Sesame ball

I decided to try this place after seeing a local blogger post about it on social media. It's a Hawaiian Chinese restaurant that's probably best for takeout or catering. The portions are huge, especially the manapua (Hawaiian-style BBQ pork bun) and their other dim sum items. I didn't get a chance to try any of the entrées, but the restaurant appears to be family-owned, so be prepared to wait a bit during busy times. From what I observed, the dining area could use a little more attention--the floors, window sills, and tables had some food particles and sticky residue. However, I wouldn't let that discourage you from giving it a try. The atmosphere reminded me of some of the casual, no-frills local restaurants I've visited in Hawaii, where the focus is on serving comforting food rather than creating a polished dining experience. It's definitely a laid-back spot with an authentic local feel, and if you're looking for generous portions of Hawaiian Chinese favorites, it's worth checking out.

Crispy Gau Gee
Lydia S.

The young man at the counter was friendly and helpful, even though he was terribly busy. The store is small with just enough seating for people who are waiting for their to go orders. The crispy Gau Gee was really good. Big portions and a great price. But I wouldn't order the eggplant with tofu again (the tofu tasted stale). And the chow fun was okay but not worth it on its own. It was rather salty. I came between lunch and dinner at 3:30 and it was still busy. They had already sold out of rice cake.

Pork shumai
Regina B.

I have been seeing this place online and finally had the courage to try it out lol it's definitely a hole in a wall in China town, parking lot kinda sucks and upon entering already notice the cleanliness of the place which is none existent and there is a little bit of a funky smell in there. Anyways we ordered 6 pork shumai and 1 chasu pork bun (Manapua) and omg the size of that shumai was crazy and same w the pork bun,spent about $13 something and the weight of the bag insane. Shumai not bad at all it's like $1.69 a piece I believe is it the best no but it's not bad at all specially for the huge portion. The bbq pork bun is huge and it's really good and flavorful as well, like the sauce that came with the shumai. Service well it's an old lady and I think 1 person running the kitchen so don't expect much. We will come back again and try other stuff for sure.

Salted fish and chicken fried rice

I came here because of all the rave reviews on social media. I was super excited to get my pork hash and crispy gau gee. I heard it tasted like back home. When I walked in, the lady behind the counter said hello and disappeared in the back for about 7 minutes. I stood there and wondered if I should stay or wait. She eventually came back out and took my order, then disappeared again. I sat there for about 30 minutes, watching other people come in and just stand there. The lady finally came out and brought out one box. She placed it on the counter then disappeared in the back again. After an additional 10 mins, she came out with the second box and told me my items were ready. Finally! Here's my overall take. First, the store is small and definitely needs the floors mopped. Be prepared to be there a long time. It's not a quick stop in and go store. The pork hash is big and was good, same for the crispy gau gee. Finally, it does taste like what we would get back home in Hawaii and unfortunately for us over here in the mainland, we do get our food in Hawaiian time. lol

Rice cake- Just like home

Cashier was super nice, Onto the food... Hong Kong noodles are bland Crispy Gau Gee salty Sweet Sour Chicken also bland BBQ pork tastes like chinese 5 spice The hype for this place is over hype, dont do it!

Beef chow fun & beef and green beans were awesome! The tastiness and amount of food was worth the wait.
Debbie M.

The beef chow fun & beef and green beans were amazing! The salt & pepper shrimp was good too but lost its crunchiness in the drive.

Chase A.

Food was good! Parking is pretty tight so I'd recommend calling in before pickup. Was surprised to see how big the Manapua was but easily shareable. Will be back for sure!

It was first time here and we ordered some crispy gaugee, pork hash and some rice cake. Damn. They were all good. Reminds me of Hawaii. We will be back for more!!

And a small thing of fried rice come on why are they trying to be so cheap?
Alicia R.

