Refreshing food in the desert heat! however service is as slow as molasses.
The GOOD:
Yellow tail tar tar
- my FAVORITE DISH of the meal. there was tempura crackers with rice and pico de gallo in the middle, with raw yellow tail bits spread on top, with a yummy tangy (ponzu?) sauce. there was just lots of textures and flavors to this dish which kept it interesting with every bite.
Tuna Tofu Salad
- a refreshing hawaiian style poke salad with soft tofu (like the corean kind you would find in soup) a great change from all the meat and steaks that you get on the strip
The OK:
Red Snapper Carpaccio
- as decent as sushi can get, when you are in the desert. the bed of veggies it came on was nice and cripsy and soaked up just the right amount of ponzu sauce
Beef Tongue Stirfry
- it actually come out on a sizzling stoneware. OMG lots of garlic! i love fried garlic chips in my food, its always a great addition. the tongue meat is super lean, however it is pretty tough to chew.
The MEH:
Mini okominoyaki
- took very long to cook and still turned out very eggy like an omelette instead of a pancake. Good flavor with the bacon ( Japanese pork belly sliced thin and not cured or salty like the american one), sauce, and ginger
Service was almost unbearably slow for a small place with 2-3 hostess or servers. good luck trying to get your check or get your server's attention. they look your way but pretend not to see you.
Overall however, this is a great place if you want to get away from all the steaks and butter
