| - All I wanted was a good Japanese meal to soak up the festivities from the night before. I yelped sushi near my "current location" and saw that Yokohama Kaigenro had a four star review AND it was right across the street the Hard Rock where I was staying.
I literally walked across the street to get to the restaurant. The exterior was a bit rough, but when it comes to looks, you know the old adage. Upon entering, I was greeted by a friendly hostess/waitress and seated immediately. I asked for a big glass of water which was brought to my table right away. I originally had the intent of eating sushi, but upon looking at the menu, I realized that a big bowl of udon with tempura was really what was going to hit the spot.
After ordering, I took a look at the wares they were offering in the front. Japanese crackers, candy and other assorted snacks were for sale along with a chilled cabinet filled with refrigerated imports. I immediately spotted a can of cold black coffee, which I promptly ordered and slugged. I haven't seen one of those since the vending machines I frequented in Japan.
My udon came steaming hot in a fantastic broth. The tempura had three perfectly sized shrimp along with a variety of perfectly fried vegetables. To my surprise, my meal came with two inari which tasted amazing. Solid, solid meal all around for about $13.
I wanted to come back to the restaurant later that night for sushi, but the idea was nixed by my fellow Vegas companions. I 100% will make a second trip (possibly a third) the next time I stay at the Hard Rock Hotel.
