| - thanks to fellow yelpers, decided to not be lazy and drive 10 minutes from the strip hotel to eat here, glad I did.
I PROMISE TO PUT PICTURES SOON (done 564-570)
STAFF: all are super friendly, and always have a smile on their face. Manager came by (Jax) she was nice chatted a bit. Hostesses, our waiter Michael took care of us.
They go a little too much into detail about what they are doing; I mean I don't really need to hear a lecture on condiments or what they recommend we do with the ginger or soy sauce, unnecessary chatter.
BATHROOM: why? because which bathroom do you know has mouthwash to rinse your stinky onion and garlic chip breath after eating here? They do, cute setup.
COST/VALUE: Its moderately priced; some yelpers say its cheap or less than the norm, maybe if you eat 5pcs of sushi and drink ice water. But if you have an appetite, and drink, minimum youll blow is 50/person, so again not high not low average price.
FOOD: When I eat sushi, I look at 4 things: 1)quality of fish 2)taste 3) presentation 4) originality
Taste ===4.5 stars
Presentation=4.5 stars
quality of fish =4.5 stars
originality=6 stars (yes six out of 5)
Heres what I ordered:
Tsukijji express: tuna ok, with avocado, just a standard item.
Agemaki=deep fried with yellow tail, cilantro and asparagus, very good. Loved the black and orange colored sauce next to it. Actually their sauces are great, each dish seems to have its own one.
Mushroom wakame soup=order this soup. has 3 kinds of mushrooms in it, a tasty fish/musroom oily broth just amazing. Liked soup more than anything yes that good.
Crudo=candied quinoa (not enough on it though should put a lot more) on top of sea bass, tasted awesome, with bursting cut heirlooms in the mix.
Atlantic salmon with citrus slices underneath, I know sounds gross...until you eat it, wowzerz, good stuff.
Suika Sakana=favorite and most original item. Who would put slices of jalapeno on top of tuna, then put chopped watermelon blocks underneath it, and make an ocean out of the plate base with basil oil? Just heavenly. Their fruits are super fresh and crisp.
Fried chicken bits=only item I didn't care for; chicken needs to be fried in a better method, it was very bland tasting chicken, even with the jalapeno slices and thin onion slices. doesn't taste fried, like the chili sauce they mixed with but doesn't save the chicken. Skip this.
Oh, they gave complimentary cantaloupe shot, wasn't crazy about that should be chilled but didn't mind it, nice gesture.
Downed meal with 2 Asahi Blacks...excellent beer and frigid as always like all Japanese RR's.
If your staying in las vegas, this MUST be on your checklist.
Shockingly close, just take (from strip) flamingo and go up to past the 15 N/S ramps, keep going about 1-2 miles its on the left side after decateur, very easy to find, but be sharp. There is a separate lightless left turn that turns you right into the small lot. DO IT, don't think go there, and enjoy a great quiet tasty fruit and funky flavor-infused night.
so, bottom line, I give the place for the food 4.5 stars, and the smiling faces make it 5. Minor flaws which are easily overlooked even by a sushi snob like me.
