Diamond China 2

Hot n Sour cup of soup only $ 1.50 was very good.
Chicken egg foo young was very average at best, with only three pieces and minimal chicken.
Special chow mein was served as lo mein, but I did not complain about the mix up. Yes, there is a difference in the noodle preparation, whereas chow mein is a fried crispy noodle and lo mein is a soft boiled noodle. Regardless, a small portion served.
Hot tea was good. Ice water needs a water filter.
Cashew chicken was good with special request to cook the cashews to soften them and the softened cooked cashews came out perfect.
Each entrée was under $ 10 bucks. Based on past experience here since 1996, I believe the take-​out portion sizes are larger than the dine-​in portion sizes.
The booths adjacent to the kitchen wall have tables that vibrate as the dishes are being cleaned on the other side of the wall. So we moved tables to another location which was a large comfortable booth.
The dining room green carpeting needs a vacuum and the men’s room needs a cleaning. Nice Chinese wall décor at each booth.
We were among two tables occupied at 7:30pm and the service was very slow, very friendly, but very slow. Slow to cook, slow to clear used dishes, slow to get bill, slow to process transaction and of course this was the night we were in a bit of a rush!
In her defense of being slow, I must admit the lady working here was the hostess, waitress, answering phone for take-​out/​delivery, cashier and liaison to chefs.
Tonight only deserved 2 stars.

I came across Diamond China 2 by accident. There were a couple of hours to use wisely ahead of my doctor’s appointment at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists near Mountain View Hospital. After the twenty mile drive from Henderson I was up for a Chinese Restaurant luncheon special. I was driving around the area when I decided to pull into the Lake Mead at Buffalo Smith’s-anchored shopping center to see if there is a Chinese Restaurant. I was in luck when I saw Diamond China 2.
Before stepping inside, I checked out their luncheon special menu hanging on the window. The luncheon special that is served Monday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 3 pm looked worthwhile. This menu separates the luncheon special into three price points ranging from $ 5.50 to $ 6.95. Corresponding to this review are pictures of the luncheon special and restaurant menus. The luncheon specials include a choice of white or fried rice, skinny crunchy noodles with duck sauce, hot tea, and eggflower soup for dining in. The $ 5.95 price point includes two cheese puffs, and the $ 6.95 price point includes one piece of egg roll. In similar style to many of the Chinese restaurants, the highest price point includes the shrimp-​based entrees.
Diamond China 2 is a rectangular shaped restaurant. The rectangle is divided into two rooms. Customers walk into the left room where the take out counter, cash register, and view of the kitchen are. Customers that are dining in proceed into the room on the right.
The dining experience was more casual than the take-​out atmosphere in a Chinese Restaurant that would include New York Chinese or China Go Go. This is a full service restaurant. And good service at that. The waitress, hostess, and cashier, who’s name I believe is Grace was exceedingly polite.
At the time of further reviewing my choices, there was a pot of hot tea with a cup and a bowl of skinny crunchy noodles with duck sauce rested on the clean table. I have reviewed several Chinese restaurants in the Las Vegas metropolitan area and never have I seen the waitress offer complimentary hot tea. The hot tea is delicious here. Too bad I have been unsuccessful finding the quality of hot tea that Chinese restaurants serve in a Starbuck’s. But that is another review all together. I selected the chow mein soft noodles. They served it on a plate divided by fried rice to the left and the chow mein soft noodles to the right. It was delicious and in my opinion far better than the chow mein noodles served in China Go Go that are more filler than tasty. And those onions that were interspersed with the chow mein noodles added to the deliciousness of the entrée. Between the crunchy noodles and the entrée, I enjoyed a bowl (not a cup) of eggflower soup.
The best part of this lunch was that before a well-​deserved tip, all this came to $ 5.95. That’s a few dollars less than a fast food restaurant. The Diamond China 2 luncheon special was $ 5.95 well spent.

This is place is clean the server is very attentive. Food was brought to us within ¹⁰⁄₁₅ after we placed the order. Came for the lunch special they’re priced very well. Will definitely come back. Delicious!

