| - If you want good Dim Sum, drive a little farther and go to Las Vegas Chinatown. They were located on S Hualapai Wy/Twain in Las Vegas. They are open 7 days a week from 7am-4pm.
When I walked in, there were about a dozen employees standing behind the counter for a staff huddle. One gal seated me and a another guy brought me water.
They had 3 small flat screen tvs and 5 fish tanks. The booths were really hard. They didn't have much cushion to them. Where I was seated, I could hear the kitchen staff and the servers behind me talking and hanging out.
They had nice laminated menus. The only problem was that they didn't have enough menus. A woman tried to pick up my menu after I ordered. But I wanted to hang on to it in case I wanted to order more.
They offered 15 Dim Sum options, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, noodles, fish, From the Wok, and soups. I ordered 4 Dim Sum dishes.
Fried Calamari ($6.50): There were 9 lightly breaded rings of calamari served on a saucer plate. The server asked if I wanted sweet and sour, hoisin, hot chili, or soy sauce. I choose sweet and sour sauce. It was served in a little plastic container. It was watery.
Stuffed Mushrooms ($3.50): There were 4 piping hot mushrooms stuffed with tasteless ground shrimp and calamari served on a saucer plate.
The server brought me hoisin and hot chili sauce in a little plastic container, and a bottle of soy sauce for the dumplings.
Pork Shiu Mai ($2.50): 4 pieces served on a saucer plate. They were filled with ground pork and mushrooms.
Steamed Pork Dumplings ($3): 3 dumplings served on a saucer plate. These were the best out of the 4 items I ordered.
They could at least invest in proper serving plates, offer chopsticks, and have little jars of condiments on the table. They need a website and a Facebook page.
I paid at the counter and left. Paying $18 with tip was way too much for what I got. I won't be back.
