With tickets to a show at MGM Grand Casino, we arrived early to find a restaurant to try out. I'm glad we stumbled upon Shibuya. Luckily we didn't need reservations on a Friday night at around 7:30pm.
I wouldn't consider myself an expert at Japanese cuisine & Sushi, however it is among my favorite cuisines after Indian, Thai and Vietnamese. The waiter was top notch and offered a perfect selection of sake to accompany the dinner. The atmosphere was also hip and sexy. Behind the sushi bar was a large multi-screen piece of video art with hundreds of mirrors and glass pieces. The design was constantly changing and was an enjoyable part of the dinner.
I went all out and ordered the Chef's tasting menu for around $120 (for one person), which included 7 plates.
My plates included a kampachi/hamachi, lobster and scallop dish, kobe beef, yellowtail sashimi, braised kobe short ribs, and dessert. I wish I'd have take detailed notes about everything I ate. It's just too much to write about.
Great atmosphere along with amazing food and service! I'll be back when my wallet recovers! I can't decide between 4-5 stars, so make it 4.5
