The Bulgogi Tostada from Komex was so delicious. It was made with such tender beef that was developed with flavors and just popped with so many interesting flavors from the Korean Hot Sauce. It was a great surprise Who knew?

Greens and Proteins is a local group of healthy eating restaurants in Las Vegas Nevada. They all offer all day breakfast, soups, salads, thin pizzas, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, bowls, a kids menu, and smoothies. Some locations offer meal prep.
It’s casual inside. You order and pay at the counter and seat yourself. They run the food to you when it’s ready.
I tried the Thai peanut Chicken Bowl. It’s suppose to be a bowl of chicken with basmati rice, squash, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, peanuts, sesame seeds, spicy peanut sauce.
My husband was disappointed with his Bulgogi Korean Steak Bowl because the beef was tough and chewy and didn’t taste so great. He also didn’t enjoy the undercooked hard crunchy brown rice.
I got this-
The squash are ok…….The chicken is very dry and tough and doesn’t have much flavor. My bowl is missing the asparagus and mushrooms. The basmati rice is very mushy today. I think some ingredients might be missing from the sauce because it’s pretty tasteless and isn’t spicy at all.
I do not plan to return to Greens and Proteins.

Mezzo Bistro and Wine is an American-Italian Restaurant located in North/West Las Vegas Nevada. If you didn’t make a reservation there is a chance that they will offer you a seat on the patio.
They start you off with house baked bread, and oil embellished with balsamic and lemon.
We shared a grilled vegetable plate appetizer.
Gosh it’s enormous but it is so darn tasty too…….(grilled tomatoes, artichokes, yellow squash, zucchini, and mushrooms). I’ll eat some and bring some home for another day.
I tried something that isn’t normally on any Italian menu…..Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna with Spinach Risotto and topped with Wasabi Aioli. Melty mozzarella type cheese was on here too.
The fish is in a soy type sauce…..The mozzarella cheese has almost no flavor so it adds richness to the fish. The risotto is very cheesy. I don’t think it really pairs with the fish but you can separate it to a latter course by eating the asparagus after the fish.
My husband tried the Chicken Riggies (New York rigatoni dish with creamy tomato sauce, peppers, and chicken).
The Mezzo Bistro Version also has mushrooms, cherry peppers, prosciutto, capacola, romano cheese, white wine, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese……..(you are not going to leave hungry from this one).
We packed up almost half of what we had so we could try a cannoli.
It was a nice sweet ending.

We ordered several things to try! But they start you off with complimentary chips and very good salsa. They also offer complimentary bottled water.
We tried-
Bulgogi grilled cheese on Texas Toast (seems like challah Texas Toast?)
The famous fusion toastada that was featured on Food Network’s Taco Trip (the bottom is a crispy rice patty topped with beef bulgogi, Komex slaw, pico de gallo, and topped with Korean hot sauce.
fried stuffed wontons
pork taco
Fish taco on flour tortilla and a chicken taco on double corn tortilla.
Everything really was very good. All the proteins were expertly prepared. My personal favorite was the toastada because it had the most going on with it……It also was more filling than I expected it to be. My husband really enjoyed the bulgogi grilled cheese. He is undecided if he will get it again next time or one of the toastadas. The tacos were very good but next time I think I’d order a little side of the Korean hot sauce for them because it was so tasty.

Forking Fantabulous means life changing. It’s crazy amazing. It’s the reason why you must try this restaurant.
I had the very best tuna steak that I have ever had in my life at Mother Wolf in the Fontainebleau on the Las Vegas Strip. No other tuna steak can even compare…To the taste and tenderness. Maybe it was fresher than I am used to?
The sauces around it were magical…..There was a cherry tomato sauce called pomodoro e pomodorini, They were the most tomato-ee sweet tomatoes ever.
It had olives that never had before that were really different called taggiasca olives.
The dish also contained capers and LOTS of basil.
This was the very best tuna dish that I have ever tried anywhere.
P.S. or PRO TIP – You have to order the chef’s signature focaccia bread called sfincione to mop up all that goodness.

