Came here last night with my husband and mother in law on a whim without any knowledge what to expect. The restaurant is on the smaller side, able to fit around 50 people max. Our server was very nice and quickly seated us at the booth. The establishment specializes in different hot and cold teas. We started off with a hot green tea Little Melon Seed (Liu An Gua Pian $11) for our group. We didn't know what we should start off so we got an assortment of start items.
Starters:
- Beef Tongue Salad $6.95 ( I was in a heaven!!! )
- Xiaolongbao
- Pan Fried Pork Dumplings $5.00
Mains:
- Squid Ink Fried Rice $14.95
- Double Chili Tiger Shrimp $17.95 (Spicy but my Husband fell in love with the juicy shrimp)
- Garlic Deep Fried Chicken $13.00
Drinks:
- House Made Lemonade $3.50 (To die for!!!)
- Mango Iced Tea (Super delicious)
Overall, there was nothing I could complain about this experience. All the food came out very fast even though it started to get busier as the night progressed. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. This is one of the best kept secrets in Las Vegas and I hope they get business they deserve! The one con, which isn't the restaurants fault, is the parking. I hate that parking lot with a passion seeing as some of my other favorite restaurants are in that parking lot too. Luckily though, because it was a Tuesday, we got lucky and was able to park relatively close to the restaurant. On weekends be prepared to park a little bit farther away or the adjacent parking lot, but Niu Gu is worth the walk! We will be definitely coming back very soon to experience more delicious high class Chinese food!
