Coworkers called to check up on me and my jacked up back (I am okay now, just sored from packing and moving and not exercising enough of late) plus to go eat at Sushi Mon (not the one on Sahara and also the closer one) and I went to meet up with them. I didn't know it was that far until I called another coworker for directions, and realized it was \"Holy Cow! I am practically starting to drive back to California\" far. Last time I came here to eat, I just blindly followed Maryland Parkway all the way down until I reached the destination.\n\nWe arrived at 11:45am, when they opened and they already have 1/3 of the restaurant filled on a Wednesday. Coworkers have raved about this place for a good 9 months we been working together and the food they served I have enjoyed. And this time it was pretty good, except for the first order of sushi roll we were served (the rice tasted like it was old from last night). But after that the rice seemed fresh like the fresh super white tuna they served us.\n\nTip: Always check the specials of the day or ask the sushi chefs.\n\nToday's Special:\nSuper White Tuna - so good we ordered a second round, and highly recommended. \nCajun Salmon - it was alright\nJapanese Snapper- alright\nFresh Scallop - pretty good (I don't care for the yum yum scallops the Japanese sushi places serve here in general)\nYellowtail Belly - don't have it :(\nWe also ordered the limit 1 per customer items:\nUni - good\nAmaebi - good (but no deep fried heads)\nHamachi Kama(Yellowtail collar) - good. Makes an excellent meal with just rice.\n\nTried the poki roll (didn't look like what we ordered last time) and the rice was not fresh. It tasted like it was from the previous night.\n\nSpider Roll - huge and tasted great, but served with rice paper. Rice paper usually costs $1 more, but I still like it made with the traditional nori.\nPixie Roll - Another huge roll, and tasted good.\nVolcano Roll - Pretty good, but can be messy to eat. But sometimes messy is a good thing when it comes to food :)\n\nAlso order:\nMasago with Quail Eggs - it was beautiful and I enjoyed it\nTamago - The eggs are most likely ordered premade, and they just to cut it and assemble it with the rice and nori strip, but I liked it nonetheless.\nFresh Water Eel - not bad\n\nDesserts - we each picked different ones. I had the green tea ice cream, coworkers ordered the Lychee Sorbet (looks good), and Tempura Ice Cream (good).\n\nBUT after we asked for and signed for our credit cards and the waitress came and picked stuff off of our table, I suddenly see a confused cockroach stumbling from where the soy sauce bottles and AYCE menu is. I was in shocked and not sure where it came from, except maybe when the waitress came she might have set something down on the table, and grabbed our dessert bowls and left the unwanted hitchhiker. Or it drop from the sky via the ventilation vent, which does NOT have a filter in place. \n\nWe waved the waitress over and she was shocked and afraid of the roach as well, but hesitantly picked up a used napkin in from the table and dropped it on top of the cockroach and picked it up off the table. It was not the happy ending to our otherwise enjoyable meal, so -1 for that.\n\nSo 3 stars. Good place to get sushi for those living in the South South East of Las Vegas. And they have Caked next door, which have good cupcakes, and they are on TV! (But I digressed)
