3.5. Review. Decent but not amazing, but got the job done…read more It's never a good idea to grocery shop on an empty stomach so we started our hmart trip at the food court. Wifey and I wanted Jjangmyeon but noticed they do a combo with a couple of other dishes. One is a spicy Korean seafood ramen (jjjambong) and the other is tangsuyuk, a batter fried meat in a sweet and sour sauce and veggies. The Jjangmyeon was fine, not the best but not awful. The jjambbong was really good, if you aren't a spicy person, then become one because you won't be able to handle it. The spice level is more medium than mild, but def not hot. The tangsuyuk wasn't very good.

On a Tuesday evening at 7 p.m., I decided to get a quick dinner before shopping at H-Mart. This…read moretime, however, was anything but quick. It took 25 minutes to prepare my order - quite unacceptable for a supermarket cafeteria hall. My order was also automatically put into a to-go container; usually, the cashier asks. The jjampong itself remains unchanged. The soup base had the distinct flavor of wok-sauteed vegetables (wok-hei / 鍋氣), contained enough seafood stock, and had a filling portion size. I can see where they cut costs - namely, using small shrimp (the sort normally used for pasta salads). The price has gone up considerably in the past year, from $12.99 to $15.95. Initially, my opinion of this place was that of a solid no-frills dining option next to a supermarket. Nothing special, but it got the job done quickly and affordably. Now, I just don't want to deal with them.

I have to say I was taken aback by my lunch at Gene's. It was a rainy day and I was craving soup,…read morebut also wanting to get some veggies in during lunch. I saw Gene's house noodle soup came with carrots and green beans and some other miscellaneous veggies along with the housemade broth, noodles and pork. Great. Placed an order for that along with a tea egg. The soup smelled incredible and came out piping hot--I absolutely hate it when my hot food comes out just warm so points for that. It had a tempting aroma of cumin, cinnamon, star anise and other spices I'm not sure I could identify. The pork was tender and abundant, and the half-spicy broth was enjoyable. But as I dug deeper, it started getting weirder. Under the meat and a scattering of cilantro I did find the hand-pulled noodles. And I also found vegetables: perfect cubes of carrot and potato, plus peas and green beans that looked like they'd started out either frozen or canned. The veggie medley was not bad, per se, but I did find it odd. More like what I'd put in a pot pie filling than a noodle soup. Meanwhile I wasn't expecting the smattering of cilantro, and there was no noticeable "egg skin" as described on the menu. The whole dish felt just kind of random, not intentional. It was enough to fill me, and the tea egg was fantastic, but I didn't feel like the soup held up to the rave reviews of other dishes or my expectations based on the menu description. Would I go back? Maybe but I'd order something different.

For a quick weekday meal (somewhere between lunch and dinner), I returned to Woojeon. This time, I…read moreordered the Soondaeguk (blood sausage stew, $15.99), received my number, waited 5 minutes, and receiving order. The stew itself was quite packed with offal and blood sausage, and even a few pieces of lung. It also arrived piping hot. The broth, however, proved underwhelming. While spicy, it lacked depth of flavor. The entree came with a bowl of rice, bean sprouts, kimchi, and roasted seaweed laver. I surprisingly liked the kimchi. It was savory and not too tangy. Consider it's a food court, I won't penalize the presentation or diminutive banchan size too much. However, the stock needs work.

Banchan is broth, kimchi, bean sprouts and roasted seaweed - the kimchi was pretty good, wished the bean sprouts had more flavor. I came around 4:30pm so there were plenty of tables available.

