| - I wish I could give this 10 stars out of 5. How's that for the opening line of a review? My mom was coming to town for the holiday weekend and we were craving sushi. After extensively researching sushi spots in Vegas (I have only been to Ra and that does not count as a quality sushi experience) on Yelp I narrowed it down to Wayne's: it's off-strip and reading that Wayne remembers his customer's names sold us.
There has only been one other sushi experience that can compare to this one and that is when my mom's friend was friends with the owner of the sushi bar. Wayne and Heidi are so incredibly welcoming and hospitable, they not only provide customer service but make you feel like you're over at a friend's house for dinner. Apart from the casual and intimate setting the sushi itself is phenomenal. The specialty rolls are just WOW. We had the Dragon Ass and Lost Wages rolls, both of which were amazing, as well as incredible salmon sashimi, a spicy tuna hand roll, and the Cajun Ahi Salad. I've never been into salads at sushi bars since the combinations don't appeal to me and they are generally overpriced for what they are, but this salad was amazing. It's mostly a meal in itself but perfect to share as a side dish. Wayne makes his own dressing that is absolutely delicious, and for $14 there is SO much tuna! I was surprised to keep finding more and more hidden under all the salad. To add, the sashimi pieces were large and thinking about the salmon is making my mouth water right now.
One of the specialty rolls we ordered was supposed to include masago but when he was making it the eggs were still frozen. After they had thawed he complementary satisfied our craving for masago with some nigiri pieces. Also upon learning we were belatedly celebrating my 21st, he offered us free sake, and not only free but gave us our choice of what kind and offered sizes small to large! How is that for service?
We ordered sushi to our heart's content and our bill came to about $62. At the strip or anywhere else it could have definitely come to $100 or more, including the sake we would have otherwise paid for. $30 for each of us to have some of the best sushi we've ever had (not to mention being completely stuffed) in a great setting is more than fair. His prices are reasonable especially for the generous cuts. Aside from the sushi Wayne is such a funny guy and he and his wife are great to talk to, and to pay fair prices for a great environment and customer appreciation makes me want to come back again and again.
I never would have found Wayne's if it weren't for the internetz. Hopefully this review brings him even more business because if you are looking for amazing sushi and a friendly environment, you need to come here. It has not even been a week since I went and already want to go back. They are located inside Shilla on Sahara, just west of Palace Station.
