Light Lunch - Edit
Had the Shitaki Roll with "vegan eel sauce". Mushrooms definitely gave me the rubbery eel feel. Tasty, but very small portion and I got the larger roll. I was envious of people at another table with their large sushi rolls made of animals, but hey, I don't need that much food. Also had the jade dumplings which were fine (four). Kind of gelatinous. But still tasty. The two dishes made for a nice light snack, but for the same price I could have waited in line for the buffet (which I just can't do) and stuffed my face.

not as good as we were expecting - Edit
We had eaten at Mizuna the night before so our expectations were high for Wazuzu. We ordered the jade and chikn/cabbage dumplings--both kinds were a hit. The entrees, however, turned out to be just okay, Uninspired pad thais. The broccoli with the soy sauce reduction (on the regular but not veg menu) was very good. I ordered the large bowl of dumpling soup and I first I found the Chinese 5 spice to be a bit of a turn off but it grew on me. The veg menu was decent but not as extensive as I'd hoped. There were other items on the regular menu that were veg but not included on the veg menu, so it is worth it to go through both menus.
I had thought about going to Red 8 but we settled on Wazuzu as a less pricy option. I am not sure it was worth it.
Pros: dedicated veg menu, good dumplings, good service
Cons: good was eh, expensive

Sooooooo good.... - Edit
I've always loved the food I've eaten here. It seems like I've gotten into the routine of ordering Jade Dumplings and Drunken Noodles. The flavors are so good I really look forward to eating here multiple times during any Vegas stay. It's casual and you can usually walk in and be seated quickly. The service is almost always very fast. It's open to the casino so you can people watch while eating. I'll miss this place once I leave Vegas and will definitely be back.
Pros: Delicious vegan options, Fast service, Very friendly staff

Delicious vegan options, but $$$ - Edit
Has a large vegan/veg section. Wazuzu is listed as a casual dining option at the Encore casino, but it is more expensive than I would usually pay for a meal. I ordered the vegan tofu drunken noodle platter. The large platter of thick cut noodles, fried tofu, sweet tomatoes and scallions was truly delicious!
Pros: Excellent food, Nice vibe
Cons: Expensive

Valentine's dinner - Edit
We stopped here for a very nice dinner. The return was full and we were seated right away. Our server was nice, but he could of filled up my water glass a little sooner. We ordered the California roll, shiitake nagi and the shiitake spinach dumplings. Everything was very good. The menu does a great job explains on the menu. I would return in a heartbeat for the shiitake nagi roll!!
Pros: menu with lots of choices

Delicious! - Edit
One of my favorite restaurants in Vegas. The food is fantastic and their drunken noodles are the best I've ever had. Very nice, upscale experience. They have a separate vegan menu so make sure to ask for it!
Pros: Great food, Nice atmosphere, Separate vegan menu
Cons: No vegan desserts

great options! - Edit
We are locals but were out for a more upscale vegan experience. The server was very friendly and made great vegan recommendations. We had the jade dumplings, crunch roll, drunken noodles, and fried rice. It was full of flavor and filling! Will be back for another date night.
Pros: options, atmosphere
Cons: strip prices

Excellent Vegan Food! - Edit
I love what the Encore and Wynn hotels did by offering a vegan menu at all of their restaurants. It helps when I am with my family who os completely closed off to my vegan choice. Anyway, the food here was incredible. I started with the pot stickers that were delicious. The chik'n drunken noodles were so tasty. Then they had a brownie Sunday dessert that made my whole anti-vegan table jealous. Left feeling very full. Amazing meal! A little expensive for normal standards, but in line with most Vegas restaurants. Wish I could give them 5 happy cows!
Pros: delicious food, large portions, convenient location

amazing vegan fine dining - Edit
It is rare to get upscale vegan food. This place is a vegan foodie dream! Everything was super tasty. The brownie sundae was out of this world.

mind blowing - Edit
This was so good I can't describe it. World class. You won't often if EVER get the chance to eat vegan food this good. We had the drunken noodles and the pad thai. The vegan menu was posted at the entrance way. The only downside is get ready to pay $$$. For 4 drinks and the two mains it was 100$. Welcome to Vega$. Though to be fair, any meal I have ever taken someone to that was this fancy, I'm always expecting to leave with an empty wallet. I think since becoming vegan you get used to cheap options.
Pros: World class, great atmosphere, Best food anywhere
Cons: expensive

Great Asian Cuisine - Edit
I was so excited to visit Encore after hearing that the restaurants on property have vegan options. I was disappointed that I had to ask the server for the vegan friendly meals, but they were happy to accomodate me. The Asian cuisine has a lot of flavor and I was pleased with my stir fry dish with fresh veggies. They have a few vegan sides and a vegetarian fried rice and are definitely able to make your meal vegan friendly, but you have to ask.

Vegan Delights with Asian Fusion Flair - Edit
Wazuzu is the Asian Fusion bistro located inside Encore, overlooking the casino floor. While Wazuzu always had delicious vegan options, the choice has become fabulous with the introduction of a special vegan menu.
Pick a vegan sushi roll and seaweed salad as starters and continue with a veggie noodle soup, veggie low mein, or yummy tofu stir-fry. Don't be shy to ask about veganizing even the other tempting dishes on their menu, like the Thai curry, which is excellent. The service is very attentive, and overall the dining experience is worthy of a Wynn hotel, but without the higher fine dining prices you may pay next door.
Pros: great Asian food, attentive service
Cons: get get noisy if casino is busy
