MR CHOW

Open a can of Chef Boyardee and you'll likely enjoy it more than the noodles at Mr. Chow. It seems like the chef either lost their tastebuds or just doesn't care anymore. While staying at Caesar’s Palace, we remembered last minute that Valentine's Day required reservations, so after checking out other options in the hotel, we found an open spot at Mr. Chow at 8:30 - perfect! I was intrigued by the Valentine's Day menu, but the meal turned out to be quite disappointing. The only positives were the moving sculpture, the wonderful wait staff, and the delightful French chef who created an amazing dessert. At $550 for two? That's unbelievable!

Having been frequent visitors to Mr Chow in London, the Las Vegas location was a letdown. While the food was generally good, the highlight was supposed to be the duck. We decided on takeaway, only to find that the portion was mostly fat, tough meat, and bone, providing only about three pancakes worth of meat. Paying for such a disappointing dish felt unjustifiable. It's unclear if this was a way to offload an inferior duck, but it has certainly ensured that we won't be returning.

The atmosphere at MR CHOW in Las Vegas is truly top-notch, making it one of the most beautiful and entertaining restaurants in the city. The kinetic chandelier is a standout feature—silently graceful and undeniably unique. Be sure to check out the view of the Caesars garden and pool from the balcony behind the bar; it's worth a look. However, the food is quite average, with small portions that come at very high prices. On a positive note, the service is commendable, with professional and attentive wait staff. Despite this being a return visit, it's likely to be the last. $250 for a meal for two, with no leftovers, just doesn't seem worth it.

MR CHOW in Las Vegas left quite a bit to be desired. The portions were disappointingly small and the dishes themselves rather basic. Spending $100 on just two appetizers and three waters felt steep. A much better option is the Beijing Noodle downstairs—it's about 25% of the price of MR CHOW and you get at least 50% more food. The MR CHOW noodles in particular were underwhelming. The service was rather confusing, with different people attending the table every couple of minutes. It was difficult to identify who our server was from beginning to end. Overall, not the best experience.

The ambiance at MR CHOW is truly exceptional, making it one of the most stunning and enjoyable dining spots in the city. The kinetic chandelier is a particularly cool feature, adding a unique touch of grace to the space. Be sure to take a moment to admire the view of the Caesars garden and pool from the balcony behind the bar. While the service is top-notch with attentive and professional wait staff, the food falls short in terms of portion size and high prices. Although this was my second visit, it's unlikely that I'll return given the lack of value in a $250 meal for two without leftovers.

While Mr. Chow in Las Vegas was not the standout location, the food was decent. We tend to stick to our usual order no matter which location we visit: chicken satay, shrimp fried rice, fiery beef, walnut shrimp, vermicelli with lobster, and a lychee martini.
