It’s very rare that I will pick one of my husband’s favorite dishes but I am picking this dish for good reason. He said that this sandwich was amazing! He said that the pork belly was incredible. Even the roll was amazing with the right crunch and just right fluffy interior. He said that this sandwich was so out of the ordinary very good that it might be impossible to order anything else from this restaurant. (it is a baguette sandwich. Normally comes with a spread of mayo (but left off at my husband’s request. It also contains cucumber, scallions, cilantro, pickled carrot, daikon, jalapeño, and that spectacular pork belly .) So……That is good reason to make the Pork Belly Nom Pang from Nom Pang the notable dish of the week!

Little Dumpling is a casual American/Chinese Restaurant located in the North/West part of Las Vegas Nevada. In addition to the usual American/Chinese foods they also offer two pages of Thai Style Dishes.
It’s small and cozy inside. They offer booth seating and half booths.
We started out by sharing the potstickers. (they are chicken here)
They are actually quite good here. These are one of the only places that prepares them as they should with a crispy bottom. Most places in the area just fry them crispy all over.
Little Dumpling offers different spicy heat levels on the dishes. 1-10 and number 20. The server said that number 7 is too hot for her so I ordered number 5 and it was pretty hot. My husband ordered number 7 and it was even hotter.
I tried the spicy garlic chicken (it came with white rice).
It is a very generous serving. It also is packed with a good amount of vegetables (bell pepper, onions, carrots, celery, zucchini, baby corn, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots) and tender white meat chicken. The sauce does run sweet. If I was home I would add a little hoisin sauce to this and maybe a splash of sherry.
My husband tried the Kung Pao with beef.
This dish is also very generous in size. It comes with a nice amount of vegetables and peanuts. The sauce is unlike any I ever tried at any Chinese/American Restaurant. The sauce here is a spicy black bean sauce made with Szechwan Peppercorns.
Nom Pang recently opened in the North-West Part of Las Vegas Nevada. This is a casual restaurant that offers Cambodian Dishes. Maybe you are not familiar with Cambodian Foods…No worries because if you eat sandwiches you will find something you like. This Cambodian cuisine is very similar to Vietnamese Cuisine. They offer their version of Banh Mi Baguette Sandwiches but here they are called Nom Pang. Also similar to Vietnamese dishes like rice plates, noodle salad bowls, curry and more is offered here. Soft beverages, smoothies, milk teas, slush drinks, iced coffee and boba is offered here.
It’s casual. You order and pay at the counter.
Then you seat yourself.
The tables are topped with napkins, chopsticks, sriracha, and other hot condiments.
I tried a Spicy Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli Bowl (lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, cilantro, cabbage, pickled carrots, dressing, peanuts, crispy shallots)
It’s generous in size and the dark meat chicken is tender and delicious…….It’s actually more flavorful and more spicy than the Vietnamese Versions I’ve tried.
My husband said that the Pork Belly Nom Pang was so amazing he doesn’t know if he can order anything else here (possibly a rice flour baguette or it seemed like, mayo (left off at my husband’s request), cucumber, scallion, pickled carrot, daikon, cilantro, jalapeño, pork belly).
Can’t wait to try more!
Nom Pang is Worth a Fork!

Da Braddah’s Grindz serves Hawaiian Food from a food truck and also has two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. The North/West Location newly opened in a Sinclair Gas Station. They offer Hawaiian Plate Lunches (enormous amounts of food with rice and macaroni salad served in styrofoam boxes), all day breakfast, burgers, and more. With only two tables inside to sit at so this is mainly a take out location.
You order and pay at the counter.
I tried the Korean Chicken Lunch Plate.
The steamed rice and macaroni salad is very good. The dark meat chicken is very tender and does have good flavors to it but something is wrong with the breading because it is wet and soggy.
My husband tried a two meat plate, (kalua pork & furikake chicken).
He said that the pulled pork, rice, and macaroni salad, was very good. Same problem with the chicken here. The chicken was tender and had good flavors to it but here the breading was wet and more like a paste texture.
Maybe the breading problem is an newly opening hiccup?
For now I’d avoid breaded foods here and the rest is worth a try.
Cornish Pasty is a growing group of British Style Pub and Restaurants. Several locations are in Arizona and one location is in the Arts District in Las Vegas Nevada. The specialty of the house is the Cornish Pasty. It’s a hearty stuffed pastry. They offer many varieties of the pasty. Typical ones are meat and potato filled but they also offer vegetarian and vegan pasty. Inside is a mix of bar area, long bench tables that look similar to church seating, and some traditional tables.
The Arts District Las Vegas location gets slammed when festivals and conventions are in town and is often out of menu items so much that they have these QR Table tents on the tables.
I thought it was weird when our waiter told us to scan the QR with our phone instead of just telling us what they were out of.
My husband is usually really good at these things but here the print on the phone was so small that my husband missed a lot of it.
They were out of my first two choices so I went with my third choice and ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala Pasty. It comes with your choice of yogurt or tahini for dipping. My waiter didn’t ask me what I wanted and brought me the yogurt. I asked him if I could exchange the yogurt for tahini since that was unique.
