🇺🇸 Las Vegas – Delicious Chinese Food 😋

Second time in Vegas — tried the buffets last trip, nothing memorable, so this time I focused on comforting my Chinese stomach. 🍜 First meal: Tian Peng Lu Mian Had their signature beef noodles — authentic Chinese flavor, mildly spicy, beef tender and well-stewed 👍 Braised beef slices were okay, but the cucumber salad was a surprisingly tasty hit 😋 🍜 Second meal: Taiwanese breakfast spot (recommended on 🍠) The rice ball was just okay; small wontons were pretty good. The fried dough stick (youtiao) — not as good as mainland China’s, but better than Singapore’s 😅 My husband’s shrimp omelet was sweet and not tasty at all! We tend to overorder, but $75+ for four people (including tip) felt overpriced for breakfast. 🍜 The real recommendation: Shanghai Mama! We actually meant to go to Shanghai Taste, but parked and accidentally walked into Shanghai Mama. The ambiance is really nice — after seeing so many dated Chinese restaurants in the U.S., this one feels upscale! But then I noticed over 80% of customers were non-Chinese — some even live-streaming while eating 😂 My daughter found one streamer and spotted us in the background! Seeing so many foreigners made me worry the flavors wouldn’t be authentic, but every dish was delicious: 🦆 Crispy duck with sweet bean sauce — so good! 🍖 Braised lion’s head meatballs (4 huge ones) — flavorful and satisfying. 🥬 Dry-fried string beans — wiped clean instantly. 🥓 Twice-cooked pork — not greasy, spice level perfect even for this Suzhou native 💕 Total came to just over $100, with 20% tip around $130. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day — 100% recommend! 👍 #ChineseFood #RestaurantRecommendation #HiddenGemEats #MyFoodTreasures #GlobalFoodies
