| - Coming to a $$$$ Chinese restaurant on the Strip, I was definitely interested in checking out the taste of the food here. The entry-way was high-end and inviting, but not as a restaurant, more so as a jewelry store. It was a bit difficult to find the restaurant from the start, because you only see its entrance and once you enter, you have to take an elevator up to get to the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is mostly white all around inside under a dome, from which hangs an installation as the wow-factor. The waitress provided us with menus, but was also extremely eager to let them pick-and-choose "chef-recommended" dishes for us instead, so we did that.
Lobster shumai - not that great. I've had much better shumai at dim-sum. Pork chops - pretty good. Very tender and had a good flavor. Peking duck - not served the traditional way. The chef comes and slices pieces of the duck at the table, but they provide you with tortillas in place of folded buns, as would've been traditionally. Lychee martini - sounded good, tasted ordinary. Inception - better than the lychee martini. Had a couple of small dishes that weren't too great for me to remember the quality or experience of, and ordered a few plates of desserts at the end of the meal, and the best out of them was the coconut cake.
My favorite thing about this place was perhaps the clean and simple interior, but in my opinion, not too suitable for a Chinese restaurant. The food was far from authentic, but I didn't quite expect it to be for its high price and the restaurant location. It was an interesting experience overall, but would not recommend it or come back.
