| - I wasn't so keen on trying this place, as sushi seems to be everywhereee, but parents decided to press on and try it.
There was a wait, even at 8:30/9 pm, a mere hour before closing time! We had to wait about 20-30 minutes D: But, good thing - they give you a buzzer that allows at least, for you (those over 21) to go sit at a nearby slot machine while you wait.
It was busy, and our waitress was so rarely seen. We had to constantly keep an eye out for her, because she was MIA a lot.
This restaurant is posh, and nice. Dark interior, with bamboo pillars. I liked it! It was a nice atmosphere for a reasonably-priced-for-vegas restaurant.
We got the hainam chicken with rice, a shrimp tempura roll, a spicy cali roll, and tuna shashimi. Damn, that was expensive! $13 for two pieces of raw tuna on rice !! Wow. My dad didn't like it much, but then again, he is spoiled ;P
The rice for the chicken was soggy, which was weird. There were all kinds of sauces on the side, which were all yummy. It also came with a small bowl of some sort of broth that was tasty.
Our sushi rolls were about $11-13 each but they came in at least 6 - 8 pieces. They were delicious! I'm very picky with sushi, but these were, without a doubt, perfect! The rice had a great texture, and they were very flavorful.
We did have to order more food, though, as it wasn't enough. We got the wok fried noodles with udon and XO sauce. It had a kick to it with its spice, and the udon noodles gave it a tweak to normal wok fried noodles. It was deliciously unique, having firm yet still soft udon noodles! They had lots of bite to it.
Overall, yummy! It's a bit pricey, but what can you expect from a restaurant inside a casino? If you want cheaper(ish) asian food, go to spring mountain road in chinatown (it's not that far!).
However, this place is worth it. Definitely coming again when I'm in Vegas, and craving sushi.
