I came here due to all the reviews of the Honey Toast. I'm a dessert girl, so I HAD to try it!
Kinda hard to find, since it is on the upper level of a complex down the street from Vegas' "chinatown". We made reservations for 5:30pm, they open at 5 so the place wasn't packed like some of the revews here stated. The place was very small, and definitely a hole-in-the-wall type of place, not fancy at all (just a heads up if you were expecting something fancy! It's very casual). Servers were friendly and helpful when questioned about what to order.
Although they did have the usual sushi and sashimi selections, other items on the menu were definitely not for people who like americanized asian food (they had gizzards, beef tongue, liver and such foods not for the faint of heart!). They also had ramen, which sounded interesting from the description, and hopefully not JUST the cheap ramen u can buy at the supermarket. One of the reasons why I liked this place is because it had more variety of stuff that you can't find at the typical japanese restaurant.
Our waitress recommended the black cod, which was excellent. I love fish, and it was really good. It was a very small portion, though, and it did not come with anything except a dab of some stuff that looked and tasted like pureed radish, which was also good. I noticed that the portions here in general were pretty small. My BF ordered sushi that the waitress recommended as well, which were small sushi stacked sandwich-style between crunchy wonton-type things, which I thought was an interesting presentation. Don't remember the name of it, but it was good.
I didn't see a dessert menu, and didn't ask for one cause I knew I came here to try the honey toast for dessert. I agree with the reviews, it WAS really good. The waitress said it takes about 15 min to come out so order it early if you don't want to wait. The ingredients were very simple - it's a block of crusty bread, very soft and warm on the inside, with butter, honey, and a scoop of Vanilla ice cream. I could probably make a similar version at home. Definitely made to share between at least 2 people. If you love bread, butter, honey, and ice cream, it is definitely worth coming here to try it.
This is a nice place for a small group, we sat comfortably in a group of 4. Anything bigger seems that it would either be a long wait to sit or long wait for the food. Towards the end of our meal, I could feel the staff watching us waiting for us to finish, and felt like we were rushed out. I did have a good food experience here though, and will definitely return to try more things on the menu. Maybe I'll get enough courage to try the beef tongue next time!
