| - This is EXACTLY the type of dining experience you expect in Las Vegas. I half expect the Yakuza to walk in for their evening tea.
I was greeted by a very friendly hostess staff that seated me 20 minutes before my reservation.
While sitting at the high-top I was impressed by the initial presentation of chopsticks, glasses, and napkin, honesty something you'd see out of a traditional Japanese restaurant.
I was introduced to Jeffery (Jeff) my server for the night who was very bubbly, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.
I placed my order of "sticky ribs" as an appetizer and the "angry chicken" as my entree.
I also ordered the Tokyo Black porter as a drink which is easily one of the best Japanese craft beers I've ever had. Jeff arrived with the porter and gave me some information on the brewery, its location, and another beer he had from the brewery. This was a HUGE plus in my book being a craft beer fan.
My sticky ribs arrive and the waiter (not Jeff) explained exactly what I was getting as it sat in front if me. What the glaze was, how it was cooked, the garnish added... how incredible is that!!
My first bite into the ribs, they were fall-off-the-bone tender. The glaze on them was magnificent. There was just enough crunch on the edges to satisfy anyone. I wolfed them down and was quickly presented with a moist towel to clean off... A+ customer service all around!
Speaking of service, the busser/water filler for my table was incredible, not missing a beat and never allowing my cup to drop below 50% as well as removing my dishes in a prompt and clean manner!
Now back to my experience, Jeff would swing by the table, checking on me just enough.
Next came in my angry chicken, again as the plate was lowered, the entire dish was explained from the sauces to what degree the chicken is cooked at. Upon finish of the explanation, I dug in.
The chicken was very moist and tender, the sauce for the chicken was out-of-this-world good! Slightly sweet but savory with a zing of peppers. The wing, breast and thigh was topped with rice noodles and surrounded by peppers. Slightly disappointed by the heat level, but I'll attribute that to my high spice tolerance.
During my meal I had to call over the manager and compliment her on Jeff and the entire meal!
I grinded to a halt as the last bits of chicken entered my mouth, quite full from my endeavor.
Jeff, kind up until the very end, easily was one of the many highlights of the meal. Definitely deserved the 40% tip. There need to be thousands of more waiters like him!
I even made sure to tip the water boy which delighted him greatly and it was deserved.
I could not recommend this restaurant enough! Morimoto hired the perfect staff to put forward his representation of Japanese-American cuisine that is to die for!
