| - This is the best sushi place I have been to in vegas, granted I have not been to any outrageous strip places.
First off the fish here is fantastic, I was taking the advice of the 3 chefs and trying nigiri that I thought I didn't like from other times I tried it and I was blown away, "no no no, you will like it, it's not fishy like you had before it's very fresh, just came in today". Everything I ate was on the suggestions of the chefs, except one spicy tuna roll (great) I ate as filler, it was all superb.
Second off the rice was perfect, it has that perfect balance of sticking together just enough until you bite it, when it bursts apart in your mouth. The seasoning was spot on for me, just sweet enough so you can taste it but not overwhelming.
Third off, THE SERVICE WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST SERVICE I HAVE HAD IN A SUSHI RESTAURANT. I always hear about this fantasy world where you have a local sushi bar where you have a relationship with the chef, he gives you the best stuff they have, you trust him to serve you, and you like it. In reality every time in the past when I have asked what is fresh today I get back, "It's all fresh", bull crap! Well folks I found it, literally everyone i saw at the bar knew the chefs and the chefs knew them. A regular group came in for a birthday and sat at the bar and said, "wow" me and take your time. Even by the time I left all the chefs knew my name and visa versa. This place is legit, I was handed mackerel nigiri that was sauced and had some garnish and he told me "no soy sauce". I mean thats fuking awesome, I am not mad because I don't like being told what or how to eat. You go to a good sushi bar to have a chef prepare you food, not just for food (make sense?). In other terms, don't fuk around, he knows more than you do so do what he says, you will thank HIM for it.
Go to this place for fish not rolls. If you order cal roll and shrimp temp roll and some other roll crap with cream cheese covered in eel and ponzu sauce and dunk it in a bowl of wasabi with a splash of soy sauce this place isn't going to stand out in my opinion. For that type of thing selection is key as long the fish is pretty good. The prices here are a little steep to be eating fried cream cheese monstrosities.
Nigiri 5-7
Basic rolls 6-8
Special rolls 12-14
