Guest reviews & verified fee notes for Wicked Spoon Brunch Buffet at The Cosmopolitan
Las Vegas Strip dining checks carry 8.375% Clark County sales tax; select resort operators also add a 3%–5% concession or administrative surcharge before gratuity.
Atmosphere was very nice. At the time we went it was 49.99 for breakfast. We got there right when it opened at 8:30 a.m. Some of the food options were really good and other options were not so great. Sadly we were not very impressed by the sushi. The carving station meat was a little bit on the dry side. The fried chicken and waffle was fantastic as well as the mussels, the Asian-style noodles were great as well. They had a made-to-order omelet station, which I did not partake in but did look like everyone who did partake in it was enjoying it. The service was okay but also could be better. Our drinks in general were not filled up as quickly as we would like. We kept seeing reviews about crab legs online but unfortunately they apparently do not serve crab legs until after 10 a.m. so we did not get to partake in that.
Wicked Spoon was delicious! They have an amazing selection of gelato, and I especially enjoyed their very tasty Asian-inspired section. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. I also love that many of their dishes are served in smaller portions, which makes it easy to sample a variety of different foods without feeling overwhelmed. The service was another highlight—everyone was very attentive, friendly, and welcoming. There were so many delicious options to choose from, and we really enjoyed being able to try a little bit of everything. Definitely a great buffet experience!
Buffets are a Vegas tradition and Wicked Spoon is a great choice if you want to go all in. Great variety and curation so you get the flavor and the quantity. I love the plated options so you don’t waste the food. The snow crab legs, crayfish, fried chicken and grilled meat options were awesome. Dessert choices were also fantastic. Great value for money and highly recommended !
I think this is one of the best buffets I've been to anywhere, and I have no idea why it's only averaging 4.1 stars on google maps. This is absolutely 5/5 to me. Here's the thing, which might help people understand if it fits what they're looking for: It's clear to me Wicked Spoon was designed with a philosophy of "Quality over Quantity". This is not the largest buffet in Vegas... in fact far from it, it's on the smaller side. Caesar's Palace buffet is probably 4x larger. But Wicked Spoon is way way better than Caesars. Basically, I liked 75% of my dishes at Wicked Spoon, where at Caesars it was only like maybe 30%. Also another thing I like about their design philosophy here: the small portions of the container sizes for each dish. That might sound weird to some people for a buffet, but I think it's great so it helps you control the quantity of each dish... which then allows you to try a larger variety! Again... quality over quantity. Oh final note, I recommend making reservations for 10:30am or earlier. Both times I came here, the line looks like it starts getting packed around 11:00am. Highly recommend, and I'll look to come back anytime I visit Vegas!
Just waited an hour on Sunday at 11am, sitting until closing. The food is very fresh. Limited Asian food. Dessert is very good. The gelato section is huge and love the strwberry with chocolate. Not so many fresh seafood option, but crab legs are very fresh and nice. Last one, I love the bone mallow! I never see anywhere showing in buffet.
