Genting Palace

What it lacks in choices, the Genting Palace dinner buffet makes up in quality of the dishes served. It might have been the best tasting Chinese seafood buffet I've ever had, especially for the price.Genting Palace is the fine dining Cantonese restaurant in Resort World, located in the Northern half of the Las Vegas Strip. My brother saw an influencer video about their Chinese New Years buffet, where they served mussels with black bean sauce which was raved about. So since some of us were staying at Resort World, we decided to make it our late dinner date on Sunday night (buffet only available from Wed to Sun with Fri, Sat, Sun being the seafood buffet).Traffic was light, so we arrive early and checked in. We got seated near our prescribed time, in a comfortable booth near the buffet station. Genting Palace is beautiful inside, with the place setting and plates giving it a very elegant feel...first time I remember when two pairs of chopsticks are given (one to grab food from the family style plates and one to use to eat), along with a fork. All four of us chose the buffet ($60.88 each), not including beverage (all you can drink wine package is available for additional $40). We just drank ice water which goes great with seafood.It's a small buffet which encourages sampling, and constant turnover on dishes. It's been going for a bit, so thinking they are focusing on the best sellers. Unfortunately, the black mussels dish was not available, but many of the other dishes seen on the video were. Everything was really good.Pacific Oysters - super fresh, expertly shucked, sweet with brininess and perfect with the accompanying mignonette. I'm very hesitant on eating raw oysters at any AYCE, but this turned out really well...probably ate 12 by myself.Sampan Lobster - Maine lobster chopped up in the shell, battered and wok-fried with chilis. Kept really well under the heat lamps, and was often replenished because it was popular. It does require a fair bit of work to extract the edible pieces, so getting meatier pieces when filling your plate is worth the initial effort.Whelks - sea snails steamed and served chilled, without seasoning. Reminds me a lot in taste to conch. Loved that this was available here, and I definitely ate my fill.Raw Scallops on the half shell with seaweed salad - another great dish, with the chewiness of the seafood going great with the sweetness of the raw scallops.Jumbo cocktail shrimp, presliced Snow crab legs - plenty of it, always filled up. Strangely, they did NOT have melted butter.They also had a dim-sum station with shrimp shumai, a bao station (with Peking duck and pork belly as filling), freshly sliced fruits, fried rice, fried udon noodles, chinese green beans with fish cakes and sausage, braised beef brisket, The Peking duck was very good...no gaminess at all, and perfectly sliced to provide the right texture for baos. The one soup (Westlake style minced beef) was really good, like a clear egg drop soup with ground Wagyu beef. I did sample each of them and recognized how good each was, but for me it's about the seafood and any sort of lobster dish gets my undivided attention. Service was good with used plate being cleared immediately, which encouraged a lot of trips to the buffet to get small, controlled portions. Because most of the food required more action at the table before eating, it naturally produced a slowing down effect as I ate....though because I ate the most, I ended up being the last to finish my meal. But as we looked at each other as we leaned back, we silently nodded to each other, acknowledging that we just had a really great (and value centric) meal.

We recently visited Genting for their buffet, and unfortunately, it was not a great experience and certainly not worth the visit. The buffet section was quite small with limited choices. For seafood, they only had crab legs, raw oysters, shrimp, and snail. There were hot food options such as dim sum, rice, and noodles for non-seafood eaters. However, it was extremely overpriced given the limited food selection.While the interior was nice and not too crowded, the overall food quality was just okay. Based on this experience, we will not be returning to Genting, not even for their regular menu.

