The Majority of American/Chinese Restaurants in North Las Vegas and North/West Las Vegas in general serve very sweet, very flat tasting Chinese Food. It is not even close to the American/Chinese foods that are served on the East Coast. I’ve been to nearly every American/Chinese Restaurant in North Las Vegas and nearly every American/Chinese Restaurant in North/West Las Vegas. As of this time Asian Work is the only American Chinese Restaurant that I will go to.

It’s not a fancy place. Part of the dining room is used for storage. Most people do take out here. But you can do your dining in if you like.

They start you off with crispy noodles and duck sauce. They will bring some mustard if you ask.

On a prior visit my husband enjoyed the pork egg rolls. The current menu has vegetable egg rolls.

One of my favorite dishes here is listed as Asian Wok Specials and it is the Ginger Scallion Flounder also called Steamed Fish Filet. Gosh it’s delicious. It also is a very large portion of food. I can’t eat it all unless I make two or three meals out of it.

My other top favorite is the Szechuan Chicken.

This is DELICIOUS and spicy. It’s packed with flavors and isn’t sweet like what other places here serve. It tastes just like what you’d get back on the east coast.

Other dishes that we’ve tried are also very good.

Hot & Spicy with Chicken & Shrimp – No longer on the menu but they can still make it for you.

Black Pepper Beef

I still have a bunch of other dishes that I want to try but the Ginger Scallion Flounder and the Szechuan Chicken are so FORKING GOOD that I might not be able to?

Asian Wok is Worth a Fork!

WSKY Bar & Grill is a 24/7 Restaurant, Bar, and Gaming type of place with several locations in Vegas. TWO LOCATIONS are in North Las Vegas and BOTH locations are on Cheyenne Avenue maybe just two miles apart from each other. The New 720 E Cheyenne Avenue location looks different than most 24/7 type places. The most striking feature here are the large glass windows on the front and back of building that leave in lots of natural daylight during the day. The other difference is that this new location has a slightly smaller but also different food menu. They offer the usual all day breakfast and a mostly American menu of foods.

Today I tried the mediterranean salad.

The hummus (right side of plate) is thick as cement and not the best but over-all it’s an OK salad. It came with tzatziki dressing. It’s suppose to come with pita chips but they didn’t make it to the plate. (I had this same problem with a different salad that I had at the other nearby WSKY location) anyways I’m the lucky one because my husband’s burger came out dryer than a Burger King Burger.

Between the dry beef patties were –

Burnt Black Onions.

Oh and I almost forgot. I tried one of the Tater Tots and they were so over salted I couldn’t eat them.

Abel’s Bagels is a small Bagel Shop located in Las Vegas about 20 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip near The Durango Casino/Hotel.

We happened to be in the area so we each had a bagel sandwich.

I tried the Lox & Cream Cheese on an Everything Bagel with an onion slice and capers.

It’s a lot less garlicky than most everything bagels and a little softer but they were very generous with the cream cheese and my sandwich had a good amount of ACME brand lox in it that is very good

My husband tried the bagel sandwich special that they named, “The Katz” (Rye, Pumpernickel bagel, mustard, and Wild Fig BBQ Pastrami with added pepper jack cheese)

A little different but tasty.

That was our trip to Abel’s Bagels – Worth a Try!

How Ya Dough’n Pizza in Vegas is located on the Las Vegas Strip in a Building on the 3rd Floor called The BLVD. The BLVD is located across the street from Eataly and just a short distance from M&M World. This is a small casual Pizza shop with an inside counter and outdoor patio tables to sit at. The pizza is really different here. They do a 8-12 day fermentation that creates a sourdough taste like no other. The pizzas we tried were thin and crisp with great really different flavors. Besides unique pizzas they offer three appetizers (wings, meatballs, doughboys ((dough balls tossed in parm.&butter with red sauce or vodka sauce for dipping) Soft beverages are offered here. You want to come here on a nice weather day. They have a small counter to sit at inside. Outside are many picnic type tables.

Here are the pizzas that were offered..

We ordered a Pistachio Pizza and the January Special called The Funion. (Mozz.,Havarti, roasted onion, leeks, chives, onion seeds)

While we waited for our order I watched one of the pizza guys throw a pizza crust in the air.

Soon we get pizzas.

Above is the Funion.

Above is the pistachio.

Both were very good but I thought the pistachio was more layered and popped more.

My husband felt different and enjoyed the Funion more.

Both were very good.

Amazing Thai is a casual Thai Restaurant that offers most of the Thai dishes that you would expect and also some Vegan alternative dishes.

From my first visit we both enjoyed the eggplant chip appetizer.

Haven’t tried this dish again until recently. The Eggplant Chips look a bit different but are still tasty and very good but they gave us a different sauce that is just sweet instead of the savory spicy sauce that we preferred.

Recently I tried the Caramel Salmon.

It’s sweet caramelized salmon. on a bed of lettuce. It only pops when you add the spicy flavorful sauce on the end of the plate. It comes with a double order of rice.

My husband tried the Spicy Basil with Beef.

The beef was hand chopped that creates more surface space to hold in flavor better (some places just slice the meat or just use ground Meat) Tonight this dish was very soy forward. It should be basil forward.

