I made a taco and the ground beef was seasoned perfectly! Meats: The roasted turkey and sausage were exceptional. The prime rib and steaks were overcooked and dry. Salads: I loved the variety of salad dressings available! Fruits were sparse. There was only watermelon available. Soups: Clam chowder & pho were delicious! Desserts: Tasty and the portions were too large. Recommend making the serving sizes smaller to decrease waste. I stumbled upon the horchata and Melon drink dispensers. What a great find. Very tasty and fresh! Service: Our table server was Mauricio. He made the dining experience so pleasant and we felt like a VIP. He was very attentive and served with pride and a genuine smile! This was our first time at this buffet. We were instructed that we earned a one free person meal but after looking at our bill, we did not receive the discount. We were a party of 12 but we were good with being assigned 3 separate tables. They were gracious to keep us in the same area. Thank you. Ambiance: Warm, inviting. The plates were very accessible. Booths were roomy and very comfortable. Recommend: Moving potatoes near the meats area. It was a difficult find. We will return! Thank you for your service. Rondez

I have lived in Reno for 13 years and I suspect I have eaten at Toucan Charlie's at least 50 times…read more I have long regarded as the 'to go' place for visitors. Well, not any more. I arrived at 1140. There were maybe six customers in front of me. It took 25 minutes to get seated. There had only one person checking in guests. There were 3-5 hosts waiting to get guests to their tables (I have never seen this before). Okay, let's get to the food. Birria dry and not much taste. Spanish rice was wet. Steamed clams were awful; the liquid was oily and smelled fishy. Ma Po tofu was cold and tasteless. Boiled shrimp were tiny. Orange (?) chicken was a little tough and did not have a lot of flavor. Pho was insipid. (Chinese) beef and mushroom was not tasty The only things up to the prior standard were the Smoked trout Sautéed cod Sesame ball Deserts were as expected. Service by Delphina was excellent as always. Even with 'the Monday locals discount,' the bill came to $82 for two, less tip. Given the drop in food quality, it is overpriced. I have eaten lunch at Golden Corral (in Maryland) where the food was more satisfying and cost 40% less. I won't be bringing my Reno guests here any more. So after many years of 5-star ratings, today, they get a 3-star rating.

This was my first time to Legends Bay Oyster & Sushi bar. We had some guests from the Bay Area and…read morethey wanted sushi. Since Legends was offering an all you can eat option and a buy two sushi rolls for $12.99, we decided to give Legends a try. Everyone had a couple of sushi rolls and I decided to sample different nigiri sushi so I can gauge the freshness and quality. Salmon, if not fresh (or as fresh as can be in Reno) can be oily and fishy. This wasn't it. It can tell it was previously frozen due to the texture. As fresh texture has more resistance when biting down vs previously frozen tends to be softer, less bounce when biting. But it was good or even better than some other local sushi offerings. Tako or boiled octopus, is almost never fresh caught / cooked at any restaurant other than Japan. Even in the Bay Area, Tako is usually bought cooked but not frozen. This is where it can affect the quality. If frozen, it can make the tako kind of stringy and mushy. When it's not frozen the tako is firm and slightly chewy. I can tell this tako travelled a little but it wasn't frozen. Unagi or grilled eel, is almost always purchased cooked by most restaurants other than what I've had in Japan. Similar to tako, it is usually shipped refrigerated but not frozen. All restaurants will serve unagi over rice with a drizzle of unagi sauce. The flesh should be tender and any bones will be super thin and not a problem to eat. There weren't any bones which is a plus. This unagi didn't appear to be previously frozen. We also has the edamame, which is tossed in garlic and salt with some oil. Very tasty on a simple dish. If cigarette smoke bothers you, there wasn't any in the restaurant but apparent everywhere in the casino, so plan ahead. The tables were about 30% capacity and even with that, the order to service gap was fairly long. Our server was pleasant and willing to explain how the player's card program worked. Would I come back for sushi here? Sure, but I better be hungry to get full value from the all you can eat.

Their menu has appetizers, starters, and of course sushi. You can do à la carte sushi or all you can eat ! Everything was super fresh and extremely good quality. Some of the rolls were a little heavy on the cream cheese but nothing too outrageous. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is due to a lack of quality service. We had to flag servers down multiple times for extra sushi sheets, water and table settings

I remember seeing these guys on "triple D", and Guy was very impressed with their food. So, when I…read moresaw their booth at the Labor Day, weekend barbecue cookoff in Sparks, I decided to give them a try. I was not let down at all. I chose a platter with three ribs, hot link, cornbread, and for my sides, I chose their "porky beans", and coleslaw. Everything was amazing The ribs were succulent, and fall off the bone, tender, and the barbecue sauce was rich and tangy. The hot link had a good flavor, and had just enough of a "zip" to it, that got my attention. There was a good amount of pork in the beans, and I'm not sure what was in the sauce, but it was rich and delicious. The coleslaw was nicely, dressed with a little bit of pepper in it. The cornbread had just a little bit of a "sweet" to it, which I really like. It was also very tender. It didn't need any butter, or anything. This amazing meal, they only charged me 20 bucks. Worth every penny! Next time, I want to head into the restaurant to try some more of their offerings. Thanks for a great meal.

