of restaurant which I give up all control and allow the waiter/waitress to bring whatever they recommend. The service here is amazing, the waitresses are gorgeous, and knowledgeable.
The Food
sushiwise, I always order some staples, (unagi,sake, tuna roll,spider roll...etc, all were excellent)
MUST HAVES: Citrus Miso Cod, Kobe Beef Gyoza, Chili Lemongrass Bass....anything your server recommends.
The Drinks
watermelon saki.....need I say more? It's amazing
The entire saki list was outstanding, yes, I can say this because I probably have tried them all by now...I am fond of their unfiltered selection

You know what, I liked this place. The hostess was rude and they screwed up our reservations, but the food was good. To start we had the house salad with ginger dressing and seared tuna. That was pretty unremarkable. The tuna tataki and yellowtail sashimi w/ jalapeno was awesome though. I realllly liked the tempura jalapeno. So good. For entrees, we had kobe burgers (boring), arctic charr (the best dish, i thought), miso cod (the worst dish ... 3 days or whatever the length of marinade was, was far too long ...), and kalbi skewers (don't waste your money on these). The meal was overall pretty good. The fire alarm went off like a million times, though. That was quite annoying. I wanted to sit on the patio, but we ended up sitting inside. Kim Kardashian and her crew sat next to us, so I guess our seats weren't that bad after all.

Had a great experience at Social House with the gf and another couple who go there religiously. We let them do the ordering since they're regulars. The ambiance was great and we were seated on the patio overlooking the Pirate Show.
We had:
Yellowtail Sashimi w Jalapeno
Tuna Tataki
Kobe Beef Burgers
Crab Fried Rice
Softshell Crab Roll
Wasabi Tobiko - Fish Roe marinated in Wasabi
Everything we had was GREAT. I couldn't have asked for a better meal. Try everything above and you will not be disappointed, however watch out for the Wasabi Tobiko - only for spicy wasabi lovers!!

Unfriggin believable. I will start off by saying my opinion is biased because of the amazing table we got. K-Fed who has given this world nothing, actually cancelled right before we got there and we were given his VIP table. The room we sat in overlooked the Treasure Island Pirate show and had its own private balcony and bathroom. If K-Fed deserves this type of lifestyle why don't we I wondered?
The food was amazing. The sushi was very good, I had a chicken with sundried tomatoes in it, very different, but very good. The Kobe burgers with flavored ketchup and mustard were also a big hit with everyone at the table. For dessert we basically tried one of everything even the lunch bag of donuts which were delicious. The drink menu also has some interesting and fun choices that were all tasty. Overall a top of the line dining experience. If you are staying at TI and make a reservation ask for the room that overlooks the pirate show. If they say no, just tell them you know K-Fed.

I love sushi, and love a good restaurant with cool ambiance. Social House had that, but...I don't think I'd go back. I was with a group of girls and we sat outside (very cool). BUT, there were misters all around the walls, and even though it was warm out it was WAY too much. Sort of wet and hard to see, even the waiter said he wanted to turn them off but couldn't. (was this a line?) The sushi was good, but I've had good sushi in other places, too. Not inexpensive but what is in Vegas? Oh, and the portions were much smaller than the average sushi bar. The scallop nigiri was good, the rolls were okay.
Maybe if they had turned the misters off earlier in the evening we would have relaxed and enjoyed dinner more...

