| - Taste and quality-wise, this place is probably the best all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant I have ever been to (so far.) I have tried Makino last year and the sushi is waaaay better here. The quality of the sushi is great. I had mostly nigiri sushi. The bincho was great, salmon and hamachi were great. The hokki... well it tasted like hokki. I didn't like it too much but I think the hokki I had in Japan tasted the same. The amount of rice was perfect as well. Not too much, not too little. I also had the Caterpillar Roll and the American Dream Roll. Both are unagi-based rolls and they were good. It was on the menu, but they didn't have hirame. bummer.
The only complaint I have of this restaurant was the grumpy old sushi chef . I'll refer to him as Gosc from here on. You'll know who I'm talking about when you go there. My wife and I were seated at the sushi bar right in front of him. Instead of ordering sushi from the waitresses, we were told to order our sushi directly from the Gosc. I guess it was because he was busy, he seemed really crabby and didn't acknowledge us at all. We tried to get his attention and he told us to wait. There was a sign on the table to tell customers to order a little at a time. We did that when we ordered, but the Gosc growled back at us and said something like "order more at once because it's busy and that's easier for me!" To be fair, I think it could've been a language issue. He may have had problems expressing himself in English and it made him sound like a Gosc... Or maybe he WAS a Gosc. His mood did improve once the busYness subsided and we were able to make some friendly small talk afterwards.
Great sushi for a good price TRUMPS the bad service. I will probably go there again the next time I visit Vegas. And this time I will try there dinner menu, which includes amaebi, snow crab, and uni. and maybe they will have hirame next time....
