| - I went to Yokohama Kaigenro on a Sat. for lunch.
This shop in a run down strip mall next to Hard Rock has a Japanese chef and staff. The restaurant has 3 booths and tables to seat about 56, with sushi bar counter seating another 7. The menu has many Japanese fare including Ramen and Sushi. There were 4 other groups when I entered. 3 of the 4 groups were Japanese.
Today, I tried the Ramen since I have not found a good Ramen place in Vegas yet. I tried the Char Siu Men, Queen size. I liked the Queen size as it was just the right size for me. Some people may think this is 1/2 size ramen ;-) The Men (noodle) is medium thick, with good consistency. The soy based soup is nothing spectacular, but not bad. Other than Char Siu, this Ramen came with sliced grilled garlic, bok choy, memma (bamboo shoots), green onions, and 1/2 boiled egg.
Definitely better than Togoshi, but still leaves a bit to be desired.
I also tried one pair of sushi. I ordered hamachi. @ $5.50 it is a bit pricey, but the quality of the fish was excellent with sufficient fattyness, and did not have the "frozen many times" consistency I found at Sushi Twister. The size is good, the rice firm and not mushy with the appropriate vinegar seasoning, and wasabi was included between the rice and fish.
Based on this, I would have to come back here for their sushi lunch special again, as I think this so far may be the best sushi I have had in Vegas.
