Little Dumpling is a casual American/Chinese Restaurant located in the North/West part of Las Vegas Nevada. In addition to the usual American/Chinese foods they also offer two pages of Thai Style Dishes.

It’s small and cozy inside. They offer booth seating and half booths.

We started out by sharing the potstickers. (they are chicken here)

They are actually quite good here. These are one of the only places that prepares them as they should with a crispy bottom. Most places in the area just fry them crispy all over.

Little Dumpling offers different spicy heat levels on the dishes. 1-10 and number 20. The server said that number 7 is too hot for her so I ordered number 5 and it was pretty hot. My husband ordered number 7 and it was even hotter.

I tried the spicy garlic chicken (it came with white rice).

It is a very generous serving. It also is packed with a good amount of vegetables (bell pepper, onions, carrots, celery, zucchini, baby corn, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots) and tender white meat chicken. The sauce does run sweet. If I was home I would add a little hoisin sauce to this and maybe a splash of sherry.

My husband tried the Kung Pao with beef.

This dish is also very generous in size. It comes with a nice amount of vegetables and peanuts. The sauce is unlike any I ever tried at any Chinese/American Restaurant. The sauce here is a spicy black bean sauce made with Szechwan Peppercorns.

Little Dumpling is Worth a Try!

Nom Pang recently opened in the North-West Part of Las Vegas Nevada. This is a casual restaurant that offers Cambodian Dishes. Maybe you are not familiar with Cambodian Foods…No worries because if you eat sandwiches you will find something you like. This Cambodian cuisine is very similar to Vietnamese Cuisine. They offer their version of Banh Mi Baguette Sandwiches but here they are called Nom Pang. Also similar to Vietnamese dishes like rice plates, noodle salad bowls, curry and more is offered here. Soft beverages, smoothies, milk teas, slush drinks, iced coffee and boba is offered here.

It’s casual. You order and pay at the counter.

Then you seat yourself.

The tables are topped with napkins, chopsticks, sriracha, and other hot condiments.

I tried a Spicy Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli Bowl (lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, cilantro, cabbage, pickled carrots, dressing, peanuts, crispy shallots)

It’s generous in size and the dark meat chicken is tender and delicious…….It’s actually more flavorful and more spicy than the Vietnamese Versions I’ve tried.

My husband said that the Pork Belly Nom Pang was so amazing he doesn’t know if he can order anything else here (possibly a rice flour baguette or it seemed like, mayo (left off at my husband’s request), cucumber, scallion, pickled carrot, daikon, cilantro, jalapeño, pork belly).

Can’t wait to try more!

Nom Pang is Worth a Fork!

Da Braddah’s Grindz serves Hawaiian Food from a food truck and also has two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. The North/West Location newly opened in a Sinclair Gas Station. They offer Hawaiian Plate Lunches (enormous amounts of food with rice and macaroni salad served in styrofoam boxes), all day breakfast, burgers, and more. With only two tables inside to sit at so this is mainly a take out location.

You order and pay at the counter.

I tried the Korean Chicken Lunch Plate.

The steamed rice and macaroni salad is very good. The dark meat chicken is very tender and does have good flavors to it but something is wrong with the breading because it is wet and soggy.

My husband tried a two meat plate, (kalua pork & furikake chicken).

He said that the pulled pork, rice, and macaroni salad, was very good. Same problem with the chicken here. The chicken was tender and had good flavors to it but here the breading was wet and more like a paste texture.

Maybe the breading problem is an newly opening hiccup?

For now I’d avoid breaded foods here and the rest is worth a try.

Cornish Pasty is a growing group of British Style Pub and Restaurants. Several locations are in Arizona and one location is in the Arts District in Las Vegas Nevada. The specialty of the house is the Cornish Pasty. It’s a hearty stuffed pastry. They offer many varieties of the pasty. Typical ones are meat and potato filled but they also offer vegetarian and vegan pasty. Inside is a mix of bar area, long bench tables that look similar to church seating, and some traditional tables.

The Arts District Las Vegas location gets slammed when festivals and conventions are in town and is often out of menu items so much that they have these QR Table tents on the tables.

I thought it was weird when our waiter told us to scan the QR with our phone instead of just telling us what they were out of.

My husband is usually really good at these things but here the print on the phone was so small that my husband missed a lot of it.

They were out of my first two choices so I went with my third choice and ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala Pasty. It comes with your choice of yogurt or tahini for dipping. My waiter didn’t ask me what I wanted and brought me the yogurt. I asked him if I could exchange the yogurt for tahini since that was unique.

The pasty looks good….Inside is mostly potatoes with some green bell peppers a little bit of chicken and tikka masala sauce. The bottom of my pasty is soggy and the bottom of the dough crimp (top middle) is raw. I didn’t complain because it is a generous serving and I have enough to eat. By the way the tahini sauce is awful with this pasty.

My husband did much better with the Carne Adovada (Mexican Beef) because it isn’t saucy inside. This one wasn’t soggy or raw inside.

We shared British Style Chips.

I don’t know if they were made correctly? We received a mix of soggy and raw fry shaped potatoes. Some of them had burnt ends…….???? I thought British Style Chips had crisp exteriors and fluffy interiors?

Yoshiharu Ramen is famous in Orange California. This is the flagship restaurant that is considered to be the #1 ramen restaurant by the O.C. Register. There are around 13 other locations in California, one location in Onterio, and one (at the moment) location in North Las Vegas Nevada. The North Las Vegas Location offers soft beverages, beers, and sake. They also offer appetizers like fried seafood plates, and fried calamari. They offer around several varieties of pork bone broth ramen, vegetable ramen, chicken ramen, and a variety of sushi rolls. Their website list the dishes that they offer in California. Here in Las Vegas the selection does differ some.

Inside it looks exactly the same as it looked when the last Ramen Restaurant was here. Inside is a mix of booths, and half booths with an open kitchen.

We started out by sharing the Crispy Spicy Tuna.

It taste great but isn’t spicy. But this is very hard to eat because of the way they shaped it and also because they made it so darn crispy that you might need dental work after munching some down. It’s like trying to eat rocks. I don’t know if they always make the rice so hard?

I planned to get the spicy tuna bowl that I saw on-line but none of the bowls are on the menu here so I tried the Tuna Lover Sushi Roll (Tuna, Spicy Tuna, Cucumber, Mentaiko, Ponzu, Onion Chips).

This does have a nice heat to it. At first it doesn’t seem spicy at all but then it hits you. It’s pretty good. My only peeve is that the onion chips are too small and too crisp. They are like hard shreds of glass.

My husband tried the Tonkotsu Spicy Black Ramen (Pork Bone Broth and Miso topped with Pork Chashu (he added extra), Scallions, Bean Sprouts, Wood Ear Mushrooms, Bamboo Shoots, Roasted Black Garlic Oil, House Spicy Paste, Flavored Egg, Sesame Seeds, and Ramen Noodles).

He said that the pork chashu was tender and good. He didn’t think that the broth was spicy or as deep as some that he prefers but it was A-OK.

Worth a Try!
