| - OVERALL: 8.9/10 (Yelp conversion: 5/5). Average based on the breakdown at the bottom of this review.
The AYCE here (for dinner) is extremely #worth if you can break even by eating at minimum 2 premium rolls (for example, $9.95 each for the sashimi or rainbow), and at least two orders of the premium 2pc sushi (for example, $4.95 for each of the oyster / salmon belly / uni). Everything else ordered past that (per person) is worth it since you already broke even (based on the a la carte prices on the menu, which are incredibly pricey for the portion sizes).
I was a party of 1 and there was an end seat at the sushi bar, which I gladly took. This made ordering extremely easy - I was in and out within 30 minutes of arriving, even after waiting 5 minutes after putting my name in the queue (4 parties ahead of me, all of size 2 or greater).
After tax, the AYCE dinner came out to $28.03 (pre-tip). My experience was great, since the sushi chef was extremely attentive and helpful at describing what was good, although this may have been due to me sitting directly in front of him at the sushi bar.
1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 7/10. Had a decent selection & offering, but this is Las Vegas, which is in a landlocked state, and no access to fresh fish - you get what your geography gives you.
2) FRESHNESS: 8/10. Again, it's land-locked, don't go in expecting Kashiba-level freshness. This isn't near a farmer's market, nor is it going to taste as fresh as one.
3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 10/10. If I ordered the equivalent meal off of the a-la-carte menu (which is the same as the AYCE menu, but you pay the listed price instead of the AYCE price), I would have had to pay closer to $78, given that each of the premium rolls are $9.95 (I ordered 4), the 2pc sushi dishes were $4.95 each (I ordered 6), and other dishes ranged from $2.95 (cheaper sushi pieces) to $14.50 (Seafood Salad).
4) SERVICE: 9.5/10. This is somewhat biased since I was sitting at the sushi bar, and the sushi chef I could order from was literally serving only me and a few table orders (despite the place being packed to the point of a wait list). The wait staff weren't super attentive, and the -0.5 stars is from my water being not refilled for over 20 minutes (even though the wait staff camped behind me since that's where the point-of-sale device was).
5) PRICE: 10/10. I didn't eat lunch and wanted something filling, given that I had hiked this entire day. Needless to say, $33 including tip for an all-you-can-eat sushi meal is a bargain.
The atmosphere and decor is somewhat nice too; the TV was playing K-Pop songs the entire time I was there (I saw "Gentleman" and "Hangover" by PSY, as well as some K-Pop male idol group whose name escapes me). Interesting that a Japanese restaurant plays so much K-Pop.
I'll visit again next time I'm in town - great recommendation if you're craving AYCE sushi in Las Vegas!
