| - This was the first stop of my Las Vegas Food Tour and wow was it a good one. I have to admit that this was my all time favorite sushi experience and definitely a top 3 overall dining experience.
I chose to sit at the bar (which I highly recommend from now on). I chose to do the AYCE and was flabbergasted by the large selection of nigiri, rolls and special rolls they had. You can add appetizers and desserts to the AYCE as well. Sushi Chef Fredo saw that I was completely clueless about what to order so I basically turned the keys over to him. He basically ordered for me, and I have to say that this is the only way to eat sushi from now on. It was an awesome experience. I also appreciated the way Fredo made the nigiri sushi...he didn't overpower the fish with a ton of rice underneath.
Highlights:
Pork Belly - At first, i thought the soy sauce marinade was gonna overpower the pork belly and make it really salty, but when i ate, it was incredibly delicate and tender. It is similar to chashu. In addition, the pork belly comes with a side of mango salsa to top off the meat. 5/5
Blue Fin Tuna, Toro, and Super White Tuna Nigiri - These were my top dishes for the night. The blue fin tuna was incredibly soft and tender, which makes it just melt in your mouth. It was freakin decadent. I was told that the toro is the belly of the tuna, which makes sense because it tasted fatty and tender...just the way i like it. And the super white tuna (which i've heard is escolar...not tuna) was also really good. It tasted like butterfish. 5/5
Hurricane Roll - the best of the special rolls IMO. It had shrimp tempura and an assortment of other stuff. I think it had rho as well. And it must have been topped with some eel sauce and this other creamy white sauce. I ordered so much, I don't remember what was in it. But i do remember that it tasted balanced and flavorful, and was simply the perfect bite. 5/5
Frying Jason - This is basically a BSCR but the filling had crab sticks and cream cheese. Pretty bomb. 4/5
Grilled Yellowtail Collar - this was also the bomb. you can taste the smokiness from the grill and the fish was light. it felt like you were eating outside your bbq. 4/5
I also ordered:
baked mussels (fantastic)
dynamite (basically the topping of a BSCR in a shell)
orgasmic salad (seared ahi tuna in some greens and lime juice. a bit sour)
jala jala roll (your basic roll with spicy tuna in the filling topped with albacore, salmon, tuna, and a slice of chili pepper....pretty good)
scallop nigiri (it was good, but he put a bit too much lime juice on it)
supreme salmon roll (probably my least favorite. it was a salmon roll topped with salmon. a little overkill)
Finally after all this indulgence, i finished off my meal with some green tea ice cream. delicious.
p.s. all the dishes i ordered can be ordered in half orders.
