| - We were looking for a spot to grab a quick bite before going to a dayclub, and came across Ramen Ya Katana while walking through the Grand Bazaar. Ramen didn't sound like the best option for a sweaty day in Vegas, but it turns out they have sushi burritos!
There are not many places to sit down if you wanted to dine in. The restaurant is narrow and they fit in two counters to sit at and some small tables. Of course, you can always take your order to go, but I don't know how well that would go over with ramen.
I went for the SAPPORO ($9.77), which contains salmon, shrimp tempura, imitation crab, avocado, and lettuce. It came out pretty quickly, in what felt like 10 minutes or less. However, we were all surprised when the sushi burrito came out wrapped in a tortilla instead of nori. I've never seen a sushi burrito made like this, and while the tortilla was thin and didn't take away too much from the sushi, I wish I would have known. I asked later if you can sub nori instead of the tortilla and they said you could (but the option is not made known while ordering!). Overall it tasted alright, but nothing special. I was definitely very full after, and the price is good for the portion given.
I think this is a good choice for some economical Japanese eats while on The Strip, but it's nothing special. There are signs inside that say it got a Michelin recommendation, and I'd really like to know the backstory behind that.
