| - Pardon me, but I did come and eat here twice in a week :P Yes I enjoyed it that much to have an AYCE again and eat like a queen, king, the whole kingdom of Suki Land. I have to say this is my favorite AYCE restaurant from all the others in Las Vegas. It's simple, fresh quality nigiri, rice perfectly formed ( not overly packed ), and everything I ate was GOOD, not mediocre... Tasty and satisfying good!!!
Parking could be a hassle on weekends and holidays. Be forewarned.. parking was full in this complex, so I parked in the Chinatown complex nearby Seafood Palace restaurant and minding my own business.. then slap right on my driver side window.. a warning note that my car will be towed next time I park in this area. Damn serious?! This lot is empty late at night, I'm doing this lonely lot a favor by parking here kiddin' me?!!??!! I guess the security guard saw me skipping happily away to Sushi Kaya and he got jelly.. I don't blame him.. I would be so jelly too, knowing I'll be chowing down some real good eats in a few minutes.
Sushi Kaya is tucked in the corner right next to Cafe Noodle & Chinese Barbecue restaurant. If you're not the type that reads signs and banners.. you might as well missed this place and gone to Anime Ramen. I lived here all my life and never even knew about this place until a few of my lovely coworkers decided to eat here after a crazy night at work. Fell in love that night with Kaya.. Sushi Kaya that is. Then came here again a few days after with my Family for my Brother's going away get together.
The owner is extremely kind and welcoming. Took our names and in matter of minutes, we were seated and our server, Juno, that's another story was attentive, patient, and sound in service. Almost like he had sixth sense of when we wanted to order more, to taking finished plates, drinks refilled, to just anything we needed he came around every time to see how we were doing and if we would like to order more. Couldn't have asked for a better server, yet alone a very handsome one :D
We didn't order any rolls, but only nigiri... Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Scallop, Uni, and Sweet Shrimp. All were fresh and delicious. My favorite was the Salmon... never had it like this before.. melts just melts so smoothly in my mouth. We ordered ten orders of Salmon and Tuna. The cuts from the Salmon was the best quality I ever tasted.. Both my parents mentioned about it too. Unfortunately, it was so good that I forgot to take pic of it. Once I saw the dish, I devoured it.. I mean my Family and I killed the nigiri. We were like synchronized machines.. one by one.. nonstop. Finishing everything... Clean.
Raw oysters were fresh & ended with a reviving bite. I insisted that my brother's gf and my mother to eat it all, since I'm single.. know what I mean :P Eh anyways so much more food to enjoy, I just wanted everybody to eat a lot & be happy.
Bacon/asparagus and bacon/scallop... do I need to say more.. flavor madness.. must try!!
Shrimp and calamari tempura had such a light, crisp crunch. Not too oily or salty. The batter they make this in had to be fresh every time. I seriously enjoyed every bite!
Cucumber, Seaweed, and Salmon Skin salad.. sum it up with one word.. Refreshing!!!
My two favorites... Ginkgo nuts and sweet potato diced skewers. I'm not shy to order 20 each and cheerfully finished every single piece. I'm the killa of these two and don't tempt me to strike again, because I will! *chomp chomp chomp
We ordered desserts consisting of: five orders of mini cheesecakes, mocha almond/green tea/red bean ice cream, and green tea/red bean mochi.
In waiting.. I completely forgot I ordered three orders of baked green mussels and the food runner goes.. ooooh are you done with dinner?!!? We all said Yeeeees. Then she goes oooh, but I have your last order of these mussels? Then my whole family looked at me haha I go... it's okay... no problem.. I'll still take it :P Done. It had a caramel finish in taste and cheese topping. Very yummy for my tummy. No problem...
Desserts all came and I ended up finishing all the mini cheesecakes, since my family warned me they couldn't hang anymore.. what I say... No problem.. I'll eat them for you. My Brother keeps saying out loud.. Damn my sister can eat!! Damn right. Weak sauces... nah just kidding. We all did a great job in finishing all our dishes.
From start to finish.. it was a great experience in dining here. Food and service were on point and never at any given moment was it a disappointment. Food came out promptly and never once were we just sitting there without anything to munch on. Always busy eating away!!! Ha! :P
The price is so reasonable and exceptionally affordable compared to other AYCE places. Don't forget to ask for a punch card to redeem after 10 visits :) And best of all.. it's open late hours.. last call I believe is 2:30 in the mooorning, seven days a week. Even the interior design of this place is cozy, love the bird cage looking lamp!
