| - Let me start by saying that I don't eat beef or pork.
When you walk in you are greeted by counters of marbled meat and dead piglets hung by their feet.
I didn't expect anything less, I knew what I was getting myself into.
It was my husbands 31st birthday and we were here for the certified Japanese wagyu- grade A5
We frequent Japan just to go eat for a few weeks so when we heard we had a legit supplier in town I just knew I had to get my husband and my Japanese gma in here.
THIS PLACE IS NOT CHEAP... but it is cheaper than flying to Japan.
Service is impeccable. Decor is odd, calming, amazing,and fun all at the same time.
Greeted by numerous staff members throughout the evening that seemed truly proud to be representing this chef.
We ordered all kind of stuff throughout the night but a few things did stand out:
The salmon appetizer, JUST ORDER IT.
Salmon "tartar" which is actually just chunks of raw salmon and salmon roe atop avocado w/ furikake, served with nori chips. IT WAS SOOOOOOOO TASTY. My gma and I are fully prepared just to stop by for this and cocktail sometime in the future.
Uni w/ lemon foam was good if you like sea urchin, which I do. I enjoyed watching them prep it
*You can walk to different kitchen areas and watch the chefs and talk with them
Crab something or other salad- good, flavors that I wasn't very familiar with but throughly enjoyed the little kick
My grandmother and husband were raving about the Wagyu tenderloin
* I need to point out that THEY SERVED IT WITH A BONSAI TREE
I think that was pretty special... you don't even get that in Japan
But it was cooked table side just how they requested and my gma couldn't believe she can have this quality in Las Vegas. No more 12 hour flights for killer beef.
I ordered a 3 pound fish... it was good to ok... very fresh natural flavors which left me with a lot of fish and a lot of bland. I did get a few pieces of the skin and they were simply to die for but it left me wanting more. The amazing flavors that were seasoned on the skin, unfortunately did not permeate to the meat of the fish.
YOU MUST ORDER THE BUTTERY MASHED POTATOES.
butter, with butter, with more butter .... or something like that was the description.
THIS SIDE IS TO DIE FOR!!!!
We ordered some other things that weren't really worth mentioning.... but the salad dressing ( lemon flavored) def was worth a quick mention.
Dessert- Have them bring over the dessert cart so you can peruse over some of the tasty bon bons. We tried the staffs recommendations and I loved the yuzu based bon bon, as well as the poprock/hazelnut.
