星期五早上從洛杉磯出發，直奔拉斯維加斯的Wynn Buffet(中間是有停一下outlet啦)，聽說Wynn的buffet是賭城最貴最豪華的，結果我們吃了後覺得也還好而已嘛！東西還蠻多的，但是也都只是普通好吃而已呀！還是因為我們是吃午餐所以一點都不豪華啊？

We left Los Angeles about 9:00am last Friday morning and drove straight to Vegas. (Well, with a quick stop at the Coach outlet... I just couldn't resisit.) Why did we leave so early? Because we wanted to go to Wynn Buffet for lunch.



I've read mixed reviews about Wynn Buffet. Some people say this is the best buffet in Las Vegas. And it's probably the most expensive buffet in Vegas, too.





We got there around 2pm. There was a very short line of people waiting.



Lunch price is much cheaper than dinner. Also I don't like to eat too much for dinner. So having buffet lunch was the perfect option. The lunch buffet price at Wynn is $21.95 per person.



We went up to the cashier to pay first. Then we waited in the seating line for about 10 minutes. The hostesses wore a really bright fushia color uniform and it looked so tacky.



The seating area was huge. After we seated, we waited for the server to come to take our drink order. Waited and waited and no server. They weren't that busy so where were the servers? I was hungry and losing my patience. So Dr. Park let me go get food first while he waited for the server.



The serving stations were divided by cuisines or courses. There are: salad, soup, shellfish, seafood, pizza, Italian, American, the grill, Asian, chilled seafood, sushi and dessert. The stations were very clean, but not well stocked. We came toward the end of the lunch buffet hour. Some trays were almost empty and they didn't add any fresh food.



This was my first plate. Shrimp cocktail was good. I really like marinated herring. Everytime I see this at buffet I always get it. It tasted a lot like mackerel. A little sour and fishy. I like it! BBQ bun was bad. It tasted like it had been sitting there for a long time. Spicy miso udon was not spicy, and I couldn't taste the miso, either. The udon was mushy. No good. Orange chicken was alright. It's just like the Panda Express kind of orange chicken. The sea bass was the best dish in this plate. So soft and tasty. Spiced lamb leg was delicious, too. Very tender. But they didn't serve it anymore when I went back for second. The spicy tuna hand roll was pretty sad. The rice was mushy and the seaweed was soggy. Even though they had a big sushi station, they only served spicy tuna hand roll, cucumber roll and some sad looking california roll. Very disappointed about their sushi station. At the sushi station, they also served individual salad in cute little cups. I grabbed a marinated mushroom salad.



This was Dr. Park's first plate. I'm all about quantity and he's all about quality.



Dr. Park also got a small bowl of gazpacho soup and a cup of salad with feta cheese. The gazpacho was pretty good. Very refreshing.



My mushroom salad was really good. Mushroom was marinated in balsamic dressing. Very tasty. Dr. Park's salad had no dressing and it tasted like salad with no dressing. I don't know it was meant to have no dressing or they forgot to put dressing on it.



My second plate looked pretty good. My mom told me the way to eat buffet is to focus on the seafood. And that was what I did. Clam chowder was rich, but a bit salty. Red snapper, salmon and sole were the three different fish I got. None of them were as good as the sea bass. The meatball was so dry and tough. Gross! Mushroom ravioli was good. Wish I got more of this. The corn was really really good. My favorite one on this dish.



My last plate of food. BBQ rib was good, but cold. Spanich rice and guacamole was yummy. Potato and beans were alright. We were really full at this point. But still gotta eat some dessert.



They have a huge dessert area in the middle of the buffet. Tons of pastry, cakes and ice cream.



Everything looked so good. Even though I was full, still got a big plate. Don't I look happy? Yes, I was happy!



Well, the dessert looked good, but tasted just alright. The http://www.eileenlikestoeat.commade ice cream was good. I got pineapple and lemon. Both were perfect for summer hot weather. I also got cheesecake, cupcake, chocolate tart, caremel eclair, banana mousse, apple candy and chocolate cake. My favorite was the chocolate cake. The rest were only ok.



Dr. Park also went and got a plate of dessert. His big dessert was 3 pieces of watermelon. (-_-")

So what did we think of Wynn buffet? I thought it was just alright and didn't really live up to its hype. The selection was good, but nothing really stood out. There weren't much sushi nor seafood like we expected. Maybe there's a big difference between lunch and dinner? Well, at least we got really full. Will we come back again? Probably not.

Up next: Wynn Las Vegas.......
