| - I really do enjoy this restaurant. First of all, AYCE sushi for a great price. Secondly, it's lovely inside. Most importantly? Good sushi and great staff.
My visit was mid-week for lunch. I'd been craving Sushi on Trop ever since I booked my Vegas vacation, and I wasn't going to let a little thing like 45mph wind gusts keep me away. I sat at the sushi bar and was tended to immediately. I asked the hostess if they had half-rolls since I didn't want to do AYCE and only be able to try 2 items. She pointed out a couple of items on the menu that came without rice and/or were 2 or 4 pieces. Perfect. She also said my last roll order could be a half order. (Something I totally forgot when the time came)
I went with her recommendations and tried the Cherry Bomb (spicy tuna topped with avocado). This thing was giant, and oh, so delicious. Then came the Screaming Orgasm (sashimi-style tuna tataki w/ screaming orgasm sauce). I'll just say the name of this item is appropriate. Wow. Next up were the Volcano rolls (salmon, avo, cream cheese, crab inside with whitefish and special sauce outside). This item came 4 rolls to an order, and is quite possibly my new favorite. Absolutely amazing. I finished up with Japanese Lasagne (california roll topped w/cream cheese and sauce and baked), which I had been craving for days. I totally forgot to ask for a half order, and I had serious trouble finishing.
As Victoria mentioned, the sushi chefs are a hoot. From the first guy asking "And then?" after each order to the second guy who asked me why I was even awake so early if I was on vacation. (It was around 1pm!) They both were good sports and I had a great deal of fun joking with them. In fact, I was told that the day before a guy came in for AYCE and polished off TWELVE orders of rolls. TWELVE! I admitted I could not accomplish such a feat, but mentioned my mother probably could. This brought a stern look from my sushi chef, and he advised me to 'never bring your mom here'. Heh.
Stuffed to the gills, I could handle no more food. I turned down dessert and a very kind offer to allow me to nap so when I woke up, I could eat more. I'm still laughing.
As I left, there were the usual cheers of "thank you very much" coupled with a "see you tomorrow"!!
Fun times.