Thai Spoon is a Thai Restaurant that is located in the North/West part of Las Vegas Nevada. They offer your usual Thai Favorites and also some vegan dishes and more seafood dishes that you normally see on Thai menus. Some of the seafood offerings are salmon teriyaki, seabass panang, catfish pad cha, seafood curry in young coconut, and house scallops. I noticed that they also offer plenty of bottles of wine here.
For seating they have 1/2 booths and whole booths.
We started out by sharing the chicken potstickers.
Here they are fried crispy all over. Inside they are very mild with juicy moist chicken and a soy type is on the side for dipping.
The seabass panang was seared nicely and prepared masterfully with a melt in your mouth texture.
The curry is smooth, a little basil-ee, with a nice heat. (I picked #7 out of 10)
The spicy basil has that traditional spicy, garlic basil taste.
But instead of hand chopped protein or sliced protein the meat was ground……..To me that is strange because all the spicy basil dishes we’ve tried in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and California the protein for spicy basil was always either hand chopped or sliced…….I’m thinking that ground meat in spicy basil might be a “Nevada Thing.”
Little Green Tomato Candies were given to us with the check. I thought the candy was green tomato but someone wrote to me and said the candy is guava flavored.
That was our first taste at Thai Spoon.

Born And Raised is a 24/7 Sports Bar and Restaurant with four locations in Las Vegas. Besides bar drinks they also offer bar bites like bulgogi tacos, crispy zucchini, and steak poutine. They also offer salads, wraps, burgers, sliders, all day breakfast, and what they call favorites like buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese, dragon bowls, and tequila lime chicken pasta.
You can sit in the bar area.
Or you can have a seat in the main dining area with lots of big screen TVs.
In this room is one strange hilarious chair.
Anyways-
I thought the Bar Signature Salad sounded great so that’s what I ordered.
It’s moist chicken breast (They say it’s blackened but isn’t so blackened but it is tasty and moist so that’s ok). This salad also contains greens, strawberries, oranges, candied pistachios, goat cheese, and strawberry dressing. It was just right for me today. I’d get it again.
My husband said that the Mexico City Prime Beef Burger was very good!
They cooked it to a perfect medium-rare as requested. This burger is topped with pepper jack cheese, an onion ring, pickled jalapeno, and chipotle mayo (left off at request) and comes with lettuce, tomato slice, raw onion, and fries.
Based on this visit I’d say that Born And Raised is Worth a Try!

Mother Wolf is a Luxury Roman – Italian Restaurant located in the Fontainebleau Casino/Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. The James Beard Award Winning Chef of this restaurant is Chef Evan Funke. Who is a Master Pasta Maker.
The two stand out dishes offered here are the Sfincione (chef’s Signature focaccia) and his cacio e pepe.
It’s a large formal restaurant with more than one dining area, a bar, and an open kitchen. Rap music fills the air…..
We started out by sharing some of the chef’s signature focaccia called Sfincione.
It’s hot out of the oven. It’s fluffy, moist, and tasty.
Next is our pasta course. This was Linguine Al Lemon (oil, lemon, asparagus, pecorino cheese)
It’s delicious, well seasoned and prepared with perfect pasta….
I ordered the tuna alla puttanesca (big eye tuna steak, tomatoes, Taggiasca olives, capers, basil)
This is drop the mike moment – GET THIS – THIS IS THE DISH TO GET! And you need some of the sfincione (focaccia) to help mop things up.
To start with the tuna is also amazing. It’s a large portion and is maybe the freshest tasting tuna I ever had anywhere. It’s also tender as can be. These tomatoes are also the best tasting tomatoes. There are different flavors of basil here, pops of capers, fancy little olives that are different. This dish is a reason on why you would dine here.
My husband ordered the Saltimbocca (pounded veal, prosciutto, sage, white wine, butter, lemon, with a wild arugula salad.)
Tonight the veal is a little tough and dry….but still edible. Instead of our waiter waiting for us to take a few bites…Instead he asked us how the plates were as soon as they arrived. We told him that the plates looked good……
The wild arugula salad.
My husband said that this salad was very good and insisted that I taste it…..I thought the vinegar used was incredibly harsh. I can’t eat it but then again I am more sensitive.

This is a small restaurant that fills up fast.
We started out with some margaritas and chips and salsa.
My husband enjoyed the steak ranchero burrito packed with cheese, rice, and beans and topped with red guajillo sauce and more cheese.
I tried the birria ramen.
I liked the eggs because they were nice and jammy. The beef isn’t bad because it’s tender and flavorful. They also gave a generous portion of beef. For my taste the broth is too fatty for me to eat it but my husband has a different taste and enjoys this. He will eat it over the next two days.
Worth a Try!

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.
