| - The past few times I have visited Vegas, I have been in search of a damn good Chinese restaurant. The mister was craving some Chinese food, so we busted out Yelp on his iPhone and Joyful House was highly recommended. Per some suggestions made by other Yelpers, I ordered the pan fired spinach in garlic sauce, the sauteed shrimp in sweet and sour sauce, e-fu noodles, and 1/2 order of peking duck.
The food was alright. Nothing that kicked my socks off. The peking duck was dry and slightly rubbery. Also, they didn't even serve it with the bao bread or those puffy chips. I liked the e-fu noodles, but it was a tad bit salty. The shrimp was average and the spinach is something I could've cooked, so it wasn't special to me.
If this place is the best Chinese restaurant in Vegas, then I am afraid to try the other places. Perhaps I have higher expectations since I have tasted great Chinese food back in Cali like in Chinatown, Monterrey Park, Alhambra, Rowland Heights, etc. I won't give up, the next time I am in Vegas, I will try another place and see how it is.
