Yong Kang Street

Ok, so I’m going to vote based on price discrepancy. Anyplace that charges $ 20 for a bowl of phở is definitely at least $$$, NOT $$! I don’t care WHERE the place is!
I had Taiwanese beef noodle, also $ 20. It was good, but not $ 20 good. (The pizza place 5 doors down have a whole pizza for ~ $ 20!

Limited choices, not as fresh as expected. It filled the void because I was hungry. I will try it again maybe not so late at night.

I ordered duck fried rice and it was lack of taste but i asked for ginger sauce on the side and that helped a lot. This place is quite expensive so might not come back. Dim sum was very expensive too. Nothing special about this place but if you crave for noodles or asian food, head to Asian Noodle at the Venetian.
Service was good tho. Water gets refilled from time to time, hence the 3 stars.

Came here for lunch around 1. We were immediately seated. First impressions were nice décor and cool open kitchen area. We got some dim sum dishes, har gao and shu mai and other classic dim sum dishes. They were pretty average. I’m from DC and we have quite a few good dim sum restaurants so I wasn’t impressed. I came with family and we also got the Singaporean noodles with chicken and house fried rice. Both were pretty average by my scale. I feel like I could’ve made either dish myself. Overall average quality.

OK… I haven’t read prior reviews about this place bit I’m staying at Paris and just wanted to do a decent evening snack on the cheap. ordered the spicy chili wontons which were OFF THE HOOK for only 10.88 and the steamed pork dumplings for 9.88. All I can say is DAYUM. The service from Mike was also tops. Give this dude a raise. He’s good for business. Makes me want to come back and explore all the potential goodness on this menu.

Food was good and was on the table in less than 5 minutes.
Service was great.
Price wise:
*Quite expensive* but what isn’t on the strip.
I guess I would rather pay a little more than to go outside and look for the same food that’s cheaper in price.
Environment really takes you to another place. Decorations all the way down to the tables make this place beautiful.
Serving size is just enough for one person so do not plan on sharing with someone. Order your own.
We ordered the duck on rice, BBQ pork on rice, juicy pork dumplings, lobster fried rice and noodles. All delicious.
I love that there is Asian food available in the Paris hotel and casino!

This place is open late but I feel like my choices were limited. It wasn’t busy at all and I was alarmed the food might not be that well here, but I wanted to give it a shot. It smell so good on the walkway, you can see big pots steaming. It’s like you are on the busy streets wanting to walk in for well, street food. The food is decent but overpriced. There’s dumplings, noodles (taiwanese, chinese, japanese), rice dishes, and also a dim sum cart ranging from $ 6-​$ 10. I got the roast duck soup, wished there was more broth and that the duck was still pretty tough. They offer a good drink variety such as iced coffee and milk tea also but I just stuck to water. If you have an appetite to satisfy and I did, it will be expensive. I picked up the bill for my family and even left still hungry.
I enjoy staying here at Paris, so I will keep this place on my list of eats next time around and would probably just stick with their soups and noodles.

Sigh. Even worse than the typical casino «Asian».
I ended up here because I was checking out Paris (pretty meh, IMO) and I was interested by the dim sum concept. They advertised «20 varieties“‘and perhaps that means that in sum total of the existence of the restaurant they have served 20 kinds. Because when I visited it was like 6 things — egg rolls, wontons, shrimp tempura, sesame buns etc. YAWN. I picked a chicken egg roll and it was served barely warm but tasted fine.
For dinner, I chose tonkatsu ramen and it was pretty terrible. The broth was off tasting, they used sweet BBQ pork (tough & gristly too) and added sweet corn? Wtf? It combined to be very odd indeed. I think it depends when you visit because I saw photos where regular pork was used. It seemed like they thought «well, we got this gnarly ass leftover pork, let’s use it because this girl won’t know better».
Now, you might be thinking «well, what did you expect, ordering Ramen in a French themed casino?» And you would be right — that was a dumb move. Do not be stupid like me and order ramen — in fact, do not order any food here because it is not good.
What is good? Well, the wine prices were not bad for Vegas and the pour was strong. Service was great — really attentive. Still, unless you’re craving what is essentially Panda Express, steer clear.

