| - Actually came here as a "mystery shopper," auditing the quality of service and food here a year ago. A quick background on me, I'm Chinese and have been to MANY Chinese restaurants, from trendy to tradition. This particular one, being in Vegas, on the strip, is definitely on the trendy side.
When making a reservation they answered in 3 rings and I was put on hold. They did a good job referring to my name throughout the reservation and asked where I was staying and if I were interested in any shows or other dining options (within MGM of course).
Upon arrival, my friend and I were greeted by the hostess and who I think was the manager, but both weren't wearing any nametags. When we were seated the hostess didn't converse with us, but I didn't feel like it was rude or anything either. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice. There's large booths along with tables that are well spaced from each other. The lighting is medium to low and they tables are set with nice decor. As we seated the first server placed napkins on our laps, showed special drink offers and poured us water pretty eloquently if I may add. He came back within 15 minutes and recommended that we try the spider prawns and wines that would go with the meal. We ordered the spider prawns, lobster fried rice, crispy garlic chicken, honey walnut prawns and dessert (along with white wine).
Food came within 15 minutes and the server entertainingly showed us how to eat the spider prawns. He came back within 5 minutes to check up on us to see if we were doing ok and enjoying the spider prawns. The rest of the food followed promptly and was served by our server along with another. Everything was delicious. I have to say that most Chinese restaurants I've been to have to overtly salty, but I thought this place was perfect and I did not feel the need to have to drink water like a desert camel. The honey walnut prawns were AMAZING. A beautiful presentation also with blackberries, raspberries, and pineapple. I could eat that all day. The lobster fried rice was good and not too dry or salty, while the chicken was moist and flavorful. Again within 15 minutes our server came back and asked how I dinner was and refilled our drinks. We ate, and I was pretty darn full, granted we did order 4 dishes for the two of us though. They came and cleared our dishes promptly and offered coffee for our dessert.
The experience at this restaurant was great. It was definitely geared toward the trendy and expensive side of people and I don't know if I'd ever pay this much for Chinese food again, but it was quite the experience. Service was excellent also. I'd recommend if you had some cash to blow on pretty good food and presentation (albeit Chinese) to give it a shot. As far as their audit went, they scored pretty well and they're still there!
