| - Mainland was great, the food, the service, the atmosphere, everything... Which makes me kind of sad that every time I walked in here (2x) it was totally empty. I feel like this might be in part because it's in the Shops at the Palazzo, but still, that's where CUT is, and I'm sure they do just fine. Anyway, the food was excellent- I had the Mainland Ramen, which includes the basic- ramen, pork two ways, pea leaves, fish cake, hardboiled egg, bamboo, scallion, and bean sprouts. The one thing I really liked is that the pork two ways was pulled pork and definitely added to the flavor.
The second time I came here I ordered the same thing because I loved it so much but I also ordered one of their Pineapple- Guava Che, not knowing what a Che is.. Words of wisdom on this one, don't order something if you don't know what it is. This drink had everything but the kitchen sink in it- from beans, to mochi balls, to peanuts, and some guava and pineapple, who knows what else was in there though.. So besides the drink, which was drinkable- minus the beans, Mainland is amazing. Their decor is by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, which is gorgeous. His design is clean, chic, and modern. This restaurant is another great addition to Jonathan Morr's collection of family style seating noodle houses and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Vegas!!