At this eclectic modern industrial themed sushi lounge, be prepared to spend a lot of cash. Currently the hottest spot to eat sushi on the strip and located in Treasure Island, everyone who's anyone has been spotted here. And the experience lived up to reputation. Both times that I dined here, I have been treated to an amazing spread of culinary fusions. From lobster salad, miso marinated cod, battered popcorn rock shrimp and king crab, yellowtail sashimi with deep fried jalapeno, and ending with a plate of rich desserts, I was completely satisfied. If you don't know what to order, ask the chef to prepare the menu for you. You won't regret it. Reservations in advance are highly recommended.
Whenever I go to Vegas, it's been a buffet or quick fast food as dining options. On my recent trip, I wanted to live it up and find some trendy, too cool for school restaurant to eat at before my girlfriend and I saw LOVE. I chose Social House because: 1. it's owned by Pure Management (Pure, LAX etc.) 2. It's asian fusion, sushi place and 3. It's at Treasure Island which is next door to Mirage where LOVE is at. TIP: When I was ordering tickets for the show, the operator asked if I wanted to make dinner reservations at any of the MGM Mirage hotels (TI, Mirage, MGM, Bellagio), so I got everything planned in one phone call.
The dcor and ambiance of this place totally exudes a hip, too cool for school vibe. You check in on the ground floor and go up the gold bank deposit box drawer staircase. The restaurant seems like one long winding hallway with semi-private rooms, outside patio, and half bench, half chair table setups. We were seated at the newspaper stack section. There's gonna be about 3 or 4 different people waiting on you, but they do a fantastic job. Even the water boy haha.
We started off with some wonderfully prepared edamame. Perfectly cooked and seasoned with rock salt. We ordered some smooth fruit infused sake. It was called 'cabin in the snow' or something haha. For our sushi rolls, we ordered salmon skin and the adobo roll. I knew the head chef was Filipino so I really wanted to try the adobo roll. I was expecting some moist, semi-greasy adobo you get at typical Filipino family party, but it was just okay. The dipping sauce made it kinda better.
For our entrees, we tried to miso citrus cod and the kobe burgers. HELLA GOOD. The cod was prepared beautifully and the kobe melted in your mouth. When the Filipino waiter brought out the burgers, he said 'there's 2 different sauces, horse radish and BANANA KETCHUP' to which my girlfriend immediately replied 'you mean JUFRAN (filipino ketchup; a staple in any filipino kitchen)?' he goes 'yeah! How did you know?' Also, the buns are on pan de sal, filipino dinner rolls.
For dessert, we had the lychee beigents and berry sherbet. Awesome way to end the meal. We had an good time at Social House. Perfect place for a date.

==========
Instead of a large dining room, the restaurant in the corner of the hotel, decor & lay out are very hip, modern charming and sophisticated Japanese lifestyle, a very unique look. Access to the restaurant is a marble stairs with stainless steel rail. Inside you will also see a bank of golden safe deposit boxes which signify good luck for gamblers. It is cool & trendy, with a open space lounge. There's DJ playing nightly music in open balcony which looking out to the strip or you can catch the pirate show.
teh young & talented chef Joseph Elevado, formerly at Nobu NYC & Las Vegas, offers his artistic food and creative blends of flavors. Pastry chef Ralph Perrazzo, formerly of Bradley Ogden Vegas and Jean Georges in New York, developed the must have dessert menu.
I love his unique dishes at Nobu, but at Social House, he executeswell & blends all other influence Asian cuisines. Chef Elevado offers the freshness ingridients that they fly it in daily from all over the world.
We decided to go with the tasting menu (as how much I love to go all out!) We were devoured the Shrimp Tempura with a Sweet Sesame Sauce. The Hamachi Tartar with Yuzu Pepper was perfectly seared. The Seared Tuna with Social house ginger dressing was so fresh & perfectly melt in my mouth. The Kobe Beef Takaki with Spicy Ponzu was delectable. The Scallops with asparagus foam was so well prepared. & then the sushi platter with Ama Ebi with fried head, Sake, Toro, Saba, and Shrimp rolls. Finally 2 desserts to finish up the tasting menu! & all that for $110 per person, not bad at all compares to $150 plus at Nobu!
This is only my second time here & the services were excellent on both of my visit. They sat us down within 2 minutes & our server was very attentive.
This is 1 of the "IN" spots, were looking over the corner table there was some celebs there! WOW!

This place is definitely in my top 5 favorite restaurants.
Although the place is described as "Japanese" tapas, I'm pretty sure that's just a technique they use to get you to order too many items. Don't fall for it because you can try just a few and still enjoy the experience without being hungry. We tried:
- A special off-the-menu appetizer the waiter suggested with thinly sliced tuna, green pepper oil, and crispy scallions. AMAZING!
- Scallop dish with Japanese eggplant and vanilla foam which was cooked very well, but the sweet foam weirded me out a bit.
- Kobe Sliders, which normally comes with 3 and some tempura-style onion rings with banana ketchup (normally yuck, but it was very lightly flavored) and some kind of citrus mayonnaise. This dish ROCKED.
- A lobster California roll, adobo chicken roll, and a spicy tuna with shrimp roll which were just so-so and not as well-made as I would have expected (not very tightly rolled). I would actually skip most of the rolls unless there's something really fantastic that you can't live without.
The hot and cold appetizers are really where it's at. I can't say much for the raw sushi items because we didn't try any, but the rolls were a bit of a disappointment. However, it's a great atmosphere and very trendy without being too shi-shi. It's by no means cheap, but you could probably get away with $50-60 a head and be satisfied.
P.S. Make reservations, especially for large groups in advance!

