| - My-oh-My! Unlike the other two very negative reviews we had a very nice meal with decent enough service.
Now, I was a bit leery when we were invited to eat at the Riviera, but our friends said the place was good and it was their treat. So off we scoot to the old dame at the north end of LV Blvd.
OK, so, this isn't some fancy hip cool kind of place. Just like the old Riv, the restaurant looks like it has seen better days. But thank goodness, no roaches showed up uninvited ad the other Yelper had.
Well, service was adequate, kind of friendly in a clunky non-assuming way, just decent regular diner kind of service.
But the food, believe it or not was really very good and seemed to us quite authentic. Too often what we find is Chinese that is too greasy or just unappetizing, but this food reminded us of the really, really good Chinese cafe's in Vancouver, BC, where the Chinese food is really good..
We had lots of stuff and lots of things that were quite good, hot and tasty. I am sure glad I didn't have the others experiences, but over all we were very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to return. Now, if I'd found a roach, yuck, there is no way I'd return, but I thankfully didn't and I can give a thumbs up to the Banana Leaf for good Chinese diner kind of food.
