I really like AYCE. The idea of putting a sushi house in an old Outback seems hilarious to me…read more Apparently, I am not the only one, because the place is getting busy which is great and bad. When my wife and I first tried AYCE, it was during their soft opening. Great food. Great service. Lots of tables. I was worried about them staying afloat. They have grown and their ratings are not suffering significantly.

James took care of us at dinner on a Friday night. He was awesome and explained the menu very well…read more He made some really good recommendations and I'm glad we listened. We were here specifically for Restaurant Week and I have to say, good a really good deal considering the prices of some of the items we got. The Wagyu tartare alone was $52 already, and we spent $90 on a 3-course meal for RW. We had crispy rice tuna, Wagyu tartare, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, cinnamon roll, and the smores cake. To drink, I had an old fashioned with a Japanese whisky. It was nice and oaky. The wife had the she so spicy which was excellent (I had a sip). Everything we ate was divine; the only thing we were a little disappointed in was the consistency of the crispy rice. We wished it would have been a bit more sushi rice consistency on the inside, but it was a bit too soggy. Everything else was amazing though, especially the sea bass. The restaurant itself is so pretty, and we happened to get seated in the instagrammable area with the greenery. We are locals, so don't really care much for a strip view, but the restaurant does have a nice one. Would we come back here and pay à la carte next time? Probably not, but only because we try to avoid the strip like the plague.

My husband and I did a staycation at Fontainebleau last weekend and decided to book dinner here to…read moretake advantage of the 20% off for locals deal. They also allow corkage for only $35, so that was another money win. The service was excellent but the food just did not impress us, except for the burrata which was excellent. The tuna crispy rice was fine, a bit bland and definitely needed soy sauce. The pork gyoza was loaded with way too many bonito flakes, we actually left 1 of the 4 on the plate, just not into it. Lastly, the duck stone pot. We had to send this back which I hate doing, but we both could not take more than a bite. The rice was very hard and undercooked, it had a bad aftertaste that we just couldn't put a finger on, and it even looked unappealing overall (basically a pot of mush). The server was kind enough to remove the stone pot from our bill and we opted to not have dessert. This hotel has way too many fantastic restaurants, so we likely wouldn't return here.

We love this restaurant! It's our favorite place to get fried rice! Our favorites are the brisket…read morefried rice and the lobster fried rice we also always get the Short rib dumplings (pan fried) to start, they are so delicious and I love the sauce they put on. It's not close to the side of town we're on which is far north west, Skye Canyon,, but we feel it's worth it! The waitstaff is always very attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to the menu. We actually come here often enough that we are very familiar with the menu and we always know exactly what we want to eat and drink! Sorry this review is so late but every time we go to Fremont Street we eat, have drinks and then we have a good time so I get sidetracked and forget to finish reviewing lol Overall, this is a really great restaurant. It's kind of small, but we've never really have to wait very long to be seated. The best part about it is, it's in Circa which doesn't allow anyone under 21 in the casino so we don't have to worry about those kind of large parties! (Just my personal opinion)

Very good restaurant if you're craving Asian food. I came over here massively hungover and this was…read moreexactly what I needed. Great decor, ambience and staff. Very attentive and friendly. We got the brisky dumplings, pan seared. I Was expecting the small din tai fung sized ones with little filling, but these were FAT dumplings, with good amounts of brisket inside. WE got the brisket fried rice - also very good, and the garlic noodles. I really liked the char that the noodles and rice had. Only thing for me is that the fried rice and noodles seemed to have a little too big much oil in it. I don't think that's an indictment on 8 east itself, but more of a general Chinese/Taiwanese cooking method. But other than that, I would certainly come back again.

Food was delicious. Got the option with the A5 wagyu and lobster. Great quality and well worth it.read more

Fast and friendly service. We will return!

Wifey and I decided to check out a Desert Dogs game and heard good things about Chinitas. So…read morefigured it's tapas and sushi, we can get some little things before the game. First, give yourself time to park. Water Street can be a little hard to find parking at times. Nothing that the restaurant has to do with. The food was good. Nothing crazy exciting, but good. We got some lettuce wraps, some rolls, steak frittes and some nigiri. Wasn't very fusion to me. Different cuisines yes. But no fusion as far as combining flavors. Service: Service was good. Nothing super memorable but nothing bad at all. Which I'll take over bad service any day. Ambiance: Small little place. Cozy. 2 top tables are pretty small. So don't order to much at once. It won't all fit. All in all, just kinda average. We live pretty far, so unless friends want to go, will probably try somewhere different on Water St. next time.

Great experience at Momofuku! The pork belly buns were incredible--tender, flavorful, and…read moredefinitely a highlight. Everything we tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The duck is a must-have dish. Great atmosphere and a fun spot to share a few dishes.

Came here for a light lunch with 3 other of my girlfriends as we just arrived and was hungry but…read moredidn't want to eat too much as we had an early dinner reservation elsewhere. Saw the menu and thought it would be perfect to grab a couple of dishes to share. We started with the caviar buns. While the chicken was crispy, it was slightly dry, and the flavor completely overpowered the delicate caviar, making it difficult to appreciate what should have been the star ingredient. It totally did not worth the piece. The pork belly buns were also a little disappointing as the pork lacked the tenderness and juiciness I was hoping for. The ginger and scallion noodles with shrimp had a nice al dente texture, and the shrimp were the highlight as it was well prepared and flavorful. However, the overall seasoning felt a bit underwhelming, and the dish could have used a stronger depth of flavor. The standout dish of the night was definitely the rice cakes. They had a great contrast of textures, with a lightly fried exterior and a wonderfully chewy interior. The sauce was well-balanced, with just the right amount of spice and sweetness without becoming overpowering. Overall, there were some enjoyable elements, especially the rice cakes and shrimp, but a few of the signature items fell short of expectations given the price point.

I think Tao Buffet is still pretty new, and I actually really liked the concept! There honestly…read morearen't that many all-Asian buffets, so I was excited to check it out. Overall, I thought the ingredients were fresh, the quality was solid, and most of the food tasted really good! One thing I wasn't the biggest fan of, though, was that they serve almost everything for you. I totally understand it's probably to reduce food waste, but it doesn't really feel like a true buffet experience when you can't just grab what you want yourself. Part of the fun of going to a buffet is walking around and trying a little bit of everything at your own pace. Food-wise, I was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was actually really fresh, and the tonkotsu ramen was another standout for me. That being said, I'd probably avoid the oysters. I'm pretty sure a few of my friends ended up getting food poisoning after eating them, so I'd personally skip those next time. One thing that really stood out to me was the service. Everyone was so friendly throughout our meal! At one point, one of the servers noticed I had been waiting for the fruit to be refilled. I didn't think much of it, but a few minutes later he came over to our table with not one, not two, but THREE plates of fruit for my friends and me! It was such a thoughtful gesture and definitely made the experience even better. Overall, I think Tao Buffet is a really solid addition to the buffet scene! The quality of the food is definitely there, and I love the concept. I just wish it felt a little more like a traditional buffet where you could serve yourself. I'd still happily come back though--I'd just skip the oysters next time!

If you're in Vegas, do yourself a favor and eat at Best Friend. Huge thank you to my brother-in-law…read moreand sister-in-law for recommending it because it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. It's best to make a reservation, but you can also grab a spot in the bar area if needed. Everything we ordered was phenomenal--the Slippery Shrimp, fries, kimchi carbonara, and wings. The Slippery Shrimp is absolutely to die for and something I'll be thinking about long after this trip. Every dish was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and completely lived up to the hype. Roy Choi absolutely nailed it. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were incredible. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Vegas!
