| - Small, local, cool, and kickass. That's how I'd describe my Other Mama experience!
Part sushi/rawbar, part Asian inspired with American influence, part creative cocktail, and part super no nonsense, familial vibe; Other Mama is like the best neighborhood restaurant you've always sought out but never had in your neighborhood.
It's the kind of place where the menu is ever changing, so no two experiences are the same. Where the food has a lot going on, while the menu doesn't say much. Where you're not one of a million customers, and you're bound to know the staff by your second visit.
We showed up on a night they had a private party. I never thought to call ahead to check, but the staff was really chill and set us up with three seats at the bar. Honestly, with a view of the open kitchen, watching them expo, prep, and run 15-20 of the same plates in unison, is the best seat in the house.
This kitchen team is EFFICIENT, and it was impressive. Kinda like watching an orchestra perform. Everyone playing their part, allow us to enjoy pure harmony!
We ordered up a couple dozen oysters (variety changes daily), grilled octopus with a sweet mash, Kim Chee Fried Rice, "Shrimp and potatoes" which had 4 huge prawns sauteed in garlic butter and served on a hot sizzling skillet with tiny fried heirloom potatoes, scallop and uni sashimi, and quite a few cocktails and a bit of sake too.
All of it was delicious, and the meal was a helluva lot of fun!
I really enjoyed this spot, and hope more Las Vegans discover it an enjoy it too.
Chef Dan and the team, you rock!
