| - CONDENSED IN A SOUP CAN: Goyemon is brother to a family of great restaurants including Monta Ramen/Chaya and Sushi Mon (now both the Maryland AND Sahara outlets are united under the same management)... so it safe to expect greatness. It will not disappoint your taste buds and wallet, but it may test your patience for table wait.
THE MEAT: Hubby and I have swung by this place a few times but we weren't willing to wait an hour or two for a table. MAHALO to awesome Yelper friends with hookups to a private room! The sake options are awesome, and for $8, you can have a 3-shot sampler of any sake on their menu. Their appetizer, sushi/rolls and dessert offerings also give you a wide variety with no limits. The must trys - pork belly (lots of melt in your mouth fat that works), salmon belly nigiri, salmon collar (they cook this beautifully - I believe it is a superior part of the fish), the ecstasy roll (albacore, tuna, seaweed, masago, yum yum sauce - all the flavors and textures were lip-smacking good), and yuzu or lychee sorbet. We were underwhelmed by a few items like Cajun albacore (the fish and execution is exceptional in Sushi Koma, which also has a much better version of the scallop dynamite dish). But on the whole, you get a great bang for your buck with quality ingredients, good service and varied quantity. I've tried a lot of AYCE sushi in Vegas but Goyemon still remains the undefeated champion.
I'M STILL DIGESTING... the fact that I didn't order more salmon belly. Darn it.
