How did I let someone talk me into this place?…read more First problem... The wait. No real organization coming in the door; so often waiting just to be seated, even if there are lots of open tables. Shouldn't matter that much for a buffet. Second - Signs are up all over the place telling workers how to perform their work. Including cleaning items. All of these SHOULD be just standard work that anyone working in a buffet can/would do. Just because you wrote it in a foreign language doesn't mean it is decor... it proves that your staff doesn't clean unless you repeatedly tell them. Third - Place was NOT clean. Bathrooms hadn't been touched. The table we sat at was sticky. Food was on the floor (I don't blame staff for this... this is a clientele issue!) But still had to clean things off the bottom of my shoe before getting back in the car. Four - It all tasted the same. Didn't matter if it was pork, chicken, shrimp, etc... just wasn't good food. Five - This is way too expensive for what you receive/tolerate here. It is apparent from the other reviews that people get wowed by the size of the place and the size of the buffet. It is a neat setup. But as consumers, we need to demand better food, because THAT is why you are there. Sushi was as cheaply made as it could be, and no one was manning the M-BBQ counter, so that wasn't an option on the day we were there.

Hotel and casino are very attractive and spacious, it is extremely hard to do anything if you have trouble walking for following reasons: No Valet parking even though there are signs directing you to valet parking. The walk from parking to the hotel register is very long. The walk from the hotel register to your room is long and the walk from your room to the casino was an adventure with many a false turn and misdirection. Table game dealers were like robots. No friendly banter at all except Eric. At 7 pm on Sunday during holiday weekend there was only one restaurant open and it was a puzzle trying to to find it, although I will say that Ak an pho restaurant was the highlight of my stay. I do not recommend if you have any trouble walking.

I ordered takeout, but I had a chance to chat with the gentleman who took my order, and he was…read moreincredibly kind. There weren't many people there, and since they're a newer business, I wanted to leave a review because they deserve to be on people's radar. The restaurant has a traditional Indian feel--warm wood finishes, darker tones, and a classic, authentic atmosphere. It doesn't have the trendy, modern look that a lot of new restaurants go for, and honestly, it fits the cuisine well. I ordered the garlic naan, vegetable samosas with mint chutney, and the chicken tikka masala. The garlic naan was fantastic--soft, perfectly grilled, and packed with garlic flavor. The vegetable samosas were crispy and flavorful. The mint chutney wasn't quite what I'm used to. I typically prefer a thinner, creamier chutney, while this one had a thicker consistency that reminded me more of a salsa. Still flavorful, just a personal preference. The real star of the meal was the tikka masala sauce. It was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I found myself wanting more of the sauce with every bite. My only suggestion would be slightly more tender chicken, and I felt like the rice could have been a little fresher. I'm big on texture and freshness, so those are things I tend to notice. Overall, the flavors were excellent, and I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu. If you're craving Indian food, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try and supporting a local business that's just getting started.
