| - Caution: This review will probably make every Yelp reader roll their eyes because I may sound like I'm just gushing here with my superlatives, but you guys just don't know how ecstatic I am to have found this place.
It helped that I called in for same day reservation, walked in at 9:30 pm as the last customers were leaving, and my husband and I had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We usually don't order omakase and prefer to order a-la-carte, but it's hard to pass up the $48 nigiri course for the value it offers (includes sake, appetizer, 10-12 pcs of nigiri, a negitoro handroll, & choice of dessert). We ordered a few additional nigiris and felt satiated. Next time, we'll stick to the nigiri course again and we might try their chirashi bowl.
I can't tell you what NOT to order because EVERYTHING was fantastic. I don't usually get impressed this often, but damn, all of their offerings were insanely delicious. The service was on point. We told the chef that we're fast eaters, and he just laughed and said "no worries". Timing was perfectly paced. And the details! I can't rave enough about the minimalist decor & all the subtleties to painstakingly create a true dining experience for its customers.
What Kabuto is: A small sushi establisment that highlights fish in their stripped down, most simplistic form. It is where you'll find sushi chefs who are proud of their craft. A true dream for nigiri purists living in Las Vegas.