Great customer service, the owner tried really hard to have a connection with all of her customers. I enjoyed the fact that we get free hot tea and fried wontons with sour sauce, that is definitely a good touch. The food is good at a very reasonable price. However, there is nothing special to it, you pretty much get what you pay for.
So if you are looking to fill your tummy at a cheap price, this will be a good place to come!

Just moved into town. I am sick (sore throat and fever). Needed a good wonton soup. Rolled the dice with this Chinese restaurant and WON big time!!! Amazing homemade wonton soup! Delicious!

I was looking for a new Chinese place to check out near home and after passing on one because they did not have the dish I was in the mood for, I settled on Diamond China 2. It was my first visit and I am impressed. The place does not stand out physically by any means. Not from the outside anyhow. When you first walk in it does not seem any better. The front counter looks like any Chinese take-​out place. Nothing special about it. But I was quickly greeted and seated in a very friendly manner. Service with a smile is a truism here. The dining area is very clean and not in the least bit gimicky like some other Chinese places around town. This is classy without being gaudy. The blue floral print on the benches and seats if soothing and comfortable. It also brightens up the room a bit.
I began looking immediately to the noodle section of the menu. I wanted chow fun noodles, my new favorite. Before I found the dry style beef chow fun and decided on that, I was brought a pot of hot tea, a glass of ice water and a bowl of crispy fried noodles with sweet and sour. It was like they read my mind. Soon, the waitress came back to take my order. She asked me if I ever had the dish before and told me a bit about it. «Fun with bean sprouts and beef» and «True Hong Kong style» were how the dish was described to me. I was also assured this was her favorite dish. Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t. I sure liked it though. The noodles were not as dried out and chewy as at some other places I have ordered chow fun from. They were still tender but with that trademark chew of a rice noodle without being like rubber. The beef was tender and delicious. Maybe a bit sparse but honestly, with the bean sprouts and green onions mixed in with the noodles, the amount of beef was hardly disappointing. I still came away full and floating away after a pot of tea and three glasses of water on top of my meal.
I’ll be checking this place out again. The food is good. The service is excellent. And the pricing is about average.

If paying with debit or credit, orders under $ 10.00 have a .50 charge. Not a big deal to have a good lunch special. =)

It was our first tome after living in summerlin fir two years, and it was a packed house on a sunday night. We had the beef chow fun and salt/​pepper shrimp. The chow fun came with gravy, bit it was savory with bok choy, carrots and baby corn. The shrimp was the right amount of crispand flavor. All the seafood was decently priced, and probably have been the last ten years. Friendly service, tasty food, will save me from always going to chinatown!

We moved away in 2008, but before that we lived in Vegas for 11 years & this place was our go to Chinese restaurant. My buddy & I went 2 days ago & we were thoroughly disappointed, the soup was congealed & the main dishes were really greasy & not good. I’m still a bit bummed, at least Archi’s is still great for Thai. It looks like the owner is still the same, perhaps they lost the chef.

Nice neighborhood Chinese restaurant w/​the usual Americanized Chinese food. Good lunch specials and family plan menu. I enjoy the tofu and vegetables and their egg rolls. Service is adequate and they speak English. Don’t expect Chinatown food but for quick, tasty chow mein or chop suey old school style this place works.

Horrible food very salty and greasy. They forgot one of our orders but the food was so bad we canceled it and left you pay for what you get gross never again

I also have been coming to this place for many many years with my family. The prices are reasonable, it’s close to home, and their menu has really yummy go-to’s :-)
Personal recommendations:
— Salt and pepper pork! — not too salty, full of flavor and pretty hefty amount of food for ~$ 7
— Roasted Duck — I love duck, and I seriously think this duck is close to the best in the planet. It’s so moist, not overly drenched in soy sauce, and the skin has an awesome way of staying crispy! It’s bomb with white rice
— Schezuan Chicken Salad — standard lettuce salad with wonton crisps and tons of chicken. For dressing, it’s a mix of chili peppers and soy sauce, and… while this dish isn’t so complicated, and I have doubt that this is actually served in Schezuan, China… It’s still really tasty and I do have the occasional cravingzz for it
On another note, I’ve slowly been moving towards the vegetarian sides of things, and while this restaurant has some really awesome non-​v options, there are only a few solely vegetarian options. Their Schezuan Bean Curd is good but not so special. It’s basically just soft tofu in a thick, savory sauce. Last, still no brown rice up in heaaa! #saynotodiabetes

