| - Wow, what an unassuming joint from the outside. It just goes to show you that in Las Vegas it pays to investigate things which look like they might be dives.
I actually thought this place was way better than Yama Sushi, and told the chef. That is because this sushi chef, and I am sad to say I didn't get his name, had a constant habit of saying 'And then?' after every order. At first I found this a tad off putting because I'm totally used to forcing every AYCE sushi chef to give me more sushi... because AYCE sushi is not for pansies. Then I realized what a fucking genius service mode that was, and we got into a good rhythm.
The waitresses were okay. I developed a plate pile at one point, and we had two different waitresses for the appetizer because the sushi chef called one over to help us, but she kept me in water.
At 24 bucks, they were comparatively priced and this one came with appetizer. I got tempura squid, which was very hot and pretty good. I had wanted an octopus salad, but it was not available (?) Though I ended up really enjoying the tempura squid.
Sush/Nigirii pieces: came with a lot of rice and thick seaweed. Tako was pretty good - still a titch chewy but again, octopus is pretty chewy. You have to want it. The mackerel and yellowtail tasted very fresh and distinct to each fish. I didn't care for the urchin, which was um, very very sea urchin. The salmon roe were massive eggs. Inari was tasty, didn't care for the crab meat at all - but those two were the choices of the friend I was dining with, who is far less adventurous about her raw fish.
Rolls: Large selection to choose from here. I went with "Final Destination 2" as first selection - spicy softshell crab inside, four fish outside. Well, actually I recall it ending with sweet shrimp, but yeah. This was really good. "Love Me Tender" was my second call on rolls, which is crab and eel inside, eel outside. Delicious. There are far more adventurous ports of call on this roll list, and I'd like to go back and try them. My friend's Philadelphia rolls were okay, if you're into that, but I say you should just eat a bagel if you want cream cheese and fish.
Dessert: We had ice cream. I went with red bean, and I will say this: I thought Yama had the better red bean ice cream? The only real disappointment of my evening... well, aside from watching our Governor Gibbons blather on the television. That was the sort of depressing hour you really need AYCE sushi to save.
