Morimoto
Our last meal here. I picked Morimoto since it would be different from the two meals of Chinese food we already had at Din Tai Fung and Hakkasan. We had eaten at Morimoto Asia in Napa in October, but found it meh. Many years ago (2012!) we had eaten at Morimoto in Napa and I…

Goldilocks
We had a great time here last year, so we had to come back. We were having dinner later so we did try to be judicious in our ordering. We ordered lumpia, kare-kare, sinigang with pork, and pork adobo fried rice. For dessert two options for halo halo, the regular and the golden halo halo…

Hakkasan
We last ate at a Hakkasan in San Francisco when my parents were visiting. I remember it being elevated Chinese food and I remember the prime location it had and the interior, but I don’t really remember too much more than that. That location closed, but i did know there were many other Hakkasans still…

Sugarcane
Quick lunch in the Ventian. Decided on this place since it had a lot of lighter dishes since we would be eating out at Hakkasan later this evening. We both started with some bloody mary’s. It was a decent bloody mary and came with a whole piece of bacon. I assume that was there to…

é by José Andrés
This has to be one of the more difficult reservations to get in Las Vegas given that it only seats 9 (with perhaps only the Omakase seating for Wakuda being more difficult with only 6 seats…challenge accepted!). I hadn’t planned far enough in advance to book a reservation, but asked to be on the wait…

Din Tai Fung
We missed eating out here last year, so I was looking forward to finally eating here. It’s all about the dumplings here so we were going to definitely try a lot of those. We had ordered cucumber salad, hot & sour soup, shrimp fried rice, green beans and bunch of dumplings of course! The first…

Verjus
Been wanting to go here. Never went when they were open before, but thanks to Steven’s invite, I finally had a chance to go. Verjus is a French-inspired wine bar from the owners of Quince (where we’re have some of our best meals, but in our opinion has fallen off in our most recent dining)…

Flour + Water
We’ve been meaning to eat here ever since they opened in 2009(!). When they first opened, there were no reservations and it was wait in line only so we never bothered. During the pandemic, we did have some of their food kits. We had also ordered on numerous occasions from the pasta shop and eaten…

Hazie’s
Our dinner at Dumpling Home was so quick, we decided to go to Hazie’s for some after dinner drinks since it was on our way back to our car and it looked quite nice from the previous times we’ve walked by it. Also, I had been reading about this new restaurant app, Blackbird, and this…

Dumpling Home
When we went to Nightbird a few weeks ago, we passed by Dumpling Home on our way. This was also on our list of places to try, but we hadn’t prioritized it since since you can’t make reservations (line up and put your name on the yelp list once open). Andrea had been thinking about…
