Q: My stomach hurts so bad as I write this review, I am definitely torching this place. This place is terrible! My whole family got sick after eating here. As I lay here feeling full of regret and in disbelief of how disgusting our dinner was here, my stomach is extra tender and sore and my mouth is numb and dehydrated. I'm full Vietnamese and this place is such a huge embarrassment and a disgrace to real authentic Vietnamese food. First offense - the goi cuon (shrimp and pork spring rolls/ summer rolls) were tiny and barely had any filling inside. A piece of lettuce, a tiny bit of noodles, a sliver of meat and 3 slivers of shrimp. Oh, and that so called dipping sauce was so gross! Super watered down. What a ripoff. Second offense - Msg was never really an issue for me and it never really caused me any problems, until I ate here. Also, my uncle is really sensitive to it and he had a lot of issues with his pho. He didn't drink any of his pho broth because it had too much MSG and by the end of dinner he started to feel sick. Third offense - the nuoc cham (fish sauce/dipping sauce) was so watered down, that I ended up asking them for 3 bowls for my meal - but even 3 bowls was not enough and I finally gave up. It was disgustingly bland. I was pretty much pouring sugar water onto my rice. Fourth offense - my pork chop was dry and the marinade was bland. The charring on the pork chop tasted artificial. Fifth offense - our tongue is all sorts of numb and shriveled up after eating here. I guess MSG does that to you. We're extremely weak, thirsty and dehydrated now. Sixth offense - the chow fun beef noodles in gravy (hu tieu xao bo) was so unappetizing and unappealing, I was in disbelief they served it to us. They overcooked the chow fun noodles so they broke up into a billion of small pieces when you tried to pick them up with chopsticks, the gravy was all watery and goopy. It was not tasty at all. With so many options in Vegas to get Vietnamese food late, this place is not one of them.

Q: I am a big fan of gastropubs, espcially when they are as elevated as the Citizen is. We requested to sit next to the open window that faces the street. It was a beautiful November evening, so a slight breeze was welcomed while we enjoyed our meal. Our server Clark was absolutely charming. He gave excellent recommendations when we needed some advice and he was able to joke around with us as we inhaled everything brought to our table! Our cobb salad, our pork belly, the cocktails, dessert, EVERYTHING! Some of the items we tried: -PORK BELLY PASTRAMI: house made and freaking delish!! melt in your mouth good! -THE ORIGINAL CHOPPED SALAD: awesome presentation -FAIR TRADE SHORT RIBS -ROASTED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN -GRILLED LAMB LOIN -Moe'scow Mule: coper cup and everything! -Citi-Zen: very refreshing. I'm not a vodka fan, but this was smooth and sweet! We will have to visit the Citizen Pulic House next time we're in town!

Q: Edited after the comment by howard: I have no interest in arguing but just wanted to clarify that the video is incorrect. That was not the night I visited the comedy club, and I have no idea or relations to those people in that video. I somewhat appreciate the effort in trying to make something wrong, right. At the same time, I don't appreciate the comment about integrity, especially when all the 'facts' are incorrect. I'll leave it at that, and will leave the review as it is. 4 stars for the comedians, drinks, and bartenders Even the opening comedians were hysterical! 1 star for the owner who wants to be a comedian. Please leave it up to your guest comedians. If you must crack jokes, pay attention to your audience's reactions. I'm the first one to crack on my race, but when you're making jokes almost as inappropriate as bad Holocaust jokes, you should probably stop. I tried to be a good sport at first, but when the distasteful jokes kept coming, it became a little much. The rest of the audience was silent & someone from the back actually started shouting back (negatively) at him (whether they're Asian or not I'm not sure). Disregarding that particular time of the night, it was a good time. Would I come again? No thank you.
