I've been here a few times now and both times have thoroughly enjoyed myself. When it comes to sushi, I don't do rolls or fried crap so a place needs to offer something special for me to be impressed. Here are some of the things I've loved...
(1) Service. Both times the service has been great and the chefs have been fairly chatty. I really got to know the guy the last time I went.
(2) Baby Octopus Salad - This dish is just yummy. Healthy strips of baby octopus with sesame seeds and not sure what else but I scarf it down.
(3) Uni shooter. I love an Uni Shooter so if a place offers it I'm in.
(4) Live Shrimp - I first discovered this awesome treat in CA. They cut the live shrimp in front of you and serve you the tail meat. They then take the head, flash fry it, and you eat it. SOOOOOOO sweet and yummy!
(5) They always have specials. I love a place that offers stuff off the menu. It shows they care and are trying to be inventive.
I'm not sure why there are bad reviews but they were all from a while back so maybe things have improved. Of all the places I've been in Las Vegas, outside of say Tao or Yellowtail type places, this is by far my favorite. It definitely makes a happy ending to an afternoon of shopping.
