    Beef roll
    Kimberly H.

    We have been wanting to try this place forever but have been sleeping on going. Now my regret is why it took us so long!? The chicken chow mein, crispy beef and spicy wontons were next level in my opinion. My husband loved the soup dumplings and beef roll. What I loved most is you can tell they use real, good ingredients. We didn't leave there feeling weighed down or gross. I'm so happy that there's a Henderson location and I can get all these items there also. It's somewhere we will definitely be back! In fact we've already told our out of town friends that this is a must go to!

    China mama is always a must stop when I visit Vegas. The service is great, the food is top tier and the ambiance was great as well, great presentation and very clean

    Crispy beef
    Randy C.

    I have been told for years that China Mama was special. After one visit we agree. As you can see in the video my wife was practically licking the bowl lol. I have wanted Mapo Tofu for a long time but never pulled the trigger. It was delicious. Had that fermented funk from the Broad Bean Paste and silky tofu with minced beef and lots of oil and spices. Especially the Mala numbiness from the Sichuan peppercorns. It wasn't as numbing as the Verbena at the Chandelier Bar but spicy enough. We both loved it. Also tried their Crispy Beef which practically melted in your mouth. The Combo fried rice was good but probably unneeded as we took almost all of it home. We will be back for sure

    I'm making my way through all the Chinamama locations - this is the first one I visited and is still my favorite so far. The first time we ordered the duck, fried rice, the salted egg yolk prawns, noodles, the eggplant (my favorite). I loved everything except the duck. I did not enjoy that as it was a little too far from the roasted duck I was expecting. The service is friendly for a Chinese restaurant and the food comes fast and piping hot and I really enjoy that you can see the chefs making your food. It really adds to the ambiance and know that your food is freshly made. After watching some videos of what other people liked to order, I decided to get the crispy beef and that single dish is life changing. If you order nothing else at chinamama, order the crispy beef. Its sweet. Its savory. Its crispy. Its honestly perfect. If I were to only eat that and the eggplant for the rest of my life, I would be happy.

    My friends and I came here for a Saturday since we were craving some Chinese food. Parking was a bit difficult to find, but we got lucky with a spot. We decided to get order a bunch of dishes to share among the five of us. We got the mapo tofu, Beijing beef, and other dishes that I can't remember off the top of my head. I thought the meal was very yummy and definitely had that traditional taste. I really like the mapo tofu since it had great flavor and wasn't super spicy.

    This one i liked better than noodle papa. Ive been here so many times but finally found the pics for them. Lol! Its super popular here for reasons I don't understand. The food isnt crazy flavorful but the dishes that I love, hits the spot every time. The won tons are good and my favorite scallion pancakes is just yum! The fried rice isn't too bad either. I don't come here often as I end up waiting a bit, but it has been years since I've been here. It feels like a place where you just eat quickly and leave even if sections of the restaurant looks fancy, i still get the feeling of that chinese rush. I thought of this place bc they've become famous now with a location on the strip called "spring" by China mama and another at the palace station with their original "china mama". I most recently tried hao chi and I loved the flavors there, so I can only pay homage to the original!

    Went out for lunch and ordered the crispy beef, house fried rice, stir fried green beans, and wonton soup. Service was fast upon arrival as were seated immediately and had our order taken. Haven't been to the original location so it surprised us how big it actually was inside. Food was consistent with flavor no matter the location!

    China Mama is my go-to spot whenever I am craving Chinese food in the Vegas area. While it is a primarily American Chinese restaurant, they have traditionally Chinese food choices that are sure to please all kinds of crowds. When I made a reservation for 10 people, they were accommodating to our group even when we were a few minutes late. It was a clean establishment and with excellent service. All the things we ordered were flavorful and I would order these dishes again. We did family style and ordered the following: Honey Walnut Shrimp, Mamas Special Fried Rice, Mama Mapo Tofu, Pork Joint Stewed With Rock Sugar, Beef Rolls, Crispy Pork with Mama Special Sauce, Salt and Pepper Fish, Green Beans and Soup Dumplings. Every time I am in Vegas, I always make it a point to go to China Mama. While some may say it's Americanized Chinese food, the food doesn't use too much oil and I'm sensitive to oily foods! Excellent service, flavorful food, and great spot for a group

    Honey walnut shrimp and salt and pepper pork chops. There are little bones in some of the pork chops, but that's usually normal.

    Went to China Mama in Shanghai Plaza on a Wednesday around 5:30 p.m. I have been to the one at Palace station and I feel the portions and the prices were better here. The one in Palace station definitely feels more upscale, but this one was still really nice. The decor and atmosphere were really nice with high ceilings, comfortable seating, and a window where you can watch into the kitchen, which added a cool touch. One thing to know is that reservations are only available ahead of time for groups of six or more. Luckily, it wasn't too busy when we arrived. We put our name on the list and were about fifth in line. The wait estimate said 12 minutes, but we were seated in closer to eight. We ordered the Mama's Special Fried Rice, stir-fried green beans, salt and pepper pork chops, and honey walnut shrimp. The green beans and walnut shrimp were definitely the highlights for me. Both were really flavorful and cooked well. The fried rice was good, just not anything especially memorable compared to the other dishes. The salt and pepper pork chops were decent, but I personally would've liked them a little crispier and a bit saltier. Service was good overall, and the atmosphere made it a really enjoyable dinner spot. Definitely a place I'd go back to try more dishes.

