Jamie RFebruary 3, 2016Amazing clam chowder and roast beef! Food was soo good and definitely save room for dessert this place actually tries to make extremely good desserts. Long wait to be seated and very pricy.Upvote2Downvote
Pomono FavouredOneJanuary 9, 2014Get the 24hr buffet pass. ... worth it because their Sunday brunch (w/mimosas) is divine!!! Breakfast is & lunch is great as well. DON'T overlook the Japanese hibachi station or the Vietnamese stationUpvote1Downvote
Mette GOctober 17, 2017Outstanding selection and mainly good quality. The best buffet of the ones that are included in the buffet pass. Especially the Asian selection is really good and leave room for the dessertsUpvoteDownvote
For everyone visiting this place come prepare to take a photograph when entering. Its a real fun experience and a good memory to take home. also this buffet is no longer 50% off locals, now is 25%UpvoteDownvote
Alex KononovJuly 3, 2014Bring an empty stomach Great food selection, great service. Mexican and Chinese food sections were excellent. Crab legs were awesome! Dessert was average, but who eats dessert after a buffet? :)UpvoteDownvote
Tyler TannerSeptember 27, 2014Word of mouth took me here & I wasn't disappointed. Non-pretentious w/ a great selection. May not look like much, decor-wise, but the quality of the food justified the price. Will come back, for sureUpvoteDownvote
Eric EinbinderMay 27, 2012This is by FAR the best buffet I've been to...especially in Vegas! Tons of variety, great taste, clean, and the best service of any buffet I've ever eaten at. Highly recommend it!!!UpvoteDownvote
John KiddeMay 9, 2017Line can get long, but it's worth it. Touch screen drink station, delectable desserts and if you're in to seafood - that's a thing here.UpvoteDownvote
Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaJanuary 5, 2016The regular buffet was awesome but the seafood one is even better. You have to pay extra to get into the seafood buffet and they are a bit strict with the food you get though.

Wesley DavenportMay 7, 2012You'll want to plan your exit strategy well in advance. There's a real possibility you won't be able to walk after your meal. But, honestly, walking is over-rated anyway.Upvote5Downvote
Markus EggerNovember 16, 2019Not the amazing place I remember from years past. But still pretty solid and relatively reasonably priced. I still wish they still had the seafood buffetUpvoteDownvote
VEGAS.comOctober 23, 2012The made-to-order teppenyaki station allows you to create your own dish and assures you that your food is going to be fresh and flavorful since it’s made right in front of you.Upvote8Downvote

Brett ElliottJuly 20, 2018The food is okay but certainly not worth the price. You know it’s a bad sign when the best thing I got was chicken wings (and I tried a LOT of different things). Cherry pie was the best dessert.

Sol SalamancaAugust 18, 2011this is the best buffet in Las Vegas, don´t miss the shrimp dumplings and the mongolian grill, there are a LOT of different international dishes, but chinese and japanese food are AMAZEBALLS!Upvote5Downvote

Scott CressyDecember 12, 2013Amazing food!! Ahh!!! Downside is Londy who is a cashier at the entrance of the buffet who has quite a bad attitude.. Really wanted to bitch slap her with some knowledge.UpvoteDownvote
One of my favourite buffets in Vegas. Large selection of yummy food and great service. Check in on Foursquare to save $5!UpvoteDownvote
Rayshawn WilliamsMay 26, 2016Listen for the random alcohol specials they announce over the speaker every hour or so. That is if the mimosas aren't enough.

"WSOP location. Fantastic buffet."
Jamie Locklin- 6.0
"Standard Starbucks products and service. But probably the best place for breakfast in the whole resort; with bacon, cheese and egg sandwich with any coffee."

"The buffet has shrimp cocktails at dinner on the salad bar. The are already cleaned and the shells have been removed. One of the only buffets that has shrimp that you don't have to peel yourself!!!!"
