Interesting approach to serving

by rue227

Overall, the food is decent for this overpriced, style over quality sushi joint (what else would you expect from wolfgang puck). The decor is great and bartenders are friendly. Unfortunately, my family had a run-in with a very unpleasant waiter who was too impatient to let us decide what we were ordering, while also being inexperienced enough to not know the difference between small and large maki roll sizes. While this point of information may sound esoteric to your standard jack in the box employee, any hole in the wall japanese restaurant waiter must have his knowledge ready. If you end up with the waiter J.T., head for the hills, or at least a more affordable, pleasant dinner elsewhere.

NOT GOOD AT ALL

by exeldent

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF WOLFGANG PUCK, BUT OUR EXPERIENCE AT CHINOIS REALLY DISSAPOINTED ME. THE HOSTESS AND SERVERS WERE REALLY NICE AND EFFICIENT. MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE FOOD. WE HAD WONTON SOUP, SPRING ROLLS (VERY GREASY), POTSTICKERS (ALSO VERY GREASY), SESAME CHICKEN (DECENT), FIRECRACKER SHRIMP (DECENT). THE FRIED RICE WAS DRY AND TASTELESS (A VERY SMALL BOWL PORTION FOR THE TABLE, FOR $14.95) AND I HAD TO GIVE BACK THE LO MEIN (LIKE A MOUTHFUL OF SALT). AS A MATTER OF FACT, ALL THE FOOD WAS VERY SALTY. IN GENERAL, FOR THE PRICES, YOU CAN GET MUCH BETTER CHINESE FOOD AT A FAST FOOD TAKEOUT PLACE. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY GOING HERE. TRY ONE OF THE OTHER GOOD CHINESE RESTAURANTS IN VEGAS LIKE JASMINE OR JADE GARDEN. VERY DISSAPOINTING FOOD IN A VERY NICE ATMOSPHERE. PLEASE AVOID.

• Pros: AMBIENCE, SERVICE
• Cons: POOR FOOD

good ramen and stir fry's

by hawaiifoodie

Food is great and drinks are good (no hangar one vodka:-( )Service, however, was quite slow. Wolfgang has a great location and would be better off spending more on staffing in the kitchen. The wait help looked on with baited breath as we all awaited our appetizers and main dish.

• Pros: Great food flavors even in uneventful dishes such as ramen.
• Cons: Slow kitchen service while wait staff stood helpless
