Brunch at the Wicked Spoon Buffet Cosmopolitan Las Vegas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- It's been over two years since I've been back at the Wicked Spoon Buffet and it looks like they've switched to a singular brunch menu all day. They haven't had a dinner menu since re-opening after the pandemic, but they did have separate breakfast and lunch buffets. Now it's just a singular service throughout their open hours. I'm curious to check it out and see how it's changed.
Thanks for watching!

What's your favorite buffet in Las Vegas?
The Buffet at the Wynn always impresses me. My favorite, relatively cheap, off strip is the Market Place Buffet at Rampart Casino.
Not exactly a buffet, but it is UNLIMITED small plates table service for the great price of $45: Border Grill’s weekend brunch. Wonderful, fresh, creative Mexican food. A terrific value with a nice variety of dishes.
South point and wynn
Hwaro. Can't go wrong with KBB
Palms and Wynn buffet
I never want Shin to finish reviewing every restaurant on the Strip. He is an absolute treasure and a joy to watch.
Agreed!
He is! ❤
Lol going at a restaurant a week it'll still take me 8-9 years so I'll be around for a while still. Thanks for watching!
I agree 😊
His videos are great and informative but I wouldn't say he's a "treasure". He has to do more to earn that title lol
It was a chuckle when you called the marshmallows mushrooms lol love ya buddy !
I never heard of mushrooms as a topping for ice cream? 😜😜🤔
Lmao yes! Brain fart moment
Personally, I always thought the Bachannal was better than the Wicked Spoon. Thank you Shin, for another fantastic video. Your format is perfect. Please don’t ever change it..
I also prefer the Bacchanal over the Wicked Spoon but it's double the price. So sometimes Wicked Spoon just hits right. Thanks for watching!
Have you been recently? I was going to book bachannal but noticed tons of bad reviews! Thoughts?
@Caitlinmcfadden22 it's been a few years since I've eaten at their dinner service. Maybe I'll do that one of these days
VWS; Happy to report that no crimes were found here at the Wicked Spoon. What a beautiful buffet at such a reasonable price. Crab legs, Shrimp, Tuna crudo, lamb with chimi sauce and everything in between. What an enjoyable feast. Thanks for the visual today. See you Tuesday
Wow no crimes on a Saturday? We're making progress! I think next week will likely bring us back though lol. Thanks for watching. See you on Tuesday!
Good price point. Decor was refreshing and bright. You never disappoint. Stay hungry for us!
Yes! All around good buffet here at the Wicked Spoon. I like it a lot there. Thanks for watching!
My favorite buffet. Priced right, excellent options and staff is on point always. The crab legs, beef carpaccio and bone marrow are my weakness there lol. I giggled when you called the marshmallows mushrooms 🍄 🤭.
I agree with all of your reasonings. It really is the best bang for the buck in my mind. And yes total brain fart moment lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this experience, I felt the buffet spread was unimpressive😮
It's a mid price buffet so you definitely don't get the wow factor like at the Bacchanal or the Wynn buffets. But it's a good choice at its price point. Thanks for watching!
LOVE YOUR VIDS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! YOUR SUBS SHOULD REALLY BE AT OVER 200K AND NOT 19K.
Thank you lol. At least 20k is not too far away. Thanks for watching!
The funny part is, compared to the way Shin usually orders everything off the menu at normal restaurants, a visit to a buffet costs way less than in most of his videos. Before COVID, Wicked Spoon used to be in my Top 5 Vegas buffets. But I have definitely noticed that the quality had already been sliding over the past decade. It is still in my Top 5, but that has a lot to do with many buffets simply never coming back after COVID. The last time I was at Wicked Spoon was Summer 2022. The experience was so underwhelming that I haven't had any desire to return since. Don't get my wrong. The quality of Wynn Buffet and Bacchanal Buffet have also been sliding, but they are still better than Wicked Spoon. I really miss Studio B Buffet at M Resort, though.
Yeah I agree with a lot of what you're saying. Thanks for watching!
