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!

*******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*******Yummy Rice is a Chinese Restaurant that specializes in serving Chinese Claypot dishes. They are located in Las Vegas Nevada’s Chinatown. Besides offering 22 claypots they also offer appetizers, soups, and porridges. Soft beverages are served. This is a small restaurant that fills up quickly.

We started out by sharing the salted boiled peanuts.

They are almost the same as beans……

We also tried the vegetable spring rolls that were fried nicely and came with a fruit forward sauce that wasn’t too sweet.

We both tried claypots.

Steamed eggs with pickled vegetables come out before the claypots.

This was the smoothest steamed egg I’ve ever had anywhere. It’s laced with their amazing house made soy sauce. The vegetables are very crisp.

I had the claypot called spicy chicken. (Our server said it was her favorite).

It’s very tender dark chicken chunks in a mild Asian Sauce with a little bit of heat. The dish also includes tiny fresh baby bok choy, onions, peppers, jalapeños, rice, and house made soy sauce on the side. This stays VERY HOT for a long time. Also the rice gets a nice crispy bottom. Surprisingly the chicken never gets overcooked.

My husband tries the Three Preserved Meats claypot (Chinese bacon, sausage, duck).

It’s plainer than the spicy chicken clay pot. You only have the meats or you have to add soy sauce for flavor.

That was a little taste of Yummy Rice! – Worth a Try!

Between us we tried a lot of appetizers.

corn cheese

snow crab

fried beef & pork dumplings

spicy tuna on crispy rice

chicken karaage – THIS ONE WAS FORKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!OMG YUM!!!! The MOST DELICIOUS chicken karaage by a mile………Even the sauce was incredible I wish I could buy just this to bring home……The others were good and or tasty but……Next time I’m eating more of this. I’m coming back to eat more of this for sure.

For the bbq they set up a sheet tray next to your table with your dishes that include the items you need to bbq up.

Above are brisket, pork toro, tempura shrimp, and corn cheese.

above are mushrooms, brisket, bulgogi beef, bulgogi chicken, and spicy chicken. We also got onions. Now we go and bbq things up.

Out of what I tried……(I’m not a beef person….but)….The bulgogi beef was the best. It was infused with delicious flavors and was so tender it melted in my mouth. The brisket was also very good but wasn’t infused with delicious flavors. The better chicken was the what I think was the spicy chicken that was red in color. That one was delicious and moist. My least favorite was what I think was the bulgogi chicken. It seemed like it was over marinated and had a sort of leather-ee weird texture and not the best flavor.

This is some of the better chicken in a radish slice.

My husband’s least favorite was the pork because it came out chewy. My husband’s two favorites were the bulgogi beef and the spicy chicken.

You probably won’t go wrong with the bulgogi beef, the spicy chicken, and the chicken karaage.
