🌟 Chinatown Spotlight
Vietnamese Flavors to Spring Mountain
Pho Saigonese: Now Open!
Chinatown Fam, we’re thrilled to spotlight Pho Saigonese, which officially opened its doors on July 22, 2025, at 6125 Spring Mountain Rd, at South Jones Boulevard! We first broke the news of their upcoming arrival in November 2024 (Pho Saigonese Coming To Chinatown), and despite a dramatic delay caused by a car crashing into the storefront about a month ago, this beloved Vietnamese restaurant has finally landed in Chinatown.
Taking over the former Lamoon Thai-Japanese restaurant space, Pho Saigonese’s second location (after 1740 E. Serene Ave.) offers a calming, greenery-filled ambiance perfect for savoring their authentic Vietnamese dishes. Dive into banh khot miniature shrimp pancakes, duck noodle soup, bun bo Hue beef and pork noodle soup, grilled pork banh mi, and pho with grilled chicken or other proteins. The Las Vegas Review-Journal raves about its vibrant menu and welcoming vibe, making it a must-visit in Chinatown. Visit phosaigoneselv.com to explore the menu and savor the flavors of Vietnam! Share your dining experience with #ChinatownVegas!
Also Featured: K-Ways Car Lounge – Ramen & JDM Vibes!
Tucked away at 3303 S Jones Blvd, Suite 100, K-Ways Car Lounge isn’t just America’s first JDM-inspired car lounge—it’s a vibrant hub where car culture, nightlife, and delicious late-night eats collide! We broke the news of their opening in September 2023 on chinatownvegas.com, and now they’re rolling out a fantastic ramen lineup that’s a must-try for Chinatown Fam. Savor their Tonkotsu Ramen, featuring a rich pork broth, chashu, bamboo shoots, narutomaki, seaweed, green onion, and crispy fried onion; the Garlic Truffle Ramen, which delivers a deep umami hit from garlic and truffle oil; or the signature K-Ramen, finished with exclusive in-house K-Seasoning for a spicy kick.
Pair your bowl with hookah, soju cocktails, and the dopest underground music events in Vegas, from DJ spin nights to car meet vibes. Built for the culture, K-Ways is 21+ and open late (Wed–Sun, 8:00 PM–3:00 AM, Fri–Sat until 6:00 AM). Cruise over and experience Tokyo’s underground scene right in Las Vegas Chinatown! Follow @kwayscarlounge on Instagram and share with #KWayCarLounge, #ChinatownVegas, #TokyoVibes, #LVLife.
Also Featured: True Matcha Brings Balance to Spring Mountain!
Adding to the dynamic mini-complex housing Puradak and Bobae Noodle House, True Matcha has opened its doors at 4215 Spring Mountain Rd, right next to Tous les Jours! We first announced their grand opening in our July 21 issue on chinatownvegas.com, and now this gem is gaining buzz for its exceptional matcha offerings. As one enthusiastic Instagrammer raved, “This new spot @true_matcha_ located on Spring Mountain Rd next to tous les jours is the place to go. To me, their matcha is perfectly well-balanced and contains the right amount of ingredients to keep me coming back for more.” Enjoy authentic Japanese matcha drinks and desserts, carefully crafted to deliver a refreshing and serene experience.
