Mo’Bettah’s is a chain of Hawaiian Style Restaurants that offer a limited menu of the Hawaiian Plate lunch. In case you know what a Hawaiian Plate lunch is – It’s usually a lot of meat, a lot of rice, and macaroni salad that is packed into a styrofoam container.

It’s not a fancy place. You can sit inside or at one of the two patio tables that is outside.

This time I tried a mini lunch plate with pulehu chicken, katsu chicken, veggies, brown rice and katsu sauce.

The mini is plenty and I am happy to say both chicken entrees are flavorful, moist, and tasty. The rice is much better today than last time (last time the rice was hard) and the vegetables make it seem lighter and healthier. I had some help finishing my platter.

My husband had the regular lunch plate with kalua pig, pulehu chicken, macaroni salad, brown rice and spicy yeobo sauce.

The one thing he said was amazing today was the kalua pig. He said it was the single best thing he tasted at any Hawaiian Restaurant in Vegas so far. For his taste the pulehu chicken was good but too plain. Last time we enjoyed the macaroni salad. This time it has a weird taste to it?

They gave us a coupon for a free mini meal so we recently went back. I had the same plate as last time.

This time the Pulehu Chicken is actually better and tastier. But the katsu isn’t freshly made as last time and taste left over like it might have been made yesterday or several hours before. Brown rice and vegetables were good.

Sadly the Kalua Pig was all dried out today so we may not be back?

Dogs enjoyed helping to eat these meals.

First time we had-

Large Portions Here so Bring DOGS!

Hearthstone is an American Restaurant and Bar that is located in the Red Rock Casino/Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada.

You can enter from the front pictured above or from inside Red Rock.

Inside is bar seating, lounge seating, traditional tables, and half booths. Below is only a small part of the restaurant.

The daytime menu is pretty brunch forward but does offer some items for lunch.

We started with a Lox and Bagel Tower. The lox was cured in house.

For my main I tried the Heirloom Tomato Salad.

It is small. Heirloom tomatoes, Soft Creamy Cheese, Blackberries, Basil, and Balsamic. After this you will still have room for desert.

My husband tried a more filling lunch. He had a Smash Burger with Fries.

We tried the Samoa Sundae.

It’s different – Coconut Soft Serve that’s not creamy but sort of Ice-y and light. It’s embellished with fudge, caramel crumbs, cookie crumbs, and coconut.

Calabash African Kitchen is a West African Style Restaurant and Bar located in Las Vegas Nevada. The Chef is James Beard Nominated for 2026 Best Chef Southwest. It’s modern inside. You can sit at a traditional table or the bar.

I tried a Kenyan Black Tea. It’s richer than regular black tea and is interesting.

We shared a Fataya Pies (vegetarian empanadas) appetizer.

The pies are fried nicely and seem free of oil. They also eat much lighter than you would think and are delicious! Inside are some potatoes and some other things. The red sauce on the side is tasty and a bit spicy.

We also shared the Fried Red Snapper Platter.

It came with citrusy mostly cucumber and tomato chunks and a side of spiced caramelized onions. I picked the plantains as my side. Today the fish is slightly over cooked and is slightly dry but the flavors are all delicious!

We also shared their famous Jollof Rice with Chicken.

This is mighty flavorful….The chicken and also the rice. I’ve had Jollof rice a few times but none of the others was as flavorful as this one. I thought both dishes tasted great but the chicken is more complex with flavors than the fish.

Calabash African Kitchen is Worth a Fork!

Ada’s Food and Wine is a globally inspired American Restaurant and Wine Bar that is located in downtown Las Vegas in the Arts District.

The main dining room has a view of the open kitchen and also has a wine bar to one side.

Off to the other side is another wine bar not pictured.

If you drink wine then you will probably order wine here. They’ve won some awards for one of the BEST wine list in the country.

It’s mostly small sharing plates here.

We started out by trying the Maitake Mushrooms with Miso Fondue.

Really meaty perfectly cooked mushrooms with flavors that go really well together.

Next was Beets with (non-traditional) Salsa Matcha.

Different but tasty.

The only off dish was the Tagliatelle with Lemon Cream.

The pasta was cooked perfect but they added so much salt that I couldn’t eat it.

I am relieved or happy to say that the Halibut with (non-traditional) Harissa and Carrots was very good.

And the halibut was cooked perfect too. (that is pretty rare – most people over cook halibut)

They were very nice at Ada’s and they did offer to give me another plate to replace the pasta and a manager also offered to remove the pasta from our bill but we declined because my husband still ate the pasta. He said it was salty to him but somehow was still able to eat it.

Ada’s Food and Wine is at least – Mostly very good! – Worth a Try!

The Majority of American/Chinese Restaurants in North Las Vegas and North/West Las Vegas in general serve very sweet, very flat tasting Chinese Food. It is not even close to the American/Chinese foods that are served on the East Coast. I’ve been to nearly every American/Chinese Restaurant in North Las Vegas and nearly every American/Chinese Restaurant in North/West Las Vegas. As of this time Asian Work is the only American Chinese Restaurant that I will go to.

