Atmosphere - It is a truck there is not much to say. The counter was easy to talk to the guy. Also the drinks were right under the counter which you ordered at behind a Plexiglas sliding windows. You can grab a cold soft drink right there. Food Lunch - The menu is typical American style Chinese food. I order the #6 with Beef. Okay the full name is Mongolian Style with Beef. Mongolian dishes are typically spicy and this one did not let me down. There was so serious heat going on and I enjoyed it. The container was about half Mongolian Beef and the other half was white rice. You can have fried rice instead. For me there was too much rice for me to finish, I am stuffed now. A solid meal but not mind blowing. Service - The turnaround time was fast Future - I would go back for a meal.

Hubby and I got to try Shanghai-Express Food Truck during the Reno Food Truck Iron Chef…read morecompetition. The secret ingredient was potatoes. Shanghai-Express had two tasty potato creations that worked as one dish. They had some amazing fried potatoes that I cannot tell you what was on them, but it was a wonderful example of how they really know how flavors, spices, etc work together. They also had what looked like a little slaw, but was a salad that had spiralized raw potatoes as the star. This was actually my favorite part of their dish and it was just so clever! They obviously know how to think outside the box and present taste sensations. I'm looking forward to checking them out sometime when they have a full menu.

I found these pickles and carrots at a local Raley's market (Golden Valley). I have been wanting some for awhile. They are a great snack! I have wanted something crunchy, but not a chip.

Tried out nevada brining on national pickle day and visited their pickle palace!…read moreI am a pickle connoisseur so I had high expectations for this place, and they definitely lived up to them! First off, Matt, Stacy and team, you guys are amazing! Super warm customer service. Matt took the time to explain every option of pickled goodness they had. Running your own business takes time and energy, so to give such awesome one on one time with a new customer is definitely noticed and appreciated. Matt and Stacy definitely know what they're doing, and they're kicking ass at it. Onto the goods.... O m g there's plenty of them. Whether you're a typical dill fan, bread and butter, or like a little spice, they've got it all! Not to mention other vegetables in addition to cucumbers. The pickles are also already sliced giving some easy options. I went with two jars of valley or the fire pickles, which are bread and butter and then brined with some hot sauce. I also got curry brined cauliflower and ginger brined carrot sticks. Yum! None disappointed In addition, they also have rubs! Prices are very reasonable considering these are locally produced. Put down that vlassic and drive down to the pickle palace and get something that your tastebuds will thank you for!

Ordering is easy and convenient. Pick up at Bassett always goes off without a hitch, and for really big orders, they'll deliver to your home, too. I like the variety we get with our beef boxes, and everything is vacuum sealed, labeled and marked with weight, too. Take a look at the pics! This allows for easy storage and identification. I've always kept a list of what I have for a freezer "inventory" of sorts, and this makes it easy and convenient. Their bacon & sausage & Berkshire pork boxes are BOMB, too. Grass fed & finished beef is my choice for feeding my family a quality product without hormones or antibiotics, and we are happy to be Alpine Ranch customers! We've recommended them to family and friends and I know you'll like them, too!

This is a cool little company. (Pun intended... ) They take things such as candies, fruits,…read moreveggies, etc., and freeze dry them down into shelf stable treats. They sell at places like festivals, craft fairs, farmers markets throughout the area, they also sell in some stores around the Reno area, and you can also find their products online. I found their booth at the Labor Day weekend nugget rib festival in Sparks. The people that were running the booth were friendly, helpful answered any questions I had. They had quite a selection. They had the fruits, they had freeze dried candies, such as nerds, Gummies, chocolate candies, etc. They even had freeze dried, jalapeño, but that's something that I'm not into. I tried a couple of samples, and ended up buying two items. I bought the freeze dried M&M's, and also the freeze dried milk duds. They were both amazing. They were all puffed up, so they were light, airy, and definitely delicious. The milk duds actually tasted like milk, duds, and the M&M's had little M&Ms embedded in the candies. The price was reasonable. The only downside, is that these things are addictive. Once you crack open a container, it's not going to last long. But that's because they are so good. I live in the Sacramento area, so I'm going to have to pull up their online store, and find some more neat things to try. Thank you so much.

I ended up purchasing a smaller bag of wild berry skittles and a bigger container of mixed gummy rings. I liked the fact that they carried smaller bags for under 5.00 so I could try them. The gummy was a nice mix so I could try one of each of the 4 flavors in one conatiner. And the larger container was under 10.00. Both prices were very reasonable compared to other booths that I have seen at other shows. I see that they are local in Sparks, NV. They told me their favorite was the caramels... so I might have to try those next. The pics I include did have more candies in them.. but we ate a lot of them.

She first had a taste of them when one of her coworkers brought some to work one day and she'll crave for it once we're close to Boomtown. What's so special about their kettle corns compared to everyone else? That I can't tell you. To me, all kettle corns pretty much taste the same from vendor to vendor. At least here, you know you're getting a fresh batch every time as he makes them on the spot. Now unless they add different flavors that makes it unique and stand out from the rest then I can tell you that it's worth it. Then what so special about this place? The Man (notice I capitalized the M in Man) working inside makes it with love. He's also a good Man with a good heart, a good character and a friendly, inviting, warm and kind soul. Knowing that the product that he made with his own hands, blood, sweat and tears gives it all the difference. NOTE: He's only open on the weekends during the winter and depending on the season and weather. He should be open during the weekdays during the summer and peak time. It's located outside Cabela's right off of I80 in Boomtown. One bag is $6 bucks and two bags is $10 bucks. Do the math. Cash Only.

I was ECSTATIC to see she sells Nevada Brining Company pickles - handcrafted in the Silver State - Wahoo!! I just watched a story on channel 2 news about this start-up pickling genius and it was on my list to check out. Fell into my lap visiting this boutique. I bought the Boozy Pickle with Whiskey and Fresno Peppers and the fast selling Ruby Red Onions Sweet & Sour. Prices are reasonable and lower than what other outlets charge for this popular pickling company. I can't wait to try the cauliflower when she gets it from the manufacturer. I appreciate the attention to detail wrapping each jar in purple gift wrap paper and placing into a crafty gift bag. I'm coming here for a last minute gift ideas! Really convenient they take plastic considering how small this establishment is. What's cash? Next time, I'm going for the red spicy salt for Bloody Marys!
