| - There are soooo many sushi restaurants here in Vegas and I usually go to a spot that is recommended by friends and family. This place was recommended by my friend's colleague.
Located in a prime location --Towne Square, this is the perfect place to end a day of shopping. While no shopping was involved on this particular day, my husband and I thought we would venture into Towne Square and see if we could get a table at Kabuki's. We only had to wait 15 minutes (on a Friday night) and while waiting, enjoyed a few drinks in the bar area.
To my delight, they had Hamachi Kama which is the cheek of the fish both tasty and grilled just right. We also ordered a half dozen of the Hamahama oysters, gyoza, several pairs of ahi, salmon, ikura (salmon roe), ama ebi, and a quail egg shooter ( a a raw quail egg in ponzu sauce). Everything tasted very fresh. I normally don't order any rolls as I just enjoy nigiri or sashimi, however there was one roll that caught my eye: the Geisha roll. Unfortunately, I had no room to add to my tummy so that will have to wait for my next visit which will happen very soon. Service was great, food was wonderful and atmosphere was nice, not too bright and not too dark.
I am giving 4 stars as I have still not found a better sushi restaurant than Shiro's in Seattle. While the fish was fresh here at Kabuki's, it still did not have the melt-in-your-mouth experience as Shiro's. However, Kabuki's is at the top of my list here in Vegas for sushi. I will be back for happy hour and that Geisha roll!
