Durango Casino & Resort is shaking up its sushi offerings with a new concept from a Michelin-recognized local chef, set to replace Yu Or Mi Sushi at the Eat Your Heart Out Food Hall in early 2027.

Sushi Kame comes from Chef Eric Kim and the team behind Chinatown’s Kame Omakase, which was named a recommended restaurant in the latest edition of the Michelin Guide Southwest. While the original is known for pricey, chef-curated tasting menus, the new Sushi Kame will offer three distinct dining experiences.

A casual Hand Roll Bar will serve freshly prepared rolls featuring everything from salmon and tuna to toro, snow crab and lobster. The Main Dining area will offer sushi, sashimi, donburi and hot dishes, including Maine lobster uni pasta and A5 Wagyu sukiyaki. A dedicated Sushi Bar will focus on premium nigiri and sashimi, including Japanese seafood and seasonal specialties. Happy hour and late-night menus are also planned.

Kim, who has spent more than 28 years in Las Vegas, says the goal is to bring his approach to Japanese cuisine and hospitality to a more relaxed setting.

An exact opening date has not been announced.
