| - My review is LONG, but thorough so bear with me :)
It's been months since the last time I've been here. We took the relatives from Hawai'i to this buffet (they're first las vegas buffet) last night because it was the cheapest $17.99 Seafood Buffet in town. It also has other good food and great dessert which matters to me when it comes to buffets. And some "ok-decent" hawaiian food. NO MORE OXTAIL. I saw reviews & quick tips for that, but I saw none. sad face :(. Also we went here b/c Green Valley Ranch's Feast Buffet is out of crab legs till JUNE! So props to Garden Court! :)
They open at 4pm, so start lining up around 2:30 cuz there was a amusement-park-ride long line. We got there just before 4pm and the line was already out the door. We waited for almost an hour, got seated just before 5pm.
We all went straight for the seafood section. All you can eat CRAB LEGS. The main reason for coming here. And for $17.99?! What more could you ask for?
oh btw the cold crab legs is near the salad area, the warm steamed crab legs is near the asian-hawaiian section, I didn't know that... you figure they would put them together. I wanted warm ones, but had already loaded my plate full of XXXL crab legs.
My family and I would say, "JACKPOT!!!" each time we opened a super stuffed crab leg filled with lots of meat..... SCORE! Worked out my arms cracking crab legs. feeelin' the burn!
We're a silly & crazy family, so imagine random yells of "JACKPOT!!!" inside the buffet area. We like to have fun. :P
This is a pretty good buffet compared to others when it comes to selection and price.
My major rant about this one was they didn't refill the CANNOLIS! I know they weren't the best, but they were pretty good for a buffet, I'm a big fan of dessert. In my opinion this was the best dessert they had there! I haven't seen cannolis in any other buffets the last time i went.
There were only a few left when I got some, and they didn't refill. I asked the guy behind the counter, and he said that's all they had for the day. WTH...... LOSE MONEY big time! :( sad face. I should've got all the ones i saw which was about THREE. I still can't believe they didn't have anymore for a buffet. They don't serve milkshakes so ask for a cup of milk, and grab some ice cream and mix your own... haha. Need to take advantage of everything they have to offer. ;P
DESSERT - decent -ok. lots of pies.
self serve soft serve ice cream w/ m&m's, nuts, & syrup on the side (chocolate, caramel, butterscotch.)
A rolled up chocolate cream thing was pretty good too if you like chocolate.
Chocolate covered marshmallow cream filled thing, it was ok... kinda weird, but I'm not a fan of it.
The coconut shrimp & blacked trout was good.
The clams were chewy, not a fan of that.
The crab & mussels soup -- only the soup was good. I LOVE mussels so i was disappointed with the mussels. :( sad face.
BBQ Ribs - good sauce but lots of fat, not enough meat. ewww gross. I don't like fatty meat. bleh.
Enchilada, kalua pig, lomi lomi, shrimp ceviche...kinda salty.
Hot wings - pretty good for buffet.
That's all I remember having... 5 plates, several small plates of dessert & ice cream. I'm stuffed. I think I'm good till Sunday.
Despite the cannoli incident, we were all happy :). Service was great, our waiter was awesome (an older filipino man), he was able to patiently put up with my dad's 10 million soda refills & napkin requests. Of course we left him a good tip. :)
Keeep the cannolis filled and I'll be a long time fan. ;)
