Team Food Hall. I think they're generally safer and cleaner. Also, the food tends to be of better quality.

[@pauline5115]

Team buffet Going to Vegas next week for birthday. Your channel is incredibly helpful in finding fun food places. Any recommendations for desserts and cake?

[@karmas_coming]

Team buffet all the way all day!!! I like a bit of everything and a lot of something that I really enjoy! I'm in heaven if a buffet has a traditional thanksgiving dinner.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Sometimes, I just want range and variety over the very best of something. I'm glad fellow buffet enthusiasts feel like me! Thanks for watching!

[@pippilongstocking.]

another good video Shin

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you very much!

[@jadehom8067]

Great video..a shame not all the food was up to par 😢...glad you enjoyed some of the selections you chose 👍...have a great week 😘🤗❤

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, it's difficult having consistently good offerings with every dish at a buffet. But I still overall had a good meal and would still recommend anyone who's coming to downtown and looking for a buffet experience to check it out. Thanks for watching!

[@laurablassberg8559]

I’d enjoy seeing what the dinner buffet is like. Think it’s very affordable for lunch/Brunch. Ty for the review.

[@VegaswithShin]

I vlogged the dinner service a little over a year ago and I enjoyed it! I think the menu is pretty similar from then but could be some differences. Thanks for watching!

My Dad and Sister used to love that place. I haven’t been there for many many years . I loved the little round Portuguese sausage they have with eggs and the Hawaiian section. It’s a beautiful place.

Thanks for giving us a look at the more affordable food inVegas! Some hits, some misses!! Appreciate your honesty!!

[@VegaswithShin]

Plenty more where that came from, especially as my series in downtown continues! Just so much more value on Fremont than the strip. Thanks for watching!

[@s.jensen1492]

For the price point I think the breakfast alone was well worth the price!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! I would definitely go back for a lot of that breakfast! Still probably the best waffle I've had at a buffet. Thanks for watching!

[@missybaker1608]

I've been watching you for awhile Shin! You're comments on taste, seasoning, makes me cautious of what to get but I'll try it. Love this Garden Court Buffet! Beautiful interior! Love all the food looks so good. Tge over medium egg sounds good, canned corned beef hash I like it, sausage disappointing bland I love spice like you! Potatoes disappointing too. I love French toast and waffles. Strawberry compote and maple syrup. Delicious. I would get scrambled eggs , bacon, French toast with maple syrup!!! Lunch was disappointing to me but I'm glad chicken fried steak saved that plate!!! Pizza I agree need to taste seasoned sauce and crisp colored crust. Have to have butter flavor in the biscuit. WHAT MAC N CHEESE NO FLAVOR? THAT WOULD BE VERY DISAPPOINTING TO ME. THE HAWAIIAN PLATE WAS EXCELLENT I GUESS. The kuloah? pork looked good to me on the buffet, the chicken looked good as well too! Beef Stew looks very good! Yams not a fan but they looked good. My favorites chocolate pudding and banana cream pie!!!! I love all cakes and pies though. Great review Shin. This is a nice buffet clean and food looks delicious!!!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, I really like the Garden Court. The price is right, there are good dishes, and I've never left hungry. I like it there. Thanks for watching!

[@frankcarone6]

great review ,the food looked mediocre ,but it is piced well for las vegas ,i do love your honesty and your channel

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! You really can't! I enjoyed every dish from the Hawaiian section. They were all really tasty! Thanks for watching!

​@@VegaswithShin Hawaiian beef stew is usually tomato sauce/paste based with large pieces of carrots, potatoes, celery and meat chunks with dried bay leaves.. some variations add sugar.

I liked the decor as it appears warm, cozy and inviting. I was very impressed with the cleanliness at the buffet area. A lot better than I have seen in other buffets lines. The Hawaiian meal looked delicious and what a nice surprise for the waffle and French toast to be tasty. Thank you as always! Enjoyed the video.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Very cozy and inviting. I love the vibe here. Couple of misses but overall I enjoyed myself. Thanks for watching!

