| - Ohh mahh godd! I had been hearing about the M Resort's Buffet for some time and had been wanting to try it badly. First of all, it's called Studio B, not the M buffet (very helpful hint because googling "M buffet" doesn't get you anywhere). Coming out to Studio B is definitely out of the way when you're staying and partying on the strip, but it is soo worth that 15 minute drive.
We happen to come on a Sunday around lunch (technically, the seafood bunch for $29.99 per person) and there was a hefty line. I was already pretty hungry, but the line moved pretty quickly and in 30 minutes we had a table and were on our way to the food.
The food selection is huge! It snakes around with so many choices, different cuisines, so much variety. My bf and I have to survey all our choices before filling our plates. There is a lot of seafood choices, some American choices, a salad bar, good meat and fish selections, and then an Asian section. What is unique about the Asian section is that is actually broken down into different Asian cultures including Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian (not really Asian, but whatever), and more? Everything looked delicious, but of course, there isn't room for everything.
The outstanding and the must have:
-Crab legs. They had crab legs, 3 different styles! Jack-friggin-pot. Steamed, chilled, or cooked with an asian ginger sauce. All three were yummy. The ginger sauce was extremely messy, though. My friend noted that the chilled legs didn't taste watery or taste like they had recently been defrosted like some other places. A note to my primary care physician: there is a high possibility that I developed gout after this buffet.
-Eggplant parmesan. I don't know why I really loved this, but it was sure tasty.
-Dessert. Definitely leave room for the desserts! They were all amazing, but especially the gelato and the pistachio shooter. My friends also really liked the brownie that they topped with gelato, but I was too full to try it.
-Sushi. Usually I avoid buffet sushi because they are overloaded with rice and are usually low quality rolls. Studio B serves large pieces of sushi that looked fresh and tasted delicious.
The good and repeatable:
-Prime rib. Good, solid prime rib, but not the best I have ever had.
-Salad choices. The had many salad choices and all were very flavorful especially the antipasto.
-Sweet potatoes. yum yum yum. anyone else ready for thanksgiving?
-Shrimp. We had the Wynn buffet the night where their shrimp look like they are on steroids. Studio B has good sized shrimp, though.
-Mussels. The ones topped with mayo and cheese (i think?). Delicious.
-Cappuccino bar. Great way to end the meal!
The only two things I didn't like here:
-The bathroom is outside. Whyy so far and so inconvenient. Buut I guess this fault is forgivable.
-Oysters. I was excited to see oysters, but they were small and tasted fishy and gritty. I'll pass on these next time.
By the way, did I mention unlimited beer and wine is included with the meal?! Unheard of! You might want to take two strategies here: 1) forego the excess liquid to maximize food space OR 2) eat, drink, and enjoy the buffet for as long as humanly possible. Either way, you'll get your money's worth! I personally couldn't drink much alcohol right before the drive back to LA, but I tried their root beer on tap and that was dark, creamy, and tasty!
Studio B is the buffet where you get the most for your money in terms of food quality and food diversity. The giant TV screens that line the wall and the overall cleanliness of the place are added touches. You won't be disappointed!
