Las Vegas Japanese BBQ Samurai 🥩 Highly Recommended!

Went to Vegas for JJ Lin’s concert and finally tried this Japanese BBQ spot that’s been sitting in my bookmarks for ages—and it’s a full 10/10 recommendation!!! 🎌✨ The food had zero misses—the meat was incredibly fresh and juicy! The only downside was the service, which wasn’t the best. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and there was only one server for the whole restaurant… so responses were slow. But the food totally outweighed that—so next time I’m in Vegas, I’ll definitely be back! 😋 📍 Address: 3650 S Decatur Blvd, Ste 26, Las Vegas, NV 89103 🍖 What We Ordered: 1️⃣ 8 Kinds Premium Meat Boat 🚢 A literal “boat” full of meat! This is their most popular item—perfect for first-timers unsure what to order. The boat comes in 2-/3-/4-person sizes. All 8 types of meat were excellent—no marination, so you really taste the quality. No disappointments here! 2️⃣ Sea Urchin with Short Rib Beef tartare wrapped around uni. The beef was great, but the uni quality was just okay (it’s not a seafood-specialty shop after all). Still worth a try if you enjoy raw beef! 3️⃣ Thick Cut Tongue ❤️ My absolute favorite!!! Probably the best thick-cut beef tongue I’ve had in the US. A must-order for tongue lovers—juicy, tender, crispy-edged, and so flavorful! We loved it so much we ordered an extra serving after trying it in the meat boat. 4️⃣ A5 Wagyu Sampler Includes 3 pieces of A5 Wagyu. The menu says you can choose from 5 types, but they told us the day’s selection was pre-set… Still, the marbling was incredible, freshness was visible, and it literally melted in the mouth! Price matches the quality—highly recommend! 5️⃣ Beef Grilled Bibimbap A tasty grilled meat rice bowl mixed tableside by the server. A solid choice if you want something more filling! 📌 Important Notes: Reservations are a must! They don’t accept walk-ins on weekends. Book early—the restaurant is small and seems to have limited staff, so spots fill quickly. They actually overbooked on our original date (even though we reserved two weeks ahead) and called to reschedule us… 😅 Prices seem to rise every few months, so Yelp listings may not reflect current pricing. Overall, amazing value for the quality—just be prepared for possible service delays and plan ahead! #WeekendPlans #LasVegas #JapaneseBBQ #Wagyu #FoodieReview #VegasEats #MeatLovers
