| - I suppose Noodle Asia fist the mold of the late night "fill-me-up" food, which people seek after a night of drinking in Las Vegas. Maybe I ate here at the wrong time, totally sober, and fresh off of the airplane. My hunger was satisfied, and I must have liked it to a degree, as my plate was pretty much clean, but reflecting back on it, my experience was simply, ok.
There was a total of 6 guys that I went with, and we each got different things, so I was able to sample a couple of things other than what I'd ordered. Shanghai Noodles was my choice. It's a dish of wok-fried noodles with napa cabbage and pork. The plate looked and smelled good, but the noodles were truly too oily. I honestly couldn't help but think of Michael Jackson's 1980's jheri curl, so I suppose I can say that the noodles were straight up greasy. However, one of the guys at my table got beef congee. It had that nice thick porridgey texture that I love, not watery, as I've experienced at too many other establishments. Also, the beef was tender, which I previously thought was impossible in a soup.
Though the noodles, their flagship product, aren't my favorite, I can say that they had excellent service. We were seated immediately, and almost as soon as we sat down, water was at our place settings. Additionally, time between placing our order, and when the first dish was delivered, was relatively quick, and when it arrived to the table, it was piping hot. It is one of the "casual" dining spots in The Venetian, so don't expect a meal to write home about. However, as I hinted earlier, if you're in need of balancing your liquid-to-solid ratio, after boozing, then head on over there.
