for the $$$ i prefer Matsuhisa

for this occasion, doesn't need to be World Class...

thanks for the suggestion

Only one person can give you the best answer here.

WK!

i cant agree with you there, Hunter

Risten to Hunter, komazoom. He is find the access of dimension to wisdom, and he grab it with two arms, to hold for now and also benefit in future usage.

Is wise to surround your dinner with simple choice of one Japanese cuisine? Experience the buffets, of asian bounty. Eat all you see.
Enjoy frisky buffet service in the strip. I am plentiful with envy.

im sorry i asked

You are not appear of asking approach, more instead like saying what you know, heavens! So, do not need of being sorry. Please, enjoy the buffet with sophisticated of style.

Nobu at the Hard Rock. Make reservations no matter what day though.

thanks for the suggestion but that was already mentioned... im not as big of fan as others about Nobu

kumazam - i know exactly what you are looking for...non high profile down home japanese joint. if you find any...let me know too

will do

Jasmine

Star -

are you referring to Jasmine in the Bellagio? it's Chinese...

the japanese place in bellagio is called shintaro?

I don't know about fancy places in Las Vegas, but I heard that in general, most Japanese and Thai restaurants are owned by Chinese and Korean bbq restaurants are strictly Korean owned. I don't know if it's true tho.

Yeah, Jasmine is Chinese.

This might be too late, but try Osaka. They have three locations all off Strip, with a location on Eastern Ave. in Henderson.

about one mile west of Treasure Island, not on the strip, but a mile or maybe two miles west, is a small Asian area with numerous restaurants. They have nothing to do with the hotels and probably the food is more authentic and 30% the cost.
Ask a cabbie.

perfect timing guys, i was thinking of bumping this thread today... might be going this weekend (the restaurant request is for over New Year's weekend) so if i do will inquire about the above.

thanks again!

This is the "Chinatown" area of town. It's on Spring Mountain Rd. Mostly Chinese food, with a lot of Korean and Vietnamese restaurants springing up all over. Mostly really good, authentic and cheap. My office is about two blocks north of the area, so I eat down there all the time. No Japanese restaurants, though.

As an aside, don't forget about Lotus of Siam for Thai if you like that cuisine. It's really good. I go there frequently for lunch. It's in the Commercial Center on East Sahara, about a mile east of the Strip. There's another Thai place in the same center called Komol that is also really popular with the Thai community. My buddy is half Thai, and he says their food is more like what his mom cooks. A little more "down-home," I guess. I forget there's a really good Japanese restaurant in that center as well, called Tokyo (how original).

I'd stick with Osaka for off Strip Japanese though. Been there a zillion times, and never disappointed. It usually wins the annual "Best of" readers poll award from the local newspaper, so it's popular with the locals.

Have fun in Vegas.

So far, you did nothing but belittle others' suggestions for entirely narcissistic reasons. This leads me to believe you are not interested in the opinions, and you're just showing off in front of good folks of WS. I've noticed this disposition in your posts before. How old are you? 23, 24?
You should visit the trumpet site, they are all about your age there.

thanks again

You welcome.

what's up with that

ricky -

didn't you read the above?!?!? my constant, narcissistic and persistant belittling of other members responses to my posts!

i'm going to check out Rex's suggestions of Osaka & Tokyo when i go, i'll let you know how they are

What's wrong with that? The man knows what he wants. And there is a HUGE difference between Chinese and Japanese cuisine.

Nice try, but I don't think his Mom will allow him to see you. And besides, a man at 23? Are you kidding me?


Thanks for advice on Chinese vs. Japanese cuisine. You're just the person I'd like to hear it from.

LOL. Hey, kumazam, I've been the butt of a few of coolbronson's posts too, but I think the guy
is a riot. He brings some life to this board. I get more laughs from his posts than from just about all the others.

Board-O

its cool - i know its just because he's still bitter about that whole Taco Salad incident with his a$$

let it go man, just let it go...

I liked the discussions he had with Tsunami. Three of them were classics.

I know this was a month ago, but I just read it and I am laughing so hard, my daughter just asked if I was laughing at her reading. This guy kills me. And, I was so glad to find out that there is a big difference between Japanese and Chinese food. Who knew?
