| - Wazuzu is a good Asian restaurant that marries a fusion of Asian foods, including Chinese, Japanese and hints of Indian (I think they use curry powders and other spices on some dishes) and Thai.
The prices are in one breath high, in another breath both fair and on par with other high end restaurants.
Dinner for 2 which included 3 entrees to share and an appetizer came in at about $100 before tip, and was enough food to even feed 3 people lightly or maybe even a small group of anorexic club going girls on their way to Surrender or XS that want to nibble while still looking good in their form fitting outfits.
We had the Albacore Sashimi, which I highly recommend, for $22 the portions were good.
The Miso Black Cod featured 2 respectfully sized pieces of fish over a bed of Chinese broccoli for $30.
The Wazuzu Fried Rice had a hint of Indian spice maybe curry and had some dried shrimp, 4 large prawns, some chinese sausage and duck with pineapple mixed into flavorful jasmine rice. It was a bit on the greaser side, not so much light and fluffy, but very tasty. The portion size is good for $23 and enough for a few to share with other dishes.
The Vegetarian Sweet and Sour "Chicken" (probably soy or tofu based) is all about the sauce, so less about chicken or mimicking the taste or flavor more so than the texture and cost $17
The service was friendly. They, I don't think take reservations, so we only waited about 20-30 mins around 10pm on a Friday Night over Labor Day Weekend, so easily killed time walking around the casino and they called us when the table was ready.
I'd say this is a great place for larger parties of 4 or more to share in multiple dishes "family style" to enjoy all of the diverse tasty flavors they offer on their menu.
If you're Asian and more working class Asian American, you may be taken aback at paying over $20 for Chow Fun (a dish you can get at any Chinatown for about $6), but you're not in Chinatown and this is also not "Panda Express" (nor P.F. Changs or Pick Up Stix or buffet styled cuisine) either and is gourmet Asian food. Some negative naysayers may call it "White People's Asian Food" but it's to me, simple good if not great food without any prejudice other than the known price tag of the dishes clearly visible on the menu and available to see before you commit to dining, posted outside of the restaurant.
I like this place to recommend it and revisit it again.
