| - I remember coming to this buffet as a child. Ignorance is truly bliss when you're a child. You can't distinguish between bad food and good tasting food. Being able to just enjoy McDonalds, without being drunk.
@ Snow Crab - Its just crab, nothing spectacular about them. Doesn't have the fresh or sweetness taste to them. Unlike the Wynn or Bellagio, the Rio doesn't split the legs in half for you. One of the waiter gave me a tool to assist in splitting the crab legs, but the tool was worthless.
@ Prime Rib - The staple meat at buffet that actually delivers. It came out nice and red, as it should be. Now this isn't as good as Lawrys, but it was acceptable for a buffet. If it wasn't for this, I would have felt jipped here.
@ Sushi (California, Shrimp, Salmon, Tuna) - Disgusting. You can find better sushi at a gas station in Baker when you're heading to Vegas.
@ Pho - You get more flavor eating rice crackers seasoned with salt and pepper. The noodle was a mushy mess and the broth was probably made using beef powder to get the beef broth. The beef was sitting in the pool of water, letting it sit there to get well done, aka burn to a crisp beef.
@ Mashed Potatoes - It wasn't the worst I had, but it was pretty bad. Need a little more seasoning or butter.
@ Salmon - This was a salmon steak that the "chefs" just brought out. it was so hard that I was considering giving it to one of our neighbor juveniles instead of using rocks. It'll still break windows when you throw the salmon at it, but at least its biodegradable!
@ Lasagna - Just last week I had the lasgna you get from Costco. That stuff tasted a lot better than the stuff here. It just lacks the meat or cheeses for it to truly be a good. Garfield disapproves of this dish.
@ Mussels - This was in some black bean sauce. It had a funky spicy kick. The sauce just overpowered the taste of the mussels.
@ Velvet Cake - This was almost redder than my prime rib. It was good however.
@ Brownie - I think the NHL accidentally delivered hockey pucks to the Rio. It did taste fine once you're able to break it up and get it into your mouth.
@ Carrot Cake - One of the better deserts here. You can just taste a hint of the carrot and the cake was just moist and delicious.
@ Chocolate Cake - This was some weird tasting chocolate cake. Pass.
@ Coconut Gelato - I love coconut and this was my favorite gleato out of the bunch.
@ Tirmasu Gelato - This is coffee, not tirmasu. I don't like coffee, so I didn't like this gelato at all.
@ Oreo Gelato - They went a little overboard on the cookies, you can't even taste the gelato.
@ Coconut Cream Pie - It was just okay. Not great or bad.
@ Cream Puff - Yum. Similar to the ones you find in Asian bakeries on Spring Mountain.
@ Lemonade / Ice Tea - The drinks that comes with the dinner just tasted weird. It just didn't taste right. I tried 3 different glasses of drink and it all tasted the same. Can't even execute something as simple as flavored sugar water.
I did use my locals discount which was suppose to be good for a 2 for 1 or 50% off your buffet. Instead, our party of 3 got 50% for everyone, so our total came out to $36 or $12 per person. For $12 this buffet is worth it, otherwise I wouldn't spend $25 at this buffet. I rather go to a regular restaurant for $25 and get better food.
Our server was truly nice, but even he can't do much if the quality of food just sucks. I noticed the plates weren't really that clean, with a noticeable dark sheen on it, gross! The floors wasn't swept when food fell down. The buffet area wasn't wiped clean. I stepped on some kind of desert. Gross.
For half off, its not a bad deal eating here. At full price, just avoid Vegas buffets and go to like Cheesecake Factory instead. If you want to do buffet, do Studio B or the Wynn buffet. Quality of food is abysmal and you should just go elsewhere.
