    Korean short ribs
    Christine Y.

    Came here with friends on a Saturday evening and it was pretty busy. Made a reservation beforehand so there wasn't a long wait to get seated. I never realized that they had the extra dining space in the center of the restaurant strip specifically for Rim. We were seated in the enclosed portion directly across from the Buffet. It had a nice decor to it with dimmed lighting but because it was enclosed, it was super noisy once it was packed with diners. A little difficult to enjoy conversations over a meal. Our server was great when it came to recommendations, friendliness, and taking our order. We ordered mojitos and a lychee lemon drop which were really good. They were delivered to our table right away but food took at least half an hour to arrive. My friends ordered sushi and green curry while I tried their Korean short ribs. We all enjoyed the food. The short ribs tasted pretty good, just not quite the same flavors as other Korean short ribs I've had elsewhere.

    Celebrating Chinese New Year with my son and took advantage of the CNY menu and was very happy and satisfied. My son also ordered lobster fried rice and some sushi which both were delicious. It's been awhile since I've eaten here and I am impressed with the menu. Granted it has been about 7 years since the last time eating here for the only reason being there are other great restaurants here that compete. I loved the long life noodles and really loved the sea bass. Nicely spiced with scallions and ginger. Service was very fast. They were very busy on a Saturday night. We ate in the annexed area and it was pleasantly quieter.

    Miso soup?
    Brittany G.

    I've tried this place several times and it just doesn't hit. Sushi is ok. Just ok, especially for the almost $50 AYCE price tag (which is only available at the sushi bar). Service is hard to come by. You'll have to wait 15-20 minutes for a drink refill. The lighting is also very dim. The item portions and quality are very different than most traditional sushi spots. Their miso soup for instance is HUGE. It's basically in a ramen bowl and lacks miso flavor. The sushi is very bland. Skip on the sashimi and raw fish. It's not fresh.The hand rolls are the only things worth eating. Salmon skin and spicy scallop ones are good. Come here at your own risk!

    My group decided to eat here since it's inside of GSR which an event we were going to was hosting so for ease of planning we made a reservation for this place. The main restaurant is tucked in a corner so there's not a lot of tables which is why they opened another section, across the way to accommodate bigger groups like mine. The restaurant itself was fine, decorated nicely and service was ok. I didn't think it was a crazy night but we didn't get checked on often which led us to not having any refilled water. The food wasn't great, I hate to say it. Seemed to be overpriced for what we got. The quality and taste was mid but the portions are generous. So don't set your expectations too high and I think you'll be fine. Also don't be fooled into upgrading your rice to fried rice. Multiple people in our group did upgrade and we had to share a small plate of fried rice. As opposed to keeping the steam rice where we each had our own portion. So overall thoughts, come here but know you're not getting stellar food and you're going to pay a premium for having the restaurant being conveniently located but it's nothing to rave about unfortunately.

    So we have been here before, and they put us in some room away from the restaurant...and the food was just OK. We were here for a Saturday comp, and decided we would give this one more try...I am glad we did this. This time they put us in the main restaurant, and it was so much better! We ordered two big Sapporos to start...I thought these were fairly priced...we were not terribly hungry so we split an order of beef chow fun and asked for it spicy. This was very good and plenty of food for us. I thought the beef was plentiful and the dish was very tasty. Our server was very good and seemed to not be bothered by our small order, especially on a Saturday night.

    Kung Pao Chicken & Green Beans with Beef
    Chris S.

    Rim has been a staple in GSR for as long as I can remember though it's a struggle to understand why if the experience is consist with my own. Best aspect is that it's fairly well decorated, it's a clean aesthetic with a little Asian inspired flair. Unfortunately service can only be described as waiting. Every step of the dining process was more waiting than it was enjoying food or receiving menus/checks. I think it took about 2 hours to make it through a quick app and entree meal. Food was equally disappointing with the Kung Pao Chicken lacking any semblance of pow and hardly distinguishable from just corn syrup in taste and consistency. Shockingly the green beans were cooked excellently with a satisfying crunch but was accompanied with very gray beef. Overall it was too long and too much for too little experience.

