We've been to Kabuto and other omakase places throughout the area and wanted to give this place a try. I will say it is absolutely taste bud scintillating dinner. This is one of the best places to checkout. They have 3 menu options, with their deluxe menu coming with a sake or wine pairing. Experience wise in comparison to others, I'd say it's a solid 4/5 stars. Very nice ambiance , player 2 has spent tons of time in Japan and felt right at home. Yes it's in a slightly sketchy strip mall, but what isn't in vegas!? Decor is very minimalist Japanese style the focus is on the food. Our chef was absolutely amazing preparing the best food and we ordered extra nigiri because the Otoro and the kamashita otoro were just too good for one bite. In order of favorites : Otoro- we ended up ordering extra because wow - the Otoro with caviar - delectable - the uni- I'm not usually an uni fan but this was so fresh it was like butter with rice. read more

Yui in Las Vegas is a wonderful choice if you need a break from the strip and you're looking for an intimate, omakase-only experience that feels special without being stuffy. The space itself is cozy while the staff are warm, welcoming, and always happy to chat. The quality of the fish across the entire tasting was excellent as each piece was packed with great flavors and textures while the shari was the perfect temperature and consistency. While the cuts do run a bit on the smaller side, the overall value is still excellent, especially if you're coming from the sticker shock that is sushi in the Bay Area, with omakase priced at around $125 without sake and $170 with a pairing. Some standouts for me were the Ma Aji, which was beautifully oily and assertively fishy in all the right ways; the Hotate, which was incredibly sweet and delicate; the Zuke, deeply savory and satisfying; the Hokkaido Uni, rich and creamy; and the Otoro, which was as fatty and unctuous as you'd hope. The tin filled with three kinds of tuna and topped with caviar was another highlight, packing an absolute wallop of flavor into a such a small package. My only real criticism is about the sake pairing. You get four pours (including a dessert sake), but without a printed or verbal menu detailing each one, it's hard to really appreciate what you're drinking or decide whether the pairing is right for you. The pacing also felt a bit off, as the first two sakes arrived quickly, and then I was left with just one to carry me through the bulk of the omakase. Given the price difference, I probably would skip the pairing next time and instead order a bottle I know I enjoy and can sip at my own pace. That said, our sushi chef was incredibly friendly and engaging throughout the evening, which added a lot to the experience and made the counter feel relaxed and fun. Our neighbor patrons even gifted us the rest of their sake as they opted not to finish the bottle they had ordered so that was an unexpected surprise! Overall, I'd absolutely recommend a visit to Yui for anyone looking for a refined but approachable omakase in Las Vegas, but would recommend to those looking to pair sake with their meal to just skip the pairing and choose your own bottle instead. read more

Food was delicious, great dining space, service was top notch. We loved the kamashita toro!

Excellent, traditional, serene omakase experience. I really enjoyed the relaxed, more wooden, zen-like experience where one can truly enjoy the pacing, craft, rice, and fish. This was some of my favorite rice on my trip and on the strip and they showed me how they polish the rice in house which is a great treat and wonder to behold the artisanal qualities. Yui is more classic Edomae-style omakase IME. It's not as over-the-top for better or for worse as some omakase spots in Vegas, and I appreciate that because it could be too much otherwise. I loved that they polish their rice in house, that they make their own sake (quite good and refreshing!), and the chef listened to me - as I was mentioning how I enjoy abalone (rare on the East Coast to see), and he comped it on the house instead of the usual sweet desserts which I do not like. Very kind and thoughtful! Price is a touch lower than some of the eye-watering restaurants on the strip. Excellent nori - straight from Japan and perfectly crisp and tasty. I would've appreciated more variety in stoneware and porcelain but that's part of the point - Yuri is a bit more serene, stable, and balanced. :) read more

Amazing Omakase - a bit pricy but I think the quality speaks for itself and was well worth it! I'll admit I was a little hesitant when we got dropped off in a dark alley parking lot. But once we got in, we were greeted by friendly staff and sat in a nice private room for our 6 person party. I have nothing but praise for everything on the Omakase tasting with sake pairing. The stars of the show for me were wagu (perfectly made and buttery - try one with and one without the sauce for different experiences) and the tuna tartare with caviar in a tin can. If I can eat tin cans like that everyday for the rest of my life, I'd be a happy girl! My only complaint is the hand roll really fell flat after all the amazing courses - but I suppose it's a good way to wind down. read more

