Not to be missed dishes in Chinatown:
1) Yui
Omakase
Yui Edomae is for the true sushi purist. Most critics agree, what Gen Mizoguchi is doing in Chinatown Vegas would rank his restaurant in the top 5 in any city from anywhere in the western world. Priced higher than your average sushi joint, but you will need to fly to Tokyo to the top or often even rival it.
Omakase meals at $120, $160 & $220. Nigiri course $68 per person.
2) Chubby Cattle
Dorper Lamb Hotpot
You will only need to decide between one of the delicious broths to dunk and cook what may be the best-tasting lamb in North America. Chubby Cattle open pasture raises their own breed of Dorper sheep on their farm in Texas. The results are milder, tastier, less-gamey lamb, that melts in your mouth. The inner Mongolian hotpot is the ancestor of all hotspots.
3) Raku
Agedashi Tofu
4) Lamoon
Roasted Duck Red Curry
The Japanese-style Red Curry Roasted duck at Lamoon is served with Lychee and grapes added for a bit of sweetness. It’s a delicious combination.
5) Nakamura Ya
Uni Tomato Cream Pasta
Trattoria Nakamura Ya is NOT a Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant. It is like a typical Italian restaurant that you would find in Tokyo
6) District 1
Live Lobster Pho
7) ShangHai Taste
Crab-Yolk Xiao Long Bao
Las Vegas Weekly Magazine chose ShangHai Taste’s crab-yolk Xiao Long Bao, as one of the most memorable Las Vegas meals of 2020. “One bite of these decadent, meaty pork and crab soup dumplings, and you’ll be hooked for life,” wrote Leslie Ventura.
