The Skinny: The food is not that good (2.5), service is okay (3) value: although the prices here are reasonable, other joints in town offer better tasting fare at the same price.(2.5 starred review).
The hubs and I headed in after the hubby had a hankering for soup noodles. We ordered a plate of marinated cucumbers, a vegetable/leek pie, Lanzhou hand-pulled beef noodle soup and the chicken and mushroom noodle soup.
Service was prompt (we were the only ones there during a weekday lunch).
The plate of marinated cucumbers were definitely bland and needed to be marinated in more vinegar and garlic. Pass on this dish.
The leek and vegetable pie filling was okay. The main problem was the dough was not fried long enough - leaving a more soggy texture. It definitely needed to be more crispy on the outside.
The Lanzhou hand pulled noodle dish was kind of a let down. First of all, given the uniformity of the noodles in the dish - these were not hand pulled noodles. Secondly, the noodles were overcooked and were a bit too mushy for my tastes. The soup was rather lacking in beef flavor. The only redeeming factor was the sliced beef was delicious and melted in your mouth. Other than that though, I would not order this dish again.
The chicken and mushroom noodle soup suffered the same issues with regards to the lack of intensity of the soup base and the texture of the noodles.
Overall, there are other places in Vegas that do the same thing better and at the same reasonable prices. 2.5 stars.
