| - Tried the ayce a 3rd time and it is hands-down one of the best values for sushi in las vegas.
Even during lunch, just pay $2 more and you get a plethora of dinner options as seen in my photos which include a sashimi roll which is practically rolls using sashimi as the wrap, screaming O salad, and my absolute favorite here: the towering poke stack.
Sakana offers a great amount of appetizers which vary and include fried rice, pork belly, gyoza, shrimp tempura, also something called "the shit" which was just okay.
The fact that they are AYCE does not sacrifice the quality of the sushi here. Super fresh, super delicious. Still way cheaper than any other ayce in Vegas.
On their dinner specials this time around: "Sy's Special and Dragon's Special" . These referred to the two sushi chef's who each made unique dishes. I tried the Dragon special and out came salmon belly nigiri plated next to a sushi 'ball' wrapped in avocado and sushi. Hard to describe but delicious, just check out my picture of this.
Later during the dinner, SY offered his special to us. He asked me to try it and since I didn't technically order it, they said if I didn't finish it, it wouldn't count against us. (Since you're supposed to finish everything you order). A whole different sushi preparation compared to Dragon's and picture must be seen below. Of course, like the Dinner Special board had written down "Don't ask, just try!" that is exactly what I did. It was pretty good, dragon's was better imo.
The only 1 reason I took down a star this time around: I ordered 1 piece of Uni which is a dinner only item. They ran out! Now, If I came late to dinner that would be fine, but we were the first customers there for dinner. I guess being able to have the "dinner" menu during lunch time is a double-edged sword. It's great, because I would come during lunch and do dinner, but I believe you should save some uni for your real dinner time customers.
I have tried their uni in the past times I've ate here, and it was fresh. Creamy and tasty.
The service is always nice here. The location is right on the corner behind the Target. They finally have their Sakana sign up after having the old Kabuto sign which they replaced.
If you're craving sushi, and lots of it, and you don't want the quality of your sushi sacrificed, come to Sakana!
