| - My friends and I were staying at the Palazzo and I thought to try Sushisamba for my sister's bachelorette dinner. We made reservations at 10:15pm and upon arrival the bar area and the dining area looked pretty full.
The decor was dark and interesting, with black and white classic Japanese films airing on a large big screen and some classy art/anime con another wall. My friend and I had a discussion about how we appreciated the scene.
Their menu features a wide array of items: small platters, appertizers, large platters, sushi. I checked out their menu from the Palazzo website prior so I knew what prices to expect. We started off with a bottle of sake - they have a pretty extensive sake list - and the price was reasonable for a bottle of sake.
I had ordered the rock fish ($29) and it was prepared very elegantly and was also very very delicious -sweet and moist. I let my friends sample my dish and everyone really enjoyed it. 2 of my friends ordered the teriyaki chicken ($25) and it wasn't your typical chicken teriyaki - the chicken was served with the bone in and was accompanied with purple mashed potatoes. I think this was probably my favorite chicken teriyaki dish I have sampled before and the others agreed. Others at the table ordered sushi, ramen, fries, etc. There were 9 of us and out of the group, it impressed 3 of us (1 person was myself). I appreciate good quality food and I thought the prices were reasonable - it is Las Vegas and it is a trendy restaurant in the Palazzo so it's expectable for the prices of cuisine. Most restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip are usually typically pricey for the amount of food you receive anyway. I typically like upscale restaurants. On the other hand, the other girls at the table complained of hunger and that it was expensive. They didn't agree that ramen for $18 was worth it - they are used to $5 ramen at a no-thrills restautant. Yes it is only ramen, but it had a delicate lemon grass flavor, it was a decent size, and it is generally a good price for an upscale restaurant. So this review offers insight for 2 different perspectives. It was light fare, but perfect for going out to clubs after.
Service was superb. Our waiter served us well; had friendly casual discussions periodically, and offered to take us into Sugarcane - the club.lounge attached to the restaurant. Granted, the club/lounge was empty and only had 2 people dancing, it was a nice gesture and this review is solely based on the restaurant.
If you appreciate upscale quality food that emerges to be different and unique in a chic environment try Sushisamba :)
