Reviews
The pork soup dumplings are decent but they’re nothing compared to Din Tai Fung. I did enjoy the signature crispy pork with mama special sauce. I liked the texture and the flavor. Very savory sauce. The mapo tofu, fish fillet, Mongolian beef, and crispy duck were very average. It’s about the same as back home, so nothing extraordinary. Prices are not bad because you do get a generous amount of food. Service was good, we were well taken care of. Overall 3 out of 5. Mostly average Chinese food with prices slightly more than usual.
Both of our soups came out at the same time along with one of the entrees.
I asked them to please take back the entree until we finished our soups.
As it turned out I had to tell them to take back the soups as they both were cold. Our server made a face of annoyance but they take them back and brought us hot soup which took a little while. I guess about the time I microwave would take to warm up the soups.
For our main dishes we had crispy duck an orange chicken.
Both dishes were at room temperature and we’re rather bland.
After all the videos by an influencer who raves about them I was totally disappointed and would not go back.
Oh one more thing.
The server added a tip for themselves which I felt was totally inappropriate.
The fried rice is top tier, classic but perfect.
Dan dan noodles had been on my list to try and they were very fun. A very soft doughy noodle, lots of great chili oil spice + peanut flavor and herbs.
Last, Pork Soup Dumplings. Not my favorite, some integrity issues with them leaking. But great flavor of broth and very tender pork inside.
OVERALL definitely on our rotation, looking forward to trying more dishes.
I’m a Vegas semi local who grew up in the San Gabriel valley, so we have great authentic Chinese food. I’ve always passed by seeing crowds and wanted to give it a try,
There are some yelp reviews that describe this as fancy panda express, and I would agree with the sentiment. As long as you go in with that expectation, you’ll be fine. If your expectation is authentic Chinese food, you’ll be disappointed.
The scallion pancake was flaccid, undercooked and the dough was still raw inside. We commented we could have gone across the street to 168, bought them from the frozen section and made them at home better.
The spicy wonton with peanuts, they laid the wontons on top of the chili oil it was flavorless as well.
The stir-fried pork with rice cakes were just basically reheated, there was no stir frying as the rice cakes didn’t have any of the caramelized crispy bite that you’d expect.
The soup dumplings were decent and I would go back these. They don’t seal the top so the do get a chance to cool off and not burn you or you can drink from the top.
The crispy sprimp with salted egg was tasty, I’d get these again, but I am doubtful the shrimp were fresh.
The fish with pickled vegetables was tasty and flavorful, this was a great dish.
The house special friend rice, overall was prepared well, but was bland and lacked flavor. It really was no better than using it as white rice for the other dishes.
The yellow cauliflower with salted pork was okay.
We ordered the orange chicken (perfectly crispy and flavorful), the shrimp spring rolls, and the beef fried rice, all super tasty. But the honey walnut shrimp and crispy beef were the real standouts. So good!
The restaurant was packed, but the service was still fast and friendly. The staff made us feel really welcome, like we were regulars.
If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Chinese comfort food in Vegas, this place is a must. Great vibe, great food, great people
