Tasty China is an American Chinese Restaurant located in North Las Vegas Nevada. This is a neighborhood type of restaurant but I hear from many in the area that this is the long time favorite of the American Chinese restaurants in the area (and there are many). While visiting I noticed that they do mostly take out and delivery.
But some people do dine in here.
They start you off with crispy fried noodles with duck sauce.
We started out by trying the egg rolls.
To us they are more like spring rolls. They seem like they were fresh made because the cabbage in them is tasty and fresh.
It’s a little different here. The spicy dishes come different levels of heat. I picked “hot” for Szechwan Chicken.
No worries. “Hot” here is normal Chinese take out……or not very hot. They only use white meat chicken here and it is tender like butter. This has all the normal flavors of Szechwan Chicken and is only slightly sweet so it is good. This one also has a nice selection of vegetables in it like zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, carrots and celery. It is also a generous portion and came with a very generous portion of white rice.
My husband ordered the Kung Pao Beef “Extra HOT.”
The Kung Pao beef is also generous in size and was made with masterfully tender beef. The “Extra HOT” seems like regular take out Chinese to both of us. To me the dominate taste here is soy sauce…….I’m beginning to wonder if this is what might be Nevada Style Chinese because I’m finding that the majority of American Chinese dishes we’ve tried in Las Vegas is this flavor profile….??????????? This is not what we are used too………
We both thought that the Szechwan Chicken was good because it was balanced with flavors that included garlic and ginger. It had not too much sweetness and seemed about right. Our server was very helpful, thoughtful and efficient.
With the check we got fortune cookies and almond cookies.
If you are used to east coast American Chinese some plates do differ from what you are used to but some like the Szechwan chicken are similar so it’s Worth a Try!
