Visited for Lunch on 8/2/2022
Japanese style restaurant with a friendly and inviting atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The color scheme is one of comfort: think gold and maroon. Surrounds you with warmth, even though you’re still inside the casino.
In walking up, they asked if I had any dietary restrictions right at check-in and took note of my name. So, when my server (Taylor) came over, he greeted me by name (which was fun) and offered some suggestions based on what I provided to the host.
Throughout the lunch, Taylor was so nice, fun to chat with and engaging! As a solo diner he really made the experience a delight.
The veggie/vegan menu is well rounded; drunken noodles came with a very high recommendation! But, I was warned it is a little bit larger of a portion, so since I was not too hungry, I opted for Seaweed Salad to start and I got a few rolls.
The seaweed salad was nice. Perfectly crunchy with sesame seeds. It had a nice texture and sauce, and was not heavy.
I ordered two rolls, the Rainbow Roll and the Vegan Eel Roll.
The Rainbow Roll was very fresh, almost like a salad in sushi form. Crunchy veggie top, refreshing! I’d say if you got a salad, you likely don’t need another fresh entree, so this one could be one to skip.
Now, the Vegan Eel Roll is one of the best vegan rolls I’ve ever had! Texture was so fun. Crispy top and onion inside. The sauce on top is sweet and tangy, so by itself you have almost a sweet roll, but once dipped in the soy sauce, it becomes a sweet and tangy roll. It’s a really nice balance, specifically with the braised tofu on the top. It’s not often you have restaurants push their limits with vegan rolls, so I was thoroughly impressed. Definitely would suggest.
Overall, with the pleasant service, tasty foods, and willingness to accommodate any patron, I’ll say this was a wonderful meal and service experience. Definite recommendation from me!
