Been to this Chinese a few times while visiting Harrah Casino. After the time had said wasn’t going back to eat there. The service is so great and the food is worst. It’s a rush experience from the servers. It’s a small restaurant inside Harrah could possibly seat around 45 people. I’m giving the rating to this place because one the food doesn’t really have an authentic Chinese flavor, don’t know if it’s the cooks or the ingredients used to prepare the food. The food is not worth the prices they charge per item. If the food tasted authentic then the price wouldn’t matter. The service needs to be looked at and the workers should focus on the customers instead of being in a hurry. After my last visit which was very recent don’t believe will be going back to eat at this place. Though Harrah doesn’t have many choices to choose from and most close early. I wouldn’t recommend this place eat at your risk.

At KJ Chinese Restaurant I was greeted and seated immediately upon entering. Service was fast, and friendly. I ordered the Sauteed Beef with Orange Peel, and Yang Chow Fried Rice. The fried rice arrived first. It looked picture perfect, so I took one. It tasted as good as it looked. It was lightly seasoned, which I like when eating fried rice with accompanying dishes. It allows the flavors of the fried rice to come through, and pairs well with most other dishes. When the Beef with Orange Peel arrived it looked equally as good. It was lightly-crisp, and the beef had a bit of a chew. My only issue was the sauce was unbalanced. Parts were bitter, others too sweet, and others were just right. Overall, it was a very good dish.
If you enjoy true Chinese flavors and textures, you’ll probably enjoy this place. If on the other hand you enjoy more west-ifed Chinese food, then you might not enjoy it as much as other restaurants.

Here last night..horrible experience. Had a table of 6 people, Howard was our waiter and completely ignored us after they got a bigger table of 10+ people. I had ordered an iced coffee- mind you this was the FIRST thing we placed before water or food and it was the last thing I got… had to bug him twice for it (which he was ignoring me the whole time) he said it was coming…. Had to ask a different waiter to receive my coffee. Also ordered jelly fish and he told was it was going to be crunchy and it was not!! It was flubber quite an experience though. Also got a veggie pad Thai with +$5 extra to add fried tofu.. worst tofu I’ve ever had. We didn’t even eat it. I’d give this place a 0 for service and food if I could… what do u expect from an over priced Chinese restaurant in a casino though?? Wouldn’t come here again.

Waited for 15 minutes to be seated, there were empty tables visible. However after waiting that long without being acknowledged by the hostess we left. As we were leaving the couple behind us (who were of Asain decent) were immediately greeted and sat.
I watched people sitting there trying to get the servers attention (they were white) who just ignored them. I think we dodged a bullet you should too.

Food is okay I had better Chinese food somewhere else with better price. The service was fast and depending on the time you are seated, there might be some food option they won’t cook for you due to the time to prepare it. We were hungry and this is one of the restaurant that has available table. Noodles were dry, fried rice is okay, we love the pork chop. Portion is big like family style. You can share one meal and be satisfied. I might try their dim sum next time.

A very odd experience. Luckily we were able to go right up to the front to be seated. An older Asian man came near us and just walked away. Then as he walked down the aisle about to enter the restaurant he looked back at us with a look wondering why we weren’t following him. My bestie and I looked at one another bewildered wondering why he never said anything about being seated? Then once seated he just put down some menus and silverware without a word. When the server came to take our order I was trying to be humorous without any human response. The food wasn’t too bad but the prices were insane for the flavors delivered. This restaurant definitely needs to reevaluate their service because the food alone surely won’t save the business.

We’re staying at Harrah’s and this is where I decided I wanted to eat for my 70th birthday. Decided to make a reservation for 6:30 and we headed down there to eat. There was a line waiting outside so I went up to one of the waiters and asked where do I go for my reservation and he pointed to the line I said you want me to get in that line when we have a reservation and he said yes and walked away.
Finally our turn, they wanted to seat us on the casino floor area with a small barrier around it and my husband said no we want to go inside the restaurant and sit at a booth.
They called the manager over and we explained this is my 70th birthday we made reservations and her reply is we don’t take reservations they want to charge me money. Huh?
So we get seated in a booth and we order sweet and sour pork and I got shrimp fried rice now I was interested in the shrimp fried noodles but when I ask the guy what is it like being Sprouts or pasta and he said stir fry doesn’t tell me anything else about it.
The food that we got was good but never once did they come back over do you need more water do you need a napkin do you need a knife nothing we should have just taken it out and gone up to our room that’s how much service we got.
None. They drop our bill off on the table and I noticed that there’s three items instead of two one of them is a $25 bowl of soup that we didn’t order or eat. It took quite a while for them to take that off and we paid and left.
No happy birthday no dessert nothing very cold and informal like ordering fast food.
I gave them two stars instead of one cuz the food actually was good.
Oh and they serve water iced tea hot tea and that’s it.

Came in with a group of 3 adults one kid and one toddler.
We were first in line at 11am on a overcasted Monday morning.
Pricing is fair. Pricing at any entertainment establishment is a little on the higher side so it definitely not surprised by that. That being said, I didn’t pay for dinner, I was invited.
Now for the food itself. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations when it comes to casino eats. We ordered the house fried rice, orange chicken, house lo mein, sweet and sour pork, and some dumplings.
The order took a while. Wait time is definitely an issue but the server did keep apologizing. They also had a huge line of people on the “to-go” side. I remember checking the time and it had already been 11:50am and still no food on the table.
When the food did arrive, it was great. The house fried rice had a really clean taste with every bite of chicken, shrimp, and beef acting as tiny explosions of taste. It wasn’t heavy on the fry process and that’s much appreciated. The sauces used on all the dishes were very delicious. Orange chicken had the right amount of crunch, didn’t leave any room to desire anything more. The zest was superior to any other OC I’ve had in other Chinese food establishments. The Lo mein noodles were thick enough to have a satisfying slurp. The sweet and sour pork were exactly just that – sweet & sour, and they had a lot of excess sauce that you could use to lather on top of the clean fried rice.
Overall, food was great, time was wasted, money was exchanged.

Great Place to eat at I had the Vietnamese Combo Noodles Soup. It was made with love ❤️ Beautiful aromas and flavors. We also tried The Beef Lo Mein, the beef was cooked to perfection, just the right amount of noodle sauce.
Overall, we experienced great flavors and all the ALL food textures. We want to come back here
