| - This place is decent. Unlike other reviewers I found the decor to be over the top and rather...hodge-podge, they have so many different types of materials: marble, tile, rock, paint, carpet, etc. that the place really lacks cohesion ( I'm an interior designer, so it's entirely possible I'm just pickier than most). Their chairs were super comfy though.
I went here with my husband and my parents, since it's down the street from their new place. We went during happy hour, they have a pretty good happy hour menu, but don't have any of their specialty rolls on it. Their specialty rolls seemed a bit overpriced and some of their classic rolls they made cheaper by taking out ingredients. I've never had a Las Vegas roll with only 3 ingredients or a Shrimp tempura roll with only 2.
All of their rolls with salmon came with smoked salmon, so I specifically asked if I could order rolls with normal salmon and was told I could absolutely do that. We proceeded to order 2 Las Vegas rolls, 1 with regular salmon. We also ordered a Shrimp tempura roll, a Rainbow roll, Gyoza, Honey Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken.
When our waitress delivered the rolls I asked her which Vegas roll had the regular salmon, she gave me a blank look and said I'd never ordered that, that the roll comes with smoked salmon, as if the conversation about it had never happened. She also said something along the lines of "It's hard to redo deep fried rolls" implying they wouldn't take the roll back. That just really annoyed me, she made the mistake, she knew it and wouldn't own up to it. I didn't push it, because there wasn't that much salmon in the rolls anyway, they were mostly rice, they tasted ok. The Tempura roll was good as was the Rainbow roll (though most of the toppings were shrimp instead of the 4 types of fish you usually get). The Gyoza, Honey chicken and Sweet and Sour chicken were all delicious.
All in all I just felt like their rolls were very cheaply made. Perhaps they should have spent less on the decor and put more into their fish budget. If we came here again it would probably be for the Chinese food and not for the sushi.
