Historically the first Restaurant ever tapped to #supportlocal with lunch at the office, and reprising their catering role several times since, it was on Wednesday that Naked City Pizza delivered from the Blue Diamond Road “Express” location approximately ten minutes away.

The tenth time bringing Christopher and Michael Palmeri’s Pizza Shop off-site, indoor dining at half of their current locations currently off-limits amidst COVID-19 restrictions, it was minutes prior to 11:30am that Michael arrived with a glut of items, easily enough Food for twice the number of guests with plenty of leftovers for later.

Presenting everything temperature appropriate with PPE to assure customer safety, it was not long before first-shift lunchers called dibs on Slices, Cup n’ Char Pepperoni predictably proving popular atop melted Mozzarella and housemade Sauce with plenty of Herbs, as did Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives famous Guinea Pie featuring White Garlic Sauce and Grandma Palmeri’s Meatballs.

Slinging Sin City’s best Chicken Wings, a few dozen devoured in minutes, Entrees included a fan-favorite Meatball Skillet served alongside Garlic Bread plus daily-special Banana Peppers stuffed and topped with Garlic Cream Sauce, Breadcrumbs and a quartet of melted Cheeses.

Lightening the load with a big Salad featuring Chicken and Walnuts, another delightful new creation, fans of Detroit-Style Pizza will be happy to see six-inch squares for just $4.75, the Pepperoni quite good while Steak and Cheese as well as “Fremont Street” are each unique and well-supported by the Crust and crispy lattice.

Always pushing the envelope, Palmeri’s Dough also supporting Olives and Feta as “Greek Pizza,” Dessert consisted of filled-to-order Cannoli plus three Cakes, Chocolate Mousse and layers of Mascarpone between Vanilla Sponge competing for stomach capacity with Naked City’s Buffalo 22 Pizza slicked in Hot Honey.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there is a reason Naked City Pizza has been serving Sin City for over a decade, and so long as Christopher and Michael continue to work as hard as they always have there is little doubt that any order will delight a crowd whether at the Shop or delivered.

RECOMMENDED: Guinea Pie, Buffalo 22 Pie, Fremont St. Pizza, Meatball Parmesan Skillet, Cannoli, Chocolate Mousse Cake, Cannoli Cake.

AVOID: N/A.

Cubanidad 1885 Catering [6,] Las Vegas NV

Cubanidad 1885

Minced Ham and Bechamel Croquette

Chicken Croquette

Cod Fish Croquette

Arroz Con Pollo

Sweet Plantain Maduros

Fried Plantain Tostones

Medianoche Sandwich – Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese, Homemade Mustard Sauce, Sweet Egg Dough Bread

Now inhabiting the block south of Spring Mountain Road on Fort Apache since just before Memorial Day 2019, it was based on the strength of a four prior catering gigs that #supportlocal lunch was ordered from Cubanidad 1885, e-mails answered in a timely manner by Mark Snyder making catering for twenty-five simple while the portions that arrived were bountiful.

Dubbed “the Ybor Original,” locations in Tampa Bay as well as Miami highly regarded for the Cuisine of Chef Dennis Martinez Miranda, it was by one of the Restaurant’s own staff that several trays were delivered at a cost of $25, opting to skip Uber Eats and DoorDash saving Cubanidad 1885 upwards of $100 in fees.

Packing everything in temperature-controlled containers, though Tres Leches made quite a mess of the counter as items were delivered nearly 45-minutes early, it was with everything unpacked that staff explored flavors novel yet familiar, several Hispanics quick to praise Empanadas packed with a variety of Filings such as Beef with Plantains or Minced Ham and Cheese.

A locally-owned import, Chef Miranda’s Cuban upbringing and professional training in Venezuela followed by Miami yielding products with big flavors as well as proper technique, it is great fortune for fans of Brandade, Baccala or even “Fish Sticks” that Cubanidad’s Coquettes match the quality of those seen throughout southern Florida, the fried Plantains equally oil-free with just a touch of Salt while Maduros are tender and sweet.

Opting for roast Chicken and aromatic Rice once more, and happy to tuck-into Pork or Chicken Croquettes, it was alongside these that one Cuban employee deemed Cubanidad 1885’s Medianoche “as good as back home,” the housemade Bread standing up nicely to Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese and Mustard Sauce.

Not about to skip Dessert, Flan and Bread Pudding were each enjyable while Pastelitos in two flavors eat light, flakey and better than those at any local Panaderia thanks to Butter-laminated Pastry nearly bursting with sweetened Coconut or Guava Jam and Cream Cheese.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Cubanidad puts on a very impressive display in terms of customer service and preparedness while the product served far outperforms the modest price point.

RECOMMENDED: Cod Fish Croquette, Minced Ham and Bechamel Croquette, Tostones, Maduros, Ham and Cheese Empanada, Ropa Vieja and Plantain Empanada, Medianoche Sandwich, Flan, Guava and Cheese Pastelitio.

AVOID: Catering Orders came without serving utensils, a small detail but something to keep in mind.

TIP: Online Ordering available through all the usual suspects, but calling or e-mailing directly saves the Restaurant a lot of money and comes with free delivery within 5 miles for orders over $25.

Opened in 2018, and the only relevant option in Las Vegas for Spanish Cuisine since that time, Edo Gastro Tapas & Wine has found another level amidst the pandemic by looking backwards while at the same time pushing boundaries rarely approached by off-Strip dining.

Inspired by Catalonian traditions, Chef Oscar Amador Edo’s upbringing in Barcelona gifting him with a respect for diverse Ingredients and an ability to craft poignant bites that highlight rather than hide them, it was as a party of four that guests were accommodated along a banquet near the window, GM Roberto Liendo charged with creating a Menu Degustacion including both regularly offered items and nightly inspirations.

An acronym for “Extra Day Off,” though EDO itself is open from 5pm until 9pm daily with safe social distancing, it was with 50% of the Restaurant’s other 32 seats full by 5:00 on Saturday that things were underway quickly, a glass of Champagne pairing well with vibrant Gazpacho as well as creamy Hen Eggs topped with a quartet from Fish including Kaluga Caviar.

