*Thank you for taking us along to Vegas. I joined you for dinner with my bologna and swiss bagel sandwich. It's not lobster but it does the trick. Best from Seattle!* 🦞🦀🍤
Hi Tim, thank you for showing us these great places , I have never been to Chinatown in Vegas, next time we go Definitely will have to venture there! Love your videos, it’s really enjoyable when the person, you, is really knowledgeable, and enjoys food the way you do!
As someone who's been to this buffet before, here are some things that were not shown on the video. 1. The sashimi station is only limited to 2 piece of sashimi at a time, you're not allowed to get more until next time you get in up from your seat 2. The lobster is limited to 3 pieces at a time, just like the sashimi. The worker gave him a LOT because he's a youtuber. 3. They refill the lobster station very slowly... Takes around 45 minutes for a new plate and it goes out really quick 4. From my memory, lobster and crab is only available for dinner, lunch does not include these items. 5. Lunch was $25.99 when I went before. 6. Drinks cost extra and it's not included in the base price If you guys do decide to visit, I would recommend the lunch price, I don't think it was worth $20 for the crab + lobster, the lobster didn't taste very fresh, the meat was sticking to the shell a lot and just didn't give an overall good impression. I also recommend the frog legs, baked scallop, baked clams, and the steam oyster shown in video. For dessert, the mango and coffee cake is very delicious, a must try in my opinion. The sushi is surprisingly fresh too, not a bad pick up. Overall I'd say the lunch price is very worth it, but the dinner price, not really. (Been to dinner twice and lunch 4 times)
@@VenusTevy If you love seafood I would recommend the Wynn or Bacchanal Buffet. I wouldn't go to Asian buffet for seafood. It is a lot cheaper, but if you guys are here for vacation, might as well splurge and go to a good spot and leave a good memory. With that being said, I think this spot for lunch is honestly not bad for the price you pay. It is a decent amount of seafood option (for it is a seafood buffet, with asian style flavors) but if you're into seafood of any kind, the other two I mentioned is a lot better in my opinion. You can look up some recent videos of the two I mentioned and decide among yourselves. :)
That was a tremendous buffet. The lobster looked delicious. I want to thank you for your videos. It’s therapeutic for me. I’ve had Covid 4 times and Covid # 2 left me without a sense of taste since November 2020. I like how you describe the food and textures. I rely solely on texture. Thank you again!

A very decent buffet for a great price. Everything looked nicely prepared and the management was very generous with the lobster. Thanks againTime for taking me along. Have a wonderful day and I hope things are going well with the clean up. Cheers! 🥂🌹🥂
I'm going for the lobster first then shrimp, sushi and oysters! I've decided that I want to go to Las Vegas, to visit all of your recommended eateries! Thanks for another great video!
I visited Vancouver once and really enjoyed Chinese food there, also it is cheaper than NYC or SF. Haven't visited LV for many years, may also have a try
Tim on burger at 6:17. If you love burgers you have to try The Burger's Priest. There are many locations in Ontario (don't know about Vancouver area). The burger types have a religious theme: St. Peter, The Priest, High Priest, The Vatican, Holy Smokes, etc. but all are delicious.
Imperial Sushi is great! One of these days, I will bump into you during your Vegas visits and I'll be able to thank you in person for all your great videos!
Everything looks delicious. But, that Crab Rangoon was the plumpest I've ever seen. Also, it's funny how the sun went down and you stayed until it was dark. Definitely worth the $45😂❤😂.
I always go to In-n-out in Vegas. This trip you ate more Lobster than I did all summer here in Boston 🦞 🤣 Thanks for giving me another place to try on my next trip.
Big thank you Tim. We're here in Vegas now and staying at PH, but we're definitely going to the Imperial (by bus of course, we hung out with Danny the Medic a few times. 😊).
Coca Cola needs to sponsor you, too, Tim. You're just advertising for them for free, but they haven't yet seen the great reviews and contents you've shown on your channel. Great video here as always!
I just ate at this place and it isn't worth it, and the lobster was not very good, in fact the worst I had ever had, and there was some not so good lobster at the old Rio Seafood Buffet that virtually had no taste to it. This restaurant on the video, the lobster was really hard to get to, small pieces, and not much taste. I would advise for a lobster buffet, what I haven't tried, but what seems to be the best would be the Palms.
