Ari Sushi & Izakaya

Tucked away on Rainbow Boulevard, Ari Sushi & Izakaya offers Las Vegas diners an authentic Japanese experience far from the glitz of the Strip.

The restaurant has quickly earned a devoted following among locals who appreciate quality Japanese cuisine without the tourist markup.

The interior strikes a balance between modern design and traditional Japanese elements, featuring clean lines, warm wood accents, and intimate lighting that creates a welcoming atmosphere. The sushi bar offers front-row seats to watch the skilled chefs at work, while comfortable tables accommodate groups looking to share multiple dishes and catch up over drinks.
