They keep trying to sound the death knell for buffets, but new ones just keep showing up. The latest comes from Genting Palace at Resorts World. This isn\u2019t a dedicated buffet\u2014there\u2019s full menu service in the restaurant\u2014but the buffet is available daily except Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday it\u2019s $50.88 and Friday through Sunday it\u2019s $60.88, with several seafood selections added. Unlimited wine is optional for $35\/$40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Venue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located inside the massive Resorts World resort, Genting Palace is one of the many fine-dining restaurants that sit directly off the casino floor. It\u2019s a high-end place with high-end service and all ages are welcome. We went with a 13-year-old birthday boy, who received a small cake with a candle, gratis.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We went on a Sunday for the more expensive seafood selection. Upon entering the restaurant, the buffet doesn\u2019t look very impressive and most of the customers are ordering off the menu, so there aren\u2019t any lines. Don\u2019t be dissuaded. There aren\u2019t dozens of selections, but there doesn\u2019t need to be. And the absence of lines is a definite plus. The cold seafood line-up is a good one\u2014medium shrimp, snow crab, raw oysters, scallops, and whelks. What are whelks? They\u2019re sea snails (you can pick them out from the photo below). There\u2019s also a big selection of fresh fruit. The steam trays are all labeled: braised pork brisket, shrimp fried rice, seafood noodle, mussels in black bean sauce, siu mai, minced beef soup. At the end of the serving line is the Peking duck. A server carves it for you and the crepes and accompaniments are there for you to prepare as you like. Among those accompaniments is the hoisin sauce that goes with the duck, but strangely, it\u2019s the only sauce available. No chili sauce, not even soy, you have to request those from your server (there\u2019s cocktail sauce for the seafood). It\u2019s a buffet, go back as often as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a good one. The skinny snow crab was somewhat disappointing, but the rest of the seafood made up for it. The Peking duck ain\u2019t no Wing Lei at Wynn, but you also won\u2019t find that at any other buffet that we know of. Our favorites from the trays were the mussels and the soup. Drinks aren\u2019t included and a Monkey Picked Oolong Tea was $8 additional. It was a perfect outing for our birthday scenario and we\u2019d have to call it a bargain, given the near-$90 price tags at the gourmet buffets. We didn\u2019t do the wine add-on, but will when we go back to try the non-seafood version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
