Shibuya - MGM Grand, 2009
Shibuya at MGM Grand in April, 2009. This place is always busy, so you probably should make reservations. The food here is absolutely delicious. I love dessert here because they are so original and unique. The only thing is that service is slow and hard to get waiter because this place is always busy. Also a little pricey so we don't eat here unless it's comped.
CLICK HERE for pics from 2007.
Japanese tofu $18 (market price)
premium chilled tofu, traditional condiments, tofu skin chip, ginger infused broth
This was really fun. They imported this tofu from Japan, it's really soft. It was served in dried ice. Absolutely tasty and delicious. Highly recommended.
combination tempura $20
I like tempura here at Shibuya. I ordered this last time we ate here, too. This is what tempura should be. The batter is crunchy. If you are a fan of tempura, try this place.
Jidori chicken $25
kushiyaki breast & thigh, satsumaimo croquettes, shishito, lemon teriyaki
I love satsumaimo (Japanese yam), but I wasn't crazy about this croquette. But the chicken was delicious.
This is the wrong order of sushi that they brought us. I realized because I know what I'm ordering.
This is yellowtail roll, it didn't look so good to me, but taste was actually fine.
sushi from top: yellowtail $12, kanpyo roll $6, hirame nigiri $9
creme brulee duo (marinated plum, apricot miso) $10
dessert sampler $12
This wasn't on the menu. I couldn't decided which desserts I wanted, and our waiter told us they also have a sampler. It's yuzu-momo, choco lychee, and mochi ice cream. See the dessert menu for description.

MGM Grand - Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill 2009
Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill at MGM. We always liked eating here. But on this trip, it was half/half. I liked chicken salad and beef skewers. It could be just me, because I only eat breasts, I don't usually like to eat other parts. My pizza's chicken wasn't only chicken breasts, it was mixed with different parts that I hate. I wish I knew it so I didn't order it.

Chinois chicken salad with candied peanuts and honey-mustard vinaigrette $15
It's a big portion.
Mesquite grilled steak skewers with creamy celery salad and steak sauce $14
Sauce tasted like steak or BBQ sauce, salad wasn't creamy and didn't have any celery taste.
Organic chicken with potato puree and sauteed spring vegetables $28
I thought potato had no taste, but my husband liked it.
Pizza: chicken, eggplant, roasted peppers and cilantro (with no cheese) $14
It was thin crust, like cracker, and also I think there was no sauce. Usually pizza has tomato sauce or some kind of sauce, but this didn't. I wish they only use chicken breasts for the chicken.
Strawberry Cream Pie $8

MGM - Emeril's New Orleans Fish House 2009
We recently received an MGM offer that included $250 food credits. They said you can use at any MGM-owned company, so you can use anywhere except at Joel Robuchon and Rainforest Cafe. That's what they said. BUT when we were ready to check out, they said they can't comp Emeril's because they are NOT owned by MGM. We ate at Emeril's in 2007 and 2008 and they were owned by MGM and we were always comped. So it's hard to believe that they are not owned by MGM in 2009, and also nobody told us. This was so wasting money. 2 desserts and 2 coffee drinks total was $40. We were just so pissed off, and we're probably not booking at MGM anymore. The room was so crappy, too. View was air vents.
Anyway, OK, so it was busy Saturday night, the restaurant was full and they told us it'll take about 20 minutes to be seated, but we saw there were 2 seats open at the bar, so we sat down. We waited about 5-10 minutes and finally got somebody to take our order. The guy who took our order, he talked so fast, and we couldn't understand him 100%, also he didn't let us explain. First, we received our espresso in tiny cups, I wanted cappuccino, not espresso, but again, we couldn't tell him about that. So 5 minutes after I received my espresso, I asked him to change it to cappuccino, and he did it with no problems. That was nice.
I ordered beignets, because I thought I can get good beignets here but it wasn't. I mean, it was okay, but nothing amazed me, just so normal. My husband liked the coffee ice cream so much. We really liked banana cream pie last time, so we ordered it again, and also that was the reason we came here. But somehow, we thought taste wasn't good as before.
So, we tried 3 times here at Emeril's and we've been disappointed by the food pretty much every time. So I don't recommended eating here. But their cappuccino is always good.
