Las Vegas Favorite Chinese Restaurants โ Part 2 ๐ฅข๐ฅ
The last Vegas Chinese food guide got so much love โ hereโs another round after a long while! These are also local favorites that come highly recommended โ save this list now! Shanghai Taste Must-order: Pan-fried pork buns & soup dumplings โ instantly transport you back to China. The beef tongue is incredibly tender, especially paired with cucumber. Braised wheat gluten, sweet & sour ribs โ all solid choices.๐๐ Avoid: scallion oil noodles (not their strong suit). China Mama Check out the big braised pork knuckle in the pic โ amazing over rice! Their sweet & sour pork holds up well, and both northern and southern-style noodles are great.๐๐ You can even watch them hand-make noodles through the window โ adds to the vibe! Note: Their mapo tofu feels very Americanized โ not my favorite. Papa Noodle A Hong Kong-style spot. Simple, delicious comfort food: Hainanese chicken rice, noodle soups โ especially the signature chicken noodle soup (light but flavorful). Hong Kong milk tea is super authentic too! Chengdu Taste Better than nothing โ and Vegas doesnโt have many Sichuan options anyway ๐ Sharing my homemade (cold spicy chicken) here just to show I might hold a spot in Vegasโ Sichuan food scene ๐ BUT their rabbit dish isnโt great โ maybe rabbit just doesnโt travel well outside Sichuan? Tian Peng Lu Wei Strongly recommended by a Taiwanese colleague โ especially the beef noodle soup (half meat, half tendon) and braised pork rice. Pretty good! Used to love Yi Mei, but once they gave me a bowl of braised pork rice that was half oil โ never went back. Dong Ting Chun For Hunan food, I still prefer Shaoshan Impression in the Bay Area. This place is okay for spice-cravers โ better than nothing. Previously recommended Xiang Wei Xuan, but their quality has dropped lately. โ ๏ธ Got me thinking โ do Vegas Chinese restaurant recommendations have an expiration date? Some spots just donโt stay good over timeโฆ Late-night + Karaoke spots friends asked about: Must be Kuba and Space BBQ! At Space BBQ, Iโm just happy to have ๅฐ dry pot intestines, and pig brain ๐ง But overall, Kuba is more consistent โ besides BBQ, they have hot pot skewers, amazing , northeastern and their grilled fish and sweet & sour pork donโt disappoint! #LasVegasFun #LasVegasEatsRecommendations
