    A portion of their dessert area.  Try the pina colada panna cotta.

    We visited wicked spoon around 9am on a Monday morning. Food: good selection of the core breakfast items. Favorites of the day included chicken & waffles (thought the syrup on a tube was absolutely darling), the tri tip and the French toast. The kids liked the scrambled eggs. Service: we had a lovely server Hong who went above and beyond in making us comfortable. He was quick to bus our plates and when we couldn't find cream cheese he literally tracked it down for us (turns out not near the bagels but the salmon lox). Because we went early and it wasn't a weekend... we were able to grab a table with no wait. By the time we were leaving (almost 11) a line had started to form. It was widely spread out and we didn't have to talk loudly to hear one another like other places. We would go back again. Pics are of the dessert section.

    I was really happy dining here. This is my second time and the other time I had a buffet breakfast at wicked spoon was in 2012. So it's been a minute. Arrived at 8:30 and there wasn't much of a wait at all. We got seated right away. My partner got orange juice and I got coffee with the side of cream, although I did drink it black. The best part was the tri-tip and the ham carving station. Even at 8:30 AM, you had your choice of horseradish to go with the tri-tip . Because growing up in an Asian household.... All I needed was the ham and some white steamed rice and I'm good. On the regular breakfast front, There was also bite-size portions of Chia pudding, which I also appreciated. I liked the mixed fruit. I went for the scrambled eggs because I was too lazy to wait in line for a custom omelette or a fried egg. In the dim sum and Chinese food station , the haw gao tasted just right. I didn't wanna fill up on a lot of dumplings, but they did have the usual steamed pork buns and pork siumai. I was especially happy when I saw the sugar-free pecan oatmeal cookie because I'm supposed to be eating healthy and it was pretty delicious. For other sugar-free desserts, they had chocolate gelato, which was sugar-free, and that was good as well. The gelato ice cream bar was a perfect way to end your all you can eat brunch. You could add toppings to the if you wanted chocolate chips or sprinkles or vanilla, wafer, etc.. The decor is still modern enough but you can tell it was from the 2010s.. overall the place is very clean and the staff are attentive enough to enjoy AYCE. We did stay for our full 90 minutes, I had to keep going back to get food for my partner because he was working remotely on his laptop the entire time. Yes, I did sneak out a banana and some starlight individually wrapped mint candy. They had other candy jars up for grabs: tootsie rolls and dum dums, etc.. Oh, one last thing the price was 49.99 per person plus whatever tip you want to add. We have the American Express platinum card and redeemed our daily breakfast credit of $30 per person through the FHR program. Remember, on the platinum you do have to charge it to the room and cannot make reservations in advance if you want to take advantage of your breakfast credit.

    More like evicted soon, am I right? Wicked Spoon is the long-lived buffet in the Chelsea Tower of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. I prioritized other casinos' spots earlier in my Vegas career, then shifted focus quickly to much-more-affordable local AYCE sushi experiences when I moved here. It was only after I heard the rumors that MGM plans to remove all buffets from their properties by next year that I started having some regrets. Fortunately, a friend from out of town invited me out here today for brunch, so I finally went. He kindly covered it for both of us, although I believe it's in the fifty-dollar ballpark, which isn't too bad in light of what I had. The wait to get in was probably about 15-20 minutes (possibly expedited due to low party size). (Buffet strategy advice section: walk around and look at everything, take small portions when possible before considering seconds, get creative like just grabbing lime/lemon wedges to add to other foods or beverages.) A lot of their takes on some of the main buffet draws are hits for sure. Their crab legs are salted to the right amount, and the meat releases easily from the shell. The shrimp from the same station is easy to peel and is cooked nicely enough. The steak from the carving station - I could only see a tri-tip label, which might track - was tender and pink, worked well with the chimichurri sauce, and also provided an excuse to enjoy great sides such as mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The bone marrow was super decadent. The smoked salmon was pretty standard. And pretty much all of the desserts which I tried were good to great: mini chocolate lava cake, bread pudding, banoffee ice box cake, chocolate mousse, Thai tea gelato, raspberry sorbet. The biggest issue I had was with the short rib polenta. Although the short rib was tender and the polenta was cooked nicely, it was extremely bland. The dim sum options mostly looked mediocre upon lifting the steamer lid, and the shu mai ended up a bit too chewy. And they didn't seem to have little dishes for the soy sauce either, so I improvised only semi-successfully with the plastic butter cups. The green curry mussels were a little less than fresh. And the juice station looked real interesting, but the apple cranberry one was too sweet and the mango passion fruit tasted as if they'd made an agua fresca and let a bunch of ice melt in it. The server was attentive enough with refilling beverages and clearing the table. The music is their take on vaguely energetic buffet music which I was accustomed to in my trips to one of the more expensive Strip buffets. The plates, utensils, etc. seemed pretty clean overall. Overall, Wicked Spoon is a pretty solid mid-level Vegas buffet that definitely works at its price point. Consider me sad now that I've experienced it to know that it will likely go away sooner than later.

