- I'm going to Resorts World in this video to eat at Kusa Nori, the premier Japanese restaurant at the property. I haven't showcased a lot of Japanese food on the channel so I'm excited to show off some good eats!

Should I try the "butthole volcano" sushi roll? Would you try it?
Shin no save your butthole😂😂😂 you are too funny reading that section of the menu with genuine surprise and concern. Thanks for taking us along!
I just don’t see how you would be able to taste the fish with so much spice. UNLESS they somehow get rid of the seeds and blanch in multiple times in water to get rid of most spice and get the actual pepper flavor.
Nooooooo! Silly trotting out inedible items to fulfill some desire for notoriety. From your review of their dishes, they don't need that stunt. As always, great review.
in the mid 70s I had the 'butt burner' burrito from a truck in San Diego, I learned that lesson so....... NOPE !!
As long as you eat an ice cream cone for later
You do an amazing job describing each dish. The food looked impressive. Ty for the great review.
I appreciate that Laura, thank you! I had a really good time making this video. The food was excellent. Thanks for watching!
very fancy food there
Very upscale restaurant for sure. I even had to put on sleeves lol. Thanks for watching panjo!
THANKS SHIN, FOR SHARING ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK. THE FOOD LOOKS GOOD 😋👍🏼😁👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Tracey! This was a good one! I really enjoyed making this video. Thanks for watching!
I love how you always give an honest and balanced opinion of each dish. So many food vloggers seem overly complimentary or overly critical. Keep up the great work Shin!
I appreciate that! I do try and be as honest and balanced as possible with my food vlogs. Glad you like my style! Thanks for watching!
Another review well presented. Definitely a special occasion restaurant. But happy hour is reasonable. Keep up the excellent work.
The happy hour definitely helps with the price tag. I'd probably swing by for a $10 cocktail and some wagyu gyoza if I needed to take a break from the tables or slot machines. Thanks for watching!
“35$ for a butthole volcano in 12 hours” 🤣🤣🤣 I liked the omakase menu 😍 and special shares!!! Mmm wagyu gyoza 🤤 awesome you tried all the skewers 😍😍 looove that dessert 😍😍
LOL, I always fear the exit more than the entrance when it comes to ultra spicy foods. This was one of my favorite videos I've made this year. The food was so good and I loved the vibes at Kusa Nori. Thanks for watching Tiffany!
That sushi looks phenomenal!!
It was probably one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had to be completely honest with you. Thanks for watching!
The restaurant looks really nice. I like the Koi fish. I would like to try this place for happy hour. Nice video. Great review. Thanks and take care.
The happy hour is definitely the way to go. Thanks for watching Karen!
Hi Shin, I just came across your channel. I like your commentary of the dishes you tried. Food looks good.
Welcome to the channel Debbie! Happy to hear you enjoy the videos. Thank you very much for watching!
So glad you covered Kusa Nori. We've been twice, and LOVE it. The oysters are the best we've ever had. You do a great job and we enjoy your videos!!
Yes! I haven't done a lot of Japanese restaurants on the channel yet and Kusa Nori was one I've had my eye on for a while. I really enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
“So you’re paying 35 dollars for basically a butthole volcano. I don’t think I’m going to be doing that” 😂😂😂😂 had me ballin
Lmao! There's no other outcome after eating all that! Thanks for watching!
A little to expensive for me but it all looked good. Love to watch your food videos. Thanks so much. Getting close to 10K.
This one was very fun to make. I really enjoyed my meal. And yes, the channel is well on its way to 10k! Thanks for watching!
Damn Shin that looked amazing ! Outta my league for cost for Japanese food tho . Don’t know how you do it man . Thanks for sharing another great job well done !
Thank you Kyle! The channel generates enough for most of my videos now so I'm not spending much of my own money. I'm very thankful that I started CZcams because I get to experience so many foods I would have not tried before. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin that’s cool that you are making some extra cash . Would be fun to do what you do indeed . Instead I get to babysit grown tradesmen lol
"Butthole volcano" took me out. I burst out laughing. Omg. But I had the same thought. Menu looks great. Similar in price to most upscale restaurants here in Toronto too.