    This was our first time here with a group of four adults and two children (ages 10 and 7). The restaurant was very crowded on a weekend night, but we were able to get a reservation for 8 PM. Our table wasn't ready right away, and we were offered seats at the sushi bar, which we declined, so we waited a bit. I'm not a huge sushi fan compared to the rest of our group, so we didn't go for the unlimited sushi option--but it was absolutely worth it! We ordered a variety of dishes: the sashimi was fresh, the desserts were delicious ( Ube white chocolate cheese cake and mochi ice cream), and the service was top-notch. I even tried several sushi rolls though I forgot some of the names, and ended up liking them too. I added lots of pictures to capture everything. Overall, everything was great, and we had a wonderful experience.

    Ube White Chocolate cheesecake
    Sharan G.

    Food was Ok, not very exciting compared to the price. Service was fast but they missed bringing ginger and small bowls for mixing soy sauce and wasabi. We received our sushi plates and wondered if they donot serve it. When we asked the server apologized and brought it. Good thing about ordering Mochi ice cream is that you get multiple flavors- mango, strawberry and chocolate. They were out of coconut chocolate parfait so we ordered Ube white Chocolate cheesecake. It was alright. Ambiance was good with dim light and beautiful light pendants hanging from the ceiling. This place is good for eating sushi, if either you are staying at GSR or at the casino and do not want to drive up to a different location for food.

    Rim Fried Rice** 4/25:26
    Emily A.

    Given the reviews I didn't expect much.... However I was very surprised at how good my Rim fried rice was and the price was very fair (24$) for not only a casino but the portion was shareable. The pork was a tad bit fatty and sweet but I loved the shrimp. I was with three girlfriends that preferred sushi and they ordered four rolls all of which they enjoyed. Golden gate, snow mountain, lion king, and mango tango. One sake which my friend said was just fine and one raspMary martini which I tried It wasn't bad. I saw them making some good looking virgin Mojitos with lavender in them. I wish I would have tried one. We sat at the bar outside the restaurant so no notes for inside. The two girls working in the Bar handled it well for as busy as it was for a country concert weekend and a volleyball tournament weekend. Food came out pretty fast. Locals discount. Gluten free items clearly marked (so helpful!!) I hope the rice tastes the same because I will be back for that.

    I usually do not patronize the venues on Restaurant Row at GSR however the other evening, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun and I was not disappointed, it was rather good. The Asian ambience was very well done and inviting and my server Clayton was great.

The Se Ew was also really good and had such a great flavor. I was so happy with everything we got! The people working there were also super sweet and helpful, which made the experience even better. They have seating inside and outside, so it would definitely be a cute place to sit and enjoy your food. I'm already wanting to go back the next time I'm in Reno to try more things on their menu.

How it was served gave a very homey feel. - Mango Sticky Rice: The rice is sweet and the mangos were good. However, there is a big difference in the amount of mangoes and rice they serve per plate compared to the first time we were here. Overall, the food tastes good and the service is okay. I am disappointed in the lack of consistency with plating and amount of food that is served. I would not eat in the restaurant in the future, but prefer take out.

Our server was very knowledgable on their vegan items so it helped in our decision making. We ordered the Mushroom Salad, a Tofu Pad Kee Mow, and their Tofu Satay. The mushroom salad was a refreshing standout filled with a variety of grilled mushrooms on a bed of greens. Our noodles with tofu and veggies was also great - large portions and plenty of protein. As for the satay, they accidentally brought out chicken satay at first, which our server immediately noticed and rectified the issue. When the tofu satay came out, it ended up being skewers of fried tofu puffs that you'd dip into their peanut sauce. While delicious, I was hoping there would be more creativity in layering or marinating the tofu with the sauce like the chicken satay would have been. As a Californian, I appreciated the lower pricing for their menu items and found it fairly inexpensive given the times.