I heard a lot about the Lunar New Year buffet and since we were in Vegas during LNY, I knew I had to try this over other buffets.The lunch buffet will set you back $128 per person. It is very pricey, but the level of service and luxury does match that somewhat.You can make a reservation on Opentable and prepay. You get to select a table number which meant nothing to me at the time. But you do get seated in their nice booth table options, which is significantly nicer than the tables in the middle of the dining room.There aren't like 200 options like the Bacchanal, but all the options are pretty upscale. There were two sections of the buffet, one in main dining room and the other in the bar.There was a table with some appetizer options. I quite liked the gazpacho, which was a great palate cleanser.The seafood section had a variety - oysters, shrimp cocktail, scallops, and crab -served with 3 different sauces. I recommend the mignonette or cocktail sauce. The green goddess sauce was very overwhelming and rich.The main course section had stir fried lobster, a couple of stir fries, a fried rice, a fried noodle, and a soup. The carving station had crispy pork belly and peking duck, served with traditional garnishes and fluffy buns.In the bar, there is a sushi counter where the super nice and eager chef will make nigiri or sashimi on request. There was tuna, salmon, yellowtail, red snapper, toro, shrimp, and tamago. The sushi was amazing and I wish I discovered it before the other seafood. The other main courses in the bar section consisted of a carving station with lamb chops (served with au jus), cauliflower gratin, lobster bisque, and a variety of dim sum (har gow, truffle dumplings, etc). The dim sum was quite good, but because it was filling, I didn't get seconds.Lastly, there was a center table with a nice variety of desserts. Small enough to be eaten in a couple of bites. I tried one of everything and they were all quite delicious.The buffet comes with a choice of non-alcoholic drink, and you can add on all you can drink to for some amount that I forget.Service was great. Very attentive but not intrusive. The buffet items were filled frequently.Definitely recommend this if you're into seafood, don't mind paying a lot for a very quiet buffet experience. You never have to wait in line for crab legs or get elbowed by an aggressive grandma trying to hoard the lobster.

I went to try their Lunar New Year Dim Sun (and more) brunch today. It's a pricey meal but it was worth it.I got a call earlier reminding me of my reservation. I had the wrong time on my calendar and she offered to change it which she did. My reservation was for 11:15 and I was waiting on one of their benches at 11. You work in a school all your life, you live by the clock and are on time! AT about 11:10, she looked at me and asked if I was Mr. Kresge. When Is aid yes, she asked if I wanted to be seated then. What a lovely and friendly start to a wonderful brunch.She took me to a regular table which had been set for one person. First, she pointed out the different food stations. The restaurant is a very bright and elegant. Before I went to one of the stations, a server came and asked me what I wanted to drink. You want alcohol, you get it. I asked for a diet Coke and I got that. Then I went to get some food.I did things out of order, but it didn't matter. I went to the seafood and carving area first. I got some braised dried oyster with black moss. I got some shrimp, some whelks, some special lobster, and some pork belly. I went back to my table and enjoyed all of those choices.The second trip, I went to the appetizer area. There I got some heirloom beets with goat cheese and a tomato gazpacho shooter. It made a good small course before the rest was gotten.I went back to the carving area and got some roast duck, a wing roll, some scallops in their shells, and a whelk. Everything was top notch and I used the roll like a Vietnamese banh mi for the duck slices. I also got an abalone dish which was very good. Very tasty.Then it was time to go to the sim sum area. I got a some siu mai, some black truffle lobster dumplings, and a sesame ball. I had to make another trip back and I got some California roll sushi, more siu mai and lobster dumplings, and a piece of Chinese New Year rice cake. One more item was abalone with sticky rice lotus leaf wraps. There were men in this area that had roasted lamb and one who had fresh fish for any sushi roll you'd ask for almost. I also got one meat dumplingAfter finishing that plate and sitting for a while, it was time for dessert. A red velvet French style macaron, blackberry chamomile custard, an egg tart, and an orange pastry was just right.Service was outstanding. When I came back one time, the rest of my Coke had been poured in my glass and the bottle was gone. This was done while I was away from the table. People working the stations were very pleasant. It made a wonderful Lunar New Year brunch. I think now I'll try their buffet which is ongoing. The Lunar New Year brunch is only for 5 days.Fantastic!

