3.5 stars. We had our Easter brunch here. Sure, it is pricey, but if you have the stomach capacity to go with it you might be very satisfied. The buffet items are good. There is a lot of variety, ranging from sushi and salad to freshly cooked soup noodles and sliced beef. I especially appreciated the noodles because it's not often to find those in an American bistro (Mandarin Oriental would have been a good bet tho!), but it is not really price efficient, I suppose. There was also a dazzling array of Easter desserts, and it'd be impossible to leave hungry after trying everything at the buffet. We also had to choose a main dish, which is a bit ridiculous because that is a lot of extra food. I picked the steamed fish dish, hoping that it will be lighter than the other offerings, but it was disappointing -- the fish was steamed for too long and the texture became rubbery. If anything, Mandarin Oriental should have done this dish right -- it's a Cantonese staple and showcases the chef's skillz. The mister's waffle was a better choice - it came with green tea whipped cream and passionfruit preserves, and tasted fantastic. Overall there are some 4-star moments, and some 3-star. I really wanted to like this place, but the price-to-quality ratio is not quite there. I will likely visit again for their dinner menu just to try it out. read more

Absolutely awesome. From the food to the service. They and us feel as if we were home. Absolutely wonderful

Hands down, one of the best meals I've had in Vegas. MOzen is exceptional. Execution of every dish was excellent. I can't wait to go back! Please see my pics to see what I had. It's fairly self explanatory. I highly recommend this restaurant for client lunches. I will be back. read more

Located in the Waldorf Astoria, this place is so convenient ! My boyfriend and I both woke up craving sushi and went downstairs to get Chirashi bowls. We also got the soft shell crab roll which was amazing. The Chirashi bowls were stuffed and the fish was satisfactory. It's chefs choice - we both got tuna, salmon, yellowtail, unagi, tamago, and salmon roe (unexpectedly we got fish cake and korean radish?) read more

MOzen Bistro is located on the third floor of the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, and as much as I love staying at this hotel, I am always looking forward to having breakfast at MOzen. What's not to love, there's the opulent service, the great menu, and the elegant view of the Veer Towers and Crystals through the floor to ceiling windows. During our last few visits, our family ordered: -Wellness -Wonton Noodle Soup -Bento Box -Egg Benedict with Lump Crab -Over-easy Fried Egg Southwestern Quinoa Salad Their Wonton Noodle Soup is better here than it is at any other of the Mandarin Oriental properties I've stayed at...lots of vegetables with a beautiful presentation. I also loved the Egg Benedic with Lump Crab as well...you can almost taste the ocean with this dish. Ken has been our server several of the times we dined here. He is very engaging with his intelligent and warm conversation. Like any other fine restaurant, they take their time to engage with you through service and the quality of the meal. The only thing I don't care too much for is their Sushi bar. You are in a city of amazing meals, especially Sushi...compared to what you have to pay, the variety of fish is a little underwhelming. So I pass on the Sushi, and just stick to their vibrant offerings from the menu. But still, I love coming here for all that they do so well...plus it doesn't hurt to look out at the beautiful architecture of city center. - 2017 Review #37 - read more

We came here for lunch for Restaurant Week (lunch starts at 12pm and it was completely empty). Bento Box was only $30 and came with a variety of "samples" of some of Mozen's most popular dishes. It was a great deal for $30, so beautifully presented, but the food was mediocre. I think I came in with too much of a strong expectation. The Coconut Tapioca dessert was my favorite and I don't even like coconut! You get a total of 6 different items in the bento box, but nothing really went well together. Kind of having a mini buffet in a lunch box?  Off the menu my partner ordered the Flat Iron Steak and only when we got it, we realized they never asked us what temperature we wanted the steak.  So it was a bit well overcooked for our preference. I still think it's worth trying and going to! They donate $5 from the portion of your meal to Three Squares. Plus if you never went here and always wanted to, this would be a great way to sample their dishes! One more thing, they offer Veer Residence discount! ;) read more

We came here for a late dinner after checking into room and it happened to be Restaurant Week at MOzen. $40 a person and the 3 course meal was amazing. Presentation superb, great flavors, and service excellent. Got a table right next to the window to enjoy the view. 5 stars all the way. MO gives you large portions so you won't be leaving hungry! I would have easily paid double he price for this prix fixe meal. read more

