| - If you have $ to burn and never look at the prices on a menu: This is the place for you.
We ate here over Thanksgiving week with 2 other couples. The place was chosen my someone that has eaten here before.
Once we opened the menu, the shock set in when we saw rolls priced @ $38 and above. Unless there is black caviar or lobster (that one was about $80) on the roll, the price is a outrageous. In hindsight, we should have walked out at that point, but again if the portions are good, then there is value. Well not here.
We spent over $150 for two, without drinks (only hot tea @$4 a glass) and walked away hungry. Part of the issue is had we stayed with the standard rolls, then it would not have been as pricey, but isn't the whole point of eating here to get something different from the std maki rolls?
Food:
Spicy scallop hand roll $8 - excellent
Shrimp tempura roll $12 - ok, nothing special and no different from any other place
Kobe tataki $22 - In the words of the late Clara Peller: "Where is the beef?" You basically get a potato pancake with 4-5 tiny microscopic slivers of beef.
Tuna tataki $24 - 5 shaved slices of tuna, thin enough that you see the plate underneath.
Short Rib $10 - One bite and its gone. Ok, but tough to judge as there was almost nothing there
Beef Teriyaki $33 - Very well prepared, decent portion relative to the rest of the meal. We ordered it based on seeing one of the other couples get it. Without it, we would have starved.
Sorry, but this is one of the most overpriced restaurants I have ever eaten in my life. I have spent the same amount and more up and down the Strip and have never been this disappointed and this hungry when leaving a restaurant.
