Chinatown Plaza: A Year of Change and New Beginnings

Chinatown Plaza, the historic heart of Las Vegas’ vibrant Asian community, pulsated with transformation in 2023. Early in the year, the plaza’s sale to a California investment group sparked a mix of anticipation and concern. While some worried about losing the plaza’s familiar charm, others saw it as a chance for revitalization.

Throughout the year, Chinatown Plaza welcomed a wave of exciting newcomers. AYCE Sushi and Hot Pot Restaurant brought the all-you-can-eat craze to the plaza, while Mr. Tang’s arrival filled the air with the delicious aroma of authentic Chinese cuisine. Diamond Bakery, a beloved Chinatown staple, delighted its fans with plans for a dedicated coffee and takeout section, promising even more ways to indulge in their sweet and savory treats.

But change also meant saying goodbye. The closure of Yummy Box and Volcano Tea left bittersweet voids, reminding us of the ever-evolving nature of Chinatown’s culinary landscape.

However, as we turn the page to 2024, the future of Chinatown Plaza shimmers with promise. “This Week in Chinatown” by Chinatownvegas.com recently reported plans for renovations, including a revamped entryway with inviting stairs. This glimpse into the future suggests a Chinatown Plaza that will embrace its heritage while welcoming new experiences.

 

 

One thing remains constant: the spirit of community that binds Chinatown Plaza together. Whether you’re slurping noodles at AYCE Sushi, savoring a pastry from Diamond Bakery, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, you’re part of something special.

 

Shanghai Plaza

 

 

Shanghai Plaza: Culinary Crossroads Erupts with Big Names, Fresh Bites, and China Mama’s Grand Entrance in 2023

Shanghai Plaza, the vibrant epicenter of Las Vegas’ Chinatown, wasn’t content with just serving up deliciousness in 2023 – it unleashed a year of culinary fireworks and seismic shifts. The arrival of “Chinatown” itself, whispered by Chinatownvegas.com, sent ripples of excitement, promising a dazzling revamp of the Strip entrance just steps away. This electrifying prospect added a layer of anticipation to the plaza’s already buzzing atmosphere.

But amidst the future’s whispers, Shanghai Plaza’s heart throbbed with familiar warmth. ShangHai Taste, a beloved neighborhood haven, grabbed headlines with monumental achievements. Chef Jimmy Li’s well-deserved James Beard nomination for Best Chef: Southwest, a rare feat for a small, family-run restaurant, placed their culinary prowess on the national stage.

Change, however, is a constant spice in this bustling plaza. Dagu Rice Noodle, a comforting presence for many, transitioned into Noodle Nest, promising to keep the noodle cravings satisfied. JMT Korean and The Black by Shibuyala bowed out gracefully, making way for the playful vibes and Korean sweetness of Cutie Design Studio.

And speaking of sweetness, 2023 witnessed the grand entrance of China Mama, a giant in the Chinese food scene, according to Chinatownvegas.com. This arrival sent waves of excitement through the community, promising authentic, soul-satisfying flavors and a vibrant new energy to the plaza.

Meanwhile, innovation sizzled on the grills at Pepper Lunch, while Somisomi’s fluffy Korean shaved ice and Crunchee‘s super crunchy corndogs took social media by storm. And who could resist the aroma of fresh pastries wafting from 85°C’s bakery? Each bite, familiar or new, whispered a promise of delicious adventures within the plaza’s walls.

As we peek into 2024, Shanghai Plaza’s future shimmers with a delectable mix of the established and the exciting. Could expanded outdoor seating at 85°C and a swanky cocktail bar soon be a reality? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: this culinary crossroads in the heart of Chinatown is a hub of transformation, big names, and fresh bites – and with more restaurants on the horizon, it’s only getting tastier. So, grab your chopsticks, your sweet tooth, and your sense of adventure, and let Shanghai Plaza tantalize your taste buds and fill your heart with the warmth of the community.

Arville Square: From Pots to Ramen – An Odyssey of Diverse Delights

Across Spring Mountain Road, Arville Square, a Las Vegas strip mall with character, strummed a different tune in 2023. While HK  Seafood Garden simmered on the horizon, as hinted by “This Week in Chinatown,” Arville Square hummed with its unique blend of established favorites and intriguing newcomers.

Last year saw a shuffle of the deck. HK Seafood Garden, after offering a taste of the sea for many years, gracefully made way for new culinary adventures. In its place, Pot Masters, with its aromatic pots and bubbling broths, took root, infusing the square with delicious aromas and hearty stews.

But fret not, Arville Square‘s diverse potpourri of flavors remained. Taiwan Deli, with its comforting buns, soups, and bubble tea, continued to be a haven for Taiwanese comfort food. The Leatherneck Club, a bastion of American bar culture, kept the good times rolling with its friendly atmosphere and hearty fare.

And did someone say ramen? Shinjuku Ramen, with its steaming bowls of flavorful broth and perfectly slurpable noodles, emerged as a new favorite, tantalizing taste buds and warming souls. For those seeking a frosty escape, the Cool Bar offered a refreshing respite with its diverse selection of cold beverages.

Speaking of escapes, Arville Square also remained a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. From invigorating massages in its several parlors to the satisfying hum of friendly banter at the pool hall, the square offered a welcome retreat from the city’s buzz.

As we peek into 2024, Arville Square’s future holds promising whispers  (rumors) of new owners and plans for major upgrades.

 

Shan Tau Square

Shan Tai Square, is located just west of Arville Street on Spring Mountain Rd. While the established anchors held their ground, whispers of delicious possibilities swirled around the plaza, enticing newcomers and drawing loyal fans in their wake.

Sparrow and Wolf, a culinary gem with flavors that dance on your tongue, remained the crown jewel, its innovative plates and elegant atmosphere a constant reminder of Shan Tai Square’s refined side. But this year, the square welcomed a breath of fragrant air with Lamaii. Bringing the fiery charm of Thai cuisine, Lmaii’s aromatic curries, stir-fries, and an impressive wine program painted a delectable new chapter in the plaza’s culinary landscape.

The 24/7 heartbeat of Shan Tai Square, however, remained unshakeable. 24-Hour PT’s Pub, with its boisterous atmosphere and friendly faces, continued to fuel late-night adventures, while Roberto’s 24-hour tacos kept hunger pangs at bay with their quick, satisfying bites. The drive-thru lane hummed with a steady stream of cars, a testament to their enduring appeal.

But 2023 wasn’t just about familiar comfort. Nallso Korean BBQ, with its sizzling grill and an endless parade of meats, carved a loyal following among barbecue enthusiasts. And then there was Silver Lake Ramen, whose steaming bowls of flavorful broth and those legendary pork buns (oh, those pork buns!) quickly captivated ramen lovers, whispering secrets of melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

As we peek into 2024, Shan Tai Square’s future simmers with a tantalizing blend of the established and the exciting. Could that vacant space soon host another culinary adventure? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: whether you crave the refined elegance of Sparrow and Wolf, the spicy kick of Lmaii, a late-night beer at 24-hour PT’s, or a pork bun so good it deserves its own fan club, Shan Tai Square’s diverse symphony of flavors is waiting to serenade your taste buds. So, grab your chopsticks, your adventurous spirit, and step into Shan Tai Square – it’s ready to be your delicious discovery of 2024.
