All you can eat sushi off the strip?
Away from all the crowds of the hotel buffets?
Yezzzirrr!
Vegas for the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight brought major crowds any and everywhere. Times like this it's nice to explore the part of Vegas that you tend to forget about. You know the part where you realize there's more to this city than just a strip of street infested with over the top hotels. Don't get me wrong I love it as much as anybody else, but sometimes the crowds can be a bit much. Escape for a couple of hours from the madness isn't a bad idea.
This place was a nice change of pace. Head sushi chef was way cool. Made to order rolls made in on like Donkey Kong. Place was full of locals so it had to be legit. One of the highlights to a highlight packed weekend!
A VERY GOOD AYCE SUSHI PLACE ON THE WEST SIDE
Sushi Mon is on of a myriad All You Can Eat (AYCE) Sushi restaurants throughout Las Vegas. For the most part, I have had favorable experiences at the AYCE places in Vegas. In the old days, AYCE meant Buffet Style like Makino. Makino was fine, but sushi lovers knew that the price you had to pay for AYCE was that it was not as good as Made To Order. But a few years ago the AYCE trend caught on at many of the good sushi places that were only set up for Made To Order and that is when AYCE Sushi really took off. Really, there are so many AYCE Made To Order places in Vegas I don't know how the places that don't have AYCE stay in business.
In November 2009, AYCE Made To Order Sushi in Las Vegas is going for between $24 and $28. My eleven year old son, Tristan, can eat $28 of sushi in about 15 minutes, so we make out way ahead, dollars wise. What would normally be a $150-$200 bill ends up being just under $100 for three people (with drinks and tax).
In Henderson, my favorite place is The Ka (Warm Springs & Green Valley). The sushi is top-notch for AYCE and the atmosphere is actually very good for a sushi place. Most sushi places that put any effort into their atmosphere tend to charge much more than the other sushi places, but not The Ka. Additionally, the sushi chefs at The Ka have quite a bit of personality (which makes up for their challenged English... hey, I can barely speak any Japanese, if THAT is what they are speaking, so they're doing much better than me on the bilingual thing.)
Now that we're living on the "West Side" we have to find a place to get our sushi fix. My girlfriend lived over here recently anyways and Sushi Mon was "her place." We actually went to Sushi Mon for our first date although neither of us were really paying much attention to what was going into our mouths in the restaurant that day.
The quality and selection of the sushi is very good. I like to gage my sushi places by the quality of the salmon (aka "sake") and I was not disappointed. It was very soft, smooth, and very tasty. My girlfriend likes to use the Yellowtail as her gage and it certainly passes muster with her as with me. We had a variety of the typical rolls you can get in Vegas and each one of them was good to great.
The atmosphere is typical for Las Vegas sushi restaurants, at least the non-casino places. It always seems to be busy here and it seems they would be able to fill a few more tables if they had the room for it. Not much for decoration but there's nothing disconcerting about it either. The most important part is that it is clean, which it is. The sushi chefs were very good and surprisingly fast (in spite of a packed place). I wish they had a little more personality but I probably need to go back a few more times and start some kind of rapport with them and they'd probably be just fine.
Here's a kicker for me: THEY HAVE A STAMP CARD. Your 10th AYCE is free, which is like getting $2.80 off each meal. Not all places do this in Las Vegas and if you're looking for a new "favorite place," this certainly helps tip things in favor of a place who does have a stamp card.
If you're looking for All You Can Eat Made To Order Sushi on the West Side of Las Vegas I would recommend that you check this place out. I'm sure there are other good places in the area, but this one is good for me.
All you can eat Sushi? Really? In Vegas nonetheless? Poor buffet quality imitation sushi comes to mind. But Sushi Mon can't be further from that image.
For less than $30 for dinner, you get high quality sushi for all you can eat. It's a great way to try several different types of sushi and rolls (as long as you finish it) and you will like some more than others but I've never not been able to finish an order. Everything is just that good.
Cajun Albacore is a personal favorite by the way. Don't forget to save just a small bit of room for ice cream (included of course).
My belly aches in a good way.