Located in a strip-mall at the corner of South Jones Boulevard and Spring Mountain Road, no salt water within 250 miles, suffice it to say Oscar nonetheless excels when it comes to Seafood, Baby Scallops and Kushi Oysters each brightened by Citrus while the all-new Tuna Belly Esqueixada finds Tomatoes and Bluefin blended satiny-smooth.

Weaving traditional to modern in a manner not dissimilar from Jose Andres or even the Adria brothers, imported Charcuterie atop Puffed Bread lingering long after a single bite thanks to an aerated Cheese center, Produce is highlighted by both signature “Green Tartare” and Dutch Asparagus bathed in a combination of Clams and Anchovies.

Happy to sip Sangria with Foie Gras alongside Tomato Jam and fragrant Foam, arguably the city’s best current Torchon, fans will be happy to know that Chef Oscar’s Spanish Bikini remains unparalleled while Ham and Artichoke Croquetas are elegantly balanced by spicy Sauce.

A respite for anyone who finds American “Tapas” sorely lacking after multiple visits to Spain, Razor Clams and raw Scallops with Fiddleheads each highlighting seasonality with skill, creamy Rice amidst roasted Mushrooms and nutty-sweet Cheese remains a must order, as do EDO’s “mille-feuille” Patatas Bravas.

Blessed by early-season Morels, in this case perched atop American Wagyu, do pay attention to Oscar’s “Canelon de Payes” with Offal bathed in Béchamel as well as expertly cooked Spanish Octopus and sweet Langoustine flesh carefully paired to Peppers, Onions and Tomatoes.

Finishing with Dessert, the lone part of EDO’s menu that is rare to change, it is in palate-cleansing fashion that Strawberry Ice sparkles next to buttery Mousse while a Chocolate Tart and Flan each trend traditional, the latter thick and dense alongside a dollop of Lemon Curd.

FIVE STARS: Three years since opening Chef Oscar Amador Edo continues to create bold and balanced plates both traditional and modern while service led by Roberto Liendo provides a world-class experience on par with the best of Catalonia.

RECOMMENDED: Setas Risotto, Pacharan Foie Gras Torchon, 30-Day Aged Striploin Carpaccio, Bikini, Kaluga Caviar & Eggs, U10 Scallops, Razor Clams, Bravas Potatoes, American Wagyu Striploin, Canelon de Payes, Flan.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: 5:00p-9:00p daily. See Social Media for specials. Reservations available via Website, Phone or Opentable.

Shanghai Fried Rice Cake with Chicken

Steamed Mahi Mahi Dumplings

Still doing good business despite 50% occupancy restrictions, with Shanghai Plaza again the bustling marketplace it was prior to COVID-19, it was as a party of six that diners sat down to once again enjoy an outstanding meal at ShangHai Taste.

Tucked inside Suite 104 of a two-story complex on the corner of Arville Street and Spring Mountain Road, a ground floor flagship since day one, it is upon entry that eyes are immediately drawn to Chinese-born Chefs working inside the restaurant’s glass prep-room, and with Chef Jimmy Li’s time at 3 Villages, 1900 Asian Cuisine and Niu Gu well-known to fans the fact that everything on-site is made from scratch should come as no surprise.

Seating approximately 30 guests with proper social distancing from 11:00am until 9:00pm seven-days-a-week, all staff clad in PPE, it was with greetings from partner Joe Muscaglione that thirteen items were received in the course of two hours, the majority old favorites but also four novelties.

Affordable without skimping on Ingredients, all thanks to Chef Li and Joe Muscaglione’s dedication, a distinctive feel is ensured by the fact that almost every single item on-site is imported from or near Shanghai, and starting with good Tea plus housemade Noodles fans of Soup Dumplings, or XLB, will be happy to know ShangHai Taste’s set a high standard whether made with Pork, Crab or recently-debuted Shrimp and Beef.

Able to accommodate most dietary preferences, fried Soup Dumplings in two varieties desirable to all but vegans, those eschewing all Animal products will likely gravitate to Steamed Dumplings filled with Herbs, though far more interesting bites are found in the form of steamed Wheat Gluten Kao Fu amidst Mushrooms and Cold Bean Curd Noodles with Housemade Scallion Oil.

Built on family recipes handed down to Chef Li, his House Fried Rice with choice of Protein always a crowd-pleaser, Fish Dumplings taste wonderful with or without Soup while Stir-fried Rice Cakes traditionally known as Chao Nian Gao and Bone-in Pork Ribs made Shanghai-style are meaty yet tender.

FIVE STARS: Back in top form as the vaccine rolls out, and practicing social distancing with all the right protocols, Chef Jimmy Li and Joe Muscaglione continue to provide Chinatown’s best Shanghainese Cuisine in terms of cost, quality and customer service.

RECOMMENDED: Sheng Jian, Kao Fu, Shanghai Fried Rice Cake, House Fried Fat Noodles, Shanghai Style Pork Ribs, Steamed Mahi Mahi Dumplings.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Open daily from 11:00am until 9:00pm. Call 702-570-6363 or hop to make reservations.

Fudgsicle

Celebrated as a homecoming for Kayla Younglove and Husband Brian, a return to Las Vegas after years in the Midwest finds the couple and their two children focused on creating “moments of JOY,” and what better way than with handcrafted Popsicles in a city where temperatures frequently top 100ᵒF in the Summer?

Sold at local markets and direct online, Fruit flavors inspired by California’s bounty and Cream pops handmade in small batches, it was as a gift that forty Popsicles were delivered Friday, each box carefully packed and treats individually wrapped surrounded in dry Ice.

Seasonally inspired and invariably unique, flavors such as Pineapple Chili Lime or Hibiscus Mint thoroughly refreshing, other highlights from a Vegan-friendly box included herbaceous “Wellness Blend” and vibrant Mango Dragonfruit.

Also offering domestic shipping, at prices on par with the likes of other Ice Cream artisans, Cream-based creations take on an added dimension of smoothness, Guava Cheesecake and Strawberry Shortcake each highlighting Fruit without trending too sweet while Orange Cream and Fudgsicle offer grown-up renditions of childhood favorites.

FIVE STARS: In a city sorely lacking for high-quality Ice Cream and Gelato Kayla and Brian Younglove have created something truly special with The Joy Pop Co, a combination of quality Ingredients plus top-notch customer service yielding much more than the “usual” Popsicle.

