China Mama 2 is located in Las Vegas Nevada’s Chinatown in Shanghai Plaza. This restaurant offers mostly authentic Chinese Food but they also offer a few American Chinese Dishes like orange chicken.

It’s always busy here and you wait for your table by signing in on an iPad. The wait is usually 1-2 hours but We got lucky today and only waited eleven minutes.

Whatever you order they start you off with ice water in cold metal tumblers and hot Jasmin Tea.

We started out by trying the wood ear mushroom salad.

It’s crisp and kinda spicy…..

The waiters favorite dish here is the sliced fish filet with ginger and scallions so we went with that.

it’s light and mild and easy to eat.

But the dry pepper chicken is another story.

The chicken is bite sized, breaded and fried. It’s fried well because it seems free of oil but it was fried with MOLTEN HOT dried and fresh peppers and garlic. This dish really is too spicy hot for us……We’ve had this dish before at other Chinese Restaurants and it is always very spicy hot but not MOLTEN HOT like this one. We manage to eat a little of this one but I brought most of it home minus any pepper I came across. At home I made a honey based sauce that took the heat down a couple levels.

We also shared some of the sautéed lettuce.

The lettuce is nice and crisp and only very mildly seasoned.

We also had some steamed rice. The rice doesn’t come with the meals here and you have to order it.

We had plenty of leftovers to bring home.

The food was all very good but for our taste the dry pepper chicken ran too spicy hot.

China Mama 2 (at Shanghai Plaza) is Worth a Fork!
