| - When I saw a new AYCE sushi place had opened up, I knew I had got to try it at one point or another. Not only did they have AYCE SUSHI, they had AYCE tapas along with it! So when my friends came to visit me, we all went to Doh to try them out.
Let me start out by saying that Doh gives off a very modern vibe, in fact, it doesn't even look like a Japanese restaurant to me if it weren't for the sushi bar in the back. And surprisingly, it took them a tad bit longer than necessary to give us a menu and take our drink preferences down.
I don't know about everyone else but for me, when I look at the menu, it is more than obvious that their nigiris are not the star of the show. The nigiris and sashimi only take up a corner of the menu. While their variety of rolls took over the rest of the menu and on the other side of the menu is their variety of tapas. I was a little disappointed because I am a raw fish eater. However, I am quite glad that they had some out-of-the-traditional rolls because one of my friends is a roll eater and then the tapas was perfect for my non-sushi friend.
Now let's get down to business:
Salmon sashimi. I believe there is a one sashimi order per person rule and I LOVE salmon. However, the ones that Doh served me were not up to my standards. Fresh? Maybe. Quality? No bueno. I bit into it and ... it took work. It was stringy -- not sure if that's the right word for it since I only know the Chinese term. Not only that but it wasn't quite as flavorful as I expect salmon to be.
Squid nigiri. I was actually expecting this to come out like the one in the picture, with the squid design and everything ... alas, that is not what came out. So I asked the server about it and he said that the squid nigiri only comes out like that if it was an a-la-carte order. Well, okay then. Though, he was really nice and offered to see if the chefs can make an order for me with the squid design, and they did. I was very grateful and happy! It looked good but they made it quite ... huge. It was a little awkward trying to eat it.
Uni. It was a really odd experience for me when I was eating these at Doh. I'm VERY picky with uni because I can't stand uni that isn't FRESH (which is like all of the ones in Vegas amirite?) One of the uni pieces was not fresh -- tasted like salty ocean water with no sweetness to it. On the other hand, the other piece, was actually just fine.
Aannnndddd with that concludes my raw sushi adventure at Doh. The salmon sashimi just completely turned me off to trying any other nigiris.
Butterfly roll. I do believe this is the roll that has peanut butter in it. I applaud the creativity behind this but no, just no. For me, when I taste peanut butter, I'm expecting to taste some bread with jam along with it. This completely threw my senses into a spinning room. It just didn't mesh well with the ingredients either. I was either tasting the other ingredients in the roll or the peanut better. It doesn't combine well. It also filled me up quite fast.
WTH roll. This is supposed to be a spicy type of roll. I had asked the server if this roll was better or the "Nuts on Fire" and he recommended this one. Unfortunatelyt, I don't really remember much about this roll other than the fact that it was huge and I can't put a whole piece in my mouth. I ate the top and the bottom separately so I can't really give a good description of whether or not it was good.
Plum Ice Cream. STAY AWAY FROM THIS. THIS TASTE LIKE BUBBLE GUM WITH A HINT OF PLUM. I couldn't really stomach this down :(
One of my friends ordered their Las Vegas roll and something else -- can't quite remember which one. Then the other friend ordered a bunch of katsu and meat from the tapas.
There wasn't really a tapa dish that stood out to us aside from the Vegas toast. The Vegas toast is pretty much toast with ham and cheese then deep fried. It was done nicely and we ordered like 3 of these haha. Not really what you call Japanese cuisine but hey, whatever is good.
To top it off, service is a little on the slow side. I normally don't really pay much attention to it when I'm with friends cause we're usually chatting up a storm. However, we were doing an AYCE option so there IS a TIME LIMIT. I was a bit worried but that's about it.
Overall, this place is average. If you are a RAW SUSHI EATER, I don't believe that Doh is a very good option. But if you are eating with a bunch of people and you all have different preferences, this is a pretty good place. For those that don't like sushi can eat tapas and for those who do like sushi have a bunch to choose from.
