"Shang Artisan Noodle": Great Ambiance, But Flavor Loses to Tianpeng?

Hey girls! When it comes to beef noodles in Vegas, everyone probably thinks of "Tianpeng Braised Noodles" first—after all, it's tasty and a great value (even after price hikes, it's still affordable). But today, Nuts Mom wants to talk about another often-busy, trendy spot—"Shang Artisan Noodle". I’ve heard it mainly caters to non-Chinese customers, focusing on a more "premium" experience… but is it actually worth trying? 🍜 Beef Noodles: Wins on Looks & Portion 🏙️ Ambiance: The decor is definitely much nicer than Tianpeng's—clean, modern, and polished, perfect if you care about atmosphere. 🍲 Beef Noodles: The beef is generous and tender, braised until soft and flavorful. Flavor note: The broth leans sweet! If that's your thing, you might enjoy it. But if you prefer savory umami flavors, you might find it a bit unusual. Overall, the noodle texture and taste aren't bad at all. 💣 Skip This: Are These Air-Fryer Pan-Fried Buns? 🚫 Do NOT order the pan-fried pork buns ! When this plate arrived, I was stunned. They had none of the juicy richness or crispy-bottomed texture you’d expect from authentic shengjianbao. They tasted pre-made, almost like they were reheated in an air fryer—thick wrapper, dry filling, totally lacking soul. If you're looking for a nicer setting and don’t mind a slightly sweet broth, Shang is worth a try (but avoid the buns!). But if you're purely chasing the best flavor and value, just stick with Tianpeng—you know what you’re getting. 📍 Shang Artisan Noodle 4983 W Flamingo Rd A, Las Vegas, NV 89103 🅿️ Parking: In a plaza, plenty of spots available. #LasVegasFoodRecommendation #VegasEats #LasVegas #NutsMomExplores #BeefNoodles
