Before I begin, let me say that I live in Chinatown in Las Vegas. I believe I have some of the…read moreabsolute best in Chinese cuisine available to me 24 hours a day. I am aware I need to adjust expectations, and I am. Cantonese Gourmet East touts itself as a takeout restaurant, but it does have the ability to dine in. There were quite a few people parked in random areas out front, so I chose to park next door at a business that was closed. It was a very short walk to the restaurant. Upon arriving it smelled overwhelming of lemon cleaning product. It was extremely clean in the dining area, so I chose to eat there. The lacquered tables were really cute and depicted different flowers and animals appropriate to the setting. I approached the ordering window. It was a very simple hole in the wall that could slide shut behind plastic. I asked if there was tofu. No tofu, so I ordered the curry shrimp, which came with white rice and I ordered wonton soup. I returned to my padded diner chair. I was not offered a drink and I completely forgot to order one. I saw there was a soda machine in the dining area, but I didn't take advantage of that. I tipped up front when I paid and said I would be eating inside. After about a 10 minute wait, I heard someone yell to me from the window "Come get your order." I was given a paper plate, plastic fork and spoon, 2 napkins, a fortune cookie, a paper bag, a plastic container of shrimp curry wrapped in plastic wrap, a baggie of fried wontons, a plastic container of wonton soup wrapped in plastic wrap, 4 soy sauce packets, and a paper container of white rice. I unwrapped my meal at the table. I don't use soy sauce. It changes the flavor for me. I will use it while I'm cooking beef, but other than that I don't use it. Why is this significant? The food was bland. It was good. It just desperately needed seasoning. I sat and read Yelp reviews while I ate. I read that they don't use MSG in their food. That's super nice for people with allergies. They still needed a little bit of something to bring out the natural flavors. Salt would have worked great. Maybe that's not a thing? It definitely needed something though. I liked the wonton soup better than the curry shrimp. I asked for chopsticks and proceeded to pull all of the green peppers out of my container of curry shrimp. It filled my plate and took my huge curry portion down to something I could easily eat. I could have told them no peppers, but I love the essence they impart. I just don't enjoy eating them directly. I finished my onions and shrimp in a very dark yet mild curry. It was good. I wouldn't order it again. It came out extremely hot and my shrimp continued to cook in the sauce. I saw them get smaller and smaller in real time. The wonton soup was minimal carrots, some pea pods, onion, bok choy, and mostly wontons. I dumped in my baggie of fried wontons. This was good. I feel like it gave the soup more flavor. I normally will drink the broth. It didn't have a lot of flavor, so I just focused on the solid offerings. It was good. Would I get it again? I think so. It just didn't have the vibrant broccoli I'm used to. That's ok. I'm adjusting expectations and I'm clear on the fact that I'm spoiled. I finished and packed everything back into my paper bag. I asked the lady at the window if she wanted me to use the small trash can in the dining area. She told me to give my bag of trash to her. I had a couple bites of rice, but that's not really what I was interested in. She asked me if I wanted to take it home. I passed. Would I come back? Not for dine in. That was not a great experience. Time will tell.

Ordered Chinese for dinner because I was craving some orange chicken! I placed the order online and…read moreit was ready a few minutes before the estimated time--yay! (10 min as opposed to 15 min) The parking lot is small and sort of easy to miss as a note. It is also very small inside too but it looks like most people just order take out, as I did. I ordered the orange chicken dinner with chicken fried rice that comes with an eggroll (I did the chicken egg roll) and a vegetable spring roll (comes in 2). The orange chicken was good but I've definitely had better orange chicken from other competitors. I can't place my finger on it but this orange chicken sauce was a little more tangy and sweet than what I'm normally used too--was still good though. No complaints with the egg roll, and I really enjoyed the vegetable spring roll as it was very crispy. All in all I would go back to try other choices on the menu but I don't think I'll order the orange chicken again anytime soon.

My new favorite Chinese restaurant…read more I can't believe I never stopped in here until this summer. Obviously, I've been missing out on some of the best Chinese food in the area until a few months ago and I have no idea why. Seriously, I've driven past this location a hundred times before and never once noticed what is arguably the best Chinese restaurant in town until recently. Boy, was I missing out! It is located in a relatively nondescript-looking strip mall, which I guess is why I simply never noticed it before. Stupid me for not knowing about this place before now. The egg drop soup was outstanding, possibly the best of its type that I've had anywhere. The texture, flavor and seasoning were all perfect, the way everything should be. Service was fantastic. The girl that waited on us was also the seating hostess. She seemed to know the menu backward and forward, much like the back of her hand. She knew what she was talking about, including potential accommodations to specific dishes, how everything was cooked, etc. She was a real help navigating the menu for both my husband and myself. On the menu, I noticed that they had more than a few vegetarian options from which to choose, so I was pleased. I ordered the stir fried assorted vegetables. It was delicious, well-seasoned with fresh veggies and some of the best rice I've ever had in a Chinese restaurant. My dish was not too salty, nor under seasoned and the rice wasn't super greasy and my vegetables were sauteed perfectly, not swathed in oil or bland. I appreciated the variety of vegetables in my dish, the seasoning and the texture of the rice. They don't serve spring rolls here (bummer), the vegetarian alternative to egg rolls, which contain shrimp, so our waitress charged only for the luncheon size, even though it was well past lunch (it was after 6 p.m.) and the order was the same size as the dinner portion, just sans the egg roll. I appreciated that. It was super cheap, too, but then again, both the lunch and dinner menu options are both really affordable here. I wish they served spring rolls, but that isn't a deal breaker or anything like that. My husband loved his dish. He ordered the Orange Chicken. He kept raving about great the rice and chicken were, how fresh it was and how the seasoning was "on the money." He especially loved the wonton soup. He said it was the best he's had in ages, too. Both of us enjoyed the hot tea as well (so good). The portions of both dishes were healthy-sized and affordably priced, not to mention were the best tasting Chinese food we've had in awhile. It was easily one of the restaurant experiences we've had this summer. Next time, I'll probably try the vegetarian Egg Foo Young. It sounded great and the waitress talked it up, saying it was one of her favorite dishes. For Cantonese, I'd say it's a slam dunk. I'll be coming here from now on. It's easy to see now why this restaurant has such high ratings.

My husband and I were introduced to Lam's Pearl City by my sister-in-law, a few years ago. While…read morethis is a full-service restaurant, we always did take-out, which was conducted via a walk-up window in a small vestibule. I'm guessing this was implemented during the COVID shutdown, and they just kept the practice. A little impersonal, but our focus was on the food. For the most part, the food was good, though some things were hit-or-miss - particularly their fried shrimp, which was very doughy, and sometimes the fried rice would have too much soy sauce. My husband and I slowed down on our restaurant visits, so it had been maybe 6 months since we visited Lam's Pearl City. Since we were on that side of town, we decided to visit. What a surprise! The walk-up window is gone and we had to go inside to place our order. We found it funny that it was our first time in the restaurant! It turns out Lam's Pearl City is under new ownership, who got rid of the window because he wanted to know his customers. That really touched me to see an owner caring about his customers. The food is still tasty and our fried rice was the perfect shade of brown. The owner's interest in knowing his customers- along with the food - makes me rate Lam's Pearl City 4 stars. We forgot to take pictures of our food, but here are a couple of pictures of the restaurant interior.
