| - Very rarely do I give out 1 or 2 stars but I felt led astray by my fellow Yelpers. I can't believe the amazing reviews on Yelp for this place!
I had to wonder to myself: Did I go to the wrong place? Is there another Yonaka that I don't know about? Because not only was it me, but my two guests who also dined with me were confused as to why this place has close to 800 reviews and 4.5 stars on Yelp.
I left deeply confused and was ashamed to say that I had led my friends astray! I had just moved to Las Vegas and my dear friend and her husband decided to make a trip out from LA to visit me for the weekend. When asked what places were good to try for dinner, I automatically suggested this place since one, I had never been here before, two, the amazing reviews and photos, and three, I love sushi!
I thought for sure this would be a winner.
Needless to say, we were all very disappointed. Dish after dish was just not that good. I'm really sorry. Did someone in the kitchen have a bad day? I don't know but you only get one chance to earn my business and while I would love to make this a go-to spot, it's just not.
The biggest thing for me as a Yelper is the food and quality. Service is second for me. The food here was overseasoned or drenched with sauces. Everything had TOO MUCH SAUCE! Don't get me wrong. I love sauces, hot sauce, pasta sauce, dipping sauce ... but there is a time and place for that!
The KARAAGE aka fried chicken was served with a sauce that was not impressive and would have been best served as a side condiment, not drizzled and smothering the fried chicken, which took away from the crunchiness of the meat.
The WAGYU BEEF SKEWERS and again drenched in sauce with more sauce on the side. I just wanted to taste the meat itself.
The KAMASHITA AKA FATTY TUNA COLLAR, which was the first thing we ordered on the menu and it never came out. We waited and waited and finally, we thought maybe they forgot so we decided to cancel the order. They go back to the kitchen and bring it out immediately and say that it's already been made, implying that we should eat it. Um, no.
I'm a big UNI person and it was not up to par for me. (The next day I went to Sushi Samba and got my fix there. They serve Catalina Uni and it's ah-mazing)
FOIE GRAS RISOTTO - this was a very heavy dish which didn't blow my mind.
I've dined all over from LA to NY so yes, I am an official food snob. I wouldn't have said that before but after living in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and now Las Vegas, I just expect the best.
Seriously, I can keep going because we all really wanted to like this place so we ordered a variety of plates and sushi. I just left unsatisfied and smelling like burnt butter. Service was fine. Our waiter was great but the food, on my god. No.
We spent a ton of money here and probably won't return. EVER.
