This new spot in town has my number! I came here tonight for a late dinner with my girlfriend and we were not disappointed in the least.
It was slow for a Friday night but being late I understand that could be the case in this quieter part of vegas. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated.
I personally like the bar so we found a nice corner. Drink orders were taken immediately and here we go.
The rundown: I ordered the screaming o and a no. 5 roll. Screaming o was placed with the waitress and came first and the attentive chef took my order for the roll which he made before my eyes.
The screaming o is a staple for me. I love it, it's great. Ask anyone that knows me, it's fantastic. In this preparation the chef portioned out the radish to fit the plate, then sliced it by the portion and proceeded to lay the tuna slices over it and drizzle the sauce. This struck me as different because when eating it ensured that each bite had the right ration of fish to radish to sauce with no biting and navigating of long pieces that typically would be nested on the plate. Rich, fresh, thoughtful. Everything I wanted.
The no. 5 roll has Cajun albacore and cucumber inside with spicy tuna and crispy onion on top with a light saucing. This was amazing in flavor and generous in fish. You could taste the Cajun albacore even under the topping and onion. A big bite for sushi but well composed.
All this with a Sapporo makes for a treat meal.
My friend tried my selections and loved the screaming o but was terrified of the roll, she is a bit vanilla. Her order was a California roll and gyozas and she was satisfied.
The chef made us a delicious special after seeing the difference in our orders. It was a cut scallop bite with truffle oil and a fried garlic slice on top. It was so perfectly tender and the sweet hint of the scallop shined through.
All in all I was incredibly impressed and will be back!
