| - Amongst all the poor to mediocre sushi restaurants that pop up in the valley, once in a blue moon a really good sushi spot will pop out and stand out from the rest. That's sushi takashi. Me and a buddy came here after hearing about their happy hour deal through Vegas eater. And we weren't disappointed!
We arrived pretty late (about 1.5 hours before their closing time) and after reviewing both their regular and happy hour menus, ordered:
Chicken karage (HH)
Half order scallop yum yum(HH)
Half order spicy tuna (HH)
4 piece nigiri
1 piece of the Italian nigiri
Touch and go dinner (comes w/1 half order special roll)
(..We got the teriyaki salmon & spicy yakiniku, and tempura LoouooLL)
..to make this as short and straight to the point as possible, every piece of fish was perfectly portion sized cut (generous sized) and most of all very fresh. To match our meal, the owner, was equally as generous. We had made a mistake ordering only 1 Italian nigiri and upon placing a second order, he gave it to us for free. And then he gave us an extra piece of nigiri with our 4 piece order, and made all our half order rolls, full orders. Wow talk about service!
The staff was also all very nice and attentive to us as well, I don't think I ever seen my glass only half full (after coming to takashi I'm now an optimist). The servers always made sure our drinks were completely filled and we had everything we needed.
The salmon teriyaki and our chicken karage was very moist! This was something that actually really took me by surprise since I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't over cook these 2 items dry. The yakiniku was really good and interesting, sort of reminded us both of pizza.. And the Italian nigiri was a smooth and tasteful blend of what I think was pesto and Ikira on top of the lightly seared fish and had a very pleasant and juicy flavor... Overall based on my reactions after our first time to sushi takashi?.. A well deserved 5 stars!
