I'm back in Las Vegas and of course, I had to visit the Bacchanal again after a couple years but this time I heard they brought some new items at the buffet!
✧ Bacchanal Buffet 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
I'm going to take a shower now.
Happy Holidays everybody, it's Mike Chen here in St. Louis, at night I like my tea a little
strong.
Boy, I think this thing can binge as much as I do.
Anyway, before we get to this video, and if you like Las Vegas buffets, you're gonna like
this.
Before we get to that, a big thank you and shout out to the sponsor of this video, Tokyo
Treats and Sakura Co., it's actually with the same company, and today I'm just gonna
do a little quick comparison of the two boxes.

fun cultural bits about Japan.
So if you're looking for something fun and modern, Tokyo Treats is the way to go.
So for the month of January, we have Coffee Kit Kats, Jewelry Jelly, a little Taiyaki,
a drink mega patchy, try this little Taiyaki, coffee kit kat, this actually is like biting
into a crunchy gnocchi coffee.
I really wanna try this jewelry jelly, oh this is actually a jello kit.
If you're looking for something more authentic and traditional, Sakura Co. has what you're
looking for.
And in every single box, besides the exclusive snacks you get in here, you're also gonna

mission.
I'm gonna continue to eat all this prior to tonight, so have a great evening, again, happy
holidays and enjoy the video.
Finally back.
I don't even remember the last time I was here.
Bacchanal Buffet Las Vegas.
It has definitely been years since I've been back here.
And I came to Vegas really just for this.
Had to book a reservation two months ahead of time and I hear there's some new exciting
changes in there.
Let's go check it out.
But first, I gotta wait in line still.
It hasn't even opened yet, the line's already forming.
So excited.
I just sat down.
I feel like I should be like the president of the Bacchanal fan club.
I was walking around looking at the new edition, new food editions.
I was walking and I was just chanting, Bacchanal, Bacchanal.
There's some cool stuff out there.
Let me show you.
First of all, a flaming wheel of corn.
Stuffed churros.
Check it out.
Wood-grilled lamb t-rib right over there.
Roasted bone marrow.
Gotta have.
Gotta try this.
And I'm sure that glazed pork belly, I'm sure that's gonna be good too.
This is always one of my favorite things.
Beef steamboat.
This is a giant roast that they cook here.
Brisket here.
Prime rib here.
Tri-tip here.
You're gonna get your fill of steak at this place.
I feel like I'm advertising for the Bacchanal.
I promise it's not a sponsored video.
I'm just so excited for this place.
And here, snow crab, oysters, octopus, crawfish boil.
Right over there, you got more.
Snow crab, shrimp, lobster claw.
Pumpkin horchata, mimosas, apple cider, pork rinds.
You getting excited yet?
Do you feel my excitement?
Hope you do because I am just, I need to, let me just finish this.
Garlic bread.
I'm so excited for garlic bread.
Oh, this is cool.
Baba ganoush, hummus, falafel.
This is new.
This section is pretty new.
Cheeses, your meats.
And check this out.
Filipino corner right over here.
Whole roasted lechon pig.
You got skewers, you got adobo.
And over here, this is the section I don't frequent as much.
Chinese section, some sushi over here.
It's good, but let's go back to the meats.
Oh, of course, dessert island.
Look at this.
Caramel mousse, tiramisu, green tea mousse.
Oh, look at that.
All the, oh, that is so pretty.
Filipino cake, raspberry glee, Thai tea mousse.
Happy to see the Filipino food being represented at this buffet so much right now.
Sweet yogurt looking like a sunny side up egg.
Pineapple upside down cake, one of my favorite.
Chocolate lava cake, love this.
Cinnamon rolls, egg tarts, mini donuts.
Of course, assorted flavors of ice cream.
Just so many new food items to try.
Let's get started.
I didn't eat all day.
Round one.
Oh, chata's good.
Apple cider.
Mmm.
Oh, that's delicious.
I love this place for all its little variety of drinks.
What I also like to do, I ask for sparkling water mixed with pineapple juice.
Delicious.
Let's just sandwich some corn.
Initial assessment, this could be a little dry.
That's really dry.
