A great experience the food was awesome my steak was cooked to my liking and was extremely tender and melted in my mouth. My wife had the lobster thermidor and it was delicious. Yes we will definitely go back the next time we are in Vegas.

A beautiful restaurant at the cosmopolitan hotel Las Vegas. The place and atmosphere are amazing. The service excellent. The food was extraordinary We shared Sushi, meat, tempura vegetables, vagyo gyioza, and the best of all was rice hot pan with mushrooms truffles . The price is very very high but worth it.

Exceptional… the best way to describe our first experience at Wakuda. Starting with the hostess stand , checking in for our reservation, to the service and attentiveness we received at our table. Wakuda is an experience. From the staff to the food to the ambiance, everything was excellent.

One of the top 10 dining experiences of my life! Have booked private room/pre-fix menus before with José Andres, and this exceeded all of them. Private room for 8 was intimate, quiet enough to hear, and the personal service from John was exceptional. I love “Food as Entertainment”, as there are many options in Las Vegas. This will certainly be among your most memorable. The wine paired exceptionally. The few items on our 10 course tasting that clashed with one of our party’s allergies was substituted for them perfectly. Be sure to try the Kueh Pai Ti. To do it perfectly, work with Victoria, and set aside $3-400. If you chose your guests right, it will be a top ten lifetime dining experiences.