I'd have to say that Social House comes the closest to Nobu in terms of quality and deliciousness out of all the fancy-shmancy Japanese restaurants I've ever been to-this includes: Katsuya, Koi, and Ozumo. Everything we had here was wonderfully delicious, and the view from the patio made the experience even better.
We ordered the ahi special, the seared scallops with eggplant, the citrus peel miso cod, edamame, a bottle of sake (forget which one) and some rolls for the table. All of them were very tasty. I'd say that scallop dish is up there with the best scallop dishes I've ever had-and I'm a big scallop fan. The miso cod was the closest to Nobu's cod in terms of quality and taste out of all the miso cods i've tried-although it was a little too sweet. I'd also like to mention that the edamame was cooked well-something that many upscale Japanese restaurants do not get right! It came out warm, soft and SALTED. In addition, our server Jared was down to earth and a pleasure to talk to.
The ambiance was nice as well-I'd say its better than Nobu's ambiance-they have a large patio that overlooks the strip. Perfect for taking first timers visiting Vegas. The crowd is hip and young, but the quality of the food shines through the fluff. I will definitely be back.

Very Solid Sushi place. While they do not have an extensive roll menu what they have they do very well. Try the lobster roll with yellow curry it is one of the stronger rolls. Social House can be rather pricey so be prepared. They also have a huge selection of Sake and the service when we went was very nice.
I'm not a big sushi eater, but what I ate was delicious! Got the california rolls (yes, I am not adventurous) and shrimp tempura. Yummmmm. This place is kinda pricey, and this is the first time I've ever paid $5 for "japanese long-grain rice". It's ok though, I was on vacation, so it was ok to splurge. I also had the tastiest lychee martini, complete with a liquor soaked lychee at the bottom!
I also heard some amazing house music being played here while we ate our dinner. Probably the best I heard all weekend.

Thanks Giada for referral on this one.(Food Network chef, yes.)
Going to Social House was sooo cool. Gorgeous Asian interior and much larger than perceived from the outside view on the Strip.
If you love sushi like me and excellent service this place literally rocks. Seated outside by the Pirate show the view was sweet. Our waiter explained the menu thoroughly and put nothing past us.
I asked for a roll that wasn't on the menu..a spicy tuna roll rolled in tempura batter crunchies..yummy!! VERY accommodating I ended up ordering two of those. We had seared scallops satay, asian green salad, Kobe beef steak which was so tender and flavorful. The steak was served with three shabu shabu style sauces. Again the service was top notch, attending to our every need with exceptional timing and courtesy.
When in LV for sushi and fusion food ...this is it.

This place was fantastic! It was our first evening in Vegas and we were RAVENOUS so we dropped in at Social House for an early dinner... We were seated right away. The decor of this place is fabulous, very gorgeous, very Japanese-esque. The wait staff was very friendly, very helpful (maybe because we were just ahead of their dinner rush?!!?) the service was quick. I had the most delicious nonalcoholic Mojito- it was PERFECT!!! I ordered three items from the menu and while the curry vegetable fried rice was interestingly spicy, the star for me was this roll I ordered...no name....Just ingredients: Sundried tomato, cream cheese, cucumber, lemon-miso sauce.....IT WAS AMAZING. I wanted to go back the next day to have that roll again! I plan to try and recreate it now that I am back home! The flavors were perfect together.... This place was jumpin when we walked by a few ours later. They have a great outdoor balcony for eating that overlooks the pirate show. I would recommend this place to anyone.

