So the last couple of times we have been to Vegas I have wanted to come by and try the Ox Tail soup. I am glad I did. After standing in a line about 50 yards deep I was surprised how fast we got to the front and were seated. There are a lot of great items on the menu from Eggs Benedict for under $8, to the Lau Lau, short ribss and much more but I came for one reason and one reason only. I had been told that my Mom has made this for us when I was younger but I honestly dont remember.
The large bowl of broth had plenty of bones with meat coming off the bones. The soup is seasoned very well and I would compare it to a Mexican/Hispanic dish Cocido which uses a different meat but still has a similar taste and texture. If there was one complaint is that a couple of bones had a lot of fat on it but again, I have the same issue on even some of my favorite cocido restaurants. Its going to happen.
My wife tried the Wanton soup but I must explain that she is a very picky eater and does not like vegetables so the bowl of Oriental Soup Combo that the very nice waitress suggested was out of the picture. She ate some of her soup but said it had a strong odor. I tried it and could not pick up any unusual or bad smell.
We also ordered the banana fritters. This was a little deceiving but still very tasty. They give you about 3-4 wanton wrappers with a nut medley inside. It is very good. They also give you a bowl of ice crean and about a half a banana cut into 3/8" slices. Half is being generous.
The service was fast and they filled our water glasses often. The waitress was very nice and patient with me when I asked her dumb questions like "do most people put the rice into the broth?". She suggested not to and I didn't; what do you think.
I would love to come back and try something else but I dont think my wife is going to come with me.
