I wanted to find a place close to MGM for my wife's birthday dinner because we were going to see a show there. She loves sushi and I found this place when I searched. What a Find!
It's a very small, quaint restaurant with jazz playing in the back ground.
I knew we were in the right place when all of the other customers were Japanese and seemed like repeat customers.
You can see the chef preparing the food and can tell he has been doing this for a long time. To me, its very reassuring when you see someone like him in the kitchen.
The server was amazing. I didn't get her name but she is older and makes you feel like you are a guest in her home.
She had the eel roll which was delicious and I'm not a fan of eel. I had the spicy tuna roll and the tuna collar. The chef only uses the highest quality sushi available and it shows.everything we ordered was delicious.
She also brought us some fresh wasabi, it was amazing and blows away the paste you see everywhere else.
I have to say, the tuna collar was the best I have ever had. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly, so moist and juicy. I did my best to eat it with chopsticks but my Italian upbringing took over and I had to just dig in and use my hands. I might have looked like a neanderthal but it was worth every delicious bite. BTW, if you ever see tuna collar on a menu, GET IT!
She brought us some fresh blood oranges with the check. What a delicious ending of a great meal!
We will definitely be back!