[@jadelynn1703]

So happy plate 3 was a redeemer. Seems like the "kiddie section" is best to be avoided . I'd be interested in seeing the dinner buffet here as well, if you're able to! Awesome and honest review Shin! ^_^

[@VegaswithShin]

Hawaiian food was excellent! I did vlog the dinner service about a year and a half ago and it was good! I enjoyed myself. Thanks for watching!

Food Hall can’t eat too much at once also don’t love the idea of serving my own food but this buffet looks cleaner than most! Thanks!

Love buffets! I like the presentation of the foods. Main Street sounds like a great place for the non-adventurous to try. The Hawaiian foods looked the best. 😋

[@VegaswithShin]

Lots of options that I'm sure you can find something you enjoy eating. The Hawaiian section was best for me. Thanks for watching!

I Miss the brisket and ham hocks / black eye peas during lunch . Plus all the Asian and mexican sections .

That sounds awesome! I didn't really frequent this buffet prior to the pandemic so I don't know how it used to be. Thanks for watching!

[@tfsonicyouth88]

The breakfast plate looked all delicious . The beef stew is so good I love how main street makes sure the Hawaiian dishes remain tasty and well made. Love the review shin❤ Chocolate pudding is life

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! The Hawaiian influence in downtown is very noticeable and I'm definitely for it! Thanks for watching!

[@lisah5784]

I am so glad I found this video. We'll be coming out for the first time in years next month and Main Street station was on our list for sure. What are difference. The food used to be so good and it looks great and it tastes great and now it looks like 💩😆

[@VegaswithShin]

There were still good dishes here and it could have just been an off day when it comes to the pasta dishes. I overall still enjoyed my meal. Thanks for watching!

[@lu_to_the_wanna]

That's the last buffet downtown. For many many years it was the only comps my Mom got so we ate there every time! Decent buffet for the price, but not super delicious. It's pretty amazing how the people of Hawaii have influenced the cuisine choices downtown. Across the street at the Cal is Aloha Specialties. Go get the best won ton min Vegas offers!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, lots of Hawaiian influence in the downtown space, and I'm a fan for it! Really enjoyed the Hawaiian dishes at the buffet. Thanks for watching!

[@stevekckm7879]

😊😊I have eaten at the Garden Court since the 1990s. The only thing that has changed is the price and the fact dinner is served only on Friday and Saturday but the have added prime rib. Only buffet downtown and is still worth the price.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! I'll be going back to try out the prime rib for dinner soon! I hope it's good. Thanks for watching!

[@VegaswithShin]

Me too! I like it here. Thanks for watching!

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

Thanks for the detailed review. It looks like the cooks at the Garden Court Buffet can't cook macaroni. When I was there, the Hawaiian section was my favorite. It's a bit of a disappointing review but I think it's still a good deal if you stay away from the pasta station.

[@VegaswithShin]

Everything else I had was fine! Still the best waffles and French toast I've had at a buffet in a while too. Overall still enjoyed myself here. Thanks for watching!

[@ski9600]

That chicken noodle soup looked really nice with the fancy noodles. Many of the other items looked good also. Some were obvs not scratch made. I'd try to focus on the scratch made ones (like all/most of the Hawaii section) and many others. Not sure on the biscuits, but the chicken fried steak and the gravy looked like prepared foods that weren't scratch made. Nice video, like to see your smile when something is tasty.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, it was a mix of premade and made from scratch for sure. Appreciate you watching! Thanks!

[@johnkim163]

Before Covid, the beef stew was Oxtail stew and it was a killer. Sadly it is only available in the coffee shop at the California

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, I've heard a lot about the oxtail soup. I'll have to try it when I check out the California. Thanks for watching!

[@anthonyandteresacroteau7704]

They get an A for cleanliness and presentation. The food, even though not everything hit the mark was acceptable and not out of character for a buffet. For the price I think they are doing an above average job. Another one well done as always. Look forward to your next adventure.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Great for the price and I was very happy with the cleanliness as well. Thanks for watching!