Maria and I just finished the AYCE while in town for a brief vacation, man, I'm glad this hasn't caught on in LA. At $26 per person for dinner, this is not a bad price for the ridiculous amount of sushi they have. Good selection of rolls, nigiri, hand rolls, and other appetizers and deserts. My favorite was the 9-11 roll (super spicy! burns in a good way) , and the delicious strawberry mochi. Our server was excellent as well, always there asking us for more the second we finished something.
So Dan, why only 4 stars? It's far from the strip, situated in a suburban shopping center. You'll need GPS to find this. Also this place was packed on a Monday night, with 6 chefs working. Given how busy they were, the decor is weak. A makeover would make this place an easy 5 star.
Ok, so after a few visits to this place, I figured it's time to update my review.
I don't classify myself as a Sushi connoisseur by any stretch, so I would say that doesn't qualify me too well to review this for people who are. With that said, if you are new to sushi, and want to find what you like, this place is a good choice.
I only wish I could get s steak with my sushi. And maybe a baked potato and a salad. :)

As a newbie to sushi, I was cautious to make sure that my first experience was somewhere that was… Read more »
Sushi Mon, yum yum (AYCE)! A friend told me sushi mon in Vegas, this time we were in vegas and planned to try out this unbelievable place.
Two of us orders the followings to share, each dish for both of us, otherwise too much
Toro
Sweet shrimp
Uni
RedSnapper
Mackeral
YellowTail
Octopus
Unagi
Tomago
Inari
Spider Roll
Salmon Skin HandRoll
Fried Oyster
Redbean ice cream
For each person 26.5
I think we save about $20 on the bill, the fish are fresh and nice cut. I will go back
3rd time in this place. Its so good!
This time I visited there during lunch. Even better. No Lines, Food came in fast. Since this is an all you can eat restaurant, you will not worrying about "left over fish" issues like other a la carte sushi (yes, in Japanese culture you may get to eat the fish from the day before during lunch).
Everything is fresh and their fried stuffs are actually quite yummy (Shrimp tempura, fried shumai). Ahi Poke salad is good too. I didn't like the grilled yellowtail cheek too much.
Make sure to save rooms for desserts! Yummy lychee ice creams!
How much sushi do you think you can eat within a 45 minutes time span? Up for the challenge? Come hungry!
Go to Sushi Mon and test your lightening speed sushi consumption here.
For $21.95, you WILL get your money's worth for all you can eat sushi. And yes, it's fresh.
Let me know how it goes and how many of their 911 rolls you were able to handle :) Thanks Jenn and Glenn for another new Vegas intro!
All you can eat. WOW!!! I really liked this place. Probably better than the one on Maryland Parkway and Silverado ranch. My favorites: the salmon sushi, ama ebi, fried shrimp heads and pretty much everything. They do not mess around here. You can order as much as you want...as long as you eat it all. Which I always do. You can order half rolls which is great because you can try a lot of different variations. This place has now become one of my favorites.
GOSSIP UPDATE
I haven't been back since my last bad experience, but I did get some gossip from a reliable source. Apparently, a little while back - right around the time I noticed a significant decline in the quality - they lost their head chef. Word is he went over to the other Sushi Mon in Henderson.
And I also found out that it's not entirely correct that the two Sushi Mons are not related. Apparently the old manager of this Sushi Mon on Sahara started up the Sushi Mon in Henderson - there may have been like some sort of payment or franchise type agreement.
Currently, the two are separately owned and run, but there is a little bit of a relationship there as you can see. However if you ask them they will say they are not related.
Anyways, if the head chef's gone over to Henderson then I guess I'll have to check that place out again.

Dear Sushi Mon,
What has happened to you? I was your number one fan. I've had over 50 meals with… Read more »
Whenever i eat all you can eat, I always come here. To me its a really fresh place for all you can eat, the fish is pretty good quality. If anyone else loves the cajun albacore there, thank my friend Chad. He invented that dish, he is now the sushi chef at Roy's Summerlin. He makes some DELICIOUS Stuff! Anyway back to Sushi mon, there rules are a little steep, and no sashimi, but the quality of their sushi is good. Like I said best all you can eat place I've found so far!
This is the best sushi buffet I've been to out here. The quality of the fish is outstanding. The fact that you get 2 pieces of toro, amaebi and uni as part of it already makes it worth it. We sat at the bar and chatted it up w/ our sushi chef, Nobu, who was awesome and made a couple of interesting pieces of sushi and rolls..guess it helps having a Japanese wife!!
