I went to 28GO Monday evening for a UYE 5 course vegan dinner that was a farewell dinner for Jen F. who's leaving Las Vegas and moving to Milwaukee, WI. (Go figure!) :) She arranged with the chef at 28GO to make a Prix Fixe dinner of five courses. I'll use the chef's descriptions:
Course 1: This was called Popeye's Revenge and was a spinach roll dressed with spicy garlic sesame and laced with sweet balsamic-soy glaze done to look like cuts of a sushi roll. Tasty mushrooms in the spinach. good seasoning, and the plating was very well done.

Course 2: This was a tofu poke martini which was lightly seared tofu cubes tossed in sesame-soy wasabi oil atop a seaweed salad mix. It was a martini because the presentation was in a martini glass. The tofu was excellent--a nice crisp outside and great tasting dressing.

Course 3: This course was named grilled vegetable Napoleon with a blue agave glazed grilled assorted vegetables with cabernet vinaigrette and tamarind-miso paint. The vegetables were eggplant, onions, and bell pepper and it was plated beautifully to resemble the layers in a Napoleon. Again, seasoning was well done.

Course 4: 28Gp kimchee o-nigiri which is the house kimchee rice triangles with portabella mushrooms and salt cured cold tofu. This was my favorite of the night. I really liked the spiciness of the rice and the salt with the tofu was superb!

Course 5: White Rabbit is made from imported Thai coconut milk ice cream rolled inside a white mochi quilt. The ice cream was very flavorful and the quilt was tasty, too!

In addition, I had for a drink a 28GO coconut cream fizz with tapioca pearls. This is a non-alcoholic drink that was refreshing and added to the meal.
The food was excellent, the plating was well thought out given the names for the dishes, and service was excellent! I found the meal filling and I'd really like to go back and try the place again. I thought the meal was a bit pricey given there was no animal protein and even organic vegetables wouldn't merit the price we paid.
The restaurant is a small place behind the Rebel Book Store across Maryland Parkway from campus. Monday night was a great evening. There was no one else there besides the 10 of us for awhile.
Good luck, Jen.
