Good and reasonable Si Chuan cuisine not to far from the strip. I had a delicious cucumber in garlic appetizer (shared with my dining companion) and the fish hotpot for the main course. The fish hotpot was of a generous size (probably enough for two but the food was very light and I was hungry, so I ate a good portion of it) and only cost 13.99. It was somewhat spicy (not particularly compared to Si Chuan restuarants I've visited in China) and very flavorful, and everything tasted very fresh. The place is not much to look at, but the service was better than I'd read, quite pleasant actually. I'd recommend wholeheartedly.

Went here with a classmate during finals week. Food was amazing compared to the Panda Express we eat twice a week at the SU. The service on the other hand was terrible. We weren't even offered water. Ordered something to go and when I got home I realized the server/cashier had put two different types if sauced meats in one container without a partition. The food wasn't even sealed properly, the bag was soaked with sauce. For a Chinese place to not know how to do a to-go order baffles me! May have to try it one more time to give a better star rating :/

Getting obsessed with Sichuan food recently; this place is authentic and SPICY. Small and uncrowded, as close as In-N-Out and cheaper than Smashburger for lunch. Infinitely better and comparably priced to Panda in the SU.I've been here twice now and had the following:Sichuan chopped chicken - comes on a bed of dried chilis, great and peppery. Chicken was a bit bony, though. This is ostensibly their signature and it definitely tastes great and leaves your tongue pleasantly numb.Sichuan twice-cooked pork - Fantastic lunch special dish, spicy in all the right ways.Eggplant in spicy garlic sauce - not nearly as hot as the above two dishes, but amazingly savory and visually stunning. Almost my favorite dish, but it's hard to pick when everything is so good.

Maybe it's the fact that I'm sick and therefore am not in the mood for incompetence, but I find myself quite displeased with this place. I had ordered the egg and tomato noodle. What I received was hot water ( with a sprinkle of chicken broth) noodles and some tomatoes sprinkled inside with an oily fried egg on top. All this costed me $7.99. Just.... No.

A hidden little family owned restaurant close to UNLV that features spicy dishes! Upon entering the establishment, I noticed that all of the patrons were Asian....truly a mark of authenticity. :) The interior was clean and cosy and service was efficient enough, if lacking in warmth. Unfortunately, the credit card machine wasn't working that day, which meant we had to do some scrounging to find enough cash to pay the bill.We ordered the spicy eggplant, the spicy tofu, and the tofu/fish dishes. All were very tasty and spicy, but not *too* spicy. I could taste the non-spice elements easily. My only criticism is that the eggplant dish was a bit on the oily side, but then again, eggplants are the sponges of the veggie family, soaking up whatever they come in contact with!I would definitely come here again to enjoy some yummy food in a quiet atmosphere close to UNLV.*FYI: Jugoo is in the same little plaza as the Smashburger on Maryland Parkway.*

I've recently become a regular to this restaurant after a recommendation. I had just about given up on Chinese food in Las Vegas before trying this place. The food here is always consistent and they have a really good lunch special. As others said its $6.95 for 1 item with rice and a spring roll or $9.95 for 2 items. I usually only get 2 items when I'm really hungry, and enjoy every last bite of it. The eggplant with yellow bean paste, duck with tea sauce, beef with leak, and dry cooked beef/lamb are my favorites. My mouth is actually salivating thinking about the duck, it was one of the best I've had at a chinese restaurant!!One thing I would not recommend here are the wonton soup. They were really doughy and didnt really have any filling in it. Other then that everything else I've tried is great.

The food here is great! Their menu has so much variety and keeps you wanting to try something new each time you go. I'm a huge fan of all their eggplant dishes and lamb dishes. The only thing I can say is that they're portions vary on a daily basis. But other than that, the food is amazing. I would highly recommend eating here :)

If you were considering the veggie fried rice, just swing by your local supermarket and buy an onion instead.Also, don't expect them to put sweet & sour sauce in your take-out bag if you order egg rolls. They won't.

I'm starting to love this place more and more. The first time I went I got soup and it wasn't my favorite and it was also huge so I couldn't try anything else. But i think that was one bad day because they have SO MUCH MORE to offer. I've come back for dinner and lunch menus and I am hooked on their classic green beans. They don't have brown rice or a great variety of vegan choices but vegetarians could get by pretty well. Their peanuts and tofu is an interesting yummy appetizer, veggie fried rice tastes just like the fried rice I use to eat in Japan, not too strong with soy sauce like Panda Express or too greasy... Full of veggies like I like it. Lunch has a great option of picking one or two food with rice and vegetable spring rolls. People are nice and u can tell its legit because most of their customers are Chinese. :) Check it out and support small business! U won't regret it nom nom ...

We ordered- water boiled beef- white cut pork- ...Went with a party 7. Two (2) of us got sick with food poisoning from the at least the water boiled beef. We were on vacation to las vegas and the national parks, and we were thoroughly messed up for the next 2 days. We threw up at least once over that night. The next morning, we barely could get up. I was the tour guide; i had to relieve myself from those duties the whole of next day. It was tylenol, gatorade, and sleeping -- on my vacation. Shit.Don't go to this restaurant if you need your health the next few days.
AVG:(5.0)
