Answer: I ordered through GrubHub and I paid dearly for the privilege. I had a Thai iced tea, the duck larb salad, and 3 salad rolls. The Thai iced tea did not disappoint me, it was sweet and tasty. However, the food was not really what I expected. The salad rolls were mediocre; at a Vietnamese restaurant I frequent, these are filled with lettuce, mint, cilantro, shrimp, pork, and have a delicious refreshing taste. However, when ordering these, the shrimp was optional ($2 extra) so I opted out. But what I received was basically just a mishmash of lettuce greens and shredded carrots. No peanut sauce was provided - not sure if this was by design, or an oversight of the delivery. Very overpriced at $5 for 3, based on their ingredients. The duck larb was also weird. I have not had larb many times, but when I first had it many moons ago, it was delicious ground beef with ground rice along with some nice herbs and spices in a delicious dish. This duck larb was pieces of admittedly delicious duck, in a greasy, watery brown sauce, with some cilantro and random veggies like tomatoes. No ground rice was apparent and I would really hesitate to call the end result larb at all. Also, I ordered it "medium" and it had no discernible spiciness that I could tell. Delivery was fast and efficient, but with my quibbles about the price and quality of the food, well, I might go back for one last-ditch try, but with all the bad reviews here on Yelp already, I am extremely reluctant to try anything else, and I will likely skip this in favor of more tasty delivery menus in my area.

Answer: We recently hit up Ciudad (Susan Feniger's DTLA restaurant) and felt it was imperative we try Border Grill the restaurant before we meet the food truck bearing the same name. Got hooked up on Restaurants.com for a wickedly good deal. Check before you go anywhere new! Located inside Mandalay Bay, all the way on the remote ass side by the convention center and the pool, is Border Grill. Sorta feels like a reject location since you pass like 18 sub-par restaurants on the way there. Anyway...we sat on the patio despite it being 100+ degrees at 7:30 pm. They have the biggest ceiling fan in the world (it seems) and the patio faces Mandalay's pool so if they're having a concert, you can hear it for free AND enjoy your food! Service was amazing from the waitress (Thank you Alicia!) down to the busboys/water people. Basically Border Grill offers fancified Mexican/Central/South American foods...a slight fusion if you wish. I HAD to order the Sweet Tea Vodka Arnold Palmer drink. They make their own lemonade AND infused vodka with black tea leaves?! Delicious. We snacked on fresh (and perfectly crunchy) chips with three different types of salsa. We ordered guacamole as our appetizer not anticipating we would be getting more appetizers with our meal. Guacamole was perfectly seasoned, no sour cream or mayo or whatever some places put in it...just perfect. We probably ate 3 baskets of chips. Chose the Top Chef prix fixe dinner. Basically it comes with a preset trio appetizer and your choice of any entree and any dessert on the entire menu, including specials. MOST excellent! Appetizer Trio- Sweet corn tamal, Beef Brisket taquito and a black bean+plantain+cheese empanada. Almost full at this point but so eagerly anticipating my Pistachio crusted Ahi with Poblano risotto that I actually have the foresight to save room! I was kinda wary about the pistachio tuna but thought it was so out of the box for me that it couldn't possibly be ruined. And it wasn't. The only thing was that they stressed that the tuna would be lightly seared, but I received it fully cooked through, possibly even slightly overdone. But somehow it maintained its moisture and it was incredibly delicious. Banana flan. As if flan could be better? Wow...somehow I found room for this in my stretched-thin stomach. Beautiful meal.

Answer:
I don't see why people like this place so much. It's a buffet place and when you are cranking out the food in a buffet, it's usually not the best and that was my experience when I was here for dinner. They had lots of different sushi options to pick from, but sadly none of them were labeled. The few sushi pieces I did have just didn't have the quality and freshness that I'm used to. The rest of the buffet food was subpar. Lots of rude tourist also doesn't help the overall experience. We were seated in this landing area and they had two tables blocking much of the step up/down, which made it very difficult to get in and out. Just overall a bad experience and given that it was $30, definitely not worth it in my opinion.
