A Taste of Yummy Rice Las Vegas NV – Chinese Claypot Dishes – Worth a Try!

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, jalapeƱos, 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!

888 Korean BBQ Las Vegas NV – MOSTLY VERY GOOD….Worth a Try!

888 Korean BBQ has a location in Chinatown Plaza in Chinatown Las Vegas Nevada. They are an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ that is halal. They offer three levels of menus. Menu “A” black Angus $25.95, Menu “B” Prime $31.95, Menu “C” Kobe Style $42.95 (prices are subject to change). All the menus offer many appetizers, many selections of proteins, vegetables, soup, rice, and more. We picked from menu “B” and we had close to 50 choices. There are a few rules for dining here. You have a 90 minute time limit, no leftovers, and no to go.

Whatever you order they start you out with some banchan (side dishes). Today we got salad, thin radish slices, kimchi, macaroni salad, bean sprouts, onions with peppers and a slice of some kind of vegetable.

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.

888 Korean BBQ is Worth a TRY!