So this was my first time going to Rice to go I thought okay I'm going to try the orange chicken even though it says served with steamed rice I asked for fried rice cuz I like fried rice more. I figured if this place was called rice to go then you would get more rice than you would meat. Nope that's not the situation here. I'm happy that I got a large my chicken bells hoping to get a large amount of rice as well. I paid $22 for the orange chicken and I asked for fried rice with it. Here's the thing if I'm going to be paying $22 I want more than just a thing of chicken I also want a lot of rice. To me this is a rip off. I'm definitely not coming back here again and the parking is impossible let's just say that. I had to park next door at the chicken place and walk over just to go get food. It looked trashy inside and there was food left out in the counter which I thought was very unattractive. And the whole place just looked like it was a trash joint. I'm definitely not going to come back and If I'm paying 22 bucks I need more rice than a small thing of it. I will say though the orange chicken is really good and sweet. But if I want to pay $22 then I want a large amount of fried rice with the chicken at an even amount. Don't come here if you're just trying to get a meal for yourself and somebody else. Honestly I would rather go to like a different place than this one. The only reason why they get a two star is because of the price and the ambiance. The customer service was okay I wouldn't say it was the greatest even though I told her it was my first time I figured that would give her the clue of hey this is what I would recommend and things like that you know talk about the place because it's my first time and I'm trying new places since I moved to the area. Sorry but this is a no-go for me.

My wife's coworker from Hawaii recommended this eatery for dim sum and pork hash and half moons. Service was good he answered all of our questions. The eatery is a small hole in the wall place with really only two useable tables. They are about as clean as your average Chinese kitchen. For those of us who grew up on Chinese cuisine from Hawaii. This cantonese eatery hits the spot. They will have you reminiscing about eating Chinese food back in Hawaii.

Manapua - BBQ Pork Bun
Johnny Q.

Rice To-Go is one of those spots where the food speaks loud, just be ready to wait a bit. I ordered: * 12 shumai (pork hash) * 12 fried won ton * BBQ pork bao (manapua) * House fried rice Everything is made to order, so they steam and fry on the spot. Service was great, but expect a wait, especially on larger orders. Smaller orders seemed to move quicker. Portion size caught me off guard. Everything felt oversized, way bigger than expected. Highlights: * The manapua stood out. Slightly sweet, with a light crisp on the bun that adds a nice twist from the usual soft steamed version * Shumai and won tons were solid, and the portions make it feel worth it Fried rice: * Good amount of meat * Light on shrimp * Needed more flavor overall The space is small. Only a few tables, so it's not really a dine-in spot. That lines up with the name. Plan for takeout. The place isn't dirty, but it does feel a bit cluttered. Entry area had boxes and some employee items on tables. Easy fixes that would improve the first impression. I've owned a restaurant, so I notice details like that, but it wouldn't stop me from coming back. Overall: Strong food, big portions, good service. Just needs a little cleanup and better organization up front. A better menu displayed with prices would've been great. Solid 4 out of 5. Easily a 5 with a few small improvements.

I come here for the rice cakes - prolly the closest ill get to the hawaii made rice cakes. Seems to be family owned & ran so im happy to be able to support small business! Young gentleman at front was very nice. I only got rice cakes & 1 pork hash. Rice cake is good and soft, could be a little sweeter however it is good. Pork hash was very tasty and a good sized portion! Lots of meat and very tasty! Ill be back to try some of their entrees!

Anyone here wwho knows if it's possible to jut order 4 or 5 pieces of shumai?and how much is it?TIA

I've seen some posts of 4 pieces of shumai so I'm thinking you can order just a few.

How much is the pork shumai and what is the minimum order for a single person?

There's no minimum order and its $1.35 per piece. Best shu Mai in Vegas!

China Mama on Spring Mountain was an absolute jewel of a discovery!…read moreThis was our first visit while searching for a great Chinese restaurant here in Las Vegas, and we were extremely impressed. The menu is very reasonably priced, with generous selections and excellent value. We ordered the crispy beef, and it was absolutely fantastic--crispy, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The hot and sour soup was beyond belief, packed with flavor and easily one of the highlights of our meal. We also shared the vegetable fried rice, which was amazing. My wife normally doesn't enjoy Chinese food nearly as much as I do, but even she couldn't stop raving about how delicious the fried rice was. That alone says a lot! Overall, we had a wonderful experience: excellent food, affordable prices, a great neighborhood Chinatown atmosphere, and fantastic service. For anyone in Las Vegas who loves great Chinese food, I would absolutely recommend giving China Mama a try before looking elsewhere. Thank you to the entire team. We will definitely be back!

