| - You only get a handful of chances in life to experience something great for the first time. At Yui, I was introduced to a way of life I feel that not only has history but also a strive for excellence. As a second generation sushi chef, the owner gave us bits of his story very candidly and a window into a collage of his past. To say we felt transported to a small family establishment in the outskirts of Tokyo would be a grave understatement. The fish for the sushi at Yui is flown in daily. "If no fish arrives, we don't open." In addition, the atmosphere is further solidified by the large sushi bar carved from a 650 year old Japanese Cyprus tree, raw with no finish and in one large piece I believe it was 22 feet long. The tables, also raw wood and carved from the same Cyprus wood. Minimal decor and very clean, the ambiance inside Yui is luxurious, eclectic as well as inviting. The menu is simple, after described briefly to us, and we went with the 8 course meal. Here is where I could go on forever as I will forever be impressed with my experience, however, this is Yelp and I will try to simplify my remarks to some extent. First course was a homemade strawberry Sake that soothed the palette in preparation for the delights to come. The sake was a low alcohol, we were told 4% and made from organic strawberries. We also ordered nigiri, an unfiltered sake and I had the green tea service. I forget some of the order of the 8 courses but we had a soup, an appetizer which I will provide a photo of, a grilled plate, sashimi, sushi prepared in front of us with the freshest most delicious fish I have ever seen or tasted, a hand roll and dessert. The types of fish change daily I imagine to some extent, but I tried things that I have never even heard of before and a few exotics that I never imagined I would get the chance. Sea urchin and blowfish really stand out for mention here as well as a melty fatty tuna I believe it was called hamagachi toro, but please forgive me if this is wrong because I am writing from memory and did not photograph the menu for some silly reason( I never thought too). The service was more friendly and professional than I have ever experienced before and I have lived for and it worked in service my entire adult life. I can only describe the service as a vast cultural difference and must be experienced and applauded for its genuine nature. From the coat check to the final goodbyes Yui provides another world in our wonderfully diverse lifestyle that is Las Vegas, Nevada. Save up your money and make this a night to remember. The cost is worth the adventure. I want to go back as soon as I can.
