    soup dumplings
    Raymond L.

    First of all a huge gripe, they have no physical menu, orders can only be done through their scan code which is opened on your phone, this poses a huge difficulty for anyone that does not have a smartphone, huge faux par. Being unaccustomed to using the phone made it quite difficult for me to order, once I got the hang of it, it was a little easier. The order is sent directly to the kitchen but if there's any deviation like the pork belly noodles which comes with sesame seeds sprinkled on top which I have let them know to leave out, you still wave down a wait staff to let the kitchen staff to not add. Kinda defeats the purpose of not being able to give the order to a wait staff. The soup dumplings are great and something I haven't experienced, super yum. The other dumplings my friend ordered were equally yummy and very very juicy, the proof is on my hands. Now the pork belly, OMG, this was the yummiest pork belly I've had in a long, long, long time, The trip here for the pork belly is worth it alone. it's the noodles were no slouch either, they were equally yummy. My biggest mistake was ordering the dish spicy. It was spicy but deliciously spicy. At least I'll know to order it plain the next time. The pork belly is a must order item hands down. Oh yeah for the people that make a big deal out of the ambiance, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, big whoop.

    We came in on accident, so we weren't expecting much. So with that, we were pleasantly surprised, having no expectations. We had the pork dumplings, combination chow mein & the combo fried rice. It's a relatively new restaurant with a pretty cool vibe inside, the decor was old school meets new school Chinese. I do like the fact they are open late until about 2AM. Lots of parking outside, it's next door to an Asian grocery store. We were greeted and seated quickly and you order via QR coded menu - so service is mainly to maybe refill your water and just physically paying the bill. Will probably be back during those late hours, would recommend to family and friends. We did like the noodles and dumplings here, delish & filling!

    Got to Vegas and we were hungry so I decided to try a new place. I found this place and looked like had good reviews so we came here for lunch. Should have checked the price before coming but oh well, thats my fault. Nice pretty restaurant with friendly staff. I hate when I have to go online to look at menu and have to order via online. Ordered spicy beef noodle soup with thick noodle. Also ordered golden palace chicken (which I guess it's orange chicken/ginger and garlic sauce). First problem is that this basically orange chicken dish with ginger was $21.99, it did not come with rice. So why is it that you come to a Chinese restaurant, order Chinese food and it does not even come with rice. Ordered rice and it was freaking extra $3. My noodle dish came out first, flavor was pretty good with small kick. Noodles were firm and some what chewy and meat was tender. This dish was not too bad., except broth was little bit on the border like luke warm. Almost half way to my dish chicken dish came out. I was pretty surprised to taste the chicken and have them soggy. I expected crispy fried chicken drenched in sauce. The flavor I initially was not bad but after few bites, I could not get passed the weird after taste. The sauce was mixed between orange chicken with added ginger and garlic. Very disappointing specially how much it cost. And not to mention my $3 bowl of rice. Over all service was pretty good but for me food taste and quality was definitely not worth the cost. Would not be coming here again.

    I think this is a solid spot for chinese food but there were just a few issues with our experience. First of all, the food came out pretty slow to the point er had to ask the waiter to check on our order. The food was good, such as the pork belly rice and the soup dumplings but the pork was a little dry and the soup dumplings wrapper was too thick and soft . Love the ambiance though, I really like the wallpaper in the back.

    I tried Special Noodle for the first time and I thought it was solid. It was surprisingly big and I did like the decor. The wallpaper was cool. The booths were cool. They even had fish tanks. I was craving mapo tofu and it was the only place still serving it around 10 PM. I planned on just getting that, but since it was my first time, I had to try a few things.. The food was solid. Nothing was a standout or better than other places that serve similar dishes. We got some soup dumplings, the wok stir fried green beans, the spicy wontons, and chili oil and then of course the mapo tofu. I would say all the food was above average. Nothing was a miss. I really enjoyed the soup dumplings which had a thicker rapper, but not in a bad way. They maintained their shape without ripping when grabbing them with chopsticks which I appreciated. I also liked the flavor of the broth and the texture of the meat and the flavor. The green beans were good but lacked flavor, the spicy wontons were really flavorful, and the mapo tofu was good. I thought the tofu could've had more flavor and the rice was a little dry for my liking. One thing I have a little feedback on is service. Not really a bad service thing but more the system the restaurant operates for the servers. You get seated and then order from the QR code link, they drop off food, and then you request the check with the website link as well. It felt odd putting a 20% tip for this type of service. I always tip 20% minimum for dine in but this time it just felt odd. It was more like counter service. I think these servers working incredibly hard- they are hostessing, running food, collecting payments, and bussing it seems. I feel like that money they serve should be coming from the restaurant. Just my thoughts. Anyways, I did enjoy and the food was solid. It's not somewhere I'm recommending over similar spots or putting in my rotation or already planning to go back anytime soon.