RECOMMENDED: Hibiscus Mint, Wellness Blend, Mango Dragonfruit, Guava Cheesecake,
Strawberry Shortcake.

Meraki Greek Grill Catering [9,] Las Vegas NV

Meraki Greek Grill

Greek Salad – Romaine Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Cucumber, Feta Cheese, Kalamata Olives, Pepperoncini, Greek Vinaigrette

Greek Rice

Fried Potatoes

Chicken Gyro

Falafel – Chickpea Fritters, Lemon, Herbs

Steak Kalamakia

Tzatziki – Authentic Greek Yogurt, Cucumber, Garlic

Lettuce, Tomatoes, Red Onions (for Gyro Kit)

Hummus – Garbanzo Beans, Tahini, Lemon

Pita

Ravani – Sweet Semolina Cake, Citrus Zest, Pistachio

Baklava – Phyllo, Walnuts, Honey

Now a regular part of the lunch rotation, former Estiatorio Milos Chef Nikos Georgousis and Girair ‘Jerry’ Goumroian of Henderson’s The Great Greek all-but rescuing the plaza on Rainbow at Tropicana in early 2017, it was amidst COVID-19 precautions that catering was ordered on Wednesday, and difficult as it may seem to believe these guys just keep getting better.

Nothing less than an Off-Strip sensation since opening its doors, and pivoting nicely to off-site dining during the pandemic, guests may now opt for dine-in or take-out, Meraki’s servings always more than generous and prices so affordable that one sometimes wonders how the Restaurant is even making a profit.

Defined as “doing something with soul, creativity and love,” a spirit embodied by courteous employees taking all necessary precautions, it was at precisely 11:30am that employees arrived with several easy-stacking boxes containing temperature-control trays, this simple extra step guaranteeing Food is indistinguishable from that served inside the Restaurant.

Serving a diverse crowd on this occasion, but doing so with an impressive spread of Proteins, Produce and imported Ingredients, Hummus remains a highlight in terms of taste and texture while Steak Kalamakia served instead of Greek-style Meatballs earned praise for tender Filet Mignon with a slight char.

This time finding Feta separate Meraki’s Greek Salad, just the way staff likes it, Greek Rice also received high praise for its fluffiness and flavor while the Gyro kit allowed ample customization of marinated Chicken with Tomatoes, Lettuce, Onion and tangy Tzatziki made with “authentic” Greek Yogurt.

Happy to find no shortage of Pita, soft and warm rounds gratuitously slathered with dueling Spreads, Vegetarians were further treated to crisp and oilless Potatoes lightly perfumed by Herbs or two-bite Falafel that are light but toothsome and fragrant with Garlic as well as Cilantro.

Not forgetting Dessert, Ravani similar to the flavor of Galaktoboureko but more toothsome thanks to Sugar-saturated Semolina Cake and crunchy Pistachios, Honey-soaked Baklava rife with Walnuts is also highly recommended and arguably the best in Sin City.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Meraki Greek Grill offers budget-friendly, fresh and well-crafted Fare with impeccable customer service, Girair and his team’s attention to detail making Meraki Las Vegas’ premier off-Strip spot for Mediterranean cuisine for the last four years.

RECOMMENDED: Hummus, Tzatziki, Chicken Gyro, Steak Kalamakia, Ravani, Baklava.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Open 11-9 Tuesday through Saturday and until 8pm on Sunday. Full menu for on-site dining, takeout and catering accurate per the website. Follow on Social Media @merakigreeklv for specials.

Sprinkled Sweet, Las Vegas NV

Sprinkled Sweet

Vanilla Sugar Cookies

Specializing in Cookies, Cupcakes and Cocoa Bombs it was from the hands of a business associate that the office was introduced to Sprinkled Sweet – this writer’s love of funky socks and Desserts unified by a dozen custom Sugar Cookies referencing his own collection.

Owned and operated by Stefanie Curtis, a Midwestern Air Force veteran who opened her small Centennial Hills’ business in 2019, customers can expect a shortbread-like texture with plenty of Butter and Vanilla, the Icing not overly sweet but thinly applied with great attention to detail.

India Oven Masala Bar & Grill Catering [6,] Las Vegas NV

India Oven Masala Bar & Grill

Goat Korma

Butter Chicken

Aloo Gobi Masala

Saag Paneer

Butter Naan

Basmati Rice

Vegetable Samosa, Pakora

Seekh Kebob

Tamarind Chutney

Mint Chutney

Kheer

Gajar Halwa

Located at 1040 East Flamingo Road, an area once dense with Indian Restaurants and UNLV students, it was late 2017 that owner Ulzan Mehta merged India Oven and India Masala to become India Oven Masala Bar & Grill, the interior one of Las Vegas’ most elegant and the combination of dishes representing North and South India offering a great deal of diversity.

Not far from Maryland Parkway and the National Atomic Testing Museum, COVID-19 altering not only the culinary landscape but India Oven Masala’s once-popular Buffet, it was for the second time this year that catering was requested across town on Monday, the spread for 25 guests arriving on-time, temperature appropriate and complete with all seviceware, plates and utensils.

Happy to let the accountant-turned-cook concoct a menu, five prior events pleasing a variety of guests, it was with bold aromas perfuming the office that attendees gathered plates and perused options before selecting, recognizable items such as Kebobs, Naan and Rice predictably going first while Samosas also proved popular thanks to both their familiarity and taste.

Slower to accept Saag Paneer, its visual appeal always in question even though the combination of springy Cheese and Spinach is unquestionably delicious, it was no surprise that Butter Chicken many mistakenly called Tikka Masala also went quickly, the brightness of Coriander particularly noteworthy while creamy Gravy helped sell many on Bone-In Goat Korma.

Requesting no Daal on this visit, but instead golden Pakora that are good on their own but better with Chutney, it was after a few more pieces of Naan and a scoop of tender Cauliflower that Dessert was enjoyed, bowls of Kheer followed by impeccable Gajar Halwa that still ranks as the best to grace this writer’s mouth.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there are only a few Indian Restaurants in town that offer the breadth and quality to please a diverse staff, and on Monday Ulzan Mehta and his team at India Oven Masala Bar & Grill outperformed expectations once again.

