- foodMy experience at this excellent sushi restaurant in Summerlin was fantastic. Everything tasted great, and the fish was incredibly fresh. The rolls were huge, so much so that I couldn't even finish them all.
- sushiWhile it's not an all-you-can-eat establishment, that shouldn't deter you from trying this place. I truly believe this place is amazingly delicious. I've been to many sushi spots, and I felt I tried completely different takes on rolls.
- fishThick pieces of fish on Sushi & Sashimi are also very fresh and delicious.
- rollsFor under $50, two people could eat and drink well. I'd rate this place slightly above Sapporo because my rice was fresh and had the right consistency, and the rolls were made to order. We finished with strawberry and mango mochi, which were perfectly chilled and delicious.
- sashimiFreshness of the sashimi and fish in general is unparalleled
- bentoMy experience at this restaurant was positive, especially for their Japanese food. Although it's a bit far for me now since I've moved, I would still go back and grab a bento when I'm in the area and have the time. It's more like a 4.
- portionsMy experience at the restaurant was great! Although the seating area inside is small, the menu was fantastic, offering generous portions and incredibly fresh ingredients. The sushi was particularly fantastic and very fresh.
- black riceMy experience at the restaurant was quite good. I had a Unique sushi roll with black rice. Everything was quite good, and the place was clean and friendly.
- bento boxgot the bento box with spicy garlic shrimp. Also, it’s pretty cute inside.
- chicken katsu currychicken katsu curry... really good!

Amazing Chirashi Don and Well-Seasoned Rolls
Our experience at the restaurant was great, especially since we visited when it was quieter than usual. The chirashi don was amazing! I adored the way they seasoned the rice; I would’ve finished it all if I weren’t sharing.
The spicy tuna roll was also seasoned well. The prompt service contributed to a pleasant visit.

Bento Box Experience with a Few Hits
I specifically came for the bento box. I tried the spicy shrimp, which I wasn't a fan of, but the other box I had was chicken katsu. Despite not liking the spicy shrimp, everything else was very good, including the basic California roll.
I'll definitely be returning.