In A Nutshell: -Yui Edomae Sushi was such a great find! -Vegas has so many great sushi restaurants & Yui is definitely at or near the TOP of the list. -Don't let the non-descript strip mall fool you. -Once you're inside you are instantly transported to Japan. -The small size of the restaurant w/ it modern, minimal design sets the right mood for a culinary art journey of 95% imported cuts from Japan. -This is a place where you celebrate w/ someone who loves sushi/sashimi & rare seafood. -They have 3 omakase menus ranging from $190+. -The Gensen menu was a really good choice, its the $190 menu per person. -The variety of dishes were profound & I left very joyful + stuffed. -The sushi chef always had a smile in his face & he took great pride in serving us. Overall, this is a very, very good sushi restaurant that is expensive but totally worth the money. Check out my photos!! read more

Location: off strip in standalone building next to Shanghai Plaza. Has its own parking out front. Ambiance: Quiet elegance, Japanese minimalist style. Food: Omakase only (two options, plus a sake pairing option). Both have same number of items, just different fish and additional waygu dish. We ordered one of each so we can try all the items. Traditional edomae sushi, simple presentation featuring the fish. No excessively strong sauce or flavors. The fish is the star here. Solid value for the quality and quantity of fish. We enjoyed the meal and will be back. read more

Delicious sushi. Very fresh fish and the rice is amazing. My only bone to pick is the pieces are too small and I leave hungry after spending like $600 with alcohol for my husband and I. This is hubs' favorite sushi restaurant in America. I can see why but I can't justify paying that much and still be hungry. Everything we had from the omakase was delicious. The baby crab was one of my favorites. I think I can skip their drinks in general. They were good but add up too much and too quick. read more

Let me start off by saying Yui Edomae did not disappoint! There's been a few mixed reviews lately but our experience was on point; food, service and drinks. We were the only ones seated at the sushi bar so we had the undivided attention of chef Kaz to ourselves. We ordered the Kansha omakase; one with sake pairing. As with most sushi restaurants, each dish was described as it was served. The tempo of which it was served was just right. The appetizer included wagyu tartare with quail egg, simmered bluefin and snow crab meat. That was followed by a clear owan soup then a sashimi sampler. The grilled plate included abalone and wagyu. Eleven types of nigiri followed that had shiokko yellowtail, otoro, maaji, ikura, uni, toro with caviar and anago. I was really surprised with the quality of the rice. Chef Kaz said it was koshihikari from Niigata. This was one of the best rice I've had at any sushi restaurant. I should have asked for the brand. For dessert we had a choice of anmitsu or cheesecake with lychee sorbet. The price is not cheap but considering the quality of the food, sake and service it was worth every penny. I would recommend Yui Edomae and will be back. read more

Yui Edomae Sushi - tonight's omakase dinner - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Is there any such thing as a perfect meal? If you are looking for an authentic Japanese meal with plenty of variety and small portions, this is the place. We opted for the tasting menu, which included a primer when each course was served. The chef's attention to detail was present in every dish - no small feat for our party of 7. The quality of the fish is outstanding. I even ate my uni (which I normally pass on!). read more

As soon as we paid for the check, the service ended as well. We couldn't even get tea anymore and the check was more than $1000 for 3 of us. The food was really average, bad for $$$$$ Omakase. The sashimi was tiny and the toro was..... The caviar dish was rice at the bottom, salmon roe in the middle (tiny salted ikura, not impressive ) Nothing was amazing or impressive. Only thing I will remember is how bad the service was. read more

The service was great. Presentation is a work of art. Delicious on every single thing served.

Simple and chic ambiance, the cuisine speaks for itself. Parking: Parking on site, located off the strip in Chinatown, 10-15 minutes from the Conrad ResortWorld hotel. Ambience: Simple, unique, minimalistic design Service: Staff were very friendly and attentive, explaining each detail of the meal. What we ordered: Premium Omakase for two, half a bottle of sake. Primary difference between the 3 omakase sets was the most expensive one was with the sake pairing, the 2nd menu option had the same items on the most expensive, but no sake pairing. The last set had a few less pieces than the premium omakase. Our set also included a blue aperitif, wine from California. (Delicious) The food: The staff will start you off with a few appetizers, preparing your body on the amazing journey that lies ahead. Leading you into a soup, they will also bring out the wagyu that is on the menu, including birth certificate of the cow you are about to enjoy. My first experience with this. You will see a charcoal plate with wagyu and ocean trout with tartar sauce (amazing) The omakase experience: Chef is dedicated to his craft, each piece that comes together from this man's hands is like magic, flavors that compliment each other and just melt in your mouth. The restaurant receives shipments of fish every day with connections across the Japanese fish market all over Japan, the quality of product reflects the price you are paying. Food that stood out: The A5 Wagyu charcoal plate, delicious, buttery, it's a5 wagyu. The ocean trout with tartar sauce. Just delicious, I love tartar sauce but the meatiness and thickness of the ocean trout was just amazing. Overall Rating: The overall experience was amazing, great service, food, staff, it's a very small and intimate restaurant with private rooms if you wish to dine like that. The restaurant is small and not big in the dining room, but everything had its place for when the chef needed to use it. The ambiance could be better, the lighting was a bit off in the restaurant and did not feel like a premium fine dining experience, but the fish spoke for itself. Come here and you won't be disappointed. I'd say if they improved on the décor and the ambiance, solid 5/5 stars for everything. Current rating: 4/5 read more