RECOMMENDED: Butter Naan, Vegetable Samosa, Goat Korma, Saag Paneer, Tamarind Chutney, Gajar Halwa, Kheer.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Currently 11:30a-3:00p and 5:00p-10:00p daily.

Recently witnessing a prominent local Chef heap praise on short-lived concepts opened amidst COVID-19 it became ever more obvious how frequently Las Vegans overlook Carson Kitchen, never mind the fact that Cory Harwell expanded into two additional states since the start of 2020 while also developing three of the Restaurant’s best seasonal menus to-date.

Fortunate to have tasted every new plate at Carson Kitchen since summer of 2015, Chefs Harwell, Simon and team forever rethinking even longtime best-sellers, it was with greetings from General Manager Ethan Asch that five diners were seated at a familiar table, Nevada’s current 50% seating capacity seeing every seat taken within minutes of opening.

Still DTLV’s best Restaurant since its inception, a team of talented servers providing faultless service with the utmost attention to guest safety, it was alongside paired Cocktails that dining began shortly, “Trusty Rusty” herbal and refreshing in a manner well suited for crispy Chicken Skins, spicy grilled Oysters and a retooled Beet “Salad” featuring all the flavors guests have come to love ground and spread across toasted Bread.

Continuing with dueling Salads, “Street Corn Chop” delivering a refreshing summer spin on Elotes while “Hawaiian Mac” brightens its namesake with Pineapple alongside slices of Spam grilled to resemble Flatbread, diners in the know will also make certain not to pass Tempura Green Beans and Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese that never get old.

Pouring a “Side Piece” for round two, think Pina Colada with a bit of acid finishing smooth, this season’s Mushroom Flatbread references American-Chinese Mu Shu with Tamago for texture while the equally-“fusion” Gyro Tacos make a triumphant return after their brief hiatus.

Not forgetting Vegetarians with Broken Lasagna, while Carson Kitchen’s Shrimp Louie adds Pickled Green Beans to an otherwise familiar Bay Area classic, fans will be happy to celebrate “Jerk Turkey” Burger’s reappearance while those who favor Beef may instead opt for the “Butter Burger,” now with melted Cheeses.

Taking a chance with “Peas and Thank You,” the complexity of Mezcal highlighting both Herbs and Citrus, Chicken Thighs with White Barbeque remain delicious as ever while a generous slice of buttery Barramundi holds its own atop vibrant Romesco.

Undoubtedly one of Scott and Cory’s most thorough overhauls, Pork Tenderloin beneath Cherry Apricot Maple Chutney and fork-tender Short Ribs each on par with something one might find at a Strip Steakhouse for twice the price, Dessert comprised two day-one icons and one glorious homecoming, the Brownie and Bread Pudding each previously discussed at length while Banoffee “Pie” is even better than one recalls from December 2017.

FIVE STARS: Innovative since opening, Carson Kitchen’s excellence has seemingly become so expected that locals are prone to overlook it, but with the Spring/Summer 2021 menu arguably their best to-date Cory Harwell, Scott Simon and Ethan Asch continue to run Downtown Las Vegas’ most important Restaurant.

RECOMMENDED: Side Piece, Crispy Chicken Skins, Tempura Green Beans, Beet Tartare Toast, Hawaiian Mac, Mu Shu Mushroom Flatbread, Butter Burger, Barramundi, Pork Tenderloin, Short Rib Steak, Bourbon Fudge Brownie, Banoffee “Pie”.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Full Menu Noon to 9pm Mon-Thu and till 10pm Friday as well as Saturday. Brunch is offered 11:00am until 4:00pm on Sundays, with the whole menu also available then and up to closing.

CRAFTkitchen Catering [17,] Henderson NV

CRAFTkitchen

Cobb Salad – Chopped Romaine Lettuce, Organic Grilled Chicken, Avocado, Boiled Egg, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Grape Tomatoes (House Potato Chips, CK Ranch Dressing, Point Reyes Blue Cheese on the side)

Fruit Platter – Melon, Watermelon, Honeydew, Blueberry, Blackberry, Strawberry

Grass Fed Beef Sliders – Cheddar, Lettuce, Red Onion, Tomato
Organic Chicken Tenders

Cheddar and Green Onion Biscuits
Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Sticky Pecan Bun

Strawberry Lemonade Poppyseed Trifle

Apple Pie

Always happy to #supportlocal with an office favorite, CRAFTkitchen once again catered on Wednesday, Chef Blinn predictably arriving early with all the necessary items and this time presenting attendees with an All-American lunch that won’t soon be forgotten.

Never shy to take on ethnic themes, but this time squarely in the Henderson hot-spot’s wheelhouse, it was almost entirely from CRAFTkitchen’s current menu that nine items were presented, savories starting with Cobb Salad and March’s Cheddar and Green Onion Biscuits to match crispy, golden Organic Chicken Tenders.

Always well-portioned and fair-priced, a group of twenty-five getting their fill with plenty of leftovers packed to-go, it was alongside these that guests enjoyed built-to-order Grass Fed Burgers plus two trays of garlicky Mashed Potatoes.

Not about to forget Dessert, Sin City’s best Sticky Bun crackling gently to yield buttery layers within, tiny Apple Pies also got eaten quickly while the Strawberry Lemonade Poppyseed Trifle resembled something one’s neighbor might bring to a 4th of July picnic – if their neighbor had decades of experience cooking in professional kitchens from Le Cirque to Red Rock.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone CRAFTkitchen has always gone the extra mile to assure off-site dining is every bit as delicious as inside the Restaurant on South Eastern, and although it is fun to get creative sometimes this Breakfast-for-Lunch sampling was a generous reminder of what has made Jaret and Tami’s place great from day one.

RECOMMENDED: Every single dish.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: See the website for sample catering items, Family Meals and current menu, or contact the Restaurant directly with a budget and let them do what they do best.

