I was quite disappointed when I visited this place during my Christmas visit to Las Vegas last year.  While I love Japanese food, the quality of Makino has really faltered since my last dining experience.\n\nFirstly, the sashimi was improperly sliced.  Sashimi-grade ahi, pre-frozen or not, should NOT be cut into cubes.  Sashimi needs to be sliced a certain way to properly enjoy the raw fish.  Trust me here, properly sliced ahi feels texturally better in the mouth and even tastes better.\n\nThe entrees weren't all that great either.  Much of it was not new at all, some of it had been sitting there for a while.  Oh, and the chocolate fountain was on and all, but there was nothing to cover in chocolate.  Maybe you were supposed to put your mouth under it and drink?  lol.
