| - This little gem here needs to be closer to downtown Vegas. I was heading to Sam's Club and spotted what I thought was a typo on their temporary restaurant banner but when I looked again and saw, "Asian Soul Food," below, I had to quickly make a u-turn to find out what in the devil was this. I know a lot of Chinese joints have fried chicken wings on their menus but that's hardly soul food. I'm so glad I went there because the owner was very welcoming and super friendly but the food was out of sight. I'm still bewildered on the flavor profile that tastes better than many Chinese places I've been. I was ear hustling a lot of repeat customers in there singing its praises on almost everything Asian. I got the combination fried rice which comprises of chicken, shrimp and beef, (I think or pork) and all I can say is that I was totally shocked with the texture and consistency and how it resembled our Asian brothers and sisters and not Big Mama. They do not put peas and carrots in their rice only egg, onions, scallions and bean sprouts. I was trying to peek in the back to see if I saw a lil Asian person there but nope, there were sistas throwing down like that. They even have a touch of Asian and Soul in one of their specials called, "Bruce Leroy." I chuckled when I saw that. Anyway, I'm planning on revisiting before leaving to try the dishes repeat customers bragged about: egg foo young, egg rolls, tamales and of course that fried rice. I'd suggest if any of you are in Vegas, please make this a go to. Oh and that banana pudding looks delish! Didn't try it but I might.
