| - Karved, now open for about a month, is a very welcomed addition to the strip mall that Vegas-favorite sushi spot Sakana also calls home to. In an already tight parking lot, there will soon be less parking once the majority of Vegas learns about this delicious joint.
Quite possibly the star of the menu is their Porchetta sandwich. One of the staff (possibly the owner?) walked me through the steps it took to create this flavorful masterpiece. Totaling a three to four hour process, pork tenderloin is first rolled inside pork belly, then cooked rotisserie-style, and sliced up into juicy, tender pieces. These are tossed into a fresh, chewy baguette slathered with a lemon caper gremolata spread and some greens. If that isn't enough, pork cracklins are tossed over the sandwich to add a nice crunch to the mix. It's just a burst full of flavor and truly makes this one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life.
My wife and I also enjoyed the combo Peruvian Chicken and Beef tri-tip combo platter with potatoes, rice, and brussel sprouts on the side. Three sauces were all sampled and three sauces were well-liked. Hot, aji verde, and garlic all accentuated the flavors of the meat. The portions were generous enough to eat for lunch and have saved some left over for dinner.
The staff members were attentive, friendly, and thankful. Likewise, I am thankful for this small establishment for bringing another fantastic food option here in Las Vegas.