That was hilarious
Lmao, when it comes to beyond humanity spicy level foods, I always fear the exit more than the entrance. That aside, I had such a great meal for this video. Thanks for watching!
Very good review as always shin👍 everything really looks great🍽️
Thank you very much! I had a great time making this one!
@@VegaswithShin 🤗
Wow, what a beautiful restaurant and meal. Love the decor there and your review of the foods is wonderful. Once again Shin, I truly enjoyed watching. I would dive into those skewers and that steak. The dessert looked delicious!! Great job Shin!!
Had a really great time with this one! Thank you very much for watching!
Never saw this. It's now my favorite.
Haha, happy you liked it! Thanks Steve!
Thank you for another AWESOME food video!
It's totally my pleasure! I had a great time making this one. Thanks for watching!
I am going to taco bell to get a combo box for $5.
That's crazy. My local Vegas Taco Bell's cheapest combo box is $9.99. I guess everything is just more expensive here. Thanks for watching!
That Steak & Sea ELL looked Absolutely Amazing 👍✅
They were so good! Really enjoyed it here. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching all your restaurant reviews...love the place but the prices was just a tad too steep...all the food looked amazingly delicious...have a great week and weekend 😘🤗❤
Really appreciate you Jade! This one was a fun one to make. I really enjoyed my dinner here. Thanks for watching!
As you said, nobody is going to Kusanori or Nobu for value. This kind of place is a splurge, or for people who want the best and are willing to pay for it, like me. The quality is much better than the AYCE places, although when I went to Kusanori last year, I was not impressed and I haven’t been back. Thanks for your reviews of all types of restaurants. You’re great at this!
Vegas certainly caters to the affluent and spots like Nobu and Kusa Nori are exactly that. And as you say, plenty of folks are willing to pay a premium price for the best. I'm sorry to hear your experience was not as great at Kusa Nori. There's always Nobu here and I'm looking to try out Chef Morimoto's at MGM Grand as well for that elevated Japanese dining experience. Happy to hear you enjoyed the vlog though. Thanks for watching!
I like Morimoto more than Kusanori, and sometimes more than Nobu, too - in fact, I ate at Morimoto just last week. It is, however, incredibly expensive for sushi, which is pretty much all I eat there. Also, among the higher-end restaurants, consider Yellowtail at Bellagio (where I also ate recently). Not as expensive, but just as good. Can't wait to see where you go next!
I have watched several videos by Shin and it is just amazing to me how ridiculously overpriced the food on the strip has become. My last trip to Vegas we had almost every meal off strip, there are so many amazing local restaurants.
The strip is very expensive now no doubt and the quality of food off strip is getting better and better every day. As long as transportation isn't a hindrance, much better value to eat off strip certainly. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin do you like boba drinks? I recently opened up a spot in chinatown and would be an honor to have you by to try some drinks and get your thoughts.
Everything looked very good. I don't know if I will go there, but I know what I would want to try now.
I had a great meal, really good time making this video. Thanks for watching!
good food.
Very good food!
Shin, Great videos. I have watch all the food vlogger's for the Las Vegas area, and by far you are the best on you tube. I enjoy the way you go thought the menus, and food. Your videos are clean and simple, and your description of the food and great. Are you in the food industry? Keep up all the great work.
Wow that's high praise. Thank you very much! I'm not in the industry. Just a guy who really loves eating lol. Thanks for watching!
nice food.
So incredibly nice! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Shin!
You got it! Thanks for watching!
Loved this ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I drooled the whole time and I absolutely love the koi theme ❤❤❤
Had such a great time making this video. It was really nice and the food was terrific. Thanks for watching!
All of that food looks so delicious! Another fantastic video! Where is your favorite place for sushi in Vegas? And what’s the real opinion of sushi from the Wynn buffet? 😊
Buffet sushi is usually just okay at best. There's a lot of really great places in Vegas for AYCE sushi. Sushi Neko in Chinatown is high on my list but it's a little out of the way for me. I have a little spot 5 minutes from my house that isn't anything super special but it gets the job done for $30. Thanks for watching!
