| - Great Vegas style sushi.
Yes, Vegas style. It's over the top, creative, playful, sultry and seductive... like a lap dance. This IS the 25 ingredient roll with fillings, toppings, raw sitting next to cooked, crunchy next to soft, all smothered in sauces but it works and hides the fact that the seafood is not the freshest or highest quality. Nice.
Fancy rolls are not my personal preference for sushi (I'm a purist) but when in Rome, errr Vegas; Lucky Fish represents.
In general:
Rice: Sticky and under seasoned. A good thing. It's the neutral "glue" that makes up less than 30 percent of a roll and holds it together.
Fish: Previously frozen but is thinly sliced so it doesn't matter. Just another ingredient.
Crab: Canned but at least not imitation.
Shrimp Tempura (for rolls): Crisp. Not excessively oily.
Mayo: American style.
Sauces: Bold flavors. Unusually thin and wet. Wait too long and the rolls disintegrate.
In the end, it is what it is. Good, creative sushi all prettied up. Large portions at reasonable prices. Laid back, strip mall ambiance. Friendly, efficient service.
Note: The menu has a lot of non sushi, Korean selections (not the traditional Japanese selections you would expect). Have not tried any yet.
One of the better players in the Vegas sushi scene. Recommended.
