Steak tartare
Jack K.

Nice little hidden gem! We live in the area and saw the amount of reviews and 5 stars so this one has been on our list to try for a while and I'm glad we did. I am a fan of fusion food and this place tends to combine a classic restaurant with an Asian twist. At least what we ordered. Favorite thing we ordered were all apps: the lettuce wraps, the beef tartare were both awesome and special, truly unique experience. We also got the salmon skin tacos and the sliders. For my entree I got the short rib with kimchi fried rice. It was good but again what wowed me were the apps. I also like their drink menu, they seem to be redoing it right now. Both drink I got were whiskey/bourbon old fashion style. One with chocolate and orange (my favorite of the night) and the other with coconut. I am glad this is another amazing option on the southwest. Definitely give this place a try if you like fusion.

Lettuce wraps!

Innovative special dishes that one has probably ever tasted or seen before. Imaginative mixture of ingredients. Also, a wonderful drink menu filled with lots of mixed drinks with exotic flavors. Not the regular/boring expected dishes here. Everything seems to be cooked fresh and made to order. The trout is very eye catching. No bones. Amazing! Very easy to eat for a whole fish. A+! My only dislike was the rough rap with vulgar lyrics being played when enjoying such creative and levelled-up cuisine with friends and familly. Luckily, we had no younger members dining. (Songs had vulgarities spoken, sexual aspects and lot of "N" words) Later in the evening, the restaurant transforms into more of a bar setting. This after dinner time seems more appropriate for this type of rap music to chill and relax.

Short Ribs

Great little spot in an unassuming strip mall off of Warm Springs run by Top Chef Alum Jamie Tran. Smallish maybe 50 or 60 seats and they have a small tight menu (which I love). We started with a few apps. Salmon Skin Tacos which we devoured before getting a pic. The Steak Tartar is very reminiscent of a Korean Yukwei with a great fermented salty kick. The Spare Rib with coffee glaze was fall apart tender but still had a great crust. We moved to entrees and had the Strip Steak and the Braised Short Ribs. Both were delicious the only hit I might give is I thought the short rib could have used just a touch of salt but when paired with the Kimchi Fried Rice it balanced nicely. We were too full for dessert so didn't give those whirl this time. Big shout out to Calyn our server who was friendly, pleasant and attentive. Will definitely be coming back

Went to BlackSheep for the first time this weekend. WOW what a menu! I had a hard time choosing what to get. While I didn't end up loving my dishes, I still looking forward to coming back. I got the salmon skin tacos. Very creative, very beautiful, not much flavor. The strongest flavor that came through was the red onion which I'm not a big fan of. For dinner I got the vegan noodles. Good texture, liked the veggies, it was a little spicier than expected and I'm coming to realize I may not love gochujang so much. The sauce was just a little too thick and overpowering. That said, the bao sliders were delicious, the steak tartare was interesting. The pork jowl was very tasty and the short rib looked very good. I did not love the imperial rolls, they had some flavor/spice coming through that I really disliked but others enjoyed them. In addition to the food, the service was great. They took great care of us, and even offered to write happy birthday on the cake we brought in. They did charge a cake cutting fee and cut up our whole cake and served us which was nice. Finally the ambiance was nice. It's not a large space (not too small either). Felt intimate, not a ton of other people. It was a great dining experience and I look forward to going back.

If you're looking for the best restaurant on the west side, you can stop looking. I found it. Congrats Chef Jamie on her James Beard nomination. My favorite thing is that Chef is hands on in her restaurant. Filling water and bussing tables. She's humble and talented at the same time which is hard to find. I came to Black sheep when they first opened many years ago and was impressed. I came back last night and was blown away. The menu keeps the old favorites but it's constantly evolving and adding new dishes. You'll never get bored here. My surprise favorite was the pear salad. The layering of flavors in that dish were so unexpected and so well thought out. If I lived on the west side I would come here daily to sit at the bar, have a glass of Vhino Verde and that salad. Literally everything else is stellar too. I was able to try most of the menu including specials and was blown away.

Salmon skin tacos $10.  Must get.  Only 15 servings made per night

Jamie Tran is still making really yummy food! Its been a minute since we have been here and decided to stop in for dinner. We were greeted and led to our table by friendly hostess. Inside was still beautiful and had some cool old school hip hop playing. I loved the vibe. We had the pear salad. Still outstanding. This is a must get. You don't regret it. Another standout was the spareribs. Wow! Incredible flavor. Salmon skin tacos are always a hit. Crispy salmon skin shells filled with spicy tuna. Pork bao buns juicy and filling. Beef tartare was pretty good. I think we were full by then. Our waiter was amazing. Very attentive. We loved the cocktails/mocktails we ordered. I appreciate when restaurants have mocktails available. Definitely missed having the octopus on the menu as that was our favorite. We will definitely be back.

