| - Oh Sen. You are so lucky. Usually my wife and I fulfill our weekly sushi tooth with Goyemon. But for some reason we decided to try something different and headed all the way out to Summerlin instead.
When we arrived, around 12:30 a.m., it was completely dead inside save for one couple at the bar. At this hour, Goyemon would be packed to the rafters. Nevertheless, we apprehensively sat down and were quickly greeted and supplied with our Diet Coke fix. Then we immediately set about reading the Reverse Happy Hour menu that Misti and so many other reviewers have raved about.
First, we got the salmon carpaccio, and it was perfect, with a delicious glaze and a taste of freshness. We proceeded with a Lisa Lisa roll (shrimp tempura, avocado, crunch) which was good and a nice change of pace from the same Goyemon rolls we have every week.
For our fourth dish, we wanted to try the shrimp with a lemon sauce. Our waitress told us that the lemon had been abandoned and that the dish now came with a ginger chili paste.
That was a good call. That dish was damn delicious.
Lastly, we tried an Alaska roll, and were disappointed in the freshness of the salmon. After being pleasantly surprised at how fresh everything else was, the Alaska roll left a literal bad taste in our mouths.
Sen is good. Not great, but good. Even the mighty Mon empire has an occasional misstep so I can forgive the Alaska roll...this time. We'll be back and hope that everything was as good as before!
