I asked our waiter if the portion size of chirashi was good and he said it's a good size and that they have carry out boxes if I don't finish. Tell me why this was the smallest chirashi I have ever seen anywhere. The slices of fish were thinner than the sliced ginger. If you stacked all of the slices, it would make a normal size of one piece of nigiri. The slice of tuna was so thin, you could see through it, much less taste it. I was still starving after and got the fried chicken nuggets which were a good portion, with good crunch. The sauce on the chicken was devoid of flavor except for the SALT. They were even able to take the chicken flavor away from the meat which is kind of an accomplishment in itself. My friend got the Sichuan pork dumplings and the dumplings were drowning in soy sauce so much so that you couldn't taste the Sichuan spice (if there was any). There's a sushi restaurant nearby that gives me food poisoning every time I eat there and I would have much rather have eaten there than Soba. I would definitely recommend this place to my enemies because they'll leave broke and still hungry.

Both delicious. The 17 ingredient salad is highly recommended and we could tell why. So refreshing and flavorful. It was fun finding all of the 17 ingredients. For our entrees I got the crispy shrimp and my boyfriend got the khao soi. Both left us craving more the whole drive home. Staff were so pleasant and happy to answer any questions. Beautiful restaurant, indoor and outdoor. I think next time we visit, we will have a later reservation outside to enjoy the greenery. Make a reservation at least a month in advance!! If not, there are some bar seats available but make sure to get there early.

Finally, I was determined and I booked out probably 2 1/2 months in advance.... And ended up going in the dead of winter. I know that I would've enjoyed my experience much more if we could've sat in the garden, that's probably an excellent vibe. I'm a spicy marg lover so I tried-new person same old mistakes-it didn't really strike me as spicy but more so smoky and I wanted spicy. We did the khao yum-it was unique, I think I would really have loved this. If it was hot out it seems like it would be very refreshing and light and more ideal for the spring and summer and like I said we went in the dead of winter. I did the beef tenderloin as my main and it was good, it wasn't too spicy, had a nice flavor, but I don't know that I would order it again. If it wasn't so hard to get a reservation, I would definitely come here more. I really liked the vibe and the aesthetic.

On a Wednesday in July, we visited the Novo Asian Food Hall for dinner after being in the Strip for…read morean event earlier in the evening. Novo Asian Food Hall is a collection of Asian food, drinks, and desserts in the Strip District, specifically located in the Terminal building. There are individual restaurants and businesses serving their specific cuisine. There is a bar in the center of the floor, a non-alcoholic drink place, a bakery, and several restaurants. At the time of this visit, there were 4 different food stands, 1 tea/drink stand, 1 bakery stand, and the bar area. There is not specific designated parking for the Food Hall, but there is paid parking all around the Terminal building. Additionally, there are other options for street and paid lot parking throughout the Strip. There are several entrances to Novo - from the Terminal side on Smallman Street, from the back side of the building, and also a side entrance if you are already in the Terminal. The Food Hall is very large, and is easily identified with the signage. We stopped in on this night a little before 8 PM, and it was not too crowded. There were patrons for the restaurants and at the bar, but there were still plenty of seats all around the place. There are high and low top tables all around the dining room, and there is even bar seating in the center. You can sit wherever you please, as it is open seating. There are water pitchers and cups placed near the trash cans that are available for use by anyone in the Hall. On this trip, we purchased food from KungFu Chicken and Tan Vac Lien 2. Everything we had was good! It is nice to be able to mix and match different foods from the various stands to create a meal. I like to try new items from the different stands each time I visit the Food Hall. However, I have found some favorites that I find myself going back to each time (Fishcake Corn Dog!) The prices throughout Novo vary depending on which stand you are at. Some items can be a little pricy, but overall I believe the pricing is fair. A plus of being able to get such a variety of items is that you can share with a group, which may help to keep the cost manageable. Novo has good hours, but not all the stands are always all open at the same time. So, I would double check the place you wish to go will be open during your visit. Overall, I really like Novo Asian Food Hall, both conceptually and in practice. This has been a fun addition to the Strip, and I have enjoyed getting to try lots of different foods and cuisine during my visits. My only critique/note is that I hope that the vacancy of one of the stands can be filled quickly to add even more options and variety. I would recommend stopping here if you are looking for authentic Asian cuisine with a fun, social atmosphere. I look forward to trying even more of the options here during my future visits!

Pan Asia Eatery is a casual restaurant that serves mostly Chinese foods as well as some Thai foods…read more The menu lists very typical foods such as wonton soup, spring rolls, general Tso's chicken, Hunan beef, pad thai, and lo mein. Prices are reasonable. My husband and I ate dinner inside the restaurant one time. The restaurant had nice décor and was clean. The staff members provided friendly and timely service. Here are my reviews for the foods: Teriyaki beef - 3 stars - My husband had ordered the teriyaki chicken, but the employee accidentally brought out beef instead. We did not mention the mistake, and we ate this beef. The beef could have been more tender and flavorful, but it was OK. Crabmeat rangoons - 4 stars - The exterior dough was nicely crispy. The filling contained much cream cheese. The sauce on the side was tasty. Orange chicken - 4.5 stars - This entrée was very large, so I had leftovers for the next day. The chunks of chicken contained juicy meat and were nicely battered and fried. Some fresh mushrooms and broccoli were included. Kung pao chicken - 4 stars - My husband ate this entrée. He said that it tasted good. It was also a large serving size and contained very fresh ingredients.

The food here is good, but never order catering. First, we were hosting a client. We had a strict…read morebusiness schedule and our food was delivered 30 minutes late! We scheduled this delivery days in advance! Second, we didn't receive plates with our catering order. We only discovered this after the delivery guy dropped off the food half-heartedly on the ground next to our serving table. So I called Silk Elephant and said we didn't get plates, but we got chop sticks and forks. The person in the background said, "They didn't ask for plates." No, you wanted to cut corners and save a few pennies by not providing plates. Or you forgot them. Or you were grossly negligent, late on your delivery, and cost one of your customers reputation with one of their customers. Either way, we didn't get an apology and the cashier clearly had no idea how to handle the situation. I will never eat at Silk Elephant again. And any business event that me or my colleagues host (for which we have ordered Silk Elephant a minimum of 3 times so far this year) will be catered by a different restaurant. I hope it was worth it.

I used to love Nicky's Thai Kitchen! And so when I went back to try it, I was incredibly…read moredisappointed. I think this place (the whole franchise) is a terrible establishment. They really milk every cent from you: if you don't buy food, you have to pay $10; if you split a dish, there's an upcharge; you must spend a minimum of $10; and a 22% gratuity is automatically added, regardless of party size. That being said, the service was actually terrible. I had 3 different waiters because none of them wanted to work, and the food came out at least 30 minutes late. The food is average, with smaller portions, and it is incredibly expensive. There's definitely better thai in the city! The one thing that they have going for them is the ambiance. It is a pretty vibe.

I probably should have ordered the chicken or shrimp green curry as I felt I needed a bit more protein but that is on me. I think I would have preferred the regular steamed rice instead of the coconut rice. The coconut rice had a firmer, stickier texture that, in my opinion, took away from the flavor of the curry. The waiter was very friendly and made the experience feel comfortable and welcoming and the inside looked clean and beautiful. Overall, I am always grateful for a good green curry and would definitely come back here.
