| - My husband and I were searching for a new AYCE sushi place last friday night. Have driven by Lahaina Grill many times without stopping in. Read some yelp reviews and decided to give it a shot.
Great sushi, fun atmosphere, fantastic service!
We sat at the sushi bar. Happy to report that the sushi chefs are friendly, open to suggestions and very quick with our order. Liked that there was no time limit, draft beers are only $1 with AYCE (we love Stella but have NEVER found it for $1 anywhere in Vegas) and they didn't overstuff the sushi with rice.
They were a bit limited on the nigiri selections and we were disappointed to get unagi served cold and uncrispy. But, the salmon nigiri was buttery and delicious and yellowtail wonderful too. Loved their roll selections, especially the jalapeno roll. Not too spicy for my husband and the flavors were great.
Best order of the night.......a spicy tuna roll (nigiri style, not chopped) with level 20 spiciness. Not habanero hot, but very delicious. Hot the spot for me and the sushi chef was pleased that I enjoyed my order instead of "not being able to handle the heat".
And our server was so energetic and fun! Checked in on us regularly to ensure we had drinks, were enjoying our sushi. Really nice guy who obviously enjoys his job.
FYI to all you yelp readers!!!! They are discontinuing the AYCE after Valentines Day and replacing it with Hawaiian tapas, so if you like AYCE with a good atmosphere, fun sushi chefs and good food, go SOON!
