  • I've been here a couple times while I am in Vegas for business in the past month, and I have to say that for a off-strip Asian restaurant that screams "inauthentic joint - be ware!", I've been pleasantly surprised. Ondori may not be your authentic champion, but I think it does try a blended angle of authentic dishes paired with American diners' taste, in a nicely decorated, spacious and attractive setting. I've always sat at the bar and bartenders/servers are very attentive and offer great service. They have nice selection of Asian beers which I like, and other Asian spirits. One time a server brought me a bai ju that was so terrible and bartender was kind enough to exchange it to a Kirin draft for free - stating that the other server had mistakenly brought a cheap bai ju that was on display solely for display purposes. Among the foods I ordered... 1. Orleans roll - interesting take with cucumber wrap instead of rice, fish wasn't outstanding and overall taste was just ? though quantity was good. 2. BBQ pork bun - this was disappointing because the bottom part where bun meets the paper wrap was all soggy and peeling off... as if someone just hastily microwaved a frozen bun... stay away. 3. Fish with ginger & mushroom (not sure about exact name) - This was recommended by a waiter when asked for a good fish dish, and it did not disappoint. Had nice slabs of flaky fish and chewy slices of mushrooms in a light but tasty ginger sauce. Winner! 4. Oxtail hot pot - Was a bit too greasy and heavy for me... should've done sea bass hot pot. 5. Garlic scallion chicken wings - Interesting flavor but a bit too dry for my taste I have yet to try their tapa-esque "tomodoro" menu because, well, the items looked decisively American-Asian... and inauthentic.. but if you're American diner I think it's a real good bet as the combination choices are hard not to like. By the way, I mean this general tip with respect for American diners. If you're one of those American diners who actually learned to enjoy authentic Chinese, by all means you might do well to stay away. Overall, I think this place deserves recognition for trying to balance the offerings well to suit the general taste of American diners, while giving interesting options of authentic dishes for other diners. I would visit again for convenience and further exploration.
