Since this place is on so many "top ten" lists, I thought for sure that I was going to get a very expensive, maybe good experience. Very pleased to be wrong on that front! Staff was very helpful when explaining the menu and the items were all well prepared and extremely tasty. The standouts were the Raku's Tofu (get the full order--we got the half and ended up ordering it twice), the sashimi salad (very generous for the price), the duck with balsamic soy glaze, the enoki mushrooms with bacon and the asparagus okaki. We stuck mostly with the skewers and were surprisingly full given the small bites. And our check was not astronomical--a plus! This is now on our list of places to go in Vegas.
