| - When I was little, I remember being told that too much salt was bad for you. I don't remember why this was so, but I think it came from the FDA or some other governmental agency. As a scientist, I've always been curious to read the reports myself or at least determine where the funding came from, but to tell you the truth, I'm too lazy.
Later we were told that salt in larger quantities was, in fact, not as bad as originally determined when accompanied with proper hydration. I have no evidence for this, but I think these reports were probably funded by a Wolfgang Puck conglomerate! Jaysus! I'm still trying to hydrate myself after my meal at Chinois.
Originally, I thought the food here was OK, but in retrospect, the food was actually only a little better than cafeteria food. I can get better quality food at a Wolfgang Puck Express. My sushi roll was almost flavorless, and this is even with unagi, avocado, and "special" (meaning the oddest shade of gray) sauce on top. Even the pork spareribs were lacking in flavor. I did taste a hint of Chinese flavors, but only a hint. For the degree of stickiness the ribs were, you would expect there to be an abundance of flavor, but sadly this was not the case. The sign in front say "Chinese Fusion", but I'm not quite sure what it's fused with - perhaps with a little bit of crappy cuisine.
With tax and tip, I spent almost $50 for one appetizer, one sushi roll, and a cocktail! They say you have to bet big to win big in Vegas, but you just LOSE VERY BIG at Chinois. The two stars are for the great service from the bar guy, and the tasty cocktail.