This is a good find for happy hour. Foods looks delicious. Hope you have a good week
Happy hour is definitely the way to go. $10 cocktails on the strip is a solid deal and cutting the prices down by a 1/3 on the menu items definitely helps out. Thanks for watching!
looks good Shin!
It was really good! One of my favorite videos I've made so far in terms of what I got to eat! Thanks for watching!
Ouch. My wallet hurts right now.
Oh yeah, the upscale spots in Vegas will burn holes in wallets easy. Thanks for watching!
You are a pro at this Shin! I've already made a list of places to eat when I'm there in a couple weeks. 😊
That really makes me happy! I'm glad to know that I'm able to provide some value to those looking to visit Las Vegas! I hope you have an amazing visit to sin city. Please have a delicious trip! Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin I love Vegas! ⭐️🥩🍕🌮🍸
Shin….you do a good job of covering the menu….very interesting
Thank you very much!
Shin, I know you mention in the video that you tend to stick to the off the strip AYCE sushi places, but have you been to Morimoto’s, Nobu, or any of the other high end sushi spots on the strip, and if so how would you say that this one compares to those? Great video as always
I have not been to Morimoto's yet but I will in Q1 2024 for a video. I have been to Nobu at Caesar's years ago and I had a similarly great experience. I don't think you can go wrong with either Nobu or Kusa Nori. And I'm really looking forward to Morimoto's as well. Thanks for watching!
Hey Shin! I heard Kushi Las Vegas is now All you can eat, would love a video, thanks!!!
Thanks for the info. I'll add it to the list, though the list is very long lol. Thanks for watching!
When you were holding the wagyu gyoza at 6:50 it looked like a little dolphin 🐬
LOL! I had not noticed that! Thanks for watching D!
Everything is a buffet if your willing to pay is now company line! Dude, if you make merch, that's the line for the merch.
Yes! It definitely feels right lol. If I do go down the merch route one day, I think this will probably be the first bit of it lol. Thanks for watching!
“Butthole volcano” 😂 hahaha never heard that one before but I like it.
LOL! I tried some super spicy challenges as a kid. Not fun. I fear the exit far more than I fear the entry. Thanks for watching!
Great honest review!!!!! I didn't get a chance to look, but do they have soju?! I know soju is Korean, but just wondering. I agree that there are a lot of great sushi places for less money, but I would consider this!!!
I don't recall seeing soju on the list. In general I'll be sticking to my AYCE sushi spots but if I have need to go to upscale Japanese, I have another option outside of Nobu that I enjoyed. Thanks for watching GL!
@@VegaswithShin I hear you! :)
Shin as usually the place was way over priced but you did do an excellent review. $7 dollars for a diet coke come on Shin !!! In Tokyo I once had AYCE + sides of "real" A5 Waygu steak for $100 USD. The American continues to get ripped off in places like Vegas. BTW there is no tipping in Japan. What kind of work do you do Shin just curious?
Thank you! Yes, Vegas is expensive. It's a very common theme now and prices aren't going to go down so this is the new normal unfortunately. I'm a project manager at an art studio, though the channel more or less generates enough now to almost cover itself. I don't put in much more than $100 to $200 a month nowadays. Thanks for watching!
@VegaswithShin That's great & a smart way to enjoy the finer things Vegas has to offer. I brought up the Diet Coke because we had a restaurant in Nashville and Coke cost us 1 cent per 12oz serving. I am sure it's more now but oh the profit margins. See you on the next video.
What’s up bro great video. Have you ever been to chef Morimotos restaurant in Vegas?
Hello Ryan! No, I haven't been to Morimotos at the MGM Grand yet but it is on my list for early 2024! Thanks for watching!
Can you say yum ❤
YUMMMMMMM!!! Thanks for watching Lori!
🤠
😊
Hello 👋🏽 Shin 😊
Hello!!
everything looks great, BUT, I'm with ya on the cheaper asian buffets,the way to go....
I'll be truthful in saying my 3000 LV Blvd roll from this video was probably the best sushi roll I've had in my life. But at some point, quantity wins for me and there are so many great AYCE sushi places in Las Vegas for the price. I'm very thankful that I started YouTubing so that I can experience these types of foods I probably would have never given a chance, but at the end of the day off camera, I'll be at my local AYCE sushi spot. Thanks for watching!
