| - Expensive, but we wanted something local (tucked in a corner at the Bellagio), and a break from the typical bar/burger food that was everywhere in Vegas. Perfect for me and my husband- we were fighting off colds and wanted some comfort food.
Went at 8pm, and were seated by 9pm. In the evenings, there is usually a line, and the later you go, the smaller that line is. Option to make reservations, so you can skip the line. Or you can order takeout at the host stand. One of the hostesses was very busy, going to the line, asking how many people per group, so she could get everyone in faster. She was running back and forth from the restaurant, getting menus, and probably looking at available tables in each waiter's section.
I think the restaurant is fairly large, as in addition to the "main room" right when you walk in, I think there were sections to the left and right, but were hidden by walls.
Bar type seating by the kitchen, but there was a lot of foot traffic as the waiters moved back and forth. Really loved the mix of standard tables and long bench tables/seating. Gave a cozy, family vibe to a modern restaurant. The wall of noodles was interesting decor as well.
Our server, Kenny, super friendly! Oh, and everyone here spoke English. With accents, but can definitely understand them without repeating yourself.
Our dishes:
Plain jook - very plain as described and good if you aren't feeling well, want something hot, or a small, simple soup that won't make you full, thirsty, or mess with your taste buds. This was perfect! Although I did add a bit of soy sauce.
Spring rolls -- nothing special here, typical fried appetizer. And appeared to not not have any filling. No vegs, except for a wisp of green that I assumed was cabbage. In fact, was mostly dough, and the dipping sauce was so watery and thin.
Basket of steamed veggies -- after all the Vegas junk eating, craving something fresh. Got very little asparagus, pepper, bok choy, and carrots (1 piece each at minimum, 2 if you were lucky, and 3 if they were feeling generous or mistakenly counted the pieces) and mainly broccoli, yellow squash.
Dory fish with scallions and ginger -- light and flavorful. Ginger was sliced thickly, as opposed to finely chopped/slice, so it's more for garnish than for eating. Fish was subtle, and reminded me of really tender chicken.
Chilean sea bass with black bean and garlic sauce - flaky, juicy, and amazingly delicious with the flavorful sauce. Melt in your mouth tender. Wish we had ordered two of these.
Fish dishes come with rice, but they were not brought out with our food, and it took about 5 or so minutes before we finally flagged someone down. I just chalked it up to being busy.They were very courteous when mentioning this.
We had ordered a lot, and the waiter didn't bring out one of the pan fried noodle/gravy dishes. When we inquired about it, Kenny said it had not been taken down during ordering. So either we confused him or we misheard him when he was reading the order back to us, Lol. Either way, no big deal. We were not charged for it, and he ended up doing us a favor since we were so full from everything and ended up bringing leftovers back upstairs to our room.
Was very expensive, and portions were average at best. However, this is to be expected from Vegas!
