I am giving two stars because our service was great and the appetizer was good. The food (including the sushi) was a letdown. Our app was the spicy edamame and it was awesome. I was happy with it because I learned something that I could easily make at home. The rest of the meal wasn't very exciting though. We ordered two sushi rolls-the tiger roll and crunchy eel. The tiger roll wasn't very spicy and the tuna on top was very mushy. The crunchy eel roll had a sad layer of \"crunch\" on the outside. I am used to crunchy rolls being covered with crunchy fried tempura, but this was just a deep fried roll. The eel also had a off taste-kind of like old fish. I have had eel plenty of times at our local sushi joint it is always tasted smoky and good, but this eel was too fishy and if there was an excess amount on the roll, it would have been unpleasant. Our entrees weren't great either. I had the seafood katayakisoba. I really like cioppino-an Italian fish stew, so I thought that this would be similar-at least that is how the server described it. The problem was that the dish had too many elements to make it enjoyable. The broth wasn't tasty. It didn't have the right amount of savor. It was slightly sweet and it didn't do anything to bring the many elements of the dish together. Also, the pieces of vegetables were too big to eat and were still too raw. I had to cut them up and let them soak before I could eat them. The fish all needed salt and the fried noodles tasted like pizza crust. It was so weird! Finally my wife's dish was the opakapaka lau lau. It comes to the table wrapped up in a banana leaf, reminiscent of steamed fish that we have had in Hawaii, but isn't actually baked in the leaf. The problem here was again the seasoning of the dish. The fish just didn't have nearly enough flavor. The potatoes that were served underneath the fish were bland. We didn't taste any of the coconut or ginger elements that are mentioned on the menu. The only thing that was good about was the banana chutney....the problem here was that there wasn't enough of it to be enjoyed with each bite of the fish. It needed about four times the amount that was served with it. My biggest gripe was the price of everything. Fish isn't cheap and this is an upscale restaurant, but our total was around $150 with a tip. No drinks or dessert and a $5 appetizer. It was a ripoff, and I wouldn't go back. The best thing that came of it was that now I know how to make spicy edamame and to skip the long drive from Summerlin to Lake Las Vegas in search of great fusion cuisine.
