| - I went to this restaurant last night - at the recommendation of my co-worker and his sister. His sister lives in Las Vegas near Red Rock, yet she admits despite the 4 restaurant places near her house, she will drive almost half an hour to this establishment. She says it's "that good."
It is, indeed. They have new and creative sushi rolls with interesting and funny names to complement their rolls. One of them is called the "New York Steak roll". (Don't worry it's cooked.) We had to send it back to because one of our other co-workers did not read the ingredients and he is allergic to shellfish. So we had to get one without the crab. The servers were more than willing to oblige and didn't do any eye-roll or make any indication that they were inconvenienced.
As for the funny names, I know my friend and his sister ordered the "I Love My Ass" roll, and "Sexy Girl (Tastes like my ex-girlfriend)" roll. I tasted both of them and they were equally good. I on the other hand ordered "Jimmy's special" and the "Something Wrong #69" Roll. I actually like the "I Love My Ass" roll and the "something Wrong #69" roll. The "something wrong #69" came with "screaming orgasm" sauce. LOL. However, I'm sure someone I know would order the "New Sunset roll (DOUBLE D)" simply based on the name. (Double D)... pssh...
ANYWAY, the 4 of us had a GREAT time at this establishment. Despite our noise level and laughing, no one came to us to tell us to quiet down. The decor is pretty modern, upscale looking. You end up being surprised that this place is affordable and in a strip-mall type place. I also like the fact that if you ever wanted to take a date, it's dark enough for the ambiance if you get a booth.
As for dessert, I had the Tempura Ice cream. I just wanted to try it, but it was better than I expected. It was Green tea ice cream in tempura and fried. Then they cut it into quarters. It's a pretty decent size to split between two people. Our co worker who was allergic to the shellfish wasn't sure if he wanted to get mochi or green tea ice cream - both of which he never had. Our coworker decided on ordering the green tea ice cream, but our server said he would bring him samples of the mochi for the guy to try (he gave one strawberry and one vanilla - both cut into quarters). It was even decorated!! It was an excellent looking sample - if I didn't know, I would've thought that it was a regular dessert. We thought that was above and beyond what the server needed to do. Of course, we all tipped our server well.
This is the best service I've had in ANY sushi place, and will DEFINITELY go back to the establishment before my week in Vegas is over. My co-worker and his sister frequent this place and say that the service is consistently excellent. All the staff is nice and accommodating. I definitely recommend this place for sushi lovers. They also have "regular" food for those who don't want sushi, but want to go and hang w/ a friend while they eat sushi. They also have the standard rolls as well.
