There are lots of sushi restaurants around town. In fact, for a land-locked city 300 miles from the ocean, there may be too many sushi restaurants in Las Vegas. I often wonder about the freshness and quality of the little sushi places crammed between Kinkos and Quiznos in some random shopping center. So it was with much apprehension that my wife and I ventured into Sumo Sushi 2 for dinner.
This is one of those joints where everyone yells something in Japanese when you walk in the door. This greeting is slightly jarring to me because I don’t really know what’s being said. They did this with great gusto at Gyu Kaku in West LA. It seems more a yakitori greeting than a sushi one but I digress.
The sushi? Not bad. We had several cut rolls and a sashimi plate. The fish tasted fresh and the cuts were well-sized. If you like wasabi try the “sushi bombs” — 6 pieces with extra wasabi spread on the bottom and thin slices of jalepeno on top. Woo!
Also recommended is the miso cod. This dish was prepared extremely well and like the sushi, the portion was generous.
