Reservations · Takeout
Vibrant Japanese–Peruvian–Brazilian fusion with standout sushi, robata, and cocktails in The Venetian; quality is strong but prices are high and service can be inconsistent at peak times.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
SUSHISAMBA earns a solid A- grade through exceptional food quality—particularly standout sea bass and fresh sushi—paired with strong service knowledge and vibrant setting appeal. However, inconsistent execution with occasional oversalting and service delays during peak hours prevent grade A territory. The fusion concept and lively bar scene deliver solid value for a Strip destination, though portions remain modest for the price point.
Restaurant Summary
Inside The Venetian, SUSHISAMBA buzzes with colorful, high-energy design and a bar that draws pre-show crowds. Servers often win shout-outs for being attentive and warm, and one diner noted the room felt "like friends all around." Do expect resort bustle at peak times. The cooking leans boldly Nikkei—Japanese technique with Brazilian and Peruvian accents—so you will see tiraditos, anticuchos, and showpiece sushi alongside wagyu on a hot stone. Fans rave about sea bass skewers and crisp squid; some find certain dishes a touch salty or sour. If you love creative fusion and a lively scene, this hits the spot. Families do fine here. One review even spotted a kids menu, and there are approachable options like chicken teriyaki, simple rolls, and edamame and rice. Portions trend shareable rather than huge, so plan a couple of items per child; adventurous palates will have the most fun.
