| - This place is a solid 2.5 so I have to be fair and round it up to a 3 star...
a. Location - 5 star - On the southwest corner of Warm Springs and Eastern, very accessible from most parts of the valley. For us, it was a 10 minute easy drive from Henderson.
b. Ambiance - 2 Star - A bit spartan in terms of feel and decor, however, that is cool. I would say the music was both loud and obnoxious. Not sure how / why you would want your clients to dine in loud punkish modern music that is neither food for the soul or nurturing. It was also loud enough that it nearly impeded conversation.
c. Service - 2 Star - We got here at 6:00 and ordered two Bento type dishes and two AYCE sushi which comprised of about 5-6 choices. Took about 50 minutes to get the first sushi after the two that had the Bento type boxes had theirs for about 15 minutes. I find that rather odd. Also, when I asked for hot Green Tea, I was advised that they did not have green tea, but another kind. I asked....is it Genmaicha and she came back with the little sweet tea bag that said genmaicha. Well, I think I am a bit stuffy tea drinker because I like this type of tea in it's real form, a whopping two teaspoons of loose roasted rice and barley and tea leaves in a pot to steep and all the flavors of this very tasty tea. Coming out of a tea bag..... nah.
d. Food - 2 star - besides getting to us so late, here is the dealio:
- Bento Box with Teriyaki Beef - The beef was so dry and thin and overcooked and over sauced, it tasted like Costco Teriyaki Beef Jerky dipped in soy sauce. Wow. Both over powering and salty.
- Amaebi - This is a special dish I love because of the fresh raw shrimp and then the fried shrimp heads. Where were the fried shrimp heads? Come on, you cannot serve this dish half axx. This is totally a boo hoo disappointing disaster.
- Maguro - I love to have Maguro Nigiri Sushi with a thin slice of lemon and thin slice of jalepeno. It really makes the taste perfect. When you serve this with a SPAM size chunk of lemon and jalepeno, it actually over powers the Maguro and well, nigiri is all about complimentary and simple flavors, so this was a complete miss. I had to remove all the lemon slices and jalepeno to make the maguro edible.
- Miso Cod, Hamachi Collar, Star Fish, Daisho Roll, Wild Fire, Mexican, All the rolls were edible and uninspired. It did not help that they serve these sushi on huge American size platters instead of smaller plates that match. It was hard to fit plates onto our table, and it was very unappetizing.
e. Overall - 2 star - really? Food was barely adequate. Not prepared properly, Japanese is all about presentation and the food was poorly presented. I was really shocked because after reading the review s I was raving to go celebrate my BD at this place and instead, I felt more like I compromised. Worst part is that the place was empty for about 40 minutes and service was poor, then it was packed as so many groups came in, I had to go from shy asian boy to obnoxiously loud demanding diner boy and keep pushing for service, food and the bill...
I was shocked! DAISHO in japanese means big victory or soaring large. This place needs to change its name to something else....
GK says, OK, I was a year older and depressed. Go check this place out. I will come here again and give it a second chance. It was all me the first time........ Fried Shrimp Heads, here I come...
