Week 86 Sushi Koma

Wow, life has been busy and that is an understatement. Luckily, it has all been in a good way so I can't complain. We know we are a little behind on the blog so expect a new post every couple of days for the next few days. Remember you can always find our blog on the LV Informer http://lasvegas.informermg.com/. We are under the Local Interest section. We also have a Facebook page which we update frequently, so be sure to check that out if you haven't already http://www.facebook.com/thenewlywedsguidetovegasrestaurants .

What Teray Says...

Whenever Brett and I don't know where to go we always choose sushi for some reason. We both love Sushi and I feel like we have been to so many all you can eat places across the city, but we found this new gem not too far from our house. Sushi Koma is located at Flamingo and Durango. It is a small place and you probably wouldn't notice it driving by, but it worth the second look which you will come to find as I write my review. 

We were seated and greeted right away when we arrived at Sushi Koma. There aren't many tables there but there were enough for people coming in without a reservation and there were still couples and families at tables and the sushi bar. 

First of all, every single person that works at Sushi Koma is beyond friendly. It was not just the greeting type of friendly; they were very personalable and had great suggestions. The service was top notch. (I had to mention this first because it was so great, you know I normally don't mention it until the end). 

We started off with the seared tuna carpaccio and the seafood toastado based on the recommendations of our waitresses. They were both so out of the box for a sushi place and delicious with a capital D. Some other rolls that we ordered were the SSS roll, the Bank roll, the Rainforest roll, miso soups, the Jane roll, nigiri octopus, red snapper, and yellowtail. Brett also ordered a suprise roll which was really great. 

All of the sushi was fresh, the sauces were amazing, and the portion sizes were perfect. I became very full after not much sushi, but it was totally worth it. Sushi Koma had some of the best sushi I have ever had here in Vegas. 








Overall, I loved Sushi Koma and will be returning. They are open until 3 am too for all of you night owls. Personally, I know I am in bed by that time and so is everyone else that we know, but if you are a night owl, this place is for you. I definitely give Sushi Koma a 5 out of 5 and will be returning for sure. 

What Brett Says...

This week went with a Dragun family standard, sushi.  I personally wish I could live on sushi, if we wanted we could probably do this blog entirely with sushi restaurants.  Unfortunately we didn't think of that in the beginning, we decided to try different places and different types of food.  Teray made the decision and she chose "Sushi Coma" which is at Flamingo and Durango.

As you pull into the parking lot you slowly begin to realize that you are about to go to another strip mall sushi place.  They are pretty standard; very bland, handful of tables, a small sushi bar, and horrible staff.  When you walk in the door things change a bit, while it is small and only has seven tables that's where the standard ends.  It had a very comfortable and almost cool feel to it, there isn't much to be done with that small of a space.  The big thing they do that other small sushi places don't do is have personality.  Instead of older staff members that you can barely understand that act like they don't want you there they employ young females that speak awesome English and at least act like they enjoy their jobs.  They had so much personality and it just made it more fun.  They are open late and I could see myself having a good time late night getting some rolls and drinks, the staff would just make it an even better time.  They all helped us and made sure that we were taken care of.  We never felt neglected, service was a highlight here.

Talking about the food at sushi places can be a little difficult, even more so when we do all you can eat.  It is more or less a collective review of the food.  We had appetizers, rolls, nigiri, and dessert.  Everything we ate was amazing, it is safe to say that even with us experimenting nothing was disappointing.  The fish was fresh, the selection was amazing.  There were rolls that we had never heard of, we tried some of them and they turned out great.  

Overall I would suggest you check "Sushi Koma" out, it is an experience.  I think I would like to try it out on a Friday/Saturday night around 1am.  I would recommend keeping your group to less then 4 people.  Service was amazing, food was amazing.

Patty's Closet Outfit of the Week
Thanks to Patty and Juan of Patty's Closet for providing me with my outfit of the week this week. Check out my outfit of the week provided by Patty's Closet Fashion Boutique. I love a cute dress, especially one that you can wear in the spring and summer seasons. Stripes are so classic and the color combination gives it a nautical flair. The sweetheart neckline also gives this dress the edge it needs to be taken to night time if you wanted to really dress it up. I just paired it with some flats from Heart&Sole by PC for a casual dinner. You can find this look at the Rainbow Patty's!



If you haven't already be sure to check out the Patty's Closet Facebook page which is linked above. They update it frequently with the newest items from their Tuesday and Friday shipments at all of the Patty's locations.

Until next time, cheers to spring! xo
