best all u can eat if you don't like bar chatter

Great selection, no option to make anything custom. Have that great sushi pig out without listening to sushi chef chatter or charm. If that's what you are looking for...Makino's (either location) is the place for you.

GO FOR LUNCH, stay for dinner

by rdulee at Citysearch

Well, actually lunch is all you need. This is the best sushi buffet you will ever visit. The place is clean, the decor has nice lines, it is hectic. The price is right. The sushi is fresh and varied. The salads are crisp and sauces sharp. The very nature of a buffet degrades the quality of the food IMO. The question is how much. At Machino's the amswer is very little. The sushi moves at this place (ok, not literally). The chefs are constantly preparing and serving it and there are usually 7 or 8 at work. When I am in LV I eat everyother lunch at Machino's. It's the only thing I enjoy more than Poker.

• Pros: Fresh, real sushi
• Cons: It's hectic, it's a buffet.

Definitely worth the price

by bigindo at Citysearch

I've been to several sushi buffets and this is definitely one of the best...great sushi selections... tempura is always full of shrimps..not just vegetables....and everything is fresh... and they have good selections of cooked foods too for those of you who don't lke raw foods. and the last time i was there..they had a chocolate fountaine...great for the ladies who would rather eat desserts than anything else...

• Pros: great selections of foods
• Cons: location is off the strip..taxi is a bit hard to find

Great Japanese Buffet Alternative

by b00pi3flak3s at Citysearch

Todai never looked this good, but then again, the prices are the same, the food is practically the same so it may as well be the same. Vegas style buffets are huge, but Makino's keeps the overeating Japanese food lover in shape, which is fat and happy. Stay real hungry before you decide to make it this big sushi feast.

• Pros: Food, Variety, Service
• Cons: Bathrooms, Price

More sushi for your money

by gidget00mcleod at Citysearch

Las Vegas being overly saturated with Buffet's, Makino's is a refreshing change. There are two locations, both I have found to be consistent in sushi preparation and freshness. For newbie sushi lovers, you can try a whole new array of tastes and combinations without having to order a whole roll. Large array of seafood salads, tempura, miso soup, terriaki meats, rice and wonderful desserts. Try the shaved ice with condensed milk and the sweet red bean paste! Sounds strange but so yummy and authentic. Taking out of town family there, they were amazed/stunned at how the whole place functions, but believed the sushi was of top quality. The waitresses are sweet yet very busy at times. Go for luch, basically same foods yet at a smaller price. For around $20, you can eat what would normally cost you $45. Try it at least once!

• Pros: Value, Quick Lunch, Quality
• Cons: Quick Service