Really disappointed with our visit to Yui Edomae Sushi. It was the most expensive dinner and probably the worst part was expecting to pay $68/pp for the nigiri tasting menu but arrived to a revised menu with the lowest option being $180. This change was not even indicated on their website. We still gave the omakase a chance but we really should have walked out. Probably the best thing about this restaurant was that they were responsive for booking a reservation via email. For the price the meal was below average, there were too many bad dishes and sushi pieces to justify coming here again. The highlights for me were the wagyu skewer, uni, and kamashita. The rest of the menu was just bad. No point in using fresh fish flown in from Japan if it's going to be either over cooked and dry or flavorless and bland as a nigiri course. I wish I could say positive things about the service but our server didn't refill our drinks and spoke so fast when explaining our courses we could not understand one word. read more

Still amazing! Second time here, the first was about five years ago. It is expensive, just get that out of the way. But the food is the best sushi I have ever had, period. The variety of fish and food that I would otherwise never get to try makes this a truly special experience. We sat at the sushi bar, and the personal service was great. The place is set up to truly highlight the amazing food. There is nothing flashy, just a simple traditional restaurant with the best sushi in town. I can't emphasize how good the food is! So good! read more

Really amazing sushi experience with ability to upgrade or downgrade the experience. Service was attentive and informative. Beverage pairing was available with an up-charge. The sushi experience was great and the fish was flown fresh from Japan ! I wish I was seated at the counter for a more engaged experience but even without being physically proximal to the chef , the dinner was great and fun ! I had not tasted such amazing flavor profile and variety before. This was great evening despite an unassuming location. read more

Simplified Review at the Bottom, From the moment you step into Yui Edomae, you realize the emphasis on their atmosphere. The decor is simple and sleek, instantly charming my party and me. Like the decor, the food is presented in a particular manner. Each serving is beautiful beginning, from the starters to sushi to dessert. My personal favorites were the wagyu on the hot plate and the uni nigiri. However, I admit the sushi was a bit lackluster for the 230$ price tag listed. I feel some fish items were not standing out as they should, but this is relative to the price tag. The service and atmosphere though do carry their weight. The house was welcoming and hospitable. Food: 3.5/5 There are definite standouts(Ex: Wagyu dishes, uni, tuna), but there are a notable amount of dishes that slightly missed the mark. Service: 4.5/5 Service was attentive by all employees Atmosphere: 5/5 Beautiful interior. Lighting is on the darker side for those who wish to bring cameras. read more

Definitely a hidden spot to find when it's on the side of a massage parlor building. Lol but I like the exclusiveness of its location. Their aesthetic if very intimate by the size of their restaurant and limited amount of seating. I like how they keep it private with the traditional Japanese shoji panel doors at the entrance after the receptionist lobby. Immediately you see a fridge display of their finest fatty tuna (otoro) from Hokkaido. I was seated in front for an edomae style omakase to be served by none other than the master chef himself, Gen Mizoguchi! What a pleasure it was! For this type of dining experience, you have to reserve ahead of time because of the demand and preparation needed to provide such high quality dishes and service. Everything they provide is transported all the way from several parts of Japan and Hawaii. He only uses such rare ingredients in his mastery including house-made recipes he created. This is why he's one of the only few chefs in Las Vegas who can perform and perfect edomae. They lay out all their ingredients in front as their focal point so you can see how precise and detailed they are with preparing their fish like art. Both Mizoguchi and his team love to give detain about their craft individually as they serve it in front of you. You get the story behind where it's from, how it's preserved, what grade it is certified at, etc! Especially when they recommend what sake you should pair your fish with. Overall experience, I felt like VIP. It's the price you pay for good fish and service. read more