First expensive sushi/ japanese restaurant I have ever ate at. I had reservations, so my bf and I didn't have to wait at all. We ordered two alcohol drinks to start us off. Then we ordered the Yellowtail sashimi with jalapenos, Citrus Peel Miso Cod, Shrimp, Spicy Tuna Battera roll, and a raspberry sorbet with crispy balls for dessert. The yellowtail sashimi and Citrus Peel Miso Cod was absolutely delicious! The sushi roll was typical and lacking flavor. It only looked unique because it was boxed shaped instead of a circle. The dessert was also really good too! The crispy balls had a creamy custard-like thing inside it. So the bill came out to be a total of $113. The atmosphere was nice here and the lighting of the place was a nice dim. Best expensive japanese food I have ever had!
oh yeah and the dessert menu has changed! i wanted to try the banana split, but there was no more
Food: 4 stars
Service: 3 stars
Price: 3 stars
We came here for dinner on Saturday night at around 6:30pm, so no waiting in line. The waitress lead us upstairs for a table of two at the corner. The interior design and ambiance was very nice. A little too dark, that we couldn't see our food clearly. May be because we sat in the corner.
As soon as we sat down, a waiter came and asked us if we would like some water. We said yes and he asked "sparkling or plain?" And I said sparkling. At the end when we got the bill, $7.50 was charged for that bottle of water. I was not happy about that service as he didn't mention sparkling water is not free. As a high-end restaurant like this, this is not a good customer service. So I took out one star for the service.
We ordered two Social House rolls: shrimp, spicy tuna battera $20 for 6 pcs; and hamachi, chilies cilantro, garlic chips with citrus soy sauce $12 for 6 pcs. Both rolls were just ok, just a decent Japanese roll. For hot dishes, we ordered pan peared sea scallop, nasu miso, curry emulsion $26 for 6 pcs, citrus peel miso cod $22, and searing tuna with Social House ginger dressing $24. All of them were yummy, but the portions were small.
We also ordered a small bottle of cold sake called "Rihaku Wandering Poet" $38, which was the best sake I've ever had so far! Finally, we ordered crispy ice cream $10 for dessert. We substituted with coffee ice cream. The ice cream was wrapped with crunchy sweet corns and taro sweet paste served on the side. Delicious!
It is a fusion Japanese restaurant, so don't come here for authentic Japanese food. Also I think their hot dishes are much better than the sushi rolls. Unfortunately, I think the food is a bit overpriced. Otherwise, it worth going there again.

This place is good, definitely go if your in Vegas. The sushi is good not great but the ambiance and the crowd it attracts can't be beat!
I went to Social House with my sister and best girlfriends Saturday during my Vegas bachelorette party. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. We sat outside in very comfortable garden furniture, ate delicious Japanese and Pan-Asian fusion food, had great drinks, saw the pirate show three times (yes, we were there a while) and had OUTSTANDING service. Nate and Ron were not only attentive, sweet and knowledgeable waiters, but very adorable as well!
Would recommend to anyone and would definitely go back!

One of my favorite Las Vegas restaurants in a city with pretty awesome restaurants. The design concept created by Avroko is unbelievably cool. Go for Kobe beef rolls and fruit infused sake. Make sure to check out the birdcages above the bar...it is 'Rock Vegas' after all.

I can't stop thinking about you.
Your naked flesh was so smooth and enticing. Your skin was toned to just the perfect color. Your scent tingled all my senses. What was it that you put on that night? Whatever it was, it was my favorite! Baby, I knew I couldn't hold back after taking one look at you. I just had to taste you...lick you...devour your juices. Your friends, although looking good enough for a second glance and maybe even a little nibble, couldn't be compared to you. You were truly unique in every way. I'll never forget you.
Until next time, Ginger-Soy Seared Ahi Tuna...