Every adventurous foodie should put Laos Thai Kitchen on their list!…read more If you're looking to branch out from the usual Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Indian cuisine, this is the place to do it. I can confidently say this is now one of my favorite restaurants in Las Vegas. It's only my second visit, but somehow it was even better than I remembered. This has officially become one of my regular spots, and it'll definitely be a restaurant I bring friends and family to whenever they're visiting. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and perfect whether you're grabbing a solo lunch, celebrating a birthday, or enjoying a meal with the family. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely worth the wait. Unlike many Asian restaurants where dishes seem to appear almost instantly, everything here is cooked to order. It took a little longer for our food to arrive, but that's because it was fresh and you could taste the difference. To be fair, we also ordered nine dishes, so the kitchen definitely had their hands full. One thing I really appreciated was that every single dish was delicious. It's rare to order that much food at one restaurant and not have a single disappointment. Here's what we ordered: - Chicken Larb - Spare Ribs - Lao Sausage (an absolute must order!) - Garlic Wings - Potstickers - Fried Squid - Fried Noodles - Beef Jerky - Sticky Rice It was an incredible spread, and every dish brought something different to the table. If you're going with a group, I highly recommend ordering family style so everyone can try a little bit of everything. Laos Thai Kitchen absolutely lived up to the hype. I can't wait to come back, explore more of the menu, and order another table full of food. 10/10, highly recommended!

And I am so glad we did! The menu carries a smaller variety than others in the area but the ones they do, they seem to make them well. We got the fried pompano and the crying Thaiger steak. The fried pompano came with a sauce that was so good that we asked for extra. It was spicy but not too much and thick and went perfectly with the fish. We even put some on the steak just cause and it went well with it. Ended up packing some sauce to bring home lol Plenty of street parking in the area so that's another plus. Lastly, the prices are very fair for this economy and this level of deliciousness. And the server is so funny and personable!

The restaurant was warm and inviting with comfortable booth seating options as well as tables to seat large groups. The staff was very friendly and gave us speedy service, which was great because we had to leave for our show. Between the two of us, we split a plate of Lo Mein, General Gao's chicken and Crab rangoons. They gave us large servings of each dish, we ended up with leftovers to go (which is always exciting). This is a great option if you are craving Chinese food in the Lexington area!

There are several tables inside, but it can get busy. Even though there might be a small wait for a table, people usually get seated within 10 min. The inside was what you can imagine of a mom and pop shop. The staff here was very nice and attentive. The food was the best part. I got the drunken noodles and it was seasoned well. I did ask for medium spice and it's a slow burn, so if you don't do spice well - get a mild spice and add additional sauces which are on the table. I can't wait to come back! The Thai tea is also perfectly balanced!

Lanxang Star Restaurant serves authentic Lao & Thai food and I've been wanting to try Lanxang Star…read moreRestaurant for a LONG time now but I don't frequent this area often anymore. I happened to be nearby today though & finally got to give their food a try! We were seated immediately upon entering the restaurant. Their menu has a lot of Thai & Lao food options. Here's what we ended up ordering: - Crab Rangoons - Laarb Seen/Lao Beef Salad - Kowpoon/ Laotian Curry Noodle Soup - Beef Pad See Ew - Thai Iced Tea The crab rangoons were delicious! I love crab rangoons, in general, BUT these tasted unique (in a good way!). They use real crab meat in their filling & you can definitely taste a difference. I can see why this is one of their most ordered appetizer! Next, we tried their beef laarb. This was also yummy & tasted fresh. It had a good amount of cucumbers, fresh herbs, and good cuts of beef! I'm used to having laarb with ground beef or ground meat & I preferred the style I had today! Came with fresh whole Thai chili peppers so we could adjust the spice level to our liking. Now on to the entrees! I had the kowpoon/Laotian curry noodle soup & I'll be honest... it was not what I was expecting. I went in thinking that it would be similar to the Thai curry noodle soup dish Khao Soi but it tasted much lighter. I personally didn't enjoy the noodles because they were kind of soggy/overcooked. I typically like al dente for all noodles & couldn't get myself to eat more than 3 bites. I ended up taking all the noodles out of the soup & put it to the side on a spare plate. Also, I've never had this dish before but there was little to no protein in this dish, just bits of shredded chicken that was mixed in with the noodles. It was essentially a coconut curry broth with some vermicelli noodles though. For the pad see ew, we really liked this dish! It had very good flavor & noodles were perfect. Overall, I enjoyed the food we tried today at Lanxang Star! Generous portion sizes, great prices. & everything was packed with flavor. Only thing that I wasn't a fan of was how the noodles were more cooked than I would've liked. I'm not sure if this is how the dish is intended to be served & enjoyed though. The soup broth was tasty still! Parking: lots of free parking available in the parking lot
