Rim Asian Bistro - Reno

I only visit this all-you-can-eat restaurant once a year, but I always look forward to it. I really enjoy the atmosphere and the overall vibe of the place. The staff is incredibly friendly and always open to chatting if you're in the mood. The owner sold the restaurant to the casino post-COVID, so it might have changed a bit, but not by much.

We had a fantastic experience tonight. Both the food and service were excellent. Our server, Alexander, was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding, especially the Tropical Love Carpaccio. We also enjoyed the Crab Lagoon, Lobster Spring Rolls, Surfing and Turf Rolls, Beef Nigiri, and the Lychee Cheesecake—all of them were incredibly delicious. The Jade Garden Cocktail was also a treat!

This definitely wasn't salt and pepper shrimp. I'm not sure what it was. The wontons in the soup had decent flavor, but the broth was lacking. It tasted like they just opened a can of Swanson's. I typically don't add much salt when I cook, but wow, this really needed it. There weren't any condiments provided, either. I was hesitant to try this place due to all the negative reviews, and honestly, I wish I hadn't. For $70, this was really disappointing.

Foreword; I don't like sushi, so I can't check how it was, but look wise (you can see for yourself in the pictures) was great. I am a simple eater, tend to find something I like on a menu and stick to it. For Asian cuisine I am a fried rice person, but will occasionally branch out. In addition, the records were stock size, which was always my favorite way to eat, so kuddos on this. Start the meal with a few appetizers we chose the edamame and potstickers. Not to be a fan of edamame, I must assume that they were good when both the Missus and my son forced them to speak nothing but praise. The pot stickers were tasteful and filled with filling, fried to a beautiful crabs served with a sauce I could not identify, and not used as they needed no sauce. The dish I chose was Rim Fried Rice, a comb of fried rice including shrimp, chicken, beef and pigs. The rice was well cooked, the vegetables crisp, and the shrimps cook perfectly, but the flavors seemed just a melody of a taste, it tasted all the same. Texturally I got the shrimps and the delicate meat, but tastefully it felt Blande. My son chose for the broccoli cattle; he's the smart one. I have eaten my fair share of broccoli beef in my day, and I usually avoid it because of the texture of the broccoli itself. However, this broccoli was crunchy, and still boiled and hot. I loved the snapper he pierced in him, who contrasted the tenderness of the beef that was almost melted in your mouth. The sauce had only a hair of Backside warmth (as a coward to spicy food, I loved it), which made the whole together amazingly come together. My only wish was more of this amazing sauce, I would buy the stuff from the bottle. Our server Kristina (name falls because it deserves recognition) was excellent. Casino restaurants are busy, and some cartridges can be... challenging. She was on the point, I saw her weaving between her tables ensuring that drinks were filled and needs were met. When our food arrived, she was attentive to everything we needed before we started, then gave us a decent amount of time to start enjoying our food without break before you check us. The other tables served by other employees were also taken care of, so I can only say that the staff was amazing there. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and for the price, it was most worth it. If it was for my rice, it could easily earn my 5th star. Finally, they offer military discount that is less than you think, so I thank them for supporting the men and women of our armed forces.

It's unfortunate that I have to write a review of such degree. While flavor and Seasoning of portions of food were delicious, the quantity for the price was unfortunately subpar. Most of the duck that was ordered ended up being bone. Broccoli was undercooked. Out of a table of 8 people, 4 people were dissatisfied.
