If you haven’t checked out the restaurant scene in downtown Las Vegas in a while, you’re definitely missing out. It’s time to make your way to Fremont Street for a dining refresh—especially for sushi.
Got a hankering for some sushi in downtown Las Vegas? Here are our top picks to add to your favorite Las Vegas restaurants list.
1. Red Asian Cuisine at Golden Nugget
129 E. Fremont St.
Main Floor at Golden Nugget
Las Vegas, NV 89101
While the Golden Nugget is well known for its award-winning pool that features a 200,000 shark tank and aquarium slide, don’t underestimate the dining options at this downtown casino. For example, Red Asian Cuisine is one of the best places to get fresh fish and tasty sushi rolls in Sin City. Conveniently located on the main floor of Golden Nugget, it’s the perfect place to stop for a quick bite and excellent service.
Outside of some of our sushi roll favorites, including the Firecracker Roll and Hamachi Jalapeno Roll, Red also offers an epic happy hour from 4:00pm to 6:00pm every day! You can get discounts on select rolls, appetizers, beer, and sake. Then, after your amazing meal, you’re just steps away from the heart of Fremont Street, where all the action happens.
Our Recommendation: Try the Red Shiso Roll and Saketini for a crisp and refreshing addition to your meal.

Honorable Mention: Triple 7 Restaurant at Main Street Station

Although Triple 7 at Main Street Station isn’t exactly a sushi restaurant, we had to include an honorable mention for its killer poke menu options. What is poke? Poke is a Native Hawaiian dish made of diced raw fish, commonly Ahi tuna. The fish is then served over rice or with vegetables and covered in a tangy soy sauce-based marinade.
So, now that you know what poke is, let’s get to their poke menu. You have your choice of spicy ahi or an ahi poke bowl for something more traditional. Otherwise, you can go with a more playful option, such as poke nachos! We promise it will be packed with the best poke flavors no matter what you decide.
Our Recommendation: We know ahi is the standard for poke, but we suggest branching out with the surimi crab poke or sesame tako (octopus) poke.

Outside of sushi restaurants in Vegas, there are several sushi food trucks that travel around Southern Nevada, often visiting downtown Las Vegas. Here are some to look for when you’re in town:
