Best Asian Restaurants in Las Vegas (2026): Strip & Chinatown

Las Vegas has two quite different Asian dining scenes. On the Strip, the big resorts run formal Chinese and Japanese dining rooms with dress codes and tasting menus. A few miles west, Spring Mountain Road and the streets around it hold the city's Chinatown: strip-mall restaurants where a bowl of noodles or a plate of northern Thai food costs a fraction of a resort dinner.

This guide covers restaurants in both, and every opening day and hour below was checked on the restaurant's or resort's own website in September 2026. Menus and prices change, so we point you to the official page rather than quoting numbers that go stale. Always confirm hours before you drive across town.

At a Glance

Asian Fine Dining on the Strip

Strip restaurants cost more, but you get a resort setting, polished service and no need for a car. Most open for dinner only, several are closed on set weekdays, and two of the Wynn restaurants do not admit children under 5.

Wing Lei (Wynn Las Vegas)

Wynn's Chinese restaurant serves Cantonese, Shanghai and Szechuan dishes. Its signatures are an Imperial Peking Duck carved tableside, wok-fried Maine lobster and handmade dim sum. Wynn says the restaurant holds a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating, and it is led by Chef Tam Kwok Fung.

• Hours: dinner from 5:30 p.m.; closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
• Dress code: business casual, with no shorts or open-toe shoes for men. Children under 5 are not permitted.
• Where: in the Wynn Tower Suites area, near the Tower Suites valet.

Mizumi (Wynn Las Vegas)

Mizumi covers most of Japanese dining under one roof: sushi, robatayaki, teppanyaki, kaiseki and omakase, with a separate Teppan Room for tableside cooking. The setting is the draw: gardens, a koi pond and a 90-foot waterfall. Sansui, an outdoor terrace beside the waterfall, carries a $175 per person minimum, according to Wynn.

• Hours: dinner nightly from 5 p.m.
• Dress code: upscale casual chic, with no shorts or open-toe shoes for men. Children under 5 are not permitted.

Nobu (Caesars Palace)

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian menu is best known for black cod with sweet miso and yellowtail jalapeño. Caesars says this Nobu has teppanyaki tables, which it describes as the only Nobu location in the U.S. to offer them. Dinner starts at 5 p.m., the dress code is business casual, and bookings go through OpenTable.

If you only have one Japanese dinner on the Strip, the choice is mood: Nobu is lively and centered on signature dishes; Mizumi is quieter and more traditional.

Mott 32 (The Venetian)

Mott 32 cooks Cantonese, Szechuan and Beijing dishes. Peking duck is the headline. It also serves dim sum at lunch, as a three- or four-course set menu (dim sum, soup, a main and optional dessert) or à la carte, which makes lunch the cheaper way to try it. The Venetian's page does not list hours, so call its reservation line to check.

TAO Asian Bistro (The Venetian)

TAO mixes Chinese, Japanese and Thai dishes in a big, loud room with a DJ and a large Buddha statue. Signatures include spicy tuna tartare on crispy rice, chicken gyoza and crispy Peking duck for two. TAO Group lists dinner from 5 p.m. nightly, a late "Social Hour", and an all-you-can-eat buffet brunch on Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It suits groups and pre-night-out dinners more than a quiet meal.

Thai: Lotus of Siam and Weera Thai

Lotus of Siam

Lotus of Siam is the Thai restaurant most Vegas food lovers name first. Chef Saipin Chutima won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest in 2011, and the menu is known for northern Thai dishes that many Thai restaurants skip. Order from the northern section: crispy rice salad (nam kao tod), larb and khao soi are the usual starting points.

• Two locations: 620 E Flamingo Rd, east of the Strip, and 953 E Sahara Ave, the original Commercial Center home, which the restaurant lists as reopening on May 10, 2026.
• Reservations: both take them on OpenTable. Book ahead for dinner.

Weera Thai

Weera Thai traces its roots to a Chiang Mai restaurant known for Isaan dishes; its signature is a spicy duck salad. It is a sit-down restaurant with four locations, all open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily: W Sahara Ave, Spring Mountain Rd in Chinatown, S Rainbow Blvd, and Town Square at the south end of the Strip. The Town Square branch is the handiest from Strip hotels.

Sushi and Japanese Off the Strip

Yui Edomae Sushi

Yui serves traditional Edomae sushi, the Tokyo style of lightly cured and aged fish, from a Chinatown storefront at 3460 Arville St. It is open Monday to Saturday, 6 to 10:30 p.m. The restaurant marks its tenth anniversary on its site. Seats are limited and the format is omakase, so reserve in advance and check the current price when you book.

Other Mama

Other Mama describes itself as a sushi bar, cocktail lounge and seafood restaurant: a neighborhood spot at 3655 S Durango Dr, about 15 minutes west of the Strip. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 5 to 10 p.m., with a late-night happy hour on Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to midnight. Reservations are taken online or by phone.

Noodles, Pho and Dim Sum

Shàng Artisan Noodle

Shàng is a fast-casual restaurant specializing in hand-pulled noodles in the style of Shanxi province in northern China. It is at 4983 W Flamingo Rd, just west of Chinatown, and open every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. It is a good-value sit-down meal.

District One Kitchen & Bar

District One serves what it calls "modern pho" alongside Vietnamese and Asian fusion dishes and craft cocktails. Its signature is a lobster pho. It is at 3400 S Jones Blvd, near Spring Mountain Road, open daily 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a happy hour on weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m.

Ping Pang Pong (Gold Coast)

Ping Pang Pong, inside the Gold Coast casino west of the Strip, is a long-standing local choice for Hong Kong-style dim sum. Older guides call it a 24-hour restaurant; we could not confirm current hours on Gold Coast's site, so check them with the casino before you go. Parking at Gold Coast is easier than at a Strip resort.

Visiting Chinatown

Las Vegas Chinatown grew up along Spring Mountain Road, west of the Strip across I-15. It is a drive-to district of shopping plazas rather than a walkable neighborhood, so plan on a car or rideshare.

Las Vegas Chinatown Plaza at 4205 Spring Mountain Rd, with its Tang Dynasty-style gateway, is the easiest place to start. The plaza lists restaurants including Bangkok Street Food (Thai), Mr. Tang (Korean), Sushi Time (Japanese) and Xiao Long Dumpling (Chinese), plus bakeries and boba shops. Its listed hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, though individual restaurants set their own. It also hosts Lunar New Year events.

Strip or Chinatown?

Practical Tips

• Check closing days. Wing Lei closes Tuesday and Wednesday, Yui closes Sunday, and Other Mama closes Monday.
• Mind age rules. Wing Lei and Mizumi do not admit children under 5.
• Book the famous ones. Lotus of Siam, Yui and the Wynn restaurants all take reservations and fill up on weekends.
• Get there by car. The off-Strip restaurants are 10 to 20 minutes from the Strip; most have free parking lots. See our transportation guide.
• Go at lunch. Off-Strip places like Shàng, District One and Weera Thai open at 11 a.m., and Mott 32's dim sum lunch is the cheapest way into a Strip Asian restaurant.
• Spice levels vary. Northern Thai and Szechuan dishes can be very hot. Ask for mild and add heat at the table.
• Dietary needs: fish sauce and wheat-based soy sauce are common. Tell your server if you are vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free.