The food was excellent and the service was good too. There was a delay in the kitchen but the staff made up for it appropriately. I had the ribeye and my companion had the halibut. Both dishes were perfectly cooked. The valentine special desert, a variation on red velvet was amazing. We would go again. read more

Came here for the weekend brunch right before our flight and informed our waiter that had an hour to grab a meal. We ordered right away - a spinach tofu curry, bulgogi and tuna roll. After nearly thirty mins and complaining, we got the sushi roll and at that point waiter gave me a bull shit excuse on how because my dish is vegan, it would take longer and how the tofu is frozen and all kinds of excuses. About ten mins later we got our food and it looked like it was rushed and the waiter forgot to put in my order. The spinach curry was watery with purée of spinach and lacked flavor. Tasted like water with spinach and tofu was steamed and jasmine rice was still undercooked and raw. When I informed the waiter that I wasn't happy with the dish, he took my plate and screams in the middle of the restaurant to the chef - "hey chef, she hated the dish." Juan, the waiter was just incompetent and rude and I'm so surprised by the service received especially being inside of such an amazing hotel and a hotel that also houses twist run by a Michelin star chef. What a waste of brunch and had to leave hungry to catch my flight. read more

We did Sunday brunch and it is not worth the money IMO, especially when considering the amazing brunch offerings at other spots. This is your standard hotel breakfast. It was good, don't get me wrong, but just not worth it, and I'm a diamond read more

I enjoy this quaint hidden gem. This restaurant is in the Waldorf Astoria, which use to be the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The restaurant wasn't that busy at all, but again it was on a Wednesday. The Executive Chefs, I believe are from India and the Sushi Chef are from Japan. Great combination! We just happen to be there on the last day of the Chinese New Years menu. We started with a fungus soup, which doesn't taste anything like mushroom, but more of a cabbage taste. The soup was delicious! I ordered the waygu potstickers, a cold lobster dish with an edible fried wonton cup. We also had the Waldorf Salad , shrimp pad thai and some fresh sushi (hamachi and yellowtail) and California rolls that are made with fresh crabs. The dessert, is a Creme Brulee which is covered with berries and is small and light. A must try hidden gem of international food all in one restaurant. read more

Simplicity at its finest. Walking in I thought to myself where is everything? No art? No decor? It seemed so bare. Everything is the same color and blends into each other. Once the experience began and the service was extraordinary with multiple staff members making us feel like the most important people in the room. After a long day at work and traffic on the strip this really made us all just feel so damn good. It was also genuine and not pretentious. It felt as if they appreciated us choosing to dine with them and I have to point this out because it really made the entire experience that much more special. So the food was perfection. Not only did it look appealing to the eye but it tasted just as good as it looked! Every little detail was thoughtful and I couldn't believe that everything I tried I wanted more of. I began with the sushi combo which was presented like art. I also had the tandoori chicken which was perfect (climax moment). And all of this was followed by a very simple mango tapioca which once again hit the spot (back to back climaxes). I don't even love mangos and I would have licked this up if it wasn't completely inappropriate! Sweet, tart, creamy and crispy little nuggets for an amazing texture experience! I also tasted my friends Beijing duck salad that was so simple but packed with flavor and the skirt steak which was cooked to tender perfection with some of the juiciest & sweetest tomatoes. Everything was so flavorful yet so simple with beautiful presentations. I was also so relaxed and just enjoying myself. My brain went back to why this place was bare. Its designed to put people at ease and you forget about the chaos in your everyday life. Simple, sleek and elegant is what this place is all about. I loved it. I need to make an effort to simplify my world and have less shit in it just like this design. read more