Really good sushi! Great customer service, very attentive servers. I love their spicy tuna here, it's flavorful with a kick of spicy rather than the other way around like most places do spicy tuna. Their special rolls are definitely good too. I always get the Caterpillar roll, Tiger roll, and/or Dragon roll, amongst many other dishes. Everything always taste fresh here. I definitely go back whenever I have a sushi craving!
Sushi, Sushi, & More Sushi!
A typical sushi restaurant in a strip mall here in West Las Vegas! In my opinion, the all you can eat Sushi is the best part of the menu option. It's nothing like the typical buffet style of all you can eat. They make the Sushi right in front of you! The all you can eat includes the hot portion of the menu! The baked sea scallops is the way to go! I usually get various different rolls and try to eat as much of the different varieties they offer!
You get 45 mins. to eat as much as you can! You can order 1/2 orders of the maki rolls..the Hamachi is pretty fresh, but then again for the most part, so is everything here! All this for under $30 bucks!
Service is great! They usually don't miss a step!
all-you-can eat sushi for lunch $ 21.95.
you have exactly 45 mins to chow down on as many sushi rolls you can.
Sushi-Mon has several items to choose from. I was in sushi heaven. They charge extra if you order too much, and end up not eating it all. So order slowly, and pick wisely. The service is pretty quick, and they do 1/2 orders, so if you feel like you won't want an entire roll of a certain kind, they will accomodate you.
Top of your sushi adventure with some complimentary ice cream.
The red bean ice cream is yummy.
So I was in town late on a Monday night for a car show (SEMA) in Vegas. So I checked yelp for some all you can eat sushi that was off the strip. FYI I'm from so. cali and my fav all you can eat sushi places are Tadashi, Midori's, Riptide.
I have to say their poke bowl was good, salmon sushi, and yellowtail passed. When it came to the albacore it was pretty bad. It was soggy and mushy not good at all. Their scallops were pretty bland and not very large.
I liked their rolls, hard to fail on rolls because you have other ingredients to offset the quality of cut fish.
Their Miso soup was good and I finished off with green tea ice cream. But sorry I can't spend $30 bucks for a place thats mediocre. Infact I thought the salmon and tuna at the Bellagio buffet was much much satisfying.
I do not eat sushi...so I am writing a review on the chicken dish I ordered.
From beginning to end my experience sucked.
The lady who took our order thought I ordered the all you can eat sushi...she ASSUMED I was eating the same as everyone else. I friggin hate that. I ordered a chicken dish and she nodded ok. Alright so that meant she took my correct order down...NOT! Ugh...annoying. So I waited longer for my food to arrive.
Then when my food arrived it looked hella bland. The chicken portion was small, the rice was small, the salad that came with it was pitiful. The lame orange slices that came with it made the whole dish look even tackier. Just a tip: you should leave the slices of orange out of the dish. I'd say the only thing I really liked was the miso soup, but then again its hard to mess up soup.
Very disappointed. I won't come back. Sorry to everyone who loves the sushi here but I can't come back with you.
I have been to this place twice.. both experience are great... Their sushi is really good, the best sushi I've ever had.. They have a variety of selection for sushi and rolls, they also have mochi ice cream........ and so on (I don't really rmb :p) But but but, the 911 roll is so spicy that I almost need to call 911... overall, I will go back next time when I visit vegas... :)
They bumped up their prices a little. Its now $22 for lunch and $27 for dinner. But I calculated I ate well over $40 worth tonight. By myself. I'm gonna throw it all up anyways. jk. I tried inducing vomiting after a few large meals and could never get it to work out. I just dry heave.
Speaking of dry heaving (unrelated), I bent over today to pick something up and close-mouth burped. I TOTALLY puked in my mouth. My stomach was pretty empty so it was like, pure bile. GROSS. I cried.
Anyways. My circuit:
two orders of salmon
two orders of hamachi
hirame with shiso
half Moon roll (to satisfy the whitey in me)
half Frying Jason (to satisfy the glutton)
baked green mussel
white tuna
otoro
green tea ice cream
If you pay item by item, it averages $5 per for nigiri and $8 for rolls.
