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?

Oh Well Hit and Miss

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!
