I'm knocking off a star because they didn't have those iconic white with a red pagoda takeout boxes for our leftovers!! How can you call yourself a Chinese restaurant without them?? Ok.... before any snowflakes whine.... it's .... a .... joke!!
Jasmine is a sumptuously delicious restaurant fronting Lake Bellagio, thus showcasing the continuous fountain shows out front. To be honest, a place to eat and watch them was a pre-requisite for this dining experience. And our pick of Jasmine was bomb!!! (I'm old. Did I use that expression correctly?) The food and service were both spectacular!
I find it humorous how stu.... um, how people complain about the cost of places like this. And comment on how small the portions are. Dude. You're in Vegas. You're at Bellagio. This isn't Panda Express. Just how stu... just stick to Panda Express. And just a tip: the Chinese don't actually drown every dish in soy sauce.
Chinese is probably my favorite cuisine after Japanese (mainly sushi) and Italian. The reason I'm not giving five stars is the taste wasn't quite as explosively yummy a flavor fest for my taste buds as I had anticipated. Was good, very good. But, there's another echelon it could have reached. Next time I plan on trying the Peking Duck. That'll be the true test. Can't wait!!