It would be 0/5 if Yelp has this option! Getting Away from this Place is more than appropriate name for this place. Avoid this place at all cost, unless you really want to pay $18 for a bowl (8 oz) of mediocre lukewarm hot and sour soup beside bland entrees. Our total bill for 3 person was $317.69 included $50 tip. It was totally underwhelmed and overpriced for a place named Resorts World. 5/5: for decor since they have various shades of my favorite color, green. 2/3: for overall services. Our party of three came in for dinner on Thursday, 12/26. They were really pushing us for the seafood buffet, I couldn't recall if it's $50 or $60 per person. We didn't because the selection was limited and sad: mussel and escargot were on ice, no additional seafood of any kind. Other entries were mostly covered in sauce looking soggy due to sitting out for too long. We asked for soy sauce, chili oil, and chili paste since everything were so bland; we were half way through our food until these condiments came out after we reminded them twice. The place wasn't busy at all between 6-7:30pm. 1/5: for overall food quality and taste. Sichuan Hot And Sour Soup, 18.00, 8oz: they didn't offer big bowl family style to share so we decided to only get a bowl to see if we liked it. I'm so glad we only got one. It's a crime to charge this much for 8oz of mediocre soup, even for a place located inside the casino on the strip! Walnut Prawn, $42: 8 prawns, nice presentation with the dragon fruit. The coating was light and pleasantly soft hints of sweetness, yet lack of outer light crisp. Pea Sprouts, $28: came out overcooked, yet cold at the same time. How ironic!Short Ribs with five spices, $88: no taste whatsoever. Truffle Fried Rice, $36: nice truffle flavored, yet so bland. Honig Sauv Blanc Napa 375, $35.00: they treated us like we have no idea what wine is. The individual bowl to eat is so deep, about 3.25 inch and smaller on the top that it was super challenging to got food out of it using chopsticks. It's such poor design and planning!We understand the traditions of Cantonese cuisine are lighter and simpler in taste, yet, except the walnut prawn, all our food weren't bland and lacked seasoning.We will not coming back for any reasons and will tell everyone we know to spend their money elsewhere. You do have a walk quite a bit outside of the diner to use a restroom.

Back again for dinner tonight! Food was delicious & out server was great. Unfortunately there were some bickering amongst employees? Ambiance was definitely bad due to that. A cussing match in front of the patrons probably isn't a good idea. Has service quality gone down here? Very unfortunate

Let me vent on this their buffet. Don't waste your money!!!!! Not worth the price. Crab legs cold!!! Choices minimal. Sweet sour pork had bones in the pork!! This buffet should not be in existence. This buffet is not worth it. They don't provide unlimited soft drinks at 68 bucks plus they expect a tip!! All the you tubers who did a vlog must have gotten a free meal because this buffet is not good. Also buyer be ware the self parking is a trek no serious a trek!! So if you elderly or somebody with a physical issue drop not good. Ambiance I give 5 stars. Staff very nice.Overall super dissatisfied and disappointed for such a high end restaurant!! Truth!!!!

We made reservations two weeks in advance for the Genting Palace Lunar New Year buffet, and it was absolutely worth it. At $128 per person (not including tax and gratuity), the quality of the food was exceptional. The king crab, pre-cut down the middle for easy eating, was a standout, along with the lobster and Peking duck. The buffet may not be massive, but the food quality is unmatched. The sushi area had incredibly fresh fish, and the desserts were both varied and delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly, constantly replenishing the food and keeping everything tidy. The inside is very nice and the decor really stands out.

Solid 2.5 / 5 stars. Not much to say here. Nice ambiance, most of the available food is actually good, and staff is really nice. But there is so little to choose from it's just not worth it. At $70 / person there needs to be waaaaaay more options. You're better off going to Bacchanal for this price point.

Ambiance: 4.5/5Service 5/5Food 3.5/5My wife and I opted for the all you can eat seafood buffet and were a little disappointed at both the selection and the quality. For this price point ($89/each) it needs to be really good. Instead it was merely adequate. I'm not sure if it was a mistake or not but usually buffets include soft drinks. I was charged separately for each iced tea. I probably wouldn't go there again. No photos because nothing really stood out.