FOOD
— Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen With Pork: ramen with 4 slices of pork and half aged egg with bean sprouts and green onions. The flavor was okay. I felt like it was lacking something. It was definitely overpriced, but what isn’t in Vegas? 3.5÷5
SERVICE
We were immediately greeted and seated. Our waitress was attentive. I didn’t have any complaints. 3.5÷5
FINAL THOUGHTS
Decent food. I wouldn’t spend this much on ramen anywhere else, but when in Vegas I know food will be pricey. They have a lot of different noodle options. I would come back to try other things.

Mehhh…
Why did we choose to eat chinese inside the paris hotel? WRONG move.
But we were craving asian food, and it was convenient. So we did take out and brought it up to our room.
Maybe because we have an abundance of extremely delicious chinese food in LA, and my palate has uped it’s game in recent years, but this Yong Kang Street Dim Sum spot was …=P
The shrimp fried rice wasn’t bad but everything else, i wasn’t digging it.
The place was always packed though with a long line to get a table. They were killing it

After we dropped of all of our stuff in the hotel rooms, we went downstairs and ate at Yong Kang Street. Stephanie S. and I thought it was pretty funny since we just got back from Taiwan (with the real Yong Kang Street), but our group was down for some dim sum. It turned out to be the most expensive dim sum we’ve ever had!
A small order was about $ 8 and noodle dishes were $ 20 or more. All of the dishes were just okay. When you tack on prices that are 3 times more than usual… Yikes! Lesson learned: When in Vegas, don’t eat Chinese food. Surprisingly, for a group of 8, we only paid $ 25 each.
For these prices, you could definitely eat better elsewhere in Vegas!

I have been wanting to try a noodle place and came across this restaurant while exploring the Paris casino. It was around 11pm, which is apparently considered late night, even in Las Vegas, because the late night limited menu is what was available. When we were seated, we were the only ones in the restaurant. The seating area is nice, it’s supposed to feel as if we’re sitting outside on a Parisian patio, which it did. Our server was helpful in explaining what our choices were on the menu, which were basically noodles and meat with peanut butter sauce, or noodles and meat in soup, as well as the dim sum cart.
I decided on the shrimp noodle soup. It was just over $ 20, which seemed odd for one person, but I figured it must be an amazing noodle soup. The dim sum cart lady came by and explained the dishes, although her English wasn’t great and I only had a very basic understanding of what the dishes were, having never eaten dim sum. I ordered the shrimp sticky rice balls (2 for $ 7.88) and she put them on the table and stamped our card. They were okay, kind of weird tasting, and I wouldn’t order them again.
My soup came out not long after and was basically a bowl of ramen noodles, 6 or 7 shrimp, green onions and cabbage. (They had apparently forgotten I asked for no cabbage, although they remembered no cilantro). The broth was pretty flavorless and really just tasted like water. I had to add soy sauce and the spicy red sauce from the table to make it enjoyable to eat. Honestly, homemade Top Ramen noodles in the plastic package at the grocery store is much more flavorful and way cheaper.
Our server was attentive until I got my food, then she was nowhere to be seen. Keep in mind there was only one other table occupied in the entire place. I had to flag down the manager who was chatting with other servers to ask for the check. When he brought it, I had been charged for two portions of dim sum, even though I clearly only had one. Then I had to wait to flag down our server and wait for her to fix the check before we could pay and leave. $ 30 for a flavorless bowl of soup and rice balls was way overpriced, even for Vegas. Try one of the other noodle places in Vegas!

Well, I had a strange experience here. My wife and I found this place in the Paris hotel and wanted to give it a try. It’s open until 3am, we were thrilled about that since we just saw Jersey Boys there. The people working were very nice and helpful, our waitress was exceptionally gracious. My wife got the chicken noodle soup and it was delicious. We also got some dim sum and it was great. I got the Taiwanese Style Beef Noodle Soup (see picture) and didn’t really like it. I think the problem was that it was too authentic for me. I’m pretty sure soup contained a blood broth and the flavor was just not to my liking. We both ate all of the chicken soup and the dim sum. The waitress noticed that I didn’t like the beef noodle soup and took it off the bill for us. I think the lesson here is to know what you are ordering. Again, it was a lovely place but I just didn’t care for what I ordered.

