| - Used to be my favorite until Wynn Buffet opened up.
Went back this past weekend for the Sunday brunch since we had time to kill before our flight. Once we got there around 1pm we had to wait for about 40 minutes, which is a good thing IMO. I was afraid quality going down since the last time I came was 2 years ago but crowd is a good sign.
Got in, and was surprised to find that the Sunday brunch was less than $30! They have all the usuals: carving station with prime rib, seafood, American, Mexican etc. Our favorite, surprisingly, was the spicy tuna roll! I was skeptical when I first tried it but the surprising kick drew me in. The rest of the table tried it and I think we must've killed over 20 of them as a table hahah. The crabs were great since they were cracked in half for you.
Tried the turkey and prime rib at the carving station. Both were pretty good, but nothing too crazy about them. Great au jus for the prime rib and they offered both creamed and smooth horseradish on the side. At around 4pm, they started switching to dinner and they had this bacon pork belly at the carving station as well. A little salty but not bad.
As for the Asian food section, again, nothing too crazy but I did like the BBQ pork bun. There's also a Mid-Eastern section with hummus, tandoori, and others. It's a nice change from the American and breakfast food items :P
The dessert section had a lot of different mousses and cakes, but my favorite was definitely the creme brulee. Not served during lunch/brunch, but since we stayed long enough for the dinner service, they had creme brulee out. The soft serve machine was down so I didn't get a chance to grab anything :[
In the end, I was pleasantly surprised that Spice Market Buffet was still good after all these years. I remember when this place was the shiet and even with the new buffets popping up, serving "higher class" buffet items, Spice Market is doing a good job!
