| - Given that I give this place 5 stars, and my wife no better than 2... this should be an interesting review to write. (Since I'm writing it, the average of 5 and 2 shall be 4. Ha!)
For our first ever Vegas buffet, my wife and I decided to take on the Wicked Spoon. We were only going to spend 2 hours in Vegas because we needed to be in Phoenix by the next morning.
I was largely pleased by their offerings. The Korean short ribs were nothing short of awesome - tender, sweet glaze, mouthwateringly flavorful. I also highly approved of the curried vegetables that I got in the same area. Honestly, every item I picked up at the Asian table was a winner.
Less good was the Asiago gnocchi, whose bean curd-like texture I highly objected to. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be, but I didn't like it.
Over in the traditional breakfast side, some of the standout items were a type of eggs benedict that had a nicely flavored hollandaise sauce, their own recreation of half-inch thick bacon, and a biscuits and gravy that I thought was well flavored with drippings (if slightly separated in the pot, which I rectified with a great deal of agitation) but my wife said "she could make better".
The dessert table was overflowing with all sorts of desserts, and you're not going to get to all of them in time. The standout here was a chocolate-covered velvet cake, filled with creme. In other words, a homemade Ho-Ho. They also have many flavors of gelato, and I found the mint chocolate one my wife had to be decent.
Overall, (I thought) the service was good and the food of high quality. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here the next time I'm in town.
