| - I had such high hopes after reading all the reviews. This review is for their weekend brunch
For the price, 69 dollars on New Years Day, I would have rather forked out 20 dollars ~ more for Sterling or 30-35 less and go to the Wynn or Bellagio.
There really wasn't any breakfast options. No omelettes, simple eggs, bacon and I expect some from a brunch concept. I get it's an Asian inspired but even Jasmine has much more offerings.
They had a waffle option from the entree but since each guest selects a premium entree along with the buffet, we went with the scallops and Hong Kong style steamed grouper. The grouper was a filet and lacked flavor. If you're used to traditional steam fish you'll be disappointed. The scallops were average- delicate but under seasoned.
The best entrees of the brunch was the sashimi. They had three varieties with salmon, yellowtail, and tuna. They slice it to order which is nice and the quality is good but given this is Mozen and not your everyday Vegas ayce sushi joint, how bout some mirugai, salmon belly, conch, or something other than abc sushi? I'm not asking for o toro here. Other than the 3 sashimi items, there was unagi worse than makinos and some abc spicy tuna rolls.
The desserts were the best part of the brunch hands down but I can't imagine they made them all. If they do all praise.
I was disappointed overall with their brunch buffet. It wasn't in line with what was presented online - much more paired down with very little breakfast options other than some continental croissants and muffins.
The noodle soup station was alright and the carved ham, roast beef and chicken was no better than a 25 dollar brunch buffet u can get elsewhere. Service was decent at best- our waiter was nice but extremely busy and didn't have much help. I'm not a snob but for what we paid we expect either better food or service to compensate.
For 69 dollars you can do much much better. All the other reviews are good so maybe I'll come back for their bento dinner deal but I won't be back for brunch.
3 stars since I ate prob 60 dollars of sashimi and great desserts- the rest sucked.
