| - Great choice for date night sushi in Vegas!
Reservations are easy to make (even on the day of), and the restaurant is great at honoring any requests you may have as far as what type of table you prefer. My husband and I prefer to sit in a booth along the back wall overlooking the dining room because it is quieter and more intimate than sitting in the main dining room. Everything on the menu is priced pretty reasonably, especially considering the quality of the food and the prime location of the restaurant. It may be less expensive to dine here because it's not as flashy or as trendy as other spots, but the quality of the food does not disappoint.
Service was friendly and quick during our meal, and we noticed that there were lots of runners and additional staff moving around to keep the food moving quickly from the sushi bar to your table, and to make sure that your water glass never goes empty. Before we ordered, our server recommended a few items on the new Robata menu, so we tried them. The asparagus was outstanding! One portion is perfect for two adults to share - and the miso topping smothered on top was out of this world delicious!!! Order it. Trust me!
We also tried a variety of traditional rolls and sashimi, but the yellowtail rolls and sashimi stood out as our favorite. The menu does not have a huge variety of specialty or unique rolls, but the sushi bar items that they do offer are executed so well you don't miss all of the crazy sauces and toppings. We also tried sorbet for dessert, and the lychee and coconut flavors were our favorites. The server told us that all of their sorbets were made with coconut milk, so while they tasted light and refreshing, there was also a bright decadence about them that really filled us up. I will say that there was more rice on the rolls than I would have preferred, so next time we will look to see if they offer any rolls wrapped without rice, or just request less rice on the rolls we do order.
Overall we really enjoyed Japonais and would definitely recommend it.
Cheers!