Highly recommend the Sunday Brunch here! Must thank the manager, Patrick, for telling me about their brunch when I called to express my disappointment with an incident that occurred when I tried to make a reservation for breakfast at Mozen Bistro. I became a fan of their brunch after my first visit! The dining experience was phenomenal! 5 stars for service, 5 stars for quality and variety and 4 stars for value (around $60/pp). From the manager to the staff, the service was topnotch and exceptional! The food stations included one for seafood, dim sum/Asian cuisine, cold dishes/cuts, fruit and dessert. As soon as you are seated, you are asked for your beverage of choice - fresh watermelon, carrot or orange juice. After I ordered my morning beverage, I walked over to the fruit station and topped my plate with exotic fruits such as dragon fruit (this was gone pretty fast), pineapple, and rambutan (resembles the lychee). Then, I made my way over to the sashimi, oysters, jumbo shrimp and crab claw station where I sampled a little bit of everything. The yellowtail and salmon sashimi were quite good. I also enjoyed the oysters and jumbo shrimp but not so much the crab claw. Being Asian, I had to check out the dim sum, noodle soups and BBQ chicken & pork at the Asian cuisine station. I asked for sample size portions and they were very accommodating. For my main entree, I had the seared scallops. I forgot to mention to the kitchen to go light on the salt. It was a bit salty for my taste but other than that it was well prepared and a light dish so that I was able to enjoy a few of their many delectable desserts! You must save room for dessert because Mozen offers an array of delicious desserts. The macaroons were among the best I've tasted! It went well with the matcha green tea. Overall, what stood out the most for me was their service. I also enjoyed the zen and elegant decor/ambience, the crowd (spotted a few celebrities during my last two visits) quality and variety here. Complimentary parking at Aria or $20 for valet parking at Mandarin Oriental. read more

Like most other reviews, I came to MOzen for Restaurant Week. The dinner menu was three courses, and thanks to my fellow Yelper dining companions, Neli T and Cathey K, I was able to try all of the dishes. The lunch menu also looked pretty promising, but the dinner-exclusive dessert made this the best choice for me. SALT AND PEPPER CALAMARI: Started with an app off the regular menu, which was lightly breaded and perfectly fried but not particularly salty or peppery. SUSHI COMBO: Porcelain bento-style plate featured five bites of fresh fish for this course. The seaweed salad was creatively served in a hollowed-out lime half, and the tuna with caviar was super fresh. The fried tofu, however, was a bit soggy. THAI BEEF SALAD: Beautiful presentation! Marinated rib eye was very flavorful, dressing was light, portion was fairly large. ROASTED BONE OUT BRANZINO: The fish was perfectly cooked but could have used a touch more seasoning. The sweet Vierge sauce didn't quite work for me but I really liked the fregola and corn pasta with walnuts, grilled haloumi, and mint, which had a lot of textural contrast. MURGH MAKHANI: A course of four Indian dishes served in a wooden bento style box. The chicken curry was a bit sweeter than I prefer, while the lentils were a touch salty. The naan was super fresh, though. LA FRAISE YUZU: Almost too pretty to eat! But we did, and it tasted even better than it looked. A Greek yogurt topped with a summer strawberry sauce and gelato, with yuzu foam and almond streusel. Another dish with fun textures, but this was a nice bit of sweetness without being too sweet, either. The yuzu flavors could have been more pronounced but this was wonderful as is. I'll be keeping MOzen in mind- the incredible dining room views and exclusive location make this a good special occasion spot. The RW lunch menu also looks like a great value, and allows diners to try several dishes bento-style to get a feel for the restaurant's quality and diversity. read more

Bold. In your face. High octane. The flavors of Mozen. Unexpected in the reserved, contemporary elegance of the Mandarin Oriental but oh so good! Note: This updated review is based on multiple visit for dinner service only. The menu is broken into two parts, a build your own bento box (select from regional Asian dishes) or larger portions of mains split between south east Asian dishes or classic western dishes. The bento ($48 for six selections) is the best way to enjoy and sample Mozen. Simply put, it's an exaggerated, fun, foodie tour of Asia. Flavors are very bold and over the top. Do not expect subtle flavors, hints of this, a wafting aroma of that. Surprisingly, it all works especially when combining so many strong classic cuisines of Asia. Some standouts: Hae-Mul Pa-Jeon (Korean pancake filled with shrimp and lump crab); what's not to love. Beef Carpaccio with a mixed mushroom "chutney" drizzled with a soy ginger vinaigrette; sweet beefy goodness explodes against the earthy foil. Steamed grouper topped with cilantro and scallions; moist and delicious. Singapore Chili crab made with a soft shell crab; sweet and spicy. Galouti Kebab (smoked, minced lamb with classic Indian spices and a mint chutney); deep earthy richness with a bright herbaceous finish. Very well chosen wine list. Vegas resort prices. Service is excellent Great concept. Highly recommended. read more

