Fake super expensive Japanese food, lacking in freshness, with staff lacking in etiquette! (in all senses of the word). \n\nInitially, I was totally hesitant to go here as I did not believe that it was a real Japanese restaurant. I just can't see the Wynn hosting anything that is not glamorous trash. But my friends were insistent as we had to go to Blush for an evening of super loud music and flirting with prostitute waitresses post din din. \n\nAs we walk in, I immediately notice that the sushi bar keeps a huge distance between the chef and patron. How can I eat Omakase (chef's choice) in this way? No Japanese greeting either. No bowing. I am tempted to get my gold encrusted kendo practice sword from my Ferrari parked outside. Actually, no Japanese anywhere in sight. Of course, there are Asian waiters which is a nice pretend visual to confuse the Gai Jin. \n\nMy spider sense tells me to leave again but alas, my friends won't hear of it. 450 dollars later, for 4 of us, and that's without really being full, we are all annoyed. Me being the most as I am in the \""I told you so\"" phase of the meal. You should trust that I am a lot of fun, especially when we reach this part of the evening.\n\nService - Well, they took about 20 minutes to serve us or even offer a drink, then placed our sake bottle half way across the room but never bothered to come to pour it unless we flagged them down. At one point, I am sure that the table next to us was drinking it instead. In addition, they brought food that we didn't order, failed to bring food that we did and while the waitress was sort of helpful, none of the etiquette or dignity of even a low class Japanese spot was to be found anywhere. Then halfway through the meal, we were treated to a waitress switch. Try and find that in Japan where the relationship between server and patron can reach levels of the profound.\n\nFood -\n1. UNI - Fish smell and fish taste, and not the good kind. This is a huge no no. I was actually concerned about being sick after taking a bite. Almost made me wish I was at the super-overpriced Sushi Gen where at least the Uni is fresh.\n2. TUNA - Rubber\n3. SALMON - So So\n4. IKURA - fishy\n5. ROLLS - Bland, lacking in flavor\n\nThe rest was honestly not worth mentioning. Everything was rubbery, not very fresh at all or at least 2nd or 3rd grade quality. The yakitori stuff was ok, especially the meatball. Only thing that tasted decent was the Foie Gras that my friend ordered. But that wasn't even Japanese.\n\nI sort of feel like so many people get ripped off here that they all want to say how bloody good it is to justify it to themselves or their friends. Or more likely, to show off. And when compared to PF Chang or some fake Korean sushi place, maybe it is good...um...no...it isn't. It isn't. It isn't even good enough to be an alternative to grabbing one of the fish out of the aquarium and taking a bite out of its head.\n\nAgain, a nice fake Japanese spot with a solid sounding Japanese name, and a whole slew of celebrity, social climbing momos to sit and rave on how good their disgusting seared uni cracker jack roll is! Wow. Bad bad bad. I guess when I saw the owner of American Apparel at a table nearby chomping away with one of his heroine sheek models, I should have got up and ordered a pizza to the slot machine outside.\n\nOr for a couple 100 bucks more, I could have flown to Japan and had a fantastic meal at the airport, and a quick fling with a stewardess in one of those spacious and technologically advanced Japanese bathrooms. Yah, they still call them stewardess in Japan. Fly ANA, and fly on ANA! Arigato gozaimasu!