    It's located on the second floor of the beautiful Cosmopolitan hotel. They're open daily 8am-2pm Definitely recommend making online reservations otherwise they accept walk-ins but prepared for a long wait! I'm lucky I made an online reservation a few weeks in advance so I didn't have to wait! I went to the buffet on Monday at 11am and was surprised it was pretty packed! Pricing was not too bad since it was just $50/person. Service was friendly and attentive. There is 90 min time limit! Inside was spacious with plenty of seating. Don't expect as many selections as Bacchanal but that's expected since Bacchanal charges twice as much. There weren't that many selections since it's basically just a brunch buffet. There was a good variety of breakfast dishes, such as Egg Benedicts, French toast, waffles, etc. The egg station was my favorite since it's made fresh and there's the option to choose how you want your eggs and what to put inside. I went for the omelette and it was delicious! The crab legs were also very good and I liked how there was someone serving the crab legs so everybody has a fair chance to get a good amount! The crab legs were very juicy and fresh! The meat selections were pretty limited and the meat was quite dry and didn't taste that great. The chicken and waffles was disappointing since the fried chicken wasn't crispy and tasted like it was out for quite some time. The waffles also didn't taste fresh and didn't taste good. The dessert selection was decent. Definitely enjoyed the desserts the most out of everything at the buffet! My favorite was the gelato station! The lychee sorbet was very tarty and not too sweet. The creme brulee was creamy and tasted so delicious! The tiramisu had hints of espresso and the cake was so fluffy and fresh! Overall, I thought the buffet was ok but I wasn't too impressed with the quality or the selections unfortunately so I most likely won't return or recommend.

    We come here every year for my hubby's birthday. I had the bright idea of doing a reservation online, and I did for Sunday August 9th instead of Saturday August 8th. I realize my mistake and we went on Saturday at noon b/c we would be on a Delta flight at 5am that Sunday. We go and speak to Karen and their cashier. I tell Karen everything and ask if there's anyone that can fix this. She said NO. Then says we can pay the $146 again plus $50 to jump the line, and they would figure out how to fix the reservation I dated in error. That Sunday Aug 9th, once we landed I called and spoke to Stacey who identified herself as the Asst GM. I couldn't talk to her fully b/c I was in the airport, and we hung up. The second time, I was in the shuttle, and tried to reason with her. After she was like "there are no refunds", we hung up. The third and final time I called, I could talk and was in my car. I asked if ANYONE could make this right. Stacey stated that Sheri the GM could. Stacey asked me why I didn't ask for a manager on Saturday. I advised that I did ask and was told no one could reverse it. Stacey then says, "I'm not sure why you were told that b/c all THREE of us were here." I asked, "What do you mean all three?" Stacey disconnects the call. I don't call back b/c she gave me Sheri's email. I sent Sheri my email and it took a couple of days for a response. At first, Sherri only apologized for the experience. I wrote back that she did not address THE DUP CHARGE. She finally gives in and refunds my money after I advised that AMEX would be contacted. Lesson: DOUBLE CHECK your date of the reservation. Do NOT make a reservation, just go to the VIP LINE, pay $146 to get in and $50 MORE to skip the line. If you make a reservation, you WILL stand in one line after the next. I'm giving two stars for how this was handled. No ONE has an EXTRA $146 to GIVE AWAY! I don't know who else has experienced this, but I'm not paying for what I didn't get. Please share your thoughts!!! VER our WAITER was AMAZING, and this review is only for the greeters and management.

