| - Last night 23 of us went to dinner at China Mama's, most of us for the first time. We loved it! While there were a few who got meals that weren't up to par (including me) the general opinion was that this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Vegas area. This review is from the 8 of us who occupied one table - we shared all of the dishes ordered:
AS we were being seated the waiter passed a few dishes of very cold Spanish peanuts to munch on. They were REALLY addictive.
PROS: We all agreed that the potstickers were the best anywhere. Perfect amount of dough in the wrappers, good filling and there were 10 in each order. Doctored up the soy dipping sauce with vinegar and shredded ginger for great finish. 5 stars for this one.
Because so many of the previous posters touted the scallion (green onion) pancakes we decided to order 3 of them. WOW. Awesome is the only word to describe them. Not greasy, and fresh tasting.
Orange Chicken in Sizzlling Plate was excellent! Not coated heavily with a lot of gunk, and the taste was soooo delicious. This was a favorite.
Same for the Sesame Chicken.
Stir Fried Crispy Beef was just plain fabulous. We ALL agree this was as close to perfect beef as you can get. The waiter informed us later that this is their number one seller. I can see why. This one is a keeper and will order it again.
The Cashew Chicken was also a winner.Although a little heavy on the garlic the sauce was excellent. We like it that way apparently.
When I lived in Detroit, my favorite soup was Pork and Pickled Radish in Broth. I haven't seen this soup in 23 years so this was a real treat and it was loaded with noodles, maybe more than I wanted but the soup itself was very, very tasty with lots of pork strips. No one at our table had ever heard of this soup and loved it.
CONS: My original order was Beef Hot Pot in Garlic Sauce. Wow, this was so bad I couldn't eat it. Had to send it back. The beef chunks were all fat and gristle. Very rubbery. They took it back agreeing that it was below par. Ordered the Stir Fried Beef instead. Glad I did!
The Pork Chow Mein had a different taste than most we've had and an unusual orange color. Not a favorite.
Shrimp Fried Rice uses all white rice and very little seasoning. Very few shrimp in this order.
Won Ton Soup, just okay. Not much flavor but still good. I would recommend other soups.
The bowls of dry noodles passed around the table upon seating (I guess we were supposed to dip them in the plum sauce) were very stale. No matter, we wanted FOOD.
All in all we agreed that the food here is excellent and no one can like EVERYTHING on the menu. We all would go back again for sure since we're locals. By the way, the service all 23 of our party received was exceptionally good.
