| - I went to Little Buddha with moderate expectations. I used to work at Palms and just pictured this restaurant as a run of the mill generic zen sushi blah blah blah. In Vegas we have Tao, Social House, Koi, Sushi Samba and I'm sure plenty of other DJ/sushi/lounge joints which are cut from the same cloth. Decor is typical red and black, cuisine is typical Pan Asian and it would be a travesty to see this place busy, the tables are extremely close together.
Started with a Saketini....which sucked. Sake, midori etc. tastes like you cracked open a honeydew and took a bite. Too sweet and too boring. 4/10
Service: Very solid, our server was a european or possibly a russian who wasn't there to be your buddy, he was there to execute service with poise and precision. He gave me and my date plenty of privacy but was always there when we were ready for the next step of service. 9/10
Food: George's roll! This is the George Maloof's signature roll (He owns the hotel) It was nothing short of phenomenal, quite possibly the best maki roll I've ever had. George's roll is made up of shrimp tempura, avocado and fish roe topped off with lobster. I will be back simply to have this again. 10/10
Worth a visit. Two rolls, two drinks and two desserts for $100. Not a great value by any means but if you are clubbing at the Palms its a great spot to start the evening and set the mood.