Great looking brunch spread...enjoy buddy 👍...another great video...have a great Easter 🐣, weekend til Tues 😉🤗😘❤
Glad you enjoyed. Happy Easter to you as well Jade! See you on Tuesday!
Yum! I also a couple of recipe ideas from seeing thes video. Thanks.
Glad you got some brain fuel here! Thanks for watching!
My favourite Las Vegas buffet
Yes! It's a good one. Thanks for watching!
I loved the wicked spoon back in March last year . Going to Vegas weekend September 1 hope to run into ya Shin . Thanks for another job well done !
I should be around! Remind me closer to then and let's see if we can connect! Thanks for watching Kyle!
Excellent review, Mr. Shin! Very comprehensive.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Wow! The amount of granite, onyx and blown glass is stunning! There was such an array of food choices and the ambience was very inviting.
I would love to eat some of the uncommon food items as that would be a good chance to try them. The price seemed to be a great deal and it seemed like you enjoyed most of it. Thanks for bringing us this video Shin.
Beautiful space and good food here for sure. I'm still thinking about those curried mussels. Thanks for watching!
How come there's no dinner buffet there? That's disappointing. In any case, thanks for a great video.
Yeah that's a good question. I guess the Cosmo wants to funnel people to their more pricey restaurants during dinner service when people tend to spend more would be my guess. Thanks for watching GL!
oHHH that makes sense then. Okay, thank you!@@VegaswithShin
Shin, I was hoping that you would wake up on Easter morning with 20.0k Easter eggs (subscribers). No matter what, you don't have to look behind flowers and trees to find them! Enjoyed the buffet!
Lol I appreciate that. I still can't believe 20k is on the way. I thought 10k would be impossible so 20 feels a bit surreal. Just keep swimming. Thanks for watching!
Another masterful review!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Funny thing about buffets. I remember the hits and misses, but forget the rest of the meal.
So true. I guess that's kind of like life. Thanks for watching!
EVERYTHING LOOKS REALLY GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE JOB SHIN👍🏼😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😋😋😋
Appreciate it Tracey! A good one here for sure. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin. It was pleasure meeting you this day. It was very exciting for my wife and I to see you while waiting in line to be seated. I'm the guy at 0:24 with the camo shirt and grey beard waiting in line. We love and watch all of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for pointing yourself out, so cool a fan of Shin was there!
Oh!! Thank you for saying hello! I really appreciated that. Thanks for watching and supporting me and the channel!
Another excellent job Shin. Thanx for sharing
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Yay!! Happy Saturday Shin 😊
Happy Sunday to you! Lol. Thanks for watching!
Man I've only had this once. Wanted to come back. Wish reservations didn't have minimum limit, but I guess it makes sense.
There is no line, you will be fine
Time to try it again! Lines aren't too bad right now. Thanks for watching!
That looked like a pretty wicked salmon! Another great video, thank you Shin😊
The salmon was very good. Not just for a buffet too. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching Diane!
Great Review Shin ! You do such a fantastic job! Thank you 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
The greens are gai lan, Chinese broccoli. Thanks again for another review.
And yes! Gai Lan! Thanks for watching!
Right on brotha. I like how on every buffet video you do, you take your time and show everything that they offer instead of just what you put on your plate. Love that part, bro. It really gives you an idea of what they are offering in case we are interested in going. Thanks for doing that. Keep it up bro. Another good vlog. Salud 🍻
I'm glad you enjoy the video style. I'll keep 'em coming! Thanks for watching!
Happy Easter Shin! All the food looked alright I'm like you, I'd have to try it to see if I like it. Those mussels looked yummy. Mmmmmmm. Lol
Happy Easter to you as well Lisa! Solid food at the Wicked Spoon for half the price of the Bacchanal so it fits very neatly into its zone. Worth trying I'd say. Thanks for watching!
I hope your day job is writing in some capacity. Love your descriptions, really don’t here to many things repeated. Good job very enjoyable!