Eater highly recommends Yui Edomae and this was our chosen sushi restaurant for our Vegas trip. I contacted the restaurant early and inquired whether it would be appropriate for a family and they replied affirmatively. As a traditional Omakase restaurant, they have only set menus with a focus on nigiri and sashimi. The options range from a nigiri only set ($68) to an appetizer, soup, grilled course with sashimi and sushi ($210). As most of the stellar reviews focused on their edomae nigiri, we opted for the nigiri-only set and planned to order add-on items as needed. For the younger members of our party, we planned to choose among the a la carte options. Unfortunately, after seating and arrival, the only options are the prix fixe menus and add-on nigiri priced per piece. I wasn't entirely surprised but the communication had been different. They did have A5 Wagyu as an add-on option. We stuck with our plan and ordered our nigiri set and while the presentation was nice and the quality fine, the quantity left a lot to be desired. As many more recent reviews state, the nigiri size are among the smallest I've seen (and I'm not a fan of the monstrous sizes from non-traditional Chinese or Korean preparations) with pieces being 20% the normal Japanese sushi presentation. If the chosen cuts had been notable or interesting or if the rice standout, it may have been worthwhile but we had very average cuts including sake, maguro, zuke maguro, anago, tamago. The uni, ikura, and Negitoro are nice but I expected at least one shell fish and more variety such as hotate, amaebi, aji, shimaaji, or Saba. To make sure my observations on size weren't limited to our base nigiri set, I ordered the most expensive add on nigiri, the caviar toro. It was sized similarly. Overall, with high expectations given the Japanese food in Vegas (Raku), I left underwhelmed compared to Omakase I've had in LA or Texas let alone SF or Japan. Perhaps we weren't the right clientele and I can see Yui delivering for adult clientele with a business expense card who could keep ordering until completely full. Given the Chinatown location and surrounding level of competition, I didn't expect a Strip price and value proposition here. I'd echo Lori N's review and for those who can only choose a select few restaurants when they visit, please make sure you are aware of the points made by many of the reviews. Yui Edomae accepts credit cards including AmEx. read more

Pretty great high end omakase in a not particularly nice strip mall with an intense looking marine bar behind it. Some pretty interesting fish that I haven't tried and I've tried a lot of fish. Probably doesn't make sense to discuss particular dishes since it'll likely be different when you go, but this place is worth the expense and seemingly not that hard to get a table at. read more

I dined at Yuki Edomae Sushi tonight for my birthday. The overall meal exceed my expectations. The grill platter and the nigiri courses were my absolute favorite. The nigiri course had some of the best uni and roe that I've ever had in my entire life. Two servers took care of me, they were attentive, friendly, and gave wonderful introductions to every course. I appreciated that the dining area was windowless and only had 3 main tables, this made for an inviting and intimate atmosphere. I'll definitely visit this restaurant again for another memorable Omakase experience. Compliments to the chef. read more

We came back with some friends because we had had such a stellar experience when we visited for our first time last year. Unfortunately not this time. We did the same Kansha premium omakase with wine pairings, as we did last time. First, service was particularly slow. We were waiting on courses one at a time. In terms of the food, we loved the nigiri courses and kitchen items, but I will note that the shari lacked the deep, rich flavor that we've gotten used to with the sushi places we've visited. And the sushi chefs were not as interactive as on our last visit. I did still very much enjoy the toro + caviar dish, as well as the spoonful of uni on top of rice. The tamago was a let-down though. That was the one thing that stood out about Yui compared to the other sushi places we've visited. The tamago just didn't have the same fluffiness we had experienced on our previous visit. We'd been touting this place all along our sushi trail, but we're sad to say, this one has dropped in rank among the omakase's we've been to. read more

An amazing experience, the best omakase sushi bar in Las Vegas, and well worth a trip to the city specifically for this. They are obsessive enough to have an in-house rice polishing machine, due to humidity damaging sushi rice quickly here, which they run every day. Fish was flawless, an extensive selection, and brought mostly from Japan. One of the highlights was a 270 pound tuna they used in entirety. Excellent a5 wagyu with certificate. Very friendly and knowledgeable chefs, attentive and excellent waitress. This is a "very special occasion" place due to difficulty getting reservations, but is a actually a great value for the price -- $120-300 or so per person, which is an excellent value compared to other high end restaurants in Las Vegas, or sushi places in New York, California, rtc read more