This is on the 3rd floor of Mandarin Oriental. The atmosphere was very peaceful. We went for lunch and it wasn't very busy but the service was great. We shared two cocktails which were very nice and flavorful. The appetizers were delicious. When it came to the main course, I had the caramelized chicken...it really didn't have much taste and needed to have the skin crisped up--it just seemed fatty. My mom had the bulgogi and loved it! I would go back but just skip the chicken! read more

******************** 1574 ******************** This is probably 1 of my favorite lunch spots in Las Vegas. It's such a hidden gem on the 3rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, so no one knows unless you stay here or via words of mouth. I've been to Vegas 6-8 times a year. I always try to fix be a new restaurant to try each time I come. With my parents during the July 4th week, they really enjoyed the ambiance, the view, and food here. Even when you do a search on Yelp, it doesn't show up because the food here is modern culinary tour through Asia with a wide variety of delicious dishes served alongside a selection of American classics. Everything is quite delicious and beautifully presented in all little tiny box or China. Enjoy brunch every weekend featuring specialty items such as our Bento Box Brunch with crispy scallop and masago roll, fried calamari, char siu bao dim sum and choice of entrée or choose from other offerings like green tea waffles, fresh sushi rolls, hickory smoked salmon scramble and much more. As well as the exquisite cuisine, free flowing mimosas are available along with a selection of bloody marys. Weekend Brunch is served every Saturday and Sunday starting at 12 until 2:30pm. Even their brunch, I love how the fruit, potato, and egg would never touch each other :) genius for people with picky eater phobia that don't like their food to be touch ;) . Their bento box is my favorite meal here. Try dessert too, the matcha cake, you would love it, not sweet at all. Good service, a bit out of the way because it's not in the casino hotel type. Reservation is highly recommended. read more

My wife and I were on the fence about doing any restaurant week spots since most of the menus weren't outstanding but I am sure glad we came here! Mozen was one of those place I've had bookmarked forever, mainly for their brunch but $30 for lunch seems very reasonable for such a high rated spot. The service was top notch from the get go. They were very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and even though we almost went a la carte, our waiter urged us to go with the RE menu since "it's the best of what we offer". Who wants to pay more than $15 for Indian curry anyways? :) The Benito box offered a variety of diverse flavors. It was almost like a mini tour of Asia! The box had chicken tandoori in a mahkani sauce, California rolls (with real crab), garlic naan, miso mustard sliced steak and the matcha tiramisu being the perfect ending for it all. My favorite was the salmon crudo tartare. The freshness of the salmon combined with the nice spicy kick it had was fantastic. I tried to buy another can of this as it would've been just perfect being mixed with a bowl of rice but alas... The waiter said he mentioned to the chef that they should offer this combination lunch daily and apparently he scoffed at the idea. Perhaps too many dishes to deal with all the time? It would rival Estiatorio Milos for best lunch on the strip if they did. We also had a terrific view of Citycenter during the meal. I had no idea that many guys wore fluorescent tank tops on a Wednesday afternoon. read more

Spring Restaurant Week 2013 I absolutely adore this place. I wish I had more reasons to visit the Mandarin Oriental just so I can eat here more often. When my girlfriends suggested we try lunch here for Restaurant Week, I was excited. Mozen definitely lived up to all its great reviews! For this week, our lunch was served very elegantly in these bento boxes: Murgh Makhani Garlic Naan Salmon Crudo Miso Mustard New York Angus California Roll Matcha Tiramisu We also ordered ala carte off their regular menu: Wasabi Prawns Thai Green Curry The Salmon Crudo was served like a tartar and it was amazing. It melted in your mouth. My girlfriends ate the steak and said it was deliciously tender. We all devoured the wasabi prawns and green curry. Those were the highlights, but everything was tasty and yummlicious! The service is what you'd expect from a place like Mozen. Our server was very friendly and helpful, even when we took a while selecting our ala carte dishes. The staff came by regularly to refill and pour our green tea. At the end of our meal, they brought out a small complimentary dessert, Raspberry Coulis, which was very nice. I can't wait to try more items on their menu. If you're looking to have a great elegant lunch with amazing Asian-influenced food, plus sit in a nice cafe with a nice view, this is your place. FYI: They also provide a great gluten-free, vegan, and lightfare menu. read more

