Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse & Revolving Sushi – Las Vegas NV – A-OK Sushi – Low Prices – Worth a Try!
Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse & Revolving Sushi is a unique experience. They have four locations here in Vegas. Here is what part of the the North/West Centennial location looks like.
What’s not pictured is to the left is more traditional tables and in the corner is a bar area.
During the day the revolving sushi is what to get.
Only $3.25 a plate.
You can also order plates off a computer screen at your table.
What to get?
After the plates go around for a while we finally decide to pick up plates and try them.
Salmon, trout, garlic salmon roll and an order of fresh wasabi
Salmon belly
Forget what this was
Spicy tuna roll
smoked salmon
Mackerel
Or was this yellowtail?
Then we order the chicken karaage.
It comes flying up to our table.
The Chicken Karaage is kinda good here.
It was kinda fun and different. Not the best sushi but maybe the least expensive sushi that I would eat.
Worth a Try!

Blue Olive Mediterranean & Pizza – Las Vegas NV – Very Good and Worth a Try!
Blue Olive Mediterranean & Pizza recently opened in the North/West part of Las Vegas. This isn’t a fancy place. It’s also very casual. You order and pay at the counter and seat yourself.
We tried a variety of things from the menu.
I’m pleased to say that everything was at least good!
We started by sharing an appetizer order of falafels.
They taste very different than what I’m used to.
Less herby and not green inside.
More moist.
I was told that these are more Lebanese Style. They have tahini sauce poured on them and they sit over hummus that is embellished with tomatoes, onions, cabbage, and lettuce.
I got a roasted chicken leg hummus bowl.
They generously gave me TWO delicious juicy nicely seasoned chicken legs that sit over hummus garnished with cabbage, jalapeños, olives, tomatoes and a side of fluffy pita breads.
Now this is Excellent and an amazing value at $16.99 because I got TWO meals out of this.
My husband tried the Greek Hero Pizza.
It’s a nicely made pizza with gyro meat, Feta and other cheese, tomatoes, onions, and sauce.
Mostly Very Good and Worth a Try!

Shuck’s Tavern – One of the BETTER of the 24/7 gaming bar restaurants – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!
Shuck’s Tavern is a 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant type of place with two locations in Vegas. The North/West North Durango Road location isn’t a fancy place and has a similar atmosphere to many of the other 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant type places.
The difference between this place and the similar others is the food they serve here. They have a long menu of many choices and lots of fresh seafood that they do indeed prepare nicely. j
Just like the atmosphere the food isn’t fancy but it’s fresh, prepared nicely, with large portions, and low pricing.
Oh and margaritas are good too!
Chopped Salmon Salad
The Fishermans Platter – Fried Haddock, Fried Shrimp, French Fries, Cole Slaw
Grilled Salmon with wild rice and vegetables
They didn’t even ask how I wanted the salmon cooked – They cook it a perfect medium.
Shuck’s Tavern – One of the better of the 24/7 bar gaming and restaurant type places and is certainly Worth a Try!

The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Bus of the Week
The most exciting meal out was the Tour of Italy Demonstration by Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani at his restaurant ai Pazzi. His tour of Italy was a bunch of funny stories and some eggplant parmesan, mushroom risotto, and miso cod. It was a bit unusual but so is Fabio so it all worked out fine.
Tried M Thai – It wasn’t bad or anything like that. It was reasonably good but not my style.
For my taste not enough infused basil tastes. Spicy basil wasn’t hand chopped and green curry wasn’t green. Some people like Thai Food this way but this is just not my style. Not bad just not my style.
WOW! I can’t believe what I experienced at an Emeril Lagasse group restaurant called Meril (after his daughter) We’ve been to FOUR other Emeril Lagasse Restaurants and they’ve all been good. His gumbo and banana cream pie were amazing at all his restaurants that we’ve been expect at Meril they differed.
Each dish was slightly off. Even the gumbo and banana cream pie.