My friend wanted to try this restaurant out because she loves Top Chef. This is a great spot off-the-strip with plenty of parking, a quiet, intimate atmosphere, and warm lighting that makes it perfect for date night or a relaxed evening out. It feels refined without being stuffy. You can dress casually and still enjoy elevated food and service. The menu features creative, Asian-inspired dishes and appears to change seasonally, which we loved. We started with the salmon skin tacos, which were exciting to try because they're such a unique menu item. The crispy salmon skin works as the taco shell and pairs nicely with the tender salmon tartare. There's great texture and balance, though it wasn't our favorite and we felt like it could've used just a touch of salt. Still, I'm glad we tried it. We also tried the chicken dumplings and Japanese pancake. We honestly couldn't choose a favorite between these two starters. The dumplings were served in a flavorful sauce, with crispy chicken skin pieces that added an amazing texture. The Japanese pancake was the best savory pancake I've had. We debated ordering a second, but didn't want to get too full before our entrées. We both ordered the braised pork jowl. I don't eat pork often (or meat in general), but this was done right. The meat was incredibly tender...no knife needed, and not overly fatty. The noodles are made fresh in-house, and the broth was rich, deep, and layered with flavor. The bitterness of the greens balanced the richness perfectly. It was comforting without feeling heavy, and was even better the next day as leftovers. I could've drank the broth on its own. Service was professional and attentive throughout the meal. For dessert, I had the maple bacon ice cream (also made in-house). The maple base was sweet and creamy with perfectly salty chunks of bacon. It was a total flavor bomb. One scoop was perfect, and if this were sold in ice cream shops, I'd buy it regularly. Overall, we really enjoyed the thoughtful, well-executed dishes. Everything was tasty and served beautifully.

Sitting in a West Las Vegas strip mall, The Black Sheep is a unique American-Vietnamese spot with great and vibrant, layered flavors and thoughtful presentation. The menu is creative without being common, blending Asian influences with contemporary American technique in a cozy, modern setting. Standout dishes include the Oxtail Empanadas, rich and tender with bright chimichurri; the Steak Tartare with Asian pear and pickled chili; and the addictive Fried Beef Crisps with Thai chili tajin. For mains, the Braised Pork Jowl is deeply flavorful, while the Vegan Vietnamese Glass Noodles prove just as satisfying for plant-forward diners. Steak lovers will appreciate the grass-fed ribeye or flat iron, elevated by inventive sides. Overall, The Black Sheep delivers a memorable off-Strip dining experience that's well worth the drive -- perfect for adventurous eaters and date nights alike.

Salmon skin tacos

Great ambiance, great service. Location is not the most ideal (for a tourist like myself), with it being a bit aways from the strip. But the food was good. Cocktails meh. Highlight: oxtail empanada, yum! The dumplings were pretty delish too. And the noodles in the braised pork jowl had great flavoring. Salmon skin tacos were mid. Short rib with kimchi fried rice was ok (not bad, but I've had better). Rainbow trout was impressively presented -- a good option if you're a big fan of fish.

We've ordered several dishes to create our own tasting menu and the top chef kept us interested. Salmon skin tacos: these were delectable and are a must get! The salmon melted in my mouth and the crispy salmon skin gave a texture contrast that kept me engaged. The creamy herbaceous sauce just tied this perfect dish, 5/5 stars! Fried beef crisps: another must get and better than pork rinds / chicharones. These are light but crispy and had a savory beef flavor that was seasoned with a hint of lime, 5/5 stars! Special menu item - hot chicken karaage on honey toast: the chicken had a nice crispy exterior while keeping the interior juicy. However, the sauce was a bit confusing, as there was no flavor that stood out. Thus, this dish was lost and the toast was basic, 2/5 stars. Charcuterie board: nothing stood out as it was a typical item you'd get at any wine bar, 3.5/5 stars. Spring rolls: these were fried to a crisp, were savory, and easy to finish, 4/5 stars. Shrimp chips and bao sliders: the shrimp chips were thick and flavorful while the bao had too much dough; however, the tuna delivered, 3.5/5 stars. Tres Leches "chocolates" cake: this was a deconstructed cake that just brought different flavors at each bite. The white chocolate for me was the best due to it's smooth sweetness, 4.5/5 stars! Rocky road: this was a sophisticated version as it was creamy and high-quality, 4.5/5 stars. The service was reserved but considerate and the food was prepared rather quickly. Next time, we will sample the entrées.

