KJ Dim Sum & Seafood at The Rio Casino/Hotel Las Vegas NV – It’s a FORK NO
KJ Dim Sum & Seafood is located in the Rio Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada. They are a Dim Sum and Cantonese Seafood Restaurant.
I was going to order off the menu. But this is a dim sum restaurant and after a few carts I thought I’d just be happy with dim sum.
Someone offers us something called chicken rice. That sounds good. So we gave it a try.
I don’t know why but I can’t stomach this dish. I can’t even tell you what it tastes like.
Then we get a bunch of other plates from another cart.
For me the best of the bunch was the Asian Broccoli. It was fresh and hot and steamed. To the right is the chicken rice (that’s gross), Below it is crunchy dry vegetable chow mein, to the left are shrimp balls (my husband said that they tastes good but are cold. Bottom dish is vegetable spring rolls that are cold and paste-tee inside.
By now we are very thirsty but nobody offered us a beverage.
My husband get up to try to help ourselves. At this point someone drops by and brings a pot of hot tea.
It’s unfiltered and tea leaves are mixed into the tea.
My husband asks for water. Someone does come by and drop off two glasses of water.
The water they gave to my husband has BLACK THINGS FLOATING in it.
He got up and showed someone the water and asked for another glass of water. He was eventually served a new water.
Some of the people pushing carts ignored us like I think the person pushing a soup cart.
There also isn’t much to eat here if you don’t eat shrimp or pork.
I did try the sesame balls because I usually like them.
Usually they come filled with sweet bean paste but I did try them with fruit filling once.
These are different.
The dough is wet inside. I have no idea on what the sweetened filling was.
For me this was a FORK NO.
Your visit may indeed differ.

Newly Opened – The Cantina by El Dorado – North Las Vegas NV
The Cantina is a 24/7 bar, gaming, restaurant type of place with three locations in Vegas. Recently the North Las Vegas location opened at 1125 E Craig Road (in the spot where Born and Raised was). They offer a mostly Mexican Type Menu but also offer Smash Burgers.
Here’s the Bar Area.
Here’s the main dining area. It’s filled with large curved booths and a few traditional tables and a BIG Screen TV.
We ordered a basket of chips with salsa to start with.
The chips seem like they came out of a bag but both salsas are good and tastes freshly prepared.
For our main we shared a steak and chicken fajita.
I am pleased to say that the fajita is VERY GOOD! The chicken and steak are infused with delicious flavors. (We also got tortillas not pictured)
I did come back again for a third visit and on a second try the fajita was different and not as infused with flavors and also not as tender. They also were out of chicken that dyad I thought that was odd for it being a Friday. The rice also had a slightly different taste. (not all but most restaurants are not consistent.)
Happy Hour Margaritas were very good and you get the chips and salsas are complimentary at Happy Hour.
On our second visit to this location I tried one of each fish taco. They were maui maui grilled and maui maui fried and crispy.
The menu didn’t mention that these were street sized double shelled tacos. They are good , well packed and tasty but oddly pricy compared to other similar restaurants (this plate was $24).
But my husband did much better and enjoyed his smash burger with one added patty.
SEE he did much better than me.

Joey’s Tavern – 24/7 Bar, Restaurant, Gaming – Las Vegas NV- Pretty GOOD! Worth a Try!
Joey’s Tavern is a 24/7 Bar, Restaurant, & Gaming type of sports bar in the North/West part of Las Vegas. This place differs slightly from a lot of other similar places. This place others around half a dozen monthly special and a pizza of the month in addition to a mostly American Breakfast lunch and dinner menu.
But it is dark inside.
And the BIG HEAVY Chairs at the tables are very uncomfortable. …..But the food was very good.
I tried a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries.
This might be the juiciest most flavorful chicken sandwich I had in Vegas so far. It is spicy but not so spicy I can’t eat it. It’s delicious but with one major problem. There are small pieces of bone in with the chicken breast that I was lucky to spit out. A minor issue is that this sandwich contains lettuce, tomato, and onion and is missing the pickle that normally is on a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Well we are in Vegas and not Nashville so you don’t get pickles here. It’s still a very good sandwich if you don’t choke on a bone. The sweet potato fries are fried nicely and are crisp and not oily.
My husband enjoyed the BBQ Brisket Sandwich with Soup of the day (potato/broccoli).
He said it was delicious and is happy to come here again.
Maybe it’s brighter if you sit in a different area? and maybe more comfortable?
The food was very good so Joey’s Tavern is Worth a Try!

