What’s New In Chinatown
After months of complaining about the cold weather as well as the construction, it seems like both are about over. Yayyy. Bring on the warmth and sunshine.
The construction at the new Koreatown Village is in full force and we were told by its owner, restauranteur Freddy Hwang that the tentative opening will be this June. The strip mall is unlike any other and very detailed. Anchors of the mall will be the first Open Bank (Korean-owned) in Nevada, Master Kim’s Korean Barbecue, and Industry 13. We expect this to be a super popular hangout for both locals and tourists alike. Read more under Koreatown Village.
Letters of the Week:
We receive several inquiries about Las Vegas Chinatown.
We will feature some here in our weekly report.
Jacky Wang asks:
Are there any Churches (Christian) that do mass in both English and Mandarin?”
Hi, Jacky, there are several. Two are the River of Life Christian Church in the back of the Mountain Point Business Park West ( Behind Hobak/Gabi) on Spring Mountain Rd and the other is the Grace Chinese Baptist Church located next to the Sa-Yo Plaza on Spring Mountain Rd. They also offer translations of the mass through headphones.
Let’s have a look and see what is new in Chinatown
We are starting from the east and heading west on Spring Mountain Rd.

New Items at Fukuya: Flavored Vinegar Drinks
Photo: IG -Japanese Vinegar at Fukuya
We love Fukuya and now have yet another reason to shop there- Japanese-flavored vinegar drinks. They come in blueberry, apple, honey black vinegar, and plum and you can drink them straight from the bottle. Vinegar drinks are very healthy and improve circulation and fatigue.
Open 7 days 10 am-7 pm

India House Bar and Grill soft opens
The name may confuse some with the word “Pinoy, ” which relates to the Philippines or Filipinos, but it is not. The word Pinoy describes the style of place it is with a restaurant and bar with live music and karaoke.
India House will have live music on weekends and karaoke every night of the week. During the day, the 125+ seat restaurant will offer a buffet and ala carte dining but at night it will be only ala carte. There is also a full bar with large TV screens. In the next few months, India House will have outdoor dining on the patio, located on the top floor of the Pacific Asian Plaza with views of Chinatown and strip hotels.
