| - How have I never heard of this place?
As a native I am very keen to find places that make me feel like I am not in Vegas or in Vegas as a city not as a tourist attraction.
This is place was marvelous. Upstairs has the perfect decor with the bare cinder blocks and the raw wood. The one open window let the chilly air and the sounds of the city. I look forward to coming back and eating through the menu again. They were very giving on any changes we wanted to make or ordering things not really on the menu and the prices were reasonable. I am very happy. The food was delicious, the serving staff was amazing..especially the bus boy who overheard us talking about the menu and on offered us their "chicken nuggets"...he said two words...dark meat, and I was hooked. They were amazing and a fine alternative if you don't like fish and your friends are dragging you to sushi...or if you're a normal person and love adult chicken nuggets...white meat be damned.
The quality is superb. I have eaten in some places that charge many times more for what they are serving and it cannot come close to what is done here. The rolls do not come very quickly, but incredibly reasonably, and each roll is worth its weight in gold. I highly recommend rock n roll and the roll 5...or something with a 5 in it, my taste buds blocked my memory. I could go on and on, their Ocean Trout was unlike anything I have ever tasted and their sushi tacos appetizer makes me want to steal their recipe book.
The sauces are not the main focus of the dish like most other sushi places nowadays, they are a gentle complement to enhance, not to take over, the experience. Easily, my new favorite sushi place. Thank you! I'll be a regular especially at happy hour with 30% off.
And...they have real, freshly grated wasabi available and a wonderful saki selection. Take a moment to leave what you know as Vegas aside and see what Vegas looks like from a local perspective...
