We actually ordered two (for a party of 3) among other dishes because the sashimi was THAT good. It included tuna, salmon, yellowtail, squid, and another I cannot recollect.
Anyways, a breakdown of what we ordered (spending upwards $200 at the end of the night):
* Sashimi Platters - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#lRndlLck8p7kFRYKUOGLpg As previously mentioned. BEST DEAL HERE. Highly recommend. Oh, and I forgot to mention, but the second time around the chef included salmon from Japan. And yes the freshness and clarity of the fish was palpable.
* Uni Trio - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#A-cEeA7g_oBrHePLhVYqHw the BEST uni I've had in my life. Tasted uni from Santa Barbara (my favorite, most creamy), Hokkaido (lighter in taste), and Santa Cruz. Obsessed with uni now. Highly recommend to order here.
* Black Miso Cod - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#mkLPaL6yBH25O4j9LBU_fA Having been spoiled with the black miso cod at Nobu (OMG) this cod was still good but not the same, obviously. This one was sweeter -- less flaky, but still delicious, nonetheless. I'd order it again. Good price as well.
* Tuna Box Sushi - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#B8cYzwavrjey4z4lYijV6g cripsy rice on the bottom, ebi on top, with tuna, avocado and cucumber in the center. Delicious! Love that cripsy rice.
*Angus Beef Gyoza - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#K4BF-OMDtLNtSE8AZDEBxg Came paired with a tangy orange fusion gyoza sauce; the meat tasted like pork and wasn't flavored enough. Crispy gyoza skin however
* Edamame - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#jiZ3cajCe4KnyS-UNwLpUg For $3 this is a steal; though it is painfully typical the edamames were hot, fresh, crunchy, and perfectly salted. Came paired with a dipping sauce as well
* Yellow Tail Tartare - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#TGhWeKEhDZEV_0anzOoK2Q BURSTING with flavor, it didn't even need wasabi. Beautifully presented as well. Craving it right now
* Tuna Tartare - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#VytauQePvWEGvPbMcLQ-wA strong tuna taste with no negative connotation. Spices blended well with the fish
* Blueberry Cheesecake with peanut butter brittle - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#5aTrN0Hc64-0aSaLG7UukA Unfortunately tasted like something you'd purchase at Costco (supersized, in that case). I'd pass.
* Tiramisu - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/soho-japanese-restaurant-las-vegas?userid=4MHFQcFfHzVe4ISx3lvHlw#lJRio-aBk1Yhl5uH9fkVKQ so delicious; light, fluffy, fragrant, and strong chocolate tones that taste authentic and not chalky
Service is excellent, seating are is on the smaller side but you can always sit at the bar (which is what we did). Definitely coming back! A RARE 5-star review on my end!
