Looking for a true Vegas Hidden Gem? Look no farther! 😋🥢💲

I enjoy your descriptions and commentary but man I wish there were menu shots! I like to see what I might have ordered as well as what reviewers got

[@LetsEatVegas]

Sorry about that. Menus are a difficult issue. A lot of viewers would find time spent showing the menu boring and would probably turn away at that point. We were trying to provide links to the menu in the description area but many times it's hard to find an accurate menu online. What we've done instead is to make sure every item we show is correctly labelled (as it appeared on the menu in the restaurant the day we were there) along with the price we paid.

My most nostalgic Chinese American dish is cold ginger chicken and sweet and sour pork. I recently went to South Korea and had the BEST ever sweet and sour pork in my life! Now I’m trying to find an equivalent here in Vegas! Its batter is lighter, the meat more tender and the sauce doesn’t over power the dish.

[@LetsEatVegas]

Thanks for sharing! Have you tried Amlee's?

[@ronyano]

Chinese Garden Resturant in Montebello Ca has Almond (pressed) Duck plus alot of other Cantonese dishes.

[@LetsEatVegas]

We love pressed duck and Cantonese dishes...glad to hear there are CA restaurants serving this cuisine! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😁😁

[@AlanSenzaki]

It’s always about the chef. One of my favorite chinese restaurant in San Francisco dissapeared a few years ago. I was so disappointed. They had the best crispy fried ginger chicken. Also the best combination fried rice. Cooked with no soy sauce so it was white with great chicken flavor from chicken broth. It was clean and tasteful. I miss it so much, especially the crispy honey/garlic chicken dish. They also had fresh sautéed green pea shoots you can’t find in most restaurants. I often wonder where that chef went or if he retired.😢 Love your video!!

[@LetsEatVegas]

So many fine places are closing down these days, 😔. As for the chicken broth...that's an interesting comment because in an earlier video I suggested adding chicken broth to liven up the dish and we had a comment from someone saying that was crazy and not something you'd ever find in Chinese cuisine. Well, you can't please everyone, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@davidchung5885]

Great video! I will check out Amlee for sure, BTW, do you know any good place in vegas for champong spicy seafood noodle soup?

[@LetsEatVegas]

Hmmm, good question. I don't off hand but I'll be sure to keep my eyes open and let you know if I find that here in Vegas! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@rontoomey1187]

Everything I remember served during the 60's, 70's and 80's! Every dish looked awesome! The failure of your video review? Menu Pricing! The Lunch Special Cost?

[@LetsEatVegas]

The cost of every item is given within the video. Each section, such as the Mongolian Beef section, has a title and the cost is in parenthesis after the name. Thanks for watching!

[@aces7515]

Pressed duck 😱 Omg I haven’t had that in 50 years. You ordered everything I had when i was a child, all the dishes my parents would order. We’ll definitely have to go there. Thank you for the review, Sue

[@LetsEatVegas]

I know! It was like my culinary childhood all over again at Amlee. Based on the comments tonight we're not alone on this! Thanks for watching, 😁😋

[@MuscleMoversMN]

Phenomenal job. Love your channel. So professional and informative.

[@LetsEatVegas]

Thanks so much! The response to this latest video has been fantastic. Thanks for watching and commenting, 😁😁

[@willwyrms6965]

Great review. Yes a throwback restaurant. I am going to have to find it in a few weeks when I go to Las Vegas. Our local restaurant changed hands a couple times in the last few years. The last owners have brought back egg foo young, love it. Also sweet and sour pork, though not quite as good as i remember. The previous owners had gone to SS Chicken. Hope the SS Pork improves a bit. edit for grammar

[@LetsEatVegas]

Thank you! Amlee, the restaurant in this review, has had the same owners for the last 35+ years, so the food is authentic. Enjoy! 😋😋

[@appolop8273]

They look more like spring rolls than eggrolls. The wrapper is not the same texture as the eggroll wrapper. Sorry to correct you. Food still looks delicious,btw.

