I wish these Crispy Brussel Sprouts didn’t have to stay in Vegas
Wazuzu
Wynn, Las Vegas
👀 Located near the Encore casino, you won’t miss it because it’s decor is all red!! Lucky red. This restaurant is super popular with the gamers. ‘Wazuzu’ means "nine dragons" in Chinese, dragons being the obvious theme in the dining room, there is a huge dragon as a feature made up of 90,000 Swarovski crystals and 2,400 flickering lights. Almost everything on the menu includes 88 cents eg. $x.88, honouring that lucky theme!
💁🏼♀️ The service here is impeccable, this was a hosted lunch with Susan their Global Sales Manager. She knew exactly what to order and could tell Wazuzu was one of her very regular lunch spots but she does not get sick of it!
🍣 We ate some sushi, Salmon Avocado $13 and King Dragon roll (off menu item), sushi was super fresh and such a nice sharing dish for the table.
Crispy Brussel Sprouts $17.88 Toasted almonds, green onions, balsamic soy reduction, this dish…WOW! I have tried to recreate it and cannot get even close. It had the consistency of kale chips but with so much more flavour.
🐟 Baked Miso Black Cod $32.88 Sweet miso glaze, Choy sum, I absolutely would’ve suggested this dish to order for the group then proceeded to tell them this is my Death Row dish. I love that this was baked and the addition of the Choy sum was perfect.
🦆 Cantonese assorted bbq plate $28.88 roasted duck, bbq pork, red spare ribs. This was another great dish to share as there is a bit of everything.
🍐 Wazuzu White Chocolate Pear $12.88 I think this is meant to resemble to iconic pear symbol of the restaurant, looks more like an apple
Fav dish: Crispy Brussel Sprouts of course
💥 Thank you Susan for a beautifully hosted lunch, I will be back for those sprouts
