Limited, but good option - Edit
Went for dinner because we heard they had some vegan options. I wasn’t able to verify if the tempura vegetables were okay, but we ended up getting avocado rolls and Bibimbap, which were delicious. When we requested no egg or Bulgogi the server asked us if we would also like to substitute oil instead of butter for the rice (no idea that was a thing). Very good food, very friendly staff!

Really good food! - Edit
Bibimbap without butter (substitute oil), no bulgogi, and no egg is perfect vegan option! Also got the avocado rolls and it didn’t disappoint!

Has its place - Edit
Ordered veggie tempura, edamame, fried rice, and veggie sushi roll. The rice was oily and had egg in it, even after specifically asking for vegan/no egg. However, I’d still go back and order the roll and edamame because it’s not like Laughlin is overflowing with options. At least they have food that isn’t processed.

Not sure why theres good reviews - Edit
They have 1 vegan option. The waitress looked at me as if I was speaking a foreign language. Not familiar with veganism at all. Very surprised to see good reviews on happy cow here lol. Not coming back.

Great Japanese / Korean restaurant with Vegan / Vegetarian choices - Edit
Folks - leave the casino food behind and right along the strip is MInato's Japanese Restaurant. It features Japanese AND Korean food and YES IT HAS VEGAN / VEGETARIAN OPTIONS.
Read moreWe went twice... two days in a row! When I say we I mean my husband a sushi lover, and me a vegan who is new to sushi world and not a fan of seaweed flavor. LOL sounds challenging? A little but Minato's was great and we both recommend it.
I ordered the veggie tempura appetizers - the tempura was nice, battered well but light and crispy and a good selection of veg!
And as for vegetarian / vegan options - while not on the menu (not sure why they don't have their own section as the menu is a very nice sized one) - I asked the wait staff about vegetarian/vegan options and was directed to the extra paper sushi checklist with 4 different rolls. The waiter also informed me they can customize just about any of the other rolls if I would like. I found that he was eager to help and knowledgeable as to the dishes etc as opposed to some places where they act like customizing for vegetarian or vegans is a pain... that was not the case here at all.
Another bonus was that they also had (for an upcharge) soy wraps available instead of the usual Nori seaweed wraps! I LOVED IT!
My Asparagus roll was simple - rice, tempura asparagus and soy wrap, but rice was on point, asparagus tempura pieces were fresh and tasty and it hit the spot! It came with a dipping sauce, and of course ginger and wasabi if you want it. The avocado vegan roll with soy wrap was good too but again both these rolls were very simple so if you are wanting more colors & veggies or fancy sauces with customization I got the feeling the staff would be very accommodating.
LOCATION PRO TIP: It is in a 2 story building on the 2nd floor. Parking is only tricky in that there is a tight strip in front but ALSO an underneath lot (w/ handy elevator if needed) AND a lot up behind the building. Both the underground and top lots are on the right side when facing the building. For trucks I advise the top lot.
Pros: Service great, Fresh Food & Soy Wrap available w/upcharge, Can customize some rolls (*ask if any upcharges)
Cons: Vegetarian / Vegan options should be on main menu

One of Few Vegan Options - Edit
It was very difficult to find vegan options in this area and we were so relieved to find this place! There are several vegan options and the food was amazing. The staff was very helpful and patient with us as we explained our dietary needs. We were able to get the standard vegan sushi (cucumber/avocado) and they also had a veggie roll. We also also had veggie tempura, bim bim bap (rice w/veggies), and a yummy cucumber salad. It appeared that there were even a few other options as well but these are the things we ordered. We were very happy with the quality of food, service and prices!
Read morePros: Great food, Friendly staff, Vegan food in an area with almost no vegan options
Cons: A bit pricier than what we wanted to spend, Not the nicest building/restaurant , Not a 100% vegan restaurant
