Answer: We love this place! The food is consistently hot and delicious! I like the huevos Rancheros (and the chorizo version), chicken fried steak is great, omlettes and sandwiches are always on point. Portion sizes are very generous and it is a great value for the money! Service is prompt and attentitive- my coffee cup or water is never empty. We keep coming back. :)

Answer: Nasty, terrible and disgusting come to mind as I walked in this place with a seat yourself sign. Even worse they told me with kids I could not sit in the main dining area and I must sit in a narrow hall way that was truly awful. It was also smokey and loud in here. We immediately left and went to the Steak House at Circus Circus that provides incredible service, food and atmosphere. If you want a quality place to dine and have kids avoid Big Dog's Cafe, I guess the name should have been a clue.

Answer:
Saturday night (6/29/14), right before dinner rush. After reading the reviews, I was excited to try Yusho. The restaurant is right at the front of the Monte Carlo and they seated us adjacent to the main window, overlooking the strip. The server was friendly and told us about the tapas menu yet failed to warn us of just how small the portions were. The problem is that at other places, tapas are usually priced accordingly. At Yusho however, the prices are way out of proportion to the size and, unfortunately, the taste of the food. The drink menu looked interesting so I tried the Last Word ($13), which is a mixture of gin, green chartreuse, maraschino, lime and egg whites. The flavor was ok but there was more egg white foam than liquid in the glass and I didn't taste any gin at all. We also tried a Negroni which did have a strong taste of Campari ($13). However, similar to what they did with the previous cocktail, there was so much ice jammed into the glass that there were only a few sips of liquor. We started with the house pickles ($9) and assorted kimchi ($7). The taste of the kimchi was interesting but there wasn't much there to eat. We had one order of the Tiger shrimp which came in a small bowel containing a few shrimp and cucumber pieces with a tangy vinegar coating ($9). We ordered one of the specials which was an ear of corn, broken into two pieces and smothered in a spicy miso sauce ($7). The taste of the sauce was great but the corn was a bit waterlogged and mushy. Next came the duck breast which consistent of one skewer holding four small pieces of bland duck meat wrapped around mushrooms ($12). We ordered two cod buns ($16 for two) and two pork buns ($16 for two). The meat in both tasted all right however the mix of ingredients that they threw in with it seemed like a desperate attempt to create something different by throwing in anything on hand rather then creating a unified concept of flavors that meshed together. The portions are so small however and you are so hungry throughout the experience that you will eat anything they bring to the table. Last to come was the crab fried rice ($24) and the chicken drummies with red miso sauce ($9). The fried rice tasted ok but there was only enough to fill the small miso soup bowl that it came in. The chicken dish was the most substantial of the night with several flat medallions of chicken meat with a red dipping sauce. We skipped dessert. All in all, some of the dishes tasted ok but nothing had a wow factor. Certainly nothing to demand the exorbitant prices for what you actually received. I can't see this place staying at the Monte Carlo for very long if nothing changes. I would recommend skipping Yusho and heading right next door to the Dragon Noodle Co. or Andre's for a real meal.