I write emails in my day job I suppose lol. I just read a lot as a kid so I think it helps my speech. Thanks for watching!
Wicked Yummy
✌✌
Fight on!!
Yess! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another great review! Definitely one of the better buffets.
Glad you enjoyed! And yes I agree. One of the better ones for sure. Thanks for watching!
I'm a new sub and love your reviews and channel! Keep it coming ! ❤🎉
Welcome to the channel! Very happy to have you here. I hope you enjoy the videos!
Thank you for your excellent review as usual . After reviewing your past buffet videos, I think the Four Seasons buffet looks much the best. I've heard some mixed reviews of Wicked Spoon. Hope things are well with you and yours and I look forward to your future reviews.
I actually did really like the Four Seasons breakfast buffet now that I think about it. It was good. Thanks for watching!
I had to laugh when you were explaining the ice-cream toppings and called the Marshmallows Mushrooms. I love mushrooms on my ice-cream. It's very gourmet tasting don't forget the sprinkles!
Lol!! Yessss! That earthy musty taste goes so well with the sweet 😋 lmao
Great review Shin...I could be really happy here 😊 ❤
Yes! I'm glad you enjoyed and it's a solid buffet. Thanks for watching!
I really love the buffet at THE WICKED SPOON! Everything looked awesome. The meats: the Tri Tip the chicken, the ham didn't look good to me. Love the bowls for the sides. The Indian simosas. The curry mussels must've been fantastic. The angry mac-n-cheese rustic mashed potatoes is my favorite good! The Korean station looked good kimchi, noodles. The Chinese station the pork belly looked good. The pork dumplings. Guacamole looked good. Like all the desserts the tirimisu, creme brulee, chocolate cookies, peach cobbler, Gelato any flavor. Love the Bacchanel Buffet that you blogged the best buffet. So big and alot of tasty choices from this buffet. Still love this one for the price!!!
Yes for the price I think the Wicked Spoon is very good. Those curried mussels. I could go back just for those they were so tasty. Thanks for watching!
Nice review. The food looked really good. Nice video. Thanks and take care.
Glad you enjoyed Karen! Thanks for watching!
I love the 8AM correction belch 0:16 🤣
Foods look pretty good for the price, now that Cosmopolitan is connected via walkway bridge, I need to check this buffet out!
Oh yeah! I forgot about that walkway bridge. I should also check that out. Good price point here for sure. And yes, I had to correct it because someone next to me screamed a huge F*ck as i said 8am in the video lmao. Thanks for watching!
Very nice review Shin. My husband and I do enjoy Wicked Spoon. We are planning a rehearsal brunch there in May for our son's wedding. ❤
Congratulations to your son! That's great! I hope the rehearsal, and the wedding are fantastic!
@@VegaswithShin Thank you! That's the plan! 😁
So grateful for this review! This is one of our favorite buffets in Vegas. I love when they have the bread pudding with whiskey vanilla sauce. Another go to buffet for us is Fresh at the Westgate. We love to stay there so it is convenient, reasonably priced and the food is pretty good. Los Cuocos (off strip) Cafe does a wonderful brunch also!
Yes! The Fresh Buffet is actually a very good value as well I think. Unfortunately Cuscos canceled their Sunday brunch buffet and it's no longer a thing. Thanks for watching Ruth!
thank you for the video
You bet! Thanks for watching!
I have never been to the Wicked Spoon but I have seen it reviewed many times and it seems to be going down hill. It used to look like great food now I see a lot of filler food and worn out serving dishes. My absolute favorite is the Wynn buffet. Super high quality food.
Yeah I do recall it used to be better a decade ago but still one of the better values. Wynn is great for sure. Thanks for watching!
Despite a couple of dishes that you didn’t like, it looks like a decent buffet. I could be happy eating there, and hope to soon.
Yes agreed. I still think Wicked Spoon is a solid buffet at its price point. I hope you enjoy it if you go! Thanks for watching!
lots of buffet food options
Solid buffet at the Wicked Spoon! Thanks panjo!
