Several years ago, this use to be a Korean restaurant and now Roy's Raw Deal now occupies it. I was looking to try a different sushi restaurant instead of my usual, "Ken's" on Foothill.
The size is very intimate and the staff were very friendly. Roy always ask if you're allergic to any types of fish and that's very reassuring to know he cares about his customers. It can get busy on the weekends, so it's best to come as early as possible to get a good seat. Patrons are friendly and has the small town feel.
Sushi was very very fresh!
Service was excellent!
On our way back home to California, me and my friend decided to stop by and check out the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. It was a breath of fresh air away from the smokey casino and into the outdoors. Tickets cost $15 per person but you can find cheaper deals at Tix4Less by MGM Grand and the huge Coke bottle.
It's located in the southern part of the hotel by the convention center and Mandalay Bay Beach. It's optional to have a tour remote, I decided to get one because I was too lazy to read the label off every animal. LOL
The Shark Reef reminded me of the Secret Garden of Siegfried and Roy at the Mirage but with bigger cages and aquariums for the animals. Besides the many varieties of fish, they had birds, and reptiles, so that was a fun experience. During the long walk, you are asked if you would like you're picture taken and we said, "YES" just to make this mini vacay memorable.
My favorite part of the tour was looking at the big fish, "Sharks, Sea Turtles, Sting Ray's and my least favorite was dealing with the humidity in some parts of the tunnels. This is a great place to bring kids to learn about ocean life and different animals. I would recommend going to Tix4Less where I bought my Titanic tickets for 20% off the original price, $15 is a bit steep in my opinion.