Honestly, I'm mind blown how detailed and how amazing our dinner was. I love edomae style sushi and this is definitely my favorite. I'm from SF and there's so many omakase/ Michelin star sushi restaurants but this was an unforgettable experience and dinner. The sake pairing went so well and I loved the A5 wagyu and certificate. The black throat perch just melted in my mouth. The botan ebi was amazingly fresh and loved how they served the head instead of turning it fried or miso. The soy sauce is aged for three years. The wasabi is from Japan and grated on shark skin. Caviar with three types of tuna served with a mother of pearl spoon. Lastly, I loved the service and how the chef is from Japan. Thank you for making my experience amazing, we will definitely be back! read more

Had an amazing experience during my first omakase sushi. It was a very intimate setting where we received excellent service from all the staff. Chose to sit at the bar to get the full show. It was on the costly side, but you're paying for the presentation, fresh ingredients from Japan, and top tier sake. Tons of other little details like hand ground wasabi root made it even better. Favorites were the A5 Wagyu, crab chip, and toro. Definitely worth it and will be recommending to anyone who is willing to pay for an experience. Don't go if you're looking for a regular sushi spot, this isn't it. read more

You know how you can tell when reviewers are posers - go read some of these 1 star reviews. These are the same people who think Jiro is crappy for being in a subway station. Tip: don't eat here if you can't afford it, or if you want to feed your lard ass a buffet, or if you have no idea what Japanese haute cuisine is like. This is hands down an elevated sushi experience on par with what you get in NYC, LA and Tokyo - yes, we've eaten at the top sushi places around the world. It's spectacular. So much so that it's name checked in a bestselling poker book. Winners and ballers know the truth. That is why they eat here and sing it's praises. Every piece of fish tastes like clean fresh ocean. There is some aging. There is minimal saucing. Just fish at its finest quality. It's pricy. Can't deny that. To get this level fish in the desert?? You get what you pay for. The best. Gen-san is a master. We bow in deep respect. We will be going back again and again. The rest of the posers and haters. Just walk around the corner to the other cheap sushi places. This place is for ballers and winners only. read more

Overall had a great experience here. Came here during COVID regulations and the all the employees had masks on and very kind. The restaurant was relatively empty but we were seated in a secluded room which was nice. We chose the Kansha and Gen's Selection omakase experience. (Kansha is the most expensive). The whole experience took about almost 2 hours but it definitely didn't feel like it since we enjoyed our time here so much. The employees walked us through each dish and explained how it was presented. They even showed us a cow certification for the wagyu beef. Random observation: their table is extremely soft and smooth This was definitely a splurge but was very much worth it. read more

We arrived for our 6:00 pm omakase reservation and immediately seated at the bar. We could tell that it was going to be a great experience from the time we were greeted by the hostess. The restaurant is small but nice and simple decor and very clean. The bathroom was extremely clean. We met our two chefs who are from Japan. Our waitress is also from Japan. With each course, we were given thorough explanations. We chose the $190 omakase menu and we were all very full. The fish were amazing. The presentation of each course was excellent. We felt that we received personalized attention and were very well taken care of. I highly recommend this place. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Vegas. read more

Yui Edomae Sushi - Our $190 omakase menu. - Japanese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This was our first visit to the restaurant and since the ratings were so high, we did not hesitate much and picked the $210 Omakase. The set included an alcoholic drink, 5 dishes, 1 bowl of soup, 7 pieces of sushi, 1 hand roll, 1 tamago, and a desert: 1. blueberry champagne 2. Wagyu beef tartare with quail egg yolk, abalones, and squid 3. Owan Soup 4. 4 kinds of sashimi with oyster 5. Wagyu beef skewer, lobster, and a piece of fish 6. 5 pieces of sushi 7. Marinated salmon roe 8. Urchin sushi 9. Tuna with caviar 10. Sea eel sushi 11. Tamago 12. Salmon hand roll 13. Desert was green tea ice cream with peanut powder and Yuzu cheesecake/mochie When we entered, there was only one chef behind the bar serving three tables but all dishes were not prepared by him. He only served us the sushi pieces. Unlike other omakases we have tried, he did not slice fishes in front of us but prepared them ahead of time and assembled the sushi. Service was good, the waitress welcomed us and we were seated really quickly even though we arrived a little early. The only suggestion I have on the service side was for them not to explain in details the origin of the wagyu beef we had. We were shown the age, name, gender, parents, grandparents, social security, and nose print of the cow... Wish I had stopped the waiter before he started. On the dishes we had, most of them came from Japan, including the rice, hence the price range. My favorites included the wagyu tartare, abalone, wagyu skewer, salmon roe, and desert. Overall, we were a little disappointed with the meal. Most of the ingredients did come from Japan but with that price range we expected more from the set. Sushi pieces were towards the smaller side and dishes were served in a really fast pace. There were no breaks in between each dish and we finished the whole set, including the desert, in about an hour. We do not recommend this place. read more

