Tekka Bar: Handroll & Sake

Has become my go to sushi spot when visiting LasVegas. Fantastic hand rolls. Limited menu but what they do they do really well! You can’t go wrong with any of them. It’s bar seating in the “night market” food court area of the Cosmo but the staff goes out of their way to find seating for everyone. Absolutely try it if you’re in the Cosmopolitan or nearby.

Excellent hand rolls with an acceptable selection of sake. This is an island restaurant, so it's smaller and more intimate while also having a bustling mall type atmosphere around it. The chef is fast and efficient. With a full bar, I waited less than a minute with no food in hand. The sake on tap is tasty enough and the peach jelly sake was an excellent desert.

Food Hall for the win. Tekka is small but mighty in flavor. I tried 2 hand rolls. The blue crab and North Atlantic Lobster were palate pleasing. Of course I was looking for sushi. The rolls have the seafood salad inside surrounded by sushi rice and wrapped in seaweed. It was good. These rolls were $9.5 & $10 respectively. I recommend it! Each roll is made to order when you are ready and comes with fresh wasabi.

Man, I’ve been sleeping on this place for a long time! As a local, I try to avoid the Strip as much as I possibly can. After I visited Tekka Bar for the first time this weekend, I might be willing to brave strip traffic at least once a week for this joint. We came in before a show at the Chelsea on a Friday night at 6:30 and the bar was full. We were asked to wait in line for the next available seats and waited no more than 5 minutes to get seated. Our server (she didn’t have a name tag) was very friendly and super attentive. She apologized multiple times for stuff that wasn’t really an issue, like us waiting in line for less than 5 minutes. We already knew what we wanted before we sat down so we ordered right away. I got the high roller and the wife got 3 individual hand rolls (yellowtail, bay scallops, and blue crab). To drink, I had the Junmai sake on tap. Everything here was excellent, from the service to the food, to the ambiance. I’ve been to a couple of other off-Strip handroll places and I have to say, this is the best one I have been to in Vegas so far. Also, it’s reasonably priced considering it’s on the Strip. That new place at the Sundry/Uncommons should take notes from this place.

Soooo good!!!! No seriously, I usually eat AYCE sushi so this of course running miles around that. super fresh and tasty and the vibe in cosmo is 💯 I got the Tekka 16 piece take out with Salmon and Big Eye tuna. They come with some yummy sauces idk the name, and also typical soy sauce wasabi ginger combo. Worth the price, filling and ate in the comfort of my hotel room!
