Located just off the Strip, Makino is praised for its authentic Japanese flavors and attentive staff. This restaurant offers a sushi buffet with a variety of fresh rolls, sashimi, and standout items like seared salmon skin nigiri. Guests enjoy the crispy tempura and thoughtful touches like hot dipping sauce and personalized drink service. While some dishes like ramen could improve, Makino remains a go-to sushi spot in Las Vegas for those seeking quality and value in a relaxed setting.

a week agoI believe this is the last standing Makino AYCE restaurant in the west coast... This place used to be packed, only a few years back... I guess AYCE JAPANESE RESTAURANTS have lost a step or two within the last couple of years... Nevertheless, lunch on a Friday at 1pm, it was very slow... but the service was excellent! Food is still the same, nothing out of the ordinary. Hope they dont go under anytime soon.

2 weeks ago4.5 stars considering the good value and decent taste. Recommendation: Crab legs, LA Kalbi, and tempura shrimp, and rolls in general. They also have pretty good icecream for buffet (green tea, vanilla, mango, strawberry) but you have to ask them to scoop. While they have a lot of different sushi rolls and nigiri, the overall variety leaves a bit to be desired. But the quality is pretty good so you there will be something for you. I was fine with most of their dishes. Fish quality is good overall as well. Some items may be lukewarm, but they do make more time to time (at least for the tempura shrimp - even when there were a good amount left, they fried new ones out) so they tasted good. Weekday dinner $39.95 as of November 2025.

2 weeks agoFood was cold, got there at opening time for the dinner buffet. The heated buffet was cold as they hadn't turned them on in advance. Not worth the $50 a person price.
