Q: i would give andy 6 stars, if possible due to: 1. amaaaaaaazing sushi. 2. hilarious conversation. 3. fresh, fresh, fresh ingredients. 4. reasonable prices for the quality of food (which is stellar). 5. andy's daily specials & inventive use of random sushi components (like mango & mint). 6. FREE SAMPLES while you wait in line. andy is the best -- hands-down.

Q: Bought this on a groupon and boy am I hooked! This place has good food and a great variety. I would recommend you get the larger portion as its very cost effective. Samurai Sam's...I will return!

Q: I don't get the 4* for this location - the other one near the Strip is very good, and we came here expecting the same. However, I had trouble believing they were even part of the same chain based on my experience. The sushi chefs here are not Japanese (unlike the other location) and so while the quality of the fish were mediocre depending on the type, the cuts were very poor. Some were very sinewy and unchewable, others you can tell were scraps. Even the eel nigiri had lots of bones and it even hurt as I swallowed it down my throat! The fish to rice ratio here was also noticeably lower than the other location. I don't get why they charge $2 more for AYCE but yet have a lot less on the menu? A handful of nigiri and roll choices were missing, and no mochi ice cream or tempura ice cream here. 2 stars for quick service (less crowded here), and a couple of the nigiri were quite good. Otherwise, our party of 3 all agreed - don't bother coming here. There are plenty of other delicious AYCE sushi places in Vegas :)

Q: We've been here a few times - very friendly folks, and it seems that the local management is very much involved with the place. Note that although their webpage is on the Mandalay Bay website, they're actually not under that corporate umbrella, and the info on the page tends to be out of date. Stop by the front desk or call to get the real details of their happy hour/etc. I keep coming back for the Beef Pelmeni on the bar menu - little warm beef dumplings in broth served with a yogurt sauce. Their cavi-hour is a good deal - during certain hours, it's a half ounce of caviar free when you get two drinks made with Russian Standard Vodka. Sure - the drinks are not cheap - it's Las Vegas - but the Caviar actually makes this an excellent deal. They also have a small vodka vault. Apparently, they rent out storage lockers in there, but you can also buy a bottle of vodka and spend some time in the vault in fur coats doing shots off the top of the decapitated head of the statue of Lenin they have out front. They let you buy a half bottle ( still about $100 ) if there's only two of you, and you can take the part you don't finish home with you. It's kind of cold in there, but a cool experience. Our bartender came in with us and told us a little about the vault and the folks who pay thousands to store their vodka in there. Having been here a couple times now, I really like this place.
