| - It's pretty rare I get excited about food. I'll eat it, I'll assess it, I'll write a Yelp review. But rare that I get an emotional reaction from it. This Saturday that all changed!
My girlfriends and I went here - one of whom had already been and was talking it up; she was right because It did NOT disappoint!
I was revealed that the atmosphere was chill, laid back, friendly, and welcoming. Not like the stuffy sushi places closer to the strip. Our server, Charles, was friendly, funny , and prompt with our orders. There was a lot of confusion and talk about what to order. He quickly stepped in and made the suggestion that the chef could present some cold and warm dishes at his recommendation until we were full. Sold!!!
Since I can't find the menu online, I'm going to recall the dishes as best I can:
Yellowtail Yuzu Soy - Texture like butter. So fresh, you wouldn't think it was fish. Love the tempura jalapeno on top.
Gyoza - I HAVE to get gyoza at sushi time. Love this gyoza. Beef was fresh and moist. Not dried out and greasy. Very well done!
Mussels: I can't believe more people that wrote reviews didn't try this dish. Don't be afraid people!!!! These were incredible
Live soft shell crab - not actually live, but very very fresh. Crab was fried served over a bed of fancy salad ("fancy" meaning it wasn't just crappy iceberg lettuce). The sauce that came on the dish with this was incredible. Spicy but not too spicy. This one had a perfectly balanced textures and flavors.
Salmon Sashimi - It had pop rocks on it!!!!! So weird, but really amazing.
I wish I could remember everything we ate. The servers were great. They kept checking on our appetite level. He wasn't pushy about desert or drinks, which was nice. The price for all of us was incredibly reasonable considering the quality of the food. We walked away paying about $45/person. I consider that a steal for this place.
I had such a great experience here. I have been blabbing about it to everyone. I CANNOT wait to come back and try some new things.
