First time wife and I have had AYCE at a sushi restaurant and it was quite a treat. The fact their price is only $24/person makes it that much better. Overall the food was very good and well prepared not cheap/slop as one would expect. The service is super fast and plenty of wait staff around to help all the time. It was Fri night at 10pm and it was packed. The sushi was fresh and clean tasting and the rice was not overstuffed which showed they were not trying to fill you up on rice.......very impressive. We had a few exotic rolls with interesting sauces and each was unique and distinct. The deep fried soft shell crab appetizer was surprisingly good for such an inexpensive restaurant. The hamachi kama was the only dish that was literally ruined by over cooking it. I have had the real thing (large cuts off the head/shoulder) in Japan and Hong Kong for years and the way it should be is barely cooked over an open flame which draws out all of the oil and makes the fish super moist and melts in your mouth. This was dry and therefore almost tasteless compared to the real thing.
But the truly amazing standout at this restaurant is clearly the seafood salad. We started out with one and devoured it in joy. The dressing is very spicy so be careful......but it was bursting with flavor. What they do (in my opinion) is use the end cuttings from the sashimi plus 2 pieces of tempura shrimp for the ingredients. Amazing, pieces of every kind of fish and scallops and all melted in your mouth. Even the odd cut pieces of salmon were smooth as silk. When they asked for last orders we were pretty stuffed so decided on one more of the seafood salad (one allowed for each diner) but when it came out we were blown away.....it had twice as much fish as the first order.....it was absurd, had to have at least 25 pieces of fish/scallops....we could not even finish it and had to waddle out the front door because of it. Here's the thing: if you eat sushi in any form it is filled with rice, the menu does not offer sashimi for this reason: most would order it over sushi so as not to fill up. Well this dish is all sashimi and then some...........you can eat great fish and not get overly filled up to leave room for some of the great appetizers.
Will be back next time we are in Vegas.
