| - LAS VEGAS, ENCORE HOTEL: Like anything at the Encore, every business is a palatial experience. Wazuzu has a $1M crystal dragon adorning a wall and there are only maybe 15 tables in the whole restaurant. Amazing decor. Food is overpriced and not super good. I give it four stars instead of three because of decor and the curry dish, otherwise it's a very three star experience and two star value.
Have tried three items:
Roti Panang Starter (5 stars/$12): Delicious! Like a combination between traditional yellow curry and a Thai coconut milk Tom Ka Gai soup. Neat, warm slices of naan-like flatbread to accompany.
Drunken Noodles (3.5 star/$24) This dish is overhyped. Spicy and sweet, it is good but not something to rave about.
Lobster Roll (3 star): Again, at $30 this roll better be amazing, and it's not amazing, it's just a good, quality-prepared, but generic-tasting, boring sushi roll that doesn't have much flavor or pizzazz.
I just get the feeling this restaurant is going through the motions a little bit.
