Ono Sushi — Restaurant in Winchester

Stopped by here with my partner while we were visiting Vegas as we wanted to try one of the many all-you-can-eat sushi places we saw. All the ones we looked at seemed very similar (90 minute time limit, about $35 per person, certain dishes are one time only per person).

The atmosphere of this place was nice, and the food was tasty. That being said, I would rate it around 3.5 stars only because the slow service had us waiting without food multiple times, which kinda felt bad when we spent almost $100 for two people. You can only order one thing at a time and each order is just a single thing, sometimes with just one or two pieces, and then even after you eat your one item you have to just wait until you get service to order something else. Would be way nicer to have something where you could at least order some choices ahead of time to not be sitting waiting hungry.

For example, we ordered the pork belly tacos & stuffed mushrooms (one choice each). We waited almost 15 minutes and then got two small plates: one with two small mushrooms and the other with two small pork belly tacos. They were pretty tasty, but we finished both plates in about 4-5 minutes tops. Then we had to wait another 10-15 minutes until the waiter came by to take our order for the next choice. We were like almost a third into the "90 minute time limit" and had only had one choice each! Even if you stay all 90 minutes, you'll only get maybe 4-5 choices each max with the service we got. Maybe they make it this slow intentionally so you can't eat all the expensive items, but we were just mostly ordering the simpler things (crunchy roll, Philadelphia roll, etc) so it's not like they were slow because we were getting sashimi or anything. I saw another review say they got 15 items, I have absolutely no idea how that is possible in the 90 minutes they give you, it took almost 30 minutes just to get our first pick (an appetizer).

After over an hour, we had only 3 picks each, and that was with flagging the server down to order quicker. If the service was better, would probably rate this place about 5 stars. The weird part is that they didn't even seem terribly busy, just one other couple was eating along with one group (about 8-9 people I believe). The large group seemed to get way, way more service and were getting trays of sushi every 10-15 minutes, so maybe going with a group is...

Visiting from Reno. This place was pleasantly empty on the eve before Thanksgiving. The decor/atmosphere is somewhere in between a counter service restaurant and an upscale restaurant. The sushi bar itself is very minimal and barely could be called that. It features very limited seating with a very narrow countertop split to just a couple seats split between sitting in front of each of the two refrigerators.

The service was friendly and very prompt for AYCE but our party of 4 and a party of 6 were the only ones in the place so YMMV.

The menu is LARGE and varied. Excellent roll menu even though I only eat nigiri. Large appetizer menu with menu choices including pork belly.

Fish quality was what I term 'standard' which is typical of all well-rated AYCE places. Nothing spectacular like you would get at a place 3 times the price of course. But you can get one order or one piece of several high-end choices most AYCE places I've been to don't even offer like Uni, Sweet Shrimp, and a few others.

Rice is seasoned well. A lot of AYCE places overseason like the AYCE buggets oversalt or add MSG. They do normal seasoning. The cuts of fish on the Nigiri were thin, narrow, and long so they draped onto the serving plate. So average amount of fish since even though it was very thin it was longer than normal. Not quite as satisfying of a bite as with a more typical thicker and wider cut but shorter (for me at least) but still very good.

Price is typical (low $30's for dinner) and of course a lot better deal than eating on the strip. I can see how it gets 5 stars as you can't do much better for an AYCE place.

They could use a bit of a refresh/upgrade of the interior decor though. This would only be a special occasion dining destination if the guest of honor doesn't care about having an upscale atmosphere.

Close to knocking a star off for atmosphere but for an AYCE Strip Mall joint...

The restaurant was empty when we got there at 730 pm when I usually use to seeing a pretty packed place around that time even earlier but this was one of the AYCE places we haven’t been yet in highsight probably never should of went for a reason after eating at about 20 plus AYCE SUSHI places I have to say this was horrible I’ve eaten at gorilla sushi - AYCE SUSHI & ASIAN FUSION - Yama sushi - sushi and oyster bar - Sakana - Neko sushi - blue fin - samiura - it’s sushi - kaizen - makino - biwon and soooo many more never had an issue what really got me is they tried to cover what was wrong instead apologizing and know they what was wrong at hand they continued to make excuses I’m was willing to pay if the food is bad or good either way some food was really and the oysters was good to but the uni was not good uni is usually orange or yellow never seen gray uni was sour tasted old the waitress ANGEL stated that they are not busy so stuff goes bad and the quall egg is on the menu for AYCE but they charge extra just for the quill egg i was okay with that and ordered it and just kept eating I get my dessert with was a honey toast which should be bread but I got vanilla ice and a piece of ROLL I took a bite the I went in for another and saw MOLD on the roll I ran to the bathroom and throw up I told the waitress and she said it was burnt how does a roll get burnt inside and anything I’ve ever seen burnt was brown or black not green I advise for anyone seeing this to visit any of the other places the best one is AYCE SUSHI & ASIAN FUSION same price and very fresh sadly I would of never given a 1 star review if they didn’t make excuses for their mistakes and the service trying to lie about it just made it worse when it’s right in their face MOLD take your chances...
