This ain't no "Todai - leave - all - the - seafood - out - all - dai - everydai - since yesTodai" Seafood Buffet.
How or why I took so long to remember to Yelp this place is beyond me. This is our "Go-To" restaurant everytime we're in Vegas visiting my parents. If you've eaten here, you know why, if you haven't...well let me tell you...
THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST SUSHI RESTAURANTS YOU'LL EVER GO TO IN YOUR LIFE.
- First of all, the fish is flown in FRESH, from the west coast, the Gulf and sometimes Hawaii, daily.
- They don't 'skimp' on their portions. (If it's too much, you can place 1/2 an order upon request)
- For $26.00 / person, you'll definitely get your money's worth! (If you know how to order)
- You can also order from the kitchen menu (hot items) You're not limited to ONLY sushi.
- It also helps if you haven't eaten much (or at all) all day. But try not to "over order" since you must finish what you order.
- You can share within your party, as long as whoever you share with ordered the buffet as well.
Some of my "Sushi Mon favorites" are the Garlic Tuna (nigiri), the Sushi Monster (huge) & the Toro (1 order / person). Other than those, I'll order the usual: Hamachi roll, Tekka maki, 9-1-1 roll, Rainbow roll...etc...
Can't forget dessert either, oh yeah it's included...I usually go for the Tempura Ice cream...make that 2 orders...
Like I said, if you know what / how to order, you'll definitely get your money's worth... But hold on...there are some drawbacks.
- Wait time can be horrendous!!! Show up as soon as they open, preferably with a party smaller than 6.
- You have to finish what you order. They're really anal about you eating the rice that goes along with the fish.
- I think they're only open for dinner now (5pm - 2am) They still might serve lunch at the Sahara location.
Either way, I'll stick to my guns and name this place the best sushi spot I know of...and being born and raised on an island, I know my fresh fish.
