| - I was here last night for the Sake Session tasting from 7-10pm. Honestly, I'm glad that I came back, since the second time was apparently the charm. I was here one other time, but came before the place was officially open for business, since they were still working out the details with the menu and they actually had forgotten about my sushi order. Granted, there were about 8 of us and it was a soft opening, so I figured that I'd wait til I wrote a review for this place--especially since I keep hearing about the other location and their AYCE sushi option.
First of all, for the Sake Sessions event, they had a DJ spinning some tunes and two models in kimonos serving sake, as well as the somm. doling out ladles of sake (my boyfriend just had to have a photo op with the ladies AND the somm). It seemed like It was an interesting dining experience, to say the least. I actually saw an 80-something year old man walk up to the models and take pictures with them, all while sporting a huge grin on his face. Ya, I'm pretty sure he can leave a happy man now. Lol. Anyways, back to the food and booze.
The menu specials (ranging from $1.25-$8.25) that they had for the event were pretty plentiful and I couldn't help myself from trying out a few of them:
Yakitori Beef - tender, delicious, and possibly the best thing on the menu
Furikake Ahi - yummy
Shoyu Ahi - my fave of the ahi offerings, mostly since I don't really like a lot of different overpowering flavors
The food was definitely worth the wait, although we had to ask the server twice about the status of our second order. I'm thinking it may have been because by the time we ordered, it was also getting a bit busier at around 8:30pm.
Aside from the semi-crowded area, loud music (after all, there was a DJ there and it seemed like I came during the dinner rush), and weaving around groups of people downing sake bombs, it was a great time. I really wish, though, that they would put a bathroom in the restaurant area, instead of having us walk outside and into the casino to use the bathroom, but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.
I'll have to try other options next time, but for now, I definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a Hawaiian and Sushi fix on side of town. I'm actually closer to the Eastern location and will have to try out this place to see how it stacks up.
