Orange chicken and fried rice
Jennifer S.

Staff are very friendly and offer great suggestions, service is quick even when busy, and the food was good for what we were looking for. I had the orange chicken and was wishing it had a little more sauce and depth of flavor, however it was crispy tasty chicken. If we are in the GSR and looking for a quick bite this is a casual spot we would revisit

Korean short ribs
Christine Y.

Came here with friends on a Saturday evening and it was pretty busy. Made a reservation beforehand so there wasn't a long wait to get seated. I never realized that they had the extra dining space in the center of the restaurant strip specifically for Rim. We were seated in the enclosed portion directly across from the Buffet. It had a nice decor to it with dimmed lighting but because it was enclosed, it was super noisy once it was packed with diners. A little difficult to enjoy conversations over a meal. Our server was great when it came to recommendations, friendliness, and taking our order. We ordered mojitos and a lychee lemon drop which were really good. They were delivered to our table right away but food took at least half an hour to arrive. My friends ordered sushi and green curry while I tried their Korean short ribs. We all enjoyed the food. The short ribs tasted pretty good, just not quite the same flavors as other Korean short ribs I've had elsewhere.

Celebrating Chinese New Year with my son and took advantage of the CNY menu and was very happy and satisfied. My son also ordered lobster fried rice and some sushi which both were delicious. It's been awhile since I've eaten here and I am impressed with the menu. Granted it has been about 7 years since the last time eating here for the only reason being there are other great restaurants here that compete. I loved the long life noodles and really loved the sea bass. Nicely spiced with scallions and ginger. Service was very fast. They were very busy on a Saturday night. We ate in the annexed area and it was pleasantly quieter.

Kung pao three delight
Emerald S.

My group decided to eat here since it's inside of GSR which an event we were going to was hosting so for ease of planning we made a reservation for this place. The main restaurant is tucked in a corner so there's not a lot of tables which is why they opened another section, across the way to accommodate bigger groups like mine. The restaurant itself was fine, decorated nicely and service was ok. I didn't think it was a crazy night but we didn't get checked on often which led us to not having any refilled water. The food wasn't great, I hate to say it. Seemed to be overpriced for what we got. The quality and taste was mid but the portions are generous. So don't set your expectations too high and I think you'll be fine. Also don't be fooled into upgrading your rice to fried rice. Multiple people in our group did upgrade and we had to share a small plate of fried rice. As opposed to keeping the steam rice where we each had our own portion. So overall thoughts, come here but know you're not getting stellar food and you're going to pay a premium for having the restaurant being conveniently located but it's nothing to rave about unfortunately.

Miso soup?
Brittany G.

I've tried this place several times and it just doesn't hit. Sushi is ok. Just ok, especially for the almost $50 AYCE price tag (which is only available at the sushi bar). Service is hard to come by. You'll have to wait 15-20 minutes for a drink refill. The lighting is also very dim. The item portions and quality are very different than most traditional sushi spots. Their miso soup for instance is HUGE. It's basically in a ramen bowl and lacks miso flavor. The sushi is very bland. Skip on the sashimi and raw fish. It's not fresh.The hand rolls are the only things worth eating. Salmon skin and spicy scallop ones are good. Come here at your own risk!

So we have been here before, and they put us in some room away from the restaurant...and the food was just OK. We were here for a Saturday comp, and decided we would give this one more try...I am glad we did this. This time they put us in the main restaurant, and it was so much better! We ordered two big Sapporos to start...I thought these were fairly priced...we were not terribly hungry so we split an order of beef chow fun and asked for it spicy. This was very good and plenty of food for us. I thought the beef was plentiful and the dish was very tasty. Our server was very good and seemed to not be bothered by our small order, especially on a Saturday night.

Kung Pao Chicken & Green Beans with Beef
Chris S.

Rim has been a staple in GSR for as long as I can remember though it's a struggle to understand why if the experience is consist with my own. Best aspect is that it's fairly well decorated, it's a clean aesthetic with a little Asian inspired flair. Unfortunately service can only be described as waiting. Every step of the dining process was more waiting than it was enjoying food or receiving menus/checks. I think it took about 2 hours to make it through a quick app and entree meal. Food was equally disappointing with the Kung Pao Chicken lacking any semblance of pow and hardly distinguishable from just corn syrup in taste and consistency. Shockingly the green beans were cooked excellently with a satisfying crunch but was accompanied with very gray beef. Overall it was too long and too much for too little experience.

