Q: I always get the lemon chicken and it's delicious! Nice light batter and very crispy with a good amount of sauce. The potstickers are also very good.

Q: "Hurts so good - come'on baby make it hurt so good..." ------------------------ First of all, thanks to S.B. and Mr. K for joining me for day of beautiful weather and damn good Vietnamese food. It was everything I was hoping to achieve and for the full table of food - we each paid less than $12/each. Craziness. I am going to have to let the men speak for themselves and ask that they share their meal with everyone, but I can tell you from my perspective - lunch was damn good and worth the three-hour-nap that I took afterwards. I had saved my daily java for the Vietnamese hot stuff that I knew would be at the restaurant - and it had more sweetened condensed milk in it than I expected - but I 'suffered' through it. It was good. We had Shrimp Spring Rolls and a Vietnamese Crepe Appetizer that had a plate of accompaniments such as mint, lettuce, and cucumber. We devoured both - and I'm pretty sure that it was because they were good, not just because of our hunger pangs - but again, I'll leave it to the men to discuss. Then they started bringing the additions for my Pho - I ordered the 2A - Beef Pho. I had a plate full of bean sprouts, jalapenos, and purple Thai basil. When the Pho came I filled it with all the jalapenos, most of the basil, and a strong hand-full of bean sprouts and a good spray of Siracha sauce. Damn. It is so good. I start with chopsticks and am working through very methodical bites of jalapeno, basil and pieces of meat. Oh crap. I don't know these guys and I ams starting to search in my food. What are they saying, crap...we're having a conversation...and it's a good one. Focus, I have to stay focused! Okay, I am out of beef - there's lots of broth and a ton of rice noodles left - I need to get busy - loose the chopsticks this is a job for a fork and spoon! I dig in Italian style. I, then, initiate the fork/spoon twirl and soon find that the prep cook never split the noodles - this is a bowl of fully connected, never-ending rice noodles. Crap. I am going to have to try to bite in and not be too obvious - SSSSSLLLLLLLUUUUUUURRRRRPPPPPPPP! And, there it is. I slurped in front of strangers and not just once, it was more like five, ten or fifteen times. I knew I was getting full and wasn't making so much as a dent in my Pho - and I was starting to embarrass myself - so I held back. Not to mention, just as when you eat ice cream too fast, you get a cold brain; when I eat too much Pho too fast, I get "fat, fuzzy, MSG head." Mr. K., and S.B., thanks for joining me and I'm still singing.... "Hurts so good, come'on baby make it hurt so good."

Q: Carnival Buffet at Rio got three stars from me, this one is receiving 2 stars. the set up of the buffet, downstairs with a max cap of 1200 is awesome but the food was not that great. $20ppl (that's with a 10% coupon) too was a little steep. there is not a big selection of food. and this is from comparing it to the Rio's buffet. it seems like they consolidated their buffet as the right end of it had nothing there on a saturday afternoon. it was OK but i rather pay for additional cab fare to go to the Bellagio or Rio for their buffet.
