Top Sushi & Oyster: AYCE Fun, Instagram-Worthy Rolls, and Friendly Vibes

My daughter is a sushi superfan. She isn’t a big eater, but when a new spot opens, it instantly becomes the only thing she wants to talk about. So when she heard about Top Sushi & Oyster, the buzzed-about newcomer making the rounds with local Vegas influencers, our plans became pretty clear: grab our chopsticks and go.

From the moment we walked in, the space felt exciting and big—big enough for two full sushi chef teams, private rooms, and multiple seating zones so you can choose a quieter dinner or sit near the action when the team bursts into song for someone’s birthday.

The vibe is celebratory, the design is camera-ready, and the menu is built to please both the adventurous and the comfort-order crowd.

Like many Vegas favorites, Top Sushi & Oyster offers All You Can Eat (AYCE) along with à la carte, which is perfect when your party includes both “let me try everything” people and “I’ll stick to my favorites” diners. We went AYCE—and left very happy.

Why locals are buzzing

The first thing you notice is the decor. Overhead, the ceiling is draped with lanterns and a canopy of pink and white flowers—cherry-blossom–style—that creates a festive glow for photos and videos.

It’s the kind of room where every dish looks even better when it arrives, and at Top Sushi & Oyster, the presentation really is a “wow” moment.

Plates are thoughtfully composed and often stacked with texture—crispy, creamy, saucy, and torched—so each roll feels like its own little showpiece.

The second standout is the service. The staff was in constant motion—checking in, resetting, and singing happy birthday more than once—yet we never felt rushed.

That can be rare these days, and it matters. When the room is this lively, it’s the team that keeps the experience smooth.

AYCE pricing & options

Top Sushi & Oyster’s AYCE format is straightforward, with choices that make it easy to bring the whole family:

• Kids under 5: Free
• Kids under 8: $21.99
• Weekday Lunch AYCE: $30.99
• Dinner AYCE: $34.99 or $38.99 (the higher tier adds a few specialty rolls)

If AYCE isn’t your thing, you can order à la carte, but the structure and value of AYCE make it especially appealing when you want to sample widely or you’re dining with a sushi-loving kid who wants “just one more” bite.

What we ordered (and loved)

We kicked off with something fresh and simple: Seaweed Salad for me and a Salmon Nigiri for my daughter—both clean, bright, and balanced.

From there, we dove headfirst into the comfort-classics-meet-specialty-rolls lane and never looked back.

Our table’s greatest hits

• Baked Lobster: Rich, indulgent, and the right kind of messy. The lobster topping adds a creamy, luxurious bite without overpowering the roll.
• Japanese Lasagna: A crowd-pleaser for anyone who likes warm, saucy, and layered flavors. Think baked goodness with an umami finish.
• Baked Alaskan: A classic done right—comforting and satisfying with a toasty finish.
• Spicy Crispy Rice: A must-order for texture lovers. The crunch of the rice with a spicy topping is the perfect one-two punch.
• Deep Fried Philadelphia: The roll that turns skeptics into fans—creamy, lightly crisp on the outside, and just decadent enough to be memorable.
• Teriyaki Chicken: A smart add for non-sushi diners and kids. Tender, savory, and a great “share plate” between rounds of rolls.

Confession time: I am not a big AYCE eater. I can’t usually power through plate after plate—but the rolls here kept tempting me to go for one more.

I probably ordered a couple more than I needed, and I hate wasting food, so consider this a friendly warning: pace yourself.

The good news is, each dish backed up its glossy presentation with real flavor—no empty promises—just consistently tasty bites.

Atmosphere, seating & who it’s best for

The dining room is designed to handle groups, celebrations, and date nights.

With two sushi chef teams working, private rooms available, and a layout that includes more intimate sections plus central high-energy areas, you can match the mood to your plans.

Got a birthday? You’ll be in the right place. Want a family dinner where your sushi-loving kid can sample freely? Even better.

It’s also very Instagrammable. Between the floral ceiling and the artful plating, content creators will find plenty to work with.

That helps explain why local influencers have been singing its praises—it photographs beautifully, and the experience delivers.

Service that keeps things smooth

AYCE can get chaotic if the team isn’t on it. Here, servers moved with purpose—checking on courses, clearing plates, and keeping the flow right on schedule—without hovering or making the table feel rushed. It’s a small detail that adds up to a relaxed, enjoyable meal.

Top Sushi & Oyster sits at the corner of Tenaya & Sahara, a super convenient midpoint for meeting friends coming from different parts of town.

If you’re cruising the famous auto dealer row corridor nearby, it’s an easy detour for lunch or dinner. Parking is straightforward, and the spot works just as well for a spontaneous weeknight roll-fest as it does for a planned celebration.

Between the weekday lunch at $30.99 and the dinner tiers at $34.99 and $38.99, the math is friendly—especially with kids under 5 free and kids under 8 at $21.99.

Add in the presentation, the decor, and the service, and you’ve got a spot that feels like an occasion without breaking the bank. My daughter left grinning, I left full (maybe too full), and we both agreed: we’re coming back.

Worth the trip?

If you love specialty rolls with bold builds, enjoy a lively room that celebrates birthdays like a team sport, and want a family-friendly sushi place that still feels like a night out,

Top Sushi & Oyster deserves a place on your list. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes AYCE feel like an experience—not just a deal.

What I’ll remember most

Some places lean on looks; others win you over on flavor. Top Sushi & Oyster does both.
From the cherry-blossom ceiling to the last crunchy bite of spicy crispy rice, it’s a joyful AYCE experience that feels as good as it looks—and it made a sushi fan out of our whole table, not just my daughter.
