We used to order from NYPD quite often, but this place has gone straight downhill in the last few years. We called for pick-up tonight and were put on hold. No problem, it's dinnertime and they're busy. Someone comes on the line and asks if we're ordering pickup or delivery. We tell them... and get put on hold again. Okay. The guy taking our order seemed totally clueless - probably another new high schooler they hired. He required long pauses between each item of our huge order of 3 dishes and 2 sides. Not terribly difficult, we thought. When we arrived, they tried to tell us that the olive oil that goes on their pasta is plain. Um, seriously? I'm paying for plain olive oil on my plain pasta? I can do that myself! I know for a fact they usually season their olive oil, as do ALL decent Italian restaurants. The fact that I had to argue with them about it was ridiculous. We had to ASK for some garlic and seasoning to be mixed in for us. Thanks. Next, we specifically ordered garlic CHEESE knots - confirmed two times over the phone - only to arrive home and discover we had plain garlic knots. If we'd known, we would've saved the money and just had the ones that came with the entrees. Most upsetting was the fact that we were, indeed, charged for the CHEESE knots, not the plain ones. How complex IS this? Finally, we had to actually request a side of sauce for our cheesecake, when this was never explained over the phone. Funny, since the website menu specifically states the dessert comes with raspberry topping. If there were options, maybe we should have been informed when ordering. If we hadn't caught the mistake, we would've left with... a slice of plain cheesecake. Fantastic. For nearly 5 bucks? I can get two slices for half that at Walmart, strawberry swirl included. All this for overpriced, bland food, an enormous wait time, an incompetent staff, and one huge headache. The pizza is good, sure, but the hassle is NOT worth it anymore. If this is how they run the show now, then I'll take my business somewhere tastier and cheaper.

Wicked Spoon, like the Cosmopolitan Hotel it is housed in, is a welcome breath of fresh air in the culinary buffet scene. While buffets like Wynn and Bellagio have long dominated, Wicked Spoon does things entirely differently....and succeeds. It is easily the best new buffet in years. For $29 ($37 with unlimited mimosas, bloody marys, and champagne), the weekend brunch presents the following: - selection of cooked items across more ethnic cuisines than any other buffet can match. Fried chicken, korean short ribs, Vietnamese Shaking Beef, Thai curry, and dim sum to name a few. - excellent presentation and an attention to flavorful and delicious food, not just quantity - the best dessert selection of any buffet. Rather than soft serve ice cream like many places, they have a full on gelato bar here. Wow. - Prime Rib, slab bacon, linguica, Rack of Lamb, and Prime Rib Bone are just a sampling of the excellent carving station - more high-end pasta dishes and artfully presented in small metal pots than I've seen anywhere. If you like pasta or carbs, Wicked Spoon will clearly win you over. Gnocci, butternut squash ravioli, Smoked Mac and Cheese and Cavatelli are among the top choices. - great salad and fruit bar, again with innovative and new items like gazpacho puree, blt salads, endive salads, and dipped strawberries that look more like a high end restaurant than a buffet The only thing keeping Wicked Spoon from 5 stars and possibly not clearly being the top buffet in Vegas is the following: Sushi - California and spicy tuna rolls. No nigiri, no other rolls, and no sashimi Seafood - they had cocktail shrimp and smoked salmon, but no crab legs, jumbo prawns (Aria, Bellagio), or lobster claws or any other notable seafood Soups - could only find a miso soup. Missed the rice porridge from Bellagio (for the Asian high rollers) and other soup options. Overall, I was thrilled with the value and the variety of Wicked Spoon. I will clearly be coming here again, but for true seafood lovers, I can see them liking Bellagio, Wynn, or Sterling more. Nonetheless, while not every item was great, so many things were done right and so differently that Wicked Spoon will be one to bookmark for a long time. Wicked Spoon accepts credit cards, including American Express. My Buffet Rankings: 1) Westin at the Bund, Shanghai - $60/person and an excellent selection of sashimi, seafood, roasted suckling pig and fresh hand tossed Chinese noodles. 2) Hakone, Oahu - all-you-can eat toro, uni, kobe beef, and amaebi, $60/pp. 3) Sushi House Goyemon, Las Vegas - great nigiri, sushi rolls, and cooked appetizer and dessert selection for an unbelievable $26/pp. 4) Navio at The Ritz Carlton - only down a slot secondary to the astronomical price ($88/price) but made up for with a spectacular view, top notch service and great food. 5) Wicked Spoon, Las Vegas - great cooked selection, variety, and high end presentation. Unmatched desserts and gelato. $29/pp 6) Bellagio, Las Vegas - congee, prime rib, shrimp/crab, sushi $35/pp

Food was pretty good, not that much of a selection though. Just your ordinary favorite Filipino dishes and then some. Nothing too different that will blow you away. I would recommend this restaurant to people who definitely miss some good ole Filipino food. And or for people that if it's their first time trying Filipino food. I would start here for sure. Pretty good service when I went and it wasn't too crowded so there were a lot of empty seats to seat my family and I and just enjoy. Pricing is pretty decent and affordable. Definitely going back sometime in the future.
