My husband and I recently moved to Las Vegas/Summerlin area from Los Angeles and are in search of a really good sushi joint, similar to our all time hands down favorite ("Sushi Nishiya" Glendale, CA) http://www.yelp.com/biz/sushi-nishi-ya-glendale
So we tried this place, we sat at the Sushi Bar and like other yelpers service was just ok. We had asked for the freshest fish of the day and were promptly advised which ROLLS to try. Which I promptly gave our standard reply of No, Thank You. We only like Sashimi, what is your freshest fish of the day? Which again perplexes the Sushi Chef, luckily the chef working the other side of the bar jumped in and advised us to try the Halibut.
Once the issue of no rolls only sashimi was worked out I was referred to an area on the menu where they had Sashimi plates (about 8 total) which fit our needs. To say the food was spectacular would be a stretch, it seemed fresh enough but the difficulty in ordering was quite annoying and for the prices the sashimi plates were lacking.
All in all, ok Sushi joint but yes overrated. For about the same money we could go back to Hachi at Red Rock http://www.yelp.com/biz/hachi-las-vegas , which really had a nice spin Sashimi and that trendy vibe you sometimes are willing to pay extra for.
But so far for our weekly sushi fix, we are really liking Wayne's Sushi Bar http://www.yelp.com/biz/waynes-sushi-bar-las-vegas
He's funny to hang with and he has quite a few dishes that are phenomenal, and we didn't even have to order. I asked him for the freshest fish of the day and he offered to just "feed us Omakase style" which was music to our ears!!!
