| - This was our first restaurant when we arrived in Aria. We were so hungry we didn't put our bags up to our room.
Chilies (see pic) = $6.50
Beef Chow Fun = $22
Indian Fried Rice = $18
Large Prawn in Mayo with cashew = $24
Jasmine tea = $5.50/ person
Total $120 for three people
If you go online you'll find their menu but no price. Why? Because they're cool like that. No, it's because they want you to come in based on the restaurant decor and let the premium price of beef chow fun slided. It worked on us, or maybe we were butt hungry and don't want to be walking around looking for food.
All three dishes were really good. The flavoring were spot on. It wasn't too salty or too bland. Surprisingly this has been an issue with some of the restaurants I've visited. "Sage" which is considered one of the top restaurants in Aria, their food were way too salty. See Sage review when I get to it.
Skip to recap, this is a funny incident. So we waited for a friend who lives in LV. When he got to our table the first thing he said, aloud was, "I'm so fucking plaster drunk!" He sat down take a drink of the tea, "Fuck this is good. Hey waiter get me a bottle!" Mind you we never met this guy. Then he waved the waiter over and asked if he can smoked a cigarette, "No sir, there's no smoking in here." "Ok, no problem." The waiter walked a way and guess what he did. Yeap, he lit a cigarette. A second later a manager ran over asked him to put it out he said, "Ok, ok" and pursue to sucking on the cigarette repeatedly until there weren't anymore then he putted it out. Hilarious.
I left out something. He offered me a cigarette. I don't smoke don't like smoke but I was done with the food and I like humor and I'm curious. So let's see what would happened. So he and I lit a cigarette. That was fun. I'm sure nobody enjoyed that experience except us. What? I didn't say I'm an angel.
Recaps:
Food flavor spot on
Beautiful restaurant decor
Excellent service
Jasmine tea here is the bomb. They probably grab this from heaven. Best jasmine tea I've tasted now that I think about it.
Pricing is not heaven send, it's -- wait for it... legendary!!! I'm trying to say that it was very expensive. Beef chow fun for $22?! Where I come from Sam Woo bust that out for $3.99 yo! and the tea was free. But then again your in LV can't do apple to apple comparison.
The food were clean and elegant. You can tell the chef/cook got skills. It's not sloppy it's well put together, well timed, well flavors. Well I noticed these things anyway - yeap I was trained and look where it got me, middle of no where. Sorry off topic.
I would go back delicious Chinese food. We left a big tip for being an ass. I'm sure we're forgiven. Heck, they even welcome us back tomorrow.