KJ Dim Sum & Seafood at The Rio Casino/Hotel Las Vegas NV – It’s a FORK NO
KJ Dim Sum & Seafood is located in the Rio Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada. They are a Dim Sum and Cantonese Seafood Restaurant.
I was going to order off the menu. But this is a dim sum restaurant and after a few carts I thought I’d just be happy with dim sum.
Someone offers us something called chicken rice. That sounds good. So we gave it a try.
I don’t know why but I can’t stomach this dish. I can’t even tell you what it tastes like.
Then we get a bunch of other plates from another cart.
For me the best of the bunch was the Asian Broccoli. It was fresh and hot and steamed. To the right is the chicken rice (that’s gross), Below it is crunchy dry vegetable chow mein, to the left are shrimp balls (my husband said that they tastes good but are cold. Bottom dish is vegetable spring rolls that are cold and paste-tee inside.
By now we are very thirsty but nobody offered us a beverage.
My husband get up to try to help ourselves. At this point someone drops by and brings a pot of hot tea.
It’s unfiltered and tea leaves are mixed into the tea.
My husband asks for water. Someone does come by and drop off two glasses of water.
The water they gave to my husband has BLACK THINGS FLOATING in it.
He got up and showed someone the water and asked for another glass of water. He was eventually served a new water.
Some of the people pushing carts ignored us like I think the person pushing a soup cart.
There also isn’t much to eat here if you don’t eat shrimp or pork.
I did try the sesame balls because I usually like them.
Usually they come filled with sweet bean paste but I did try them with fruit filling once.
These are different.
The dough is wet inside. I have no idea on what the sweetened filling was.
For me this was a FORK NO.
Your visit may indeed differ.

Newly Opened – The Cantina by El Dorado – North Las Vegas NV
The Cantina is a 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant type of place with three locations in Vegas. Recently the North Las Vegas location opened at 1125 E Craig Road (in the spot where Born and Raised was). They offer a mostly Mexican Type Menu but also offer Smash Burgers.
Here’s the Bar Area.
Here’s the main dining area. It’s filled with large curved booths and a few traditional tables and a BIG Screen TV.
We ordered a basket of chips with salsa to start with.
The chips seem like they came out of a bag but both salsas are good and tastes freshly prepared.
For our main we shared a steak and chicken fajita.
I am pleased to say that the fajita is VERY GOOD! The chicken and steak are infused with delicious flavors. (We also got tortillas not pictured)
I did come back again for a third visit and on a second try the fajita was different and not as infused with flavors and also not as tender. They also were out of chicken that dyad I thought that was odd for it being a Friday. The rice also had a slightly different taste. (not all but most restaurants are not consistent.)
Happy Hour Margaritas were very good and you get the chips and salsas are complimentary at Happy Hour.
On our second visit to this location I tried one of each fish taco. They were maui maui grilled and maui maui fried and crispy.
The menu didn’t mention that these were street sized double shelled tacos. They are good , well packed and tasty but oddly pricy compared to other similar restaurants (this plate was $24).
But my husband did much better and enjoyed his smash burger with one added patty.
SEE he did much better than me.

Joey’s Tavern – 24/7 Bar, Restaurant, Gaming – Las Vegas NV- Pretty GOOD! Worth a Try!
Joey’s Tavern is a 24/7 Bar, Restaurant, & Gaming type of sports bar in the North/West part of Las Vegas. This place differs slightly from a lot of other similar places. This place others around half a dozen monthly special and a pizza of the month in addition to a mostly American Breakfast lunch and dinner menu.
But it is dark inside.
And the BIG HEAVY Chairs at the tables are very uncomfortable. …..But the food was very good.
I tried a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries.
This might be the juiciest most flavorful chicken sandwich I had in Vegas so far. It is spicy but not so spicy I can’t eat it. It’s delicious but with one major problem. There are small pieces of bone in with the chicken breast that I was lucky to spit out. A minor issue is that this sandwich contains lettuce, tomato, and onion and is missing the pickle that normally is on a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Well we are in Vegas and not Nashville so you don’t get pickles here. It’s still a very good sandwich if you don’t choke on a bone. The sweet potato fries are fried nicely and are crisp and not oily.
My husband enjoyed the BBQ Brisket Sandwich with Soup of the day (potato/broccoli).
He said it was delicious and is happy to come here again.
Maybe it’s brighter if you sit in a different area? and maybe more comfortable?
The food was very good so Joey’s Tavern is Worth a Try!

The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week
One of the best meals out this week came from a lunch buffet. It came from Lazeez Pakistani Indian Mediterranean Grill. It was a nice surprise. All the food was fresh, good, and delicious.
Got lucky and also made another very good find. If fast food can be good this is it. Sizzle Stick Burger. Ground in-house FreshGround Brisket double smash burgers and beef tallow fries.
Very Good!
One sad bad one. Maybe we just hit them on an extra bad night? We’ve been there a few times before and it wasn’t awful but this time it was……Sicilian Guys Trattoria.
This time all the pasta was over cooked, mushy, and falling apart. The arancini was awful. (very dried out and not cheesy) The chicken marsala was awful. Tasted like mushroom water not marsala sauce. It was a crime. I should have called the police.
This is one of the pastas from The Sicilian Guys Trattoria.
They used to be better.