    I have been wanting to go to China Mama for so long. I finally made it and I was happy that all the recommendations were true. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated. They were friendly and attentive. We ordered some appetizers. The pork soup dumplings. It was filled with a delicious broth. The pancake with scallions was simple but crispy and tasty. The wontons were a bit spicy but was so flavorful. The main dishes were absolutely amazing. The fried rice had mixed of delicious slices of meat. The crispy beef was my favorite. Wow, the flavors were so addictive. I wanted to eat it all. The crispy duck was also delicious. I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes.

    If you're looking for authentic and delicious Chinese food, you have to try China Mama! They have a couple of locations but this is the original they made some renovations which came out so nice. The restaurant is clean with a great atmosphere. The food is amazing and came out so fast. My favorite dish is the walnut shrimp but honestly everything on their menu is delicious. Our waitress was Sammi, was incredibly friendly and attentive, she made us feel like VIPs. Definitely one of our favorite date night spots, and we'll definitely be back!

    Maritza F.

    The food was delicious. I can see why there is a wait. Totally worth it. The service wasn't the best but it was super busy so it's understandable. Our server was everywhere trying her best. I would totally go back.

You'll find Noodles off the casino floor near the Baccarat Bar. On a Sunday evening, I had no trouble getting in without a reservation. While there are noodles from several cuisines on the menu, don't be put off if you're looking for something besides pasta and broth. There are things to explore and old favorites: Chinese, Thai, Malay, Japanese. They have a good selection of teas. And dim sum, too. As it happens, I did have noodles: I can recommend the Singapore noodles, which had a nice curry flavor plus just a little heat. There was plenty of barbecued pork and veggies in the dish. I was impressed with it and look forward to coming back to try some of their other dishes from cuisines I'm less familiar with. That's the advantage of a place like this: You can easily find something safe, but also try something new. The ambiance is upscale without being oppressively fancy, if you know what I mean. A lot of red, white and black. It's nice, but you won't feel weird if you're casually dressed. Comfortable seating. Attentive service.

While they were good, the noodles were not at all spicy as they are supposed to be. I was not asked what level spice I wanted as I have in other restaurants. There were a few pieces oif shrimp, but less than I would expect. The noodles were good and I enjoyed them but I was a bit disappointed by their non-standard flavor and protein amount. Service was excellent. Our server was good enough to give us separate checks. They use the checkout devices that you are given at the table and you add any tip and then tap or Apple Pay.

It is located in a strip mall with an abundance of convenient parking. Inside, they had nice tables and bench seating and also had a couple of nice sized round tables with lazy Susans for larger families. We arrived around 7:30-ish and it was quiet with one or two other parties dining. Their take-out business appeared to be robust, which was a good sign that they must be doing something right with their offerings. Menu is pretty standard fair. Noodles in broth with beef shank, various dumplings, rice plates and dry noodle dishes. We started with the deep fried spring rolls which were tasty. The wrapping was very thin and delicate and had a nice crunch for each bite. There are six in an order, which is a great value. Wife ordered the Lucky Beef Noodle which has a mildly spicy broth. She asked for half the normal amount of noodles, as she feels that the noodles end up soaking up a lot of broth. I ordered the Beef Soup with Dumplings, which is basically what my wife ordered without the noodles. I wanted noodles added, so they were gracious and added the noodles my wife did not want to my order. The broth was flavorful and mild, not much of a kick. But the pork and cabbage dumplings included in my order were out of this world delicious and paired perfectly with the beef and its broth. I highly recommend this specific dish! If you are in search for Taiwanese food, give them a shot. Good quality, fresh food that is nicely flavored!

    1 STAR -- WAY TOO MUCH HYPE…read more Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in Las Vegas. The Magic Noodle is ridiculously overhyped. I went in expecting something special because of all the reviews, but the food was nowhere near what I expected. The noodles are supposed to be the star, but mine were nothing magical. The broth was overly salty, the flavors were disappointing, and the overall meal just felt mediocre. Some of the meat was excessively fatty, and for what you're paying, I expected a much better experience. The wait and the overall experience made it even worse. For a restaurant that gets this much hype, I expected better food, better consistency, and better service. The noodle-making is interesting to watch, but honestly, that's about the only "show" worth mentioning. A restaurant shouldn't be able to rely on people watching noodles being pulled while the actual meal leaves you disappointed. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but based on my experience, I absolutely would not go out of my way to eat here again. There are plenty of better noodle spots in Las Vegas where the food actually lives up to the hype. 1/5. Overhyped, disappointing, and definitely not worth the wait.
