Case: This is not the place to get rolls. Discovered that the hard way, despite reading so many reviews here that focused on the fresh nigiri and sashimi. I'll have to come back for the positive experience.\n\nOrdered take out using their website menu: seaweed salad, cherry blossom roll, paradise roll. Didn't see many rolls with salmon, and many contained tempura. Made my selection difficult, but they get a lot of reviews praising their rolls, so I figured I was safe.\n\nInside of restaurant is kind of divey with a large bar, which I like. Service was polite and friendly from the ladies at the counter. Three sushi chefs were present and busy when I was picking up.\n\nGot home to the messy cherry blossom roll. Confession: I love sushi, but I've never had a round roll like this. Verdict: not my thing. Too reminiscent of crab salad and avocado from a country club or buffet, little to no similarity to sushi. Wish this had been noted more clearly on the menu. Or at all.\nt was the Paradise roll, which sounded adventurous. In my haste to find a roll with salmon, I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the fact that there was tempura shrimp AND (way too much) cream cheese AND (sweet) coconut in this roll. Verdict: again, not my thing. Very sweet and creamy roll, bearing little to no similarity to sushi. The sweetness and the cheese covered up any fish taste.\nSeaweed salad was flavored appropriately but dismally small: whoever packed my order accidentally put the salad in the lid rather than the bottom of the container, and space was limited.\n\nDisappointed to have a negative experience at a place so many friends and Elites love and have reviewed favorably.  Overall, the rolls themselves are TOO Americanized, to the point that proportions of flavors are off and they're no longer sushi. I'll have to revisit and order exclusively off the fresh sashimi and nigiri specials next time for a separate review.

Case: Raku turned out to be one of those places that got me saying \""holy hellfire s, Yelp, thanks for letting me know!\""\n\nAs a fan of our local Yu Me Ya Sake House, Raku was already on the radar.  Our Sat night dinner confirmed the best of my expectations.\n\nTwo items in the surprisingly f'n good category were:\n- The fried and cold tofu.  Who could imagine, especially with cold tofu, that something could be so flavorful?  (Who could imagine that I'd even eat tofu when the meat menu was so lengthy?)\n- The Kobe beef tendon.  Our server warned that it's \""slimy.\""  It's not what I'd anticipated, after having tendon in pho and tweaking various tendons in my body.  Consistency of butter, and an incredibly rich bordering-on-foie-gras flavor... wow!\n\nOur server was very gracious and helpful with recommendations.  \n\nEven though it's in a strip mall, the interior is beautiful.\n\nThere will be another trip from the Strip there on my next Vegas excursion.

Case: I love to get some frozen treats at this location after having Pho next door. It cools me down and satisfy my craving for sweets after delicious pho . My favorite condiments are pecan and taro. I like the concept that you can put as many as different flavors of yogurts in your cup with different varieties of toppings. So you can try all the flavors in small amount. It's healthier to have yogurt than ice cream. That's my excuse to have some yogurts after a meal!!

Case: This restaurant is located in a shopping center hosting a number of restaurants including the wildly popular Firefly which shares the same ownership as the Dragonfly.  Unfortunately the Asian bistro concept has fallen on deaf wallets and, other than a few people at the bar; the restaurant was empty at 8:40PM this Monday evening.  In contrast, it was standing room only over at the Firefly.  My wifeordered a Thai beef salad with pickled cucumber in a warm spicy sauce which was excellent.  I ordered the banana leaf salmon steamed with miso and shitake mushrooms.  The Atlantic salmon was very good, but it obviously had not been steamed in the banana leaf which was cold to the touch.  A very good side dish of baby bok choy stir fried with oyster mushrooms was shared.

Case: I spent about three hours here with nothing to distract me...it was heaven.  You walk in past dimly lit waterfalls and pools filled with rocks to enter the cave-like spa.  They have the dipping pools (cold, warm, and hot) and a steam room and sauna (which are teeeeny!) luckily there were only like 2 other people inside when I went, otherwise I could see this place getting really crowded.\n\nWhen it was time for my brown sugar manicure, I headed upstairs to see Angel who was a sweetheart :) However, the atmosphere of the salon is much less impressive than the spa area...kind of like a get in, get it done, and get out vibe.  With a 100 spa credit from the hotel, I was happy with my manicure, but otherwise 65 dollars to get my hands rubbed with sugar and my nails polished would be a bit much.\n\nBut heyyy it's Vegas! Relax for a bit then head to Morea if you're staying in Mandalay bay...gotta love the \""european\"" day pool concept ;)

Considreing the above, classify the following: This restaurant has changed significantly from staff to the way the food tastes! It's been over 10 months since I ate here and I just went recently as I was down in the area. To start this off I was there with 2 family members we ordered Squid Ham Ha with On Choy, Gong lo Mien and some other vegetable dish. The waitress didn't tell us that the squid ham ha which on the board of menus price was $8.95 but because we substituted pork for Squid it was a dollar more and added on Choy as well that was $4.00 more made the complete dish $13.95 had we known about the on Choy being $4 more we wouldn't have ate that dish but she never mentioned any added price when she took our order. The rice was hard and seemed old. The lemon Chix plate lunch was crazy greasy soggy and lemon curd dipping sauce was like a pie consistency thick and sour and fried rice tasted like raid! The only great thing on the table was the Crispy Gau Gee but even that was small and kind of greasy as well. Aside from all of this I started to get a headache which means this place uses MSG IN THERE FOODS! Becareful this is BAD! I couldn't believe how this place changed from 10 months ago! Wow! What's happened to Wo Fat? Now I'm sticking to Panda Express all the way until I get back to Hawaii.
