| - I would be sad Takeru Kobayashi found out about this place.
Who knew the desert would have good sushi? I stumbled on this place while I was at a convention in Las Vegas. I was sick of hotel and fast food so I goggled the closest sushi place that was off the Strip. Makino was one of the first places that came up and it was at an outlet mall. Since I had time to kill, I decided to have lunch there then do some window shopping. For the price, quality, and variety this place is awesome. They have a wide range of sushi, sashimi, tempura, chicken teriyaki, seafood, & other popular Japanese dishes. If you are an AAA member, stop by the customer service stand and get a coupon book. You can get a free drink which is a 3 dollar savings. Keep in mind there is a 3 hour window to eat at Lunch and Dinner (this is to keep the sushi & sashimi fresh). There's also usually a Japanese tour group that comes thru, but it never affect any waits. This is definitely one of my favorite Japanese places.
A little about my credentials:
I first got into cooking & food when I was in college. After being rejected by numerous girls and getting zero action, I decided it was time for a change. I needed a new makeover to boost my geeky, engineering image. I applied for a cooking position at a Mediterranean-Italian Restaurant near my home and learned to cook all sorts of pastas and dishes. I never became a professional chef, but I continue to enjoy & love food. 8 years later and 55 lbs heavier, I am now an engineer that travels all over the world trying new foods and learning about different cultures.
