| - Let this be a lesson to anyone reading this: Do not, repeat, do NOT attempt to eat at a Pan-Asian restaurant nestled in a French-themed casino!
Let's go through the ordeal step by step, shall we?
Our party of 7 arrives, and we wait maybe 15 minutes. Pretty fast for a decently sized group, I'd say. The waiter arrives and is more than willing to help explain each dish. Up until this point, I found the staff to be very friendly and knowledgeable. I should have known there's no such thing as a safe bet in Vegas.
We all order a pretty decent variety of dishes and appetizers. There was sushi involved, but the sushi felt refrigerated. Hard, gummy rice surrounding rubbery fish. Ah, appetizing.
There were cheese wontons that were, upon further inspection, lacking in cheese and flavor. Ah, wonderful.
I ordered pad thai, which is a pretty generic dish. A friend ordered glass noodles, which have the special distinction of being translucent when cooked. The once knowledgeable waiter must have suffered mild brain trauma on the way to the kitchen, because when he returned with pad thai some time later, he first took it to the table next to us, who were already finishing their swill. After figuring out his mistake, he took the pad thai to my friend.
"Glass noodles!" he says.
I interject and say "that can't be glass noodles."
The waiter, the man who WORKS here, proceeds to argue with me about glass noodles. I simply said that couldn't be it, and that glass noodles are clear. He's a tough cookie and insists that he brought the correct dish. As he's arguing, a second waiter comes and shouts "glass noodles!" and places it in front of my friend. He brought the right dish, and the first waiter is left holding my pad thai, which I have to ask for. He was completely lost. Ah, incompetence.
Every dish that arrived, went to the wrong table first. I didn't realize it was customary to introduce my food to everyone else in the restaurant before allowing me to eat it.
After all the waiting and confusion, the food was terrible! There were 7 of us, and usually someone out of a group that big would find something they like. Only one. That's a 14% satisfaction rate...how do you like those odds in a casino? We actually left the restaurant starving, because 90% of the food wasn't consumed. Oh, and the price wasn't nice, either. Ah, robbery.
Please, take the money you would spend on the lousy meal, and take a gamble at eating anywhere else. ANYWHERE. Eat from a hobo's hand, I don't care, it's a safer gamble than trying to find edible food here.
Ah, shit.
