I was first introduced to Shigotonin by my fellow Chefs at Bouchon. I had only just arrived in Las Vegas from NYC and they wanted to show me that Las Vegas too had good restaurants. But to take a New Yorker to a raw fish restaurant, in the desert and nonetheless, a Japanese restaurant that chooses to identify as a “Japanese tapas bar”. Needless to say, my expectations were low. A quick review of the website (I NEVER read online reviews), confirmed my initial thought and I arrived with low expectations.I was wrong. I was SO wrong.In a small parking lot area of Las Vegas’s Chinatown, sits a small Japanese tapas bar called Shigotonin, meaning person who does their job without mistakes , so accu...
This is the place in Vegas...The owners/ cheft are sooooo lovely and sweet, great humble people. So you can only imagine how great the food is too.Most of their stuff are imported from Japan, and you can tell by the taste. I can 't imagine any SUSHI LOVER having a bad experience here. This will be my go-to spot whenever I am in Vagas. Well worth it, and the price was way better than most, especially for the quality of sushi and the amount as well. This spot is a win-win. Everything that I tried was a *10. It 's a lot of food.For something like this meal, you can easily spend $500 and still feel hungry. We both ate and were so full for less than half that amount. The food was sooo good. I cou...
The food was fantastic, and the service was even better! The owner personally visited our table, provided us with a business card, and showed us pictures of the special menu items to complement the menu board. He was incredibly friendly, took photos with us, and shared his background as a chef from Japan, now in Hawaii. He also mentioned that the sashimi was freshly imported from Japan today, making it exceptionally fresh. It was truly an experience we can't wait to repeat!
This is my #1 favorite Japanese in Vegas. I’ve tried soooo many Japanese restaurants in Vegas. Rhe chef always ensure every customers are served properly and in a friendly manner. Very great customer services. Fishes always fresh. Always got churoto sakura box, uni pasta, salmon belly hand roll, and grilled squid. Very fresh and flavorful. I guarantee that this is the freshest one you ever find here. I’ve been to many fine dining, yet not many have this quality.

Amazing sushi that is reminiscent of my time in Tokyo. The quality of the food is amazing, staff is super attentive, and the owner comes around and explains in detail of all the specials. Highly, highly recommend the uni pasta! Was so rich, umami, anddecadent. I will be dreaming of that dish for many days. This place rivals any Michelin star sushi restaurant such as Nobu. Thisis definitely worth a visit!!
Every detail was flawless during our visit. The staff was exceptionally friendly and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu. The food was incredibly fresh; in fact, everything we tried was one of the best versions of those dishes we've ever had. The uni pasta was simply perfection. It's rare for a restaurant to achieve this level of excellence across all its dishes. I highly recommend this place!
I just enjoyed one of the best meals of my life! The quality and presentation of the food are impeccable, and the prices are quite reasonable for what you receive. If you're thinking twice about visiting this restaurant, don't hesitate—just go! This meal will be the best you've had (and I'm saying this as someone who has traveled to over 30 countries and tasted dishes from around the globe).
One of THE most memorable meals of a lifetime @shigotoninsp #oyshi The owner greeted us as he showed his superb assortment of seafood from Japan and unique dishes, including the uni pasta. Wide selection of sake. Amazing meal from start to end withsuper-friendly service! Rivals the best meals I?ve had in Tokyo. Worth taking a trip off the Strip!!

Delicious, fresh fish! The owner was very friendly and showed us the menu with pictures. I decided to try the Chutoro Sakura Box, and it included a generous amount of fish! Absolutely worth the price. I'll definitely be returning!
Our new favorite spot in Vegas! Two words Uni pasta.