The asparagus and corn on the side is delicious, and the seasoning is delicious, too.
That is a dry piece of salmon.
Last time, it felt like it had never been in water in its life.
Oh.
Baby octopus.
I think it's a chili lime sauce.
Let's pop this whole thing on now.
Mmm.
This is delicious.
Oh, the sauce is fantastic.
Oh, and the octopus is tender.
I know.
Getting a fish boil.
I just saw a big plate of crawfish.
Couldn't really resist.
I mean, it's frozen, so I'm not expecting much from the crawfish.
Flavor-wise, though, not too bad.
Look at this.
Oyster on a bed of salt.
That is good.
Oh, I need, like, at least a dozen of those.
I think it's some kind of barbecue oyster.
It's a little spicy, tons of garlic.
Wow, that's delicious.
So far, besides that piece of salmon, everything else, off the hook.
Second round, meat.
Oh, this chicken and waffle caught my eye.
Look at this.
This thing looks tender.
It looks succulent.
The pickle on top looks amazing.
I feel like this waffle has definitely been sitting out for a long time.
A little soggy.
With that said, flavor, just awesome.
Chicken is good.
The pickles are a great addition.
The sweet and savory flavor of all the ingredients work so well together.
Look at chicken and waffle.
This is what I've been waiting for, bone marrow.
One of my favorite things on a buffet.
This stuff is so good, and it's usually so expensive.
If you want to make at least some of your money back on this buffet,
just eat a ton of this.
I think bread will work better, but they give you a little cracker
to eat this with.
Just the best.
Again, I think bread works better.
There's really no wrong way to eat that.
Next is the meat.
This is a new addition, the T-bone lamb.
Mm, all right, this is kind of like a horseback thing.
Oh, this is good.
Oh, this is really good.
Oh, this is a fantastic addition to this buffet.
The lamb tastes like, so there's this really famous steakhouse in New York
called King's.
Their signature steak is their mutton chop.
And it's just this beautiful, delicious cut of mutton.
And that tastes like it.
I would love to get one of these lamb T-bones right off the fire.
Because right now, these ones have been sitting there for a little bit,
tiny bit dry.
You can taste the potential.
I think I'm just so spoiled by Texas.
Eating brisket anywhere else, like, I just can't.
It just doesn't even come close.
And the brisket here, a little dry.
This is that monstrosity of a beef.
Remember that tri-trip?
The beef roast, everything's good.
Out of all that, I like the lamb T-bone the most.
After this, I'm going to see if I can go score a fresh one.
Managed to score a fresh lamb T-bone.
They were putting this out right as I was walking by.
Oh, oh, this is tender.
Look at this.
Coming off the bone so easily.
Juicy.
There's pieces with a lot of fat as well.
I mean, I'm just trying to cut this with a butter knife, mind you.
Look at this.
Beautiful.
I think in terms of quality, the beef steaks at Wynn is better.
But this lamb T-bone is a wonderful addition here at the Bacchanal.
Oh, if you're not a fan of lamb, think it's too gamey, no gameyness.
Also, another wonderful addition, Mexican street corn.
They choose different flavors.
I got the classic.
This hits the spot.
And this will continue to hit the spot anytime a spot needs to be hit.
Wow.
Juicy, sweet corn, a little smoky from the paprika.
The cheese mixed in with the chilies and a little bit of the lime powder.
A little sweet, a little savory, a little citrusy.
This is such a good addition.
Wow.
Look at this.
Scallop, shrimp, octopus ceviche.
Scallop's sweet.
I wish this was more citrusy.
I feel like the sourness is not enough for me.
Seafood texture is really good, though, especially that scallop on that half shell.
I think it was like candy.
And this is such a simple little thing.
Stuffed churro.
Oh, good stuffed churro.
Tonkatsu ramen at the Bacchanal.
This is way better than the Wynn.
It's actually pretty fatty and rich.
The only bad thing is, for some reason, it's really sweet.
But if you're just having a craving for ramen, this will definitely satisfy you.
Usually, again, like I'm not a proponent of pizzas or bread, but shuffle mushroom?
Yeah.
Not too shabby.
Got a piece of lechon skin.
Now, this is a little hard.