Tried a lot off stuff off the carts and menu. Everything was delicious and authentic. Took us right back to our trip to China and Japan. Service was great and quick despite them being busy and staff were friendly.
It is pricy but its the strip so to be expected

I should have known better than to eat in any of the restaurants in this area, but it was pouring outside so I didn’t want to venture far from my hotel.
Based on the two food items I tried and a review of the items on the food cart I’d say the food here isn’t too bad, but is way overpriced. What really put me off though was the service. There was a delay before someone came to take my order, so during that time I partook in one of the items from the dim sum cart — some kind of fried meat dumpling that was about on par with what I’d had at other dim sum joints but cost about three times more ($ 6.88 USD for two pieces). Once I finally ordered (spicy chilli wontons for just under $ 12 USD for 6 and a beer) the food came quickly. So quickly in fact that the condiments for said dumplings came out some 5 minutes later (after I had eaten them — for the record they were actually quite tasty).
The bill came out even faster… I was not even halfway through my beer before the waitress came out and unceremoniously dumped the bill on my table. She returned a few minutes later asking whether I was paying by cash or card. I pointed out that I wasn’t even half done my beer and she apologized and went away.
Not sure what the rush was about, the restaurant wasn’t even half full.
So in summary, food was okay (though mediocre if you live in city with good access to Asian food, like Toronto) but WAY overpriced, service needs work.

I came here with my family for some lunch. This Chinese restaurant is located in the Paris casino.
The layout of the restaurant is really cute. It looks like an open air café in the streets of Paris or something. There’s cute lights hanging from the sign, and tables «inside» the railing as well as «outside» the railing (so it looks like you’re eating on the street).
The menu is mixed dimsum and ordering entrees. To my amazement, there was actually a woman pushing a dimsum cart around the tables. But be warned that it’s Vegas and the prices are a lot higher than your usual dim sum place. Small, medium, and large orders are closer to $ 7, $ 8, and $ 9 per dimsum order.
I thought this place wouldn’t be that good but I was surprised by the quality of the food. The pineapple bun dimsum was pretty good! The buns were very fresh and large, and the pineapple bun coating/​shell on the top was delicious. It was probably the most expensive pineapple bun I purchased from anywhere ($ 3.88 for two buns) but it was still good.
The xiao long bao came in an order of 4. It was decent, but I thought the dumplings could have been a little bigger and juicier. Probably not worth the I think $ 8-​$ 9 for a small order of 4.
The dan dan noodles were interesting. The sauce was excessive so it almost looked like a soup noodle dish when you get the bowl. But I thought the sauce turned out well, since it was really peanut/​sesame flavored. It was also quite spicy too! I ordered duck with the noodles (you get a choice of meat), but I didn’t think the BBQ duck went that well with the dan dan noodles sauce.
The ramen broth was a bit too watery for my taste but mild enough for my dad.
Scallion pancake was good too, although it’s just the pancake, no egg like my mom would make it at home!
Also don’t try to get Total Rewards points here. It doesn’t seem to work, and after talking to the Total Rewards desk, you can redeem your points here but I think the minimum was like 200 points for $ 1 (hardly seems worth it especially for casual Vegas goers like me).

Almost a 4-​star, depending on one’s mood & situation.
Even though I’m a CBC, and prefer non-​Chinese food, after 3 days of heavy eating, chowing down on one’s grass roots is a natural phenomena – I think lol.
So during my many frequents back and forth Paris/​Ballys/​Planet Hollywood, and passing by YKS and their super long lineups, my first initial glance is, ‘nah, made for westerners, I can eat this stuff at home’…
Eventually curiosity got the better of me, and despite the high prices (which I can accept, it’s vEgas, it’s our crappy Canadian dollar), I just have to try it out. Besides, mostly Asians were eating here, probably for the same reason lol.
First off, the veggies were great. Bak choy at this stage, my body needs it.
Wonton noodle, pretty decent too. And the broth wasn’t as loaded with MSG as to be expected.
Roast duck, pieces-​wise adequate in itself, and we’re not exactly in Chinatown, so for $ 18, whatever.
now, we were totally impressed by the service, spoke Cantonese a few times.
Unlike other restaurants, it’s OKAY to order just cold water – what’s even cooler, is that they topped up a few times too.
Liked the picnic style seating along the wall.
Yes, long lineups as usual everywhere, and honestly, not worth the wait if you’re short on time.
But a nice change.

