text: My family and I come here often because we miss the dim sum in Hawaii After wandering for years in Las Vegas we finally decided to make our way into Orchids this year I am so glad that we did The dim sum is reasonably priced and the selection is abundant I would best compare it to Happy Day Chinese Restaurant on Waialae Ave in Honolulu FYI Saturday lunches are always so busy Expect to wait a few minutes to be seatednnIf you are looking for more authentic dim sum then this is not it although they do have their fair share of dim sum from chicken feet in black bean sauce to steamed char siu bao My kids enjoy the shumai and the rice wrapped in lotus leaf the most But what they really go there for is the sweets Lotus bean jin dui sesame balls filled with lotus or red bean is ever so present there just like in Hawaii yay And often but not always they have the cart going around serving you this sweet tofu dessert It is a freshly made silken tofu served hot in a sweet gingerinfused syrup I am not sure what they call it in Chinese but the cart ladies go around asking sweet tofu sweet tofu I know it is made there fresh because the owner I think she is one always reminds us she knows us that much that a fresh one is being made ready in minutes or sonnThe one thing we would love to see happen is Orchids being open for morning breakfastbrunch In Hawaii it is common to have dim sum for breakfast But here in Las Vegas not so common Too badnnThe staff is friendly as friendly as any Chinese restaurant staff could beif you have not been to a Chinese restaurant do not expect too much in polite unhurried style of service They do not speak English very well but I would still recommend to stick it out and try it or just go with someone who knows how and what to ordernnIf you are from Hawaii you will probably run into a few local residents who used to live in Hawaii That is what I like about Orchidsfeels like as if we were home again