We are big fans of sushi at Little Buddha (Palms) so it took a lot for us to try Social House. We wanted to sit outside and this is one of the few sushi places with outdoor seating. The atmosphere of this place is incredible. It's very chic, modern, hip, and plays great music. The outdoor patio overlooking the strip and Venetian (and pirate show) is spectacular. Social House probably serves THE best spicy tuna rolls I have ever had. The toasted sesame seeds inside the rolls were a nice touch and the tuna was uber fresh. The salmon and cream cheese roll was dee-lish as well. We tried the adobo chicken roll (one of their house rolls) and sent it back. I guess warm chicken threw us off and we didn't like the taste of it. In fact, it was weird. Prices were reasonable and they had a great wine list. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Vegas.
As for the service, it was good. We liked how the waitstaff cleared our 'used' edamame plate frequently and filled our water glasses nonstop. Our waiter did forget one of our items but hey, everyone forgets things once in a while.
We splurged and ordered the chocolate cake for dessert. With the chocolate cake came Kona coffee ice cream. It was sinful. It was seriously THE most delicious ice cream we have ever tasted.
Now for something really cool: If you want to make a reservation you can go to their web site, fill out a reservation request form and someone will literally call you within 2 minutes. That was awesome!
oh my gosh! thanks to the great review on here i have found a great asian/fusion restaurant here in vegas. i read someone's review about the kobi burgers and definitely was curious. Lo and behold...he was right...the KOBE BURGERS ARE THE BEST THERE...aaaaaaaahhhh. the only bad thing was that we had made a reservation for 12 people for 10pm but didn't get seated until 1040p or so...sheesh. Also be prepared to pay a grip on great food.
I'm not really sure if I like this place. They're set up to where there are a couple small rooms and each room has a couple tables in it. It might get a little crowded if you go with a decent sized party (10ish).
The things that stood out on the menu were some Filipino dishes that you're not used to seeing at any restaurant that serves sushi. According to the waiter, the head chef is a Filipino guy. The waiter did a very good job selling the stuff to us, but as a Filipino, I certainly knew better than to pay $18 for six pieces of lumpia, or $20 for some pancit. I'm sure the chef cooks them well, but those two dishes should never cost that much unless you have enough to feed an army. Most of what we ordered was less than memorable and what really stood out were the steaks. The filet came out rare and the ribeye came medium rare. Both were amazing! I'd go back and order just those.
A couple hundred dollars spent for 6 of us was ok. A little overpriced for what they sold but hey, that's Vegas.

We had sushi at Social House and it was very good. The sushi chef was very attentive, although it's worth mentioning we had very early reservations. We asked the chef for a recommendation and he enthusiastically prepared for us a order of iidako - baby octopus that was not listed as a special on the menu. We were pleased with his selection. We also had some tasty kampachi, bonito and uni. Actually, I remember the uni being some of the best I've had....
Decor is sexy. Waitstaff is all attractive. Hostesses are bitchy. Typical Vegas.

Dark, cozy, sensual, and rich. If the interiors in this restaurant have not won any awards, something is wrong with this world.
We were seated outside so we could watch the cheezy Pirates show. It was fun, except intermittently too noisy to talk.
It's not Nobu (imo, the very best sushi place in town), but the food ranged from very good to excellent. I'd go back again. (Sorry, not my most exciting review.)

The best thing about Social House was the Kobe Beef burgers. I'm not too into sushi, but those little burgers were just to die for! Totally helped that they were served with for fabulous tempura covered onion rings.
The servers steered some people into choosing some wrong dishes which put a bit of a damper on the evening. Didn't try the desserts since we brought a cake for the birthday girl, but with what we bought it seemed a bit pricey, although all in all it was a fun experience!
Great for groups and for couples.
There is bar right outside the main restaurant where you can get your drink on before you head on in.
Classy and elegant.
The food is alright....for being an asian food place. Not too much I liked so I ordered the kobe beef burger sliders with onion rings. I could have had this at cheesecake factory or something.
I gave it the 3rd star for the dessert menu. Very good.
Pretty much you're paying for the ambiance not the food.

Had dinner on 05/02/08; we had no reservations and just walked in, which made it a plus. The service was great, the decor and atmosphere made it fun, and the yellowtail sashimi with jalapenos and the star rabbit sake were awesome..definately recommend these two!
Ok.....let me begin by saying that yes this place is a bit pricey but the price of the food is well worth it. I love sushi but I have always had the same set of rolls that I have enjoyed, i have never really ventured out into the unknown territory of sashimi. Let me tell you just how much I love the fish and sushi at this resturant. We decided to tell the waiter the types of flavors that we enjoyed and he then would bring us what he thought that we might enjoy. He hit the nail on the head-out of everything we tried there was only one thing that was a little disappointing but that was only because the sauce on the beef roll was weird. However, there was this beef Sashimi thing that we had that had a tempura jalapeo that was on top of it. This was the biggest hit in our group, oh yea the scallop roll that we had was also a major hi