Rainbow trout

I had heard so many great things about this restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming . The biggest disappointment was our server. He seemed disinterested from the start, almost bothered to be doing his job. There was no warm welcome, no effort to make the experience enjoyable nor memorable. What made it more noticeable was hearing the server at the table next to us ask them if it was their first time dining there or if they were celebrating anything special. Mean while, our server gave off the vibe that we weren't ordering "enough" when we just wanted to start with one appetizer. Now, onto the food. The Japanese pancake was the highlight of the night, absolutely delicious! It may look small, but it is filling, and easily a 10/10. For my entrée, I had the rainbow trout, and wow the sauce was incredible, and the spinach on the side was equally flavorful. My husband ordered the slow-braised short rib, which was hit-or-miss. Some bites were juicy and tender, while others had odd flavors. It's paired with kimchi rice topped with an underwhelming fried egg, and overall the dish just felt heavy. By the end of the meal, neither of us felt great. Between the underwhelming service and the overall vibe, we left disappointed and likely won't be back, despite a couple of standout dishes.

Charcuterie
Matthew R.

I have often noticed this tucked away restaurant as I got my BWW fix and decided the time was right to taste some more refined cuisine. My wife and I made reservations online for 6:15 and were promptly seated near the back of the small dining area. Our server was quick to greet us and offer us a beverage (sadly, no iced tea). We had a difficult time decided what to sample on this maiden voyage so we ended up foregoing the entrees and instead eating 4 different starters. All of them were delicious! First, and favorite, were the 2 salmon skin tacos. A perfect blend of savory and spice left us wanting more. The charcuterie board came with creatively sliced bread, a variety of cheeses, grapes, strawberries, cashews, pickles, chicken patté, prosciutto, salami, and bone marrow butter. I was able to add dijon mustard as well. Oxtail empanadas (2) which came with a pickled salad and tasted great. Lamb dumplings (4) which were the perfect combo of flavors. The Americano was also very good. The drip coffee was fine. We were tempted by the dessert options, cheesecake, tres leches cake, and ice cream, but decided to call it a night. $88 for the meal. Definitely would return!

The Black Sheep is a neighborhood Modern Vietnamese/American Restaurant by well seasoned chef Jamie Tran who worked under some of Las Vegas's finest chefs and also was a competitor on Bravo's TV Show Top Chef. The location of this restaurant is relatively close to The Durango. Inside are mostly traditional tables and there also is seating at the bar. The menu does change slightly every so often and they so far always offered a couple of specials. Usually the menu features a lot of fish and beef dishes and usually one vegan dish (plus others). Desserts are always amazing and are completely made in-house. We've been here a number of times and have always enjoyed every appetizer we've tried. I felt the need to bring them back up to 5 stars because the chef's signature boneless crispy rainbow trout was indeed crispy again. I've had this dish 6 times and 4 out of 6 times it arrived as it should. Desserts are always amazing and worth the calories. Maybe not 100% perfection at all times but a very good restaurant that we are lucky to have here.

Ask the Community - The Black Sheep

Interested in group dining. Do they offer that option for private events?

Is it baby friendly?

It depends on what you define as baby friendly. The staff are great and accommodating, but I'm not sure what kind of seat you need due you baby. A stroller could be placed by a table. It might be hard to fit in a crowded evening. It isn't designed… 

Are you open for lunch?

No, it opens at 5:00pm

Are they still offering takeout?

Yes

Does this place have happy hour on Saturday now?

Still doing brunch? If so what are hours?

Are you open for inside dining?

Hi, Yes we are open for inside dining. Tuesday - Sunday from 5pm until 10pm.

Can you sit at the bar and still have the restaurant week menu?

Yes, you may absolutely sit at the Bar and enjoy the Restaurant Week menu.

Can you bring your own wine for a corkage fee?

Yes we do offer a corkage fee ($25). The fee can be waived if you purchase an additional bottle off our wine list.

When is happy hour, specifically the $1 oyster special? Thanks.

Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 I was looking for a cocktail bar to try in Vegas and I'm so glad that I tried this place. Located in the Uncommons, I parked in their parking structure. I hung out for longer than 2 hours so I think that's why I paid $3 for parking at the end of the night. Entrance located in the Quad Area. Our waitress Bella was sweet and recommended the right drinks. We tried the Li Hung Hula margarita, Monkey In A Tree piña colada, and the Oso Panda signature cocktail. All drinks tasted amazing and looked very good. I loved the ambiance of this place. They have outdoor patio seating and inside seating. It gives a comfy feel with their seat cushions, small tables, and stools. I noticed it got busier as the night got later. They have one T.V. that they had on when I came in but was covered up by the time I left. I definitely recommend this place. Glad I came after dinner as they do not serve food here. I would definitely come again!

I will say on weekend nights, I had always seen this place crowded and lively. I was for sure curious. On a weekday evening, I strolled into this venue. It had great chill music and had some customers, but not busy at all. The weather had been a little more humid than usual and with the full opened walls/doors to the outside patio, it was a bit warm, little muggy sitting at the bar. The decor is really nice though, a really good tiki vibe. The bartender addressed us right away and we were first looking for an espresso martini but they had a Carajillo, which was explained to be a Spanish version of an espresso martini. The bartender said it was really good. We got it - and you have to expect something that is the same as the espresso martini. The flavor was alright, but the knock for me was that it was all ice. There was very little drink in it. The agua fresca was a winner - the Sundown Sipper. It was refreshing and a great blend of juices. Not tart, perfect amount of sweet tropical flavor. I did really enjoy this. If you're not a drinker, you have options here.

The Felix is a new gem!…read more We had such a great experience at The Felix. From the moment we sat down, the whole place felt like a vibe -- great ambience, excellent service, delicious food, and yummy cocktails made by Dave the bartender. I wish I remembered the name of our server because she was also a gem, so friendly and engaging -- but we're going to blame that on the cocktails. We ordered the deviled eggs, wings, short rib, mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts with parmesan cheese. Everything was outstanding. Not one miss. And the reason there are no photos of the food? By the time we thought to take pictures, we had already eaten everything. That should tell you all you need to know. We were literally smiling from ear to ear the entire time, and people kept coming over to our table because the energy was that good. The Felix has officially made our list. Great food, great drinks, great service, and a fun atmosphere -- we will definitely be back!

Glad I could check out this place as the Hollywood longer vibe definitely grabbed my attention…read more Sadly tho this might be a one visit place. The entry is super cute, grand princess chair to welcome you sparks your curiosity about what else the ambiance has to offer. You walk in and it's for sure a vibe. High boy tables surrounding a wrap around bar and super cute small booths line the walls. There was also a back room which I believe led to an outdoor area but we didn't really explore that far. Why only a one visit spot? Happy hour menu is very limited, service was not awesome & food was edible. Most of the menu was pretty standard amongst the lounge & bars around, so given the awesome ambiance I was expecting dishes that aligned but it was pretty standard. Fries, skewers, chip/dip, salad, sandwiches, wings, etc. I will say the Brussels sprouts were delicious! Specialty cocktails - s'mores espresso martini VERY chocolatey, sugar tasting. I couldn't even finish it. LOVED the watermelon martini tho! Definitely try. So refreshing & yummy! Service- he was very nice just not very attentive. He forgot things, we had to ask multiple times for items and took a long time to bring things. I did realize he had a lot of tables so he was busy, maybe they were short staffed!???! It was a Friday night during prime dinner time so I would have thought they would have better prepared. When leaving the hostess made the exit a bit uncomfortable, she just stared at us. We had to break the awkwardness by saying "thank you bye". She just kept staring at us and back at her iPad or computer not sure what!?? It wasn't a horrible visit but definitely not an incredible one either. Too bad too bc the place is super cute!

But it's absolutely stunning in here with a lot of booth seating which I always like. Our server was amazing and took the best care of us! For Wednesdays on Ladies Night, they give you a toast of champagne which is so nice. They also had 50% off some cocktails as well. To start, they give you chips and salsa and both are really tasty. To drink, I ordered the Sandia Diva and the Nuts About You. The Sandia Diva was sooo good and refreshing. I loved the presentation of it. Also, their menu gives photos of their cocktails which I also love cuz sometimes its hard to figure out what they look like. The Nuts About You was basically an espresso martini with pistachios and was soooo good and creamy! Our server recommended it so we both had it and really loved it! We decided to split a lot of items, which is always my favorite way to eat with friends. We ordered the yellowtail ceviche, empanadas, taquitos, and a variety of tacos. The avocado taco was pretty good, though I thought it was going to be a fried avocado for some reason haha. Still tasty! They do give two tortillas which at first I was like eh, but then I realized they fall apart so makes sense haha. The empanadas were delicious and so were the taquitos! But the star was definitely the yellowtail ceviche which is what our server told us to order. I definitely would come back here again! It's so cute at the UnCommons and such a great elevated restaurant!

