i honestly didn't find Wicked Spoon the BEST buffet- but it was definitely worth the trek and cost. the food was displayed well and in cute containers or baskets... the table service was horrendous.
whatever happened to self-serve buffets? i miss being able to make graveyards and floats and drink what i wanted without having to ORDER it through an idiot. we were a table of 8 or so- the server kept forgetting drinks and at one point UTENSILS that we requested. ugh.
the food- i was happy to see a few healthy options, but there wasn't enough. everything was deep fried, cooked too long or just plain unappetizing. if a buffet has a lame salad bar- i am turned off completely. yes, call me a boring veggie-loving buffet goer, i might as well go to Soup Plantation or Zoopa, right? well, i would if there were one in Vegas, buddy!
the carving station was a bore to me... the sushi was disgusting and an embarrassment. WHY even have sushi? i was impressed to see that they had Pho at the buffet, so i had to try it. WORST MISTAKE EVER. the broth was bland, the noodles were cellophane (it's supposed to be a medium size rice noodle) and the soup/noodles were so cold, i couldn't even eat it. yay! for having breakfast/brunch items such as bagel lox & cream cheese (which was NOT that great tasting) and eggs w/ sausage and bacon.
what i DID enjoy was the decor. the functionality of the tables against the buffet- it was too conflicting for me. i had to bob and weave just to get back to the buffet. the tables weren't set up in a way to allow a person in a wheelchair to get around safely.
