Good value if you were to compare sushi buffets in Vegas. Something about sushi and Vegas is an oxymoron. Seriously, I love sushi in more coastal and metro cities like SF, LA, Boston, so I'm a bit wary of sushi in a desert like Vegas. But after my last 2 visits to Vegas where we intentionally avoided the hotel buffets, Makino was on my list.
The sushi was ok, but avoid the maki hand roll. Nasty! I actually nearly choked on it. Turns out it was the stem of the avocadoactually in the roll!
Other than that, the tempura is excellent as well as other Japanese dishes. The desserts are excellent too. The chocolate fondue fountain and the unique signature parfait desserts are worth saving room for.
Would I come here again? Hmmmm, maybe. I would rather check out the one in LA or go back to the one in Hawaii. I think it's a challenge to do an AYCE sushi place in Vegas.
OVerall, hubby liked it and Son really liked the shave ice! He had two!
I would recommend eating here first and then working if off by shopping in the mall!