Bel-Aire Lounge is often a vibe due to the crowd of patrons it attracts. There's no denying that…read more The food options are decent, too. Where this venue lacks is in customer service. I will outline my very specific encounter. So boom--it's football season. An excellent opportunity for outlets to boost sales, be it food or alcohol. It's Sunday and the day's morning and midday games have concluded. Time for SNF! Rather than sitting in the freezing cold interior, we migrate to the patio. Noticing the patio TV is still set to the channel midday games aired on, I kindly ask the bartender if they can liase to have the patio's TV changed to the Sunday night game (so we can patronize in a warmer setting.) Bartender says "ok sure, all TVs transition anyway". Needless to say the patio TV did not after all of the indoor TVs did. I go back to relay that the patio TV did not cutover. The same bartender kicked off some half-hearted "yeah sorry, a different entity controls that" That's not how DirectTV/DAZN/Everpass works for commercial venues. Whomever can control the venues' TVs inside can control the outdoor one. The subscription is by FCO, and the patio is commissioned to Bel-Aire Lounge. And even if (theoretically) it was up to the Casino team to make the channel switch, bare bones customer service would encourage one to reach over to those other collagues to make this simple change happen. I approached a different Team Member, this time a red shirt and asked if he could liaise to make the channel switch. He confirmed that the folks inside had reign. And when I told him I'd already asked them, he shrugged and admitted they probably only said they couldn't as a way to get out of doing it. Eventually, I was able to flag down a different employee inside the venue (who I presume was a MOD) to have the TV flipped to the night game. Within a couple of minutes it was done. I paint the picture because the same bartender in question was standoffish when we entered the venue. She offered a menu but never came back to take the order. Eventually a much sweeter bartender came by to ask whether we'd been served, and offered to place the order. I don't mention this to be vindictive or put the young lady on the spot, but the stank and stush attitude is absolutely not how you maintain goodwill with spending customers. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or if we were singled out, but I did find it interesting she pepped up her level of service to a different group. This prompted me to make an executive decision to STOP spending here, and head over to General Admission at the half. Sorry to say but the lady bartender with a tattooed chest and arm piece needs some coaching. In a climate where many entertainment and leisure businesses are seeing stagnancy, hospitable warmth goes a looooong way. Stop playing with people (especially those of us that work tangentially in the business and know how these things go) if you truly care about your top line. And ofc, there's no shortage of places willing to take your $ in exchange for basic gestures of humanity. My perception of Durango/STN as an operator is now mired :/ Should I ever decide to return, I will make certain I'm not spending my own dollars. Do better!

They offer a menu and a seasonal menu of all kinds of globally accented choices to please a variety of different tastes and appetites. They also have a cookie and coffee bar at their inside entrance. Inside is a modern spacious plant embellished atmosphere, a bar, and a beautiful outdoor patio with fountains. I'm still a fan of this restaurant but we hit them on a day were we had not so great service and experienced one dish that I figure could not have been prepared correctly but on the other hand most dishes we've tried here were very good and LAST TIME we had great service so like most restaurants out there most are not perfect. This restaurant offers many interesting appetizers. This time we tried the cheesy dream puffs. They come out fresh and hot and are light as air and are cheesy. My husband got a prime burger again (medium-rare). Last they told us that the burgers are fresh ground in house. Anyways- The burger did taste good but wasn't perfect. It came with unripe tomato that was soggy. The cheese wasn't melted. AND OUR WAITER DIDN"T OFFER KETCHUP for the fries. I tried their Famous Herb Chicken Breast Pailard. The chicken was nice tender and moist but kinda boring with not much to it. But someone there SCREWED UP THE ARUGULA SALAD because it was so burning spicy hot that I should have called the FIRE DEPARTMENT. NOBODY WOULD ENJOY EATING THIS SALAD. I so wanted to complain to our waiter but he never returned to check on us. He only came to the table when we were done and asked us if we wanted dessert. I also didn't notice any management here. 3.5 Stars (don't get the Famous Herb Chicken Breast Pailard)

We've been here 6-8 times in the last 6 months! Never disappoints, always consistent and great…read moreservice! I'm gluten free and I absolutely love the gf fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries! Seriously the best! Everyone's always happy with their meals... Large group brunch to before the show lunch or dinner! Definitely my favorite restaurant in town!

