Probably the best Japanese meal I've had outside of Japan. I ordered the full $125-ish tasting diner menu, plus some nice cold sake. Various intricate, colorful, and tasty dishes appear one after another. The Kobe beef and foie gras was the high-light. I was so surprised that I was actually getting full. But for $125, I shouldn't expect any less.
There was this nice couple sitting in the next table. They shared their black cod on lettuce cups dish with me because they ordered too much food. That dish was excellent. If only that can happen more often.
As everyone says, it is strange to be located in Hard Rock Casino. It is not on the strip, so not as convenient to get to. The decor seemed a little off - feels more Hawaiian or tropical. The service was friendly, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
