4 stars for vegas standards, 3 stars compared to the bay...but china mama's is still a cute little place we found off strip while on an epic hangover quest. beef noodle soup did just the trick. thick noodles, fatty braised beef, and a good broth base, i was back on my feet in no time. they have northern china styled foods in general. xiao long bao were a bit of a surprise. a little lacking on the soup but it had a pretty good skin that wasn't overly chewy or doughy. green onion pancakes and dou jiang (hot soy milk) were average. all in all, this place was pretty good. if i lived in vegas, i'd probably eat here again.

Absolute worst service ever. Been here for 1 1/2 hours and still no food. Manager ignored 3 requests to talk to us and when he finally came to our table he had an attitude. Waitress was non existent. Don't come here if you want to eat anytime soon.

this is the first time I've eaten in, i will not be ordering delivery again if i can help it. their lunch specialv is huge. I've only eaten the soup and won tons....already full. If you like boba don't come right at opening, its not ready yet. that's the reason for 4 stars. the combination kung pao is too spicy for me...the spiciest i've ever had. they put the regular crushed red pepper and the long red peppers, but also add jalapeno. next time i will order no jalapeno . the lunch with large Thai tea was under 10 bux and more than enough for lunch and dinner.

Sat in the cafe (front portion of restaurant) and ordered off the cafe menu. We knew portions would be smaller, but a side dish of pasta for $22 is a little steep. I asked if the $16 caesar was a main course and was told it was a side dish for $16. Again, very steep for romaine and a little dressing. I saw the salad at the table next to us and it was nothing special. Our drinks were never refilled and a different server came to the table for drinks, ordering, food delivery, and check. Quite bizarre. Two small orders of spaghetti and 1 iced tea for $50 without tip.
