| - Stopped by here on Saturday as we had about an hour to eat before an event. We did not want to be late... I wanted to go to KJ's for some authentic chinese food and we ended up coming here as the event was starting and located in Summerlin.
Here we go...
a. The Good - Ok, if you are not used to eating the real authentic chinese food, then you will like this place. It is like an upscale Panda Express with healthy foods choices and a really nice and inviting eat in environment.
- Choices - I like that they have a lot of spicy choices, and you can order many of the items on the list with Chicken, Pork, Beef, or Tofu.
- Brown Rice - Awesome that they have brown rice and this also adds to the healthy
- Fresh - Everything seems so fresh. We Had:
- Honey Seared Chicken with Brown Rice
- Thai Wonton Sooup
- Thai Dynamite Chicken
- Spicy Korean Chicken
b. The Really Good - Their drink and condiment section is totally cool. I don't know why I liked this so much, but it is clean, they have a great deal of choices for drinks, some teas, plenty of cut lemon and orange slices, Fortune Cookies, chili sauce and hot chinese mustard! Oddly, I did not look for, and I don't remember if they have soy sauce, and this would actually get a way from the healthy aspect of the food.
c. The Ambiance - As I said, upscale atmosphere for extremely casual people. You really feel that you are in a well taken care of and top notch cafe.
d. The Bad - The only bad I found was that everything was a bit bland. The Thai Wonton Soup was not very Thai style to me. The taste was a bit off and uninspiring. The Spicy Korean Chicken had a heavy sauce that created all the taste and the chicken itself did not have any of the flavor. Kind of like dipping chicken in kitchen. The sauce was the overpowering flavor and that is not great to me at all.
e. Comeback - I will come back to give this place a second chance. While it is not what I consider really authentic, I will also challenge the healthiness of the food here as even though there is brown rice and some really great looking stuff, it seems that everything is 800-1200 calories and there are so many other better choices for quality food for the same caloric intake.
GK says, not bad, and as long as you know this is totally just an asian influenced cuisine and not really authentic, then you will be very happy.
I give it a 3 star because of the blandness and the overpowering sauces and under performing soup...
