I really really love Las Vegas Chinatown. Good food everywhere you turn.
- The space reminded me a lot of Japan. Small wooden tables, the menu stapled to the wall, the smell, the crazy fast kitchen. Good memories
Let's see if I can remember all of the food:
- The blue fin tuna sashimi was excellent. Nice and fatty with a hint of fish. Nice thick cut
- The chicken thigh skewers were savory with a hint of fat
- The chicken gizzards were good (for gizzards). Might have been a touch overcooked
- The chicken livers were off the hook. Such livery goodness and the sauce complemented them well
- The beef tongue skewer was tender and meaty
- The black cod was just wow. Perfectly cooked and traditionally sauced
- The meatballs were amazing. Savory, meaty, tender with a nice touch of green onion
- The red snapper carpaccio was meh. Kind of boring after all of the savory goodness
- The beef tongue and mushroom special was also boring. It was filling. Maybe I was disappointed because it came towards the end and everything else was so good
- The Copper River salmon was unbelievable. I am a little bit of a salmon snob and know that the Copper River label is a little bit of a marketing ploy. However, this salmon was rich and fatty. Definitely lived up to the marketing
Service was solid and I loved that I was outnumbered 9:1 by Nihonjins who were all chatting away not knowing that a gaijin was sitting there eavesdropping.