@@timbatee7433 So was I....huge disappointment. If you would like sushi, there are some good AYCE...I like Hikari at Flamingo and Buffalo, as this restaurant doesn't have that great a variety. The lobster was literally the first lobster in my life that I didn't want to eat. It was a real pain cracking the knuckles for very little meat. This was once and done. If you like lobster, maybe the Palms lobster buffet on Wed. and Thursday. Or, there are some other Asian buffets. My friend wants to go to Makino, and you can look at the video. I think the best thing my comment did was save you from paying $45 or however much it was plus tax. I would have much preferred AYCE sushi at $32 per person, and much better quality.
Unfortunately they are not forthcoming with the lobster for ordinary customers. They limit three pieces per diner and bring out two or three cut up lobsters for every 30-60 minutes. Read the Yelp reviews to get a realistic point of view dining here. There’s a reason why there’s a 4 hour wait midweek at the Palms and 4-6 months wait at the M resorts, it’s because they don’t play games when they’re distributing their lobsters. Thank you Tim for all you do. You are well respected being a food vlogger and mean no disrespect to your visit.
I would be in big trouble at this buffet! I would want to try a piece of every single sushi, but then I'd be too full for the lobster and all the other good things! Sushi for dessert sounds good lol. Thanks for another great video!
Sushi for dessert is funny thing to say. We have a Chinese buffet here. They have pretty good sushi. I'll start with sushi, get other savory items and end with sushi.
Thanks Tim, for the tips. I go to Vegas quite often. I am actually on a diet at the moment but when I am in Vegas again, I will go all out. lol. I like lobster and crabs but not too sure if I can eat that many. hehe.
Very nice and reasonable Buffet. Any Buffet with lobster, for under 50 dollars is a winner. We all know that Chinese Buffets are known to have a very limited dessert section, no big deal. Nice video Tim!
Yeah, a whole lobster is at least 15$ each when bought in bulk. If you eat 3 lobsters, the owner broke even just on food costs. Tim can probably eat 10 lobsters if he only ate lobsters, there is not much meat in a lobster in general.
Most Chinese restaurants are well known for their poor quality and sanitation so be aware of these lobster freshesss , most of them were purchased not lived and also I could tell that the prime rib ribs were deep fried, that's why made it so dry and tough !
@@sunshineafrican6872 OH, right. Because you know how to eat, you're an expert at running a restaurant. So, a restauranteur buys "dead" lobsters for their business. A business that depends on fresh ingredients, rent to be paid, employees' salaries, advertising, and a constant turnover of clientele to survive. What does that say about their customers who eat there regularly? If you choose to save a few pennies, and dine in second rate establishments, don't be smearing every other successful businesses, because you got sick from eating inferior quality food.
Hi Tim, thank for sharing this video! It’s nice to see you visit these smaller buffets and restaurants in addition to the larger ones. I would have done the same as you and started with sushi then lobster but I’d be frustrated they gave me too much, it’s great to be generous but the best part of a buffet is to try various dishes. I’m finally going to be able to visit USA for the first time next month, going to New York. I have been watching your videos in NY, hoping to see some of the great places you have shown us. Sending love from Ireland as always 🇮🇪
Nice little buffet. Like the lobster claw availability, my fave part. And, duck! Think I'd like the red bean ice cream, love the flavor of red beans. Funny because I didn't grow up eating them, new for me. I've even looked into cooking them. Hello from rainy Corvallis Oregon.
I would have stayed away from the sushi . The things I would have ate : Frog legs, coconut shrimp , lobster & crab legs (double) , clam chowder , crab ragoons , spring rolls , scallops , oysters , beef and broccoli, Dr Pepper to drink and ice cream for dessert. If anyone cares, lol.
@user-mp5zt7qj5h 🙄 True, true. How embarrassing 😳. Honestly, I knew I hacked it up, but it wouldn't let me go back and edit 🙃 So , I guess it's meant to stay 😅 YAY!!!!
Lobster Cantonese has gone out of style from when I was a child, so glad to see it again. The style really brings out the flavor of the lobster. My first plate would be the rice with lobster placed on top with a few snow crab legs. Anything I could eat after it would be a bonus. Chinese buffet never stock great dessert for believe people prefer fruit after a large meal. Thanks for going off the strip to show this great place. I am guessing the price will go up if more people start to go.
