text: I was sorely disappointed at the lack of flavor and service at this restaurant being that it is in the Bellagio Despite being a casual dining place the prices were fairly high but typical for something in this hotel To be honest I get much better Chinese food off the strip and felt robbed of my money when paying the check but I will explain that in a bitnnFirst we were in the Bellagio for something to eat since I wanted Jean Philippes afterward We walked toward the buffet and I was adamant on trying this restaurant because of the lovely decor and simple menu We were seated immediately at the back corner of the restaurant against the wall The part that irritated me was this grass skirt hanging decor that hung over our soy sauce and touched the table and I To top it off it was extremely dusty and dust particles were falling slowly like snow onto the table I was shocked to see filthy decor on the wall Still we ordered our food and we had to stick it outnnThe shumai and chicken satay appetizers came out first Both were okay but nothing to rave about Although it was packed with flavor the shumai reminded me of mushy microwavable shumai from the grocery store I was not impressed at all As for the chicken satay it was dry and the sauce was not flavorful for my taste It simply fell shortnnMy husband wanted the main courses to be outstanding as did I but alasthey were sad plates of Chinese food We ordered a chicken chow mein soya chicken skin on and bbq pork fried rice All of it was blase I was not impressed with the flavors textures or presentation The fried rice was extremely dry and was fluffy almost as if they used Uncle Bens rice instead of regular rice to make the dish The chow mein was okay but it was overpowered by salt for some reason As for the soya chicken it was moist and tasted good enough to chew and swallownnAfter an dollar check for what we ordered I was upset at this place for charging those prices for meager Chinese food The service was prompt on drinks but that was it Our server was also very pushy After ordering our first entree he was ready to leave nnAfter all that I wanted to stop at Beijing Noodle at Caesars to get shumai and noodles and then HK and Food Express for other chinese dishes to make me feel better about Chinese food It was sad sad eats at this restaurant I hate being depressed over food so expensive I will never eat at this place again although the food was edible It lacks luster and authenticity despite the s of asians working the kitchen and the floor Either someone dumbed down their taste or they believe dumbing down Chinese food appeals to the masses Either way someone did something very wrong at this place and it will kill them in the long runnnSteer clear of Noodles I am thankful it is in a corner that most people do not walk by because it does not deserve an audience