Wicked Spoon brunch is hard to beat in my opinion. It used to be $38. Great value.
Yes agreed. Good value on the strip at the Wicked Spoon. Thanks for watching!
Great review. I went here once back in 2014. So long ago. Have you tried the breakfast/brunch buffet at CHIN CHIN in the NYNY Casino? It’s pretty good and they have made to order omelettes and eggs Benny. Happy Easter!🐰
I haven't been to Chin Chin at all. I'm curious if people would rather see their buffet or their normal menu. Thanks for watching!
I started taking a drink every time you said "actually" and I blacked out in the first few minutes of the video.
That actually sounds accurate. Thanks for watching!
Nice video Shin. Seems mediocre. Dessert looks bomb!
The desserts station at Wicked Spoon is very good. It's probably one of the highlights of the buffet I'd say. Thanks for watching!
Whooooooooooooaaa Love that place!!!!!
Great buffet! Thanks for watching!
Yep Shin for the win.....This is my favorite buffet
Thank you! Yes a good one here. Thanks for watching!
I love ❤️ mushrooms 🍄 on my ice cream too! 🤣 11:44
Lmaooooo what a brain fart. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos 🧡
I’ve Never tried mushrooms 🍄 on my ice cream 🍨
But I don’t like marshmallows either 😂
LOL!!!
Hmmmm mushrooms as an ice cream topping? 😂🤔
Lmao. Brain fart moment! Thanks for watching!
It was better when they did dinner. Looks like it's gone a little downhill from when I was last in it 😢
I don't recall if I've ever had the dinner buffet at the Wicked Spoon. And it looks like I never will at this point lol. Thanks for watching!
Was there this weekend. Really has gone down hill. Try the Wynn buffet if you want quality.
I certainly love the Wynn buffet. I'd go there over Wicked Spoon for sure but sometimes the people I'm with don't want to spend the extra money to go and like the price here. It does fit neatly into that mid range. Thanks for watching!
Now I want to try everything, lol.
Yes! Good food to be had here. Thanks Lucia!
Is Vegas crowded for the Easter weekend? I once went on the Monday after, when most were leaving. It was pleasant.
I don't think I've ever spent Easter on the strip and I'm back home at my parent's in California this weekend to spend the time with them so I couldn't say. The Monday after I imagine would be relatively slow though.
It would be a s(h)in if you don't hit up a buffet when visiting Vegas. My favorite is the Bacchanal 😋
Haha thanks Sarah! I'm with you on that!
Seems like the Wicked Spoon gets more praise than it deserves. I think I would skip it and go to AYCE at The Palms. Of all buffets, my fav is still Makinos.
I do like the AYCE at the Palms. I've probably eaten there more since the pandemic than any other buffet. Thanks for watching!
Did they have any oysters? Another great Shinster video. Thanks
Did not see oysters on the line and I don't believe they have any. Thanks mafatone!
Vanilla ice cream is my favorite, and I can just imagine how delightful it was to combine it with that peach cobbler~😋
Coincidentally enough, the weather has gotten warmer where I am, and I’m compelled to buy some ice cream now. Thanks for making me hungry yet again, Shin~😂
Ice cream always makes things better I think lol. It's definitely starting to get warmer out so more ice cream to come! Thanks for watching!
Shin you have a great smile.
Thank you very much!
I haven't been to the Wicked Spoon Buffet since 2015 during a local anime convention that was going on at Planet Hollywood. I thought the food was okay but not as fresh. Though it was near the end of the night during dinner service when they had one. Might want to give it another try one day but I'll stick with the Wynn buffet (which I'll be going to near the end of April during LVL Up Expo lol)
Jerry I will likely be at LVL Up Expo for a day for their Street Fighter 6 tournament! Maybe we'll catch each other!
@@VegaswithShin hope to see you there
👍🤠
Thanks Vickie!
