| - This is a local's favorite Chinese seafood restaurant located in the outskirts of Vegas Chinatown. It's in a strip mall close to McDonald's and KFC about a mile past Decatur on Spring Mountain Road (which was how we were told by the Chinese dealer who recommended it). The decor is no nonsense, with crowded tables placed next to each other and a fish tank full of lobster, crab, and some fish. We noticed they do offer bbq duck as well but none were out on display so they're either hanging in the kitchen or from somewhere else.
We were quickly seated but weren't given menus for another 5 minutes and had to flag down someone and ask. Not sure if this was an oversight or if they didn't have enough menus, but we didn't notice anywhere to pick them up ourselves except for the takeout ones.
We ordered the house crab (per the dealer recommendation), the fried flounder for $5.95, and the pepper beef. Wait, let me reiterate that - a whole fresh fried or steamed, meaty delicious flounder for $6 in the middle of the desert for under $6. Win!!!! The crab was excellent and inexpensive (I think it was about $15), similar to anything you'd find in Alhambra. It came out fast and was surprisingly moist and very crunchy.
The food turned out to be right on the mark, just as the dealer said. The only thing was that we didn't get any soup, which was posted on the lunch menu that we ordered from. It wasn't a big deal, though, and we never asked about it. The place was clean and somewhat busy especially for a late afternoon and so far away from the main Chinatown area. I would definitely come back next time, it's a great find! Service, however, was a little slow to refill out water and get us our menus. There was only about 2 waiters working and 1 busboy I think for the whole place during lunch so it's understandable.
