- foodHowever, the NY steak & Broccolini was THE BOMB, and the Korean Sticky Wings were my absolute favorite – so yummy! Honestly, considering how good the food is and the prices, they should really consider relocating to a more modern and nicer place. We will definitely go back!
- garlic noodlesThe service was amazing, and the food was better than I could have imagined. I had the fried ribs and garlic noodles, the Brussels sprouts, and the Shrimp Trio.
- lamb chopsWe had the lamb chops, ... ALL FIRE!
- noodlesThe noodles complemented the dish beautifully, absorbing the rich, soulful sauce
- oxtail tacosoxtail tacos 🤪 and oxtail garlic noodles 😋 Everything was absolutely delicious!
- portionsthe portions that you are receiving will take you longer than 20 minutes to finish
- flavorThis restaurant is full of flavor and deliciousness.
- flavorsMy experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was truly great, with huge shrimp and delicious flavors. However, the service was HORRIBLE.
- lemonadeThe portion sizes are huge, so thankfully we shared. The lemonade was really good; we mixed strawberry and blueberry as they were out of pineapple. I definitely recommend saving that $50+ taxi/Uber fee from the Strip to here if you're visiting.
- ribsmy daughter had the ribs
Frequently criticized
- garlic noodlesI enjoyed everything except the garlic noodles. The noodles were just too rich.
- foodfood looked really good and presentation was nice
- noodlesThe noodles was not garlic infused, they were extremely salty, dry,and chewy.
- oxtailsMy $40 oxtails tasted like jerky with some weird oversaturated sweetness added to it.
- steakhis steak was so overcooked it tasted like he was eating a sandal.
- lamb chopsThen ordered lamb chops which said 4 on the menu and we only got 3.
- Brussel sproutsFrom oxtails, to salmon, Brussel sprouts, green beans, bread pudding
- chickenThe chicken that topped the noddles was very charred and burnt tasting.
- crab cakesAll of the food looked great on the plate, but it was tooooooo salty
- dishThe chicken topping the noodles was very charred and tasted burnt. I was very dissatisfied with the dish. On a positive note, the waitress was nice.
If you're looking for big flavors and generous portions, this place is often a winner, especially for its signature garlic noodles and Korean chicken. Just be aware that some dishes can be inconsistent in seasoning or availability, so it might be a bit of a gamble.

Frequently criticized
- serviceEvery time I’ve supported a Black business in Las Vegas, I’m disappointed. It’s either the food or the service. I spend my money where I’m appreciated.
- waitressCar trouble and all, we drove 30 minutes to grab takeout. We both walked in, said hello, and the waitress SCREAMED “kitchen is closed and we will not be making any more food, we open tomorrow at 12. ” 🤣🤣 Not hello, I’m so sorry but our kitchen is closed, you’re more than welcome to come back at 12 when we open.
- cooksrepresented horribly by the cooks of that night
- wait timeit takes the waiter about 20 minutes to get you a menu
- waiting timeUnfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected. I waited an hour for my food, only to be told that one of the items I ordered, the oxtail tacos, was no longer available. When I asked to replace it, the staff informed me it would take another hour, and the restaurant was full.
- attitudeA taped sign on the door indicated they close at 7 pm and stop serving food when they run out, which seemed unusual for a restaurant. Once inside, the waitress immediately informed us of a 45-minute wait for food after ordering and displayed an unwelcoming attitude. It was 5: 30 pm on a Saturday, and we felt like we were being turned away.
- customer serviceUpon arrival, I was told we couldn’t dine because there were reservations and that we had to wait outside in 106°F heat. When I asked why this wasn't communicated over the phone, I was met with bad customer service.
- employeeMy first impression of this restaurant was not good due to an employee cursing and making a scene. When we went to order, we found out they were out of several items, including the oxtail, lobster, and dessert.
- kitchenCar trouble and all, we drove 30 minutes to grab takeout.

If you catch them on a good day with an attentive server, you might have a fantastic experience. But be prepared for potential frustrations with wait times or inconsistent policies, especially if you're planning a visit during busy hours.
Ambience (6.6 out of 10)
mentioned by 42% of the guests

- grease smellThe atmosphere inside was horrible; the few patrons present were silent and appeared unhappy, as if they regretted their decision to eat there. The interior was dark and dingy, and we left smelling of grease after only a few minutes. Additionally, there were numerous signs detailing strict policies, such as no split checks, automatic gratuity for larger parties, no seating until the entire party is present, a no-firearms policy, and the right to refuse service.

- PricesPrices are a little hefty though
- advertisementI came from Palm Beach, FL, and I've never been to a restaurant so out of touch with its own food. This place is a lie; they con people out of their money with false advertisement. When paying $95, people should leave happy, not with their food in a box.
- cashdo not accept cash for takeout orders
- double chargecharge us twice for the fried shrimp add-on
If youre considering this spot, be aware that value is a major point of contention for many. While some find good deals, the overwhelming feedback suggests you might find the prices too high for what you get. Proceed with caution, especially if youre on a budget.

Big Flavors, Impeccable Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. Despite the small dining area, the flavors were big. I was intentionally seeking to support a local Black-owned business while in Vegas, and this establishment did not disappoint.
I enjoyed the NY Strip and broccolini over noodles, which were incredibly savory and delicious, served in large portions. The service was impeccable and attentive. I am eager to visit again soon.

Mixed Feelings: Good Music, Poor Food
I recently discovered this restaurant and decided to give it a try. The interior is small, but the music was very good. The service was attentive, however, the food was a definite NO.
The wings lacked seasoning, and my lamb chops were also under seasoned and slightly tough. While the noodles had a great taste, they were unpleasantly gummy. Another diner ordered the steak and prawns; the steak was very fatty, but the fried prawns were fantastic, arguably the best thing on anyone's plate.
Considering the price, I don't believe the food is worth it. I am very sure that I won't be returning to this establishment.

Disappointing Food Despite Instagram Hype
I was so excited to try this place, but the food wasn't as good as I had hoped. While the food photographs well, it didn't live up to its taste. The garlic noodles were over-garlicky spaghetti, and the salmon was overcooked.
My husband's oxtails were cold, though the server did replace his order with the shrimp scampi, which was just okay. I wanted to love it after following the owner on Instagram, but it just wasn't a hit for us.

Amazing Fusion Food, Worth Every Penny!
My experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. The food is top-tier Fusion, so good that the limited seating makes perfect sense. The portions are incredibly generous, easily taking over 20 minutes to finish.
It's a family friendly place with two large TV screens showing movies you'll actually want to watch. I often spend more than I intend to, but the leftovers provide a week's worth of meals. I highly recommend trying everything on the menu, just spread it out over multiple visits!
