  • The Yusho stands for YU SHOuld not go to this place. At first i saw the sign and i was super excited I could not wait for this place to open it's doors because i love Japanese style grilling. Yakitori and Robatayaki is the best and they have noodles too? Bonus!!!! Every time i drove by the sign "Yusho Japanese Grill & Noodle House" I could just imagine myself eating tender cuts of charred chicken and steak off of skewers and then slurping up delicious noodles bathed in brothy goodness. My mouth would water just at the thought of it.- I could not wait for this place to open its doors because it's such a perfect combo and there really is nobody on the strip doing this at a reasonable price. BOOOM!....AWAKEN FROM THE DREAM..... As i walked in i noticed was there was a lot of outdoor patio furniture clumsily arranged in front of the entrance...uh oh i felt a disturbance in the Japanese Feng Shui force. Making my way into the restaurant i was greeted immediately by a very friendly staff, perhaps too friendly........... The restaurant has a very simple atmosphere, not reminiscent of any kind street food dining i have ever encountered. It's more like this cafeteria i went to at Depauw University in Indiana that i was visiting back in 1998. Dark wood colors and a blend of white and yellow light that is confusing, mixed with bad fabrics and colors that don't match. What ever happened to the good ol Japanese Feng Shui? I am not a feng Shui expert but if i was i would give it 1 Feng on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being a perfect Feng Shui. There was definitely no Feng Shui Consultant involved in any part of the design of this place. The articles have praised Yusho as a high end elevated take on Japanese street food. When i think of Japanese street food i think of carts lining the streets with smoke bellowing off grills as delicious cuts of meat on skewers are charring on the grill and ladles of noodles and steamy bowls of brothy goodness are being served in big bowls to a bustling crowd of hungry folk who only have a 15 minute lunch break. Our order of elevated Japanese street food: Chub sausage steamed bun -- No elevation here it was just terrible couldn't eat more than one bite. Terrible blood sausage. Since when is Sweet and Gritty good? I still get a little sick just thinking about it. Duck Leg w Steam Bun -- No elevation-- pretty standard on this if you want a little duck and some bread and you have $25 to spare this will do. If i was stuck on a deserted island with only a Yusho restaurant to survive i would probably just eat these. Chicken Wings-- No elevation I like my wings with a little crispiness to them...there was no crispiness... These were slimy and stuffed with a filling that made it taste like a chicken meatball more than a wing. No Yakitori or Robatayaki flavor goodness present. Ramen Noodles-- Probably the worst non elevation--- Precariously balancing on the bowl was a rectangular meat stick of what tasted like Panko crumb fried Bumble Bee Tuna. .... .......We were told it was pork. Much better places for ramen in Vegas and at $22 for a small bowl this one made me really wish i could just beam myself out of there immediately. Where's a federation starship when you need one? The hosts, server, busser provided excellent service. Since this restaurant is part of the hotel we used our points for the meal and wanted to put a nice tip on a credit card because our waitress was the best ever and it's not her fault she has a terrible product to work with. In comes a clueless aggressive girl manager who said they could not charge a tip on a credit card for the server and when i asked what they do when this happens she said that she encourages customers not to leave a tip. She reminded me of an angry badger. After a brief exchange of words where i educated her on the concept of protecting her staff. She scampered away to try again and hallelujah she figured it out! Obviously this is her first time as a restaurant manager. Sorry awesome staff your inexperienced angry badger manager is too lazy to help get you tips and is definitely the nail in the coffin for this place. If this food was not elevated i think the tourists would like it and there would be a chance of success. Tourists won't like the food and when they have an issue the badger will crush them. It's just unbelievable that this "elevated" street food is elevated by non other than Matthias Merges the executive chef from the infamous Charlie Trotters in Chicago- Arguably the greatest restaurant in modern Chicago History. The only thing elevated about this place is the price. Mathias, i think it would be wise to make it an authentic Japanese street food experience. Change the menu and concept and fire the clueless manager! Overpriced, non elevated bad food, dull atmosphere, with good staff except for the badger. YU SHOuld say Sayonara to Yusho.