Metro Pizza

Zamboni Pizza – Sausage, Old School Pepperoni, Roasted Red Peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey, Mozzarella Cheese

Old New York – Thick Sliced Mozzarella Cheese, Italian Tomato Sauce, Basil

Triple Play – Thin Crust, Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Triple-Portion Chicago Sausage

86th Street Square Pie – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil, Old School Pepperoni

Brooklyn Jr – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil

Meatball Sliders – Melted Provolone, Fresh-Baked Garlic Knots

Chicken Parmigiana – Breaded Chicken Breast, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese

Mini Cannoli – Ricotta, Confectioner’s Sugar, Chocolate Chips

Four High Carrot Cake – Raisins, Walnuts, Cream Cheese Icing

Big Cheese Brulee New York Cheesecake

Serving Las Vegas for over forty years one might well assume Metro Pizza has the delivery game down to a science, and even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic John Arena and Sam Facchini’s Pizzeria remains irreproachable in terms of customer service.

Featuring locations North, South, East and West, with another soon to come at the Convention Center, it was minutes prior to 11:30am that delivery arrived porting Food, utensils, plates and condiments, each carefully packaged such that Salad and Desserts were chilled with everything else piping-hot.

Suitable for almost any budget, though late-2019 changes have created a more concise menu, it was focused on old favorites plus one un-tasted option that six Pies plus Knots, Parm, Salad and Dessert were received for under $20 per guest, the all-inclusive cost predictably yielding enough for all plus an assortment of leftovers.

Now the eighteenth time delivering to this office, in addition to a dozen or more visits to locations on Decatur, Horizon Ridge or Sky Pointe, it was beginning with Salad that many once again praised Metro’s duo of housemade Dressings, though those more concerned with eating while Food was still temperature appropriate predictably went straight for the “Zamboni” Pizza complete with two Meats, Roasted Peppers and a generous drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey.

Moving next to Meatballs, the combination of Pork and Beef with almost no binder sandwiched between fresh-baked Garlic Buns, several staff took a chance on Metro’s “Pantheon” with Chicken and Goat Cheese, or the “Triple Play” beneath a mountain of Sausage which stood no chance as crispy rectangular Slices were quickly devoured.

Not about to pass by 86th Street, the cold-fermented Sicilian remaining defiantly light despite its thickness even after traveling ten miles, the offering of “Brooklyn Jr.” allowed those who inexplicably “don’t like” Pepperoni to try America’s best Sicilian while Chicken Cutlets topped in Mozzarella and Marinara are a simple but enjoyable Italian-American classic.

Finishing with Metro Pizza’s Dessert platter, filled-to-order Cannoli outlasting more familiar Carrot Cake or caramelized Cheesecake, suffice it to say that Metro remains Las Vegas’ best Pizzeria entering 2021, and despite mounting competition the gap only seems to be widening.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there is a reason John and Sam have been successfully serving Las Vegas for so long, a good part of it skill and doing things the right way, but also by focusing on the customer to deliver on their promises no matter how big or small the budget.

RECOMMENDED: 86th Street Square Pie, Zamboni, Meatball Sliders, Triple Play, Chopped Salad, Cannoli.

AVOID: N/A.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer [4,] Las Vegas NV

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer

Queso & Chips – Zesty Cheese Sauce, Pico de Gallo, Warm Tortilla Chips

Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich – Fried Chicken, Buttermilk Coleslaw, Kosher Pickles, Chili Oil, Nashville Hot Sauce, Idaho Fries

The All American Burger – Prime Burger, American Cheese, Special Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Housemade Onion Rings

Carrot Cake Classic Shake – Carrot Cake Batter, Vanilla Ice Cream, Cream Cheese Frosting, Cherry

Golden Knights Shake – Vanilla Frosted Rim, Vanilla Ice Cream, Black and Gold Sugar Pearls, Golden Knights Hockey Puck Cake, Whipped Cream, Caramel, Cherry

Arguably The Venetian’s busiest eatery more than three years since opening, fair prices and Social Media savvy combined with good service undoubtedly part of Black Tap’s appeal, it was Saturday that two guests took a seat outdoors to enjoy April’s monthly specials.

Quieter on the patio than inside, a thirty minute wait for guests without reservations seeing all allowable tables filled, it was while 90’s Hip-Hop played that lunch began with a bowl of melted Cheese and Pico, nothing particularly “zesty” but both flavor and texture enjoyable.

Comfortable in the shade, masked bussers and disposable menus just part of several safety measures, entrees included Chef Isidori’s “All American Burger” cooked medium to showcase good Beef with minimal accoutrement plus all-new “Nashville Hot Chicken” that is really nothing like Hattie B’s or Prince’s but enormous and delicious with an ample amount of heat.

Happy to chow down on Fries that are crisp, hot and appropriately salted, plus thick-cut Onion Rings with lightly adherent Batter, dessert entailed two Shakes, Carrot Cake very much like a liquefied version of its namesake while The Golden Knights CrazyShake is great for fans as well as those who simply want to have their Shake and eat some Cake, too.

FOUR STARS: Although many will argue that there is nothing quite like a classic Burger it would be hard to claim Black Tap is not dedicated to their craft, a Patty of Prime Beef the base to several fun concoctions supported by a good Bun while the eye-candy Shakes are silly but delicious, and backed by great service.

RECOMMENDED: All American Burger, Carrot Cake Shake, Idaho Fries

AVOID: Queso & Chips is decidedly average.

TIP: Carrot Cake Shake and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich available through 4/30/21.

Cubanidad 1885 Catering [5,] Las Vegas NV

Cubanidad 1885

Minced Ham and Bechamel Croquette

Chicken Croquette

Cod Fish Croquette

Arroz Con Pollo

Sweet Plantain Maduros

Fried Plantain Tostones

Medianoche Sandwich – Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese, Homemade Mustard Sauce, Sweet Egg Dough Bread

Ham and Cheese Empanada

Ropa Vieja and Plantain Empanada

Sweet Coconut Pastelito

Guava and Cheese Pastelito

Tres Leches Cake

Opting for roast Chicken and aromatic Rice this time, and happy to tuck-into Pork or Chicken Croquettes, it was alongside these that one Cuban employee deemed Cubanidad 1885’s Medianoche “as good as back home,” the housemade Bread standing up nicely to Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss Cheese and Mustard Sauce.

Not about to skip Dessert, Tres Leches remains delicious while Pastelitos in two flavors eat light, flakey and better than those at any local Panaderia thanks to Butter-laminated Pastry nearly bursting with sweetened Coconut or Guava Jam and Cream Cheese.

