One of the best meals I have ever had in Vegas! My boyfriend and I have been trying to get reservations here for months since we moved to Henderson in October and they are always booked and closed on Sundays. We finally scored a reservation this Tuesday at 6pm opening time. I was actually nervous that it wouldn't live up to the hype I had created in my own mind, but we both agreed that it was absolutely worth the wait!!
Parking is scarce, so we ended up with street parking about a block around the corner. As soon as we walked into the cozy spot, we were greeted with a welcome cheer from the staff. We really enjoyed the welcome and eventually began chiming in when other guests entered or left through the front door. So fun!
Our server was fantastic. We are very sorry that we didn't get his name but he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about everything from the menu to explaining the condiments on the table and uses for them.
On to the food.. let me start by saying this is a small plate style menu and we had a feast! We started with one of the specials, grilled king crab legs and they were to die for! No drawn butter side per the usual crab order, these legs were perfectly char grilled and so full of flavor we didn't even miss it. This was followed by yellowtail carpaccio and pig ears. The carpaccio was beautiful and fresh, so bright and appealing that the table next to us decided to order one. This was the first time we ever tried pig ears and I honestly wished I had a bag of them to take home for later. Delicious!
Our second round consisted of wagu filet with wasabi, and skirt with garlic shavings, Kurobuta pork cheek and ribs. There is something about the flavor of the char from that robata grill that brings out the flavor of everything it touches! I was so fascinated at the unique flavors, I left dying for a charcoal grill!
The menu has much more left to try and we can't wait to go back! We talked about our meal for days and would definitely recommend!!
