In Vegas I've realized that you just can't judge a book by it's cover. Yonaka is located in a strip mall and we had an incredible experience here! My friends Nelson and Sylvia took us to Yonaka for happy hour and they did not steer us wrong. I'm from Hawaii where we have a plethora of Japanese cuisine and Yonaka certainly holds its own.
Highlights were:
Brussel sprouts: Order them and then write me a thank you letter. I enjoy beautiful stationary and $100 bills.
Avocado nigiri: I've never really cared for avocados but somehow they really worked as nigiri sushi. The creaminess of the avocado just explodes in your mouth.
We ordered a bunch of other dishes but quite honestly my brain exploded from the pure bliss I experienced and I basically blacked out. It was that good folks. I do recall though that service was excellent and the modern, clean decor is great for a first date or gathering of friends. Happy hour is definitely the way to go and we left stuffed for just $20 each once we split the bill. Just a few minutes off of the strip and a great way to eat like a local on a budget! Do it, do it NOW!!!