You have to strategically order your items. Get your nigiri started first. Then order a roll during round two because it takes longer. There is a science to AYCE sushi. You must optimize your time. The chefs can get busy. And don't be a douche because the chef's mutter indiscretions about you under their breaths in Japanese if you piss them off.
I also get a hot green tea. But that shit is piping hot. I have to let it cool off for like 10 minutes before I can even think about sipping it. I can't even hold the damn cup.
I'm bummed they discontinued the anago. There aren't many places in Vegas where you can find anago. They also don't have Spanish mackerel. (Ichiza has it sometimes! Carpaccio)
They also have uni. Its not on the menu. Neither is the white tuna or toro (I think).
A big bonus is that they're open late, 2a. Wait, is that a bonus? Because I always gorge myself then want to go straight to bed. I went tonight at 1245a. It looked like the crowd was winding down. Then at like 115, three parties walked in. Last call is at 130. Normally. Unless three parties walk in at 115a.
Sushi is aways good with a beer and sake.
They always have the tv on ESPN. Sound off.
* off the strip, non-casino

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. The all-you-can-eat special is made possible by the gaijin… Read more »
This is what I usually get in order to maximize the $26 all-you-can-eat price:
-Sweet shrimp (limit one per customer at $7 a plate, so it must be good!)
- 10 orders of their shrimp tempura. One order equals two pieces at about $4 an order. Their tempura has the perfect texture---crunchy goodness! My boyfriend orders this much just to take advantage of it.
- 3 orders of each Nigiri: Yellow Tail and Salmon, and Mackerel (I love raw stuff, and rolls fill me up, so I usually stick with the Nigiri
- Sherbert: LYCHEE!!!
- Strawberry Mochi!!!
- Hot green tea (it helps with the digestion which means I can eat more. Yes, I'm hardcore)
Tip: Go with friends so you can sample everything on the menu without having to pay a fee for not finishing your food. YOU MUST try the Lychee Sherbert. If you don't have room, buy one to share.
My favorite all-you-can-eat sushi place. Go during dinner and order toro (fat tuna), amaebi (sweet shrimp) and uni (sea urchin). They don't write these in the menu, but are available during dinner albeit just one order each. Then go ahead and splurge with the rest of the sushi items that you like. Always get my money's worth.
One word of caution - try off-peak hours as wait to sit and wait for you food once you sit could get frustrating. On the upside, I always get my money's worth.
After a busy day of gambling, drinking, and checking out various casinos, my boys and I were in the mood for some serious grubbage. Our other friend suggested this place, and said for $27, you can get all you can eat sushi as well as anything else on their menu.
It's a fairly small place and it took us about 20 minutes to get a seat. Not too bad a wait, but since all of us were so hungry, it seemed like forever.
Once you sit down, you can start ordering. Stick to the nigiri choices, unless there are some rolls on the menu that look good (we ordered quite a few spider rolls). A brief breakdown of what we ordered:
Salmon nigiri - 5/5
Maguro - 4/5
Ebi - 5/5
Hamachi - 4/5
Unagi - 5/5
Spider roll - 5/5
Shrimp heads - 4/5
Uni- 1/5 (color and taste was not good)...the only thing that sucked
Orders came out fairly quickly. I liked the fact that the rice balls for the nigiri were small sized....this place doesn't try to fill you up on the rice. Everything was really fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient.
One hour later, we waddled out, having completely killed this place. I'd definitely go back again.
YUM! sushi was the perfect thing to eat after getting my teeth cleaned down the street. soft food that won't hurt your slightly sore teeth/gums.
small place...probably only seats 50 people (including the sushi bar). service was excellent. probably not a place to come to if you're staying on the strip (as it's about 20 mins away), but i have family here and i love that they take me to the off-the-strip places.
all you can eat lunch for $21.95. came here with my cousins and i let them do all the ordering. there were two large full pages of sushi, rolls, specialties and sides to choose from. we didn't get any rolls, because of the "too filling" factor. i liked that the cooked items such as tempura and calamari came in servings of 4 pieces so it was enough for each of us to have one and move on to the next item. the sides (cold salads) are a very good accompaniment.
i never find the quality of fish to be that spectacular at AYCE places, but sushi mon was quite good! the white tuna (that i'd never had before) melted in my mouth!
end your meal with the plum ice cream. with many pieces of actual plum in it, it's so yummy! then again, since it's AYCE, get the red bean and green tea too!