#1 Hawaiian BBQ north Vegas Loose Rd half kalbee half chix katsu $18 I’m a happy man 😊
Oooh, thanks for the info! I'll have to check it out when I find myself up in the north side of the valley. I live near South Point so I rarely make my way up to downtown or further. Thanks for watching!
Shin was in top form on this video. I laughed when he said “I ain’t the chef, let’s give it a try”! I will have to use his “That went a little over over my head!” as a subtle thumbs down.
Lmao, I'm glad you like my verbiage! Thanks for watching!
The drink prices😮
Some of those drink prices are astronomical certainly! Not for me lol. Thanks for watching!
It looks delicious! (Oishii sou)
Pronunciation could use work, but great review otherwise!
P.S. You are supposed to eat with lots of rice, some light pickles, steamed vegetables. P.S. You ate what would serve a 6-10 person hiking club out on a country town hike. . . sort of Chinese share style.
Very good restaurant here! And if you haven't heard, every restaurant is a buffet if you're willing to pay :) Thanks for watching!
I could never understand why Japanese food is so expensive!
It definitely has its ranges. Some of the cheapest food I enjoy are Japanese like gyudon beef bowls, ramen, and AYCE sushi. But you certainly have your high end spots like Nobu and Kusa Nori. Definitely a special occasion kind of place. Thanks for watching!
Yqw, Shin 😊
😄😄😄
Love the vibe, really surprised how reasonable the prices were… I am booked there for a week or SEMA so for sure will be hitting that up.
Nice! I hope you enjoy your visit! I've got a few friends coming to town for SEMA as well! Thanks for watching!
Macallan 30yr sherry oak cask $1200, damn my brain can't comprehend spending that much on a drink. Though after googling it, the cheapest price I found for a bottle is $6500. People are crazy. I don't care if you are a billionaire that's more than you should spend on a drink.
It all comes down to what people value I'd say. I spend more money on Yugioh cards than I care to say out loud. Billionaire or not, I'm sure most would look at me like I'm crazy for spending the money I do on pieces of cardboard. A tournament meta deck can easily run $1000. So if someone wants to drop $1200 on whiskey, I just say more power to them. 100000% not me though lmao. I have a hard time paying $20 for a cocktail outside of CZcams videos. Thanks for watching!
"butthole volcano"! 🤣🤣🤣Nooooo!
LMAO! Yeah, I don't think I'll be trying that roll anytime soon! Thanks for watching!
Who is paying these prices for food? The place seemed to be busy from the sound of it. I mean, everyone can't be on an expense account.
The restaurant was relatively full by the time I left. I'd say it was roughly 1/3 business types on a company card, 1/3 affluent families, and 1/3 of folks on dates or duos of friends just eating dinner. To be fair, I think if you just get the cod and a robata skewer and a drink, you could get away with less than $100 a person including tax and tip. I doubt anyone is ordering the quantity of food I'm ordering for a single person. Thanks for watching!
Vegas has gotten so pricey it's preposterous. And F & B pricing at Resorts World is a perfect example of the disconnect..
Shin are you rich dropping over 400$ on a meal. What is your real job. Let's see a reasteraunt that's down to earth. Lol
LOL, I'm not rich but I do fine for myself. I'm a project manager at an art studio, but the channel generates enough now where I'm only putting in about $100-$200 of my own money a month. I mostly cover the Las Vegas strip so I'm not sure how many down to earth restaurants exist here lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Shin. It seems to expensive to me. I'm glad your doing good.
Please stop mentioning what you could pay off strip for the same meal. It takes away from the restaurant review.
That's a fair point. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for watching!
I'm definitely not impressed with this restaurant at the resort world. For sure people are paying for the ambience or lack of. There are far better tasting Japanese restaurants off the strip.
I certainly prefer to dine off strip in general, but the average tourist is likely coming to Vegas for the general Vegas strip experience and the food is just one part of that experience. Kind of like telling someone they can get a cheaper, better churro outside of Disneyland. I mean it's true, but it's kind of missing the point you know? Thanks for watching!
I want to work with you, how do I contact you
