| - After walking around Encore for a place to eat, we decided on this place. The menu was mainly sushi and we thought "eh, we're in the desert, sushi won't be fresh" and BOY were we wrong!
We didn't have reservations so we put our names down and they took down our cell phone numbers to call us when they have a seat, about a half hour. So we went to another bar nearby for drinks. After the second drink at the bar, they called us and the bartender told us that we can take our drinks to the restaurant, it makes it way around so I walked over with a cocktail to get seated.
While we were waiting to get seated, 2 sets of mom and daughters were giving me dirty looks and laughing at me and made a comment about me wearing a tight dress, when they're all clad in low cut shirts and skirts (If you can't wear a tight dress in Vegas, where can you wear it, right?!!) Then when we got seated, one of the daughters yelled "wtf!?! We were here first!" not knowing that we had been waiting for a half hour but they called to seat us. I think they left because I didn't see them in the restaurant. I didn't need that negative energy around me anyway.
We were seated at the booth in the back wall by the crystal dragon, I was very impressed with it. The pears? not so much, it was a weird theme of golden pears and crystal dragon. Eh well.
Our waitress was this spunky asian woman who knows her stuff and she has a personality and jokes to boot. I loved having her as our waitress, I wish I remembered her name. To start, we got edamame, some cocktails, then we got sushi and a side of pork fried rice because I love that stuff! Everything was phenomenal!
The sushi was so fresh! I don't get it! We're in the desert!?! So why the great sushi!?!? I think it's flown in every day from how it tastes. Goodness! We decided to pace ourselves and eat the pork fried rice and if we were still hungry, we'd order another sushi roll, because it was that good!
We decided against it and got dessert instead. I went with the ice chachang to finish off our meal because it reminds me of Singapore. It was delicious! Needed more shaved ice but I wasn't complaining, the flavors were all there.
Then when we're about to leave, the host offered to get photos of us with our camera and she made sure she got the crystal dragon in the photo as well! Very cool! Great food, great customer service and wonderful decor will get anyone to come back again! We will be back the next time we're in Vegas!