The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week
One of the best meals out this week came from a lunch buffet. It came from Lazeez Pakistani Indian Mediterranean Grill. It was a nice surprise. All the food was fresh, good, and delicious.
Got lucky and also made another very good find. If fast food can be good this is it. Sizzle Stick Burger. Ground in-house FreshGround Brisket double smash burgers and beef tallow fries.
Very Good!
One sad bad one. Maybe we just hit them on an extra bad night? We’ve been there a few times before and it wasn’t awful but this time it was……Sicilian Guys Trattoria.
This time all the pasta was over cooked, mushy, and falling apart. The arancini was awful. (very dried out and not cheesy) The chicken marsala was awful. Tasted like mushroom water not marsala sauce. It was a crime. I should have called the police.
This is one of the pastas from The Sicilian Guys Trattoria.
They used to be better.

Dogs Dining on Mostly Cheeseburgers in Las Vegas NV – September 2026
It’s too hot to dine out with dogs in Las Vegas so we have to either bring them home a treat or take the Beagle Mix for a ride to pick something up. The Giant Aussie is 14 years old and can no longer jump into the car.
My husband cooked the dogs a few cheeseburgers.
Of course they have enjoyed that!

Tony Luke’s – Rio Canteen Food Hall Las Vegas NV – Not The Best
Tony Luke’s is famous in south Philly PA for their pork sandwich and cheesesteaks. They have a food stand in the Canteen Food Hall in the Rio Casino/Hotel right by the Las Vegas Strip.
I tried a chicken steak hoagie with added bell peppers (no cheese) and got this.
They did give me a lot of chicken…..possibly extra chicken? But all the chicken is dry and crunchy. They also slapped on too much mayonnaise. Maybe because they knew the chicken was so dry. Oddly this sandwich contains pickle chips. That tastes weird in this sandwich. Usually a chicken steak hoagie is chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. This one is different it’s chicken (no cheese at my request) sautéed onion, (I added bell peppers) tomato slice, and mayonnaise. I brought home lots of crunchy chicken. My dogs enjoyed it.
My husband ordered a pizza cheesesteak with extra cheese. He got this.
It seems to me missing the marinara sauce and most of the cheeses.
CLEARLY – NOT THE BEST!

Lemongrass & Lime – Some Can’t Miss Dishes – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Fork!
Lemongrass & Lime is a Modern Thai Bistro type of place that has full service and also offers wine and beer. They have two locations in Las Vegas but so far I only go to the Centennial Location in the North/West part of Vegas. I think even people who are not a fan of Thai Food will still LOVE the Golden Pouches.
OMG YUM! – Mashed potato stuffed crispy rice paper that sits in the yummiest masaman curry with crispy shallots. My husband hates most curries but somehow also loves this dish.
GET IT!
Another Must Get Dish
The Pumpkin Curry
It’s unusually DELICIOUS and most of the other Thai Restaurants don’t offer this dish.
Another better dish here is their green curry. They just happen to do Green curry better than a lot of other places. Other better dishes are their specials and some of their seasonal desserts.
Recently (off the summer special menu) I tried the Crispy Marinated Hamachi Collar. I did think it was more of a hardy appetizer but was listed as an entree. It was marinated in coconut, lime juice, and Thai Spices. It wasn’t very pretty but was the tastiest fish collar anywhere.
Below are several dishes from several visits to Lemongrass & Lime. (The spicy Thai Chocolate Cake is also a Must Get!)
Lemongrass & Lime is Worth a Fork!
