This is my go to Chinese food place when I'm in Las Vegas, and since my boyfriend lives here that is quite frequently. My boyfriend told me before coming here that it's a hole in the wall but he wasn't kidding.
Building is not visible from the street, the front says Sonny's Saloon and Diamond Chinese is located on the left back side of sonny's saloon.
Positive:
You can order alcohol from Sonny Saloon 24/7
Quick delicious Chinese food made from a real Chinese man in the back
Nice friendly service... 2 different nice Chinese ladies very sweet and attentive.
Mapa tofu is good.
beef with black bean curd sounds gross but is delicious
garlic chicken yum
Negatives:
SODA is out of a 2 liter!!!! I seen it! oh HAIL no!!! I'm a soda enthusiast and that is not cool
Chicken is kind of suspect... even though I always order it I'm always curious of where the chicken came from. lol
Sometimes when the chef is different you don't know if it may be salty or the usual awesomness.
Remember this is a hole in the wall... but its good food.
I haven't tried many other places but thanks to good old trusty yelp, I just bookmarked up a storm. I'll try those out soon and update for comparison.
