Problem: Wow, I don't remember the last time I spent $40 for a burger and a shake. That's right, because I never did! Granted this was Vegas, but it wasn't like I was at a buffet or anything. Though I was stuffed, and probably in a better way than if I had gone to a buffet, I left wondering how I ended up spending $40 (tax+tip included) on a burger and a shake. Oh yeah, it was an alcoholic shake. But why couldn't I taste the whiskey? Seriously, I'm not that much of a heavy drinker, either. That $13 Pumpkin Pie Shake, while heavenly delicious, did not have a single trace of alcohol in it. Like a studious Yelper, I did my homework and listened to Steph C.'s rec and opted for THE RISING SUN (Kobe Beef, Teriyaki Glaze, Nori Furikake, Crispy Yam, Spicy Mayo & Tempura Avocado). I've never had fried avocado let alone on a burger! The crispy yam was also new for me, but man was that Kobe beef patty delicious. Medium rare perfection with that sweet and savory Terikayi Glaze. For those who don't know, Nori Furikake is a popular Japanese condiment which is like seaweed seasoning. It usually has sesame seeds, dried/ground fish, sugar, salt, and you guessed it, MSG. While I can't be sure Holstein's furikake had MSG, it definitely did not deter me from devouring that burger. It was not missing any flavor, and I couldn't be happier with the food in front of me. The fries were also delicious, but that burger was pretty unforgettable. It definitely doesn't come close to the best burger I've had, but props for making me want to return and try other menu items. Next time, it might have to be the BIG FAT GREEK (Greek Spiced Lamb With Feta Cream, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion & Olive Relish, W/Tatziki Sauce) or the BILLIONAIRE BURGER (Kobe Beef, Foie Gras, Port Onion Marmalade, Frisee, Truffle Mayo). What can I say, I love a good burger.

Problem: dear lulu, what's happened to you? you used to be *the* refuge for my asian food fix but your food leaves something to be desired lately. dr fu's noodles has way too much salt; noodle bowls are only ok (you're a noodle place, after all - no excuses for being less than stellar), the bibimbop looks like a medley of canned products and tastes like it. i really *want* to like you...you do have a great menu selection, terrific drinks, very cool vibe, great location and efficient waitstaff but something in the kitchen really needs to change, please, please? i hate to say but...it's not me, it's you.

Problem: Came here for dinner on Saturday night with our friends. Restaurant was pretty quiet so that should have been a sign, right? It was pricey and the portions were TINY! Maybe we're just used to Seattle size portions but when we got our "combo" plate of bbq meats (duck, chicken and roast pork), the guys asked is that everything or is there more? Plus you have to pay extra to get the roast pork! The house special chow mein was swimming in gravy- maybe add some more noodles to balance out all the sauce... We will have to look a little harder for good Chinese food in Vegas next time!
