| - This was a really disappointing experience. We specifically came to Planet Hollywood for my son; he loved the one at the Mall of America and has missed it since it closed. Where THAT PH was a wonderful, immersive experience with thousands of amazing Hollywood memorabilia and movie props on display, this one was a sad, faint copy. I'll estimate less than 1/100th of the props are here, compared to the old one at MOA. And oddly, there is a PH Hotel and Casino but this restaurant is in Caesar's at the end of the Forum Shops.
We arrived during Happy Hour and just wanted appetizers, so we sat at the bar. The barstools are really uncomfortable but the overworked bartender was really nice. The small restaurant was busy with a 20-30 minute wait, so a lot of people decided to sit in the bar, creating a logjam for the poor bartender. She kept up as well as she could, but a ten-minute wait for drinks and twenty minutes for food was pretty standard that day.
We shared the Pot Stickers, which were meaty and crisp; the Buffalo Wings which are described as spicy and are not; and the Chicken Crunch, chicken strips that were fried to death leaving the meat dry and the coating hard. Overall an uneven food experience for $90 at happy hour prices.