Ube white chocolate cheese cake
Preet P.

This was our first time here with a group of four adults and two children (ages 10 and 7). The restaurant was very crowded on a weekend night, but we were able to get a reservation for 8 PM. Our table wasn't ready right away, and we were offered seats at the sushi bar, which we declined, so we waited a bit. I'm not a huge sushi fan compared to the rest of our group, so we didn't go for the unlimited sushi option--but it was absolutely worth it! We ordered a variety of dishes: the sashimi was fresh, the desserts were delicious ( Ube white chocolate cheese cake and mochi ice cream), and the service was top-notch. I even tried several sushi rolls though I forgot some of the names, and ended up liking them too. I added lots of pictures to capture everything. Overall, everything was great, and we had a wonderful experience.

Ube White Chocolate cheesecake
Sharan G.

Food was Ok, not very exciting compared to the price. Service was fast but they missed bringing ginger and small bowls for mixing soy sauce and wasabi. We received our sushi plates and wondered if they donot serve it. When we asked the server apologized and brought it. Good thing about ordering Mochi ice cream is that you get multiple flavors- mango, strawberry and chocolate. They were out of coconut chocolate parfait so we ordered Ube white Chocolate cheesecake. It was alright. Ambiance was good with dim light and beautiful light pendants hanging from the ceiling. This place is good for eating sushi, if either you are staying at GSR or at the casino and do not want to drive up to a different location for food.

I usually do not patronize the venues on Restaurant Row at GSR however the other evening, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun and I was not disappointed, it was rather good. The Asian ambience was very well done and inviting and my server Clayton was great.

Rim Fried Rice** 4/25:26
Emily A.

Given the reviews I didn't expect much.... However I was very surprised at how good my Rim fried rice was and the price was very fair (24$) for not only a casino but the portion was shareable. The pork was a tad bit fatty and sweet but I loved the shrimp. I was with three girlfriends that preferred sushi and they ordered four rolls all of which they enjoyed. Golden gate, snow mountain, lion king, and mango tango. One sake which my friend said was just fine and one raspMary martini which I tried It wasn't bad. I saw them making some good looking virgin Mojitos with lavender in them. I wish I would have tried one. We sat at the bar outside the restaurant so no notes for inside. The two girls working in the Bar handled it well for as busy as it was for a country concert weekend and a volleyball tournament weekend. Food came out pretty fast. Locals discount. Gluten free items clearly marked (so helpful!!) I hope the rice tastes the same because I will be back for that.

We tried the pad thai rolls and crispy combo for appetizers. The peanut sauce with the pad thai rolls is a must try. Savory but funky in a good way.

I got invited to lunch at this Thai Lotus place in Reno the other day, so I made the drive down. I got there right at 11am opening to meet friends. It's very nice inside, the servers all wear these funny digital lighted tags. I couldn't even read what they said though. These friends all wanted to get the lunch specials. I'm used to sharing Thai food family style, but I guess if you aren't with people you know well enough to share food, then everybody gets their own Thai dish. The lunch specials were all priced around $13 and more if you wanted seafood, like shrimp. I got the Pad Thai with chicken, something safe, as it's my first time here. The lunch came with an egg roll kinda thing, salad, soup and rice along with the entree. Serving rice with a noodle dish didn't make much sense to me, but whatever. The salad was served with a peanut kind of dressing, it was OK. The egg roll thing was a little greasy, but that's an egg roll for ya. The Pad Thai was served in a bowl. The bowl I found, actually keeps the dish hot longer than serving on a flat plate. Good idea! There were lots of peanuts and served with a lime to squeeze on the noodles. I'm glad there weren't a lot of bean sprouts in the dish. I don't like bean sprouts much, but some like them for texture. The sauce was plentiful, almost too much, but good tasting. You added the chili flakes for your own spice level. I liked this version of the popular Pad Thai dish here at Thai Lotus and I thought the lunch special was a good value, with prices these days.