There is nothing like In N Out! I get a 3x3 animal style with fries and a chocolate shake at least once a week! And it's still less than $12! I don't get burgers from anywhere else unless the circumstances don't warrant In N Out at the time. But the whole time I am wishing it was my 3x3😢
I love, love, love coconut shrimp and crab Rangoon, could make a meal of that alone. Take out around here doesn't havre coconut shrimp and the crab rangoon is Itty, bitty. What you are eating is making my mouth water!
Thank you for your video. I am perhaps a bit embarrassed to share that I have lived here forever, and do venture to Chinatown for a meal now and then, and I had not heard of this seafood and lobster buffet. You aren't just helping out the tourists, but the locals also. I will definitely be there either with a date or my bud that I have sushi with, in the next two weeks. I will let the restaurant know that I learned of them from your video. It is interesting that this buffet for two will be $90. I had taken a client and her son out for lunch at Lucille's BBQ. The kid had gumbo, I had half a chicken, and my friend did order ribs and nacho, and I thought the bill would be $60-$65. With tip it was $117.....for lunch! I took a friend to the Vintner Grill last week for lunch. I wound up having soup, and she had a cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, and ordered some fried Calamari. Lunch including tip was $80! For a burger, soup, and fried calamari...and we had water to drink. Maybe our government shouldn't have spent an extra $5 trillion to be the primary cause of 40 year high inflation, driving food prices up by over 20% in less than three years.....that's just my thinking, as two lunches totaling about $200 with only water to drink is crazy.
Thank you so much for reaching out. I know! Things are getting so expensive recently especially with restaurants. Staffing as well as food are expensive running up the costs. I’m definitely feeling it too. Hopefully inflation is held at bay…
@@Resmith18SR First of all you should never mock anybody that might have difficulty affording to eat out. Secondly, given that I can afford a condo on the ocean in Boca Raton, and a home in Las Vegas, and have enough for two lifetimes, I am very grateful to be able to afford to eat out. But I feel badly for those who can't. Las Vegas used to be one of the least expensive places to be, and now that is not he case. Even when there were $2 steaks, and all you can eat pasta for $2, and buffets under $10, there were always people who couldn't even afford that. For those people who work hard and raise children, and they don't have $80 for a lunch for two people, that isn't anything to laugh at. I think its ridiculous that a BBQ lunch with gumbo, 1/2 chicken, nachos, and ribs, with tip was around $117 if I recall. People can't afford that. 61% of people live paycheck to paycheck. I will give you some life advice.....don't laugh or mock others who can't afford to go out to eat, but encourage them instead of demeaning them, for which their character and their impact on this world will likely be far more than yours.
@@randylazer2894 Randy, Who are you to judge me and if you make a comment on any social media for public consumption then you should expect different opinions and comments, some positive and some negative. No one puts a gun to this person's head and forces him to go and eat out and they should know how much they're spending on any meals and it shouldn't be a surprise or something you complain about after the fact. This person and others here on UA-cam who spend on expensive restaurant meals are in reality flexing to show off the fact they can afford to eat out at these prices.
Vegas...probably only place where you can try all regional iconic burgers - In N Out, White Castle, Shake Shack, Five Guys, and soon to come Whataburger and other fancy ones like Gordon Ramsay burger.
I almost never eat burgers but that burger did look very good. You just said your appetite is back I would not have an appetite again for another 24 hours. When you get older like I am you get filled up with smaller amounts of food and it holds you over for a long time.
Hi Tim, this is my first time watching your channel and i like it. By the way, my husband was behind me hearing in n out😅 and he woke up right the way. He saw your shirt asking me if coca cola sponsored it 😅 After this video, I told him we have to try the buffet. We live in Sacramento, California. We can either drive 9 hours or fly in low season. Thank you for your video 😊😊
lol … What a nice way to wake up! So many great places in Vegas to try, but I must admit, it used to be a lot more affordable before. Thank you so much for reaching out and hope you have an amazing trip.
Thanks for sharing Tim - nice Vlog once again. Just an idea, maybe you could consider doing a weekend in Reno & Lake Tahoe if you haven't yet featured this area to review the food scene there - Toucan Charlie's Buffet, Peppermill Burger.