RW2012 day 1 dinner was just slightly below amazing. there were a few hiccups. amuse bouche - seasoned cashews and a small serving of spicy salmon with microgreens. the cashews were spiced with curry and cumin and maybe some turmeric. they were spicy and delicious. the salmon was spicy and not in the typical "spicy tuna" kind of way. also delicious. course 1 - Green apple & cilantro jelly, sashimi of Hokkaido scallop & garlic salsa. this was my favorite dish of the evening. we were instructed to eat this with the spoon provided which turned out to be the only way to go. the jelly with the scallop and crunchy garlic salsa all mixed together was a culinary delight. it was both delicious and refreshing. course 2 - Pan-fried halibut, flavored rice, curry leaf tempura & salted buttermilk sorbet. unfortunately, the fish was overcooked. but the rest of the dish was delectable...which made it worse that the fish was overcooked. this dish could have been one of the best things i've ever eaten. the flavored rice was the perfect mixture of spices and seasonings. the tempura curry leaf was also a nice touch. the salted buttermilk sorbet was a unique palate cleanser. it was salty, sweet, tart, cool, creamy and crunchy all at the same time. it was a party in a little tagine! course 3 - macha green tea creme brulee with lemon sorbet. amazing green tea flavor, perfectly bruleed top and a refreshingly tart lemon sorbet. a perfect end to an amazing dinner. we also ordered a few small bites to try. salt & pepper calamari - nothing special here but the calamari was very tender and the garlic and five spice salt was a great touch. singapore chili crab - amazing flavors; nice and spicy; a good deal at $10. blackened albacore tuna tataki - the garlic soy reduction and chili aioli were the stars of this dish; complemented the tuna very well; unfortunately we were overcharged for this dish but didn't realize until we got home; $8 dish, charged $18 by mistake. samosa - hellooo spicy!!! not for the faint of tongue! again with the perfect blend of spices and seasonings. for something with no meat inside, it sure had some crazy flavors going on. the mint chutney definitely helped with the spiciness. lastly, the china. i'm a sucker for fine china. i feel that the vessel that the food is served on/in plays a pretty significant role in the presentation of the entire dish. if food is art, then the dish is its canvas. from the small white tagine by front of the house to the beautiful bone china round pasta bowl by narumi (which i can't seem to find anywhere!), all of the dishes were beautifully presented. overall, a great dining experience. as i mentioned, a few hiccups with the fish and the pricing and the runner was a little shy, quiet and seemed nervous so it was difficult to hear him try to describe the dishes he was bringing out. the server was amazing. he was attentive, charming and funny. the food (other than the halibut) was visually stunning and skillfully prepared. the mixture of all of the different spices from all different asian cuisines is beautifully executed. the chefs at mozen bistro do a wonderful job showcasing all of the dynamic flavors of asia. i should mention that they have a special bento box for $48 where you can pick 6 different items from their "journey through asia" tapas menu. it's a great deal that i'm going to have to try next time. i can't wait to dine here again! read more

My 300th review is about my journey through Asia. Eric R. and I have a great new Vegas tradition where any time any of our uncles visit us, they take us to dinner!! I had the great fortune of picking the place this time, and off we went to Mandarin Oriental. The whole reason I came was for the bento dinner, but we all saw so many things we wanted to try that we just ordered many dishes a la carte. I had the cucumber cilantro magarita, which was very refreshing. First, we ordered a little sushi (Cali roll with REAL crab, spicy yellowtail roll, salmon nigiri, and toro nigiri). Toro was super oozily fatty delicious, and the salmon was very fresh. I loved the flavor of the yellowtail even in the roll, and this was the first California roll I actually liked. Then, we sampled beef carpaccio with mushroom, Thai beef salad, chicken rice paper wraps, and chicken lettuce cups. A lot of these items were a bit spicy for Eric R.'s taste but I liked them! Eric R. also got the peking duck bao from the Chinese new year menu, and only gave me a tiny bite but it was deeeelicious! I love scallions mmm! Next round included Thai fish cake (looked scary but tasted good), bulgogi with rice/kimchi/butter lettuce cups (substantial portion!), wasabi prawn, and Singapore chili soft shell crab. Third round: Indian lamb kebob, naan, tandoori chicken, and dosa - served with various chutneys - tomato, coriander. Interestingly, the Indian food which was praised in expert reviews did not excite any of us too much. We we already pretty full when it came out too :) The lamb was sweet and had a strong taste of cardamom, the chicken not too flavorful, the naan was blah. The dosa was pretty good. Lastly, Eric R. and I split mango, strawberry and mascarpone gelatos (the fruit ones were amazing) and his uncle had the lychee mousse with passionfruit sorbet. They gave me all of the chocolate ribbons (yay)! It was a fun journey through Asia with great service and everyone had an open mind. My favorites were the sushi (quality outstanding), the duck I barely sampled, the bulgogi, and the wasabi prawn. The spicy peanut fish sauce with the rice paper wraps was really yummy. read more

