So many sushi spots in Henderson, more than I expected.
So mom refuses to eat sushi without me so she waited until I came to visit and here was our time. We came for lunch on a Sunday. This place is located in a non descript industrial ish shopping mall. We walked in and were greeted immediately. We were able to sit wherever we liked and we sat in the booth. Service was nice and the whole vibe in there was chill and we loved their light fixtures. Very modern feel.
So we looked over the menu and the have ALOT of maki roll options. I'm usually not a roll fan but I as persuaded to get on of their specials and my Mom was drooling over the pictures on Yelp of their dish called the Green monster. So that was a no brainer to order this :) We also ordered , soft shell crab, scallop dynamite, ono sashimi, shrimp killer roll and one of their specials which I forgot the name.
SO, the critique of the food. The soft shell crab and scallop dynamite came out first. The soft shell was actually one of the most disappointing soft shells I've had. It wasn't crispy enough and the consistency was just off. The scallop dynamite looked yummy and my mom enjoyed it. It could have been thicker or used to be a topper on a bed of rice. The prices of their ono sashimi were more than reasonable. I was so happy they had Ono, because 9 times out of 10, places list it on the menu but never have it! Pisses me off. They had it, it was fresh and cut nice and thick! So damn good, I should have ordered two orders. Gotta get this fish when I can! My mom's shrimp killer was made neat but could have been saucier. This was a little dry for her liking. The green monster was BOMB, it was like a dome filled with crab meat and the outer was sliced avocado, tempura flakes and fried onions with a nice drizzle of eel sauce and spicy Japanese mayo. My mom made love to this and enjoyed it so much she took the rest home :p I'd get this again easily. My specialty dish was crispy black rice topped with spicy tuna, lotus chips, wasabi roe and a lovely drizzle of eel sauce and Japanese mayo. This was good and I loved the fact that the crispy rice as cut super thick like most crispy rice dishes. Nice texture of crunchy and smooth with the spicy tuna.
This place is super authentic but it satisfied my mom's American maki sushi cravings and that's all that matters to me :p
