This place isn't too bad. Decent amount of seating, but definately doesn't give the impression that you can linger with your coffee or tea. Stopped off here to grab a tea post-meal. The set up is a bit too industrial for my taste. And the bussing…More »

My sister brought home these guys a few weeks ago, and they were already eaten up in a day.

This place is newly open, and they say they've around since 1947, but I'm not sure exactly where they've been open since then.

Either case, this place does…More »

hrmm, last time I was here it was almost a year ago.  Not much has changed in the passing of time.

This place is pretty much serves all day Shanghai-style dim sum. Food-wise, it is pretty consistent and decent and it shows because if you hit this…More »

  Update - 12/8/2011

I think I'm in love with this store for their in-store events.

Recently they added a little passageway to a soon-to-be-open cafe.

I showed up here for the Anna Olson Book Q & A and book signing - kinda wish there was more seating to be had, since…More »

Like most of the Davids tea locations, the decor is pretty standard, with a large tea tasting bar one side and on the other gift sets and sampler boxes.

They have a couple of tables and chairs (like 2) to sit down and enjoy your tea, but this location…More »

Lola's Commissary, I need to revisit with the "Brunch" club to experience the service.

3 words - Cheesecake French Toast; which is pretty good.

But I've been getting take out from Lola, since I work a quick hop and a skip from there.

dingy dingy dingy, I wouldn't have in a million years come here; if it wasn't for the fact that this place was suggested to us by DT auntie and uncle.

This place is in a pokey old plaza that doesn't have enough parking, and is crowded beyond belief,…More »

This place is pretty good option when I'm looking for something quick and simple, they've got a ton of options and they do them pretty well. I like their HK-style noodle soup, more specifically their satay beef one, with instant noodles.

But their…More »

Since I'm not likely to go to Per Se or Napa Valley any time soon, Bouchon seemed like a good choice to kick of my week-long trip here in Vegas.

So seeing how prices can be crazy expensive, we decided to visit for Brunch/Breakfast. Bouchon doesn't…More »

2nd time seeing this show, and it still impresses me. But I probably won't wouldn't have seen it, if it wasn't for the fact that Cirque was offering a discount for Canadians (check out their special website for shows in LV for specials)

The show is…More »

Lotus was ok, but I'm comparing to the plethora of Thai food back at home, but that their spicy is mild to my palate and I was expecting something more.  Our party of four showed up on a Tuesday afternoon, seeking a change of pace. We ordered mostly…More »

Bouchon Bakery when can you come visit me? Because I can't really bring you with me when I leave. *sobs* and I was expecting I could sit and enjoy your atmosphere, and you're only a take-out counter!

Ok... I have mixed feeling about this place.... I really do..

This came on a recommend and it wasn't bad... but it wasn't knock-your-socks off either.

There are a few things I didn't appreciate, and that tainted the whole experience there.

For one,…More »

The boutique is small, but I like how the service here isn't too pushy. It makes a huge difference and I appreciate it.

I feel in love with this bag; but with the price tag attached to it, made me hesitate. I felt comfortable to browse to look over…More »

OK, so I'm in Vegas, and it was decided we'd cheap out and spend $50 for the 24hr buffet.

So this was round number 2 of 3 rounds.

We got here just in time to gobble up some breakfast, while they were transitioning to Lunch. I suggest taking in the…More »

I'd say this is the place to go for Ramen time.

Extremely hard to find parking in the front, but if you go to the back of the plaza there normally is enough parking and it's easier to exit once you finish eating.

This place specializes in Ramen, I…More »

Niwatei is ok. I think I like Kenzo's broth more, but the deals here are better.  $12.80 for ramen, a small appy and dessert isn't much to complain about.

They're pretty busy on the weekend, but service seems to move quickly enough. I liked their miso…More »
