2/16 celebrating Chinese New Year, we were disappointed when they had only limited dishes offered. I was intrigued by their 5 star reviews, I stayed to eat. No regrets, we ordered 3 rice dishes that was tasty, cooked perfect and even jasmine rice with little bit of sauce. Kung pao chicken, sliced duck, and cha sui pork. Along with nutritional soup. Nothing tasted like fully-loaded msg was added at all. A big plus!! Well worth dining there! Every waitstaff are indeed, smiling, happy and so patient, along with “I’m glad you are happy and enjoying it“ attitude. 2/18 prior to today we saw the special dining menu only for this weekend. We anticipated that we should treat ourselves to a set banquet menu. We ordered the best, $288 for up to 4 people. Of course, we ended up with plenty of doggie boxes in an encore bag! Lol. Everything was juicy and moist, even the chicken wasn’t dry at all! Each dishes delicate and enticing, delivers. Again, everyone was extremely courteous, smiling and showed an air of happiness all over. It is overall, a very well run and perfectly organized restaurant in its best. If I was the “ charcuterie de la chaine” award sponsor, I would give this restaurant, a top 5 star official rating. Good job, red 8.

If you’re reading all of the negative reviews and reconsidering going here— WAIT, read mine first! We spend a ton of time at the Encore in Las Vegas so we had high expectations…And they were exceeded. I asked for a chicken pad Thai with a 8/10 spice level.THEY DELIVERED. It was the most wonderful, spicy, non greasy pad Thai I’ve ever had. Honestly, I ate way too much because it was so divine. My fiancé had the pineapple fried rice— it was gorgeous, and delicious. Ricky was our server and he was extremely attentive, noticing when I was on the last sip of my glass of wine, checking in at the right moments. If you want exceptional service ask to have him as your server. The manager stopped by to see how everything was, and made sure the pad Thai wasn’t too spicy (you’ll see why when you see the photo)— we let him know it was PERFECT. The crab Rangoon and the BBQ pork buns were incredible as well. Ended with the black tea and flower tea. What a delightful dinner! The negative reviews are BS. Dine here and thank me later. THANK YOU!

Firstly I must say I value (in chronological order) food, service and ambience. Red 8 was a 5 across the board! I planned my mother's 60th Birthday celebration at Red 8, it was a group of 18 guests so booking had to go through Encore. I had the pleasure of working with Cassidy who was responsive, patient and shared great ideas/options to make the event custom to our liking (custom menu, balloons, poster etc). The venue is incredibly beautiful with splashes of gold, red and blue with elevated elegance. Our servers Ricky and Iris were phenomenal. Ricky was incredibly honest, knowledgeable and guided me through the menu throughout the night. Iris was incredibly attentive and ensured all guests were served and taken care of. The events manager and shift manager were so welcoming and friendly.As I mentioned to start, food is usually top for me but after the service we received at RED 8, I don't think I can accept anything less. Highly recommend Red 8 Encore for your next group event.

I REALLY liked this food and all the staff were very friendly. We had the tofu vegetable dish, pork buns, bbq pork and their specialty drink flight. Each item was made to perfection. Nothing was overly salty and the flavors were on point. There were a few factors that made me give this restaurant a 4 star. First, it was really hard to get our server’s attention. Second, there was just a bit too much casino and congestion in the atmosphere. Finally, I could have easily looked over the slow service and atmosphere if the price were lower. I’m ok with a higher price point, but there has to be more than just good food to earn the higher value. All that said, if you have a resort credit from your Amex fine resorts, I’d highly recommend using it here, especially if you don’t mind a more casino like atmosphere.

I had the Hong Kong style crispy noodles with seafood and Kobe beef pot stickers. The crispy noodles were well portioned and tasted decent. It could have been a little more seasoned and sauce can be a little thicker, but overall the seafood tasted fresh and the vegetables were cooked well. It comes with shrimps, scallops, squid, carrots, and choy sum. It is on the pricier side (~$50) as expected residing in a casino resorts location. Wouldn’t mind reordering this if craving crispy noodles again. The Kobe beef pot stickers were just fine. The skin is a little on the thicker side and the flavors were not my favorite. If you enjoy traditional wor tip pot stickers with chives and pork, this won’t hit the same spot. I would pass on this the next time.
