How to choose a Japanese restaurant

  1. Match the menu to the mealAsk whether your group wants sushi and sashimi, katsu, yakitori, ramen, teppanyaki or several small plates before selecting a restaurant.
  2. Check the dining formatCompare counter, bar, table, open-kitchen, tatami and teppanyaki seating against the atmosphere and interaction your occasion requires.
  3. Plan for group sizeAsk about reservations, event hosting, private rooms and seating limits, especially for lively izakaya venues with limited space.
  4. Confirm late-night timingIf dinner follows a show or nightlife, verify the kitchen and last-seating time rather than relying only on a restaurant’s general closing hour.
  5. Separate local and resort diningDecide whether an off-Strip destination such as Sen of Japan or a resort setting such as SUSHISAMBA better fits your route and occasion.