Wineaux is one of those places where the ambiance immediately pulls you in. The space is chic,…read moremodern and effortlessly sophisticated, with huge windows flooding the room with natural light, gorgeous contemporary chandeliers, beautiful wine displays woven throughout the design, and a mix of stylish lounge seating, tables and a stunning bar. It feels upscale and glamorous, but still warm and inviting, the kind of place you want to settle into and stay awhile. And the wine selection? IMPRESSIVE. We went straight for the bubbly flight, and it was excellent! There's something so fun about being able to sample different sparkling wines while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We also decided to make our own little feast out of the small plates, oysters, caviar, truffle bread, a gorgeous cheese platter and more. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and perfect for sharing. Honestly, it's the kind of menu that makes you want to order a little bit of everything and just keep sipping and grazing. The service was outstanding. Everyone was attentive, accommodating and incredibly prompt, while still giving us plenty of time to relax and enjoy ourselves. That combination of great hospitality, beautiful surroundings, delicious food and an exceptional wine selection really made the entire experience special. Wineaux is definitely giving chic wine bar meets sophisticated social lounge, and I'm here for it! Perfect for a girls' night, date night, celebration or simply an afternoon of sipping, snacking and enjoying the finer things.

There's a parking garage conveniently located directly across from Wineaux. The ambiance is very nice and modern. There's also outdoor seating available directly across from this place. The seats are like cafe seating mixed with some comfortable lounge seating and a large communal high top. We sat at the communal high top, and the seats here are bar stools with no back support, but the seats were still very comfortable even if you're sitting for at least a couple of hours. They have a great menu with some unique offerings that I would love to try next time. For tonight, we had samples of the salad, hummus crudité, seasonal squash soup, and some type of bread. I'm sure all these things we sampled are on their menu.

Seven was our waitress and somehow managed the impossible combination of being attentive without hovering. Drinks were full, coals were fresh, and she kept everything running like she'd already read our minds. The food on the menu looked good enough to make me question my life choices, so I'll definitely be back to try it next time. Great hookah, great service, and a chill atmosphere. The only complaint I have is that eventually I had to leave.

One of my friends tried the pizza and he wasn't a fan. Drinks were on point and it was the owners birthday so we had shots cake and more shots lol. When I say you'll enjoy Old Skool, you won't be disappointed. It took maybe an hour for our hookah & food to come out which food didn't bother us much. However the hookah taking that long was wild. Come to find out our waitress didn't put it in. The owner came and apologized and gave us a few shots. The hookah However was clean tasting, smooth and honestly the presentation was worth the wait. The other negative here which didnt impact my rating was our waitress. She barely came to the table, we dabbed up the owner more times than we saw our waitress. She missed things we ordered but again the owner was a G and he took care of us. Overall great experience and I would definitely be back my next visit. This was an entire vibe and made our night.

Saigon Corner Restaurant - Flower Periwinkle in Fried Garlic Butter (escargot)

If you're willing to drive a little past the Spring Mountain Asian district, Saigon Corner is…read moreabsolutely worth the trip. The name is fitting too. The restaurant is decorated with Vietnamese street signs representing different areas of Vietnam, giving it a fun street food vibe. The menu has an impressive variety. You'll find the classic Vietnamese staples, but what really sets this place apart is the selection of authentic street food and dishes that are hard to find at most Vietnamese restaurants. We came with a group of 10 and they were incredibly accommodating. They rearranged the tables so we could all sit together instead of splitting us up. Just be sure to call ahead if you have a large party so they can prepare. Everything came out quickly and was packed with authentic flavor. My favorite dish was the bò tái chanh (Vietnamese beef carpaccio). The thinly sliced beef cured in lime juice was fresh, tender, it was just a bit too sweet but still delicious. They also serve a raw shrimp dish that was incredibly flavorful. It won't be for everyone, but if you enjoy adventurous and authentic Vietnamese cuisine, it's a must try. The escargot was another pleasant surprise. I love seeing dishes like this on the menu because they're becoming harder to find. The only items that didn't stand out were the spring rolls and pho. They were good, but nothing memorable compared to everything else. I'd skip those and save your appetite for the street food specialties instead. Overall, this is the place to go when you want authentic Vietnamese flavors beyond the usual pho and bánh mì. We're so glad we discovered Saigon Corner, and we'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.
