| - This place is so Wynn!
(Apologies, I learned that phrase from some of my students in a Japanese class I was teaching.--I just had to use it!)
I finally have a place to satisfy my relentless hunger for sushi on the strip!
The sushi was excellent. Order the Special Sushi Plate ($46)!!! For the price, the best sushi I have ever eaten. ootoro & uni are worth it alone, not to mention everything else you get! Wife ordered the sea bass in parchment. I didn't get even the slightest taste. I turned around and it was gone. Absolutely delicious, but I wouldn't know... The spider roll was so-so, and the dragon roll again, so-so; The spicy ahi roll, again just ok. I do want to STRESS that the nigiri is exceptional. The su is perfect and the cuts are excellent. Just as good as most places in Nihon, and much much cheaper!
We also ordered a lot off the robatayaki side. We ate the mixed plate: sea bass, shishito, imported wagyu, onions and shiitakes.. then we ate the eryngiis, chicken and scallops. Everything was very well done, however, a little too much salt. We sent the shishitos back because they were overcooked, but came back just right. One of the cooks was getting a few plates returned and a manager spoke with him about it. I think that was the only downside to the place. If the robatayaki had been as well polished as the sushi, easily a 5 star place!
