| - Me and my bf were all buffeted out, so we decided to give Okada a try before heading to Tryst (back in July '08).
While making reservations, we requested a seat near the waterfall. The hostess said she would try, but couldn't promise anything. However, when we arrived at 8:30 PM, I was happy that we were able to get a table facing the waterfall--it was so pretty!
We ordered the following:
-Nigori Sake: Loved it!
-Variation of Tartares: Very good, the blue fin tuna, salmon, and hamachi in crispy taro taco was a great combination. The fish was very fresh.
-Kobe Beef Carpaccio: Very good, the beef melted in my mouth.
-Assorted Sashimi Platter (Toro, Salmon, Tuna, Hamachi, and Albacore): Excellent; the fish was super fresh and was of highest quality. The slices were surprisingly MASSIVE.
-Spicy Tuna: Ehh, it was ok. Not very spicy.
-Rainbow Roll: Ehh, not impressed. It was very average.
As a side note, I was really looking forward to trying their Uni, but the waitress said it was not in season?!?! Umm, that's weird, other sushi restaurants in LV seemed to have it on their menu and we had Uni just the week before.
Service was slow and not very friendly. Our server seemed aloof the entire time. Maybe she was new?
All in all, the best thing about Okada is the Sashimi and the ambiance. The food was 3 stars. But, they get another star because we didn't have to wait in line for Tryst and got in for free. Whoo hoo--we saved $50!
