| - I could not agree more with Adam C's review. The only cool thing about this place is that it doubles as a chinese-restaurant AND a saloon. There's a little corridor between the two.
Practically, it doesn't change anything though. It's really two separate places. If you have chinese food, you have it in the chinese restaurant. A very dark place, with no windows and little or no decorations. So much for the saloon atmosphere.
We went for lunch, and the place was relatively busy. There was only one waiter, a chinese man who couldn't muster English. He didn't look very busy, but it took him a full 5 minutes to acknowledge us and bring us the menus. Then, another full 10 minutes to come back.
We ordered two of the lunch specials: kung po chicken (pictured), and shrimp and vegetables. We asked for a soda, and water.
It took him about 5-6 minutes to come back with the soda and waters, and then another full 10 minutes to come back with the egg-drop soup. You'd think that if it's part of a lunch special and that everybody gets the same, they'd have it ready pretty quickly but no. Didn't taste like anything really.
Another full 15 minutes and we got our entrees. So much for a quick lunch meal! The kung po chicken one of the worst I've ever had. Heck, all the recipes I've tried at home were better. The sauce wasn't spicy at all, and it tastes like the brown sauce that you get on noodles, but not salty. The chicken was fine, but there were almost no vegetables. It was just a very very blend dish.
The shrimp and vegetables meal was average. We counted a total of 7 average-sized shrumps. There were plenty of vegetables in it, which was good. The sauce was a thick white sauce that was more or less flavorless. She ended up stealing my plate to get the sauce for her rice, because hers was even more blend than mine.
Once we were done, we tried to get the waiters attention as he hadn't even come back once to our table and we wanted the check. We had already been there for about an hour, but he was too busy clearing up the dishes and making lots of noise (the dishes were collected right by the entrance of the kitchen, in the dining area. Go figure why.).
In the end, we were very dissapointed. It was super close to our hotel, and we thought a small restaurant food where we could get cheap chinese food AND have a drink would be heaven. But the service was so sloppy, and the food was some of the most blend chinese food I've ever had.
We would never go back, but the place gets a second star just for offering a $4.75 lunch special a block off the strip.
