| - We came here for lunch, but thanks to the advice of my fellow Yelpers, I asked to pay the dinner price so that I can have access to the dinner portion of the menu. Guys, trust me when I say that the extra $5pp is totally worth it as the items from the dinner portion were some of my favorites.
The restaurant was located fairly close to the strip, approximately 10 minutes or so by car. We arrived soon after the restaurant open and it was fairly empty when we sat down, which worked in our favor as the our server was very attentive, and we were able to place orders at a rapid speed. The place filled up by the time we left, and the servers were not as readily available toward the end. Overall, for an AYCE place, the service was good and prompt, there were a handful of busboys nearby that made sure your water glasses are always filled. The orders also came extremely fast after they were place.
Now, on to the main event, the actual food here. We tried quite a number of dishes, four appetizers, two yakitori, twelve different kinds of nigiri, two rolls and two desserts. I guess you can say we got our money's worth! Most of the dishes we tried were quite good, particularly the rice to fish ratio for the nigiri, which can be problematic at an all you can eat place. My favorite pieces were the salmon belly, oyster, uni and mackerel, not surprisingly, three of those were dinner only items and you can only order once. I can eat a whole meal of just salmon belly.
I regret not noticing the "no rice" portion of the menu, which was all the way at the end of the back page, until nearly the end of the meal. I would've tried all of the items on that portion had I found it in the beginning of the meal. I really liked the Towering Sashimi Poki, the fish tasted fresh and well seasoned. My least favorite was the deep fried roll, although that was my own fault, as I should've known it would be super heavy given the fact that it was "deep fried". I think the main issue with that dish and most of the appetizers is that they are sooooo heavily drenched in sauce, particularly the creamy aioli prominently featured in nearly all of the none nigiri dishes. PRO TIP: when placing the order, ask for light sauce, or simply sauce on the side.
Last, but not least, both desserts we ordered were good, but the highlight was the affogato. It was surprising to find good coffee at a Japanese restaurant, and vanilla ice cream is always a good addition to coffee.
Overall, I thought it was a great meal for the amount that we paid, i.e. $26pp. I would definitely come back again, and would probably just stick to the nigiri portion of the menu.