I wish they had better hours, split hours if unable to stay open longer hours (due to low traffic) and would open more days. Obviously late nights for weekends - Thursdays to Saturdays. Sundays to Wednesdays 8/9am to 1pm; reopen 5-9pm Thursday to Saturdays 7/8am to 1pm; reopen 5-1am ??(whatever time 30mins after club closes) Or for overflow morning busy hours when Rosie's has a line.

I only ordered off the "Authentic Szechuan Gourmet" menu and highly recommend you do too! I wanted to venture out a little so I got fuqi feipian (spicy cold beef and tripe) and it was incredible, as were the wok fried green beans. The cumin lamb and chicken wings were also full of flavor, and well executed. The service was pleasant and very accommodating to the group, we had a person with a peanut allergy and they let us order stuff with the peanuts on the side, and knew about the allergens in the chili oil. I'm looking forward to another visit so that I can try the Mapo Tofu, and spicy boiled fish soup.

My friend and I ordered, Sizzling Triple Delight and Sesame Chicken…read more Let me tell you... The meal came out on a sizzling hot plate. The shrimp, beef and chicken was an explosion of flavors in our mouth. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. Now, the sesame chicken sauce was very delicious, but I must say the Chicken could have been better. Some pieces were soft and tasty but some pieces were not soft as if the chicken was not fresh. The sauce definitely was a perfect sauce full of flavor. We are definitely going back to try more dishes. The lady that served us was very sweet. She checked on us frequently. She wanted to assure all our needs were met. The restaurant is clean and has a pleasant peacefulness about it.

The Atlantis Resort and Casino is already a must stop spot whether you're a Reno local or visiting Reno for the first time, so while you're here/if you haven't already, you definitely need to check out Red Bloom. Red Bloom brings a unique blend of popular cuisine from China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam to create a great menu of variety and flavors. From atmosphere, to food, to service it was overall a great experience. Transparently, it isn't often I receive 'bad service' however this particular day at Red Bloom, exceeded expectations. Not only was staff incredibly kind and welcoming but they truly delivered a quality customer experience. Everyone was incredibly hospitable and checking in with us regularly, we felt like VIP members and this alone created a very positive ambiance for our meal. We had such a hard time deciding on our options that day but ended up going with a number of appetizers rather than entrees as well as a Mango fruit tea boba! I'm a sucker for boba and the tea itself was super refreshing and very aesthetically pleasing. I'm not a huge fan of pork plates however, there are a few that I will bend for and the Pork Bao Buns are what bring me back to Red Bloom every time! They are such a nice texture and the cucumber compliments the meat very well. We also grabbed the BBQ pork buns, Crab Rangoon and lastly some Shrimp Har Gow which we topped with some chili crunch and soy sauce and it made a great bite!! Overall, it is always a great experience at Red Bloom. If you're looking for quality customer service, hospitality and good eats it's definitely worth checking out!

Probably a 3.5 but that is not one of the choices. Open 24 hours, OK not really, but when it is,…read moreit is good. Very reasonable prices (in this day and age). Good food is prepared and served promptly. The place is clean with nowhere to hide. There are about a dozen seats around the kitchen. Served as a mostly a to-go operation. Not health food but not meant to be. This is a casino/bar type grill that sits above a dive but below a bistro with the prices & service to match. Admittedly, if I plan to eat here, I always have a back up plan or two just in case it is closed. You can call ahead to see if they are open or place a to-go order (YMMV). I will take photos of the current menu and prices next time I go, but currently a normal combo meal is between 8 and 12 bucks.

Omg what can I say about this little hole in the wall gem?. Well I'll start with it was unexpected,…read morebut I found Cal Neva casino by word of mouth and I was walking by the Casino grill near the escalators they have typical American favs like patty melts, philly cheese & 3 different types of chicken wing sauces. I got the patty melt the first visit & the 2nd visit I got the chilli dog with fries and a drink so delicious. You can also add a second patty to your patty melt to make it a double for not much more. I gave this little place 4 stars, because the service was extremely slow and sometimes the staff working will close the place down while they sit in a corner all because they were tired or didn't want to stay open, but I'm sure he was on the clock I asked him and he said it was little busy so he wasn't taking orders anymore. I didn't complain due to the fact that he seemed to have issues which I know not my problem I wanted food, but came back the next day and a different guy was there I got good service but still slow, talked alot & also seemed to have some kind of life issues I'm not sure if Cal Neva employees are from a prison release program or what, but if they are I'm glad they can be employed at Cal Neva, but if not Cal Neva needs to be more selective about who they employee. Enough about the employee which will remain nameless, but the food is very good brought me memories of my childhood of good old fashioned American food.

I mixed it with spicy mayo and miso sauce . I liked it. The only thing is I wished it had corn as a topping Its one of my favorites to put in it. But other than that they had varies of toppings to put on it and shakers. I also was hopping to find the ice cream the south Virginia location has to top it off. But unfortunately they didn't have the freezer on. The parking is small in front but they are in a shopping area where u can find parking close by if they for any reasonyou don't find something out in front. The customer service was great she was very helpful. Overall will get it again . Even their hot foods are good like the garlic chicken, garlic shrimp, and even the musubi. Place is small so larger parties might not fit.