    Fast service, a clean and welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food! I'll definitely be back.

    Overall, was pretty good! If you are looking for flavor, freshness, authentic, and filling, this is your spot. You order through the QR code and the staff comes around to drop off dishes and pick up empty ones. I loved the spicy lamb with noodles, braised rib meat with noodles, and chow fun! The noodles were meaty and tender and chewy - I could eat them all day! I also loved how spicy and flavorful the dishes were.

    Really good stir fry and dumplings, I have been here several times and all very good. Staff is attentive and friendly. We shared the fish balls, stir fry combo and beef roll. Plenty for two people, great value.

    We were trying to get into the sushi place next door but couldn't wait so came here! What a treat!! We got seated right away and the food came out fast and it was so tasty!!! I would highly recommend the beef wrap which was like a Chinese version of a burrito . . The spider dumpling was really good too! The soup dumplings are really good but be careful when you take a bite as they do squirt Service was fast and relatively friendly Would definitely come back!

    Always easy parking and quick to be seated. Their menu is pretty expansive and made to order, so food wait varies based on your order. The ordering is through the phone, super convenient. The pan friend bao is super delicious and perfect to share. The spicy green lamb hot pot is no joke!! It's numbing and sour and there is plenty of meat strips to noodle ratio so you do get your money's worth. The restaurant is pretty casual but they keep it clean and it's our go-to in Vegas because there's nothing bad on the menu.

    Everything was delicious here !! We went back and got chow mein another time and that was also really good. Service was ok also for a Chinese restaurant !

    It's weird how despite having access to so much Asian food back in LA, I still love visiting places like these outside of my home state. Located right off the strip, they're a huge bang for your buck for some great Chinese food. I loved the interior design, and service was good. It's a great mix of technology (ordering via your phone), as well was the in-person touch. 5/5 would be back whenever I'm in town again

    We came here for lunch before heading back to Phoenix. We found 四姐 Special Noodle on Yelp, and wonder how "special" their noodles really are. When we walked in, we saw a Chinese emperor-style chair with two huge ceramic vases on both sides. It's perfect for pictures, and yes, we did take a few. We got seated right away, and each table has its own iPad for ordering, which makes everything easy. We ordered dumplings, buns, noodles, and stir-fried intestine. The dumplings were sooo juicy and tasty. The wrapper was just right, not too thick and not too thin. The pork pan-fried buns were amazing, crispy on the bottom (a must) and juicy inside. I would definitely order those again. I believe they make their noodles in-house; the noodles were nice and chewy, loved it. The intestine stir-fry tasted good, just a little too greasy for us. We love trying new restaurants, and it's even better when they are good.

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!

Food was delicious per usual. My family enjoys the food and flavor is very consistent. My dad was in town for 2-3 weeks and we ate here at least 2-3x. Service was great but I felt bad for our server because it was a busy Saturday night and he was waiting on us with an assistant but also waiting on at least half of the main dining room as well. He did a good job, but it felt a bit chaotic in the small private space as food kept coming in but the tables were already full.

He was defensive and passive-aggressive, with several clearly sarcastic/dismissive lines. To clarify, I ordered crispy beef and egg fried rice for pickup. I understand that fried food can lose its crispiness during takeout, which is why I didn't make a huge issue out of the beef being soggy. My bigger issue was the egg fried rice. What I received was essentially white rice with pieces of egg. When I mentioned that it looked and tasted nothing like the egg fried rice pictured on their online ordering site, the business manager responded that he wasn't sure what else they were supposed to put in egg fried rice besides "eggs and white rice." although the site clearly shows green onions. He also suggested that I order the house combo if I wanted more ingredients. That's not really the point--I ordered egg fried rice, not a house combo, and expected the item to resemble what was advertised. As for the soup, I understand that it is hot and sour soup, not sweet and sour soup. My review was about the fact that I personally found the taste unpleasant, not that I expected it to be sweet and sour. The response also suggested that my crispy beef became soggy because of the time between pickup and eating. However, I picked it up, drove approximately three minutes back to the hotel, and ate it immediately. I had also already waited past my original pickup time because the order was pushed back. I don't expect every restaurant to be perfect, and I understand that takeout food can differ from dining in. What bothered me more was the response to legitimate criticism. Rather than acknowledging the discrepancy between what was advertised and what I received.