It's so deceiving how MoZen bistro is highly listed under Sushi and Asian Fusion on Yelp when the majority of the good reviews are on about their breakfast, brunch, curry, and buffet. Situated to make decisions in a short time frame with a limited data plan on the go, my friend and I went out of our way to Mandarin Oriental at around 2:00pm to try this "Four-star, Japanese, Asian Fusion, Sushi Bar". The mid-day light fare lunch menu was not very appealing and was quite limited to basic sandwiches, soup, and a small selection of overpriced sashimi, nigiri, and sushi rolls. $18 for a California roll with "blue crab", this better be pretty outstanding. Nope, this California Roll was the most poorly made sushi roll I've had to date. The "blue crab" tasted nothing out of the usual, it was bland and unseasoned. No hint of vinegar or seasoning in the sushi rice. Unfortunately, I just don't have anything good to say about this dish. Sorry to say I am 110% sure that the pre-made rolls from supermarkets or fast food stalls would've offered something better tasting for 1/4 of the price. I don't doubt that their regular menu or hot dishes would have provided us a much better experience. My friend and I ordered the soup of the day each which happened to be Chicken Curry with rice bits. At least it was flavored like curry for a much more reasonable price of $12. read more

Came here for my birthday after a horrible experience in Lemongrass. We got here about 11:45, but the restaurant wasn't open for lunch until 12:00. The lovely hostess, Sonia, was making a drink for another customer when we arrived. However, as soon as she was done with the drink, she greeted us and sat us at a nice booth by the window anyway. Later we also saw her carried some bread into the kitchen. This lady is amazing! She is at least doing the job for 3, and still managed to be doing it cheerfully! I do hope she is well compensated. Kenneth, our attentive waiter took our order anyway to make sure our order will be the first one in as soon as the kitchen is ready. He kept us posted of the approximate time needed for our food. The great service here totally erased the unpleasant memories from Lemongrass. Best first decision I made today! Thank you so much, Zen Kitchen!!! read more

Excellent Restaurant Week lunch! I initially thought it was a multi-course meal, but it is in fact a BENTO BOX style setup. Beautiful presentation...seriously, almost like a work of art! It wowed me when they dropped it in front of me to eat :P Lots of goodies inside...let's go! Started with the Naan with Truffle Butter. You could definitely smell the truffle once it hit the table, but the taste was fairly mild. Still good though! It was callin my name! Tandoori Salmon was next. So much flavor in each bite...this is how Indian curry should be! Loved every bite! Out of all the plates, THIS was my favorite by far! Seriously, if I come back here again, I will probably order a full size of this bad boy! Miso Mustard Angus Striploin, tender and flavorful beef. The miso sauce was great...I soaked it all up with the meats! Yum Laab Gai : Sweet and Sour Ground Chicken Salad with Roasted Rice, Dried Chili Powder and Mint. This was very light and refreshing with the mint and lettuce wrap. Tasty :) Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll. Probably the only dish I didn't love, but it was still good. And to finish, Ginger Panna Cotta. This was good, with a nice hint of ginger. Looks like it is a little spendy here, but if you are droppin the coin, be ready to receive great food, excellent plating, and friendly service :) Make sure you drop off some Tandoori for me on the way out!

