Aranya

Aranya Thai Bistro
4195 South Grand Canyon Drive
Las Vegas, NV 89147-7171
(702) 243-1912

Oh boy oh boy! Another neighborhood Thai place NOT in Chinatown area. Love when we can save time and not have to drive all the way to Chinatown. Upon entering the restaurant, we were quickly greeted by the server and seated, [...]

The Maple Tree

The Maple Tree
6000 W. Spring Mountain Rd. (near Jones)
Las Vegas NV
(702) 362-5151

Two words. Fried bread. I think that was the best thing to come out of The Maple Tree. The ooey gooey sweet syrup and the warm and chewy bread hit the spot.

The other stuff was pretty alright, too.
1. The New [...]

Bachi!

Bachi Burger
470 East Windmill Lane
Las Vegas, NV 89123-1838
(702) 242-2244
www.bachiburger.com

With all these glowing reviews, we finally hauled our bootays over to the other side of town to try it. Boy, were we satisfied!

So, what does Bachi burger mean? This is what I got off their website -
“For us there is a dual meaning. [...]

Mother's Day Prix Fixe

Rosemary’s Restaurant
8125 W. Sahara
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Tel:702.869.2251
www.rosemarysrestaurant.com

This is my 3rd visit to Rosemary’s and this time it was for Mother’s Day brunch. There was only a prix fixe menu option on this day. So, you’ll see below the options that we had. I won’t go into too much detail because it wasn’t [...]

Nu Food

Nu Sanctuary Lounge
6605 South Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV 89119
(702) 527-7851
www.nulounge.com

Thinking that Nu Lounge was just another trendy fancy schmancy lounge with mediocre food, I was actually pleasantly surprised by all the different flavors and textures of all the food. Our group ended up doing family style with all different kinds of appetizers [...]

Got Robbed

Bar Masa
Aria Hotel & Casino
3730 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, NV
(866) 359-7111

Yes, it’s supposed to be another outpost of Chef Masayoshi and his famous Masa in New York, but somehow I can’t help but feel that we got seriously robbed. As evidence of an uncrowded Saturday night, I think other people realized this, too.

What [...]

They've got da grinds!

808 Hawaii Mixed Plate
775 W Craig Rd, Suite #148
N las Vegas NV 89032
(702) 642-5007

Yaye! Another hole-in-the-wall find! 808 Hawaii Mixed Plate opened about a month ago, and with the recommendation of friends, we went there for lunch.

Their menu had all the typical hawaiian foods, and here’s what we tried first:
1. Loco Moco [...]

Pho Saigon 8

Pho Saigon 8
5650 Spring Mountain Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 248-6663

After the flavor and texture fail of Pho Village, my fat girl senses sent me searching for a better Pho fix at Pho Saigon 8.

1. Pho Tai – Definitely much better quality of Pho broth. Beefy and satisfying
2. Goi Cuon – [...]

Pho Village

Pho Village
6820 Spring Mountain Rd
Suite C-111
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 696-1688

I also stopped in here Saturday after everyone seemed to be liking this place so much. They were raving about the cleanliness of the place. Agreed. They are also commenting on the great service, nice staff, and 10% off the check. Check, [...]

Mild Sushi Fever

Sushi Fever
(702) 838-2927
7985 W Sahara Ave Ste 105
Las Vegas, NV 89117

Turned off by the thought that it is indeed the trendy sushi place to be, but also attracted to it because EVERYONE says it’s sooooo good, I finally gave in and went to sushi fever.

Being in Las Vegas, I have incredibly low expectations for the [...]
