| - Wing Lei? What a joke. The funny thing is I agree with Randal R about Red 8. Red 8 is a better restaurant than Wing Lei. And Red 8 is about 2x-3x cheaper.....and trust me, Red 8 is not known to be a "great" restaurant....just a quick stop to get a couple asian dishes, have a few beers, and then go out.
Wing Lei is no different from the typical Chinese restaurant anywhere in the country. Look, if I want to get mediocre Chinese food, there's one on every block in the Bay Area. I suppose they wanted to have a "upper-end" Chinese restaurant in Vegas, so they got the hype machine working. Wynn, the whole asian thing, Michelin ratings, etc, etc. I hate to compare any Chinese establishment to Panda Express, but honestly, Wing Lei is near that level. Ok, ok, maybe I have a more dour opinion on the place because it's 4-5x more expensive than your average Chinese restaurant...I know, I know, it's Vegas. But honestly, the food is mediocre!
Look, I so wished this place kicked ass.....I wish there was some fantastic, spectacular Chinese restaurant in Vegas that absolutely blew all the other Chinese restaurants away. I wish the cuisine was so divine, that I could sit back and say to myself, "wow, now THAT's the difference between a great Chinese restaurant and a spectacular one....I always wanted to see what that would taste like, and now I know". Well, I'm still on the hunt. And excuse me while I take my $ elsewhere.....