(ROTD #4)
It gets soooo crowded here, but whatever you order here is worth waiting long...I personally love sushi rolls....with unagi....mmmmmm Thanks to dlaemon....oops...sushimon...
I've tried plenty of all you can eat sushi restaurants in Vegas (they seem to be popping up everywhere). Now it's kinda hard to go to a place like Little Buddha and pay $20 for a roll knowing you can go to Sushi Mon and pay about $30 for all you can eat. Usually when I hear all you can eat or buffet, I would say I am not interested because of the quality of the food.
Sushi Mon is def. the best for all you can eat for locals. You get the same thing for lunch, so it would be better to go for lunch if you can and pay less. They have a ton of rolls here-which are all really good-too many to mention. Alot are covered in sauces, but its not overboard like some other sushi restaurants. I also like how you can get a half order of the rolls.
Sushi seems fresh and the place is reliable. Waitresses are fast and available. I have tried to take out of town visitors here, but if they want some cool Vegas type place I guess this would not be the place to go. You would have to go on the strip, but then you pay for it there and portions are much smaller.
I would like this place even more if they let you get sashimi! I have been to another all you can eat in Vegas that has sashimi on the all you can eat (Hikari) but this place was dirty inside, old looking, ok I will just do another review haha.
They also have a good choice of appetizers you can get with the all you can eat.
This place was great. I got the all you can eat sushi and it was fantastic. I really like the fact that you can order 1/2 orders of rolls so that way you get to try more. Everything was amazing (except for the saki shooter that had quail egg in it....that was a little weird)! I will definitely go back here in the future
The All You Can Eat Option is the way to go at this restaurant.
There are plenty of choices and everything is made fresh to order. The fish is very fresh. Service is excellent and the entire staff is super friendly. Definately a much better value for your $$ then most of the sushi places in town.
I was brought here by a relative and loved it but I have been bummed out that every time I try to go back the line is out the door! This is a good thing for them, but not for me when I'm starving. Sushi Mon, If you read this, GET A BIGGER RESTURANT so I can eat too!!!
FYI, door opens at 5pm, be sure to get there early. $25 for all you eat (1 hour limit)
had lunch here. beef teriyaki plate.
wasn't bad. beef was kinda tough. but the sushi was good.
little side plates were good too. haven't tried the all you can eat sushi.
but i assume it's not too bad. 20-25/person for AYCES.
My coworkers and I frequent this fine establishment at least once a week. The lunch time hours are usually very busy, but the numerous sushi chefs crank out the rolls as fast as you can order them. The volcano roll is one of my favorites, but I haven't had a bad roll from this place. The staff is very friendly and extremely attentive.
Craving sushi, but wanting to be off the strip, I was referred to Sushi Mon by a resident of Vegas.
My dining companion asked if this restaurant had a time limit on how long you could eat there and I looked at her like she was insane. Well, she was correct to ask as there was a time limit on the All-You-Can-Eat Sushi option. (I had yet to have ever experienced an All You Can Eat place that had restrictions on time, and this apparently was going to be my first. Were they going to be put a timer on the table?)
Their menu selection is quite large and ranges from appetizers, to nigiri, to dessert even! There are a few items that you are limited to (2 per person) and there were out of a few 'hot' items on a Saturday night. We were told there might be a wait, but there actually was none. We sat at the sushi bar so we could order directly from the sushi chefs. Quite a few other patrons and the sushi chefs commented on how surprisingly slow it was that evening. Despite the slow night, the chefs were too busy watching TV to pay much attention to the customers and we felt like we had to wave them down to get their attention.
The food was okay - there were some good rolls and some alright items. I recall not wanting to finish some cooked fish appetizer I ordered. It wasn't all that great. The spicy tuna roll wasn't up to par with what I had in mind.
Service was okay. I think one of the waitresses didn't understand English very well, so she had to get her colleague to help us out a lot. We were a little offended when we ordered our dessert and they returned with the check as well. (Uh, we weren't done yet, and our hour wasn't up yet either.)
