| - I have been to this place 3 times. And it went from 3 star to 2 star and finally stayed at 2 star.
First of all, severely over-prized. Average dish price is around $7 if not more. The portion are small. Initially, it gets a 3-star for a good shaved ICE that is not available in the entire valley of Las Vegas, and the only similar shaved ice can only be found in southern California. This is the highlight of their dish.
However, their hot dishes are average at the most. Over priced and portion very small. Having taste buds that is spoiled by authentic stuff in southern california and Los angeles, this place will be out of business within few weeks if it were there. However, rarity survives and unfortunately there is not competition in vegas.
That being said, a few things that really upset me. Most of all is their pricing. A few examples are: Their pig ears and all the "small appetizer plates" that they have in the fridge are a total rip off at $5 a dish. I can get those less than $3 in any other decent place. I don't know if they're paying for the expensive rent at the location. The spicy Wonton has 8-9 pieces of wonton in a very small place for a costly price, that was the most ridiculous dish. The crispy chicken rice is decent, but again, over-priced. Taiwanese sausage rice is not bad, but again, overpriced. I've tried most of their dishes before I wrote this review, and it's sad because being one of the few Taiwanese cuisines, they have so much potential but completely screwed it up. I'm going to say I will not go back there again.
Word of advice: With the price you have to pay, you might as well go next door to decent Japanese Restaurants, or all you can eat sushi, or even tea station next door.
Overall, it is very disappointing.
