Every time anyone asks about sushi or wants to know where to get good sushi, I always refer them to Sushimon.
Now, don't get me wrong, this place is not perfect. However having tried more than a few spots in town, and seen the many gimmicks put up by other places, Sushimon remains my favorite sushi spot.
All the negatives that people mention about this place are technically true
- This place is not close to the strip.
- The wait time can be long(sometimes topping out at 1 hour +
- The restaurant is smallish.
However, if you're visiting Vegas, and really want good sushi, is it that horrible to drive an extra 10 minutes to not have to deal with casino parking, not have to walk a mile and a half to get to the place, and not deal with the absurd prices you often find at restaurants on the strip?
I've often found, that any restaurant, be it big or small that can produce a full house and wait, is doing something right.
Sushimon doesn't offer you fine dining service. It's not going to blow you away with it's superior service.
I don't know about you guys, but I really don't think that matters.
If you're getting AYCE Sushi, you already have an idea of what kind of sushi you want, and what your preference is.
All the server's I've seen at Sushimon are good at getting the food out, and keeping the drinks full.
You could go to some dirty place in the middle of a bad neighborhood and get Sushi for $4-5 cheaper, sure.
But Sushimon offers almost their entire menu on their AYCE and All-you-can-eat Dessert as well.
I know a lot of places mark off menu items and only offer you one dessert.
Things I LOVE from Sushimon
Nigiri:
- Hamachi (Yellowtail)
- Salmon
- Super White Tuna
- Unagi
Other offerings:
- Hamachi Collar(most places don't offer this, and they sometimes run out, but if they have, order it!)
- Salmon Collar
-All the rolls(and 1/2 rolls for almost all of them if you want to try the roll without getting too full, again something most places don't offer)
-Uni(Sea Urchin) (one per person)
-Ama Ebi(sweet Shrimp) (also one per person)
Dessert(AYCE)
-Mochi Ice Cream (Strawberry/Vanilla)
-Green Tea, Red Bean, and Lychee Ice Cream
- Tempura Ice cream
Sure you could in theory find a cheaper place than this, in a more "glamorous" location, but if I'm gonna shell out $20+ for a meal, I don't mind paying a little bit more knowing that my meal is going to be good. Sushimon offers you a large menu to choose from, speedy service, and most importantly, consistency. I've been here at least a dozen times, and haven't once had a bad experience.
In case anyone is wondering, they DON'T do call ahead seating, so you have to arrive in person to get your party on the list.