I have been going here since I was a little kid. The food had always been consistent and delicious. Even if I haven’t been there in a while, the waitress always recognizes me and knows my order. BEST WONTON SOUP EVER!

A few days after being diagnosed with both strep throat AND the flu, I came here for some soup to go. The lady at the front was very busy, but she quickly came to the front to greet me and let me know she’d be right with me. I told her I’d be ordering take out and so she gave me their menu before tending to one of the guests at a booth. She came right back, and I asked a couple questions about 2 of the soups and she explained exactly what was in them. I chose the wor wonton soup and it was delicious! It was piping hot, full of cabbage, very tender shaved pork, shrimp and lots of delicate wontons. It also came with crispy wontons with sweet/​sour sauce which I hope to enjoy once my throat is no longer sore. I look forward to trying other dishes here soon. They have a nice looking lunch special for only 5.00 too!
This is a small sit down place, but they also deliver, as well as allow take out.

I’ve been eating here for about 20 years and is my hands down favorite place in Vegas.

Love reading the reviews on here… If your ordering the Kung Pao or Orange Chicken… Let alone cheese puffs. Then do yourself a favor & just go to Panda Express! This place is close to the house & some what authentic enough to pass for Chinese. If I don’t have the time or energy to get real Chinese from Chinatown… This place works in a pinch! Yes. Real Chinese. Not American Chinese. What I mean by real. — KJ Kitchen, Cathay House, Bund Shanghai…

We order take away from this restaurant often. The food is always yummy, ready on time and as promised, and the staff is friendly. The prices and portions are also great. We always have enough food for another meal or 2 afterwards. Oh and the cheese puffs are AMAZING! What more can you ask for in a restaurant?

The sweet smile and pleading eyes of the woman serving me begged me to love this restaurant. Unfortunately, my love can only extend to her, and not the rest of this establishment.
The food was very cheap, and servers sweet. I’ll give them that, but those are the only good things I can say.
The egg drop soup, flavorless. Actually had to add salt. Egg rolls: so oily. my hands were covered in oil from one egg roll. The kung pao chicken. I think it actually had jaelpeno’s in it… Did not taste like kung pao chicken at all.
I sort of feel bad for people who’ve been raised here, and think this is what chinese should be. This is nasty! There’s better chinese here; it just takes a good search to find.
Oh, my beer glass was covered in smudges and hard water stains… ick!

I eat here pretty frequently with my family. Great place! We usually get the «Family Dinner» which is $ 11.50 as of this writing per person (x2 for two adults). Comes with your choice of soup, egg drop or wanton, and both are great. Then a plate of egg rolls, fried shrimp and wantons. Then your meal. Favorites of mine include kung pao, and «chicken with black bean sauce.» All the while, you also get crispy wantons to eat and tea to drink.
Now the décor is slightly dated here but that is fine by me. Everyone is super friendly and remembers us whenever we visit. I think it is a great value and very good food for the money. I have also gotten said «family dinner» to go, and they boxed it up perfectly fine, literally in a box so it was easy to carry. I think they go the extra mile to make sure you have a good experience. For a town built on that reputation I am telling you, such a thing is becoming harder to find and you should vote for good service with your hard earned dollars whenever you get the chance!

The Good — Orange Chicken. It was standard issue.
Even if I was partying and desperate for munchables I wouldnt go to Diamond China 2.
Had 3 different beef dishes and everything from the veggie rolls to the fried rice to the main dishes had this overwhelming bitter taste. It was dirty food.
I was honestly shocked that the orange chicken didnt have that same taste as it was most likely fried in the same oil.
