| - I knew I was in for a treat before I even stepped in the door for lunch today- I could smell the food from the parking lot.
After reading several yelp reviews on this place, I decided to try the Wonton soup (4.99) and the two meat combo plate with steamed rice (6.99). The lady at the counter must have known it was my first time there, because she practically grabbed my hand and walked me over to the hanging pork and duck. The roasted duck was a little fatty for my liking, but the BBQ pork was amazing.
The pork was super tender and had a sweet flavor. I recommend adding a little chili oil to the pork! The combo plate came with about 10 slices of each protein , steamed rice and greens. At first I thought they were green onions, so I put them off the side. Upon further review, I added them back to my plate and was glad I did.
Unfortunately, I didn't agree with previous yelp reviews on the Wonton soup. The broth reminded me of miso soup and seemed to have a fish stock base to it. The Wontons themselves contained shrimp -which I did not expect. Since I am not a huge fan of shrimp, I can't confirm that this is the best version of Wonton soup in Las Vegas (as other have claimed).
The restaurant is clean, and well organized. There is a large menu on the wall behind the cash register that makes it easy to order. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, and was still piping hot when I got back to work. I love this place, and can't wait to come back.
