| - I was craving some good Chinese food and I knew that the restaurant scene in LV caters to all of the out-of-town visitors, so I was hoping to find a place like HK.
Located in a strip mall in the oriental part of town (Chinatown?), I would not have come here unless it was recommended. The outside, so often misleading, would lead one to believe this is another mediocre Chinese-American restaurant.
The service was haphazard and spotty, no doubt due to the language barrier and me using my pigeon-talk mixture of the little Cantonese I retained from childhood and simple english.
We did get our order in, and in short order the food began to collect on our table. There was soup, a chicken and corn soup and a shrimp soup, both good as appetizers. Then, everything from steamed fish (flounder) to fried tofu, walnut shrimp, pot stickers, sauteed baby bok choy, garlic chinese green beans, roast duck, and a clay hot pot (bitter cucumber and ribs)! Although it was all very good, the crowd I was with really enjoyed the tofu and veggies (green beans and bok choy) above the other dishes.
This was a dinner to remember! At least, until I get to HK, SF or LA!