We ordered the Vermicelli with Grilled Chicken, Dry Fried Beef Chow Fun, and Gai Lan with Beef. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. With "Hong Kong Diner" in the name, I was expecting authentic Cantonese stir-fries with good wok hei. Unfortunately, the Dry Fried Beef Chow Fun lacked that signature smoky flavor, and the texture was closer to lo fun than traditional chow fun. The Gai Lan with Beef also lacked wok hei. The outer layer of the gai lan stems had been peeled away, so the stems lost the crisp texture that makes gai lan so enjoyable. The Vermicelli with Grilled Chicken was overly tender and quite salty. It seemed to be marinated so heavily that I couldn't really taste the natural flavor of the chicken. Overall, the restaurant offers generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service. I just wish the Cantonese dishes had delivered the wok hei I was expecting from a place with "Hong Kong Diner" in its name. :)

Disappointing Experience and Unexpected Charges…read more We visited this Vietnamese restaurant during our trip to 205 West 5th Street, Reno, NV 89503 . It was recommended by our tour guide, and since we were unfamiliar with the area, we followed the recommendation. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant's interior was quite old and dated. We also noticed flies flying around inside the dining area, which was unpleasant. The food also took about 15-20 minutes to arrive, even though we only ordered three bowls of Vietnamese noodles. The biggest disappointment came when we received the bill. The three noodle dishes were $15.95, $16.50, and $16.50, for a food subtotal of $48.95. We were then charged an $8.81 Service Fee. On top of that, an 18% tip of $10.40 was suggested, calculated after the Service Fee had already been added. With $4.05 in tax, the final total came to $72.21. In other words, the food itself was $48.95, while the Service Fee, tip, and tax added another $23.26, which was about 32% of the final bill. I understand that restaurants have operating costs and that tipping is common in the U.S. However, I personally find it difficult to understand why customers are charged a Service Fee and then encouraged to leave an additional 18% tip calculated on top of that fee. This review is not about the food price itself. My main concern is the overall experience and the lack of transparency regarding the additional charges. For tourists visiting Reno, NV 89503 area, I recommend checking the menu carefully and asking about any additional Service Fees before ordering.

It's huge, largely empty, and quiet, perfect for a contemplative experience with your food. At dinnertime on a Friday my nearest neighbors were twenty feet away kneeling at a Japanese-style low table. I got to vibe in the quiet background music and the distant Friday night sounds of downtown. I tried the pork ramen, which felt a bit Americanized (kale, corn, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, half a ramen egg, and spicy ground meat in what appears to be a vegetable broth), but had surprising heat build-up as I ate and a pleasant aftertaste. The real highlight was the tea service. I ordered some red chai, which was served with a small teapot to table-steep it in; a carafe of hot water; and a tea box to pour out the first wash into. The server walked me through the process and the tea was fantastic, with a marvelous spice balance. Next time I think I'll try the poke bowl the other reviewers have enjoyed.

It's always been minimal yet warm, but something felt off this time and the one before. The usual calming video of California waves was missing, replaced with a blank wall and '50s oldies music that completely clashed with the vibe. It felt disconnected from what usually made this place so special. **FOOD & DRINK** Ramen: Severely under-seasoned and watery. What used to be a flavorful, hearty bowl now feels lackluster and uninspired. Wakame Salad: The portion was noticeably smaller--20-30% less than usual. Not what I've come to expect from this place. PRICE: $$ I've always been willing to pay premium pricing for the quality, atmosphere, and service, but this time, it just didn't deliver. **SWAG/AMENITIES** - Cozy and unique decor (still a plus) - Menu variety for tea and ramen lovers - Used to have a calming atmosphere (not this time) **STAFF & EXPERIENCE** This is where things really fell apart. The service was slow from the start--30 minutes for drinks, 40+ minutes for ramen. The servers were dry, unpersonable, and barely engaged with us. They didn't introduce themselves or try to make any connection. It's hard not to miss Jenna, who was always warm, kind, and inviting. She had a way of making the experience unforgettable, and maybe even made the food taste better! **FINAL THOUGHTS** Mantra Tea House used to be my favorite spot in town. I came here regularly, twice a month, and never thought I'd feel this let down. The food, service, and atmosphere have all taken a dive, and it's just not the same place I fell in love with. Sadly, I think this was my last visit.
