Gjelina is a contemporary restaurant and bar that is located on restaurant row in the Venetian Hotel/Casino. During lunch time they offer a menu with raw fish, salads, sandwiches, hand made pastas, wood fired pizzas, platters, vegetable sides, and more.

Inside are multiple dining areas and a bar.

We shared a vegetable side order of Oyster Mushrooms with Guajillo Pepper, and Cilantro-Avocado Emulsion.

Tasty – It’s almost like chicken taco filling. Somehow I almost wish this was a taco.

My main was the Blackened Sea Bass Sandwich withBlack Garlic Aioli and Slaw and house made potato chips.

This is harder to eat than it looks. There is a very generous amount of pickled vegetables under all that fish. It’s all very good but also hard to eat. The house made potato chips are also very good. Nice and crisp and seems free of oil.

My husband tried a Cured Chorizo Pizza (pomodoro, Calabrian Chili, Red Onion, Mozzarella)

They bring him seasonings too.

He said that this pizza was delicious and very good.

Gjelina is certainly Worth a Try!

I decided to try the Korean Salad today with house dressing.

It’s a plate of plain soft greens surrounded by tomato wedges and cucumber slices. It is topped with crispy sweet chicken nuggets. I note than I am not an expert on Korean cuisine but have had what they call Korean Chicken several times and none of the times did it taste just very sweet like it does here at Zippy’s. I think children would love this chicken but it is maybe a bit sweet for most adults. The house dressing is creamy but taste mainly like sesame oil.

My husband tried the popular plate what they call Zip Pac (pickled radish, rice topped with furikake, fried chicken, fried fish, Spam, teriyaki beef and chili)

My husband said his favorite meat was the Spam. He said the chicken was alright but a little dry today. The fish was a little fishy. The beef was tender but also was very VERY sweet (like the Korean Fried chicken). Macaroni salad was creamy like it is suppose to be. The furikake was a nice embellishment to the rice that you usually don’t get at most Hawaiian places.

We felt the need to try a dessert so we tried the dobash (chocolate chiffon cake with a chocolate pudding type frosting.

This one tastes like a box mix to me.

That was my trip to Zippy’s

Arata Sushi has two locations in Las Vegas. We went to the North/West location at 3250 N Tenya Way. It’s a smaller sushi restaurant that only offers soft beverages.

We started out by trying the tempura vegetables.

Everything was tasty and fried very well all shattering crisp and seemed free of oil. We got onion rings and all fried sweet potatoes.

For our sushi we got fresh wasabi.

Here’s the Nevada Roll (tuna, salmon, yellowtail)

All the sushi held together well and all the fish used seemed reasonably fresh.

The Spicy Tuna isn’t too hot and has a bit of a kick to it.

The Salmon Lover Roll came with a fruit sauce that was not mentioned on the menu. This roll has the most flavors going on with it but has an unusual creamy texture to it that was odd to us.

Zaxby’s is a chicken theme fast food casual chain of restaurants. They offer appetizers, limited time specials, chicken fingers, boneless and regular chicken wings, sandwich meals, salads, kids menu, desserts and more.

We tried the Zaxby’s on Craig Road in North Las Vegas.

We ordered and paid and very quickly our meals arrived.

I tried a Grilled Asian Zensation Salad with citrus vinaigrette.

It’s kinda strange. I got fresh lettuce, cubes of chicken breast, some crispy noodles, a vegetable roll, and a BIG PILE OF COLE SLAW in the middle of the salad topped with a disgusting sauce. Maybe I could almost like this salad if it didn’t contain that very awful tasting sauce.

My husband did better.He got the signature Zaxby’s fried chicken sandwich with some fries and we shared fried cheddar bites.

This sandwich won’t win any prices for beauty but it is tasty and juicy.

Fries are reasonably good.

Cheddar bites are OK but they don’t look or taste like cheddar. They are kinda stringy.

We ordered a few sauces to try with the fries and cheddar bites.

Tongue Torch sauce, Hot Honey Mustard, and Spicy Zaxby’s. I think we liked the spicy Zaxby’s sauce the best.

Gave my dogs some when I got home.

Not the best and also not the worst.

Some things here are also better than other things.

Wahoo’s specialty are fish tacos but they are also a 24/7 gaming, bar, and also restaurant with (at this time) six locations in Las Vegas Nevada. You can seat yourself in the bar –

Or the separate dining area –

Or the patio (not photoed)

You order and pay at the counter and someone runs you your order as it’s ready.

I tried three tacos. – salmon citrus-slaw taco, crispy pollock taco, 1988 spicy Wahoo taco.

The non-fried tacos are double shelled. They are all pretty good. Some have more flavors than others. I think the tastiest taco is the fried crispy fish taco. The batter is seasoned nice and the one tortilla on it seems to fit better. But they are all A-OK.

We also shared some onion rings that are also pretty good. The are very crispy and seem free of oil. Also the onions stay in place and don’t pull out when you eat them.

My husband had a three taco platter with rice and 1/2&1/2 beans. Carnitas, Shrimp, and a Fried Fish Taco

He was surprised that everything was at least good (especially the carnitas and shrimp)

I have to say Wahoo’s is Wroth a Try!

Peinto Thai Kitchen is located in the North/West part of Vegas. They are a full service Thai Restaurant that also offers beer and a wine list. Inside are traditional tables and booths.

I tried the Three Flavors Salmon (Sweet, Spicy, Sour). It came with steamed vegetables and rice.

It’s a generous portion of food and could possibly be two meals for some people. The salmon is cooked to well but is still moist inside. You need to use the sweet, spicy, sour sauce to add flavors to the dish. It’s tasty and good.

My husband tried the Plumena Spicy Noodle with Chicken. (#4 out of 5 for heat)

Everything thing here is tasty and #4 is a good amount of heat for this dish.

This is how you say it –
