Wife and I ate here because we were seeing Bjork at the Pearl/staying at the Palms Hotel.  Picked it out of the various hotel restaurant selections because it seemed like the least likely place to get overfed.\n\nThe decor/environment is amusing enough- lots of buddha statues and piped in music that will please fans of \"Enigma.\"  I'd actually give that aspect four stars.\n\nUnlike many of the reviewers below, I found the service to be attentive to the point of over-attentive, which is not typically a problem int the greater so cal area- props to that server.\n\nI find it fairly astonishing that some reviewers singled out the prices as being \"too high.\"  Whatever you want to say about Little Buddha, I just can't say that \"over priced\" is one of the valid criticisms.  Prices were in line with a typical big city sushi restaurants.  The menu, which combines your standard sushi fare with a collection of chinese food, some thai and some typical european mains (steak. fish) with asian preparation)  might be a little pricey on the chinese side ($20 for mongolian beef), but hell- it's VEGAS!  You want cheap? Go to the buffet.\n\nThe pacing of our meal was way subpar- we ordered an appetizer, salads, sushi and desert and were \"done\" in under an hour.  Personally, when I'm dining on vacation i want a little more time- this wasn't a business lunch.  The pacing gets \"one star.\"\n\nAs for the sushi itself- I'm not sure how ANYONE could call this the best sushi they've ever have, unless, of course, they're from someplace where they don't have good sushi anywhere.  I would call the sushi here \"average\".  The jalapeno/yellowtail sashimi dish we had was not spicy at all, in fact it might have well just been called regular old yellowtail sashimi for all the spice the preparation added to the experience.\n\nDidn't try the chinese food or the more european mains, but the diners on either side were chowing down and I didn't overhear any complaints.\n\nApparently this restaurant is big in Paris, but frankly, I find that impossible to credit.  I think the reviewer below who compared this place to \"PF Chang's with a better cocktail menu\" is in the ballpark, but the sushi is something you can't get at PF Changs.  You can, however, get sushi like this in any mid size to large city in the contiential united states.
