| - We come from a place where Asian cuisine is spectacular, where it's cooked by people who can't speak a word of English but make the most exquisite Asian cuisine. When we moved to the states, we were expecting to find better food out here, since the states promises better and bigger things.
We tried the great Asian restaurants in the Venetian, the Forums, and every other place you can think of. Even the locals suggested a few asian buffets, but to our dismay the food was just "okay", and not the great flavors I sought.
One day, out of sheer luck, we passed by this restaurant and finally decided to stop in. Walking in felt like home; the counter in the front, the nice, homely tables around the sides, and the music just like the stuff played over the speakers at the Chinese and Japanese restaurants where we're from.
The service, for a small restaurant, is impeccable. Not only are they there to give you refills without asking, but the food comes out fast and extremely well plated. Our first experience here happened to be what we've sought--great sushi. We tried their tempura sushi and tuna, and to our amazement, we were finally home.
Their culinary delights include their fabulous tempura that, in all honesty, beats the hotel restaurants and buffets on and off the strip. Theirs is real tempura--light, crispy batter, perfectly brown and very well seasoned. Their bulgogi, kalbi, and barbecue chicken is a delight. If you order anything that comes with a special box, you must eat their macaroni and regular salad. Even their miso soup is excellent. Compared to a five star restaurant at home, this place is up there.
I'm not exxagerating when I say that this is the best Japanese and Korean food in Vegas. It honestly is, and if you want a taste of real Japanese and Korean food is, you MUST eat here.
Since my discovery of this place, we eat here every day for dinner, and we will continue to because their food is the best in Vegas. Hands down.
