  • It is my first sushi venture in Las Vegas area, for a good reason. I am very skeptical of sushi restaurants that are not located within 50 miles off the coast. Sure stuff can be flown everywhere, but restaurants along the coast have a distinct advantage of real fish markets within close proximity. That and Vegas's demand for the ultimate mainstream and average-American friendly thing doesn't quite mean good sushi in my mind. Where dragon rolls are the mark of quality, for me it is quite the opposite. However, this place was recommended by a worker at my favorite ramen place, so it had to be tried. Tucked away in Henderson in a seemingly empty corner of some retirement community, this is a nice simple modern place with plenty of counter space and an open robata grill to the side. Menu has nice simple Japanese cuisine as well as the dreaded dragon roll that everyone looks for. We sat at the counter with Jun-san, the head sushi chef. He was very friendly and was happy to see that I was a passionate sushi enthusiast, gave us uni from a hidden fridge as well as some domestic kobe beef slightly torched. All the fish came from different sources, such as tai from Japan and chu-toro from Spain, which tells me he puts good thought behind fish purchasing. Some great aspects of the kitchen is that they hand-make their own tofu as well as udon. Did not have room for udon but I did try their agedashi which was done very well with light but richly flavored dashi broth. Tofu was soft with a great texture. From the robata we asked for chicken meatball (tenuku?) which was really a hotdog shaped chopped mixture of chicken and herbs, grilled and smothered in sauce, and my favorite, a fresh egg underneath it on the plate that allows the runny yolk goodness smother itself all over the meat (they ask you if you want it when you order, in case you're squeamish, but ahh I love runny eggs). The fish wasn't the freshest but I was told that Sunday is not the best day of the week for him. Apparently Thursday is the day to go. But the uni was nice and sweet, chu-toro nice and firm, and Jun-san treats the ikura himself. I was told that this is the best sushi in Vegas area, and I'm ready to believe it. I am no fan of Nobu and this is a great place to be away from all the blinking lights. Overall it was a very pleasant find and I was glad to dine there.
