Crazy Orgasm Roll – with a name like that I HAD to order it.
P.s. It’s not for the faint-hearted, or those who can’t stand the heat.
Kaya Sushi came highly recommended to me by a number of people in Las Vegas. So last week, Aaron Shapiro from Aaron’s Worldwide Adventures , and I met at Kaya, to well, meet. Meet and gnosh down some delicious sushi!
Monkey Brains – little fried balls of awesome. These were in the top 2 sushi I tried.
Kaya has the most outrageous names for sushi I have ever seen. Besides the traditional rolls, they have crazy specialty rolls like The Shrek, Crazy Orgasm Roll, Monkey Brains, Who is my dad?, and Mistake Roll. I fell in love with the food just for the names alone.
Crazy Orgasm, Sex Bomb, Something Wrong 69 – with specialty rolls with these names, you know you’re about to have a great time!
And this is all you can eat! For one super reasonable price, you can order anything off the menu you wish. they also offer half rolls, which we did plenty of, so you can sample a wide array of items. Their appetizers are small portions as well, so you don’t have to worry about ordering one, then filling up on that before you get to the sushi.
Bacon-wrapped asparagus spears – good, but the bacon needed to be crispier to give more contrast between the bacon and the asparagus
Which is awesome. Because there are a few places in Vegas known for doubling up on the rice and giving you huge appetizer portions.
The Mistake Roll – a strangely-drawing named sushi roll. Turns out its pretty delicious. There is no mistake here.
Nope, Kaya knows you are there for the sushi and doesn’t pump their sushi full of filler items. Their ingredients are super fresh and combined in really creative ways.
The Shrek – This is the other favourite sushi i tried this night! I don’t know if it is the cilantro sauce or whatever gobo is that makes it so delicious, but it was hard to not just order a bunch of these rolls!
And don’t forget the deserts. They have things like Strawberry Mochi Ice cream (ice cream inside of a gelatinous thingy. Not sure what it is exactly, but Andrew tells me it is good.)
Mochi is a rice-based gelatinous thingy. Kaya stuffs various flavoured mochi balls with icecream. I’m told its delicious, but i was too busy eating my cheesecake.
I, personally, am a girl, and went for the cheesecake sampler.
CHEESECAKE! Not in the mood for ice cream or mochi? How about a mini cheesecake sampler. This dessert is just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth; not so much you feel ashamed and dirty the next morning.
CHEERS!
Kaya is located on Spring Mountain Road, just west of Las Vegas Blvd. On the corner of Spring Mountain and Arville. It is a 5 minute drive from the Strip, or take the 203 bus down Spring Mountain.
