The best Chinese/Szechuan food in Las Vegas. Their food is very addictive once you get used to the spiciness of the food. Once that happens, you can appreciate the deep, complex flavors in each dish.
When we come here, we always have to get at least the Fish in Chili Oil and the Lamb in Hot Pot or Lamb with cumin. They are perfect dishes. Not too spicy or salty, just right.
And though many other restaurants have similar dishes to those, that are just as good, what sets Yunnan Garden apart from the others is their cold dish selection. You get 3 choices for $6. They have these peanuts with fried fish and chili that is amazing. Also, they have this spicy tofu (Kao fu) that is equally as good. And if we don't want to spend the money to eat in, we'll just get the cold dish sides to go.
No one has cold dishes as good as Yunnan Garden, and combined with the high quality of their main entrees is what makes this my favorite.
