| - Ok, whoever told you that this place wasn't worth checking out.....smack them right now! This place is by far the best sushi I've ever encountered in Vegas, and that my friend is no lie. (All right let me not say best, since I'm always on the search for the best. Let's see the best by far) Not only is their sushi amazing, but so is their interior decorating. It's a little crowded at times, and all the songs they play are in a language I don't quite understand, but the food is worth the trip!
The only reason I didn't give this a five is because of their service. But hey, any shop owned by an Asian staff that speaks less than 80% English, hey your bound to run into bad service. Ok, if you can put up with the minor "rudeness" then you'll experience delicious!
Our group of friends came out her on a little experience, after hearing mixed reviews about this place I decided to check this out any way. The price is good for AYCE, compared to sushimon which is almost $30 for dinner. I gave a quick glance their menu and decided to stick to the appetizers and nigiri for sushi.
Ohhhhh boy, we ordered:
White Tuna Nigiri: OMG! The most tender and fresh piece of fish ever! It was like having a burst of flavors melt in your mouth. It felt like an exotic rush, idk what it is but I feel like raw fish is exotic. Weird right?
Seared Albercore Nigiri: OMFG!!! Another melt in your mouth sushi, idk what it is but it just tantalizes my tongue, always saying give me more!
Yellowtail Nigiri: Also a definite must! It's sooooo fresh, everything just meshes well together.
Bacon and scallop Skewer: I find their rule a little greedy, seeing you only get one skewer per person. And with the smallest strip of bacon on tiny ass scallop, you've got be kidding me that I'm only limited to one? Well, whatever.....the taste of the skewer is amazing. The juices of the scallop burst out if your mouth along with the bacon. It's so sad that's it's tiny as heck.
Shrimp Skewer: again, tiny as heck but deliciously oozing with so muCh flavor. Whoever came up with their skewer rule was cruel. Leaving a person with something amazing, with a limit.
Oysters: I was never a fan of raw oysters, somi was a bit surprised when I got it. I was under the impression that it was baked, but I should've known. You don't come to a sushi place, expecting to get something cooked.
Salmon Skin roll: It was surprisingly good, I usually get a hand roll, but I was surprised with the consistency of the rice. Not too sticky or wet, just right...with the right amount of stuffing.
Calamari: Fried to a crisp served with the special soy sauce, served on a fancy looking bento box. Nothing amazing, but worth the try.
Spicy Rice cake: More like seet and sour rice cake, interesting but nothing special.
Green tea Ice cream: sweet, but not green tea tasting. I'm sad that they didn't have fried tempura ice-cream. Ohh well, there's always room for improvement.
This is good sushi joint and worth the pit-stop. Get there before 7 if you're coming in for dinner. It gets pretty packed.