We ate here last night and we felt shocked about this place. My friend made reservation and I didn't know anything about this restaurant. He said he made reservation for omakase and it costs $210 pp. we thought the place would be very nice since we pay $210 pp plus tax and tips. When we arrived the place. We were shocked to see the restaurant is located in a ghetto asian shopping center. The restaurant is tiny with no decorations at all. 10 of us sat in a tiny room. (We are in the US and the restaurant and dinning room are tiny just how in Japan. Maybe this is a plus for them.) Any way, the foods were just ok, the portions were small, and there were no decorations on the foods. Just plan pieces of fish on rices. I would never come back here again. If i pay $270 pp (after tips and tax), I expect the place is nice and the foods are excellent and look good on the decor side. read more

This would've been 5 stars if it wasn't for a cockroach crawling up the wall behind the sushi chef - once you see it, you cannot unsee it.. Now as far as the food and the service go - I noticed that some reviewers complained about the service being slow, but that was not our experience at all. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, and if anything, checked in on us a little too frequently. He did a fabulous job advising on the menu, describing the dishes, and answering questions. Above and beyond - 5/5! I consider myself an adventurous eater, but even I tried a couple of things for the first time. Come here with an open mind and trust the chef. Definitely don't expect rolls or the usual sushi menu. This certainly felt authentic and unique - an experience, not just a meal. I didn't love every bite I took, but it was a great mix that overall added up to a fabulous experience (minus the cockroach). read more

Truely a tasting menu - smallest of cuts and portions. also, it is more of a kaiseki style then omakase - keep that in mind. So if you were hoping this place would provide a more variety seasonal fishes, this is not it. It has some cuts, but also an even amount of appetizers. how many ways are they going to reuse Toro/Tuna? The price is normal, a little less than other omakase places that run $200+ (ursawa $600+ /pp) I am not impressed with this place. Okay for the try, wouldn't return. read more

Recommend sitting at the 10-seat sushi bar if possible as I think nigiri tastes better served one at a time to preserve the temperature of the fish and rice. They have 3 main omakase menus. After looking at reviews, we opted for the main omakase ($120) as the main difference was A5 Wagyu need, which we didn't think was worth the upcharge. Like others have mentioned, be prepared for small portions. You can also choose a la carte sushi items, which changes daily. Overall, service was attentive and glasses were kept full. House made sake: very refreshing and good palate cleanser. Appetizer: tuna cheek, bamboo shoots, fried fish. Flavors were nice, but portions for each were very small. There was just enough of each for you to appreciate the flavors, but have a yearning for more. Yuzu mochi soup: I look a good soup and the dashi broth had lots of umami flavors. Sashimi: tuna (akami), salmon (ikura), medium fatty tuna (chu Toro), premium baby yellowtail (shiokko), oyster from seattle. Enjoyed all the pieces except the shiokko, which surprisingly was not as tender as hamachi. Probably the most disappointing thing about this course was the portion of the sashimi (see pics). I would be surprised if there is another sushi restaurant that serves smaller sizes. Each fish came as 2 pieces, which TOTAL was probably 3/4 the portion on an average nigiri fish. Grilled food: Sea bass (miso forward flavors and a favorite among the group), bluefin tuna, fish collar, potatoes. Nigiri: Marbled rockfish (kasago), Akami (tuna), marbling snapper (ishigaki tai), marinated tuna (zuke), med fatty tuna (chu toro), ikura (salmon roe), uni, mashed Toro, sea eel (anago), egg (tamago). Appreciated the warm rice. Like others have said, be prepared for probably one of, if not, the smallest nigiri portions. This was especially true for the uni, which I also felt that the pace that the sushi given was quite fast and didn't let me appreciate each piece as much as I wanted to. Tuna (Zuke) handroll: Enjoyed that the tuna was not mashed like most handrolls. Only thing I wished was that it came before the tamago. Dessert: red bean mochi, hojicha ice cream. Nice refreshing way to finish the meal. Overall, the quality of the fish was great. However, for the price, I would expect more than mini-size portions. The sushi was also very tuna heavy, which were fantastic, but would have appreciated a bit more variety. read more
