I was in Vegas for a business trip recently and found this incredible Chinese restaurant that totally surprised me. They’ve been open for just three months, and you can tell they’ve put so much thought into the cozy vibe and attentive service—it feels like a hidden gem. The food was packed with bold flavors, totally different from what I expected, and in the best way. Even late on a Sunday night, when most places are winding down, they’re keeping the doors open until 2 a.m., which is awesome for night owls. I’d tell anyone to check this spot out—it’s got the potential to stand out as a must-visit in Vegas!

Atmosphere: calm and peaceful, it’s bright and pretty inside. Service: our server was kind, patient, attentive and was at our service whenever we needed him. Food: we got the braised pork belly, Mongolian beef, combination chow mien, and I forgot the name of this dessert, however I can say that everything tasted really good. We will be back again. I also forgot to take a picture of the chow mien.

Shanghai Taste – Authentic Shanghainese Flavors in the Heart of Vegas Shanghai Taste is widely considered the most famous Shanghainese restaurant in Las Vegas, and for good reason. Nestled inside the bustling Shanghai Plaza, the restaurant brings classic flavors from China’s east coast to the heart of Chinatown. The dining area is modest in size, featuring a bar and several small tables. Small parties can usually find bar seating, but larger groups should expect a wait during peak weekend hours—making reservations ahead of time is definitely a smart move. If you sit at the bar area by the glass window, you’ll get a front-row view of the kitchen where chefs skillfully craft their handmade dumplings. Watching the process adds a unique charm to the overall experience. The must-try here is the Sheng Jian Bao (pan-fried soup dumplings). They're crispy on the bottom and bursting with hot, flavorful broth. Be careful on the first bite—they’re juicy, hot, and messy in the best way. Dip them in vinegar for the ultimate bite. The Xiao Long Bao (steamed soup dumplings) are equally popular, with a thin, delicate skin and well-balanced soup-to-meat ratio. I also tried the Shanghai Noodles with Chili Soy Bean Paste, a savory mix of diced tofu, pork, and beans. While the flavor was a bit lighter than expected, it paired well with the noodles for those who prefer something less rich. The restaurant features a few Chinese décor touches, and the staff are efficient and helpful. Please note: this location is not pet-friendly—dogs are not allowed for dine-in, but takeout options are available if you're stopping by with a pet. Overall, it’s a worthwhile stop for anyone craving authentic Shanghainese cuisine while exploring Las Vegas.

Decent, not the best. They have limited seating. We went late lunch on a weekday no wait. The "spicy" beef tongue was my favorite. Just wished their spicy dishes had a kick.

Even though the presentation of the food is lack of glamour, the flavors of the food are great! My friend and I ordered 3 lunch special items one garlic clam regular priced dishes. Yummy! Including a generous 25%tip, the bill was only $60….With a big $8.95 lunch special menu, and still tasty food, I’ll for sure come back for more…

A lovely late night dinner 1. General Tso's delicious chicken 2. Salt and pepper chicken wings 3. Fish filet in black bean sauce (reading this makes me want to hear the Wu Tang clan work it in as a lyric in one of their songs) 4. The amazing eggplants. I don't even get down with eggplants but this was so good I must insist you try it. Happy hour kicks in at 10pm. Do it, you cabbages! Five stars is a lot but this is specifically for happy hour. $8 a dish, doing it family style...low cost, big portions, and adequate service. I would say service might be the only weakness here but if you've been to enough Chinese restaurants, you'll be familiar with the no frills nature of it. We also went when it wasn't very busy, but hopefully it's adequate when you go and you don't feel like dinging them for it. This place is fixing to be a part of @hungeeboi_nv on ig's regular rotation. (yes, I just referred to myself in the third person, it's 2019, we're gonna be extra! extra! read all about it! this year (do young ppl even get that reference?) shouts to my excessive and improper use of parenthesis) Shouts to @dongkyuverymuch and his lovely wife for the introduction.

Capital Seafood & Pho Vietnam is a fantastic spot whether you’re dining solo or enjoying a family meal. The restaurant offers a variety of Vietnamese dishes, and we especially love their Canh Chua Cá (Vietnamese hot and sour fish soup) and tôm rang muối (salt and pepper shrimp). The nghêu xào (clams stir-fried with mint and chili) is another standout dish. They also offer a great variety of Chinese food, making it perfect for everyone’s tastes. After dinner, they include a delicious dessert, which is a delightful way to end the meal. The owner and the servers provide excellent service, making every visit welcoming and enjoyable. Come check it out—you won’t be disappointed!

Going to a familiar restaurant is comforting. Brought dad to Las Vegas, his first time and he enjoyed every dishes we ordered. To my knowledge, servers speak English, Chinese, Cambodian/Khmer. Free bean dessert served at the end.

I placed an order for their house special fried rice. It comes with all the meat options, including shrimp. The food was ready right away and the to go plate was packed, so great portion sizes. The flavor of the fried rice is delicious. I love a good whole in the walk with great food and no nonsense service.

About as awful as it could possibly be. Walking in, I considered turning around and not purchasing anything because it was so dirty and disorganized inside… I stuck with it and thought maybe they had some magnificent food…. They did not. This is the epitome of a business owner that has zero pride or drive in delivering quality results to the community. Completely awful. I ordered two egg rolls and crab rangoons… this cost $15. I didn’t eat in the restaurant because it was so dirty, I didn’t want to touch anything. I had a bite of a crab Rangoon and the only thing I could taste is old expired dirty oil…. I don’t think they have changed the fry oil in years, maybe decades. I tried a bite of one egg roll… also old oil taste. No other flavors. Horrific. Do not go here. Please save yourself some money and time. I don’t even feel comfortable giving this food to a homeless person in fear of getting them sick.