Overall, I felt rushed watching my 'hour' time limit. I think we paid about $25 each for this All You Can Eat but figured it was a good deal. After all, once you order a couple of rolls and nigiri, you've spent that much money already. If All You Can Eat Sushi is what you want, Sushi Mon will give that to you. And with the various choices from hot and cold items, it gives you a bigger range to choose from.
Can't beat mochi and/or ice cream for dessert either!
It also says on their website that they are open until 2 am! Wow.
Side note: They also have a frequent eater card. We like places that offer frequent eater cards. Be sure to get yours!
Update! 11/05/07 - Went back last night, and dinner is now $25.95. Limited items on the all-you-can-eat is the Toro, Amaebi, Uni, Baked Oyster, and Sake Shooter. They only have two ice cream flavors - Green Tea and something else, and only Strawberry Mochi. The BF and the brother loved the Baked Mussels. They also offer amaebi head soup, which is a nice twist. Nigiri was pretty good with good slices of fish and small amounts of rice. We definitely appreciate they aren't trying to stuff us with the rice!
Sidenote: They don't take reservations!
Finally had an opportunity to come down and see what all the flag-waving was all about. Came in to a packed room, shot a quick GPS-ish "hey guess where I'm at, finally" message to Jen K, and got a one-word reply: HAMACHI. Good looking out, buddy. From the sheer amount of menu items, I knew this was gonna have to be a strictly disciplined activity. No fucking about and getting gaijin rolls and teriyaki chicken appetizers. I followed the good advice given by sensei and immediately took down two Hamachi intruders, followed by a Toro bitchslap and 911 pounding. Even if it was just 2pm, I already was getting sauced by SAPPORO (big) and sake. I then hit up some Yellowtail action (forgot the name, by ordering up a crunchroll and throw in some "Yellowtail Action." I then opened it up by going for omakase, and the chef working our section gave the veteran's smile/nod, as he glanced skyward for strength before moving into the small kitchen area behind the ESPN-mime-TV with the saintly gait of Mother Teresa at an AVN convention.
One of the best times I have ever had at a sushi place. The alcoholic beverages negated whatever food allergies I may have had, and I was able to enjoy much drunken bowling later on that evening. Again, I salute you.
Oh, and despite our being there for a lot longer than 1 hour, they only charged my AYCE the 45-minute session fee. Not bad for a beginner.
So I have this thing about all you can eat sushi. Usually it's a buffet. But really I LIKE THIS PLACE. I've only gotten take out from my employees going there and I get a bento or something....But I just thought it was ok. Average Japanese sushi. When I ate there. different story. So sushi is like a big deal now. Kind of a trendy thing.
F*ck YOU all the kids in school that made fun of me for eating raw fish!!!!
Sorry I had to get that out. They don't only make the sushi in front of you and fresh. They put love in it. The all you can eat menu not only holds sushi. But teriyaki, sesame chicken, tempura, curry, SAKE, sunomono - and all kinds of different kinds of rolls! So if you go - add up all the sushi and food you're gonna eat and make sure it hits 25 dollars. Don't waste food. Cuz that sucks. Get a stamp card!
POSITIVE
nice decor
friendly staff
all you can eat
awesome "for two' specials
open til 1am!!!
NEGATIVE
across town
Sushi mon is the best! I knocked down one star since the two owners split and when they did, they decided to even split the menu! =(
For an all you and eat place, this place takes the prize! For a little less than $30, you get a wide variety of special rolls and sushi! The sushi is really fresh surprisingly for an all you can eat place!
Like every other sushi places, the waiters and chefs are always nice and friendly! The rolls that they have are really big! They also provide the option of getting half a roll if you don't want the whole one! When I say they have a wide variety, I really do mean they have a wide variety!!
They have mochi which is of course always great and they have friend tempura ice cream!
This place is a must go to place if you're in the area! It's not on or near the strip however, it's more of a local place!
I'm not a huge sushi fan.
SACRILEGE!
I'm just not. I have this weird fear of fish, live ones, and sashimi still scares me a bit because it's a little too close to the live fish state. It's an irrational fear and I can't explain it, but it exists. I like a lot of rolls, but I have a problem with nori, too. So when all my friends go to Sushi Mon for the All You Can Eat special, I totally get teriyaki chicken and shrimp and veggie tempura and it is GOOD. I'm pretty picky about my tempura, and theirs was great.
