Famous Foods Street Eats — Restaurant in Paradise

Sometimes quantity hurts quality. My wife and I have been trying to eat at Peppermill for years with each time getting thwarted due to long lines or other outside factors. Today was the day though. Ordered and Uber early, got there on time and......two hour wait. Backup plan was to walk across to Resorts World and try out the famous Foods Street Eats. So, that's what we did. Walking into RW is quite an experience, it's absolutely gorgeous. Stunningly beautiful designs and high end decor sets this place apart from many casinos. As we zero in on Famous Foods, we see just how many little restaurants are there. Luckily, they do have a kiosk system set up for easy ordering and slowing the customer to really choose what they want from all spots in one place. We peruse through the menu picking out our favorites and order. We ordered food from five different spots. I won't be able to say each places name or even the dish name as there was so much going on I didn't have the chance to try and keep track of that info. If you go, check the menu kiosk and these items swont be hard to find. Either way, this review is meant to be an overall impression anyways. We start with brisket fried rice. Smoky is an understatement, but growing up in Oklahoma, I dug it. Greasy, smoky with big chunks and brisket really started us off strong. Next we had a dish that was a fresh bread covered In overeasy egg with onions. Simple dish, it was tasty but really forgettable. Next, the duck burrito. I love duck and I was pumped for this. First bite tasted like 40 grams of sugar in one bite. The sauce was overpowering and really made me concerned for this. Luckily, the sauce had seemed to end up all in this one end so after the sugary start, it became much more balanced. The greasy duck, sweet and spicy sauce and fantastic rice made this a really good dish. Worth $17? Don't know, but I don't regret it. The next two dishes were noodle dishes one with brisket and the other with beef shrimp and pork skin. The brisket was good, but the dish with tiny noodles didn't have a ton of flavor. The other beef and shrimp noodle dish was crazy good. The chewy, I think udon style noodles but not sure, were out of this world. It had shrimp, pork skin and beef in a short, slightly sweet sauce. It was a really great dish. The staff was great at this food court and we're always being helpful and polite. We grabbed a candy bar topped cookie and tres leches cake for dessert. The cookie was hard and had Reese's and Snickers candy bars on top and tasted good, just old. The tres leches cake was outstanding. Soft, sweet and packed with cinnamon and cake it really gave you a boost after such a heavy meal. This place wasn't bad. The more things you order, just realize you will have to get them one by one as they come ready. Which, makes things difficult when your trying to save your table. The food is good as far as what we had, but with the prices being so high, the food doesn't quite live up to the hype. I have a hard time seeing how this type of food court can remain in operation with how many options they have. Over time I can only imagine they condense and slowly start to cut down on the number of places available. Maybe this will allow them offer a bit better quality food without trying to offer so many things at once. The food is hit and miss with some items really impressing, but overall it seems like they haven't found their...

I want to leave this 1 star review in hopes the CEO will read this. lol. Here’s how to fix the food court. Just lower the prices. You will actually make MORE MONEY! This is like retail 101. You can either sit on inventory and make bigger profit, or lower prices and make smaller profit but do more volume. You are dealing with food here, so you need to go with the volume route.

You have employees standing around doing nothing. Why? Because a crepe is $17. Lower the price big time and you’ll be keeping her busy making crepes. Then she can make more tips. Then she wants to be there. Then you can hold onto your workforce.

The rest of the food is way overpriced too. The quality is just okay, and even kind of bad. We can get to the part where we fix the food. For now the prices need to be reduced by 30% or more. Then people will line up for the food. Then you can have all the other stands open. The fact that you don’t have all the stands open is a really pathetic look! Who wants to be at a hotel where everything isn’t open like some midwestern mall on the brink of closing?

I had the fish and chips one night. $30 which I considered a huge splurge. But it was pretty good. Second night I had the pulled pork from the bbq place… another $30. The quality and portion was terrible. Exceptionally dry, probably from it sitting around too long. But also because they’re probably using the cheapest, leanest meat. Pork is like $2 a pound sometimes and you want to charge someone $30 for a little dry unflavored pile of it (which you try to make seem bigger by placing a piece of bread underneath) with a tiny side of Mac and cheese with the noodles not cooked all the way?

The price must be lowered dramatically for this quality and portion of food if you want to save this place. I’m not saying this hotel is going under next week but you’re definitely going in a bad direction and it’s most noticeable to your guests in that food court. Start with lowering prices and fixing the food court and then maybe you’ll feel inspired to lower prices and increase gambling odds elsewhere.

Crazy thing is that when you take less profit for each sale, you get people excited and start doing more volume which leads to overall greater profit. There I just saved your hotel. Give it a go in the food court as...

It's a welcome sight to see a new hotel on the Vegas Strip and located at the Resorts World, there is the Famous Foods Street Eats which comprised of many Asian Food Vendors, I like to refer it as "Asian Food Halls". There are a few non-Asian food vendors but mainly Asian food cuisines here.

I still remembered in the past, you either have to pay super top $ to eat Chinese food along the strip or you have to make a short uber trip to Chinatown to get Asian food. So, it's nice to see so many Asian food vendors to choose from in one location.

You can find Asian food items from Yakitori, Beef Noodles, Sushi, Roasted Pigs, Claypot rice, Texas BBQ, Italian Sandwiches, Asian dumplings and Bubble tea and self-pour beer bar as well.

HINT: There is also a hidden Speakeasy Bar tucked away in one of the food vendors here (It's called Here Kitty Kitty), look for it. It's a cool spot where there is no drink menu and the mixologists will create a drink based each individual preferences.

The prices for these items aren't cheap but you are paying the food experience and Vegas pricing. Although the hotel curated these food vendors and many of them won awards back home from its original location, most of these places at this food hall missed their mark. Expensive food items, small portion, and the worst part? They tasted average to me. Nothing spectacular or wow you. I have tasted at other places from around the world that serve better beef noodles, or better yakitori or dumplings, but it's still decent but not superior for those who doesn't get to eat Asian street food often.

I do like the cashless digital kiosks system where you can choose any food items from all of the vendors and I just need to swipe my card once and get to try all the different food without the need to order separately. Once you placed the order, they will alert you via a text to your phone, super convenient.

I also enjoyed the spacious dining areas and there is a LIVE DJ spinning music, live stream of sports games and neon lights around the Central Bar. So, it does elevate the dining experience.

Overall, this food hall is decent, it doesn't wow me in terms of its food items or taste levels, but it does the job and give your Asian Fix. I would come back for the Here Kitty Kitty...
