| - What happened? I was so looking forward to trying this place. Ever since it moved from Eastern and Serene in Henderson to Pebble and Maryland, i was hankering to try this place.
I am not sure what happened...
1. Service - On a windy Friday and the sushi bar was 80% full but the tables were mostly open. Greeted right away, seated and given great service! Menus, water, drinks and etc were quickly arranged.
2. Ordering - Also great, attentive adn giving a lot of explanations. 2 of were going for AYCE and two were for the bento box style combinations.
3. Food - The bento boxes were a bit, not bento like. For some reason, i was just expecting the lacquer type boxes with sections for all the tasty goodness of beef, rice, salad, California rolls, and your veggies and what nots all raring to go. Instead the food was served on plates and separately. The miso, then salad, then the roll, then the tempura, then the rice plate with a bit of the beef... Very strange but oh well. I would say, everything lacked in presentation, but the taste was not a problem.
4. AYCE - all the standards and a bit more unique ones. I don't think it is necessary to go over each roll, as this is your standard menu. We had rolls and nigiri.
a. The Ebi - A bit rubbery.
b. The Scallops - Nice
c. The Uni - good, but small.
d. The Amai Ebi - good and the fried heads were good.
e. Scallops, Uni, Maguro, Hamachi, Albacore - all good.
f. The rolls, not bad, just a lot of "stuff" on these as normal.
g. I also liked that overall there were not too much rice in the nigiri
5. Service while eating - what happened? After our first order was put in, we got the sushi after about 15 minutes after the bento boxes were delivered, so we really did not "eat" together. The AYCE sushi came out very slow. It seemed to take forever.
Then, when we wanted to reorder, that took a very long time. I was getting a bit irritated. We also had to ask for ginger and wasabi and also ask for our own chopsticks.
5. Overall, I give the food about a 3 - 4. However, ambiance was very bare and the service after the initial seating continued to decline throughout the meal.
GK says, check it out, but order your AYCE quick because if you dabble, the reorder can take quite a long time!
GK says, check it out, however, Sushimon and others, you won't have anything to worry about.