RECOMMENDED: Cod Fish Croquette, Minced Ham and Bechamel Croquette, Tostones, Maduros, Ham and Cheese Empanada, Ropa Vieja and Plantain Empanada, Medianoche Sandwich, Tres Leches, Guava and Cheese Pastelitio.

AVOID: Catering Order came without serving utensils for the second time, a small detail but something to keep in mind.

TIP: Online Ordering available through all the usual suspects, but calling or e-mailing directly saves the Restaurant a lot of money and comes with free delivery within 5 miles for orders over $25.

Bronze Café Summerlin Catering [8,] Las Vegas NV

Bronze Café

Chicken Tamale Pie

Beef & Cheese Empanadas

Soyrizo Zucchini Boats, Pico de Gallo, Cashew Crema

Chicken Fajitas, Peppers, Onions

Elote Corn Salad, Avocado

The Lemon Blueberry Scone

The Carrot Cake

The Banana Flax Cake

The Loving v Virginia

The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle

The Chai Spice Cookie

The Sugar-free Cherry Turnover

The S’Mores Turnover

Always on the move, both the Restaurant’s physical location and their health-conscious Cuisine, it was for Catering that David Mozes and Peter Bastien were again called upon Wednesday, the owners of Bronze Café this time offering to prepare a special Mexican menu instead of the usual delicious Salads and Sandwiches.

Located near Desert Shores in Summerlin, the former home of Beau Monde Bakery providing turnkey access for a Restaurant eventually intended to offer Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, it was from Chef Bastien’s home recipes that Lunch consisted of five trays, Chicken Fajitas making fast fans thanks to familiarity while Vegan Zucchini “Boats” topped with fragrant Soy and tangy Cashew Crema was more slowly accepted but soon to gain raves.

Right in the wheelhouse of a majority-Hispanic staff, Street Corn Salad served with a jumbo bottle of Tajin showing David’s understanding of what the customer wants, Chicken Tamale “Pie,” think Casserole, may not be pretty as perfectly packed Corn Husks but both taste and texture were true.

Lucky to also receive two trays of Empanadas, Beef and Cheese resembling Dumplings lighter than one might expect, those seeking a sweeter stuffed-Pastry will find it in either the recently-debuted S’mores or Sugar-Free, Diabetic-friendly Cherry Turnover.

Happy to receive a glut of Desserts, all Vegan and The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle still Las Vegas’ best Cookie despite mounting competition, those missing Beau Monde’s gluten-free offerings will be happy to know the Banana Flax Cake is made without any Wheat protein, as too is a fully loaded Carrot Cake that has only gotten better with time.

Continuing strong with the cleverly titled Loving v Virginia, a Brookie that sees both halves nicely textured, Chai Spice Cookies remain soft and almost Cake-like while the Lemon Blueberry Scone is delicate and “buttery” despite the lack of Butter, Milk or Eggs.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, no matter where Chef Peter and David are set-up the quality has never declined, lunch on Wednesday continuing to show quality and creativity bound to please those with and without dietary restrictions, whether they want to be gluttonous or eat light.

RECOMMENDED: Chicken Tamale Pie, Elote Corn Salad, Beef & Cheese Empanada,, The Lemon Blueberry Scone, The Sugar Free Cherry Turnover, The Peanut Butter Snickerdoodle, The Carrot Cake, The Loving v. Virginia.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: 8a-8p daily at 2380 N Buffalo Drive, Suite 110. 702-852-2830. Online ordering via all the usual apps but catering best coordinated by contacting the Restaurant directly.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Historically the first Restaurant ever tapped to #supportlocal with lunch at the office, and reprising their catering role several times since, it was on Monday that Naked City Pizza once again put on a show with classics and novelties alike.

Always happy to bring Christopher and Michael Palmeri’s Pizza Shop off-site, indoor dining at half of their locations currently off-limits amidst COVID-19 restrictions, it was precisely on time that a longtime employee arrived with eleven items, easily enough Food for twice the number of guests with plenty of leftovers.

Not exactly a short distance to travel, yet presenting everything temperature appropriate with PPE to assure customer safety, it was not long before first-shift lunchers called dibs on Slices, Cup n’ Char Pepperoni predictably proving popular atop melted Mozzarella and housemade Sauce with plenty of Herbs, as did Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives famous Guinea Pie featuring White Garlic Sauce and Grandma Palmeri’s Meatballs.

Slinging Sin City’s best Chicken Wings, a few dozen devoured in minutes, Pasta included two styles of Lasagna, both meatless with Tomatoes and Cheese proving to be the favorite of most, though White Sauce and Spinach layered between baked sheets of Pasta also found fans.

Lightening the load with a Chop Salad and housemade Dressing, Naked City’s Ranch predictably becoming dipping Sauce for the Crust of many, fans of Palmeri’s Subs will find Chris’ Special upgrading the traditional Italian Torpedo with Marinated Mozzarella and Black Peppercorn Sauce while Chicago-style Roast Beef is excellent with just Italian Au Jus but better topped in Housemade Hot Giardiniera.

Including two more half-sheets, plain Cheese plus one with Housemade Sausage, Olives and Onions added to crispy cups of Pepperoni, Dessert entailed sixteen fresh-baked Chocolate Chip Cookies, their time in a Pizza oven yielding a light char across the base but softness otherwise imbued with notes of Vanilla.

RECOMMENDED: Guinea Pie, Red Lasagna, White Lasagna, Italian Beef Sub, Wings, Cookies.

AVOID: N/A.

Bardot Brasserie [24,] Las Vegas NV

Bardot Brasserie

Iced Tea – Sweetener

Bardot Baguette – Butter

Oeufs Mimosa – Smoked Paprika, Cocktail Onion, Cornichon, Osetra Caviar

Country Pate with Foie Gras and Perigord Black Truffle – Mustard

Veal Rillettes – Country Bread

King Crab & Endive Caesar – Alaskan King Crab, Parmigiano Reggiano, Caper Aioli, Herbed Bread Crumbs

Steak Tartare – USDA Prime Filet Ground to Order, Egg Yolk, Sauce Verte, Potato Chips

Escargots en Croute – Burgundy Snails, Absinthe Butter, Paris Mushroom, Roasted Garlic

Fromage Blanc Agnolotti – Meyer Lemon Cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Perigord Black Truffle

Beef Wellington for Two – 12oz USDA Prime Filet, Prosciutto di Parma, Puff Pastry, Mushroom Duxelle, Foie Gras-Madeira Veloute, Perigord Black Truffles

Black Truffle Pommes Puree

French Toast – Brioche, Vanilla Mascarpone, Almond Brittle, Orgeat Syrup

Some say the best Restaurants are those that a guest wants to revisit even before leaving, and over the course of twenty-four meals served across six years Bardot Brasserie has redefined “the best,” not only in terms of Food but setting and service that all continue to shine under the direction of Chef Nick Dugan.