[@nebraskaryan9308]

What’s up Shin. What is your favorite restaurant in Vegas? Thanks for posting. The mac and cheese comment was hilarious 😂😂😂

My favorite restaurant in Vegas is McDonald's and I'm not saying that facetiously. But if we're talking about the strip, Bazaar Meats ranks very highly for me. Thanks for watching Ryan!

[@mreppen1]

How was the sausage patty? I may have missed it. Pizza looked like frozen De Dinero’s. Overall decent I guess. I love chick fried steak and gravy, omg. That one looks good.

[@VegaswithShin]

I didn't try the sausage patty this time around. Just the round rope sausage and the bacon. I still had a good meal. I recommend this place for anyone staying downtown and looking for an all you can eat option. Thanks for watching!

I wouldn't say it's the best in Vegas but I did have some very good dishes. I think their dinner service is better than the brunch. Thanks GL!

Most buffets have weak dishes. Most of what you liked are the things I would choose. The price is good, so maybe.

[@VegaswithShin]

It's the cheapest buffet in the Vegas tourist spaces and you will definitely get full. I like their weekend dinner buffet much more than their brunch. Thanks for watching!

[@lisaj5835]

I love the food halls but always go to one really good buffet. When I went to this one, I liked the cornbread, just the cornbread. I am a Wicked Spoon fan!

[@VegaswithShin]

LOL yes! I think Wicked Spoon is easily a few notches above Main Street Station. Thanks for watching!

[@YouUsAndAI]

And your face when eating the penne. LOLLLLL But I'm all for a place that can cook up a good chicken fried steak!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Yes, the chicken fried steak was so good! It could have just been an off day with the pasta. Thanks for watching!

[@YouUsAndAI]

Okay, good to know, thank you!!@@VegaswithShin

[@mikeymutual5489]

Good to see the low-end buffets reviewed. This could be a nice alternative to going to some chain restaurant for lunch, however, the value proposition is not nearly as good as it should be. Considering all of this food either comes in frozen or is from a can (including the chocolate pudding), this buffet should *never* be more than $20 for lunch or $25 for dinner. At the prices they are charging, this food is simply not good enough. So NO, this place is not well-worth it.

[@VegaswithShin]

I'm with you on that. $20 for brunch would feel a lot more fair, but as the last all you can eat buffet in downtown, if one is looking for pure variety and quantity, Main Street does the job. Thanks for watching Mike!

[@nealxl6256]

I went here last time I was in LV. The salad station was really good and the apple crepe was amazing. But other than that, I didn’t think the buffet was that good and definitely not worth the money

[@VegaswithShin]

I feel you. For me, sometimes there's just more value to quantity with range/variety and a buffet fills that need for me. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmichniak127]

I am glad someone feels the same way I do! Before Covid, this buffet was good and at a good price. I was there this past Augest for their lunch buffet and it had doubled in price and was by far the worst Las Vegas buffet I had post Covid. I talked to the servers and the seating staff and they said many of their customers feel the same way!

@@VegaswithShin my brother I am a classically trained chef. And the quality of these two buffets suck. They are just cheap. But I'm going to be honest with you we actually like the brunch buffet that they have every day at the Excalibur. Our Fav is WYNN Buffet st dinner. And seriously if you live Sushi Seafood you must try the Japanese buffet Makino at dinner (omg) my teen daughters as soon as we get to Vegas are like "Dad Makino" lol now I go back and forth living between Los Angeles and Vegas. My daughter was raised eating all kinds of food. I actually know the owner of Makino in the 80s he owned a chain Japanese sushi and seafood buffets in CA. Also we tried Imperial Sushi Seafood buffet and it was good but the Sushi selection was not as big as Makino and after a couple rounds it all tasted the same. But I hear Imperial has a new owner and it's gotten better. So we are going to give it another try soon. But for sure my friend you must try Makino buffet at dinner soon.

[@VegaswithShin]
