Everyone enjoyed it and said that they would come back again. One guy joked that he was going to come back for dinner.\n\nYu Yu is a Japanese restaurant that doesn't serve the typical sushi, or ramen which seem to be on every street corner in Vegas these days. It serves a different style of Japanese food called kushiage, which are breaded and deep-fried meat or vegetables on skewers. They are easy to eat and are served with curry/chili spices and a dipping sauce that you can add to or dip your skewers if you like.\n\nEntering the restaurant it had a clean modern feel to it. It is relatively small and has about 5 to 6 tables and a sushi bar type area that probably seats around 8 people.\n\nThe staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions regarding the menu items, etc. Everyone decided to order the 9 piece chef's choice as none of us had ever had this style of food. A sampler meal if you will. The 9 skewer meals were served with cabbage, cold mashed potatos, rice and a bowl of soup. I was not disappointed with any of the skewers I had onion, mushroom, chicken, prawn, and beef and the other ones that I am not ever sure what they were...lol. You can order skewers a la carte based on your tastes and hunger level.\n\nI will be returning for a second run soon and try some of the other dishes they server and different skewers. I heard that their curry udon is very good and will be ordering this on my next visit.\n\nIf you have not had kushiage, I recommend that you give it a try!"^^ .
