This is the second time in a row that I have stopped in first time about a month ago approx 2pm this time 830pm. Both visits exceptional! Store is clean (table, chairs, counters) food is ready and good. Service was great with samples offered. It appears "Ping" is in charge and runs a tight ship. I appreciate it, it shows at all levels she cares. Been a long time since I let half my meal get cold to write a review, but they are doing a good job at this location. Thanks Panda at 9th n Bell rd.

Its location right near UNLV suggests that it's mainly targeting the hungry college crowds. I, myself, graduated a long~ ago and graduated from "college food." It's just type of food to fill u up, not much more. Especially when it's combined with employees who cares less about any quality service than just clock-in, clock-out to earn a check, it's definitely a place I wouldn't recommend. Food was slightly better than a Frozen-Dinner, with lack of taste and quality. Service was terrible and rude!

I don't even know where to begin explaining the magnificence of this place. How have I lived two blocks away and never been here before?! My husband hosted my birthday dinner here last week for a party of twelve. The staff was gracious and very accommodating for our large group. Drink service was a weeee bit slow, but I'm not going to complain. The restaurant itself is cozy and quaint, with little bits of charm here and there. And how about their homemade tonic and ginger ale?! I knew that the menu was served family style, but we had such a random group of people together I wasn't sure what to expect as far as ordering and 'sharing' went. To my surprise, nearly everyone ordered something different, and we were all picking off of each other's plates (while oohing and aahing of course) the entire night. Among the dishes that were served was the fried goat cheese salad, roasted garlic baguette, wild mushroom tarts, patatas bravas, shrimp and tilapia escabeche, mac and cheese, fried chicken, skirt steak and Vovo's favorite that night: fish and chips. Each dish was eclectic yet so satisfyingly simple. It was obvious each ingredient was carefully selected to match both the highest quality and freshness. I cannot say that any of the dishes disappointed. The fried goat cheese salad was tangy and delicious; the cheese was fried to perfection. The macaroni and cheese was creamy, with a crispy breadcrumb crust and prosciutto topping - hands down the best macaroni I've ever had (shhh! don't tell my mom). The patatas bravas had a subtle peppery bite that paired so well alongside the creamy, garlic aioli. And OH MY GOD, the entrees. The fried chicken was juicy and oh-so-flavorful. Not heavy, or overly breaded. And I thought LoLo's was amazing! The skirt steak was cooked to a perfect medium, and paired with the sauteed mushrooms and lentil yukon mashed potatoes - well, I might as well have been in heaven. And oh, ooooh, the fish and chips. I can't even explain the level of deliciousness. Perfectly fried, moist, flaky fish served with patatas bravas and a sinful sriracha tartar sauce. Just kill me now, k? We left full and extremely satisfied. Including drinks, the tab came to close to $40 a person, which yes, is a splurge, but a worthy one at that. The service was impeccable, the food was unimaginably good, and the restaurant itself was beyond inviting. Tuck Shop is hands down my new favorite spot.

03/06/2014 I've been here before. It has not improved. Upon arrival I remembered the small parking area. When I walked in, I was told there are no rooms and that the only reservation was not mine . ( before I was even asked my name) after having that corrected, I did have a prepaid reservation. I was told it was only one day, not the three I was expecting. Thru doubled checked, and realized it was three. I went to my room, to find the door not fully closed. Uh ok, I can deal with that I guess. I'm tired from a long drive. The room smells awful, it looks awful. Red stains on the wall burn marks on everything, including the signature crack pipe burn on the TV, which seems to be a standard motel 6 amenity. The motel I wanted was booked, so I got stuck here by my employer. I was not expecting much from this motel 6. Even taking that into account , I am still disappointed. The only worse Motel 6 I have stayed at is the one on Indian School Road. In the morning, my three day stay will be changed to one day. Motel 6 does not seem to care about the motels that bear their name. I'm not sure if this is company or franchised owned. The room did not come out of my pocket, it was paid by my employer, that is the only positive thing about this experience. I can not want to stay in another place tomorrow to disinfect.
