Sandai Sushi

Great selection of sushi rolls with spicy Korean dishes! Also Chinese entrees available. Great for large parties because there are many choices. Kimchis are no use made and delicious. Atmosphere and service is excellent. Owner works days and is soooo nice.

Just received delivery and and it was horrible! Eggs rolls and tempura were burnt, salmon was dried out and no flavor. Crunchy roll avocado was brown and everything was cold. For $ 43.00 I was very displeased! Don’t waste your time or money!!!

I seriously don’t understand people who gives 5stars to them. This restaurant is dirty as hell. They re-​use all the side dishes. If customer left side dishes, they bring inside and reuse.
I ordered spicy seafood soup. But I found 3 rubberbands from the soup. When I complain, the owner came to me and said ”this rubber bands are from lobster. Have u cook lobster? Then u will know it” …Ugh.what? What does he just said? Have you guys imagine blue rubber bands are in your soup. Thats really disgusting… You better apologizes to customer first. Well I heard many disgusting stuffs about this restaurant but I will keep it for their business and watching they’re going to change or not. At the end, I want to say this to the owner. Please dont play with the foods. PLEASE.!!

Atmosphere and good quality was great! Nice n very authentic inside. On the Outside you would never have guess it looks very culture inside. I think this place has by far a the fish. Everyone is so friendly there. First timer here n I was impress. Did the all you can eat sushi. They been there for 11 yrs and I been here in Vegas for 14 yrs! Ppl need to now about this place. I can honestly say one of the top 5 for me.
Not sure who wrote this comment above, but I did not. Never been here. Disregard this post.

Love AYCE!!!

i went Sandai last weekend
there owner was changed and they have a New Menu now
Like a New Restaurant!
they started All you can eat Sushi.
Lunch All you can eat is Only $ 19.95
and Dinner is $ 24.95

I am sad to report the reviews are true. I am giving 2 stars for the sushi chef. He was very friendly. That is about the only good thing I can say about this place.
I ordered the AYCE sushi, reasonably priced at $ 20.95 for lunch. The rolls were horrible! The quality of fish was bad and they tried to cover it up with sauces but lo and behold the sauces were also horrible! I ordered 3 rolls, unfortunately the only one I remember the name of is the Japanese Lasagna. This is my guilty pleasure roll that I always order at any sushi place I dine at. It is a baked California roll with cream cheese on top, and eel sauce drizzled over the top. It is usually my favorite roll. Here, it was my least favorite. The roll was not baked, the cream cheese was cold, and I definitely wasn’t eating a California roll. I paid and left, with a vow never to return. Later that night, I felt nausea and threw up the whole meal. I can’t say for sure I got sick from Sandai, I just think the food was so gross that my body was rejecting it. They do have other items besides sushi that may appeal to some. But do yourself a favor and do not eat the sushi here.

I’ve eaten many times at Sandai. It’s not the best Korean/​Sushi restaurant but as an Korean-​American, like to support many local Korean business owners. My last visit was about 2 weeks ago with my youngest daughter & my boyfriend. She wanted the variety of sushi & my b f & I wanted Korean Soondoobu soup, bibimpop & Galbi short ribs. As usual one server, owner’s wife cooking & her husband finished eating & helping here & there w cleaning tables. The wait to order was slow but we were ok w the server cause she had waited on me many times before. Variety sushi came out first, bibimpop, soup & ribs. In between I had asked for more of banchan (Korean side dishes) such as more bean sprouts, Kimchee twice. Keep in mind they are served in a small bowls. Then we decide to order an item, Korean vegtls pancake. Cause it’s a last minute order, the server said it would be a while cause they are also busy w a large party in the corner of 8−10people. Ok «no problem» I told her, since we ordered so much to eat. So when we got the vegtl pancake, it was like a large size of pizza, literally! & under cooked. But I didn’t say anything nor sent it back cause it’s a Korean restaurant & out of respect!
So to eat vegtl pancakes, I asked for more Kimchee /​side dish. The owner, husband said to me «where are you from, around here? «in Korean to me, so I reply «here in Vegas». Then he said to me «you guys eat too much Kimchee» as he was bringing us a small bowl of Kimchee with a mad face & very rude. I was so embarrassed in front of my daughter & my b f, who is non Korean. After we paid a check for over $ 95 plus a generous tip for the server. I have decide to NEVER go back AGAIN!!! The owner (husband) so rude, arrogant & doesn’t appreciate local support at all! I gathered that restaurant is doing somewhat well from non Korean customers as well as some other Korean customers. He’s made his money & doesn’t realize his restaurant isn’t that good. I’ll not support his restaurant again. My large family & friends are definitely BOYSCOTTING Sandai. Our family have been in Las Vegas since 1978 – 79, know our Korean food. WiILL NOT put up with Sandai dirtiness, slow service & rudeness by the OWNERS anymore!

What a terrible service! Do not waste your money here. Their food is not that great either. So we gave them 15% tip. The manager told us that we should give more than 15% when we were walking out from the restaurant. He said that its an etiquette. We were stunned that he even said that and what’s more shocking was when we said you shouldn’t treat your customers this way and he said so what. OMG. What a place. I do not recommend this place!!! The don’t even deserve one star!

I always come here for the Korean cold buckwheat noodles! They have amazing korean food. Some plates are kind of pricey but the quality is great!

If you don’t mind waiting a ½ hour for a mediocre teriyaki chicken plate then this is the place for You! This would have got 1 star but I gave it 2 because the waiter was nice.

