| - Recently tried Yama Sushi for the first time during a visit to Las Vegas. I used the mobile version of Yelp to find the place, but still had a bit of trouble since it's part of an outdoor shopping center with several establishments and the buildings are far back from the street. If you're looking for this place, look for the shopping center with the Albertsons on Flamingo and Maryland and you'll find this place.
Interior of the restaurant is small, but very clean. Tables are close together, but the sushi bar was packed so I sat at a table. There is a laminated menu with the special rolls, and a paper menu that your server will bring with the more standard fare. AYCE with tax is just shy of $23.00. A fantastic deal.
I was very pleased to see that half-orders were available for all rolls, even the special ones. This meant that since I was the only one eating sushi in my party, I was able to try several rolls. While I tried to pick rolls, I had the Albacore sushi (just ok) and the Salmon sushi (pretty good!). Both were served with large pieces of fish and just enough rice. I don't think I'd get the Albacore again, there was something about the texture I didn't like.
First up were the "Man Whore" rolls: Spicy salmon roll baked w/ a mixture of spicy tuna and cream cheese on top and served with spicy mayo and eel sauce. These were just okay. The baked topping was dry, possibly over-baked? Not sure. So, the Man Whore wasn't fantastic, but it wasn't awful, either.
Next were the "Yama Crunch": Tempura shrimp and crabmeat roll with a crunch layer on top. These were pretty tasty. They were served with a sweet sauce which was pretty good.
KAI Roll: Eel, cream cheese, avocado and spicy tuna roll w/ spicy tuna and avocado outside. Again, there was a sauce served with these rolls that was pretty good. I would have gladly had more of these and skipped the Man Whore rolls.
Last, but not least, the "Wet Dream". OMG. Delicious. These are a California roll baked with cream cheese and shrimp on top with a sweet yam sauce and eel sauce. Did I say DELICIOUS? These were the perfect end to the meal.
Service was fine. The place was VERY busy, but I barely would finish a plate of 4 pieces and the server would come around and ask if I wanted something else. It's also very noisy, but that's okay as long as the person next to you doesn't have an annoying celphone ring that goes off ever 2 minutes or so. Ahem.
I would definitely go here again if I'm with non-sushi diners. Otherwise, I'm still a fan of Sushi on Trop .. for now.
