So I mostly stay in the southeast part of town which has a plethora of solid sushi joints. However, I had a friend in town who was staying out in Summerlin and I didn't want her navigating to the other side of town when she wasn't familiar with the roads. So we agree to meet at Sushi Loca in Downtown Summerlin.
I was a little concerned when I arrived at 6:00 and the place was completely empty. But then again, it was Week 1 of Monday Night Football so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. The place was very spacious and beautifully decorated. I thought it was pretty cool that they served green tea from Le Creuset French press vessels.
The food was service was good. We shared the jalapeƱo yellowtail, salmon collar and a couple of rolls. Everything seemed fresh and we actually loved that the rolls were more fish with just a thin delicate layer of rice. I thought it was strange that they only brought one plate of ginger and wasabi for the three of us to share.
With so many great sushi restaurants closer to my side of town, there was nothing outstanding to warrant the longer drive out there. However, if I happen to be on that side of town I am absolutely not opposed to going back either.
