| - holy sh*t, i love this place.!! literally, sh*t... frankly, having this as one of my favorite digs defies common logic as i KNOW eating here will make me sh*t like crazy later.!
*NOTE this is the same review for their new restaurant. the only difference is layout. the service, price, and quality of food does not diminish from one place to the other.
TIME SPENT
once a week @ Lunch/Dinner times.
LAYOUT
HJnC seems to be a chain and, for Vegas, this location is the older of the two found in Chinatown. unlike their newest store, this location has more of a "dive-in" look. it's an open space look with squared tables and 2/3 half moon shaped booth seating towards the back.
i've stopped coming to this location ever since the new one opened, but i recall the VERY long lines to get in. they have a couple of seats to help with the waiting inside, but those fill up quick, and so it leads to many customers sitting around randomly (sp.?) outside.
also note that ths location has LIMITED parking.! customers tend to park around a adjacent neighborhood or at the shopping center over (tow warning).
this issue may be gone with the new store opening... but, garunteed - HJnC is always crowded nonetheles.^^
SERVICE
no matter which HnJC you're at, the service is OUTSTANDING. people are cheerful and conversational. not only do servers ask what you need, but EVERYONE who works there will also eventually ask what you need.
FOOD
there's an arguement here on how good the food is. as i rave about the taste, my southern friends disagree that it's better back home.^^;
my one CON is the Snow Crab's "freshness" being on par with local buffet quality. i found the shell soft and flavor off (sauce saves it). you are basicly paying $16 a 1ib for something you can pay $24 and eat without limit at a buffet ($15 @ Rio's World Buffet as a local).
i have ALOT of friends who don't like shellfish, so can recommend their sweet-potato fries, shrimp etouffe (sp.?), battered shrimp, and battered catfish as alternate foods... all of which, i don't order, but highly enjoy stealing from those who do.^^
PRICING
on average, i eat 6-8ibs of various items (crawfish, clams, snow crab) which normally run $50-$80. i've had friends do 1-2 ibs of things and spend $20ish... maybe that'll give you a rough idea.
CLOSING
HnJC will leave you with a lasting impression. the service and welcoming you recieve there make it feel like you're eating at home with friends. it also doesn't hurt that all the waitresses are gorgeous to boot.^^ it's as if they the catalogue of Suicide Girls were waitressing the establishment.!
TIPS
1. SAUCES: please don't bother with getting anything under SPICEY. the seafood just tastes bland otherwise. EXTRA SPICEY will make you cry.
2. Wear clothes u don't care about so you don't have to wear those ridiculous looking bibs... some people go as far as wearing hamburger helper gloves to eat.! please save yourself the embarrassment of looking stupid.
3. i like to save whatever sauces is left over and pour them into one bag to go. i know - it sounds YUCK... but the sauce is great with everything you cook. Omelletes (sp.?), over dry noodles with egg, etc.
