| - As you can see from my other reviews, I have a serious problem with sushi restaurants without real Japanese roots. This restaurant is a perfect example of that. There are no Japanese wait staff, and when looking at the menu options, I cannot believe any self-respecting Japanese restaurant would serve these "fake" sushi items. I understand the clientele they are going after, and they are mostly not hard-core sushi experts, but when I pay $150 for a sushi dinner, I expect much more than rolls and sticky sashimi. The nigiri was poorly made; I couldn't see the sushi chefs so I cannot speak of their authenticity, but the rice was too hard, and the fish tasted sticky. This is a sign of bad fish. Yes, we are in the middle of desert, what's the big deal? A restaurant should know factors working for and against them. Opening a sushi restaurant in the middle of desert (not a good idea), provide not fresh fish (even worse idea). On the other hand, I have visited other Japanese restaurants outside of the strip which were amazingly good, so I know good, fresh sushi is doable even in Vegas. It was not a busy evening, but I waited over 40 minutes for my meal to arrive, what are they doing? Catching fish out in the sand or something? Yes, I did pay for $150 for my dinner here, and I even brought a menu home just so I can share the ridiculous prices with my family and friends.
I will probably frame it and put it on my wall of shame as the most ridiculous Japanese restaurants I have been to.
