First time to the west sahara location. I usually go to the Silverado/Maryland location (which is ALWAYS busy). Went with a big party at around 7:30 on a Saturday night. I was quite surprised it wasn't busy at all. They were just waiting for a larger party to finish up and we were seated in 10 mins.
First off, I forgot how good of a quality their sushi is. I haven't been to Sushi mon in a long time since discovering Oyshi, Hikari and Island Sushi. After my first salmon nigiri, it instantly reminded me of why we always used to go here. Big, fresh piece of fish on a tiny nug of rice. Exactly how it should be.
I love their salmon nigiri and their natto! Their natto is the best I've had in town.. its the kind that is from a tube.. not the ones from the packs. Don't get me wrong, I like those too.. just not for my sushi.
I didn't realize that their prices went up to $30! That is pretty pricey for all you can eat sushi, when other venues offer much more of a variety. Honestly, I have been going to other places because they offer much more choices in appetizers. I'm not a sushi roll person. I don't care at all for those rolls stuffed and topped with random stuff. I mainly stick to the nigiris and explore the appetizer menu.
Their appetizers... are not that great. I got the scallop half shell bake (something like that). I had a thought it was going to be a baked scallop in the shell topped with mayo or something. Instead it was baby scallops baked in a dish topped with a disgusting mayo sauce. I could hardly finish it. The boyfriend ordered the ahi poke (which i WAS going to order but didn't.. thank god!). I dunno what the heck what in there.. but it wasn't only ahi. There were other weird raw pieces of fish.. it was gross.
Service was quick and the workers there were very friendly! The lady even ran out after us to make sure we got the punch card. I will definitely be back, but will probably go to the Henderson location!
