| - How do places like this stay in business? I read most of the recent reviews and wasn't sure what to think. So I decided to give this place a try. BIG MISTAKE!
Located in the "Chinatown" of LV off Spring Mtn Rd. Veggie Delight is a small, non assuming, hole-in-the-wall. I should've went elsewhere when I saw the restaurant was empty. No one at the counter and a lone worker chopping vegetables. Not to mention the sound of Buddhist monks chanting in the background was strange...
Start rant...
My awful experience can be broken up into 3 parts:
1) Inattentive, indifferent, slow service: I believe the owner was our server. While she was initially friendly after we were seated it became our responsibility to flag her down for everything...take our order, find her to ask for condiments (i.e. get up from our seat and call for her in the back), ask for our check. Seriously, no other customers were there so why did it take so long to take our order and bring our food? I think she was more interested in having a social conversation with some guy in the back than her customers. And after the food was served she NEVER once checked on us!
2) Bland, poorly prepared, cheap, frozen, poor excuse for vegetarian food: I have no idea what was being chopped because all we got was what looked like pre-packaged vegetables. The vegetarian "meat" is frozen crap. The tomato tofu rice noodle soup was a watery tasteless mess. The crispy chicken patty (one tiny flat patty) served with a measly pile of cruddy lettuce and a dried out scoop of old rice was disgusting. And to top it off the "pork skin" rolls were just fried won ton bits with a smudge of noodles and lettuce cabbage mix... Ick! To top it all off all 3 dishes were clearly "prepared" (I use that word loosely in this case) with little to no care...slopping food on a plate. Very sad.
3) Expensive and overpriced crappy food: the "pork" rolls were $5.50, soup $9 and crispy chicken $9. The chemical tasting Thai tea $3.50 and durian shake $5. Total bill was $34.70. I have had all you can eat Chinese vegetarian buffet for $8/person.
To top it all off the portions are so small...I am still hungry. Damn. Time for In-n-Out! End rant.
