I had the wine list, and menu quickly, and began planning my culinary journey, but wines first. “Colorful” is another apt descriptor too - bright colors everywhere! I was seated at a little 2-top, facing the windows, but those are frosted, and several wrapped with signage, readable from the concourse, so it is not as though I had a view. Some are a bit more subtle, but most are large, bold and very prominent. Almost everywhere, there are arcs and circles, and I mean everywhere. The décor? Oh well, let’s try eclectic again. The restaurant is divided into a dining area, with is much larger, than it appeared from the outside, and then a bar, with both interior spaces, and seating, out on the concourse of the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian/Palazzo (though we have stayed at each before, I still do not know where one ends, and the other begins), so not quite al fresco, but it almost seems to be, given how open it is. I was not sure how I had imagined Brazillian-Peruvian-Japanese Cuisine to be, but was not totally prepared for what I encountered - Eclectic - there’s that word again. I chose SushiSamba for one dinner, and it WAS “interesting.” Eclectic is the very first word, that pops into my mind - Eclectic, in almost every way: the cuisine, the interior, everything. As I was dining solo (she had business dinners the entire trip), I was looking for a few new, or interesting restaurants. Cheers!Īn Interesting Dinner in June We were staying at the Venetian in June, for a series of business meetings for my wife. I'm pretty sure it won't be another 5 years until I return. It's definitely $$$ pricing but the ambiance, service and the creative and tasty dishes is definitely a win. Sushisamba has survived on the Las Vegas Strip for over a decade and I can see why. This was a good ramen for an Asian fusion restaurant that doesn't specialize in this. The thin ramen noodles were soft and fresh and I was happy to see a full boiled egg cut in half here. Tonkotsu Ramen - Tasty broth and they were generous with the pork serving. Yellowtail Tiradtito - Savory and fantastic. Bigeye tuna, tempura flake, aji panca makes the Neo Tokyo roll visually appealing and a tasty sushi roll. Neo Tokyo Roll - Named after the class anime movie, this roll was a table favorite to share. Paired with the peruvian corn made this my favorite dish. The seabass was fresh and perfectly skewered. Tiny in size but packed with flavor, this is a definite revisit Seabass skewers with peruvian corn - Absolutely yum. Sushishamba cuisine: Crispy Yellowtail Taquitos - This was a delicious and creative appetizer. Our main server was a huge help with the menu and checked on us frequently Her assistant kept our drinks fresh throughout lunch. Definitely social media friendly and can make for a great date night dinner in the evening. Sushisamba ambiance & service: The contemporary Asian dining area looks like a set straight from a Jpop video. This visit was a business lunch with friends and Sushisamba did great. Otherwise food was great.It's been a good 5+ years since my visit. Proceed with caution and don’t order the vegetarian speciality roll on the gf menu. They did all the right things under the circumstances but I was just broken by the experience. The chef came out and was super apologetic. The staff took great care of us after and took my contact info. It was so hard because there’s nothing you can do once you eat it. They comped our entire meal and the rest of the stuff that we ordered I knew would be handled correctly. She said the sauce from the roll actually had soy sauce in it, a tiny amount but gluten nonetheless. She apologized profusely and I could tell she was so haunted by this, mostly because she had just shared that she would keep us safe. The roll, the vegetarian roll, she discovered was not safe for us. At this point the manager came back, crouched down and shared that she had some bad news. After we ate those rolls….it went downhill. The other roll we got was vegetarian and so crisp and delicious. We got this salmon ponzu roll that had the most delicious sauce. Our first rolls were delivered and they were so delicious. After we ordered the manager came over and told me she would ensure my order was gluten free and she would take good care of us. I only wanted fish - thought the rolls were the safest options. He assured me we were good as long as we stuck to the gf menu. There’s a special gluten free menu, I talked to the waiter and told him I have celiac. The place was mostly empty so I felt confident they could handle gluten free. This is a hard review to write because I have so many good things and one awful thing to share.