Some of the dishes we tried on past visits were –

Chicken with Spicy Eggplant – This was the biggest hit. That day the eggplant was absolute perfection in a very tasty sauce.

Drucken Noodles with Beef

We also did some take out.

Spicy Basil Chicken Rice

Salmon Panang – reasonably good.

A little Hit and Miss like most places. Also not the most consistent.

The Chubby Cattle Hot Pot Restaurant is located in Las Vegas’s Chinatown. This is a restaurant that specializes in Asian Hot Pots or Hardy Soup Meals. They offer a variety of soup bases. Most soup bases do contain pork but they still offer a long list of things to those who don’t eat pork. You start out by ordering your soup base. You order add ons. The add ons come in small and large sizes. We found that small add ons are plenty for two people. They also have extra add ons that go by your table on a conveyer belt. You also use the condiment bar to embellish your hot pot further.

The tables have soup wells built into them to keep your hot pot hot.

You can see by my picture that we tried a lot of things.

I tried vegan Beautiful Tomato Hot Pot and my husband tried House Original Hot Pot.

See how red the Tomato one is in the bottom left corner looks different after you do the add ons.

I added on tomatoes, spinach noodles, pumpkin, baby corn, some mushrooms, and flounder. I also added just a little bit of condiments. Some garlic, cilantro, mirin, sesame oil. Everything is delicious (except for the flounder) I would not recommend getting the flounder here. I’m glad it didn’t spoil my soup. The fish was still edible but fishy. Somehow my soup stayed pretty darn tasty and I had a bunch left over for the next day.

My husband added on wagyu brisket, ramen noodles, mushrooms, potatoes, and extra numbing, spicy sauce. He enjoyed all of his very much.

Chubby Cattle is Worth a Try! (just don’t get the flounder)

Napoli Pizzeria has 4 location in Vegas. But for some odd reason the North Las Vegas Location is not listed on the Napoli Website and might only share the name and same sign. On Yelp this restaurant is listed as Napolis Pizza……?…..Maybe they just use the Napoli Sign and same cash register because Napoli is what I see on my receipt. Anyways…..They are an average Pizzeria that offers the usual pizzas, wings, pastas, sandwiches, and more.

We tried a plain pizza.

There’s a good amount of cheese and the crust is ok….but the top is salted….and is really too salty for me.

But-

It’s like the sauce is missing. No herbs, no flavors (but salt), almost no sauce.

Not the best 🙁

GastroPub Nisei Bar & Grill is an Asian Fusion Unique Bar & Grill located in the Chinatown of Las Vegas Nevada. It’s sort of Las Vegas inside with neon. And it’s pretty quiet today mid-week at lunch time.

We started out by sharing the Kalbi Tacos (Korean Marinated Short Ribs)

Umm Tasty flavors. I like the sauces. One was called spicy mayo and the other was called salsa verde but are unique and different. Very good flavors but the meat is ever so slightly chewy.

We also shared a Mini Chicken kabob.

A little plain but ok.

I think the winner was the unique and unusual Pastrami Sando with Yuzu Slaw, and Hot Honey Mustard and added Truffle Fries.

The sandwich is actually banging with flavors. The Pastrami we were told was made by a nearby butcher. It’s very flavorful and the hot honey mustard is really perfect here. The pickles taste good but are kinda squishy. The fries are cooked perfect but the truffle stuff falls out and the fries seem broken.

Lots of unique food choices here.

Worth a Try!

Cantinetta Pizza & Pasta Restaurant is an Italian Restaurant located in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer many of your usual Italian favorites. They also offer things like beet carpaccio, salmon carbonara, and chocolate fettuccini. They are under the same ownership as Brunello LV in Summerlin and both restaurants are adorned with a Sofia Loren Pictures.

Whatever you order they start you off with warm bread and sun-dried tomato oil.

Maybe you want to start off with the soup of the day (minestrone was the soup)

or a fried eggplant appetizer with creamy walnut sauce.

Below is the beet salad with burrata, pistachios, pine nuts, oranges, greens, and chicken.

One of the pasta dishes is rigatoni picante with spicy nduja sausage.

Another pasta dish is the gnocchi al taleggio with lots of walnuts and some sausage.

Below is the chicken piccata (lunch portion)

A few of the desserts are gelatos (below is 1/2 pistachio and 1/2 Amareno Cherry)

Another dessert is a cake called chocolate temptation.

Everything was at least reasonably good so Cantinetta Pizza & Pasta is Worth a Try!

Cin Cin Brewery is a small brewery, bar, and sushi sort of restaurant located in the arts district of downtown Las Vegas NV. Inside you can sit at the bar, a community table or a half booth. I heard very good things about this restaurant so I wanted to give it a try.

They had a special on small oysters for $1.00 each so my husband ate 6 of them.

We also shared an order shishito peppers. They were embellished with bonito flakes, soy sauce, something citrus, and tasty small tomatoes.

We also shared a spicy tuna roll.

It’s different. I get almost too much heat from the jalapeños (? maybe they are Serranos?). Soy paper I don’t usually get. It’s different but good.

Cin Cin Brewery is worth a try!
