| - In Planet Hollywood an Academy Award scene is enjoying the Spice Market Buffet. They say that variety is the Spice of life. And the Spice Market Buffet is a culinary walk of fame with cuisine stars represented in nine food stations: seafood, two salad bars, soup, dessert, Mid Eastern, Italian, American, Asian, and Mexican.
Asian Foods: The foods represented included spicy drunken noodles, Kung Pae chicken, miso soup, honey nut chicken, tilapia, fried rice, and spring rolls. I really enjoyed the spicy drunken noodles and miso soup. The spicy drunken noodles remind me of chow fun. The miso soup was tasty and served in larger bowls than at Courtyard Buffet. I would of appreciated it if they had wonton soup. It seems that that Cravings Buffet is the only buffet on the Strip serving wonton soup.
Soup: I was filling up on soup. So I passed over the chicken noodle and tortilla soup.
Mexican: There was a decent selection of Mexican food. The foods represented included Mexican corn, Spanish rice, Charro beans, Chile cheese, quesadilla, grilled chicken, and fajitas.
American : This station seemed to have the longest line. This makes sense because it appeared to be the only live station. They cooked turkey and prime rib that the chefs cut and placed on your plate. Near the meat was rice pilaf, ribs, mash potatoes, and BBQ spice chicken. The Asian and seafood stations were filling me up and I passed over the fresh cut prime rib and turkey.
Seafood: This is the Spice Market Buffet station that is worthy of an Oscar. There was far more seafood than the so-called Station buffets that double the price and make a steak and shrimp gimmick on a popular night that people go out. This got the most action on my plate. The seafood represented included sushi, seafood paella, shrimp scampi pasta, stuffed sole, snow crabs, Cajun crawfish pasta, and peel eat shrimp. This seafood station is my minimal expectation of a seafood buffet.
Mid Eastern: The neat thing about buffets is they bring out the adventurous eater. What is the worst thing that could happen if you try something and you dislike it? I was adventurous when I went to the Mid Eastern station. What should I try? There was chicken curry, couscous salad, lamb, Taboull, hummus, and kabobs. I'd try the couscous salad and hummus. I'm glad I got to try it because now I know that I don't care for Mid Eastern food.
Italian food: If there was eggplant parmesain or veal parmesain, I would of filled up less in the seafood station. I was not crazy over the selection. They had pizza, pasta, meatballs, and some other food.
REPORT OF MY 11/01/2015 VISIT:
If you sign up for a Harrah's credit card, they reward you with two complimentary buffets. My brother took advantage of this deal. He invited me along for the zero cents buffet. Around 5 pm on a Sunday we met up there. We saved over $29 each. And we saved on time. There was no line. And there was zero waiting on the server to ask you what to drink. Upon paying for the buffet, you order the beverage that the server brings to the table. In lieu of waiting for the server, I made a beeline for the food stations. I'd mostly full up on Asian foods and seafood to the point that I passed over dessert. Throughout the dinner, the server occasionally checked up on us and never rushed us.
The Spice Market Buffet was an Academy Award Winning scene in the basement of Planet Hollywood. However it falls short of being an Academy Award Buffet. In my opinion it falls in the middle of Las Vegas Strip buffets. In Yelp ratings, the middle is 3 stars.
