| - So, it seems as though (despite having a healthy Asian population), finding good dim sum (outside of Chinatown, and even then...) in Las Vegas borders on the intolerable.
This place is huge, I mean gigantic, every time I have been in there (three times now) it is been all but empty. Across the board, the service was horrifying. What is curious about that, is that I am a three time a year traveler to Asia and the Pacific Rim for business. Everywhere I go from China to Bangkok to Vietnam, and even Australia (technically part of the Pacific Rim and with thriving Asian population); I rarely find rude, or bad service. It is oftentimes curt and efficient but not rude. However, it seems as though I can COUNT ON questionable service from a huge variety of Asian restaurants here in Las Vegas most notably is: East Ocean Dim Sum & Seafood Restaurant.
Now, I am only speaking for me, here in Las Vegas (where I live). Regrettably, East Ocean Dim Sum & Seafood Restaurant has managed to massively fall short on service, quality of food, atmosphere, and responsiveness.
My first two experiences were when the restaurant was relatively new, and I attributed the food and the service to 'being new', and trying to 'shake out the bugs'. My third experience (the one for which I am writing this review) was, if possible, worse than my first two experiences combined despite being many, many months later. The carts were austere (at best), the food was cold (often times a bit slimy), the service was abysmal, I felt as though every request was 'putting someone out', and that my patronage was not only annoying, but superfluous, and undeserved - and also, there was an atmosphere of lackadaisical attention to detail, and a persistent although ever present mild contempt for the clientele.
It is my emphatic recommendation that you skip this restaurant, go to Chinatown, and enjoy less marginal dim sum almost anywhere else...