    Wicked Spoon remains one of my top three Las Vegas buffets. So much so that my friend and I once flew in for a single day just to eat here! Today's visit proved exactly why they are so consistent. They prioritize intentional quality over mindless quantity. I love their unique approach of serving dishes in individual mini baskets and plates. It completely elevates the experience, making it feel like a curated tasting menu rather than a standard buffet. The mini bone marrows are an absolute standout, and one of the reasons I am a repeat customer. Because of the perfectly portioned sizes, they never taste overly greasy. I admittedly ate quite a few! I typically do not care for buffet desserts, but I enjoyed the chocolate covered strawberries (stems attached), mini creme brûlée & fruity pebbles rice crispy treats coated w vanilla (reminded me of the old Milk macarons from LA). I was lucky enough to be seated in Sahli's section today. She was an absolute rockstar! She took incredible care of everyone in her section with genuine attentiveness and deserves serious recognition from management for her hard work. They keep the tables clean, and you don't feel crammed inside. The layout is simple and you won't feel lost. I waited a little over an hour. However, since it was a holiday weekend, this was entirely expected and didn't take away from the experience at all. I will absolutely be back, just as I always am!

    The food is good I would say somewhere between a 6/7 out of 10, they have a great variety and a nice inviting atmosphere inside. In my opinion though I would rather go to other buffets on the strip before I would choose this one again.

    This was our 2nd time eating at Wicked Spoon for 8:30 am brunch on a Tuesday. The first time, I was blown away. This time, it seemed okay but not worth the $110 (excluding the tip). Bring cash if you don't add a gratuity on when you pay before you enter. I avoided the traditional egg and breakfast food and went for the dumplings (pork, shrimp), Chinese BBQ pork buns, Singapore noodles, Wicked Fried Chicken, shrimp tempura, broccoli slaw, Wicked Mac and cheese (spicy - yuck - the only thing I didn't finish), Caesar salad. For dessert, I managed a purple Uzi cone, pistachio and chocolate cake, and tiramisu cake. There was also ice cream and gelato. Julia, our server, was very nice and friendly and got us our coffee and cleared our plates.

    Comp'd buffet meal :)

    Wanted to say "Thank You" to the management at Wicked Spoon for comping my buffet meal this morning! Very much appreciated :)

    Pretty good selection of items. The hot food was cooked well. The desserts look pretty obviously prepackaged though

    Desserts, not good

    What a major disappointment! We have been meaning to try Wicked Spoon for quite some time, and unfortunately today was the day. The line, is long, unless you're gold or higher status so luckily we got seated within five minutes. The buffet itself is a 90 minute buffet, which felt off putting. I felt rushed and worried I'd run out of time, even though no one really seems to monitor too much how long you're sitting there. The front staff and servers were kind. That was nice. The food was horrible. Terrible plating, and absolutely overly salted, inedible food! The Asian corner, terrible. The seafood corner, dry, and minimal. The steak station was the only, ok side. The plating is absolutely illogical, and makes for an odd experience. Too small, can't cut your food, or tasteless. This buffet is OVER HYPED, and for no good reason! Yes it's in Cosmopolitan but it compares nowhere close to Wynn or even Bellagio buffet. Worth a try, see for yourself.. but don't say I didn't warn you when you're a hundred bucks down and wondering what just happened to your wallet and yourself in a "90 minute" time span! Ugh the stress lol Cheers to old school spots that hold quality and value Yelpers xx

    Great Deal, Nightmare Logistics: Is the BOGO Worth a 4-Hour Wait? The $54.99 Locals BOGO Brunch is a generous promo, and clearly, the community took notice. However, while the deal itself is fantastic, the experience of actually getting to a table was a different story. The Wait Experience was Exhausting and Uncertain: We arrived at 10 AM and waited for four hours. The line stretched all the way back to the dog statues with no guarantee of making the 2 PM cutoff. Lack of Communication: It was frustrating that the staff wouldn't officially cut off the line or provide updates on who would actually be seated. This made for a particularly tough experience for families with small children and seniors using walking assistants. Better Systems Needed: Having run this promo before, the restaurant really should have a more organized and virtual waiting system. Staff: To their credit, the staff was helpful and responsive. They handled a constant barrage of questions with professionalism, which was much appreciated given the chaos. The Meal: The food was good and definitely worth the BOGO price, but it is not worth a 4-hour wait on your feet. Final Verdict: Unless you are willing to pay the $25 skip-the-line pass, you might be better off spending your money elsewhere. It's a great deal on paper, but the physical toll of the wait is a high price to pay.