Mozen Bistro allows the diner's palate to travel around Asia experiencing the flavors of Thailand, Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea and India. You can create your own bento box for bite-sized experiences. OR you can order slightly larger portions (like tapas) for a greater experience. For those less willing to explore, the flip side of menu offers more traditional fare, like American and Italian food. I loved that the chefs are Indian, Asian and other parts of the world. I believe it adds to the sexy atmosphere and authentic flavors. Before or after dinner, you MUST also have a cocktail at the hotel's Mandarin bar. It'll put the olive in your martini so-to-speak! read more

Excellent service and fantastic food. This restaurant is in the Waldorf Astoria on the 3rd floor. The atmosphere is comfortable, music not too loud, and nice muted colours. Very nice for a relaxing dinner. They also have a separate Vegetarian/Vegan menu. Service was attentive, friendly, and consistent. We ordered form the Vegan menu and were not disappointed. Veggie sushi, cashew pad thai, lentil curry. All delicious and freshly prepared. Presented well with all the appropriate condiments with highly appealing plating. Our guests ordered butter chicken, and various sushi. They said it was some of the best that they have had. I highly recommend this place, even if you are not staying at the Waldorf (former Mandarin Oriental). read more

Flawless food, amazing decor, and unparalleled service; a five star is the ONLY rating adequate for this restaurant. I made a reservation for Restaurant Week during lunch on a Sunday, and I was initially declined the RW menu upon seating because it was their buffet that morning. The concierge who made the reservation for us though didn't tell us this. So the hostess went to ask her manager if was possible to prepare the meal just for us. This was their mistake, so I was hoping they'd own up and not make us do the buffet. I whispered to my friends, "This is the Mandarin.. they can do ANYTHING." And as characteristic of the Mandarin Oriental, they met and exceeded my expectations. The food, the ambiance with the soft, live string jazz, the flawless service.. everything was so amazing that I came back for dinner a couple days later. read more

A good friend from Seoul was in town at the same time so we met for brunch. I heard such great things about the buffet being delicious and extremely high end so I was so excited! We made reservations and showed up right on time, only to be told that they are sorry they are running behind and it would be 20 to 30 minutes. Okay no big deal we all went up to the room and returned 20 minutes later, not ready........we got seated about 10 minutes later and at that point it was too late for the buffet as they were stopping service. I am not someone who spends all day at a buffet I only make 1 trip and maybe a second small trip, if we had been seated at our reservation time I would have had more than enough time without inconveniencing the staff (which I am aware and would never want to do) WHAT IS THE POINT OF RESERVATIONS? So we ordered off the menu, Bento box which I was told was very good it seemed fresh and plentiful, I tried the spinach and mushroom miso soup and it was good! Freestyle eggs were prepared perfect, tomato, potato hash and breakfast meat (limp bacon slices) one person decided to be healthy and get cereal and Greek yogurt. The breakfast credit we supposedly had surprisingly ended up on the bill SEE MY HOTEL review. Just over this visit. read more

I love eating traditional sushi at Mozen! Fabulous service and excellent quality. Chef Fei is also very accommodating to likes and dislikes. I believe that the way a fish is cut for sushi or sashimi changes the dining experience. I am very happy with Chef Fei and his precision on maintaining consistency and remembering individuals previous orders. Mirugai, uni, toro, amaebi, ikura, and sake are a few of my favorites! As well as the Jessi roll which isn't on the menu but full of Asian pickled vegetables, very refreshing, a bit salty but if you like ume, shiso, gobo, and cucumber... Try it!! :) I'd give Mozen 5 stars except I am not fond of the rest of the main menu. I feel it's all over the place. Bento Box menu for dinner is really great and cost friendly. And the breakfast here is phenomenal and offers a great city view! read more

Zen Kitchen - Amaebi w/salmon roe - Sushi Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

MOzen is located in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the second that you pull up into the valet area, you are in zen mode. Because there is no casino at this hotel, it is so peaceful and serene. When we pulled up into the secluded driveway, there was only a couple other cars. So refreshing not to be in a sea of honking horns and cabs. When we walked in, the music in the lobby was so soft and soothing, as was the music in the elevators that took us to the 3rd floor where the restaurant is located. Again, so refreshing not to hear the slot machines nor walk through a haze of cigarette smoke. The waitress explained the Restaurant Week menu in the most zen-like, soothing voice. The service was fantastic from everyone. Seated by the window with a view of the City Center, I almost forgot that we were in Las Vegas. We were there to experience the Restaurant Week lunch menu ($30.13) so that is what we ordered, although the other menu items did look enticing. The bento box was filled with: - Murgh Makhani Tandoori- a roasted marinated chicken in a creamy indian curry. This was my favorite dish and even better with the Garlic Naan that accompanies it. - Salmon Crudo Tartare with marinated hearts of palm. This was my second favorite dish. - Miso mustard NY certified angus with miso mustard sauce. The beef was a bit chewy, but the sauce was very flavorful. - California roll with lump crab, avocado, and cucumber. This was just "meh". - Matcha Tiramisu- mascarpone green tea mousse, raspberry coulis. This was so delicious, but the size of 2 dice. :( At the time, I didn't think this bento box was enough food. I was almost tempted to order some sushi from the sushi bar. However, I am glad I didn't because on the drive home and the food settled, I realized how stuffed I was. I really enjoyed the offerings and am now intrigued to return. They also have a breakfast menu in addition to the lunch and dinner served. If you are looking to get away from the city without leaving- definitely give MOzen a try to experience that tranquil zen state. read more

