| - At $6.99 for lunch + the optional $1.29 for soda + tax = $8.95, a lunch at Buffet @ Asia II should be on anyone's Vegas cheap eats list. Is it gourmet? Definitely not. But what you get for dining here is the great selection of items that are constantly being refilled by the staff.
I braved the sushi selection, which is okay at best. It has your typical inexpensive California rolls to those that are topped with broiled eel and eel sauce. If you want AYCE sushi, I guess you can do it here on the cheaps or better yet, pony up another $13-15 for it at a AYCE sushi place around town.
The Chinese food section is better. Although there are some items that I would suggest avoiding all together, such as the Salt & Pepper Shrimps (it can be messy to eat, and the quality of the shrimp or the way it was way overcooked makes it not worth the effort or the chance to waste the food).
And here is a quick review of what I remembered eating.
Mapo Tofu. Tofu is good, not spicy, and not the authentic version you would expect if you ordered this at a regular Chinese place.
Beef & Broccoli: I liked it.
Beef Tenderloin: Too tough, which means it was overcooked.
Seafood Combo: The shrimps are cooked well and it is tasty, but the imitation crab meat is not good at all. My guess is the quality of the imitation crab meat used is on the cheap and low quality spectrum, which means it is made more with flour fillers than fish.
Chicken entrees: I tried all of them and I think they are all pretty good for a buffet. Except the chicken wings, which are fried too long, and pretty dried inside. The teriyaki Chicken is also okay at best.
Vegetable Tempura: Not the refined version served at most Japanese restaurants, but I still enjoyed it. The yam tempura is my favorite. As it can get rather greasy, I suggests waiting for it to be refilled and grab the ones on the top.
Wonton soup: Definitely have had better.
Garlic String Beans: Good but greasy.
Mongolian BBQ Station: I didn't try it.
Dessert Donut: Not bad for fried dough tossed in sugar.
Agar agar based desserts: Not bad. Except all the plates are kept hot for the hot foods, that it warms up the desserts you place on it.
You can also order boba drinks and customize it with the fruit smoothie flavors you want for an additional nominal charge.
Service is good, definitely enough waitstaff to clear the tables quickly and offer to refill drinks frequently.
Location: Conveniently at the corner of Rainbow and Sahara.
Parking: There are plenty.
Perverted Old Asian Men: Must have came on a wrong day/time or seated in the wrong section, but I didn't see any.
Take out: Yes
Price: Pretty low. So perfect for those on a tight budget that can't cook at home.
