  • Sushi Takashi is located in the former short lived Hiromaru ramen joint. But, they have changed the interior completely, with dark sexy colors and wood, cool booths, and a wide sushi bar. After taking a seat at the bar, I met the man himself, Chef Takashi, who is a friendly and cool person. While they do have an a la carte menu, I was more interested in the shiny, laminated menu that had some more unique options. On one side contained a 10 course and 12 course menu. And on the other side, a combo menu with a whole lot of options including a bottomless one, a roll one, a never ending salmon bowl, and a quick to-go bento. They also have an $80 ayce option. I decided to go with the 12 course. This was interesting because it wasn't like a traditional kaiseki, where the portions are super small. The value at Takashi's is better than most of the izakayas in the valley. And what else is interesting is that you modify the options on the course menu as you see fit. Before the courses began, they brought out some mini Japanese crackers to snack on. They were good. The first course was the the garlic edamame. The spices were really good and bright. And the edamame had a vibrant color. The next course was the tuna carpaccio. The fish quality was excellent and it went well with soy dressing that had yuzu in it. Next came the salad. I think that I made a great combo with the soba noodle and salmon skin options. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the salmon skin had a great texture to them. I enjoyed the tanginess of the mayo dressing that they used to bring everything together. The meat dish came out next. I ordered the beef teriyaki. This was a simplified version of grilled beef that was seasoned lightly. The beef was of very good quality, and was cooked to a spot-on medium rare. The sauce was kept on the light side, and helped amplify the taste of the beef, rather than mask it as some other spots tend to do. The chef also gave me a taste of the king crab that was available. You don't normally see this item in most sushi restaurants, and I appreciated that fact. The next course was the roll course, in which you can choose from the menu any one of specialty rolls on the menu. I chose the King club roll, which is their king crab made into a roll with avocado. What I noticed immediately was that their rice is cooked perfectly, not too hard or soft, and I personally don't like a too strong of a vinegar taste, and I liked that Takashi's was more neutral-sweet, because that gives it more of a natural taste to the rice. Seriously, king crab and avocado? Now that's what i'm talking about! Next course was the chicken, and I chose the karage. I liked the fact that the chicken were PIPING HOT!! A lot of sushi restaurants in Vegas can learn a thing or two from Takashi about making their karage more hot. Next the seafood course came, and I picked the oysters. Six large oysters were brought out in this Asian mignonette style sauce. They were fresh and sweet. I literally could have eaten about 50 of these. They were amazing. Next, the sukiyaki came out. It came with a generous amount of beef, and it was fun eating it with the noodles, onions, and scallions. The baked dish was next so what looked like a dynamite baked roll came out and was very tasty as well. My nigiri dish came out afterwards and I can say that I am impressed with the high quality of the fish they are using here. It's higher than Goyemon's and more like Yummy Grill's on Lake Mead (Not Eastern ave!!). The rice was perfect and everything just went really well together. The soup course then came. I ordered the creamy white stew. Looking back, I would have probably chosen the miso. I liked the earthiness of the stew, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. Chef Takashi wanted me to try their tuna belly before my last course as a gesture of their grand opening. Once again, they are using high quality fish, and they are thick slices. Mikey likes it! My last course came out which was the dessert course. I ordered the tempura ice cream. The ice cream was exquisite, and the batter was very neutral tasting, which highlighted the ice cream. Throughout the evening, what I realized was that I never felt rushed throughout the evening. The service was awesome, even though it's a brand new restaurant. It has actually been a really long time since I've felt just really comfortable eating at a sushi restaurant. My impression was that I was eating at a Strip high-end sushi restaurant, without having to pay those overpriced, exorbitant prices that those restaurants on the Strip usually command. Even though they have just opened, if they are able to maintain the quality, this would be one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Las Vegas. Great value, great quality, great service, great ambiance, that's all you can really ask for. I'm kinda over the AYCE thing, so i'm looking for a bit more, and Sushi Takashi delivers!
