| - I recently moved to Summerlin from Chino Hills in Southern California. There were quite a few good sushi restaurants back home, and I was looking forward to trying and finding some good ones out here in Las Vegas. So, after a quick scan on yelp, we decided to check out Sushi Fever.
Now, I haven't tried any sushi from anywhere else here in Las Vegas yet, but compared to places I've been previously, this was easily one of the worst. We went on a Saturday afternoon, around 1 o'clock, and the place was moderately busy. Our service was a little on the slow side, but not the worst I've experienced. Our food, however, was a very big disappointment, especially for the price. The rolls average around $14, and based on the quality and quantity they give, I'd put their value closer to $7-$8. We ordered 2 Miso Soups, 1 order of steamed Gyoza, 1 order of yellowtail nigiri, 1 kamikaze hand-roll, 1 yum yum hand-roll, 1 Mistake specialty roll, 1 Volcano specialty roll, and just water to drink. The bill was $54. I'd probably rate this place a 2 - 2.5 star establishment if the bill was closer to $30.
As for our food, the miso soup was extremely bland, with an over powering taste of onion. I'm not sure how they managed to screw up miso soup, but they did. There was a lot of tofu though, so that may or may not be a bonus for some people. The gyoza was a limp sack of spinach, with a mediocre sauce on the side. We ate half of them before deciding we'd rather be hungry than continue eating those. The yellowtail nigiri was alright, nothing special, nothing terrible. The kamikaze hand-roll was definitely on the lower end of hand-rolls I've had, and all of the cream cheese was on the bottom for some reason, so the last bite was exceptionally bad. The yum yum hand-roll also managed to have an overpowering oniony taste somehow, despite me not actually seeing any onions. The mistake specialty roll was on par with a Vons brand spicy tuna roll, except this one looking like it was rolled by someone with tremors. Finally, the volcano specialty roll. This was easily the best thing we ordered off the menu, but it came out 10 minutes after the rest of our food, cost $12, and we only got 4 medium sized pieces of sushi. Plus, it was a baked roll, despite not mentioning that on the menu, which sadly my fiancee doesn't like.
I don't know if this place just has off days or what, but we definitely won't be coming back. I've generally been pretty pleased with the restaurant scene out here, and I was pretty surprised at how bad the food was for the price. I hope the other nearby sushi bars can do better.
