K Mart by Mama Chai's is a great convenience store located near UNLV. You'll find them on the…read morecorner of Tropicana and Wilbur. There's no street parking available, but you can park at the University Plaza, and it's a short 5-minute walk.
Grand opening was on August 22, 2026.
Inside is a clean and organized store fully stocked with snacks, frozen food, drinks, skincare, and good music playing in background.
There's a Mama Chai's counter inside K Mart to purchase drinks, but they don't have mochi donuts anymore since the original Chinatown shop had permanently closed on August 30, 2026.
Mama Chai's drink selection includes espresso, seasonal, matcha, brewed to order milk teas, 24 hr cold brewed teas, blended and specialty drinks.
I ordered Berries & Cheese ($7.75) it's a blended drink, and I opted for no berry syrup. It has fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries blended into a slight sweet cheese cream. Vee did a great job making my drink, it's berry fruity delicious!
I also purchased snacks and got Orion Turtle Chips with Mexican Street Corn flavor ($4.79). These chips are light, airy, puffy, crunchy and very tasty, it went well with the Berry & Cheese drink.
The Otoki Cheesy Ramen Cheddar ($4.49) was good too! I purchased it with toppings for mozzarella cheese (+$1.50), green onions (+$0.75), and sausage (+$1).
Keilah is so nice and showed me how to use the ramen machine. It's only meant for the packaged ramen and not the instant noodle cups. There's a specific bowl used for the ramen machine.
I added sausage with the noodles in the bowl to cook together, and selected the stir fried option so it pours less water. While the water boils, the message prompts when to stir the noodles, and there are chopsticks nearby to use.
Once the noodles were cooked, I add in the packet seasoning, and mixed it well with mozzarella cheese and green onions. Cheesy ramen is very filling and tasty!
Service from security Rahim, Vee, Keilah, and Jesus is very kind, welcoming, and friendly!