    It was pretty good. If your looking for value, I think this hits the mark. I mean with the crab legs and bone marrow alone, you can do some damage. We liked the variety of desserts. I think it's worth trying atleast once. Pros: * Clean restaurant * Good food; recommend crab legs, smoked salmon, Pistachio Gelato, and lemon tart * Kind servers Cons: * Some of the food was bland or soggy (when it should have been crispy) I think it's a game of chance when it comes to buffets and certain foods. Extra: *90 minute time limit but they didn't make a big deal when we went over by a bit * The line gets long and it takes some time to move. We arrived around 10:30 on a Tuesday and had about a 40 minute wait * You can make a reservation and Gold mgm player cards and above get priority access.

    Ask the Community - Wicked Spoon

    Is MGM still offering BOGO for Platinum and up members?

    I believe so. We were there last month (June) and took advantage of it. You even get to use the VIP line, but it wasn't that busy when we went.

    Hi. I am trying to make online reservation for 2 adults and 2 children. It charges for 4 adults. What should I do? Should I only make a reservation for 2 adults online and add two children at the door on the day?

    Yes. That is what you should do but keep in mind that the "reserved" table is a table for 2. If they are crowded, you may need to wait for a table for 4 to open up. There is a lot of seating and although I've only been here 3x, I have never seen it… 

    How much per person?

    $50

    On the reservation page, it says that the deposit to make the reservation is non-refundable, but it also says all cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance. If I make a reservation and put down my credit card for the deposit, is it refundable?

    You don't get charges any deposit unless you don't show up. If you cancel before rhe time, they don't take any of your money

    How much is it for brunch on a Thursday for locals?

    Approx $75/pp I recommend charging the cost to your room and then talking with a casino host prior to checking out of the hotel. A very large majority of time they will comp all meals and merch. The only thing they will not comp are tips! I hope… 

    Do I need reservations?

    Yes! It gets busy

    What time does the buffet open for dinner?

    They are not open for Dinner. They only serve breakfast and brunch.

    What time they serve the crab legs everyday?

    When I went two weeks ago, they put the legs out promptly at 10

    Crab legs everyday or just weekends?

    Crab legs are everyday day. Not just weekends.

    Do Marriott Platinum members get to jump in the VIP line? Edit: Two different answers so far 🤷‍♂️…

    No, Marriott status for the expedited line is for Ambassadors.

    Crab legs on Saturday/Sunday? What time does they start bringing them out?

    around 10a

    Is there crabs on friday?

    Yes

    Do they have high chairs?

    Yes. You can request for a high chair.

    Is there a time limit on how long you can be there?

    90 minutes, but I think they don't really enforce it

    I want to make reservation for 8 people but 2 of them are children under 5 and one is 6 years old. Do I need to make prepayment of 8 adults for the reservation then looking for refund for the kids upon arrival?

    This is a question I had too and saw this review from someone recently: I would recommend making a reservation but keep in mind that when you reserve through Open Table you cannot specify if it's for adults or kids so I was charged the adult price… 

    What time are crab legs served?

    Hi! Crab legs come out at 10a Mon-Fri and are out by 8am on Saturday & Sunday!

    Now that Identity is no longer active, is there still a priority access line for certain statuses and mgm credit card holders?

    We went over the weekend and they let us know that certain levels of Marriott Bon Voyage and MGM rewards status can get access to the priority line free, everyone else is $25. We went around 9a on a Saturday in August, there was no line though by… 

    Two kids with 4 adults on a weekday brunch, kids age 13 and 11: are kids charged as adults? We were charged $50 for 6 adults. Was this correct charge?