Just wondering what day of the week and approx what time did you go. I know you said lunch, but curious of the time cause they change some things out, like no bagels and no wicked juice, the salad replaces that. Great video as always. Happy Easter
This was around noon on a Wednesday. Thanks for watching!
You missed the most expensive item - the prosciutto at 0:47 -- were they actually cutting and serving the prosciutto or was it a prop just for show?
Ah, I don't think that's a prop. I did miss that and I should have for sure. Next time. Thanks for watching +
Appreciate the video! We just want to eat crab legs, so the price is perfect for us! Definitely going here for a few meals 😅
Yes! On the strip, this is the place to get AYCE crab legs and a mid tier price. Thanks for watching!
Thx Shin...now I know that I miss nothing not going to Wicked Spoon 😂 I stay with Wynn when I come back to Vegas in July....I was once with Bacchanal but I prefer the Wynn...
Happy to save you the trip! I like the Wynn Buffet also. Thanks for watching!
Tyvm and yqw buddy 🤗
Yeh !! My spot would be the mashed potatoes and the carving station, other than that for me not appealing . The desserts looked good though. I still wouldn't pay the price for brunch. Okay nice review thanx !!
Those were some of the highlights for sure. Thanks for watching!
That banana bread looked so sad there ALL by himself.
😜
Lmao!!! I was thinking the same thing internally as I walked by. Thanks for watching!
Happy April Shin 😊
Happy April to you Christine! Wow, a third of the year gone already. Time sure flies!
You this is interesting..... because you hear about this place being so good. I was supposed to go there a while back but I didn't know it closed so early ( which is weird being in Vegas ) but seeing this I didn't miss anything. For the price I'd been upset, this looks like one of those 5.99 buffet's you would ass in Reno.
Happy to give you the reassurance that you didn't miss anything for yourself! Thanks for watching!
Hey Shin it's been a while hope life is treating you well, anyway I tried this buffet twice almost a few years ago it was just okay for me and what not but things just seemed to be a little off for me concerning this place, I suppose I didn't like the fact that a lot of the dishes were on little separate plates and the quality for me was only so so... even though I spent more than two hours eating trying to get my money's worth each time.
I can see now that MGM has taken over this hotel that things have only gone down hill everything that company touches they ruin and from what I'm hearing about the Cosmo nowadays it's not good, the government should have stopped all these mergers in the late 90's and 2000's from ever happening anyway it's really ruined things in Vegas as far as I'm concerned, but as for the buffet I like Caesars a lot better it just has more variety and everyone seems more friendly and happy to be there and the decor is great well enjoy your week we'll catch you on the next one see you later.
Hey Admiral, I've been well thanks. Hope you have been well also! Definitely the mid tier buffet here at the Wicked Spoon. Just doesn't compare to Bacchanal or Wynn. But decent for the price. Thanks for watching!
I was in Las Vegas last week, and didn't bother to go to Wicked Spoon after watching a video by a popular Las Vegas youtuber who gave it bad reviews, it's okay, I went to the Wicked Spoon twice before the pandemic, and from what I have seen, it hasn't been able to come back to 100% with no dinner service, and so I ended up just sticking with the Bachannal & Wynn buffet last week. I don't know why WS has fallen so far from the way it was before the pandemic.
Yeah, compared to Wynn and Bacchanal, Wicked Spoon is not going to hold much weight. It's unfortunate but I do think they were better before the lock downs. Thanks for watching!
Aloha Shin. Over 13k views in 12 hours! Yeah, the people are getting you! Big words and big bites with Shin!
Haha thanks Lu!
Hard agree on the whipped potatoes....chunky taters aint it. I do like the mashed potato bar concept. Wonder if they'll ever start serving dinner again.
I'm genuinely curious if we'll ever see the return of the dinner service as well. I've never tried it in the past so it would be nice if they brought it back. Thanks for watching potato!!
Thank you for the video. FYI, That’s not Chinese bok choy. It looks like Chinese broccoli. Bok choy means “white veggie” literally.
Appreciate the info! Thanks for watching!
