Red 8

I dined here with my brothers and nephew during a visit to the Wynn for a convention and March Madness. We were starving at the time of our reservation and ordered quite a bit of food...too much... in waves. We were given a pager and told it would be 15-20 minutes but were buzzed within a few minutes and seated in a table that was vacated, bussed and set when we arrived initially. I found this to be the case in multiple restaurants when we did not have a reservation... even if there was availability, it almost seemed as if the restaurant didn't want you to think you could just walk in without one! Interesting though that this time, we had a reservation but got the same treatment anyway. No big deal...we were in no rush. Our seating near the front, looking out into casino, was fine but it was half chairs and half sofa style without much of a back. I shouldn't have sat there with a finicky back but my bad. We started with steamed shrimp dumplings and barbecue pork or beef buns and pan fried pork dumplings. Main course included the Red8 fried rice (shrimp, chicken, beef), Mongolian Beef, shrimp Pad Thai, Orange Chicken and an Eggplant dish not on main menu. The most flavorful item was the Mongolian Beef. There wasn't anything wrong about the food in general, we just found that there was no "wow" factor. Some dishes were surprisingly lacking in flavor...the Red8 fried rice and orange chicken and while did a great job eating what was in front of us, we did not return and Red 8 won't be on my revisit menu during me next stay. Perhaps their specialties reside in the more exotic menu offerings (seafood dishes or Chicken Feet) but there is much better Asian food available (albeit even more expensive) within the Wynn. Speaking of expense, I did not find the pricing to be unreasonable. I will say that I really wanted to love it...as I wish to feel after any new dining experience but that did not happen.