    According to my research the charge should be 5 adults one child, now if the 11 year old appears to look older you would need to show proof

    Is there weekend reservations? I can select all days EXCEPT weekend time slots for brunch.

    Yes, there are weekend reservations. It's probably just booked. Highly recommend that you book in advance ASAP and keep checking the website.

    Is there free parking anywhere nearby?

    There's free parking for an or two nearby at Crystals and other resorts depending on the day. If you have pearl status or above with MGM rewards it's also free (at MGM resorts)

I'm not sure if you automatically get priority seating when making a reservation, but it was an extra $5pp. We didn't mind because we were sat right in front of the buffet. Service was good.

I mainly stuck to the seafood boil (3 plates of) because that's what I was craving. Meat carving station had ribs, two types of beef roasts (one was wagyu but tasted plain IMO) with a bunch of sauce options. Hubby really liked the ribs (he had seconds). There was a small soup and salad station, charcuterie station, street taco + Hispanic station, Asian, cold seafood and the largest station was the dessert. I tried a few of the desserts and really enjoyed the churro (wish it was crisper though), creme brule, and some chocolate raspberry mousse cake. I would definitely go back for the seafood boil, but only if my parents had another comp. I wouldn't pay monies out of pocket to eat there. Hubby agrees that we prefer this buffet over bachannal.

    I don't even know where to begin. I ended up here because someone read a quick google review and…read morerecommended this place. Shame on me for not checking yelp to confirm. I've been to some horrible places, but this one has me feeling nauseous before I even left the place. I wanted to race back to my hotel and drink a gallon of water in the hopes it would dilute the disgusting mess in my tummy. Thankfully, after expressing my urge to purge to my wife, she suggested a piece of watermelon to cleanse my pallet. So clutch, because sure enough, I started belching on the drive back and thankfully that watermelon saved me. First off, don't believe the pictures online, believe the pictures posted in the reviews. The lobster tray consisted of parts I could not identify at all. Almost like the scraps the good buffets would toss out. The rest of the items here were typical of an extremely inexpensive buffet. Nothing I tried tasted good, with the exception of the coconut shrimp. Everything that should have been hot was cold to lukewarm at best. It was all pretty nasty. The two times I attempted to find good food, I had to cycle through a couple dirty plates to find a clean one. In the end, I felt so disgusting sitting there, I considered going into the bathroom and forcing myself to vomit. I'm completely disappointed with myself because this is only the second buffet I've been to in the last decade. I should have known better. I had to postpone my evening plans tonight because I'm certain I'm going to either purge up and out, or have a strong case of the booty flu. All of the above mentioned details were extremely painful, but the stab to the heart was the $102 tab for two people. This was basically a robbery. Unless you're accustomed to eating garbage, which I highly doubt you would at that price, avoid this place. Side note, the men's restroom wasn't too bad. Aside from the bucket of used toilet paper on display near the toilet, it was still ok to use.

    I'd been thinking about this meal since my first pan roast in June…read more I arrived at the Palace Station Casino on Saturday. We got in the Oyster Bar Line at 11:34AM. Reading previous reviews, I saw some people stating that they waited two hours so I was mentally preparing. It seemed as though there were about 15 people in front of us in line so I was hoping it would go fast. We ended up getting seated at 12:59pm. So it was about an hour and a half for us. Victoria was our server and she was on top of it! Immediately when we sat down, she handed us two sourdough bread rolls, some butter, and the menus. She asked us what we wanted to drink and my partner ordered a draft beer, whereas I just had my water from my water bottle. She then asked us if we needed some time to look at the menu or if we were ready and after an hour and a half wait, we were well prepared with what we wanted to order. We ordered a dozen of the gulf oysters, and two pan roasts. One pan roast was the combo (level 2) and the other was the palace pan roast (level 3). When both pan roasts came out they were HOT, but that was not stopping us from shoving every bite of deliciousness into our mouths. Having had the palace pan roast in the past, and now trying the combo pan roast, I really did enjoy the combo better because I'm more of a seafood person. My partner had the palace pan roast for the first time and he instantly understood why I was raving about it for months. There's just something about the tomatoey, creamy, bisque like consistency mixed with some white rice that I just can't describe other than perfect. This is what you dream about on a cold fall day. I've personally always enjoyed the level 2 spice level, because I don't find it to be spicy or painful at all, but the man in front of us in line said he prefers 5. I like that you're able to customize it because everyone has a different spice tolerance and what everyone finds enjoyable is subjective per person. My partner and I ended up ordering an extra side of rice when it became apparent that the one side each would not be enough for us. He loves his rice, and I only take nibbles, so he usually eats mine. However, for this meal, I was not sharing my rice, so he had to order another side. Overall- highly recommend. The food is well worth the wait. After being in line for an hour and a half it's hard to be grumpy when the service is so efficient & friendly and the food taste this good.

