328 Thai is a nicer Thai Restaurant that offers some of the harder to find Thai Dishes. They do also offer cocktails, beer, and wine. Inside are a mix of traditional tracks and booths. They also have an open kitchen. They are located very close to the Las Vegas Strip a couple doors down from the famous Golden Steer Steakhouse.

One of the FORKING AMAZING dishes that is also hard to find is the Miang Kam (light bite)

It’s basically three shiso leaves topped with toasted coconut, lime, ginger, shallots, cashews, sprouts, and this amazing yummy mango sauce called Miang Kam. This is FORKING Scrumptious. YOU MUST GET THIS.

The other FORKING AMAZING Dish was the Tom Zaap Seabass Soup.

It is a lighter dish because it doesn’t come with rice or noodles but somehow is still satisfying. The taste of the soup really BANGS with great flavors (lemongrass, lime, chili) and heat. The seabass is also a generous amount and is nice, moist, and flaky.

My husband tried the Pad Ka Pow with fried Egg.

He picked the ribeye option. This is reasonably good. It was made with fried Thai basil and the ribeye was tender and developed with flavors.

There are plenty of interesting dishes to try.

The only issue is that the drive and parking can be challenging to some people.

That was my first trip to 328 Thai. I hope to try again!

Lumberjacks is a small chain of casual restaurants from California with one location in North Las Vegas Nevada. They serve an American menu that includes breakfast all day. They also offer a soft beverage menu, a child’s, and a senior menu. The menu does run a bit beef heavy but does have enough choices to please most people.

It’s casual and kind of rustic when you walk in.

The desserts are also on display in a glass case off the side of the front desk.

Unfortunately we were seated in what might be the overflow room. It emptied and we had the room to ourselves. I couldn’t get a photo of where you might typically sit that was crowded with people and also was a much larger room.

My husband started with a cup of soup of the day (included with his meal) – chicken tortilla. He said that it really was well made and delicious, also a bit spicy.

I tried the Apple Fuji Chicken Salad.

It was surprisingly very good! The most stand out thing was on how fresh the soft green were. They were so fresh that they were crisp. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The citrus dressing seemed light but also had a nice flavor to it. There were also embellishments of raw onion, walnuts, cranberries, and crisp sweet apple chips.

My husband enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak.

It was reasonably good.

We took a chance and decided to try the Blackberry Cobbler.

It’s very different.

Nt what either of us were expecting.

It’s more like a muffin with TONS of blackberry filling.

It’s also not very sweet.

It’s not awful but I wouldn’t recommend or order again.

I do note that the soup, salad, and chicken fried steak were all at least reasonably good.

Lumberjacks of North Las Vegas is Worth a Try!

STK Steakhouse is a Modern Style Steakhouse, Lounge, and Bar with a location in the Cosmopolitan Casino/Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s very modern looking inside with curvy walls and curvy tables and booths. It is also kinda dark inside and music that might be too loud and maybe too modern for some people fills the air.

I often see a three course special offered that differs slightly in name and some of the offerings but whatever it is is always looks like a good deal. (Sunday-Thursday 3:30-5:30). Tonight the three course special is called the Steaknight Special and is three courses for $69. I was surprised that the hostess sat is and did give us the steak night special menu. We had to ask for it.

We started with tuna tartare and a shrimp cocktail.

A Roll and Chive oil came out with the dinners.

We got –

8 ounce Skirt Steak

6 ounce Filet Mignon and a generous amount of lemon zest and almond asparagus and macaroni and cheese (good but really needed a little pepper)

We took home the chocolate cake but ate the Banana Pudding with Ice Cream there.

The dogs didn’t mind eating some of the steak we brought home.

The Sunday-Thursday STK Steakhouse Menu is usually a Bargain. At it is if they offer what I got here.

Aroma is a contemporary artsy type of South American style restaurant located in Chinatown in Las Vegas Nevada. It’s not a fancy place but the dishes are ultra creative and fancy. They offer lots of smaller plates and larger plates that can be shared. I do warn you that this is a small restaurant and the tables inside are a bit too small for the large plates. They also (as of this posting so that might change) don’t have a bar so they are only offering beer and wine (at this time).

We started out with the Peruvian Ceviche.

It’s made with yellowtail fish. It’s nice and light and fresh tasting.

BUT one of the MUST GET dishes are the Tamarindo (Japanese Bay Peaches, tamarind balls, apple, jicama, other goodies)

Really great!

Another MUST GET is the Mangonada (NIXTAMEL tomatoes, chili lime, peanuts, greens, grapes, and other goodies)

For out main we had the Churrasquito (Brazilian Fat Cap Steak)

All very good flavors here. The steak was good but today not perfection. I’ve had it a few times before at the original location. Today it is slightly chewy but still good. Usually it’s perfection. There are plenty of tasty embellishments to keep you busy..

Dessert was pretty darn delicious too.

It’s called a Chococo (a rich chocolatey dessert with pineapple rum and coconut and a few other things.

Not perfect but many of the dishes are amazing!

Village Pub is not a fancy place. It is one of the many casual 24/7 Bar, Gaming, Restaurants that we have in Vegas that offers an American Food and Breakfast Menu. There are (at this time and about to grow even more) sixteen Village Pub locations in Vegas. The North Las Vegas Aliante location has a separate bar and gaming room and also a non smoking dining room.

I decided to try the Apple Pecan Salad with added salmon.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. My blackened salmon was nicely seasoned and moist and fresh tasting. It was cooked to around medium (that’s pretty darn rare especially in North Las Vegas). It was surrounded by fresh soft greens. crisp fresh cut apple, a good amount of candied pecans, lots of garlic toast and citrus vinaigrette.

My husband tried the Chicken Fried Chicken.

He was pretty pleased with this dish too. He said that the chicken was moist and delicious as were the potatoes and eggs. He also enjoyed the rye bread that he got with it.

Pricing was reasonable and portions were large.

First visit here to Village Pub was a winner!
