An Unforgettable Sushi Experience at Tekka Bar: Handroll & Sake

Tekka Bar is hands down one of the best sushi spots I’ve ever experienced—and trust me, I consider myself a sushi connoisseur. During my recent five-day trip to Las Vegas, I ate there every single day, sometimes even twice a day. Yes, it’s that good.

Their handrolls are nothing short of perfection. The King Crab Roll features real, succulent crab legs, while the Blue Crab Roll combines fresh crab with a mouthwatering sauce that’s simply addictive. And don’t even get me started on their Yellowtail Roll—it’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious and an absolute must-try. Every bite was an explosion of freshness and flavor, and the quality of the fish is truly exceptional.

If you plan to visit, make sure to arrive right when they open at 11 AM because the line forms quickly—and for good reason. If waiting isn’t your thing, you can also order to-go and enjoy your meal nearby, which I did several times since I already knew my favorites.

The atmosphere is intimate, the service is efficient, and every roll is crafted with precision. I genuinely wish they would open a Tekka Bar in Houston so I could satisfy my cravings without hopping on a plane. If you’re in Vegas and love sushi, Tekka Bar is non-negotiable—it’s an absolute must-visit and one of the most memorable dining experiences you’ll have...

The food is excellent—absolutely superb! The servers are amazing as well, especially the Filipino guy, who was very friendly and accommodating. However, I can’t give this place more than one star because of the rude treatment we received from the so-called “manager.”

My friends and I arrived early and were waiting for the restaurant to open. A staff member initially told us it was fine to sit on the chairs while waiting. However, this manager approached us and, instead of politely explaining the rules, rudely told us to move to the line because sitting there wasn’t allowed. She didn’t just stop at that—she rolled her eyes as if we were inconveniencing her.

I’ve never been treated with such a lack of respect. It wouldn’t have been an issue if she had kindly explained the policy, but her dismissive attitude and poor manners were completely unprofessional. As a manager, she should lead by example and set the standard for excellent customer service.

To the management: please provide your staff, especially your “manager,” with customer service training. It’s not just about the food—it’s about the entire experience. And frankly, her behavior ruined what could have been a fantastic visit.

For others, while the food and most of the staff were wonderful, be prepared for a potentially unpleasant interaction if you happen to cross paths with...