3 stars for food, 5 stars for ambiance. MOzen, as in you need MORE zen in your life? (My friend's joke, not mine lol) Pretty sure MO stands for Mandarin Oriental, the hotel in which this restaurant is located. Both the hotel and restaurant is very elegant, but very quiet. There were only a few other people around, but it's definitely a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Vegas. Glancing over the menu, everything seemed really pricey. We thought maybe the portions were large enough to share family style? Nope, turns out they're individual portions. It's definitely Asian Fusion, with a mix of Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Indian cuisines. Glancing over the menu, nothing sounded exciting to me until I reached the last page with the bento boxes. $48 for the Bento Delight. Pretty steep, but yolo, we're on vacation in Vegas. Go big or go home, right? My other friends got the Bento Expressions ($52), duck curry, and special vegetable curry. Our meals started with 4 mini French baguettes (??). How unusual for an Asian restaurant! It came with olive oil and tomato pesto. The dipping sauce was heavenly! Can I just get a jar of this to-go? My bento came with 6 different offerings: Tom Yum Soup, Thai Green Prawn Curry, Chicken Tikki, Korean Beef Kalbi with rice, Char Siu Baos (2 pieces), and Nigiri (tuna, salmon, and yellowtail). I thought it would be a better deal to try a little of everything. Presentation was super cute. The prawns in the green curry were my favorite; came with 6 large pieces! The curry itself would have been better with rice. There was hardly any rice served with my beef kalbi. Both the beef and chicken tikki were reallyyy dry. The char siu bao was probably one of the worst I ever had. Also dry, too much bread and too little filling. The nigiri was plain. The quality of the fish was average. I've seen better quality at AYCE places! The soup is good, but not enough to justify paying $48 for everything. My friends' dishes looked more appetizing, so maybe I'll come back to try those. read more

Loved the Sunday brunch here (12-230 pm) which is on the third floor of Mandarin Oriental. Yes it is a bit pricier than the other brunch places on the strip, but the overall experience is much more glamorous. I believe the price was $46 for the brunch, and $58 if you got an entree too, but you don't have to and none of us did and were plenty stuffed. First off the ambience is serene with hints of elegance. A live musician plays orchestral music. It's not as large or crowded as the bigger buffets so you don't deal with mobs around you. At first glance the food counters seemed small and pale in comparison to the larger buffets, but the variety is actually quite substantial and everything is clearly of higher quality and more delicately plated. The salads were unique and had great flavor combinations. I loved the mango shrimp salad, and the caprese salad was also very good. The seafood here is so fresh and faaar superior to those at the larger buffets. We ate plates and plates of the lobster, crab, and shrimp. The sushi was alright, but definitely also ask the chef to prepare you some fresh sashimi! The sashimi cuts were amazing. Their dessert station was enticing and beckoning me the entire meal. I had like 6 of them and loved the coffee creme brulee. The only complaint I have is that drink situation was confusing. Not all drinks are included. For example, OJ is included, but fresh OJ is extra. Employees had different answers to if the coffee was included. read more

This review is for a brunch experience only. I came with a group for some good old-fashioned brunch fare, champagne and good conversation amongst friends who don't get to see each other very often. All in all, the food was good (though, how hard is it to mess up poached eggs, really - mmmm, poached eggs - bacon and sausage) but really pricey. Everything was a la carte to the point where I was expecting condiments and ice to be an extra charge. But, whatever, it's Vegas so it is what it is. Service was attentive, albeit a bit stiff and overly formal. The bigger issue, however, was that it was so quiet in the restaurant that I felt like we were eating in a library... and for a group of talkers, that's mighty uncomfortable for everyone. read more
