| - I'm sorry, but this place fucking sucked. We drove nearly 45 minutes off the strip to get there, and it was a disappointment to say the least, considering how much everyone hyped it up. It was basically full when we arrived, but there were five seats open at the bar. We stood around for five minutes with no host or hostess telling us whether or not we could sit down or not, and it was only after we flagged down a busboy that we were told we could have a seat.
We all ordered the all-you-can-eat lunch, and proceeded to put in our orders. For appetizers I ordered a green salad (completely drenched in dressing with mushy tomatoes), the fried calamari (it came out square-shaped and tasted like fish cake?) and the mussels, which was the only edible selection of the lot.
For sushi, we ordered plenty of nigiri and some rolls as well. The pieces of fish for the nigiri weren't especially big or tasty, and definitely wasn't on par with other sushi places I've been to. I was especially disappointed with the rolls - while there was no dearth in selection, most of the menu items seemed the same with only minor changes in the ingredients, and the ones that we did get just weren't appetizing at all - we ended up having leftover pieces of some of the rolls we ordered with no one stepping up to finish it, not because we were full but because they just tasted gross. Overall, just boring, unremarkable flavors that weren't appetizing at all. At the end, I was so put off by the sushi selection that I had to go back and order the mussels in order to try and fill myself up (which still didn't end up happening).
Save yourself the drive off the strip and take a pass on this place.
