Not All Sushi Is Created Equal! Try Sushi Roku & Taste The Difference

Sushi Roku Aji Crudo
Not all Sushi is created equal! Here in Las Vegas there are many dining options and when it comes to Sushi restaurants there are currently over 300 listings on Yelp. Rest assured though that you do not need to go traipsing all over the valley to find delicacies such as Aji Crudo (Jack Mackarel, Ginger relish, Aji Amarillo Sauce) Tuna Sashimi Carpacio (Katana Style) or Yellowtail with Diced Chilies (with olive oil and Garlic Ponzu) all you need to do is drive down Las Vegas Blvd. turn into Caesar’s Palace and make your way to Sushi Roku.

Yellowtail With  Diced Chilies 
Sushi Roku
This restaurant offers spectacular views of the LV Strip and has a private dining room and comfy leather banquettes. If you prefer a table there are plenty of hardtops available.  Plus they now have a Gluten Free menu. Sushi Roku also has a full service bar serving everything from Sake to Champagne.

Now back to the food and why you should visit! First and foremost Sushi Roku believes in maintaining the balance of our oceans endangered fish. They pay more but all of the fish on the menu is obtained from eco-friendly sustainable sources.  This makes me very happy and I willingly support a restaurant that has their eye on the future and makes responsible choices.  PLUS you are going to be “in the know” on some of the secret dishes that you can order.

Scottish Salmon Caesar Salad 
Blue Crab Tartare


The first item that you must order is the Blue Crab Tartare! So amazingly good. It comes served in bowl and you squeeze lemon and mix together the tartare along with the Uni and Caviar and taste this fabulousness! A “MUST” and priced at $39 this dish will be enough for 3-4 to share.  Everyone, well almost everyone enjoys a Caesar salad.  Chef Haru and GM Johnny Seo have put together some new amazing items and the Scottish Salmon “Caesar” is a standout dish. Fresh crisp romaine lettuce with shaved parmesan croutons and with Soy Wasabi dressing this salad hits the sweet spot.  The robust and succulent taste of the salmon blends lovely with the Soy Wasbi dressing; making this a wonderful edition to the menu. Want something to munch on? The Truffle/Spicy Edamame is divine. Lightly flavored with truffle oil and dusted with Okinawa sea salt you will want more and more.  If you enjoy Tempura the Popcorn Shrimp Tempura is bursting with that fresh from the ocean shrimp flavor, along with the spicy creamy sauce another wonderful addition to any meal. Priced at $18 you can also share with one or two people.  



Spicy Pork Belly "Kakuni" Fried Rice
What would a meal with Sushi be without fried rice? Sushi Roku takes the concept a step further and has the Spicy Pork Belly “Kakuni” Fried Rice on the menu along with a fried egg, Kakuni means "square simmered" and this is a succulent melt in your mouth piece of pork.  

Baked Crab Handroll
The Baked Crab Handroll has sweet pulled crabmeat the Katana Roll has Spicy Tuna and Shrimp Tempura topped with Tune and Yellowtail. If you order one of these or both you will be equally delighted with the taste and texture.

Those are some of my favorite dishes on the menu but these items are outstanding also! 

Lobster Tempura
King Crab Lettuce Wrap
Now for your secret insider dishes!   Ask for the "Hanabi" a crispy rice dish with the various toppings, or the Truffle Edamame, and lastly the Tuna Sashimi Carpaccio and your waiter will know that you are a Sushi Roku insider!

Deserts
What would a full dinner be without desert? On the menu are fresh decadent donut holes, a fresh fruit tart and cake. For a wonderful dining experience be sure and stop by Sushi Roku, you will enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
