| - The line up to dine at this buffet is absolutely ridiculous. But for those in line, I guess it is worth the wait as they didn't seem to mind having to wait over an hour to eat. Luckily as a Yelp Elite member, we got to by pass the line and was escorted to our tables without any hassles. I like the ambiance of this place. The tables were spaced apart decently without the feel of being crowded. There were plenty of people there, but it didn't seemed that way because of its spacious interior. The only time you notice the crowds, were when you are waiting in line for the seafood (crab legs). The waiters were quite efficient and our dishes were cleared away each and every time we got back to our table with yet another full plate of food. There were so many items to choose from, but the following were what I remembered having:
Ginseng chicken soup served in individual clay pots. This authentic Chinese soup is well worth the wait in line. So flavourful and the chef did not skimp on the ginseng. There actually was a ginseng root in each of its clay pots.
Buffalo chicken wings. Served in metal basket, so juicy and full of flavour. A must try if you love buffalo wings.
Jumbo size cocktail shrimps. These shrimps were so huge. I only took a couple of them, because I wanted to save room to try all the other wonderful treats.
Alaskan king crabs. To me, it wasn't worth the wait. Maybe I should have asked to have it heated up as others were doing.
Stone crab claws. Don't know what the fuss is all about. Didn't really enjoy the crab.
The seafood section had the longest line up of them all. By the time I got through the line in this section and got back to my table, all the seafood items I picked up were cold. Cold seafood soup is not so good, neither were the cold crab coquettes.
Roasted Duck. Very tasty and moist. Authentically prepared.
Lamp chops. Seared to perfection on the outside and still rare inside. A wonderful treat for those who like lamb.
Prime rib. A little disappointing. The slice I had was not that moist. It didn't melt in the mouth like prime rib should.
Sliders. I think this would be very good, if it was hot. But sitting out for any length of time, made the beef a little dry. You get quite a thick burger on the slider.
Sushi. They had all the usual fare and I would say it's a step up from other buffets, but definitely not as fresh as in a real Japanese sushi joint.
Har gow and shumai. These Chinese dim sum items were both very good and authentic. Quite big and flavourful. Who needs to go to dim sum when you can get high quality dim sum at the buffet. They also serve congee. Just too much food to try everything.
Fried calamari. Served in a metal basket, the batter that was used to fry the calamari was quite good, light and tasty.
Dessert. The selection of desserts were okay. There was nothing that was extraordinarily good. Had the tiramisu- was okay. The chocolate crème brulee was quite good. Gelatos - tried blood orange - too sour for me, coffee - the flavour was good, and baklava - this was quite unique and tasty. I don't remember the names of all the other desserts I tried. Maybe I was just too full to truly enjoy the desserts.
Conclusion - a truly fulfilling meal, with some high end items that just sets this place a step above all other buffets on the strip. I would definitely go back. There are some exceptionally good food items especially in the Chinese section. There were so many other items that definitely warrants another trip to this buffet. I am not too fond of having to wait in line, so I recommend going early or when they are about to close to avoid the very long lines.
