Krazy Buffet is a Chinese Buffet located in Vegas not too far from the Las Vegas Strip. We tried them on a Sunday and I noticed that they offer a shellfish heavy buffet. But it’s a buffet s there are many other things to try.

It was packed so we had to wait for a table. Got seated pretty quickly and started the buffet journey.

I noticed that someone dropped a chicken leg on the floor and nobody wants to pick it up. All the workers just ignored it.

Here’s my first plate.

The spicy chicken is really gross and I don’t think anyone would like it unless you don’t mind chicken cartilage in your mouth. The one sushi is also really gross and I had to spit that out too because the fish is hard, dry and chewy. The green beans taste good but they are over cooked and squishy. The sesame ball is good.

I thought I would like the sea bass and the fried chicken.

The sea bass is GROSS. I can’t identify the WEIRD flavor…YUK! The chicken is dry, stringy, and GROSS too!

The only thing I liked (and it really wasn’t that great) was the soft serve vanilla with a fresh hot doughnut. The fresh pineapple was so sour that it hurt my mouth. The fried banana was ok.

Krazy Buffet – Maybe ok for raw shellfish but – Not the best.

Papa Joe’s Chicken & Waffles is a Southern Soul Type Casual Restaurant located in the Centennial part of Vegas. This is mainly a take out restaurant because they only have three tables to dine at inside.

I tried the chicken & fish dinner with sweet potato fries, macaroni and cheese that comes with a dinner roll.

The chicken wings here are really GREAT! They are big and juicy with lots of meat and are fried to perfection (nice and crisp, delicious, and seem free of oil). I also got two generous fish filets that are also perfectly fried. For my sides I got macaroni and cheese (a bit over cooked and broken up), sweet potato fries and a dinner roll (that seems buttered with added sweetness).

My husband tried the chicken and shrimp dinner with macaroni and cheese, dressing (stuffing), and a corn muffin.

Happy to say that the chicken and shrimp are both fried to perfection. The macaroni and cheese is a bit over cooked. The stuffing seems a bit wet. The corn muffing is fresh and moist but is a bit sweet.

Papa Joe’s Chicken & Waffles is certainly Worth a Try!

Momzu Italian Oven is a high quality seasonal Italian Restaurant located not too far from the Las Vegas Strip. They are a little different and offer some Italian Street Foods that are seldom found in most Italian Restaurants such as sausage stuffed olives, cheese stuffed squash blossoms, sage leaves with fried anchovies. They are also well known for their amazing bread that is made with a three hundred year old family starter that probably is the very best bread in all of Nevada. You can order a la carte or go for a Chef’s Table Menu that is multiple courses of much of the menu. (and we feel the way to go but we warn you that you will have leftovers to bring home.)

Here’s what it looks like inside.

Whatever you order they start you off with their amazing bread and embellished ricotta cheese.

If you are ordering a la carte then you might want something like a light and refreshing Italian Beet Salad called Barbabietole.

It’s an Italian Restaurant so you will need a freshly made pasta course. Perhaps the carbonara.

Next are your entrees.

Hanger Steak

Chilian Sea Bass (This was really amazing…it just melted in your mouth)

We had way more food than we could eat and this was the only time we passed on dessert.

Normally we go for the Chefs Table Menu of multiple courses.

This is similar to what you’d normally get on the chef’s table menu.

Bread with embellished ricotta

Street Food combination platter

Vegetables and Salads Platter

Risotto

pasta

pizza

one of two entrees

two of two entrees

a platter of dessert

This is very good and most likely you will have plenty to bring home too. (2026 price $75. per person)

Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse & Revolving Sushi is a unique experience. They have four locations here in Vegas. Here is what part of the the North/West Centennial location looks like.

What’s not pictured is to the left is more traditional tables and in the corner is a bar area.

During the day the revolving sushi is what to get.

Only $3.25 a plate.

You can also order plates off a computer screen at your table.

What to get?

After the plates go around for a while we finally decide to pick up plates and try them.

Salmon, trout, garlic salmon roll and an order of fresh wasabi

Salmon belly

Forget what this was

Spicy tuna roll

smoked salmon

Mackerel

Or was this yellowtail?

Then we order the chicken karaage.

It comes flying up to our table.

The Chicken Karaage is kinda good here.

It was kinda fun and different. Not the best sushi but maybe the least expensive sushi that I would eat.

Worth a Try!

Blue Olive Mediterranean & Pizza recently opened in the North/West part of Las Vegas. This isn’t a fancy place. It’s also very casual. You order and pay at the counter and seat yourself.

We tried a variety of things from the menu.

I’m pleased to say that everything was at least good!

We started by sharing an appetizer order of falafels.

They taste very different than what I’m used to.

Less herby and not green inside.

More moist.

I was told that these are more Lebanese Style. They have tahini sauce poured on them and they sit over hummus that is embellished with tomatoes, onions, cabbage, and lettuce.

I got a roasted chicken leg hummus bowl.

They generously gave me TWO delicious juicy nicely seasoned chicken legs that sit over hummus garnished with cabbage, jalapeños, olives, tomatoes and a side of fluffy pita breads.

Now this is Excellent and an amazing value at $16.99 because I got TWO meals out of this.

My husband tried the Greek Hero Pizza.

It’s a nicely made pizza with gyro meat, Feta and other cheese, tomatoes, onions, and sauce.

Mostly Very Good and Worth a Try!

Shuck’s Tavern is a 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant type of place with two locations in Vegas. The North/West North Durango Road location isn’t a fancy place and has a similar atmosphere to many of the other 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant type places.

