\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

When we reached Las Vegas<\/a>, it was around noon time so we drove to Las Vegas Chinatown to have some Asian cuisine.\u00a0 We did some research before knowing that the Vietnamese Pho\u00a0 at Las Vegas Chinatown is authentic and one of the best!<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

The distance is about 2 miles away from The Strip Las Vegas<\/a>.\u00a0 People usually go to The Strip during night time when the neon lights started working at that hours.\u00a0 So no point rushing to The Strip<\/a> so early.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Las Vegas Chinatown is located at Spring Mountain Road so in Chinese is called as “\u6625\u5c71”.\u00a0 Well, the translation make sense!<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Parking is a headache here, it took us a while to find a spot to park.\u00a0 I guess Chinatown everywhere in the world has such problem.\u00a0 However parking is free.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Chinatown Plaza<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chinatown Las Vegas does not look like any other Chinatown you see in\u00a0 such as San Francisco or LA Chinatown or London<\/a> or Sydney .\u00a0 Chinatown in Las Vegas look more like a street mall in an enclose area.\u00a0 This is a place to serve\u00a0 all the Asian community, you find Chinese Law Office, travel agency, real estate agency etc.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a statue of “Journey to the West” -4 main characters, including the Monkey King, pigsg, Monk Sha &\u00a0Tang Sanzang\/ Tang Seng riding on a horse, stand facing the Dynasty-inspired gate.<\/p>\n

\"Journey<\/a><\/p>\n

Chinatown does not only limited to Chinese stuff, they have all sort of Asian stuff and cuisine here.\u00a0\u00a0We found restaurants from Chinese, Taiwanese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean & Vietnamese.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

99 Ranch Supermarket<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beside dining, you can also do your Asian groceries shopping here.\u00a0 There is a Asian supermarket called 99 Ranch Market selling all sort of Asian food products.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Pho Kim Long Vietnamese Pho<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally we found Vietnamese restaurant at Las Vegas Chinatown!\u00a0 We actually walked passed the restaurant because the big sign is hang way up.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Upon entering, we were being served to a table.\u00a0 Free ice water was immediately served less than 5 mins, service was fast and good.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

The restaurant is spacious, comfortable and lighting is bright and cosy.\u00a0 It was around 2 pm plus but still having plenty of customers.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Vietnamese Pho Beef Noodles<\/strong><\/p>\n

We ordered Vietnamese Pho combination beef noodle, served within 10 minutes.\u00a0 It has plenty of slices of beef, several beef balls, beef stomach and a big plate of pho vegetables & herbs.\u00a0 I love their generous basil leaves & raw bean sprouts.\u00a0 Overall the portion is super big, lots of noodles – may be 3 times bigger than Singapore size noodle.\u00a0 Cost less than USD $10.00<\/p>\n

Jalape\u00f1o instead of green chili<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over here in North America, I notice they use\u00a0Jalape\u00f1o instead of green chili.\u00a0 In Australia, UK, Singapore or Vietnam they usually use green chili.\u00a0\u00a0Jalape\u00f1o is\u00a0species Capsicum but taste hot.\u00a0Jalape\u00f1o also taste hotter than green chili.\u00a0 I guess\u00a0Jalape\u00f1o\u00a0 is easier to get as compare to green chili.\u00a0 As you know Jalape\u00f1o is one of the important food for Mexican and Mexican has\u00a0 a strong impact in California so using Jalape\u00f1o in Pho noodle make sense!<\/p>\n

America has better Pho than Vietnam!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, Australia and America serve better pho compared to the origin country – Vietnam.\u00a0 I have tried pho in Vietnam but quite disappointed with their ingredients, the slices of beef is too little and not good grade.\u00a0 More disappointing was their pho vegetable, the bean sprout is not fresh and you better don’t eat them raw if you are in Vietnam.\u00a0 I think American has better resources for beef and fresh vegetable as compared to Vietnam, that is the reason why America serve better pho.<\/p>\n

Pho has become the next Sushi in North America!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pho has become the next Pizza, Burrito or sushi in North America.\u00a0 You can see it everywhere, just like 7 Eleven.\u00a0 It has become so popular it serve almost every ethnic group in America.\u00a0 Everyone just love pho because it is the ultimate comfort food.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Vietnamese Spring Rolls & Pork Chop with White Rice<\/strong><\/p>\n

The other two dishes were Vietnamese spring rolls & Pork Chop with white rice.\u00a0 Both tasted awesome.\u00a0 The dipping sauce for Vietnamese spring rolls was awesome while the Pork Chop was well marinated with whatever source they are using.\u00a0\u00a0“Finger lickin good”.\u00a0 Total for the 3 items cost less than USD $30.00 including tips.\u00a0 Tipping is about 15 %.<\/p>\n

\"Chinatown<\/a><\/p>\n

Final thoughts :<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chinatown Las Vegas is only 2 miles away from the Strip Las Vegas<\/a>, if you arrived early, why not make a trip down here.\u00a0 5 stars for\u00a0Pho Kim Long Vietnamese Pho, must try their Pork Chop too!\u00a0 Chinatown Las Vegas also has few bakery shops so we got some of the Chasiew\/BBQ Buns & Polo Bun for breakfast tomorrow.<\/p>\n
