| - Hello from Japan!
For those following my reviews, I am Yelping from Sendai city in beautiful Miyagi prefecture (two hours north of Tokyo). I am working here as an ALT, so I'm going to be here for a while. I'm going to get my last reviews in because I miss Yelp, and wish I could yelp some of the great places I've been to here in Japan.
(Sorry for that tangent... on to the review!)
I came to Paymon's about a month ago when I was supervising a group of international students to Sin City. Echoing my previous reviews, I find that the best restaurants and treasures in Vegas definitely come from the locals, and it wasn't long before buddy Francis C. took me here for a late lunch.
Paymon's specializes in Mediterranean café style foods- a cuisine I've never really touched before, so my choices here were definitely on the safe side. Conveniently located a few blocks away from the Strip, Paymon's offers a great atmosphere to enjoy a nice meal, as well as a hookah bar right next door (however, you must be 21 or older to enter). When we went, we sat in between the restaurant and the bar in this extremely nice patio area, where natural sunlight was where it was at.
Service that day was decent. We placed a few orders of fries, and I ordered the chicken marsala for my hefty meal. Our food took a bit for it to come out, which confused us because a couple of other parties received theirs before ours (and we felt it was a pretty small meal). When I finally received my chicken marsala, I was ready to sink my mouth into that piece of chicken. In terms of the taste, the flavors didn't do much for me. It wasn't bad at all, but nothing about my meal struck me. The piece of fried chicken breast was okay, and my sauce over the noodles were simply average. However, they do give a good sized portion for you hungry gamblers out there.
Even though my meal wasn't completely mind-blowing, I did enjoy the French fries and the on-and-off lighting inside the patio. Next time I come, I will definitely venture off and try the more Mediterranean options that Paymon's is known for.
Parking is plentiful outside in a private lot with other businesses.
