I love Buku! I’ve been there a few times and it is always excellent. This time they went above and beyond! We decided to dine there on Valentine’s Day while in the midst of a very restrictive diet (no dairy, grains, sugar, or soy!). I messaged them thru Facebook messenger and executive chef Amanda said she would help... When we arrived our server took our questions to the chef and she said she remembered my messages and would prepare side dishes for us without the ingredients that we were avoiding. I had the Chilean sea bass... read more

Had a wonderful dinner & experience. Our waiter Tim was knowledgeable about the menu. He didn’t hover but gave us the perfect amount of attention without overdoing it. Hope to return again soon! The food was incredible, mouth watering and we savored each bite!

Las Vegas prices ($25/per) for an barely average brunch buffet. Absurd.

Overall it was a great experience and one I'll repeat in the future. The food was all tasty if a challenge at times. The naan and raita small plate was tasty but it was more like a wedge of pizza dough and it seemly highly unlikely that it was baked in the side of a clay pot (as in India) which rendered it more doughy/chewy than crispy/chewy.
