| - Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the greatest sushi I have ever had in my life. I lived on Japanese food for many years, but even I have to vouch for this place, despite its location in America, in the middle of the freakin' desert of all places.
When I say this, I am talking about the quality of the food, the system of pricing, and the accessibility of the restaurant itself. Everything is to the advantage of the customer, which makes me wonder how this place stays in business.
First of all, quality. I don't know how they manage to keep the raw fish that fresh this far inland, but they make it work. The fish tastes like it was caught that morning. The fact that they make everything to order and slice the fish in front of you certainly guarantees a product right at the threshold of optimal quality. I ordered from all over the menu, but after a couple bites of the salmon nigiri, I have to say that this is my favorite. It's a real basic menu item that was exceptionally tasty and needed little or no soy sauce to enjoy. The seared salmon is pretty good, too, in case you're in the mood for something a little more cooked, but definitely try the salmon.
Secondly, the price. Currently, the All-You-Can-Eat Lunch price is $21.95. Normally it ends up costing that much anyway for a full meal when you order over the counter for a fresh cut, so an all-you-can-eat for that price is pretty insane. There were a few things that I probably would have never ordered À la carte like the Mexican Rolls, but because I didn't have to worry about overspending on a gamble of taste, I was able to try an atypical variety of sushi adapted for the American palate. I never found anything I didn't like, however, and we probably tried a quarter of the menu over the course of two visits to the same Sushi Mon. Mind you, it is a big menu.
Lastly, the accessibility of the location. The Western Sahara Avenue location is far off the Las Vegas Strip, so it keeps the hoards of tourists away. On the two occasions my dad and I came here, parking was not an issue, and neither was seating. The only drawback is that for any all-you-can-eat order, you are restricted to a certain time limit. I suggest coming here on a weekday off-peak so that you can order without having to worry about long waits. When it gets busy, it can become difficult to flag down the sushi chef.
Whatever their secret is, I hope the same Sushi Mon will always be there whenever I visit Vegas (the last time I was here was in August of 2012). It tops my list of favorite restaurants and is certainly worthy of being my 100th establishment to review. Thank you, Sushi Mon!!