Also, I needed some, um, some bread because I need a, I need something to put the bone marrow on.
I mean, these chips, these crackers are fine, but you gotta put them on a bread.
Another reason why I love a buffet.
So many opportunities to mix and match.
Bone marrow truffle mushroom pizza.
That just depended me of satisfaction right there.
Oh, might be a sensory overload right there.
And this is so pretty.
Hummus, grabbed a little garlic bread.
My weakness.
Hummus is delicious, though.
That is so good.
Put some bone marrow on that.
Definitely time to take a break and focus more on seafood.
Okay, at the Chinese food section, they have a Wagyu hot dog.
Yeah, I gotta try that.
Al pastor taco.
Delicious.
I think I got some asada.
I think everything in that Mexican corner, especially the corn,
so, so good.
Saw gochujang fried chicken.
Couldn't resist.
This is actually tremendous.
This is really good Korean fried chicken.
Still crunchy.
Gochujang sauce is delicious.
Bacchanal did good on that one.
I'm really excited to try this, though.
This is the Wagyu hot dog.
I mean, it looks pretty basic.
Soft bun, hot dog in the middle.
That was definitely the hardest to swallow item of the night.
I mean, the bun is just way too big for this hot dog.
Something smaller, lighter, would be much, much better.
I can't discern with my taste buds the Wagyu quality of this hot dog.
It just tastes like a regular hot dog.
Got my seafood plate.
They have kunk, they have lobster claws, snow crab, mussels, clams,
all sorts of dipping sauce.
What I like about them, they keep it interesting.
It's not just butter, it's not just cocktail sauce.
Different types of dipping sauce.
They got Cajun, remoulin, atomic, horseradish, and mignonette.
Mussel's good.
Mussels and clams are already cooked to their own spices.
How's that clam jerky?
The kunk is so good, especially in that dipping sauce.
Crab meat's a little small, though.
The price for this buffet, I think it's $69.
I think around 60 bucks is pretty much the price of every single dinner buffet on the Strip.
In this place, in terms of seafood, you probably get the most variety.
There's lobster, there's snow crab, there's kunk.
I mean, there's definitely easier and much worse ways to lose 70 bucks in Vegas.
Ah, dessert time.
This upside-down pineapple cake, always one of my favorites here in the Bachna.
Oh, it's good.
So many pretty little dessert items.
Mmm!
Oh, black forest cake is so good.
It's easy to kind of overdo it because all these things look like two, three biters.
Next thing you know, you're laying in your hotel bed with a sugar high,
not knowing what day it is.
This is so pretty.
It's so good.
This ube mousse is extraordinary.
It's the lightest cake on the inside and such a smooth velvety texture.
Favorite thing so far.
100%.
Thai tea mousse is good as well, but oh man,
I wish I could trade this in for that ube thing again.
Mmm, still thinking about it.
Not a single bad bite of dessert so far.
Oh man.
Let's call this a cinnamon roll.
I thought it was a bread pudding, but maybe a deconstructed cinnamon roll?
Yeah, it's a bread pudding.
I don't know, cinnamon roll.
Now thinking back, why would I think this is a cinnamon roll?
First of all, it's not a roll.
Maybe because it was round?
I don't know.
This mango mousse is good.
If you're gonna eat this, make sure you eat this first
because the other sugary stuff is gonna completely cover the sweetness of this.
Oh, same goes with yogurt.
Eat too much sweet stuff, it's gonna not taste good at all.
Coming here, this was definitely a huge itch I needed to scratch.
Ever since I was here the first time, I think my first food video
was about the bak chanow on an iPhone 4.
This has always been my favorite buffet,
and I'm glad to see that after everything's opened back up,
they continue to strive to do better.
I mean, there's a lot of new dishes here that are fantastic.
Again, the street corn, the oysters, hummus.
I mean, I don't know what they have for breakfast or brunch or lunch,
but I will 100% recommend if you're gonna come here and eat this,
come for dinner.
Get that lamb t-bone.
After trying everything out, I think it's settled.
This is still the number one best buffet in Vegas, and maybe the entire country.
Anyway, hope you found my review of the bak chanow buffet helpful,
and as always, thank y'all so much for watching until we eat again.
See you later.
