| - Probably the best (and perhaps only) "no frills" Japanese restaurant you can find on The Strip. By the time you're reading this they might have already moved into their renovated location (exciting!), but if not they're still temporarily in a converted conference room at the end of the corridor leading to the monorail/pool underneath Bally's. This works in your favor for now, since it keeps it less well-known, out of sight and therefore rarely busy. Great for a quiet late lunch/dinner, or take out.
I would compare the quality of the food to that of a good Japanese restaurant in the Bay Area, for those of you familiar, but with slightly higher prices (combination dinner + a roll is about $30) since it is, after all, on The Strip.
What I usually get:
- Combination lunch/dinner. Salad comes with miso dressing. Tempura is fried just right. Teriyaki chicken is crispy, not drenched in sauce. Portions are slightly smaller than what you'd expect, but everything is done well. If you order to-go they include the miso soup.
- A roll. Standard sized, a couple of dollars more than average ($13 - $17 instead of $10 - $13).
The (very friendly) staff are actually Japanese and speak Japanese to each other, if that matters. When I order for take out they bring me water or tea in a portable cup while I wait, which is a very nice touch.