It’s not a fancy place. Part of the dining room is used for storage. Most people do take out here. But you can do your dining in if you like.

They start you off with crispy noodles and duck sauce. They will bring some mustard if you ask.

On a prior visit my husband enjoyed the pork egg rolls. The current menu has vegetable egg rolls.

One of my favorite dishes here is listed as Asian Wok Specials and it is the Ginger Scallion Flounder also called Steamed Fish Filet. Gosh it’s delicious. It also is a very large portion of food. I can’t eat it all unless I make two or three meals out of it.

My other top favorite is the Szechuan Chicken.

This is DELICIOUS and spicy. It’s packed with flavors and isn’t sweet like what other places here serve. It tastes just like what you’d get back on the east coast.

Other dishes that we’ve tried are also very good.

Hot & Spicy with Chicken & Shrimp – No longer on the menu but they can still make it for you.

Black Pepper Beef

I still have a bunch of other dishes that I want to try but the Ginger Scallion Flounder and the Szechuan Chicken are so FORKING GOOD that I might not be able to?

WSKY Bar & Grill is a 24/7 Restaurant, Bar, and Gaming type of place with several locations in Vegas. TWO LOCATIONS are in North Las Vegas and BOTH locations are on Cheyenne Avenue maybe just two miles apart from each other. The New 720 E Cheyenne Avenue location looks different than most 24/7 type places. The most striking feature here are the large glass windows on the front and back of building that leave in lots of natural daylight during the day. The other difference is that this new location has a slightly smaller but also different food menu. They offer the usual all day breakfast and a mostly American menu of foods.

Today I tried the mediterranean salad.

The hummus (right side of plate) is thick as cement and not the best but over-all it’s an OK salad. It came with tzatziki dressing. It’s suppose to come with pita chips but they didn’t make it to the plate. (I had this same problem with a different salad that I had at the other nearby WSKY location) anyways I’m the lucky one because my husband’s burger came out dryer than a Burger King Burger.

Between the dry beef patties were –

Burnt Black Onions.

Oh and I almost forgot. I tried one of the Tater Tots and they were so over salted I couldn’t eat them.

Abel’s Bagels is a small Bagel Shop located in Las Vegas about 20 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip near The Durango Casino/Hotel.

We happened to be in the area so we each had a bagel sandwich.

I tried the Lox & Cream Cheese on an Everything Bagel with an onion slice and capers.

It’s a lot less garlicky than most everything bagels and a little softer but they were very generous with the cream cheese and my sandwich had a good amount of ACME brand lox in it that is very good

My husband tried the bagel sandwich special that they named, “The Katz” (Rye, Pumpernickel bagel, mustard, and Wild Fig BBQ Pastrami with added pepper jack cheese)

A little different but tasty.

That was our trip to Abel’s Bagels – Worth a Try!

How Ya Dough’n Pizza in Vegas is located on the Las Vegas Strip in a Building on the 3rd Floor called The BLVD. The BLVD is located across the street from Eataly and just a short distance from M&M World. This is a small casual Pizza shop with an inside counter and outdoor patio tables to sit at. The pizza is really different here. They do a 8-12 day fermentation that creates a sourdough taste like no other. The pizzas we tried were thin and crisp with great really different flavors. Besides unique pizzas they offer three appetizers (wings, meatballs, doughboys ((dough balls tossed in parm.&butter with red sauce or vodka sauce for dipping) Soft beverages are offered here. You want to come here on a nice weather day. They have a small counter to sit at inside. Outside are many picnic type tables.

Here are the pizzas that were offered..

We ordered a Pistachio Pizza and the January Special called The Funion. (Mozz.,Havarti, roasted onion, leeks, chives, onion seeds)

While we waited for our order I watched one of the pizza guys throw a pizza crust in the air.

Soon we get pizzas.

Above is the Funion.

Above is the pistachio.

Both were very good but I thought the pistachio was more layered and popped more.

My husband felt different and enjoyed the Funion more.

Both were very good.

Amazing Thai is a casual Thai Restaurant that offers most of the Thai dishes that you would expect and also some Vegan alternative dishes.

From my first visit we both enjoyed the eggplant chip appetizer.

Haven’t tried this dish again until recently. The Eggplant Chips look a bit different but are still tasty and very good but they gave us a different sauce that is just sweet instead of the savory spicy sauce that we preferred.

Recently I tried the Caramel Salmon.

It’s sweet caramelized salmon. on a bed of lettuce. It only pops when you add the spicy flavorful sauce on the end of the plate. It comes with a double order of rice.

My husband tried the Spicy Basil with Beef.

The beef was hand chopped that creates more surface space to hold in flavor better (some places just slice the meat or just use ground Meat) Tonight this dish was very soy forward. It should be basil forward.

Some of the dishes we tried on past visits were –

Chicken with Spicy Eggplant – This was the biggest hit. That day the eggplant was absolute perfection in a very tasty sauce.

Drucken Noodles with Beef

We also did some take out.

Spicy Basil Chicken Rice

Salmon Panang – reasonably good.

A little Hit and Miss like most places. Also not the most consistent.
