Sushi Avenue has opened their second location inside Sante Fe Station! It's a little smaller than the S. Grand Canyon location (my usual stop) but the sake lounge is great, it's a bit quieter, the atmosphere is still chic and the prices are still amazing. Bruce Lee is by far one of the most innovative and talented sushi chefs I have met and I have come to adore all of his creations! When I heard that the new location was up and running I made it a point to stop in and check it out during my last Vegas trip.
A couple of my friends and I dropped by here on a Friday night and were seated immediately, of course we did call ahead to make sure we had seats set aside...the service was great, we had our drinks, soup and cucumber salad within a minute of being seated. We sat at the bar so we could order from Bruce and talk with the chefs while our food was being prepared.
The food: I ordered the Screaming Orgasm...this dish is so accurately named....seared tuna with a spicy garlic sauce...it's absolutely amazing and I can't help but give a deserved "o" face with every bite! We ordered baked green mussels...so tender and delicious! Our Nacho Roll was mango, tomato and tuna on taro chips...I could have done without the taro chips and stayed with the tortilla chips that the other Sushi Avenue location serves. But the mango and tuna is a nice combination. Everything we had was fresh....so FRESH!
The service: same as usual...fast, fun, friendly! Although I could have done without Bruce trying to hook me up with one of his younger chefs. Thanks!
The point: This is by far one of the best sushi places I have been to in a LONG time! Prices are awesome, sushi is great, service is fun!! Sushi Avenue is one of the highlights of my Vegas trips. GO THERE!!!