I'm not a gourmand but I'm pretty sure that was bread and not toast. I think that's what that fancy machine next to it does.😂
What?? I will have to check sources 😆
I believe the Chinese vegetable was not bok choy, but rather gai lan.
Indeed it was gai lan. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin I mention that because bok choy has a different texture and taste than Gai Lan, aka Chinese broccoli.
I wasn't to impressed with Wicked Spoon… but Cosmo's food hall is pretty good.
I will have a video on their food hall later this year. I actually haven't eaten much there so I'm looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for watching!
HI SHIN; VERY THOROUGH VIDEO....GREAT JOB.......I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE....BUT I WOULD TRY IT...THANK YOU FOR VIDEO DANNY
Very nice! I hope you like it if you get the chance to go! Thanks for watching!
crab legs but no ice cream is wild.
They have ice cream?
@@VegaswithShin I dunno. I watched your video and I saw no ice cream.
@@gotacallfromvishal 11:50 is the ice cream
@@VegaswithShin Oh! Ha. LOL My bad. I was stressed that there was nothing to eat with those cookies. Thanks!
11:44 Mushroom's?? 🤔 Shin.....😃
Yes, big brain fart moment lmao!
Try the MGM Grand buffet
Wow it's been like 2+ years since I went to the MGM Grand Buffet. Maybe I will do a return trip sometime. Thanks for watching!
Damn I was there in 2015 it looked so much better in the past sad moment. But maybe it was dinner buffet? Not 100% sure
Most seem to agree that the buffet's prime was prior to the 2020 lockdowns. It had been a long time since I've visited so hard for me to recall that far back. Thanks for watching!
nice new hair style
Thank you very much! I got to the donation length I wanted and so it was time. I love having short hair again lol. Thank you for watching!
Sorry Shin. I'm adventurous but I can't do mushrooms on my ice cream. 😅
Lmaoooo! Let's expand our culinary horizon! Thanks for watching!
upgraded chinese buffet
I see no lies in this statement. Thanks for watching!
Way too many selections! I get overloaded with different tastes. Better to come back a few times and eat one type of food at a time. Usually tourists don't have enough time to do this.
That would be cool to do but as you say, hard for tourists who are only in town for a handful of days. Thanks for watching!
So was it just me, or was the only breakfast meat available was bacon? No sausage? Or scrambled eggs ??
They had an omelet station so you can get eggs cooked to order there. Don't think I saw sausage but I do think the menu slightly changes around 11am to the more lunch style you saw me have. Thanks for watching!
Not looking great I’ll pay more for the Wynn
That's a solid call. Thanks for watching!
To be honest the only thing that looked good to eat was the cheese pizza and the bbq salmon….everything else looked like it had been sitting out for a long time. The bachanal buffet ruins any other buffet for me
Bacchanal is the best hands down for me. But it's almost double the price of the Wicked Spoon so this fits very nicely into that zone. Thanks for watching!
Gailan
Yes! Thanks!
Everything looked so dry....
The salmon certainly wasn't. But it's all timing and when you get it at a buffet. Thanks for watching!
Medicare buffet
I don't think Medicare would pay for your buffet trip but if they do, 71 can't come fast enough. Thanks for watching!
Asia Buffet > Wicked Spoon. Take away the more expensive proteins, hard to justify paying almost $30 dollars more for so so food. Also, Wicked Spoon need to improve their Asian food offerings. I mean, who puts bell peppers on ramen?
I think if you're on the strip, it's still a solid choice for the price point. An Uber ride to and from one of the off strip Asian buffets would make up the difference in price and could be more during surge pricing. Thanks for watching!
why dont you get an implant.. it would make such a difference shin ?
I had tried before a handful of years ago but the implant didn't take. And to try again now there's some more procedures to go through to take out what's there, shave down the teeth next to it as they've kind of grown in, and try another bone graft and implant iirc so I'll get around to it eventually but it's just a lot and spending hours at the dentist per appointment is just something I haven't prioritized. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin you got this brother!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