The pasty looks good….Inside is mostly potatoes with some green bell peppers a little bit of chicken and tikka masala sauce. The bottom of my pasty is soggy and the bottom of the dough crimp (top middle) is raw. I didn’t complain because it is a generous serving and I have enough to eat. By the way the tahini sauce is awful with this pasty.
My husband did much better with the Carne Adovada (Mexican Beef) because it isn’t saucy inside. This one wasn’t soggy or raw inside.
We shared British Style Chips.
I don’t know if they were made correctly? We received a mix of soggy and raw fry shaped potatoes. Some of them had burnt ends…….???? I thought British Style Chips had crisp exteriors and fluffy interiors?
Yoshiharu Ramen is famous in Orange California. This is the flagship restaurant that is considered to be the #1 ramen restaurant by the O.C. Register. There are around 13 other locations in California, one location in Onterio, and one (at the moment) location in North Las Vegas Nevada. The North Las Vegas Location offers soft beverages, beers, and sake. They also offer appetizers like fried seafood plates, and fried calamari. They offer around several varieties of pork bone broth ramen, vegetable ramen, chicken ramen, and a variety of sushi rolls. Their website list the dishes that they offer in California. Here in Las Vegas the selection does differ some.
Inside it looks exactly the same as it looked when the last Ramen Restaurant was here. Inside is a mix of booths, and half booths with an open kitchen.
We started out by sharing the Crispy Spicy Tuna.
It taste great but isn’t spicy. But this is very hard to eat because of the way they shaped it and also because they made it so darn crispy that you might need dental work after munching some down. It’s like trying to eat rocks. I don’t know if they always make the rice so hard?
I planned to get the spicy tuna bowl that I saw on-line but none of the bowls are on the menu here so I tried the Tuna Lover Sushi Roll (Tuna, Spicy Tuna, Cucumber, Mentaiko, Ponzu, Onion Chips).
This does have a nice heat to it. At first it doesn’t seem spicy at all but then it hits you. It’s pretty good. My only peeve is that the onion chips are too small and too crisp. They are like hard shreds of glass.
My husband tried the Tonkotsu Spicy Black Ramen (Pork Bone Broth and Miso topped with Pork Chashu (he added extra), Scallions, Bean Sprouts, Wood Ear Mushrooms, Bamboo Shoots, Roasted Black Garlic Oil, House Spicy Paste, Flavored Egg, Sesame Seeds, and Ramen Noodles).
He said that the pork chashu was tender and good. He didn’t think that the broth was spicy or as deep as some that he prefers but it was A-OK.
The Golden Pouches from Lemongrass & Lime are so darn tasty that everyone will like them. My husband hates curry but still thinks these things are delicious….and THEY ARE! They are rice paper that is stuffed with mashed potatoes and they sit on a very good massaman curry sauce and are topped with some crispy shallots.
The Notable Dish of the Week was the Golden Pouches from Lemongrass & Lime.
China Hot Wok is a small casual Chinese/American take out or dine restaurant located in North/West Las Vegas. It’s not a fancy place. You order and pay at the counter. Your order comes out as it’s prepared.
My dinner, Spicy Garlic Szechuan Chicken with fortune cookies and rice were the first plates that came out.
This is a generous serving. There are lots of fresh vegetables and a good amount of tender white meat chicken with the normal amount of take out heat. But the sauce is pretty one note and sweet. I think this is what Nevada Style is because most Chinese/American restaurants in the area make these dishes this way.
About five minutes latter my husband’s dinner of Hunan Beef arrives.
I think they tried to make this with dry crispy beef but the beef is chewy and leaves a floury aftertaste in the mouth. The sauce runs sweet in the dish with less heat than the chicken dish.
About five minutes latter that appetizer arrives it’s the paper wrapped chicken (that is actually foil wrapped).
I had this dish before and I thought it was delicious…But here the chicken is slightly dry and seasoned in a strange way. Neither of us can stomach it.
That was my trip to China Wok. Your experience and taste may indeed differ.
The California Fish Grill is a chain of seafood restaurants that are located in the greater Las Angeles area, the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Arizona, and Nevada. They say that they only serve responsibly sourced seafood.
On the menu are grilled plates, bowls, salads, tacos, sandwiches, kids meals, and more.
The Las Vegas Centennial (North/West) location has a dog friendly outside patio.
But inside is a mix of tables and a few booths.
The Las Vegas Centennial location has two self ordering stations and one traditional ordering counter.
You seat yourself and they text you when your order is ready.
Almost everything was very good and delicious and they serve the food on real plates.
Battered fish (swai that seemed as good as cod) and shrimp (the battered white fish is actually quite good)
Shrimp taco
Cajun Salmon Taco
Side – tomatoes and feta cheese
Side – Parmesan green beans (this was REALLY tasty)
Side – beans
Mediterranean Branzino Grill Plate
Grilled sockeye salmon salad with added avocado. This was the only plate that wasn’t perfect. The salad is delicious. They gave a generous portion of salmon but it is slightly over cooked. The other issues are that they didn’t remove the bloodline and the the salmon skin on the bottom isn’t crispy. They told me that they can cook less if I ask them too….So I’m not sure if the salmon will be better next time or not?
The California Fish Grill was Better than I expected it to be.
