It took me a while to finally try Monta after reading about it in a couple local Vegas magazines, and damn was it worth the wait.

2. Nielsen's Frozen Custard
Las Vegas, NV 89123
(702) 451-4711
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Southeast
Nielsen's.... you are heaven in my mouth. THIS IS THE GOLDEN STANDARD FOR ALL FROZEN TREATS!

(702) 607-0700
Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Bars,
Dim Sum
Neighbourhood: The Strip
I had heard about Sushi Samba for a while and finally got a chance to try it. It was definitely worth the try for it's unique blend of South American and Japanese flavors. The meats (Kobe) and grilled fish (sea bass) are spot on. The unique spices…More »
4. The Coffee Shop
Las Vegas, NV 89136
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
American (Traditional)

Sloppy Joe - classic, delicious sauce, and…More »
6. Capriotti's Sandwich Shop
Like ABC Stores in Honolulu, HI, there is a Capriotti's in almost every strip mall in Vegas and it's surrounding suburbs. I chose this one to review because I frequent it the most.
I would love to give Capriotti's five stars but cannot. On…More »
7. Firefly - CLOSED
On my never ending quest to eat food, I rarely return to a place to eat more than once. If I should return, it is because the food, atmosphere or people there are amazing. Firefly definitely falls on that list for me.
I came here on a special date…More »
8. Bachi Burger
I have been to bachi burger many many times, and I have never been disappointed. For all of you complainers about the wait, the food is worth it. I will admit, sometimes the wait can be a bit long, but I have never had a bad experience food wise at…More »

I know that my reviews will far differ from my friends Alan W and Lan N who I enjoyed this restaurant with (I am calling you out!), but I enjoyed my food much more than they did. Also, I did return and had an…More »
10. Smashburger
Honestly, everyone has their preference for the perfect burgers, but for me, Smashburger is pretty close. The sad thing for me is that the closest ones to me are 1:30 flight or 2:30 drive.... On to the burgers!
I have had the Las Vegas special and…More »

Las Vegas, NV 89109

Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 388-8338
Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: The Strip
It is really hard for me to write an honest review for this place. I have so many partial memories, that everything kinda blurs together... but I will soldier on and try my best.
Part 1 Review: Restaurant
So if you have had a chance to eat here, it…More »
13. Botero
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 770-7000
Categories:
Steakhouses,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Soo, hello again. As you may recognize from previous reviews, I like to Vegas... a lot. Vegas may be a borderline addiction for me ( I do go through Vegas withdrawals). So on many visits to Vegas, I do go to XS at Encore to club and what not, and…More »

15. Raku
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 367-3511
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
It took so many attempts to finally try Raku. One failed reservation and one failed late night arrival (kitchen closed like 10 mins before I got there), later, I finally got a reservation... for 10pm at night.
I was hoping for an early dinner time to…More »
16. Rincon De Buenos Aires
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 257-3331
Categories:
Steakhouses,
Argentine
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Rincon de Buenos Aires is a very nondescript shop that can easily get lost in the noise of china town. The first thing you see when looking a the shop is a bunch of different signs that say deli, bakery and finally the name of the business. But, on…More »
17. Secret Pizza
Authentic east coast style pizza joint? In Vegas? At the Cosmo? Open 24/7? Only 4 bucks? HOLY CRAP
This is an amazing place on the strip. The pizza (I have been here about 4 times) is always good with a perfect blend of cheese, delicious sauce, fresh…More »

19. Picasso
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 693-7111
WOW.
I could probably end my review of Picasso right there with that one statement of a word. But... let's get some more food-porn style descriptions going!
Since I came with a partner in crime, we each ordered a different menu (one Prix Fixe and one…More »
20. DW Bistro

(702) 527-5200
Categories:
Caribbean,
American (New)

21. Kyara Japanese Tapas
Another hidden gem of Las Vegas! A perfect reason as to why you should rent a car and explore the delicious foods off of the Vegas Strip.
While Kyara may not be as easily accessible (a little hard to find) or celebrated as other izakaya places in…More »
Recently updated lists from Thomas N.
Top Restaurants & Eating Spots! (67)Some of my favorite dining destinations. |
Where I Get Drunk! (17)I go out and drink A LOT. I love the atmosphere, the people and the buzz. Here are my favorite places! |
Wine me baby one more time! (21)I love wine. Plain and simple. I have traveled up and down California enjoying some of the best wines in the world. This list is dedicated to all that is wine in my world. Enjoy! |
California Central Coast Wine Tour (11)A (growing) list of my favorite stops during a really fun road trip in the lesser-traveled Central Coast Wine area that includes awesome Los Olivos, Solvang, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez and Santa Barbara, plus some delicious food spots on the way! |
Tacos, Sopes and Pupusas oh my! (15)Burritos, ehh. Quesadillas, you are good after midnight with a slight buzz. When I want my latin american food fix, I go for tacos, sopes and pupusas!Because I love seafood tacos, I had to include them on this list and share with the world their AWESOME GLORY. |
Napa & Sonoma Wine Tour! (10)My list of favorite wineries and food stops in the most popular wine region on the Left Coast, with a special emphasis on the Russian River AVA (my favorite area)! I hope some of these suggestions help. And always remember, HAPPY DRINKING! |
Sandwich Heaven (39)I do not consider myself a foodie so much as a lover of food. I do not have the most discerning palate. I just love food. So with that intro, I begin my first, dearest, and eventually long Yelp list.There is always a debate about what grain is the best. Many may consider this blasphemous considering my Asian heritage, but nothing, absolutely nothing, beats... BREAD. There are occasions for rice (when eating Panda Express Orange Chicken) and noodles (hang over pho or ramen), but bread is the food of the gods. Nothing can beat the experience of eating fresh bread. The crunchy flakey crust, that after you break open, you reach the warm, soft and sometimes moist with steam, innards. Bread, so damn good. Now that I am done with my ode, I will proceed to my list of Sandwich Joints. Nothing to me beats a sandwich for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. Any time of day or night, hot or cold, a sandwich will hit the spot. Now, on with the list! |
Red meat is what I like to eat! (8)Red meat, usually in the form of a steak (medium rare please!), is what I really like to eat. This is my list of places that do red meat right. |
My Vietnamese Addiction (7)I am part Vietnamese, and in all honesty, I shouldn't be addicted to my own food, but I am. I ignored my heritage for a while, but recently, have become hooked (like a fiend) to Vietnamese food in all its forms. This is my list and I am always looking for suggestions to add to it! |
September Funtember Adventures (17)September 2011 was a month to remember (kinda hazy but I remembered enough).This month of Funtember Adventures took me to a concert in Mountain View, wave crashing in Honolulu, brewcycling in Portland, and hockey/partying in Vegas. Hopefully these reviews will give you some ideas where to go on your next adventure and have a blast! |
