| - This might be my one and only 5 star review for a westernized Chinese restaurant. I had lunch last Thursday with my sister. She's one of those lucky butts that gets free things from hotels like free rooms and food credit, she's not a high roller so I'm quite perplexed by this. I'm just lucky to tag along whenever I can. She had a $60 food credit for any sls restaurant, we thought about bazaar meat, but couldn't wait for the 5:30 pm start time so I suggested ku noodle instead of umami burger, which you can get all over LA. Best decision for lunch I've ever made while in Vegas and my sister agreed! The food was flavorful, our server Kate was very helpful and friendly.
Food:
Watermelon Radish Salad 5/5
-Nice mellow flavors to ease us into a delicious meal with it's sesame dressing, is there anything sesame oil does not taste good on?
Mushroom Salad 5/5
-This is made with the wood ear mushroom and growing up, we wouldn't eat it like this in a salad so it was an interesting and delicious with it's spicy marinade.
Five Spice Duck 5/5
-This reminds me of my Dad's duck he occasionally makes, but in taco form, also similar to a beef roll, but made with duck! Can't believe I almost forgot this in the review. I know I'm using delicious a lot in this review, but that's what keeps repeating in my head when I think of the food I had here, delicious, delicious, delicious.
Ku Monk Noodle Soup 5/5
-Possibly the best vegetarian dish I've ever had! This soup was so flavorful that you really forget that it's just a vegetable broth base and the only protein is a perfectly poached egg. I can't stop thinking about that soup! The handmade noodles had a nice chew to it, you know, al dente. Definitely get this even if you aren't vegetarian. I'm coming back to get this whenever I can!
Hakka Fried Rice Pot 5/5
-Mmmmmmm..... clay pot cooked fried rice with pork belly, lap cheong, eggs, wood ear mushrooms....... The pork belly tastes like the delicious pork belly my family makes on special occasions. When I ate this I felt like a fool, because I never thought to add pork belly to fried rice, but I can't get to mad at myself, we rarely have leftover pork belly to make it into anything else. I read someone else say that this is like the Korean Dolsot....... All of Asia uses the clay pots! Even though we don't cook rice like this in our house right now, my parents reminisce about the crispy rice layer from the old days. It's rustic, it's delicious, it's all of Asia cooking their rice in clay pots before there were automatic rice cookers.
Cereal Bowl 5/5
-Taiwanese shaved ice!!!!!!!!! The most refreshing bowl of cereal I've ever had. Condensed milk with berries and caramelized crispy rice on thinly shaved ice milk. I'd definitely get this again.
Green Tea Margarita 3/5
-My drinking days are over with liquor. Sadly this is the only thing I won't get again simply because I'm not much of a liquor drinker. We got this with the coupon from the hotel.
Service: 5/5
Kate was great!!! She had wonderful suggestions, always made sure we were enjoying our meal, and that our water glasses were full. There was definitely some great team work going on behind the scenes, making sure we got our food in a timely manner. She actually suggested the cereal bowl and Hakka Fried Rice, glad we were seated in her section, super friendly service!
So to sum everything up, I'll be coming back to get just about the same thing except for the cocktail. It was a delicious combination!!! I don't want to ruin it. I can get siu mai all over the SGV, so I'll pass for now on that. Thank you Mr. Andres for another delicious meal!!!!!!!! I hope the quality is the same when I come back, it will probably be a while until I make the drive up there again.
