Japanese sushi bar with teppanyaki grills and fresh seafood
"As part of a collaborative menu with iconic Hawaiian-based chef Roy Yamaguchi, a long-tail red snapper (called onaga by Yamaguchi) was served with a beautiful golden-brown crust over a tangy yuzu miso beurre blanc. Pops of salty salmon roe, finger lime, and fresh chives provided contrast, while a lineup of heirloom beets and fennel rounded out the soft, comforting flavors. Yamaguchi, once steward of a vast empire of Hawaiian-inflected restaurants, was in good spirits in the dining room — a reminder that old-school principles and quality ingredients still yield tasty results." - Janna Karel
"A late-night option at the Resorts World bar where the reviewer took a small, focused meal: starting with a king crab roll and then a plate of ponzu-topped bluefin tuna tartare. The dish’s presentation was praised—“rounded by a spiral of wasabi and crisp lotus chips to balance out the high-quality tuna.” The reviewer notes a general preference—“I normally don’t eat at very many Japanese lounges like this, but for a late meal, something about raw fish and a little bit of seasoned rice works better than a burger or plate of pasta”—and adds, “I don’t need low-grade tobiko caivar or gold leaf to enjoy this dish, but those ingredients don’t work in a lot of other dishes. When it comes to Japanese lounge fare, just embrace the small faux-luxuries.” — Matthew Kang, lead editor." - Eater Staff
