Undoubtedly the best buffet in Las Vegas - it puts all other buffets including the Bellagio and the Wynn to shame. Dinner is $35 and starts at 5pm - placing it in the same price range as most other evening buffets. What sets the Wicked Spoon apart is that the food is exceptionally good. It is more akin to high end cuisine than ubiquitous buffet food. They seem to concentrate on quality instead of quantity. They excel not only in taste, but also in the presentation. Rather than serving everything in large pans with a common spoon that everybody touches - each dish is served in individual sized pots and pans. This is not only more appetizing, but also considerably more hygienic - brilliant concept. The range of foods is also quite good from salads to fish and chips to Japanese, Chinese and Italian cuisine. The dessert area is really outstanding, ice cream, cakes, cookies and chocolate.

I don't get what all the hype is about. This is the lowest quality restaurant of this family of restaurants (Raku, Monta, Kabuto, etc..) Service slow. portions below average, frankly nothing stood out as original or even that good, and mediocre quality. Basically its your typical ayce sushi joint that caters to the South west suburban crowd. I can go anywhere and get just as good and easily find better.

On the upside--when you order the scallops here, you get more than you would expect at any other restaurant. On the downside--they were gritty. :-( The dessert (chocolate hazelnut cake & banana crepes) were amazing and perfect & the trio of hummos was excellent. Unfortunately, my husbands salmon was so-so, at best. The fish itself was OK, but it was sitting on this repulsively bland pile of something that constituted half the dish. I think it might have been squash, but I can't even say for sure. It's a great location, with a fun, busy atmosphere, so it's really disappointing that the food kind of misses the mark. Or, at least, the food that we had missed the mark.
