Wazuzu — Restaurant in Paradise

Wazuzu Restaurant is an absolute gem that has left me thoroughly amazed by its exceptional dining experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the vibrant ambiance, impeccable service, and, above all, the extraordinary flavors that graced my palate.

The decor was a tasteful combination of contemporary chic and alluring Asian elements that instantly captivated my attention. The ambiance was alive with excitement, creating an atmosphere of anticipation that promised a memorable culinary journey. One of the most impressive features of the restaurant was a stunning Crystal Dragon that served as the centerpiece of the entire establishment. This magnificent masterpiece was a true testament to the rich mythology of East Asia and its intricate craftsmanship was truly awe-inspiring. The Crystal Dragon was a definite showstopper that added an unparalleled wow factor to the overall dining experience.

The Chilean Sea Bass glazed with Miso is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to pushing gastronomic boundaries. From the very first bite, it's clear that every detail has been meticulously considered. The miso glaze imparts a glossy sheen to the perfectly cooked sea bass, promising a burst of flavors that mirror the visual allure. The glaze strikes an impeccable balance between the natural sweetness of the fish and the depth of the miso, resulting in a harmonious fusion that is utterly divine. The sea bass itself is cooked to perfection, with a tender and flaky texture that practically melts in your mouth. Each forkful is a luxurious experience, with the miso glaze serving as the ideal complement to the natural qualities of the fish. For seafood enthusiasts and anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary journey, Wazuzu's Chilean Sea Bass with Miso Glaze is an absolute must-try. This dish exemplifies the essence of modern fusion cuisine—bold yet harmonious, innovative yet rooted in tradition.

I had the pleasure of trying the famous Drunken Noodle dish at Wazuzu which attracted visitors from all over the world to experience Thai cuisine. The dish was elevated to a level of perfection that I had never experienced before. Wazuzu's Drunken Noodles are a delightful experience that will take your taste buds to a world of bold and savory flavors.The dish features flat rice noodles stir-fried with an array of vibrant and mouthwatering ingredients. The star of the show is the savory sauce that coats the noodles, infusing them with an irresistible umami flavor. The name "Drunken Noodles" may suggest a connection to alcohol, but it actually refers to the dish's spicy kick that is believed to be a perfect cure for a hangover. The heat from the chili peppers and the complex blend of spices can be invigorating and leave a pleasantly lingering warmth. The dish includes a medley of ingredients that contribute to its distinctive taste and texture. Proteins like chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu, alongside an array of fresh vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and Thai basil leaves. The vegetables provide a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft noodles. One of the highlights of Wazuzu's Drunken Noodles is the sauce. It's a harmonious blend of savory, salty, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. The sauce clings to the noodles and ingredients, ensuring that each bite is bursting with an explosion of taste sensations.

My family and I visited Las Vegas in August 2018 - the main impetus for taking this trip was to take my younger sister to the Grand Canyon for the first time and to eat at some of the restaurants on the strip. We were staying the Palazzo and mostly went to restaurants inside the hotel and neighboring hotels. I was keen to check out Wazuzu because of the great reviews I read online prior to this trip; we went to Wazuzu early on during our vacation and ended up going there four times for dinner from my recollection - the food was that good(!).

I remember I was in a great mood during this trip as several different work-streams I had facilitated at my old corporate job were building further momentum. I recall all of the positive feedback that my direct manager gave me during my annual review meeting to discuss the work I had done the previous year; she had conveyed to me on behalf of my “Big Boss” and “Big Brother” that they were very pleased with my work and I was awarded company shares (which I still haven’t redeemed). Life was great - I was learning and earning while building solid working relationships with many people across the organization. These work-streams gained even further momentum over the years - it was great to be surrounded by people who took pride in helping me learn and grow. I took baby steps to learn and eventually refined my skills and gained knowledge to grow further - this is what I kept doing and this is how I operate. There are no shortcuts to success and in my mind, there is no such thing as reward without effort - I put in the hours and made gradual progress over the years. I knew what I brought to the table and knew I was capable of so much more. As the old adage goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

Speaking of fish, let’s talk about the food at Wazuzu!

Since we went so many times, we were able to try quite a few different items on the menu; some of the dishes we tried were the Baked King Crab Roll, the Jade Dumplings, the Roti Panang, their famous Drunken Noodles (which we ordered multiple times and we tried all three varieties) and the Panang Curry. The food is quite spicy so I would caution you from ordering anything that is above “Medium” in terms of spice level. The Thai Crepe is amazing and we made it a point to order it each time we visited even though we were stuffed by the time we had to order dessert.

While my family members and I are not interested in visiting Vegas anytime soon, we do have fond memories of our many visits to...

After much high praise from a friend by the name of Eddy, who is a consistent patron of this establishment, I was finally able to attend dinner myself. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anybody in the Las Vegas area!

As for drinks, I had the "Land of Smiles" cocktail. It was very enjoyable from the presentation alone to the refreshing, and fruity taste to a whiskey and bourbon drink. I tend to like my alcohol stronger, this drink was very delightful and not crazy sweet like these drinks tend to be. For Appetizer, I had the "Pan Fried Soup Dumplings" with pork, shrimp, and cabbage as recommended by the waiter. The outside of this soup dumpling was crispy on the edges and soft and tender on the inside. It was amazing! The black pepper broth was so flavorful as well as the pork inside. Highly recommend. For the main course I tried the "Drunken Noodles with Shrimp" and the Panang Curry. The noodles were wonderfully soft and tender with nice spice and juicy shrimp that complimented their sauce wonderfully. The Curry was itself absolutely amazing with a subtle spice and fresh greens to compliment and mix with chicken and curry sauce. The bread served with this dish has a very slight sweetness in the back of the flavor profile that wonderfully compliments the spice of the jalapenos and the faint sweetness of the coconut curry sauce. I wish rice came with it instead of needing to order it on the side but either way it is not a necessity, more of a personal preference. For dessert, the "Pineapple Vanilla Soft Serve". After seeing someone else with it, The presentation alone drew me to get it myself. On top of the soft serve sit small lime cookie squares that are amazing with this sorbet. Perfectly semi-sweet without being a dry inconvenience for an ice cream topping. In addition are refreshing pineapple chunks that fall apart in your mouth. Overall an incredibly high recommendation.

As for service, the waiter himself was very helpful in helping us choose what to eat, as well as making sure our water was always filled and offered a refill on my drink all the time!

Aesthetically, this restaurant both inside and out have an appealing flashy yet elegant Asian influenced decor and architecture. Definitely...
