| - I have eaten at Wicked Spoon Several times now. It is pretty much your typical Las Vegas Buffet. The food is decent but not extraordinary. Like most buffet it's about quantity over quality.
My friends and I ate there this past weekend with a large party. In total we had 26 people. Dinner on Saturday night is $39 plus tax and 21% service charge added on for our party.
Food:
The food is decent. The have selections pretty much from every genre: Asian, Italian, American, etc. My favorite dishes were the Kalbi Short Ribs and the Crab Legs. Let's be honest the only way to get your money's worth is to fill up on meet and crab!
One thing I do like about this place is that some dishes are portioned into small servings. This helps me control the amount of food I take, which leaves space for the good stuff.
Service:
Service is not that great. In, fact that is why I'm giving them 3 instead of 4 stars.
First, our drinks were not promptly refilled. I only got one, while others at our table never got a refill. Glasses were empty most of the night. Might be because our party was already required to pay the 21% service fee. Kinda sucks.
Second, My buddy anticipating that we would have a large party called ahead to make reservations. When he called he made reservations for 28. Ultimately only 26 of us showed up. However, they squeezed us into tables not meant for a party of our size. That was not the issue.....
When the bill finally came. They tried charging us for all 28 people. Seriously?! I understand the spirit of the rule, but we were only 2 short in a party of 26, service sucked and you charged us 21% gratuity. I would understand if we were 5+ short or something. After speaking to the manager and him calling someone else they finally agreed to charge for the 26. BUT definitely a waste of time. We sat there for like 30-45 mins while they figure that out.
Overall its a decent buffet. My preference when visiting Vegas is to eat at a regular A la carte restaurant. However if you like buffets Wicked Spoon is OK. Just beware if you have a large party reservation.
