Completely served the traditional chinese way with bones made into soup. Impeccable service. Kids constantly drop their chopsticks. I didn’t have to ask for a replacement.

Tremella frondosa is an edible jelly fungus. In China, it is called huáng ěr (黄耳; literally "yellow ear"), and sometimes features in the vegetarian dish called Buddha's delight.

[@j228rod]

Derek, being Asian we gave Mott 32 a try one of the last times that we were in Las Vegas. Since we were a fairly large party, we were seated at a private dining room at the rear of the restaurant. We have had Chinese food in many different cities both in the U.S. and Canada. Honestly, I had a difficult time justifying those high prices since the food wasn't that much better than many of the better Chinese restaurants that I've been to. Try Ping Pang Pong at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino. It's usually filled with many Chinese people dining. Once you have eaten there, you'll understand why.

[@ambivalent1]

Looked at PPP menu, prices also killed me🤣☠️ I don't believe in charging that much when it's basic ingredients nothing like caviar or truffles etc. but I'm guessing rent is high & paying business costs so they gotta, passssssss😬

[@MegaChocolatetruffle]

I have eaten there! Good food at a reasonable price. I figured the cost of the meal on the strip restaurant was the equivalent of three nights of resort fees.

[@B2BRestaurantReviews]

My wife is Asian and she love this place. She’s eating that many Chinese restaurants traditional etc.. The problem is a lot of a few people go here expecting traditional flavors and dishes and when they don’t get them they say it’s not as good. Truth be told if somebody went and tried both traditional and 32 never having tasted Asian food. I’m sure the it would be mixed results.

[@electrictroy2010]

I’ve eaten at genuine Chinese or Japanese restaurants that were 99.9% asian customers. It’s good but not the same as “elevated” food from a top Chinese chef (like Nobu or Hakkasan). Better ingredients, better preparation, moist & juicy instead of dry & overcooked .

[@electrictroy2010]

ALL YOU CAN Vegas reviewed Ping Pang Pong twice, and liked it both times. Prices appear to be half Mott32’s prices .

[@Ih8GoogleandApple]

Why is their overly loud pop music playing in the most expensive Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas! If I was paying those prices I would request some noise canceling headphones

[@juleskazen7057]

It's right off the casino floor. Think slot machines and people playing as soon as you step out the door so the location has something to do with vibe and pumping you up to gamble. It is also not the highest price Chinese in Vegas. That is Wing Le @ Wynn and they have the opposite atmosphere. Great video IMO.

You’re supposed to bite or cut the top of the soup dumpling before you eat the whole think. You’ll avoid burning yourself and explosions.

[@dmotta2811]

I learned that the hard way 😂

[@Kwijiboi]

Keely on point! While you can pop the whole thing, assuming it's not too hot (or you will burn your mouth), some people will use chopsticks to pierce the dumpling while it's in the spoon so the soup is contained. Then, they'd sip the soup from the spoon, and then pop the rest of the dumpling into your mouth. For standard soup dumplings, you can add ginger and black vinegar into the dumpling skin and eat it that way. Stay awesome Keely!

[@RickyG225]