We ate here twice over the course of three days. That should speak volumes for any who know me and my reviews, as we like to try as many new things as possible when traveling.
We were actually trying to make our way to the quick-​serve crêpe window down the «street», but my cousin and I both saw the sign for this restaurant at the same time, and were immediately intrigued.
Walking over to the hostess stand, we saw a couple ladies pushing dim sum carts, and made the decision to eat there. My husband had to join us, but I don’t think he minded so much.
Our first time here, we were trying to snack only, as we planned on dining at the Bacchanal buffet for a late lunch. So it was with that thought in mind that we sat down to snack on a few items from the dim sum carts.
Let me just pause here to say that the dining area is kind of small, and not really conducive to having several carts pushed around, like you’d expect from a dim sum restaurant. And, though they give you a menu that lists the items you can find within the carts — from Group A on down to Group D — we only ever had carts B and C come our way. And the only reason we knew what cart letter they were is because of where the server placed the stamps.
At any rate, day one was all dim sum, shared between the three of us. We grabbed a few soup dumplings, some shrimp shumai, sticky rice, fried shrimp balls and bbq pork buns.
You know… snacking.
Everything was very good. Our favorite, though, was the soup dumplings. Especially paired with the vinegar (not the normal white vinegar, and careful on the pour, it comes out quick!)
Our second time there, the hubs decided he wanted a noodle dish, so my cousin and I shared a handful of dim sum, hubby got ramen, and I got a fried noodle dish for us all to share.
The dim sum this time around was more of the same (since soup dumplings are delicious!) My husband liked his ramen, which was good because he wasn’t too thrilled with my cousin and me for suggesting this restaurant two days in a row. The fried noodles were excellent, with a great flavor to the sauce and a ton of fresh vegetables tossed in. Definitely enough to share, and to fill us up.
The servers we had on both days were friendly and efficient. The first one told us that dim sum is served starting at ten, so show up when the craving hits!

I had the udon noodle soup and a few dim sum dishes. The dim sum dishes were fresh and they constantly come around with the cart. A little pricey compared to regular dim sum but everything in Vegas is more expensive than the norm. The soup was also good but if I go again, I would just get the dim sum dishes.
There was no wait for dinner on a Saturday night around 7, but it did start getting busier as I was there. Great for a sit down dinner with food that arrives very quickly and is right in the middle of the shops between Bally’s and the Paris.

Great dim sum. Authentic dim sum dishes. Nice view of the boulevard in paris. Quick amazing service.
Pretty authentic tasting. A tad pricey but the atmosphere is great.
We parked near the boulevard in self parking and its less than a minute walk from there. Not on the strip but it has a great view of the shoppes on the boulevard of the paris hotel.
There was no wait for a table on sunday at lunch time. So this was a major perk. For a snack the dim sum was fantastic. We just needed a little bit to hold us over until our splurge of a dinner later that night.
Once seated we had a chance to check out the roving dim sum carts and although it didnt look authentic. Every dish we orderex tasted just like in hong kong. Light and crisp or tender and soft like its supposed to be. It also was very fresh.
We tried the shu mai which tasted great. The balance of shrimp and pork was perfect and was tender and soft. A must order again.
Next the deep fried dumplings. They were light and extremely crispy. So so good. I dont know how they do it but it was superb. It was served with a sweet and sour sauce which was unusual for me, as i was accustomed to the sweet mayo. But it actually complimented it quite well.
Lastly we had the chicken feet. These were made great too. Authentic. Tender and seasoned just right. Just like in hong kong. Another must order.
Everything tasted great and was even better than i expected. I would order all of these items again. It was perfect for a quick snack. At $ 6.88 each. It was a $ 20 snack for 2 that came with great viewing area, fast free wifi and a good place to rest for a bit.
Overall i loved this joint. The food was fresh. Seevice was top notch. We got all our food with minutes. And finished in maybe 15 minutes. Faster than any takeout or fast food place. With more comfort and privacy.
The service was outstanding. They literally lined up to serve us after seating. Water poured. Orders taken. Dim sum cart waiting. Lol. It was great. Ill be back. Highly recomendend!
My only vice was there was no hot sauce available even after asking. But at least they provided me with chopsticks and a bowl when prompted immeadietly.
