A: I had been wanting to try oh my grill since last year during the final home game for the pirates I spotted it packing up because they had sold out of food so I knew it had to be just that good. I went to a food truck round up at Coffee Buddha and finally had the chance to partake in the grilled cheese and I was not disappointed! I ordered the number one-smoked gouda,carmelized onions, and bacon with a potato soup dipper. The potato soup dip absolutely made this sandwich! Grilled cheese is hard to go wrong with but it was just that much better with the soup dip. I saw a lot of people getting their mac and cheese which I will have to try the next time. I love a good grilled cheese and this just hit the spot!

A: Ah Yelp photos let me down. I've been searching for more of a Thai style Tom Kha Gai and I literally searched through all Yelps of the Thai places in Vegas to find one similar to Lao Thai Kitchen which changed owners. I finally decided to try Ocha's version for lunch with some friends based on the photos I saw. First of all the restaurant is huge. It was actually pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated promptly and there was one server. The price points are average for Thai food in Vegas. The dishes were on average $11-$12 which is okay. There's some cheaper places and some more expensive. The place wasn't so nice inside as the table was all beat up with some sharp areas you'll have to be careful of. We got pad thai which was good but nothing special. Not the best but most the worst. On the plus side it did stay nice and moist. We got Thai beef salad which was okay. It really just tasted like it was dressed with lime juice. It was really one note. There was pretty much just lettuce and some beef slices. Last we got the Tom Kha Gai. It was not good. I know that Laos and Thai people all make it different and I've had this soup many times. I've heard of the sour flavor from the soup coming from lime or tamarind. This place definitely used tamarind and it was super sour and super salty. You couldn't taste any spice just salt and sour. The portions of chicken and mushroom in here were generous though. I can't say that about the pad Thai or beef salad though. My two positives were that they gave us a generous serving of white rice & I believe the sticky rice was on the house. That reminds me their rice was not good. Sometimes you just want plain old white rice and they definitely didn't use jasmine rice. Otherwise it was not cooked well because it was dry. Overall our lunch kind of was lame. Service was slow as our server was pretty slammed so we were barely checked on. We also got our check super late BUT they were able to split it three ways and there wasn't a card minimum which is nice. I wouldn't recommend this place

A: My weekends are often times busy as heck! It's also a great opportunity for me to connect with friends! Every meal is reserved for a new friend and new experience. For Saturday's lunch, a friend recommended Shabu Grill as it offered some delicious food. I haven't been to Shabu Shabu since I moved up to Vegas almost 7 years ago, so I was excited to experience this again. For those not in the know, Shabu Shabu is a savory dish where thinly sliced meats, veggies and noodles are cooked in boiling broth. Once, I heard that Shabu Shabu was actually an onomatopia referring to the sounds coming from the pot when the ingredients are being stirred. Whether or not that's true, my taste buds certainly made the decision to Shabu my way to Shabu Grill. Shabu grill is located in one of the most popular intersections on Silverado Ranch. If you've been to other popular places like Sushimon and Thai House, you know exactly where I'm talking about. Shabu takes a chunk of the building, close to the corner of Silverado and Maryland. When you walk in you'll notice the bar to the left and a couple of fake palm trees and bamboo sectioning out the actual dining area. The dining area was actually pretty nice and modern. Stainless steal vents over the tables, exposed air duct on the ceiling, marbled table that gives a granite counter look, exposed rock countering. In the middle of the restaurant was a non-alcoholic bar area with a big boat on top as the focal point. Although they had servers clearing the tables and bringing appetizers, this was an all you can eat joint. My favorite! For lunch, the AYCE option was $20. It came with unlimited food and 3 choices from the appetizer menu. How it works is you choose our broth, either non spicy, spicy or half and half, and then go to town on the food. All food options are served in two big reefers. You grab a plate or two, open the doors and choose what you want. They literally had everything! Baby bok choy to tofu skin, mushrooms to dumplings, lamb to pork belly. Everything you wanted was there for the taking. As many items as your arms could juggle was available. Remember though, it's all you can eat so pick out what you want, go back to your table and go get some more! I really enjoyed the long stem mushrooms, bok choy, lamb, pork belly and pork gyoza. For this visit, we chose the spicy broth. I'm certainly not the spicy kind of person but trust me, it's not spicy at all. It makes the food tangy and flavorful! With the thinness of the meat, you'll be going back to the reefers again and again. I must have visited them at least 6 or 7 times! On top of the AYCE items, we were granted 3 appetizers off their menu. I chose the chicken wings, lamb chops and pork chops. All apps are included in the $20 bill. The chicken wings were crispy and juicy on the inside and came dry meaning without a sauce. The pork chops were tender and super flavorful but the lamb chops were the star of the show! Although it wasn't cooked at a medium temperature, it was still perfectly grilled. The seasoning was light and allowed the lamb flavor to shine through. Highly recommend this app! I'm always appreciative of the interactive types of meals. Korean BBQ grills, fondue, Sukiyaki, they're all the same. Having the interactive element makes eating the food that much better. I'm definitely sure that I'll be back again very soon. Now that I've discovered a location close to my friends' houses, it will give me an excuse to come back again and again. If you're in the Silverado area and looking for a good place to eat, check this place out! You won't be disappointed!

A:
Was pretty disappointed that I missed their breakfast buffet ($10) by 10 minutes, but was very satisfied with there lunch selection. There's way too much food to list, but believe me, there's a big enough selection that you'll have more than enough to satisfy your craving. If you're a big dessert person, there were pies, cakes, ice cream, and gelato galore. Consider how many people and tables there were, service was very prompt. My water and coffee remained filled the entire time.
