Never quite acquired taste for steaks so coming to vegas I’m always looking for authentic Asian food especially Taiwanese style. Happy to say this is the best place I’ve found so far. Probably 4 Stars for food but 5 Stars for easing my cravings for my taste buds after 3 days away from home!

Came here second time on this trip to Vegas. From a Taiwanese/Chinese perspective, this place is pretty authentic. The pork chop rice dish and the veggie stir fried noodle were great. The beef noodle was okay, and the pork ramen was decent. Combining the two visits, well deserved 4 stars. If my wife who is pretty picky with food likes it, it can’t be bad like other reviews.

Came here after a disappointing dinner to get some good food into our system. Unfortunately, unlike my friends, i did not find the food to be good, just OK. I had the Spicy(Ma La) Noodle, thinking that it would be a dry(or stir fried) noodle dish, but ended up getting a bowl of noodle soup. The broth was spicy but one dimentional. There was some ground pork and about 3 slices of pork belly(that wasn’t well seasoned). It was edible, but not satisfying, and I believe the broth was what made the dish weak for me. I also ordered the Yam Leaves. They were over-sauteed in the the leaves became somewhat mushy. Some of the stems should have been cut off and disgarded as they were hard to chew(on of my friends actually had to spit out some because the stems were too fibrous, a sign that the vegetable is not young and at it’s prime tenderness). The menu is limited, offering more ramen soups than Northern Chinese noodle soups/noodle fair. They have pictures of desserts and dessert/boba drinks posted on the walls inside the restaurant. However, they do not serve dessert(WTH, false advertisement), so take note.

Had the beef brisket soup. Not a particularly good place but on the other hand the food is not bad. I had requested to have the msg be left out so the soup was not as flavorful but nonetheless preferred it to be left out. The fried yam leaves were tasty and so were the 3 cup chicken. I suspect this is the kind of place where I have to find the dishes I like and the yam leaves is one of them.

Horrible service and attitude, shitty food :) We asked for rice politely and the bald guy just started yelling at us like he owns the place… My grandpa told him to stop that attitude, he told us not to waste his precious time and walked away. This experience totally ruined my morning, we walked out with a bad mood while the bald guy giving us dirty looks.

I’m positive the ramen here is made with sewer water. It smells and taste like it was made in a toilet. I took a bite and had to fake an emergency to get out of there. Unfortunately due to the excitement and kindness of the host I paid $ 12(regrettable) and got a to go box to not offend. I then swiftly threw it in the trash two stores down. I would have given it to a homeless person but didn’t want them to die of dysentery.

This is a true 2.5stars restaurant as reflected on Unilocal!We were in a rush to get dinner and didn’t check on Unilocal. We ordered an appetizer of Taiwanese sausage and it was cold and little. $ 6.99 for that — it was definitely not worth it! Another plate of mushroom mince meat rice — cold as well! 2 orders of tonkatsu ramen… seriously my homemade 99cent ramen tasted better than that and they were $ 8.99 each. Do not bother trying this place.

Worst breakfast I’ve ever had, and they are expensive too. I won’t recommend it to anyone who expect a good Chinese breakfast.

It was the second time I’ve had ramen in Vegas. I probably could have had better options but it was a spur of the moment decision. I’ve passed by this place a couple of times but I have always passed over it when deciding where to have dinner, but I have always passed by the pictures. the Beef Brisket noodles always caught my eye and I finally had it. The build up was worth it they were very good. We also had some pan noodles. Those were very yummy. They’re Thai Tea was definitely not the best I’ve ever had but their Passion Fruit Slush was pretty good. Their Mango Slush was alright. This place isn’t very good for other dishes besides noodles. It’s a bit over priced so I probably won’t go again but it’s a good one time thing.

Closer to 1 ½ star. Located where Mr. SANDWICH in the Chinatown mall used to be. We came here late night. We ordered the 3 cup chicken and pork belly plates and lemon white gourd tea with nata jelly. My bf compares this taiwanese restaurant to cafeteria-style meal. Our food came out quick like 5 mins lol and then I understood. No real cooking involved I think. All food is already prepared and ready to go. Just requires plating. The pork belly was good I liked it. Not one the sweet side and wasn’t too salty. The rice had some minced pork and was seasoned with the minced pork sauce which gave it flavor which i liked. He got the 3cup chicken and it was on the overcooked dry side. Like not enough sauce? Was not too fond of it, reminded me of filipino chicken adobo. The meat ration was definitely small. I had three pieces of pork belly, one big, medium and small. He had small pieces of chicken. I forgoed the side veggies. I got a tingly feeling on my tongue after eating the cucumbers and was scared to try the peppers lol. the egg was hard boiled and I usually prefer mine soft boiled We both actually liked the white gourd tea with lemon however, They gave us rainbow jelly instead. we pointed to our server the nata but we got rainbow instead so we just stuck to it. I also wished they gave us more ice in the drink. The language barrier is certainly there. we had to ask for water and I requested it with lots of ice. A younger lady was about to hand us a water bottle but we asked just for«ice water» and still there was not enough ice as most of the ice was already melting. I ate earlier so I was a little full after but he on the other hand had to go to a neighboring restaurant and ordered beef roll to go to satisfy himself. Typical Chinese fast food service you can’t expect much from.

Authentic Chinese food with cafeteria dinning style. Which is not to say food is inferior. Quite contrary food is authentic and very tasty. You see, cafeteria style food in E Asia means you see the food before ordering it; all the food are laid out in for you to choose. They’ve done cafeteria food proud. However I was surprised to learn rice costs $ 2. I’ve never heard a Chinese restaurant charging extra just for rice. I order 3 small portioned dishes plus rice for a dinner box to go, it came to almost $ 11. Perhaps being in Chinatown their business is mainly tourists. Just saying.

