While we're on the subject of Thanksgiving, what's the name of that sandwich shop west on Flamingo that has the turkey, cranberry & dressing sandwiches?

Capriotti's.

Yeap... they have that year round.

And so does Earl Of Sandwich!

Went to Fries ‘n Pies yesterday, place is legit. Their fresh cut fries are great, I had the traditional poutine, the baked buffalo wings, and a slice of the chicken Parmesan pizza. Pretty solid craft beer list too. Free slice if you check in on yelp.

Yep! Except that Earl of Sandwich is kind of ****ty and doesn't deserve any exclamation points!

How does Le Thai stack up among other local Thai restaurants? I’ve been a couple times and really loved it but if it’s far down the list I’d like to check out others as well.

Tried Sawadee last night, next door to Shang Artisan Noodle on W Flamingo.
Pretty damn good so far, will return

I hate to say anything because it was probably a fluke, but I ordered from Le Thai once and my food had so much hair in it I thought maybe it was prepared by a gorilla. Needless to say I have no desire to go back.

not even to soda bomb the dining room?

extra long weekend coming up. we are looking at trying out some new venues; (thumps up or down please)

A friend went there (lunch special) and said everything was "too sweet".

Love shang.

Thumbs up basically across the board. Do a dinner at Raku for sure. Make reservations.

Have not been to Yui, Paid in Full, Eatt, or Craft Kitchen, but I'm certain you can't go wrong with a dinner at Yui.

None of the others are worth planning around unless you come from a place with no good food. They are solid local joints, but nothing worth a trip unless you're super price sensitive.
F&F I think i wrote up here. Love their Hainanese chicken and rice when they were just a lunch counter, but did dinner at their Ogden location and it was I guess fine. Haven't been back.
Honey Salt is good, but we had bad service and haven't been back. YMMV bc I've told that story to a dozen people who've all been astounded.
Settebello is really good pizza but far away from the strip
District One is a great bar w great food. Go there for drinks after you have dinner at Hachi.
Black sheep also really good on our one trip there - i think there were some ymmv reviews ITT recently though. [we haven't been back but that's due to managing childcare for an infant and a toddler. Hope to return soon.]

thanks for this. helps focus our group to the four or five dinner spots we'll have time for.

i live in a tourist town noted for exceptionally bland and over-priced food. comparatively, vegas is foodie nirvana.

Yeah pretty good list, however (and I'm feeling self conscious as the person you're referring to about black sheep!) I was at Yui a few weeks ago with a few friends. We took the most expensive tasting menu, the Kansha menu.

We all thought it was nothing special at all, and that the menu was overpriced for what it was. We thought that particular menu was at least $50 more then it should have been. Slightly tacky things too, like bringing out the A5 waygu certificate, that looked like an old copy, and wrapping the o-toro in decorative shiny plastic wrap on the plate.

Overall the meal was distinctly unmemorable, the only memorable thing about it for me at least was loosing the flip for dinner and spending $1500 on a meal I didn't particularly enjoy.

Kabuto absolutely wipes the floor with this place.

Haha no I think it's great to hear this (and Black sheep). For that much money you should leave satisfied. Also, thoughts and prayers, I got stuck w the bill last Kabuto trip so I understand.

For adventurous eaters, Raku is fantastic. I've taken people that were terrified of the menu though. I absolutely loved flock and fowl, shrug. I think honey salt is super over-rated, it might be like my 4th choice just in the strip mall its located in. Settebello is my go to "im in vegas and im grumpy" place, so good.

100% agree on raku. e.g., I took a business crowd and two of them still rave about it. We had enough sake that everyone was on board with even the kobe beef liver sashimi. You should be too. We ate for days, had a couple bottles of sake and a couple pitchers of beer, and we were out the door for 100/ea

Won't debate on F&F -- we had a picky crowd and the service was bad, so experience sucked for me. To be fair we should go back, esp since i loved their lunches on sahara like ~12/12 times i went, brought tons of out of town guests, etc.

Would love to know your 1-3 in that shopping center. North Italia obv, ...PF Changs?

Yes and flower child

We are big fans of Yui. We are not challenging your experience of the tasting menu (which we have not tried). But we love and highly recommend Gen Mizoguchi's outstanding Nigiri course.

We hear, that when ordering nigiri, Kabuto is now serving the whole plate in one fell swoop.

Not, as the Edomae tradition requires, freshly made by the sushi master, one piece at a time, emerging as reflections of the eater's reaction and curated for balanced fulfillment.

Unless you are the kind which scarfs down 10 pieces of Nigiri in two or three minutes, imagine what happens to the temperature, freshness, and dressing/composition of fish and rice during the meal.

If none of this matter to you, you are likely wasting your money both places anyway.

Sushi Hiroyoshi is the spot for nigiri, you can eat like a king for less than $100, probably less than $50 depending on how much you eat.

Thanks, but my sushi/sashimi eating pedigree both in Vegas, London, and Tokyo is up there with the best of them.

I hadn't heard that about kabuto, and in fact we ended up in Yui because we couldnt get into Kabuto so I'd be interested in hearing confirmation of this.

I dont think anything at Yui was particularly bad, I just dont think anything was particularly wonderful or showed any particular flair, and for the quality we got, it really wasn't worth it. I have no idea how to get photos up here, otherwise I'd put some up of our meal.

Anyway, being a big fan of the place, try the same menu we did, I'd be interested in seeing your thoughts on it.

Lol, are you sure this is supposed to be "casual dining"?

I was actually thinking that myself!


As an aside, I actually really liked Flower Child also, not sure my option is that healthy there though!

I also ate in Italia north, which I thought was ok, lighter then most italian crap in vegas, which was refreshing (I actually quite like Roma Deli). Interestingly, on the way out I saw two guys with Hells Angels jackets sitting at the bar. Never saw any of that in vegas before.

Honey salt was good when I was there, service was good too.

Flock and fowl seemed better at the old location, they're trying to do a bit too much with the new one. Wouldn't personally bother taking a cab just for it, but if you're there, its fine.

I also went to Nuro Bistro and had chicken rice there. It was ok, fairly decent chicken, and ok rice, but lousy sauces, which is make or break with hainanese chicken rice (I once 4 days in singapore doing a 'chicken rice tour' so I'm a little fussy about it!)

Whenever I see the word 'curated', I think something is being put on display and I won't be permitted to touch it.