I've just found your videos as I'm preparing for taking my first trip to Vegas later this month. I think I've developed a bit of a crush on you 😊 You're a handsome guy and watching/listening to you is very calming - and your smile is contagious. Anyway, as a solo traveler, I always watch/read/Google as much as I can about the location before I go so that I don't miss anything. Looking forward to seeing more of your content when I'm preparing for trips!
Hi Tim it’s so great to see you back in Vegas again sharing lots of good videos 🥰 We watched your video featuring the M Resorts Lobster Brunch Buffet. We have been trying to make a reservation but for some reason we are not able to find how and what. I mean no matter how we do it keeps bringing us to Open Table and there is no Anthony’s Steakhouse for brunch in their listings. Is there a special way to make a reservation and where can we find it? I hope you could help us 🥰 Thanks Tim❣️
You were funny touching all the fries at different parts of the Fry tray but it doesn't matter since you're by yourself. You da man though by not putting any ice in your highly carbonated drink. Lol!
Imperial Chinese buffet looks great. I've tried a handful times In n Out, and the fries (animal style and not) have always tasted stale with burgers always lacking salt and pepper seasoning (just mediocre) But I'm sure you will find an excellent hidden burger option while visiting Vegas. Look forward to all you videos!
In n out burger is a good value but their fries are inedible no matter what you do to them. I prefer Freddy’s double California burger with their skinny crispy fries. A few bucks more but well worth it.
tim this is a great review ,that in and out burger looked very good and that price was very reasonable for las vegas ,and the buffet looked excellent ,tim thank you very much for this review
Thank you for suggesting Imperial, I would get lobster and rice to soak up gravy. Not a sushi person, but will get other delicious food. I'm in Az, so we have In N Out .
Lobster and fried rice combination, coconut shrimp, crab rangoon, glass noodles (japchae) if they have it. Not keen on the raw seafood dishes. Tempura roll is ok. They need to pressure cook the rib bones. The lobster server was impressed with you, so he (or she) piled your plate with it. The sauce sounds delicious.
Hello Tim Lee Good to see you out about food trip Las Vegas Chinese food looking good yummy & Delicious especially ur favorite lobster 🦞 I’m glad you did enjoy Dinner thank you watching from California 🙏🏼🌹
Thank you so much! And greetings from spain. Here supporting my goddaughter on the world triathlon. Very good seafood and lobster indeed ndt glad to say there is really good seafood here also
When in Vegas, the No. 1 buffet here is the Bacchanal buffet in Cesar’s Palace, then the Wynn Buffet, The Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan, The Bellagio Hotel Buffet, Seafood buffet Southpoint Casino
omg...defo going here for those chinese stir fried lobsters! do they limit u there? thats the only place i seen in vegas with stir fried lobster AYCE ...is there a seniors discount at imperial buffet? thx
I’ve always wondered how you stay so lean when you eat at these buffets ! You must so intermittent fasting. The food looks amazing as always, the portion size’s are definitely generous, the sushi looks so awesome and so does the lobster. Delicious 😋
WHAT??? DIET COKE??? Non sense!!!! When I have Coke, I want the full effect!!! I am so glad you made this video. Not enough people make videos like this. Las Vegas keeps changing all the time. That area you walked through was not there the last time I was in Las Vegas. The food at that buffet, I felt like crying it was so beautiful!!! It has a deep sense of grace and elegance. Rice. Yes, always. It soaks up the sauces, as you said. Now I know what is there at this time. I will head to that buffet. If I see Leon, I'll tell him, "Mr. Lee sent me."
I'm a local and was not impressed with the Imperial buffet. Crab legs were small and the lobster was in small pieces. They didn't stock either product very well. I will not return.

@@foggycity-gd2co I think lunch price is very worth tho

Thank you so much 🙏. Really grateful to get to visit and share these experiences 😀
Great video, as usual! Thank you Tim 😊
Going to watch you on the big screen!! 😋😋😋 I need this info!!! Thx Tim ✌️🙋♀️
Snack before dinner buffet is double double and fries 😂🤣😂🤣
Hi Tim, thank for sharing this video! It’s nice to see you visit these smaller buffets and restaurants in addition to the larger ones.
I would have done the same as you and started with sushi then lobster but I’d be frustrated they gave me too much, it’s great to be generous but the best part of a buffet is to try various dishes.
I’m finally going to be able to visit USA for the first time next month, going to New York. I have been watching your videos in NY, hoping to see some of the great places you have shown us.