Sandai sushi is a really goid place to go in vegas for traditional Korean style food. It is a small but well worth it’s price restaurant. Pay no mind to most of the negative feedback those who usually leave them. Have no clue about how Korean food should taste. It’s nearly impossible to find good Korean food in Vegas. By the way sushi is notkKorean food so I don’t recommend getting it here it is the only thing you should stay away from. My point, If you like real Korean food (it’s usually spicy) than you should try here at least once. Besides most Korean celebritys cant be wrong. Ps the owner is a sweet heart.

Just had a bad experience dining here tonight. I ordered a spicy beef soup that I usually order everywhere. This one came out way to spicy where the insides of my ears were sweating, no joke! We told the owner how it was extremely spicy and he pretty much stated we need to them next time to make it less spicy. We told him we order this dish at many restaurants and this one is extreme. There was no apology and it was pretty much out fault. Overall, they are right and we were in the wrong. Left the restaurant with the thought «never returning here» based on the service.

Do your research people. We saw an ad for this korean restaurant (free shuttle from the Vegas strip) on the Korean newspaper. Little did we know (as tourists) it was a booby trap!
We got picked up in a nice van, the driver bashed other restaurants near the strip and praised this restaurant as quote «nothing comparable.» He was trying to sell us hotel deals, show tickets, and tours within in 20 – 30 min ride… #buzzkillwejustwanttoeat!
It turned out the guy was a bitter tour agent, constantly shit-​talking about his competitors who are «scumbags without a green card doing business.» We arrived to the vacant sandai restaurant (Saturday night– prime time) and the driver headed straight to the back of the restaurant. Turned out he was the restaurant owner’s husband pretending to have no association with the restaurant.
Food, since that’s where this matters.
Restaurant quality? Poor.
Restaurant price? Yes. Pretty high for a home-​cooked quality food.
Customer service? Nonexistent.
* (side dishes)? Disappointing:(
Would not recommend.

Amazing Sushi! Small town atmosphere ! Service is really good and the people are very nice!

This is a Japanese/​Korean Restaurant. If you don’t ask for the Korean Menu, you will not get it. The waitress seemed ditzy and when I asked for Grilled Mackerel, she ordered up maguro. I asked the owner and she got it for me.
The food was served quickly, but compared to Soyo’s grilled mackerel, this place did not as cook the fish well enough and it was too salty.
I had to ask for water a couple times.
My daughter got the short ribs and it was okay as well. I don’t think we will go here again.

I think this place is trying to make itself seem ‘popular’ or attract tourists (especially from Asia) by relying on the fact that many celebrities (including Korean-​Japanese UFC fighter Sung Hoon Chu or Yoshihiro Akiyama) came to eat here during their stay in Vegas.
You can see that from the many pictures of the owner with the celebrities posted on the wall of the restaurant. The pictures can get annoying are there are just too many pictures it can really drive you crazy. Restaurant itself is ok, there’s not really a «vibe» of either a Korean or Japanese restaurant, more like something in between.
Food is average. My Agu-​jjim (braised spicy angler fish) didn’t have much meat in them and Ganjang-​gyejang (Soy sauce Crab) was wayy too salty. Their Galbi is pretty good but small and overpriced. Not really my type of place, we just came here because of our Fob manager who wanted to eat «Korean» food every day during our stay in Vegas…*sighs*

When you first walk into Sandai you cant help to look around and see all the for lack of better words different art work and pictures of there staff and famous people. Then when you look deeper you see enlarged images of some of there plates. If your like me some may scare you off and others may make you hungry! It has a small dinning area that if it was busy it may feel uncomfortable and may make it a hard place to have a group go, but all in all its not terrible!
I ordered the terriki bowl since I was on my lunch break and didn’t have time to really dig into some sushi. The service was not the best but there dish was tasty. The portion for the price was a little pricey but I was full and the food was good. I also ordered there egg rolls. I must say, those were some of the best egg rolls I have had and would be worth going back for more if they were not so expensive.
All in all I would eat here again and would like to try there sushi, but I will not go out of my way to eat here.

OK so I made a mistake… tried a new place prior to checking out Unilocal!!!
Reason being as we knew there was a sushi place around the corner from our house however could not think of the name nor locate it on google. So we said what the hell, we are here let’s check it out.
When we walked in the place was empty, we were the only customer. Hmmmm? OK so was around two o clock so maybe the lunch rush had passed?
First time dining here so I ask which is your top seller boba tea since they have a variety of flavors of boba smoothie and teas. Her response was «No «No» you order what you like???
Are you freaking kidding me? Wow…
I ordered the crunch shrimp tempura roll, crab, avocado, shrimp tempura, cucumber. I asked that they leave out the cucumber.
What a disappointment, the amount of crab was almost non existent, did not taste or see any avocado, tasted like a plain white rice roll with crunchy flakes. No flavor and they were skimpy with the eel sauce which would have helped with flavor if I could have dunked it in some.
I also ordered a strawberry splash smoothie boba, this was good!
It was not a comfortable experience, we were the only customer and the two ladies working sat at a table staring at us the whole time. It was ridiculous! Beyond insane staring! Have no clue why either? Almost to the point of being offensive. I am a customer not a criminal, no need to stare me down every bite, every sip. Maybe they made a bet on which one of us would throw up the nasty specialty roll they call sushi first? lol
No sushi chef on duty, was a server lady and a lady that took forever making our two rolls.
This place is bad in many ways! The only savior is the boba smoothie was good. That alone is not enough to ever get me to come back.
The bad:
Service
Food
Quality
Portion
Offensive staring from staff while dining.
The good:
Boba Smoothie
We could not wait to check the Unilocal rating and knew it would not be good after we experienced what we did dining here.
Never…Never…Never again!!!
Please do not waste your time or money here, I speak the truth with no exaggeration. It is truly horrid!
Pictures of our visit are attached, notice the smiles are prior to taking a bite. Looks ok, but taste bad.
I will go without sex before I eat here again!!!
