| - Raw fish please!!!
Located in the Target shopping centered on Maryland and Flamingo, we came to this spot recommend by our girl Angeli D. "Where you at girl?!" First impressions - very limited parking. There's a Filipino restaurant and other stores that share the corner, so good parking is a gamble.
The decor inside is awesome! Art deco mixed with traditional Japanese art. They have a cool chalkboard that covers the front window with a list of menu items, new items, and favorite rolls written on it. In the middle of the restaurant is a cool bar like table that sits 12 people comfortably. The sushi bar sits 8 and they have 3 coool bench booth setups that can sit another 12. The ambience here is refreshing, hip and popping. Not too loud.
Service here is surprisingly better than the ones we get at Yuma and Kaya. Carlos walked us through our questions on some items we didn't recognize, and made great recommendations including the Dancing Eel, The Shit, and Pang. No dry glasses, and no empty plates. Kept making room for our new dishes, and on top of us when it looked like we needed more. He was patient with us, with it being our first time here, he didn't give off that hurry up or "really?" Attitude. In fact today the servers seemed to be on point at both bar and tables. Good job guys.

Nigiri proportions are good here. They are not shy at all here with their servings. The rice is just perfect, no huge rice servings and small proportioned fish, where like in most places you fill up on rice. Salmon Kama here is small, but shoots, they have it. They have lobster apart of their ingredients, and that's a plus. Skewers not as big as some places, but is tasty.
We'd like to come back and try the dinner menu, but overall for AYCE, customer service, and quality, they get 5 stars from me.
