I go to this place a lot for the buffet which is ok. Not really that big of a buffet and if you don't get there when it is fresh you might get some pretty cold food. However this review is about their take-out service. I give them a C- for this experience. They do not give a good portion size to take home and the food was a little bland. I expected more from them. I ordered the pan fried dumpling and the sauce that came with it was very gross it was like they didn't know how to make the proper sauce so they just gave me soy sauce and some spices to go a long with it. It was not good at all. I will probably be going back but only for the buffet would not recommend take out and i will not be doing that again.

Lets just say that this place was like home to me for 4 years when I was in COLLEGE. The food is great and if you pack the bowl high enough it will last you for days. Five stars aren't enough. The only negative thing I have to say is, WHY ISN'T THERE A YC'S IN CHICAGO YET?

Finally got to come and hang out at the Golden Nugget pool when it was hot out. The last few times I went it was not swimming weather in Vegas. Wife and I stayed at the Nugget and I saw they was a Oktoberfest with 40+ different beers on hand. Such a great event and well put together. They had all the great brewers there...Ballast Point, Stone, Green Flash and MANY other greats. Got to hang out and drink good priced brew and hang in that awesome pool and watch sharks swim. I even charged the slide a few times. Drinking and Sharks....is there anything better? CHEERS!!!

Ok, I admit: I'm really hard on restaurants, but my standard is simple: The food has to be better than what I can prepare at home. Sweet Lady Wife and I went to Amante tonight. I ordered Mix Seafood Penne. Here's the description on the menu: "King crab meat, shrimp, chopped garlic, lobster sauce, pepper, garnished with asparagus & parmesan cheese" The dish I was served bore little resemblance to that description: penne pasta, run-of-the-mill creme sauce, some asparagus spears and three - count 'em: three - shrimp. The decor was beautiful. I wish the food lived up to it.
