Sen is absolutely my favorite sushi restaurant to come to in Vegas.  Every single time I visit I try to make it out to eat here at least once!  For a lot of you visiting Vegas this will be out of the way, but if you have a car I highly recommend making the drive and trying this place out.  Sit at the sushi bar and let them surprise you!
I came out to Vegas for my bday weekend and have literally set up a full weekend of eating eating eating!  First stop Sen!!
My girlfriend Barb usually goes with us, Barb has a memorized list of all our favorite things to eat and she always takes charge with the ordering.  She couldn't make it this time, so we left it in the chef's hands and as usual everything was awesome!
What I love so much about this place is that you don't use soy sauce!  Everything is flavored so well you don't need it!!
Here is a list of some of the stuff I like to order:
Scallop w/ spicy lime, Black Snapper w/ capers and cilantro, Japanese Snapper 2 ways (lemon and salt and red wine sauce), Shima Aji, Yellowtail belly, Kanpachi, Flying Fish, Isaki, Sea Bream, Tuna w/ Tako wasabi sauce, Spicy Salmon, Baby Japanese Snapper w/ wasabi olive oil, Fluke w/ daikon radish w/ Japanese hot oil and green onion.  Some non sushi items that are great to order is Kanpachi / Hamachi collar, Filet Tataki plate, Albacore spring roll and always love Shishito peppers.
