Usually casino restaurants are pretty well thought-out, with everything strategically placed, especially at mega-resorts like the Atlantis. Their steakhouse is well-known, and they have a few trendier places that the grandparents love to frequent, including the newer Bistro Napa, but I'm pretty sure Red Bloom was an afterthought. Hey, marketing team, you named your Asian restaurant after the deadly algae that infects shellfish, rendering them unfit for human consumption.
The food is not unfit for human consumption...only unfit for enjoyment, starting with a sad salad. This Vietnamese Chicken Salad has flavorless white chicken, and shredded things, all of which were so incredibly soggy. There was supposed to be a housemade fish sauce, but it seems to have drowned like the salad.
Shrimp Hargow fell apart immediately.
Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings are alright. They did taste freshly fried and were quite crunchy. Not much in terms of seasoning, but this was absolutely okay.
Mongolian Beef and Beef Bulgolgi are interchangeable in flavor and appearance, one slightly sweeter than the other, and the former has some little crispy bits on top. It's fine, it's stir fried respectably, but PF Chang's it is not.
Service is slow, but it's lunch on a Tuesday so I can cut them some slack, but what I can't forgive is the sake. We ordered it at the beginning, and it came as our dessert. Unfortunately, we did not order dessert so we were stuck awkwardly sipping sake with no food to eat. I have no idea what took that long - I doubt they ferment it themselves.
Do not eat here. You will not be happy.
