| - The Bayside buffet, one of my favorites here in Las Vegas. Our family seems to mostly visit this buffet every single time we come to vegas (which is like twice a year it seems). Alright, here we go:
Being Asian in all, most of us LOVE seafood and here at Bayside Buffet, you will not be disappointed. You must not compare these delicate crab legs to the ones offered at your local Chinese buffet or Todai's, this blows them STRAIGHT out of the water. For starters, you are offered I believe Dungeonous Crab (SP?), Snow Crab and Alaskan King Crab legs. The crab is fresh an amazing and even more delicious when dipping it in butter (yes, I know I am clogging my arteries, ugh). The shrimp was shrimp, not too shrimpy but not tiger prawn status either.
As for their food selection, its not all that amazing. The hot/warm food didn't really catch my attention. It comparison to Bellagio and Wynn, they lack in a lot of offerings when it comes to international flavor and style. Though I will give them credit for their cook to order pasta station. The chef did however mess up on my order as I requested white sauce vs. the red. But I'm not THAT picky so it wasn't a uber big deal to me. The desert section too seemed lacking. Though I was quite impressed as their self serve ice cream was not the typical regular chocolate and Vanilla. It was a spiced up version of Vanilla and Chocolate and it was just heaven really. I believe it was a Vanilla Custard.
Overall, I give Mandalay Bay a 4 out of 5. Its not quite there yet but its pretty delicious when you compare it to a Bay Area Buffet (from Cali). Service was fabulous, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just right. Hooray for Mandalay Bay!
