The WAGYU PASTRAMI sandwich from La Cantine Sandwich Shop is FORKING AMAZING! ….I do note it’s easy to order the wrong sandwich here because they offer TWO different pastrami sandwiches. They offer a pastrami reuben that cost $8.00 LESS than the Wagyu Pastrami Sandwich….YOU WANT TO ORDER THE WAGYU PASTRAMI SANDWICH.
Wagyu Pastrami Sandwich
Not east cost style rye but the hand cut Wagyu Pastrami makes up for it. The pastrami is a mix of just the right delicious flavors, right smoke, and right fat. It’s embellished with kraut, dressing, and melty Swiss.
It’s a really GREAT Pastrami Sandwich.
The hand cut Wagyu Pastrami on Rye from La Cantine Sandwich Shop is The Notable Dish of The Week!
These Parmesan Pistachio Crostini are basically savory biscotti. We will call them crostini because it is easier to know how they taste when you call them crostini. This recipe makes 20-22 crostini so if one is a serving then you will get around 20 servings. But if you eat two then you will get 10 servings. I made mine pretty small so I will say 10 servings.
Ingredients for around 10 servings
4 oz parmesan cheese – shredded
6 oz bread flour
1 oz polenta
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs
1+1/2 oz greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 oz pistachios
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line sheet pan(s) with silicon mat(s)
Mix together the ingredients (cheese, flour, polenta, baking powder, salt, eggs, yogurt, oil, pistachios.
Make the dough into two logs and refrigerate at least one hour.
Each log goes on a silicon mat lined baking sheet.
They go into the pre-heated 350F oven till lightly browned – 25-45 minutes (ovens do differ) Leave them out until they are cool and then you slice.
Turn down your oven to 300F and the crostini go back in the oven till just slightly brown on each side and also until the crostini is very crisp. 15-35 minutes on BOTH sides.
Lit Wings recently opened a new location in North Las Vegas. This is a casual order and pay at the counter restaurant that specializes in chicken wings. They offer TWENTY ONE flavors of wings or boneless that THEY CALL TENDERS. They also offer several side orders like garlic noodles, fried macaroni and cheese, rice, and shrimp chips. Soft beverages, Asian beverages, beer, and more is served here.
I ordered a 1/2 wing and half tender plate that was buffalo garlic flavored and got elote fries as my side.
I thought they made me the wrong flavor because I wasn’t expecting cheese on buffalo garlic chicken…… I try a wing first…..It’s slightly over cooked and a little dry…I don’t really get a buffalo flavor here ……it mostly taste like parmesan….
I try a tender next….The tender looks more like a nugget to me……But it does have a much better buffalo taste than the wing…….It’s also cooked better than the wings…
Then I try the elote fries.
Part of this is not edible to me because it is painful for me to eat it. For my taste this is very over seasoned.
My husband tried 1/2 buffalo hot and half Nashville hot wings with fried macaroni and cheese.
They gave him much plumper wings than what they gave me. But his wings are also over cooked and on the dry side. He wasn’t wild about the flavors either. The fried macaroni and cheese taste very similar to Kraft Mac-n-Cheese so if you like that all is good.
At the time of my visit this location of Lit Wings has an impressive FIVE STAR average on Yelp out of 49 reviews.
La Cantine Sandwich Shop is located in the North/West part of Las Vegas Nevada. They offer a variety of sandwiches made on house baked breads. They also offer salads, quiches, salads, sides, and French Style macarons.
It’s a small place. I noticed most customers I saw did take out.
They offer a pastrami reuben and also a wagyu pastrami on rye….The wagyu pastrami cost $8. more than the pastrami reuben so I thought it would be better so I went with that.
The seedless rye doesn’t really taste like rye bread that I am familiar with but the pastrami is FORKING AMAZING! In fact it taste just like my pastrami…….(I wonder if they used my recipe?) There’s kraut, there’s dressing, There’s melty Swiss that I pulled out and ate first….Then I ate the sandwich. This sandwich is very messy but really delicious. The pastrami was hand cut. It’s tender. It’s smoky but not too smoky. It has some fat to it but not too much fat. But most importantly IT FORKING TASTE LIKE PASTRAMI.
My husband had a ham and cheese baguette.
He said that the ham is unusually great ham that you just don’t get anywhere. This sandwich also had brie cheese, pickles, herb butter, and garlic confit. This was a really great sandwich.
We tried macarons for a sweet ending.
First one was an Earl Grey.
Ummm it’s very good and really different.
Next is strawberry.
UMMMMMM!!!!! This one is really such a treat…..It has flavors of a really rich cake but with pops of strawberry…Kinda like a strawberry short cake with cream.
These are really great macarons!

We started out by sharing some of the fried green tomatoes.
These are really tasty and good. They even got a little zip to them and come with romulade sauce.
I tried the BBQ Chicken Salad.
I have to it’s an ultra generous portion and there is LOTS of moist chicken breast. Under is mixed soft greens, onions, tomatoes, pecans, cranberries, strawberries, and tangerines. With a thin strawberry dressing. As far as salads go this is pretty good.
My husband tried the pork belly macaroni and cheese. It’s also a generous large portion of food.
For his taste the pork belly could be more tender and the rest is ok.

They offer signature dishes like Japanese Chashu Omelets and Yoshiya House Kurobuta Sausage Fried Rice. Yoshiya Kitchen also offers salads, rice bowls, Japanese Curries, a variety of ramen dishes, desserts, and soft beverages.
We tried the fried oysters and chicken karaage appetizers.
The sauce for the oysters is very unique. We asked what it was but our server didn’t know. The oysters were fried nice but seemed like from canned.
The chicken karaage was fried nice and seemed free of oil. It came with a creamy sauce that might have been sriracha mayo with a sriracha dollop. It didn’t taste bad but seemed like it might have been over marinated because of the texture it had.
We both enjoyed our mains.
I had the smoked salmon salad (organic spring mix, edamame, onion, seaweed, tomato, rice, and yuzu sesame dressing.
This was a very nice salad. I’d get this again.
My husband enjoyed the beef udon with eggs.
I saw him slurping up very chewy noodles from this dish. He said that the beef was tender and tasty.
Based on this visit I’d say that Yoshiya Kitchen is Worth a Try!

This is a Cevicheria so we share a Ceviche called Pescador (salmon & tuna marinated in lime juice with cucumber, cilantro, tomatoes, onion, avocado, serrano, & black sauce…It also is topped with a creamy mayo based sauce)
The fish seems very fresh. The sauce is sort of refreshing. It does have mild heat to it but it’s tasty. I’ll get this again sometime…Actually I mean we will get this again…It’s large for sharing. I wish it came in a half size.
We also share a single marlin taco.
It’s a nicely prepared taco that is generously packed.
My husband got the Shrimp marinated in lime & onion with avocado and CHILTEPIN sauce. (incase you don’t know chiltepin are very expensive but also are more delicious than other hot peppers. They also are VERY HOT and should be used sparingly.
He said that it was very good but almost too spicy hot to eat.