This is a nicely decorated Chinese restaurant with a bustling crowd and loud music. Seated…read moreimmediately, with lots of locals around woldind down big bowls of soup, we had high hopes based on the reviews. Our hopes were dashed when we discovered this is an over-hyped over-priced place that charges $1.50 extra for a skimpy single little bowl of white rice with their entrees. Server was very disinterested and not conversational, all business and rushed. A different server helped us each time, none more pleasant than the first. They are very busy and take no time for social niceties. We elected not to order drinks although they do have sake. Entree choices were Kung Pao Chicken ($18) and Stir fried Green beans ($16) add chicken ($5). The Kung Pao Chicken was acceptable, a traditional preparation but with very few veggies. The sauce was a bit sweet and appropriately spicy. The stir fried green beans were dry and bland with zero sauce. The sauteed chicken was cut in tiny pieces and over browned and dry like the green beans. I order this dish frequently in other Chinese restaurants, and find most chefs put a little sauce on at the end for flavor and texture. That is not the case here. Bland, naked and dry. So disappointing , we drove twenty minutes to try this place based on the reviews. Writing today to warn others all is not as it seems. Maybe you will have better luck than we did at China Mama on Jones.

Food, Service, Ambiance: 5 Stars!!…read more We love their eggplant in claypot, guo bao, ginger & scallion fish filet, sizzling rice soup, and sea bass dish! So good Highly recommend!

Now just a regular, mediocre Chinese restaurant…read more When it first opened, it was all about the authentic Peking Duck and it was amazing. We thought we finally found our Peking Duck place. We had to pre order the duck sometimes to make sure we got one. Over time, I noticed the menu changes and now, the standalone whole Peking Duck (which comes with soup and either Duck fried rice or deep fried duck bones) was de-emphasized. Now, it's not even on the menu anymore (but you can still order it). However, the staff is no longer trained to carve the duck. They carve it so that half the skin and meat are left on the bone. The slices are presented in a flower-shaped circle, looks great, but the amount of sliced duck with skin is now 1/2 of what we used to get. It doesn't even fill a plate. The slicing is also thick and uneven. Worst, because the staff is not skilled, they don't know how to slice off just the crispy skin. So we got a whole Peking Duck with no pieces of just duck skin, that's the main attraction! The duck soup was seasoned with some kind of strong jalapeno pepper (not Chinese flavor), there were no duck bone or meat in it and flavor was not balanced. We also ordered the stirfry wood ear mushrooms with peas and yam. It was absolutely flavorless, there were like 6 pieces of mushroom and the yams were cut so haphazardly and unevenly sized, like a kid chopped it up. I noticed most of the the diners are not Asian and popular items are fried rice and what looks like either sweet and sour pork or orange chicken. Add to that, the service was equally haphazard. Restaurant had 4-5 tables seated but our waitress said the kitchen was busy and our food would be delayed. Then, they completely forgot about one of our dishes. Just so disappointed. For us, this is the last time, we will not be back.

While staying in Vegas I sought out some authentic Szechuan and selected this from all the options…read morethat came up. From looking at the reviews and menus of many places, this seemed to be the most authentic, then when I walked in, saw the sites, smelled the smells, and saw the others dining inside, I knew I selected the right place. The guy working was helpful and gave good info on the menu and ingredients they use in various dishes, which was great. We started with their garlic cucumbers and they were fantastic! Such great flavor, really fresh, and sooo tasty!! We then got their Sautéed cabbage with dry chili pepper - This dish was outstanding! Such great flavor and the cabbage leaves were so fresh. Highly recommend this one!! Lastly, I tried their Chicken with Red and Green Pepper, because our server said it was really spicy. It was definitely spicy, but lacked depth of flavor, which was disappointing, as I was undecided between this and their chili oil beef.... Guess I should've gotten the beef. I wish they would have had some cumin options, but not the toothpick cumin lamb, not sure what that's all about, because I don't want each bite to have to be slid off a toothpick. Overall - very nice Szechuan style food here... If you want a good, authentic Chinese experience, come here!