[@LetsEatVegas]

Interesting comment...first and foremost, we always use the words the restaurant uses so as not to cause confusion when our viewers go to the restaurant. Amlee calls these items Egg Rolls. The difference between egg rolls and spring rolls was a topic we originally discussed in this video but decided to leave out because we talked about too much other history in this video already and didn't want to overwhelm viewers. We plan to address this EggRoll/SpringRoll topic in a future video, so, stay tuned, 😁😁. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

[@mikiewifnoe360]

Press almond duck, good god, I like you. I have been looking for this for years now. I must make a trip to Las Vegas just for this.

[@LetsEatVegas]

I know! Where has Pressed Almond Duck been for the last 20 years?? Was so excited to find it at Amlee...and it was very well made. Enjoy! oh, and thanks for watching.

[@sallyyim4427]

You have me salivating...LOL! Brings me back to my childhood; growing up Asian and remembering all the great dishes of the past.

[@LetsEatVegas]

Our pleasure! Amlee is definitely a blast from the past, 😋😋

[@mikedeveau3200]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Z

[@LetsEatVegas]

You're very welcome! We went here again over the weekend...it's was great yet again, 😋😁

[@williamhansen5498]

[@anthonymarocco955]

Outstanding Presentation And Incredible Food I`m From Detroit And That Is Perfect Almond Chicken!

[@LetsEatVegas]

Glad you enjoyed it, and, good to hear this feedback from a Detroit Almond Chicken lover!

[@gailsiangco5599]

Delicious Chinese Food ! It really did take me back ! The Egg Fu Yong reminded me of my youth ! Thank you for sharing !

[@LetsEatVegas]

Thanks for watching! Same here...the Egg Fu Young was delicious!

[@90745al]

They still have 'old school' Almond Duck and all the other old Cantonese dishes at Fu Wing Low in Fountain Valley, CA

[@LetsEatVegas]

Darn, I was hoping you were telling me about a place in Vegas, 😔. But, thanks for the info for other viewers to know about this! I wish I were closer to Fountain Valley...I be there in a second!

[@bassethound1]

Omg War Shu Gai…. The almond chicken of my Detroit youth!!!

[@LetsEatVegas]

War Shu Gai! Yes, Amlee is making Detroit proud, 😁

[@kleptodathief3946]

creamy shrimp has my fancy! they have dat at panda xpress, pretty good imo there!

[@LetsEatVegas]

Hmmm, only ever tried a few things at Panda Express. Not sure I want to try the Honey Walnut Shrimp there, lol. Thanks for watching! 😁

[@geewizcw8821]

Oh, yum! Not to far from us. Can't wait to take our friends here. Awesome video!!

[@LetsEatVegas]

Great! Make sure to say hello to Lin. She is such a wonderful host and the food is excellent. Enjoy!

[@clairepierson15]

wow thats wonderful ty for the review and yur narriation

[@LetsEatVegas]

Thank you and thanks for watching, 😁😁!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

I moved to Vegas 2 years ago from Seattle and couldn't find almond fried chicken anywhere! I look forward to trying this but I do like a lighter colored gravy on it.

[@LetsEatVegas]

Yes, we were very surprised to find it at Amlee. As for the sauce, I suggest speaking with Lin and describing the sauce you'd like. Maybe they can accommodate? Would love to hear back from you on this!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

@LetsEatVegas Almond fried chicken was excellent! They made me a side sauce that was lighter. Tasty but not the gravy I was looking for but the chicken was perfect! I'll definitely be back

[@LetsEatVegas]

That's fantastic! I was there today and had the pressed duck. It was better than when I was there for the review, 😋😋. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

@@LetsEatVegas I'm trying the duck next time

[@vic-iv2ff]

There still a few restaurants that make pressed duck in Honolulu if you’re ever there

[@LetsEatVegas]

Wow, good to know. I don't have any Honolulu plans right now but I'll keep this in mind should my travel plans change. Thanks for the info!
