| - I have just found the best Asian fusion brunch in Vegas! We wanted a nice brunch but didn't want to go far, Mandarin Oriental is walking distance from Aria, so MOzen it is!
We got seated at a window seat with beautiful views of partial Aria hotel and Crystals. We chose Perrier Jouet brut flowing champagne for $35 per person over mimosa for $20 per person, figured a couple glasses of that would worth a bottle already, so why not.
Brunch is buffet style with a choice of entree, there are quite a few good entree items on the menu.
The buffet:
Appetizers: sushi, salads, cold soup, ceviche, fresh Fanny bay and Kumamoto oysters, king crab claws, fresh shrimps, smoked salmon, assorted cheese and grilled vegetables.
Live station: dim sum, strip loin, noodle soup and roasted vegetables.
Dessert station: fruits, mini cakes, cup cakes, mousses, creme brûlée, macaroons and many more. We didn't try most of them, both hubby and I are not big fan of sweets. But it was really dessert heaven for dessert lovers!
Also many kinds of sauces such as cocktail sauce, Chinese red vinegar and XO sauce, even chimichurri sauce!
I ordered Makhani as entree, asked for tofu instead of chicken, garlic naan was so yummy, the curry was bomb! I never like curry, especially Indian curry, but that was so good, very light with amazing flavors! Hubby had scallops with pork dumplings in tomato broth. He loved the tender and flavorful scallops as well.
The noodle station was exceptionally good! The fish broth was light with amazing flavors, many freshest ingredients to choose, I just added rice noodles and veggies, regardless how simple that noodle soup was, it was definitely the best noodle soup I have ever had! Hubby liked the chicken broth a lot too. The strip loin was so juicy and tender, perfect rare plus just the way hubby liked it,
The brunch food was FANTASTIC with too many good things, hard to believe it's buffet food! The service was top notch, our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly, kept our champagne glasses full the entire time. This was no doubt the best brunch I have ever had in a very long time! It doesn't get any better than this, so relaxing and pleasant! I think for $64 per person, if you don't want champagne, that's a pretty good deal for what you get!
MOzen is now our go to brunch spot whenever we are in Vegas!
