My buddy Tony T, which is a chef, recommended this place, which is in the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino. The Cosmopolitan is a beautiful hotel, there was nothing wrong with the hotel, Except the BUFFET! They make it upscale, but it's not all that. There's no flavor at all. You have tourists, which have lost all there $$ on Gambling. They feel they should recuperate there losses with eating all the food they can. They make the portions very small, in little plates (tapas style), but you can only fill 4 items on your plate. That's a lot of dishes to work with. Well, since I lost so much $, i wanted to eat so I can have some energy to play again. 1. SERVICE: Our waiter was not to be seen. We had to flag down a Manager after 20 mins of dehydration, once we spoke with the manager, we had prompt response with our drinks, with 2 other waiters. We still didn't see our waiter for another 30 mins. Once we did, we actually had to ask for sugar because there was none available for our Ice Coffee and Ice Tea. 2. PHO STATION: The Soup was not hot and they place the Greens under a food hot lamp. All the greens were wilted. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? 3. LABELS: Most of the dishes have no labels. You pretty much have to guess what the dish is. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I thought this salad was with taro, but it wasn't. I had no idea what that stuff was? Even their soups, you had to guess. There were 2 choices of soup, Pho Base or Miso Soup. of course, they don't label it. I betcha most of the "WHITE" people put the miso soup with the Pho Rice noodles. that's a major faux-pau in the culinary industry. Just my opinion. 4. DESERT BAR: Again, they have no labels next to the items, so you have to guess what the heck it is. You had to flag down someone behind the bar in order for them to hand you a desert behind the display case. They should leave that out, if you have to wait there for 5 mins to get a desert. They had this Egg custard , in an Egg shell, that Tone recommended, which had different layers of flavors. I was so intrigued. So I got one. But to my dismay, it was just soup. It was a creamy shot of Blah.. he said it was not made right, since the first time it was made. it was suppose to be layers, but they did not let the layers set. 5. RESTROOMS: They have a very very small restroom for the Buffet. only 4 people can fit in the bathroom at 1 time. When I was there, only 1 urinal was available. so a max of 3 people can be in at one time. This is okay, but after i finished my meal, the Desert Egg Shell Custard shot did not agree with me. At least I can recommend the Egg custard as a Laxative.

THEY ARE CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! I had an errand to run and looked up "Bakery" on Yelp and this was the closest one. I arrive, check-in, walk over and lo and behold the place is closed. I was upset. Why would it still show up on my lit or map.. I wasted 10 mins trying to get in the parking lot just to be in shock there are chains and a lock on the door. Maybe they didn't pay their rent?? DO NOT DRIVE HERE..

I strongly believe in supporting local business. But, my sister, who is a dear, sweat individual who wouldn't insult and do wrong to anyone, was accused of lying and trying to manipulate a previous transaction, all due to the fact that their salesperson sold her the wrong size item. I understand there was a misunderstanding, can happen anywhere, right? Oh, did I mention the owner called my sister a liar, brutal !!! But to scream at her and make my sister cry was beyond comprehensible, just cruel, really. There is never any plausible reason to behave in such a manner. I strongly feel this business should move to a far, far away place, people like her don't deserve to serve our lovely community.

MEXICAN? CHINESE? CHINEXICAN??! W-H-A-T? Ok, now that I've figured that out I can say that this place was amazing. I've heard great things but honestly I never let comments affect my opinion before I eat somewhere. There were a few meals that were definitely family sized including both the 20 vegetable fried rice(a must have) and the noodle/soup dishes. The tacos themselves are very different and each has its own unique taste/texture. Duck tongue taco? Yes please! There was a problem with one of the dishes and it literally came out about 10-15 minutes after we were done eating so we no longer wanted it. Service was a bit poor and inattentive aside from the food mix-up but the food was so tasty that I barely wanted to take off a star.
