text: Insanely good find!\n\nWe were visiting from out-of-town and staying on the strip, but decided to check out something a bit outside the \"normal\" zone. This place was rated highly on Yelp, and so a taxi-ride later ($20), we were there. Where \"there\" is exactly is hard to say for us, and we had to look around to find the exact location of the place (it's in the middle \"island\" building on the right). It's located right in the middle of some Korean restaurants, and is definitely not your standard \"strip\" business - it's not at all notable from the outside.\n\nThe inside is another matter. We chose to sit at the bar to watch the itamae at work, but we liked the set up of the tables and the main room. I was immediately intrigued by the aquariums in the back that housed live flounder, prawns, and abalone. I inquired about the abalone (it wasn't on the menu), and was a bit taken aback at the price ($25), but ordered it anyway due to the fact that we were on vacation, and I couldn't recall ever seeing it on a menu before. It was fantastic - very nice, firm, texture and a very oceany- (almost uni-like) taste.\n\nI decided to have some of the prawn, too (also not on the menu), and was very pleased with that, too. They serve the prawn raw, first, and after you've had the tail, they then tempura-fry the head. It was extraordinary!\n\nWe had some other dishes, too: some of them ordered by us, and some of them presented to us by the owner (we ordered a few things that weren't in-stock, and I think it was a very nice and appreciated gesture). Everything we had, from start to finish, was just excellent: fresh tako, hamachi, and unagi sushi, and a HUGE \"special\" maki roll. The sake was good, and reasonably priced too. I was so full by the end of the meal, I couldn't fit any uni, and that's a first for me!\n\nThe only (very minor) complaint I have is that they didn't have closed-captioning on the TV's. \n\nI highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic meal of sushi in Vegas.. It doesn't have the ambiance of a Tao or Koi, and it's not a teppenyaki place, but that's not what I'm looking for in a sushi restaurant anyway. We spent over $50/person (because we wanted to..the food was GOOD!) but could just as easily have spent $25/person if we wanted to be more wallet-conscious.\n\nWe'll definitely be going back the next time we're there!