We went there last evening as a last-minute place to grab some food after having foot massages at a local establishment. It was empty. However, the girl at the register was very sweet but had limited English capability. My boyfriend ordered a bowl of Ramen I commented on a Seafood ramen but yet wanted some fried noodles. I guess she didn’t understand what I said and gave me the seafood Ramen. It was good, but I’m not really a super Ramen fan. Not great on a seafood flavor either as there are things in the bowl I don’t like the flavor of. After we came in, we noticed three different Asian people coming in and noticed that there was a buffet like table, which she asked them what they wanted and it was put on a plate or in a to go box. I wish we had known about that, she gave us a limited English menu when we came in that had pictures. Had we known about the buffet, both of us probably would have tried it And inexpensive, it was under $ 20 for two people. We would probably not go back, but try others in the area because there are so many restaurants to choose from.

This is an OK Taiwanese diner located in the Chinatown plaza. The service was a bit slow, and they totally forgot my sister’s order of a strawberry smoothie. I got the braised pork over rice with pickled vegetables. It was okay, but it was definitely not the best braised pork I’ve had. My sister got ramen, and the broth just tasted like chicken broth. She thought the noodles tasted like«rubber bands» which is not a good sign. The bubble tea was pretty decent. The tapioca was very chewy.

One of my moms friends recommended this place so we went and had lunch yesterday. We did their $ 7.99 special of 3 dishes and porridge(if you’ve read my other reviews you’ll know I’m mostly paleo so I ordered the porridge aka congee for the other ppl at the table). So what you do is go further into the restaurant and choose the dishes(on the left) that you want and then have a seat. I wanted two meat dishes and was told that I could only get 1, so it’s 1 meat and 2 veggies. So I got the braised chicken drumsticks, cabbage and bamboo shoots. There were 3 pieces of chopped drumstick which probably made up of one full drumstick, the favor was spot on on what braised Taiwanese meat should taste like so that was good but man I was still hungry after the meal. The cabbage was ok, typical veggie dish and the bamboo shoots were bla. My mom said it’s bcs it’s canned. So this place received an A for inspection which is cool since they have an open kitchen and was preparing food right in front of us but the smell of sewage was gross. I mean I know it’s not their fault for a bad building foundation and drainage but if you are going to dine in, try and sit by the front. The waitress didn’t bring any water or tea so you’ll just have to make sure you ask for it. They had Chinese news playing on the TV screen. All in all it was an ok meal. I think if they gave a little more in portions it would be worth the meal. My mom is still gripping about the price today haha

I happened to be at Chinatown today and decided to randomly walk in this place. Nothing fancy, nothing spectacular. Honestly in Chinatown, we shouldn’t expect any type of customer service. At least the girl at cashier was smiling… I appreciate the fact that they put pictures of food on the menu. When I see the name and its description, it’s not as appealing to me. After looking at the menu, I decided to order Three Cups of Chicken Rice(or something similar to that) which came with marinated chicken, rice and some veggies. Chicken was too salty for my taste and was dry. I also noticed there were a lot of tiny bones in there. My friend ordered Pork Belly Rice and it was pretty good. Pork belly rice also came with rice and veggies. Pork belly had a good flavor and was very juicy and tender. I should have ordered this considering how dry my chicken was. I noticed they have varieties of ramen. Can’t remember exactly but had a lot of options. Sora ramen is my go-to place for ramen but might be interesting to try it here. Restaurant is empty so you definitely don’t have to wait to get in like Sora! Looking at other Unilocal reviews, they have pudding dessert which I did not see on the menu. I would go back to this place to try that pudding dessert.

Want some taiwanese food? Here’s the place to come! Cute little store located in the chinese plaza(where 99 ranch is located, i think the location is a bit off on Unilocal) There’s a buffet line where you can choose a few items to eat as a dish or you could order off their menu for a rice place or noodle bowl. I was dying to try to mala stinky tofu but they didn’t have any :(:(I guess they have to get the ingredients from further and isn’t always available, so i’ll make sure to call next time to double check. Other than that, the food was good to me. Also, probably want to bring someone that speaks mandarin, I think they probably could speak English but definitely mandarin is first language.

I came with high hope for this place because the chef came from a previous Chinese restaurant where I really really enjoyed his cooking. However, I left pretty disappointed after our visit here. If it’s not for the taro/yam balls with tofu pudding dessert, I would give 2.5 stars. When you first walk in, you will see a buffet line at the left where you can pick two or three items combo. It came with either rice or yam porridge depending upon your preference. I tried two different type of bamboo shoots, roast pork belly, roast pork and tomato with eggs for the combination. We also ordered dry pork(pork sung), crispy intestine and spicy stinky tofu on the side. Besides crispy intestine was not bad, everything else was like 2 out of 5. The small dish of dry pork(pork sung) was $ 5 which we found it so ridiculous. We were fairly unsatisfied and disappointed. Till we got our dessert tofu pudding with taro/yam balls, I was semi happy with the meal again. The taro and yam balls are nice and chewy, pretty comparable to Meet Fresh. As far as service, most Asian places have pretty terrible services I have to say. This place was not an exception. This one young guy works in there seemed like he doesn’t want to be there. He also seemed very impatient every time we asked him for stuff. I think I might come back and try their beef noodle soup and other dessert in the future. On the side note, they sell ramen which I found it odd.
