| - Today, I sat at the sushi bar and ate dinner alone while I waited for a repair job that I had going on down the street. I left so giddy with joy that I just had to come back and write a second review. Naked Fish's is the once and forever king of sushi in Las Vegas, and today I was fed a royal reminder of that fact.
I asked for "some sashimi, whatever's good today" and beer. Those may have been the most wisely chosen words I'd ever uttered. I was served bluefin, otoro, uni, red snapper, and something else, with fresh wasabi. Let me comment directly on a couple of these.
In all 3 of my previous experiences with uni, 2 of which were at sushi places in Vegas that I otherwise really enjoy, I just didn't like it. I felt like it was odd that people considered it a delicacy and I just didn't seem to understand why. Today I learned why. The uni I ate at Naked Fish's today was absolutely superb, and I melted with glee after my second - and third - bites.
Fresh wasabi? I've never once seen this in Vegas at any place other than Naked Fish's. It's such a nice touch and, for me, a critical part of enjoying the unmatched quality of fish served here.
This review is already far longer than I originally planned. Let me just put it this way: the food was so good I couldn't stop giggling throughout the entire meal, and at the end I tipped 125%. Merry (late) Christmas Naked Fish's!