Sending love from Ireland as always 🇮🇪
We love the Irish, especially in New York where so many Irish immigrated to. I hope you have a wonderful visit to NYC. 🤗😀
@@happycook6737 thanks for the message, excited to see somewhere new!
Nice little buffet. Like the lobster claw availability, my fave part. And, duck! Think I'd like the red bean ice cream, love the flavor of red beans. Funny because I didn't grow up eating them, new for me. I've even looked into cooking them. Hello from rainy Corvallis Oregon.
I would have stayed away from the sushi . The things I would have ate : Frog legs, coconut shrimp , lobster & crab legs (double) , clam chowder , crab ragoons , spring rolls , scallops , oysters , beef and broccoli, Dr Pepper to drink and ice cream for dessert. If anyone cares, lol.
Would have eaten……grammar police😉
@user-mp5zt7qj5h 🙄 True, true. How embarrassing 😳. Honestly, I knew I hacked it up, but it wouldn't let me go back and edit 🙃 So , I guess it's meant to stay 😅 YAY!!!!
Lobster Cantonese has gone out of style from when I was a child, so glad to see it again. The style really brings out the flavor of the lobster. My first plate would be the rice with lobster placed on top with a few snow crab legs. Anything I could eat after it would be a bonus. Chinese buffet never stock great dessert for believe people prefer fruit after a large meal. Thanks for going off the strip to show this great place. I am guessing the price will go up if more people start to go.
I love Lobster Cantonese!
My childhood being happy 😊 I love it too!
There is nothing like In N Out! I get a 3x3 animal style with fries and a chocolate shake at least once a week! And it's still less than $12! I don't get burgers from anywhere else unless the circumstances don't warrant In N Out at the time. But the whole time I am wishing it was my 3x3😢
I love, love, love coconut shrimp and crab Rangoon, could make a meal of that alone. Take out around here doesn't havre coconut shrimp and the crab rangoon is Itty, bitty. What you are eating is making my mouth water!
I was actually quite surprised at how big the coconut shrimp were. Really enjoyable and hope you get a chance to give it a try 😋
Great buffet choice...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤😊
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Tim Lee 😂😂😂 very cold and beanie. So cute.
You went to one of my favorite fast food joints. In/and Out❤.
Thank you for your video. I am perhaps a bit embarrassed to share that I have lived here forever, and do venture to Chinatown for a meal now and then, and I had not heard of this seafood and lobster buffet. You aren't just helping out the tourists, but the locals also. I will definitely be there either with a date or my bud that I have sushi with, in the next two weeks. I will let the restaurant know that I learned of them from your video.
It is interesting that this buffet for two will be $90. I had taken a client and her son out for lunch at Lucille's BBQ. The kid had gumbo, I had half a chicken, and my friend did order ribs and nacho, and I thought the bill would be $60-$65. With tip it was $117.....for lunch!
I took a friend to the Vintner Grill last week for lunch. I wound up having soup, and she had a cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, and ordered some fried Calamari. Lunch including tip was $80! For a burger, soup, and fried calamari...and we had water to drink.
Maybe our government shouldn't have spent an extra $5 trillion to be the primary cause of 40 year high inflation, driving food prices up by over 20% in less than three years.....that's just my thinking, as two lunches totaling about $200 with only water to drink is crazy.
Lol you wrote too much
Thank you so much for reaching out. I know! Things are getting so expensive recently especially with restaurants. Staffing as well as food are expensive running up the costs. I’m definitely feeling it too. Hopefully inflation is held at bay…
Hahahaha, you can't afford to eat out there in Vegas? Wah Wah,😂😂😂
@@Resmith18SR First of all you should never mock anybody that might have difficulty affording to eat out.
Secondly, given that I can afford a condo on the ocean in Boca Raton, and a home in Las Vegas, and have enough for two lifetimes, I am very grateful to be able to afford to eat out. But I feel badly for those who can't.
Las Vegas used to be one of the least expensive places to be, and now that is not he case. Even when there were $2 steaks, and all you can eat pasta for $2, and buffets under $10, there were always people who couldn't even afford that.
For those people who work hard and raise children, and they don't have $80 for a lunch for two people, that isn't anything to laugh at.
I think its ridiculous that a BBQ lunch with gumbo, 1/2 chicken, nachos, and ribs, with tip was around $117 if I recall.
People can't afford that. 61% of people live paycheck to paycheck.
