Green Valley Ranch casino - Sushi + Sake

Green Valley Ranch casino - Sushi + Sake

las vegas  

Sushi + Sake at Green Valley Ranch casino. We actually wanted to try the steakhouse but it was busy so we decided to eat here instead. The food was average, I guess this is the quality of sushi you get in America. Not satisfying, but I can eat. Not a place I'd eat at again. According to the website, the chef seems to be a real Japanese guy, but I really don't think so.




complimentary cucumber salad













tempura (entree) $16.95
I believe this entree came with a cup of rice and miso soup.













Dynamite roll $8.95
Spicy scallop & masago with mayonnaise














Chirashi $22.95
They looked so pretty when it got to our table. Unfortunately, sushi quality wasn't good as restaurant. The quality was like a pack of sushi at Mitsuwa supermarket. (It doesn't mean I don't like Mitsuwa sushi. I like them. But as a restaurant, I want more quality food for this price).
I like to order chirashi because you get all these different sushi toppings in one bowl. I think it's a pretty good deal instead of ordering 2 pieces of nigiri sushi for $5.
There were about 10 different toppings (2-3 pieces each). There is sushi rice under all the toppings. It was a pretty good portion.













Beef udon $9.95
This beef udon was nothing close to Japanese beef udon. They made this udon to Chinese style. I couldn't believe it when I saw this beef udon. I was so shocked. CLICK HERE for a picture of what Japanese beef udon should look like.

Dosa Truck - Los Angeles

Dosa Truck - Los Angeles

los angeles  

So you know how these food trucks are very popular in L.A. now? This is one of them. I didn't know what a dosa is. But it says dosa is a South Indian sourdough crepe made with rice and lentil flour.

Basically it was like a spicy crepe with curry-flavored potatoes inside. It was kinda small portion, I finished eating in one minute. I really think it's too expensive for what you get. I do understand they have to pay for the truck and also this is in Los Angeles so everything is overpriced. It was tasty, but I wasn't that crazy about it, especially for the price. For $6, I'd like to have a bigger portion of food that fills up my hungry stomach.

Masala Dosa $6
smashed corned potatoes, homemade coconut & tomato chutney inside













It says coconut & tomato chutney, but I didn't taste coconut (so you can probably eat even you don't like coconut).

Recently Baja Fresh had a special, buy a drink and get a free burrito.

So we both purchased drinks and we each got a free burrito. All the food below was total $3.50.
I never had Baja Fresh before, and my husband had food here almost 10 years ago, so it was kinda new to us. We both thought the food was average. We stopped eating less than half way. No way I'm gonna pay $7 for a burrito from here.



Burrrito Mexicano (bare style) $6.99
with beans, rice, steak














Burrito Ultimo with chicken $6.69
with no cheese, no sour cream


























beans, rice, chicken, a little bit grilled vegetable

Treasure Island - Pizzeria Francesco's

Treasure Island - Pizzeria Francesco's

Treasure Island  

Since the name of the restaurant is "Pizzeria" Francesco's, we wanted try their pizza, but we saw some other table's pizza and it didn't look good at all, so we ordered something else. We couldn't decide what we wanted to eat, so we just got calamari and tiramisu, and we shared. Nothing amazing. Food was just OK, although the calamari was really salty.



Calamari $12
spicy marinara/lemon aioli
It was salty. I wish the chefs tasted food before they serve.













Tiramisu ice cream sandwich $5
Too much liqueur to me. It's basically like tiramisu-flavored ice cream cake.