Back at 50% capacity as Las Vegas continues to recover, PPE and Social Distancing still advised with most guests adhering, it was at 6:00pm Saturday that Aria’s second floor was found busy, a familiar hostess and manager greeting two diners who were seated comfortably in a large booth just outside Bardot’s kitchen.

Now in its seventh year, no small feat in a city where turnover is constant, it was with confirmation of no allergies or intolerances that Carte Blanche was deferred to a team that has earned unwavering trust, The Strip’s best Baguette predictably arriving first – warm and crunchy with soft Salted Butter on the side.

Now settled into Chef Dugan’s style, time spent with Gavin Kaysen at Bellecour before joining Michael Mina seeing an almost seamless transition from Chef Josh Smith’s new-French menu, course one featured a trio of shared Appetizers, Nick’s Country Pate and Rillettes rustic and teaming with technique while Deviled Eggs found themselves upgraded by a dollop of Osetra Caviar.

Continuing with three classics, both reimagined Escargot and ground-to-order Tartare wowing diners since day one for good reason, if there is any dish that defined Josh’s ability to rethink tradition it is Bardot’s King Crab & Endive Caesar which remains both crisp and refreshing despite its decidedly luxurious Accouterments.

Debuting a nightly special next, handmade Pasta filled with Fromage Blanc in a Sauce of Meyer Lemon Cream and Perigord Black Truffle, savories concluded in Bardot Brasserie’s unparalleled Beef Wellington and truffled Mashed Potatoes before finishing up with pillow-soft French Toast specially requested for dinner.

FIVE STARS: Having repeatedly challenged fellow gourmands to name a better Bistro, Brasserie or Café in North America than Bardot none have yet stood up to the task, and while some may believe that a Restaurant doing big volume cannot possibly compete with a place that seats fifty I’ll simply say I’ve done the legwork and this one does.

RECOMMENDED: Country Pate, King Crab & Endive Caesar, Escargots en Croute, Beef Wellington, French Toat.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Follow @nrdugan or @bardot_lv for daily specials.

Funny Library Coffee Shop, Las Vegas NV

Funny Library Coffee Shop

Gruyere Danish

Lemon Crinkle Cookie

German Chocolate Cake

Salted Butterscotch Pudding

Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake

Although Virgin Hotels Las Vegas has chosen to embrace a sterile, anytown-USA aesthetic at prices akin to Wynn, Funny Library Coffee Shop offers guests an enjoyable atmosphere paired with Beverages, Sandwiches and Pastries from Executive Pastry Chef Mickey Harden.

Located far from Casino games and smoke, the idea of a communal workspace brought about by plenty of space plus abundant electrical outlets, it is via variety of seating options that patrons are allowed room to relax, the overhead soundtrack differing from elsewhere in Virgin Hotel though the volume is several decibels higher than the “Library” theme suggests.

Rebranded from Fuel Café, a hidden gem at Hard Rock that also featured Chef Harden’s work, prepare to be enticed by everything from Viennoiserie to Cookies, Buns and Entremets, Virgin’s lip-shaped Chocolate Raspberry Mousse already something of a signature while the deconstructed “German Chocolate” bar is a masterwork of both texture and taste.

Less sold on a room-temperature Gruyere Danish, not to mention the fact that none of Funny Library’s Pastries are labeled with prices (and nor does the receipt itemize them,) do instead consider chewy Lemon Crinkle Cookies or the same luscious Salted Butterscotch Pudding sold at The Kitchen at Commons Club, here in a jar.

THREE AND A HALF STARS: Not the sort of place one is likely to stumble upon en route from the Parking Garage, Funny Library is worth seeking out simply because it presents an opportunity to enjoy Pastries from Mickey Harden’s bakeshop.

RECOMMENDED: Lemon Crinkle Cookie, German Chocolate Cake, Salted Butterscotch Pudding.

AVOID: Gruyere Danish is probably better warmed.

TIP: As above, items are not priced and the receipt is not itemized, but the total here was slightly north of $30 with tip.

Salted Butterscotch Pudding – Cookie Butter Crunch, Vanilla Cake, Caramelia Chocolate, Salted Caramel Sauce, Unicorn Cookies

Key Lime Cheesecake – Coconut Streusel, Vanilla Cream, Passion Crispy, Mango Sauce

Luscious Lemon Crème Brulee – Lemon Thyme Shortbread Cookies, Fresh Raspberries

Pretentiously described as “a contemporary American eatery with British Brasserie influences,” The Kitchen at Commons Club is actually Las Vegas most overpriced 24/7 Diner, the fact that Virgin Hotels is “new” somehow intended to excuse markups that would F&B executives on The Strip blush.

A replacement for Mr. Lucky’s, with Pottery Barn décor and cheeky flourishes a far cry from historic Rock memorabilia, it is from a team led by Executive Chef David Werly that menus cover Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, Late Night and Brunch, $4 Coffee no better than Folgers at least bottomless albeit lukewarm.

Citing “British Roots,” a single “Wicked English Breakfast” found alongside little else one will find on a Hotel Breakfast in London, it was after turning down $9 each (as quoted by the waiter) Pastries that a five plate order was constructed, Virgin’s “Crazy Bliss Yogurt Parfait” a fine deal at $11 while six bites of Pancake tally an egregious $17.

Switching savory after nearly 40-minutes wait, the dining area less than 10% full, $22 for three Chicken Strips and a good Waffle is undeniably precious with or without forgotten Bacon, while a “Dutch Baby for Two” dressed in Smoked Salmon plus traditional accoutrements is both delicious and creative at a price of $28.