I will give you some life advice.....don't laugh or mock others who can't afford to go out to eat, but encourage them instead of demeaning them, for which their character and their impact on this world will likely be far more than yours.
@@randylazer2894 Randy, Who are you to judge me and if you make a comment on any social media for public consumption then you should expect different opinions and comments, some positive and some negative. No one puts a gun to this person's head and forces him to go and eat out and they should know how much they're spending on any meals and it shouldn't be a surprise or something you complain about after the fact. This person and others here on UA-cam who spend on expensive restaurant meals are in reality flexing to show off the fact they can afford to eat out at these prices.
Vegas...probably only place where you can try all regional iconic burgers - In N Out, White Castle, Shake Shack, Five Guys, and soon to come Whataburger and other fancy ones like Gordon Ramsay burger.
Hi Tim I am so happy you’re back when you make another spectacular vide🧐👍🏻🆒👏😋😋
Thank you so much 🙏
I almost never eat burgers but that burger did look very good. You just said your appetite is back I would not have an appetite again for another 24 hours. When you get older like I am you get filled up with smaller amounts of food and it holds you over for a long time.
Had to turn this off 😮 to much goodies 😅just kidding 🎉Great as usual! Thanks Mr. Lee!
Hi Tim, this is my first time watching your channel and i like it.
By the way, my husband was behind me hearing in n out😅 and he woke up right the way. He saw your shirt asking me if coca cola sponsored it 😅
After this video, I told him we have to try the buffet. We live in Sacramento, California. We can either drive 9 hours or fly in low season.
Thank you for your video 😊😊
lol … What a nice way to wake up! So many great places in Vegas to try, but I must admit, it used to be a lot more affordable before. Thank you so much for reaching out and hope you have an amazing trip.
Love the way you finish your plates, and not waste food.
It doesn't always happen and the dessert plates are a killer to finish. Generally I just take a very small portion of a variety of items 🙂
Great video, thanks Tim!
This buffet looks good, sadly I am usually full from one plate though I do try
Have longer videos Tim - love your videos - want to see you eat ALL the food! xxx
Great intro to the beat there, Tim 🎉!
Thank you so much and greatly appreciated. It took some time😉
Dear Tim, you made me laugh with your description of the red bean ice cream.
Thanks for sharing Tim - nice Vlog once again. Just an idea, maybe you could consider doing a weekend in Reno & Lake Tahoe if you haven't yet featured this area to review the food scene there - Toucan Charlie's Buffet, Peppermill Burger.
I’m getting hungry watching you eat. The food looks great.I haven’t been to Vegas since 2016. I’m overdue, maybe next year.
Frog legs are so common in Oklahoma. Walmart sales them.
I've just found your videos as I'm preparing for taking my first trip to Vegas later this month. I think I've developed a bit of a crush on you 😊 You're a handsome guy and watching/listening to you is very calming - and your smile is contagious.
Anyway, as a solo traveler, I always watch/read/Google as much as I can about the location before I go so that I don't miss anything.
Looking forward to seeing more of your content when I'm preparing for trips!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and wishing you a safe and adventurous trip🙂
Hi Tim it’s so great to see you back in Vegas again sharing lots of good videos 🥰 We watched your video featuring the M Resorts Lobster Brunch Buffet. We have been trying to make a reservation but for some reason we are not able to find how and what. I mean no matter how we do it keeps bringing us to Open Table and there is no Anthony’s Steakhouse for brunch in their listings. Is there a special way to make a reservation and where can we find it? I hope you could help us 🥰 Thanks Tim❣️
Did you go to M's website?
Great video Tim! 🎉
Jim, I hope you have had a heavy BRUNCH, and a much awaited yummy dinner 🤤🤤🤤🤤😘
Oh, definitely a lot of eating on these excursions 😉😋
You were funny touching all the fries at different parts of the Fry tray but it doesn't matter since you're by yourself.
You da man though by not putting any ice in your highly carbonated drink. Lol!
Imperial Chinese buffet looks great. I've tried a handful times In n Out, and the fries (animal style and not) have always tasted stale with burgers always lacking salt and pepper seasoning (just mediocre) But I'm sure you will find an excellent hidden burger option while visiting Vegas. Look forward to all you videos!
