Sen is bomb but I had a pretty bad dinner there the other night. Fish was no good.
It's pretty sweet value but I wouldn't say its the best sushi place I've ever been to. Maybe my favorite one though.

Re: ** Official July ''Jeans saying: ''ex millionairi (finnish)'' thread **

weird variance.

Did you guys eat at the bar too?

I won't ever eat a blue ribbon again. Went there during off-peak hours last year, ordered some sushi at the bar, and the guy just took his time plating and cutting...by the time I got my food, it was pretty lukewarm and terrible. No good sushi chef would ever do that.

btw this Wimbledon match has been pretty sweet.

friend coming in today, what are some good places for lunch/brunch? Can't do Bouchon.

Second thing worth mentioning is the rest of the food wasn't anything to write home about either, in fact I would go out of my way to say it was pretty bad and not to go there. Had a worse experience at Blue ribbon Sushi tho (entirely service related).

I feel like I've been to a million places better than Sen, entirely forgettable experience
lol wut, you just lost all credibility

Re: ** Official July ''Jeans saying: ''ex millionairi (finnish)'' thread **

Was just listening to Childish Gambino - Silk Pillows (solid track) and did a double take when I thought I'd heard "Nobu" in a line.. so I google the song's lyrics and the top link is rapgenius (FWF's site).. and it's confirmed.. cool line..

"Wonders if you don't wanna be under some gross dude
But most girls will do it just for a corner seat at Nobu"

Kind of ironic the sequence of events.. considering I mentally associate Nobu directly with poker and poker people.. so to hear it dropped in a song was an "ahah cool" moment.. then googling it results in the top link being a poker player's start-up website.. only to post the story here in this thread where the current topic is Nobu and it's competitors..

i dont' know why anyone who finds a sweet place to eat tells other poker players, makes the places completely unbearable to go to

I like Sen a lot. Been there more times then any other sushi place by far but it doesn't compare to Kabuto in Nigri quality.. Only been to Kabuto once but it blew me away with fish quality. If your a purist its a must try IMO.

I want the restaurant to survive. the place is tiny and the prices are so low I have no idea how he stays profitable. I went there like 5x in 10days and sparked up a friendship and the owner/chef begged me to tell all my friends about the place.
this isn't like some super profitable high mark up place that i could have all to myself and hope to continue to enjoy it the few times a year I come to las Vegas.
I feel like you have seriously unrealistic notions of the restaurant industry if you think a place like kabuto could survive without word of mouth advertising.
ffs this place gets zero walk in business as they are way off the beaten trail and don't even have a sign on the door, much less any traditional advertising so to "lol" at ppl tweeting or telling all their "poker player friends" (it's ok to tell your non poker friends tho right) is pretty absurd to me.

if the place gets super popular it's just going to take more effort to get a seat it's not like the quality is going to be degraded, so I'll risk having to call two days in advance rather then being able to just walk in to insure the best sushi place I've ever had the luxury of frequenting gets enough traction to stay in business for a long long time.
