Yui Edomae Sushi is an omakase counter run in the strict Edo-style tradition — nigiri formed by hand at the bar, fish aged and prepared using the techniques developed in 19th-century Tokyo, served at whatever pace the chef sets. In Las Vegas, this kind of restaurant usually lives behind a casino; Yui operates out of Chinatown at a fraction of the Strip prices for equivalent quality.
The counter seats a handful of diners per seating; courses run through seasonal fish, some aged, some marinated, some dressed with a brush of soy and a touch of wasabi applied by the chef. Reservations are required and book out weeks in advance. The best pure sushi experience in Las Vegas for people who know what to look for.