Going for shock value via “Dulce De Leche OMG! French Toast,” the $18 tab seven-dollars less than Bardot’s iconic version but not half as memorable, Virgin is fortunate to have retained Pastry Chef Mickey Harden’s considerable talent from Hard Rock as each of four Desserts are exquisite for just $10-12 apiece.

Keeping the Hard Rock Hotel soundtrack, The Rolling Stones as well as Alice in Chains heard over the course of 90-minutes, anyone familiar with Chef Harden will know flavors and presentation are peerless, an elongated slice of Chocolate Cake the most “simple” while Salted Butterscotch Pudding, Key Lime Cheesecake and shattering Crème Brulee are texturally masterful and more compelling with each bite.

TWO STARS: As generic as the hotel it occupies, The Kitchen at Commons Club is precisely what happens when a former Assistant Executive Chef is promoted only to follow orders, a “by committee” menu that cannot even follow the tenets it proposes while simultaneously gouging guests.

RECOMMENDED: Dutch Baby Pancake for two, Salted Butterscotch Pudding, Key Lime Cheesecake, Luscious Lemon Crème Brulee.

AVOID: The Buttermilk Pancake, Bourbon Fried Chicken and Waffles.

TIP: As one can clearly see, no Bacon came with the Chicken and Waffles, but discussion after the meal with staff suggests the $9 Pastry side is actually three items and not just one as the waiter stated.

Metro Pizza Catering [10,] Las Vegas NV

Metro Pizza

Chopped Italian Salad with Ranch Dressing and Italian Dressing

Pepperoni Pizza – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni

Milano Pizza – Garlic Cream Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Ricotta Cheese, Garlic, Sausage

Zamboni Pizza – Sausage, Old School Pepperoni, Roasted Red Peppers, Mike’s Hot Honey, Mozzarella Cheese

Triple Play – Thin Crust, Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Triple-Portion Chicago Sausage

Old New York – Thick Sliced Mozzarella Cheese, Italian Tomato Sauce, Basil

86th Street Square Pie – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil, Old School Pepperoni

Brooklyn Jr – Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato Sauce, Romano Cheese, Olive Oil, Mushrooms

Mini Cannoli – Ricotta, Confectioner’s Sugar, Chocolate Chips

Suitable for almost any budget, though late-2019 changes have created a more concise menu, it was focused on old favorites that seven Pies plus Salad and Dessert were received for $10 per guest, the all-inclusive cost predictably yielding enough for all plus an assortment of leftovers.

Now the seventeenth time delivering to this office, in addition to a dozen or more visits to locations on Decatur, Horizon Ridge or Sky Pointe, it was beginning with Salad that many once again praised Metro’s duo of housemade Dressings, though those more concerned with eating while Food was still temperature appropriate predictably went straight for familiar Pepperoni or the “Zamboni” Pizza complete with two Meats, Roasted Peppers and a generous drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey.

Moving next to Old New York, a classic trio on voluptuous Crust, several staff took a chance on Metro’s “Milano” with added Sausage while the “Triple Play” beneath three-times the Meat stood no chance as crispy rectangular Slices were quickly devoured.
Not about to pass by 86th Street, the cold-fermented Sicilian remaining defiantly light despite its thickness even after traveling ten miles, the offering of “Brooklyn Jr.” allowed those who inexplicably “don’t like” Pepperoni to try America’s best Sicilian with Mushrooms while a traditional Pepperoni Pizza also disappeared within the hour.

Finishing with Metro Pizza’s Cannoli, a dozen filled-to-orde, suffice it to say that Metro remains Las Vegas’ best Pizzeria in 2021, and despite mounting competition the gap only seems to be widening.

RECOMMENDED: 86th Street Square Pie, Zamboni, Milano, Triple Play, Chopped Salad, Cannoli.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Catering Menu Available here – www.metropizza.com/catering/ and contact metro_catering@embarqmail.com or 702-256-3719 to order.

ShangHai Taste Catering [6,] Las Vegas NV

Shanghai Taste

House Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage

Shanghai Fried Rice Cake with Chicken

House Fried Fat Noodles with Beef

Kao Fu

Scallion Pancakes

Old Fashion Shanghai Style Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs

Sheng Jian

Red Bean Xiao Long Bao

Tucked inside Suite 104 of 4266 Spring Mountain Road, limited seating in the era of social distancing making take-out as good an option as dining in, it was via contacting ShangHai Taste directly that catering was coordinated, GM Joe Muscaglione arriving at 11:30am-sharp with eight items portioned large enough for sharing.

Still the top destination in Shanghai Plaza at the corner of Arville Street, family recipes handed down to Chef Jimmy Li comprising a concise menu of scratch-made plates, it was with all items carefully-packed and temperature appropriate that most got started with Fried Rice, a bit of tooth welcomed amidst Sausage, Egg and Soy while Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs remain a surprising staff-favorite thanks to tender Flesh easily stripped from the Bone.

Now the sixth time delivered, though Jimmy’s years at 3 Villages, 1900 Asian Cuisine and Niu Gu will find many locals familiar with his authentic brand of cooking, fans of Soup Dumplings, or XLB, will be happy to know ShangHai Taste’s set a high standard, and whether one prefers Pork, Crab or even Gluten Free the textures and flavors are great, as too are the fried version entitled Sheng Jian with Sesame Seeds.

Again impressing with House Fried Fat Noodles, each strand slick and slightly chewy tossed with Steak, Stir-fried Rice Cakes traditionally known as Chao Nian Gao remain a personal favorite thanks to sticky-soft pillows with Salt and a bit of sweetness.

Only offering two Desserts, neither “American” by any stretch, remaining stomach capacity was invested in Red Bean Dumplings on this Monday, while guests with a sense of adventure enjoyed steamed Wheat Gluten Kao Fu with Mushrooms, fermented Soy and Ginger.

N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone, Chef Jimmy Li and Joe Muscaglione face an uphill battle much like the rest of Las Vegas’ Restaurants following COVID-19, but for those seeking Chinatown’s best Shanghainese Cuisine there is simply none better when accounting for cost, quality and customer service.

RECOMMENDED: Sheng Jian, Shanghai Fried Rice Cake, House Fried Fat Noodles, Old Fashion Shanghai Style Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs, Kao Fu.

AVOID: N/A.

TIP: Open daily from 11:00am until 9:00pm. Call 702-570-6363 or hop on Yelp! to make reservations.
