| - I struggled a little on the five star review, but only because the seafood soup said crab, but contained imitation crab (but nice quality stuff). This was my first time and the rest was so outstanding I couldn't complain. I ordered a bowl of seafood soup to go. I asked the very polite lady who answered the phone if it was good and she explained that yes, and it was in a hot and sour broth. I said I was looking for a chicken broth based soup (sinuses) and started looking for another soup. She responded they would be happy to do my soup in chicken broth.
15 minutes (to go order); walked in and noticed immediately there may not be much seating, but the place was spotless. The lady behind the counter was taking someone else's order, but gave me a big smile to acknowledge me and asked me if I was their to go order. She was extremely sweet for the entire transaction, and appreciated the compliment that I had been referred by customers at Madison Avenue (sports bar across the street).
As mentioned, I got seafood noodle soup. Mussels (huge in shell!), a surprising number of large shrimp (and VERY fresh tasting - nothing had been sitting), squid rings (no tentacles here) cooked properly, and imitation crab in chicken broth. The chicken broth was heaven - perfect spice, not overly salty as most places! It was wonderful with the seafood, not overpowering. My favorite part of the soup was the box that came with it - I opened it up and found half a box of perfectly cooked rice noodles, tossed with mild spices and lots of fresh cilantro, on top of half a box of the freshest bean sprouts I've had since I left Seattle last week - traditional Pho style soup! I put the soup and the noodles and sprouts into a larger container thinking I'd take some for work tomorrow. Nope. Scarfed the entire thing. Absolutely delicious.
Also got an order of crab rangoon to split with my roommate. Okay, I know these are going to have imitation crab. They were soft on the bottom (not overfried and greasy like some places) but the tips were super crispy. Loved the sweet chili sauce on the side instead of the usual sweet and sour sauce (which my roommate can never eat since he's allergic to pineapple. Chili sauce has none).
As someone who hangs out in our Chinatown a lot, I am impressed. These folks know their stuff. Don't let the neighborhood scare you - some of the best restaurants in Vegas are in meh areas. I've never had an issue around here. I look forward to trying more on their menu and definitely some of the other dishes reviewers have mentioned!
