The Carnival World Buffet @ Rio has always been a favorite. When they first opened up, it was the best of the best. No other buffet could compete. But over the last few years, their quality has dwindled as up and coming buffets opened up nearby. They have picked up their game recently to compete with the big boys. Selection was never an issue with them as it's one of the best.
This will be a picture review of my plates:

Imitation crab salad was good, cucumber salad was average, bacon was salty, sausage patty was salty, cream cheese blintz was excellent!

They had a noodle station with various noodles and broths. I opted for a bowl of pho. The pho was pretty good for buffet style. Broth lacked, but beef choices were good.

The Mongolian BBQ station. I choose shrimp as my protein. Typical fare here, I've never had Mongolian BBQ that wowed me. Not too shabby.
I was full after that and got gelato and flan for dessert. Nothing to complain about there.
I was stuffed and happy, that's all there is to it.