The difference between this place and the similar others is the food they serve here. They have a long menu of many choices and lots of fresh seafood that they do indeed prepare nicely. j

Just like the atmosphere the food isn’t fancy but it’s fresh, prepared nicely, with large portions, and low pricing.

Oh and margaritas are good too!

Chopped Salmon Salad

The Fishermans Platter – Fried Haddock, Fried Shrimp, French Fries, Cole Slaw

Grilled Salmon with wild rice and vegetables

They didn’t even ask how I wanted the salmon cooked – They cook it a perfect medium.

Shuck’s Tavern – One of the better of the 24/7 bar gaming and restaurant type places and is certainly Worth a Try!

KJ Dim Sum & Seafood is located in the Rio Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada. They are a Dim Sum and Cantonese Seafood Restaurant.

I was going to order off the menu. But this is a dim sum restaurant and after a few carts I thought I’d just be happy with dim sum.

Someone offers us something called chicken rice. That sounds good. So we gave it a try.

I don’t know why but I can’t stomach this dish. I can’t even tell you what it tastes like.

Then we get a bunch of other plates from another cart.

For me the best of the bunch was the Asian Broccoli. It was fresh and hot and steamed. To the right is the chicken rice (that’s gross), Below it is crunchy dry vegetable chow mein, to the left are shrimp balls (my husband said that they tastes good but are cold. Bottom dish is vegetable spring rolls that are cold and paste-tee inside.

By now we are very thirsty but nobody offered us a beverage.

My husband get up to try to help ourselves. At this point someone drops by and brings a pot of hot tea.

It’s unfiltered and tea leaves are mixed into the tea.

My husband asks for water. Someone does come by and drop off two glasses of water.

The water they gave to my husband has BLACK THINGS FLOATING in it.

He got up and showed someone the water and asked for another glass of water. He was eventually served a new water.

Some of the people pushing carts ignored us like I think the person pushing a soup cart.

There also isn’t much to eat here if you don’t eat shrimp or pork.

I did try the sesame balls because I usually like them.

Usually they come filled with sweet bean paste but I did try them with fruit filling once.

These are different.

The dough is wet inside. I have no idea on what the sweetened filling was.

For me this was a FORK NO.

Your visit may indeed differ.

The Cantina is a 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant type of place with three locations in Vegas. Recently the North Las Vegas location opened at 1125 E Craig Road (in the spot where Born and Raised was). They offer a mostly Mexican Type Menu but also offer Smash Burgers.

Here’s the Bar Area.

Here’s the main dining area. It’s filled with large curved booths and a few traditional tables and a BIG Screen TV.

We ordered a basket of chips with salsa to start with.

The chips seem like they came out of a bag but both salsas are good and tastes freshly prepared.

For our main we shared a steak and chicken fajita.

I am pleased to say that the fajita is VERY GOOD! The chicken and steak are infused with delicious flavors. (We also got tortillas not pictured)

I did come back again for a third visit and on a second try the fajita was different and not as infused with flavors and also not as tender. They also were out of chicken that dyad I thought that was odd for it being a Friday. The rice also had a slightly different taste. (not all but most restaurants are not consistent.)

Happy Hour Margaritas were very good and you get the chips and salsas are complimentary at Happy Hour.

On our second visit to this location I tried one of each fish taco. They were maui maui grilled and maui maui fried and crispy.

The menu didn’t mention that these were street sized double shelled tacos. They are good , well packed and tasty but oddly pricy compared to other similar restaurants (this plate was $24).

But my husband did much better and enjoyed his smash burger with one added patty.

SEE he did much better than me.

Joey’s Tavern is a 24/7 Bar, Restaurant, & Gaming type of sports bar in the North/West part of Las Vegas. This place differs slightly from a lot of other similar places. This place others around half a dozen monthly special and a pizza of the month in addition to a mostly American Breakfast lunch and dinner menu.

But it is dark inside.

And the BIG HEAVY Chairs at the tables are very uncomfortable. …..But the food was very good.

I tried a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries.

This might be the juiciest most flavorful chicken sandwich I had in Vegas so far. It is spicy but not so spicy I can’t eat it. It’s delicious but with one major problem. There are small pieces of bone in with the chicken breast that I was lucky to spit out. A minor issue is that this sandwich contains lettuce, tomato, and onion and is missing the pickle that normally is on a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Well we are in Vegas and not Nashville so you don’t get pickles here. It’s still a very good sandwich if you don’t choke on a bone. The sweet potato fries are fried nicely and are crisp and not oily.

My husband enjoyed the BBQ Brisket Sandwich with Soup of the day (potato/broccoli).

He said it was delicious and is happy to come here again.

Maybe it’s brighter if you sit in a different area? and maybe more comfortable?

The food was very good so Joey’s Tavern is Worth a Try!

Tony Luke’s is famous in south Philly PA for their pork sandwich and cheesesteaks. They have a food stand in the Canteen Food Hall in the Rio Casino/Hotel right by the Las Vegas Strip.

I tried a chicken steak hoagie with added bell peppers (no cheese) and got this.

They did give me a lot of chicken…..possibly extra chicken? But all the chicken is dry and crunchy. They also slapped on too much mayonnaise. Maybe because they knew the chicken was so dry. Oddly this sandwich contains pickle chips. That tastes weird in this sandwich. Usually a chicken steak hoagie is chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. This one is different it’s chicken (no cheese at my request) sautéed onion, (I added bell peppers) tomato slice, and mayonnaise. I brought home lots of crunchy chicken. My dogs enjoyed it.

My husband ordered a pizza cheesesteak with extra cheese. He got this.

It seems to me missing the marinara sauce and most of the cheeses.

CLEARLY – NOT THE BEST!
