"The tired souls wandered through the desert desperate for respite. Their energies all but drained, all they could hope for was refuge from the heat and a place to refuel."
I just made that up right now...damn I sound like an author...lol. But in all seriousness, it describes accurately how my friends and I felt.
It was our first day in Vegas for the weekend and we were hungry, thirsty, and still getting used to the dry, desert heat. We all vouched to eat food at a place we can't get back home and were gonna hit up the buffets the next day so we wanted something more of a sit down type of dining establishment. So like I usually do I hop on Yelp and find this teppanyaki spot similar to Benihana that I believe was also featured on the Travel Channel. Long story short we make it out there but can't seat us because we don't have reservations and the wait for a table is an hour and a half. So we say "Screw that!...what other spot can we eat!?" So we just happen to come across Satay Asian Bistro and Bar. And I must say I've become truly enamored with the place. Once we entered we were quickly acknowledged and greeted. There is dim lighting and great decor. Sports was on the TV. The food here is a combination of Malay, Thai, and Singaporean dishes. Service was on point but the most importantly the food was delicious.
We ordered Thai beer...Singha...never had it before but enjoyed it.
*Chicken satay stick
* Pork satay stick
* Honey glazed bbq pork
* roast duck
* steamed rice
Portions were generous and reasonably priced. Our server was very courteous and suggested to us some things to do on the night life scene locally. They also throw there own lounge, happy hour, dj event every Saturday no cover. I'll have to go back and check that out someday. This place is off the beaten path...but definitely worth checking out.
