For being just 10 minutes off the strip, this place is a great lunch spot if you're hungry for solid food and don't want to drop Strip buffet prices. The sushi is well made, the imitation krab meat is identified honestly, and during our early lunch service the sushi bar was well stocked. If you love salmon, there's plenty. I particularly liked the seared salmon skin nigiri. It's just a little fattier and fishier (in a good way) than the regular salmon nigiri.
The tempura was crispy and delicate, really good by most restaurant standards (not just buffets). And the tempura dipping sauce was dispensed hot from a pump carafe to maximize your tempura enjoyment. I respect the attention to detail.
The staff are very attentive and great with drink refills. Yeah, I know they probably do that so you eat less, but it comes across as courteous and they remember what you had. My wife is particular to raspberry iced tea (not plain) and they made sure they brought her the right one. Props for that.
The only knocks against it are:
1) The ramen was kinda weak. I know it's sort of a filler dish, but the broth could have been stronger and the noodles more al dente.
2) they have the basic nigiri's (salmon, tuna), and some others like mackerel and claim. I would have loved to see something like yellowtail, otoro, or scallop instead or in addition.
3) the ice cream was a little old, as in the texture was a little gritty from ice crystals. Green tea flavor was average. Cant speak about the other desserts because I was stuffed, but they looked good.
Overall, this place is like a 4.6 out of 5. Solid buffet, very close to perfection with some room for improvement. But I'm putting this place down as a must-go whenever I'm back in Vegas. Hope they stay open for many more years.
