| - Ate here twice mainly because my dad insisted on it. The first time was at 12am and I was super tired but hadn't had a late night eat in a long time so was really excited about it. Waited a few minutes for a table and got seated relatively quickly. We have heard how great this place is, how their beef stew noodle is great, and etc. So we ended up eating and my dad had Taiwanese beef stew and my mom had the won ton soup. Both agreed it was good and portions were generous. The gf had congee which was average and I had the hainan chicken rice which was disappointing. Rice was dry, chicken just didn't look fresh, and then I thought to myself why did I order rice in a place that is named noodles? Man I really missed out on that one.
So the next night after happy hour, we came back again. And honestly speaking this place is probably the least expensive place you'll find in Bellagio. We ordered noodles, fried rice, greens, roti naan bread, century egg, cucumber salad, and bbq pork/chicken. Why did we order the chicken after seeing how it was last night? No idea but even though it was a different kind of chicken it wasn't a winner winner. The bbq pork was much better than the chicken and better than a lot of places in SF. The fried rice, eh, it was okay, not great but not bad. The roti naan bread passed, the century egg was okay (not a big fan), and the cucumber salad was too sweet. The greens and the noodles (see?) were the winners.
We actually ate a lot as the portions are generous. Would I come back? Even though I'm giving it three stars, I enjoyed the restaurant very much. Service was great, decor is nice, maybe I was just happy eating out late with my parents like when I was young but I would come back because for a five star hotel restaurant the pricing isn't that bad.