In n out burger is a good value but their fries are inedible no matter what you do to them. I prefer Freddy’s double California burger with their skinny crispy fries. A few bucks more but well worth it.
tim this is a great review ,that in and out burger looked very good and that price was very reasonable for las vegas ,and the buffet looked excellent ,tim thank you very much for this review
Thank you for suggesting Imperial, I would get lobster and rice to soak up gravy. Not a sushi person, but will get other delicious food.
I'm in Az, so we have In N Out .
"Okay, so Leon timidly recommended the lobster..." 😂
Lobster and fried rice combination, coconut shrimp, crab rangoon, glass noodles (japchae) if they have it. Not keen on the raw seafood dishes. Tempura roll is ok. They need to pressure cook the rib bones. The lobster server was impressed with you, so he (or she) piled your plate with it. The sauce sounds delicious.
The lobster looked lovely!
Love your videos Tim. FYI with sushi, it's generally eatten by putting the entire piece in your mouth with the exception of cones.
Thanks so much! And yeah, I did get a few comments about the proper way to eat sushi😋. Working on that for sure.
Oh wow thank tim for always sharing your videos
Do you have to ask… straight for the lobster!!👍👍
Fair enough 😉
In the UK you can't get yourself, the drinks are behind the counter and the staff get your drink.
Ill definitely try this when i go visit vegas
Classic move...wearing a Coca Cola t-shirt, and getting excited that they have Dr. Pepper LOL. Many of us would do the same Tim 😁
Does Tim own a t-shirt that _isn't_ Coke?
That seabass in butter sauce looks delicious
The food is turned over relatively quickly so it is quite nice.. very fresh 😋
I know I don't like seafood, but every time you get me! I want some so bad now. I always go for chicken and veggies.
Hello Tim Lee Good to see you out about food trip Las Vegas Chinese food looking good yummy & Delicious especially ur favorite lobster 🦞 I’m glad you did enjoy Dinner thank you watching from California 🙏🏼🌹
Thank you so much! And greetings from spain. Here supporting my goddaughter on the world triathlon. Very good seafood and lobster indeed ndt glad to say there is really good seafood here also
🙏🏼🌹
Great information and video
When in Vegas, the No. 1 buffet here is the Bacchanal buffet in Cesar’s Palace, then the Wynn Buffet, The Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan, The Bellagio Hotel Buffet, Seafood buffet Southpoint Casino
Great rankings!
Awesome ! seafood looked great !
omg...defo going here for those chinese stir fried lobsters! do they limit u there? thats the only place i seen in vegas with stir fried lobster AYCE ...is there a seniors discount at imperial buffet? thx
I’ve always wondered how you stay so lean when you eat at these buffets ! You must so intermittent fasting. The food looks amazing as always, the portion size’s are definitely generous, the sushi looks so awesome and so does the lobster. Delicious 😋
Your Diet Coke thought process is exactly the same as mine! I would fill up on lobsters and grilled oysters first, then sashimi and shrimp.
Yeah…lobster and oyster first😋
Tim, I saw that Crocs sells Coca-Cola branded clogs if you want to up your Coke game 😀
Very nice and reasonable buffet .
Stick with the lobster, fried rice, and shrimp, check, check and check. I'm ready for my Las Vegas vacation next month.
Great as always!!!
Thank you so much 🙏
Happy Sunday! Great video as always. Would you do more vegetarian videos? I’d love to see some! (I don’t eat meat)
WHAT??? DIET COKE??? Non sense!!!! When I have Coke, I want the full effect!!! I am so glad you made this video. Not enough people make videos like this. Las Vegas keeps changing all the time. That area you walked through was not there the last time I was in Las Vegas. The food at that buffet, I felt like crying it was so beautiful!!! It has a deep sense of grace and elegance. Rice. Yes, always. It soaks up the sauces, as you said. Now I know what is there at this time. I will head to that buffet. If I see Leon, I'll tell him, "Mr. Lee sent me."
Thank you so much! Vegas is always nice and yeah, the Diet Coke thing was a bit of a gag🤣. All the best to you and yours in the coming new year.
I’m normally too full for dessert anyway. Great video !
Thank you! Definitely a lower priority for desserts here, but still very good
I'm a local and was not impressed with the Imperial buffet. Crab legs were small and the lobster was in small pieces. They didn't stock either product very well. I will not return.
Imperial is not great. Live up the road so had to try it.. not returning. Much better food around town 😊
