| - Between 2 and 4 stars, so it averages to a 3.
What was 2 stars? The service, the price, and the food. The 2 star service was mostly how we ordered a Diet Coke and a Coke and we got two Diet Cokes and how they brought out a noodle soup dish first and then the other three fried noodle dishes about 10-15 minutes later. The price was a bit much for what you get, although it wasn't unexpected in Vegas, let alone the Bellagio. But seriously, it's noodles. The dish probably costs $2 to make and is usually marked up to $6 or $8 at a normal restaurant....but $15 or $20 here? Pffffft. That's what I have to say about that. The 2 stars for food is for the upset stomach about 20 minutes after leaving.
The 4 stars were for the service and the food. The service was great because no matter how fast I drank my drink, it was rarely empty and when it was, it didn't stay empty for long. I got the spicy dan dan noodles which turned out to be pretty tasty. The ground pork could have been any cut and didn't have much flavor. The spiciness was on the very low side so I had to add a lot of the chili sauce they have on the table. I got to try some of the fried noodle dishes and they seemed pretty similar to each other. But the flat Thai-style noodles were pretty tasty.
Overall, this restaurant is just okay. It's the budget Bellagio meal and it honestly doesn't feel like it belongs in the casino. I think that was because the ingredients are cheap to begin with and the menu was mostly stocked with the standard Asian dishes you can find anywhere else in the country. There were some interesting things, I'll admit, but for the most part I've seen it all before. This sentiment would probably be different if they had something like chicken feet in the dim sum menu, but alas. If you don't want to spend a lot for food, I'd suggest walking somewhere else, you'll get more bang for your buck. I won't go back because there are so many other things that are as good or better for the same price in the immediate area.