My friends always finish amazing amounts of sushi, and they bring it out pretty quickly. It tends to get really crowded and the tables feel a bit cramped, but that could just be your ever expanding waistline as you consume mass amounts of food.
Try it out. It ain't bad at all.
I'm sorry, but this place fucking sucked. We drove nearly 45 minutes off the strip to get there, and it was a disappointment to say the least, considering how much everyone hyped it up. It was basically full when we arrived, but there were five seats open at the bar. We stood around for five minutes with no host or hostess telling us whether or not we could sit down or not, and it was only after we flagged down a busboy that we were told we could have a seat.
We all ordered the all-you-can-eat lunch, and proceeded to put in our orders. For appetizers I ordered a green salad (completely drenched in dressing with mushy tomatoes), the fried calamari (it came out square-shaped and tasted like fish cake?) and the mussels, which was the only edible selection of the lot.
For sushi, we ordered plenty of nigiri and some rolls as well. The pieces of fish for the nigiri weren't especially big or tasty, and definitely wasn't on par with other sushi places I've been to. I was especially disappointed with the rolls - while there was no dearth in selection, most of the menu items seemed the same with only minor changes in the ingredients, and the ones that we did get just weren't appetizing at all - we ended up having leftover pieces of some of the rolls we ordered with no one stepping up to finish it, not because we were full but because they just tasted gross. Overall, just boring, unremarkable flavors that weren't appetizing at all. At the end, I was so put off by the sushi selection that I had to go back and order the mussels in order to try and fill myself up (which still didn't end up happening).
Save yourself the drive off the strip and take a pass on this place.
best all you can eat sushi in vegas. end of story.
i suggest going in for lunch since you'll get your monies worth.
here's a hint to ordering: don't order rolls!
i know it's tempting, but it's all rice! why would you pay over $20 to get full off of rice?! be smart!!
order the expensive sushi. ask the chef what their special is for the day.
there's nothing more to it. good sushi. good price.
AND extra points for buy 10 all-you-can-eat sushi and get one free.
that's a FREE $27 dinner!!!!! it doesn't get any better then that!
Love it love it love it!!! One of the only places that has the All YOu Can eat Option and In addition allow you to eat at the same time spider roll and dynamite roll!! Ive been to a lot of all you can eat places.. and none of them allow you to get the fat toro or the expensive dishes.. so what does this mean??
You get good value for your buck..
If you want to enjoy.. come here.. its in Vegas.. and let me tell you .. it was hard finding good japanese restaurants in vegas!
Also the food is quite fresh!!
I've eaten here ten times now over a period of six months and have had a great experience each time. About 26 bucks for custom made all you can eat sushi. I start with nigiri salmon, yellowtail, toro, maguro and anything else that looks good, so I know the fish going in the rolls is good. The New York girl in Las Vegas roll is unique. the 911 roll is spicy good. The Spider roll is average, the Spicy Tuna roll is above average. Fresh and clean and no fish odor, the way good sushi should be. And steady quality. there is a long wait during dinner usually.
Sushi Mon is a great little place about 20 minutes away from the strip if you're looking for an all you can eat sushi paradise. My friends and I came here after a full day of cruising the strip and felt like gorging ourselves with some good sushi. The decor is about average for a small sushi place. The service was great as we had what felt like 3 servers going in and out of our table. About half of our group ordered all you can eat and the rest ordered a la carte. Their list of rolls is probably the most expansive I've seen so far. Since i got the all you can eat I ordered a couple rolls to start off with before a server let me know that I can order half rolls.
Being able to order half rolls in an all you can sushi place is like the invention of sliced bread for a bakery; it was astonishing how much more of the menu I tried just because of the ability to order most things at half portions. Most of the rolls were great and some were just too weird for my taste buds. Another plus to the menu was the choice of dessert that comes with the all you can eat order. Maybe I haven't been to enough sushi places but most that I know do not include desserts in their orders. All in all, I had about 5 half rolls, 3 full rolls ( I can't remember what they were though...) and some mochi ice cream for good measure. I came out of the place waddling like a penguin due to the food knocking my center of gravity out of whack. Overall, 5 stars for the great service, good food, half order ability and dessert offerings. Sushi Mon is a GREAT restaurant outside the strip that sushi/roll lovers should check out when visiting Las Vegas.