    I absolutely loved the Pan Roast Signature Plate! I ordered Level 6, and every bite was packed with…read moreamazing flavor--you just can't stop enjoying it! The spice level was perfect for me. Level 6 has a nice kick while still allowing you to fully enjoy all the flavors. Level 10 is the spiciest option if you're looking for more heat. The unlimited white rice and sourdough bread were the perfect additions to the dish. Everything was delicious and satisfying. Tip: Make sure you arrive with enough time, as there can sometimes be a wait to be seated. It's definitely worth the wait!

She was incredibly efficient, attentive, kind, and genuinely made us feel so welcomed. I had requested something and asked if it could be brought out before my food got cold, and Arlette literally went above and beyond, she had the cooks grill it quickly so I could enjoy everything while it was still hot. That level of care and attention is something you don't experience everywhere. The food was absolutely delicious, but honestly, Arlette made it taste even better. The way she treated us, her warmth, and the effort she put into making sure we had a great experience made our meal that much more special. Arlette is truly an asset to this restaurant. She deserves to be recognized for her exceptional service and genuine hospitality. Thank you, Arlette, for making our experience so memorable!

    After watching the magnificent opening performance of "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" at The Smith…read moreCenter, Diane and I drove to The Palazzo for another highly anticipated post-play dinner here. This time I was determined not to over-order like I have in the past. I began with something I had never eaten before--General Tso's Cauliflower--just to try it. This starter was well made, but I didn't like it. The spicy Soy Garlic Sauce that coated and blackened the white Cauliflower overpowered the more subtle taste of the vegetable. So, while eating this app I missed the traditional pot-cooked steamed variety of Cauliflower that I commonly slather with butter. Sometimes making it simple and unadorned is better than fancifying a dish. Then, besides again downing a whole loaf of Cracked Sourdough Bread with butter, I enjoyed Chicken Lettuce Wraps as my entree, while Diane had Cafe Beef Wellington, which was initially served without puff pastry. This was rectified, and then she very much liked her choice of main, along with included Mashed Potatoes and Madeira Wine Sauce. The chunks of chicken to be inserted in the lettuce cups were moist, and the lettuce was fresh and green. Accompanying Asian Sauce and Mustard Sauce contributed to a fine meal. I filled six lettuce cups, ate four of them, and took two of them home for a welcome lunch. Service by Shalesa P. was slow on initially receiving requested butter, but very good from then on. And table seating in an inner room was quite comfortable.

So that's what happened to us when we were supposed to try a popular Japanese BBQ spot nearby, but with a two hour wait, it would not work out for us. So, we fell in to this AYCE Hot Pot place which turned out to be an excellent surprise. Staff here from the host to the ones that take your orders and especially the food runners are very much on top of their game. Anything ordered from the kitchen came out within minutes. You are never without any meats to cook or sushi to eat. The self serve vegetable bar, sauce bar, and other accompaniments are up to you. Such a large variety of options. The hotpot burner is so fast, it reaches a boil quickly and you're on to preparing your creation of soup with noodles, seafood, vegetables, and meats that it's endless, or all you can handle. Definitely worth it and it was good we discovered it.

You get all the hotpot options you'd want, but the bonus is their sushi is genuinely good too, not just an afterthought. We always leave stuffed to the point of needing a nap. Pro tip: they're right next to Sunright Tea Studio, so if you've somehow got room left after hotpot, it's the perfect dessert/drink follow-up. Perfect one-two punch for a Vegas food night. Highly recommend if you're looking for solid hotpot without breaking the bank!
