    Quesadilla de Chicharr-n ( with chicken instead)
    Juli R.

    First time coming to this Jose Andres cute fusion restaurant in the Cosmopolitan. Came for a fairly early dinner before show. Put our name in with the hostess and was told that we would have to wait 5 to 10 minutes, which seemed normal. While we were waiting inside, we noticed that there were a lot of empty tables and that other people were being seated as they were coming up to the hostess stand so we thought perhaps we got forgotten about. We did notice the hostesses and a manager walking around with iPads checking the availability of tables several times and then chatting in the corner prior to seating us. They finally sat us after hubby had to go remind them that we were here. Once we were seated, the service seemed a lot quicker, a lot friendlier and just initially a lot better. Unfortunately, because there was a FIFA World Cup game going on, the staff seemed to have their attention driven to the game versus inside the restaurant. Hubby had a quesadilla and I had spicy wonton dumplings we also shared chips and salsa - which is not free. I really wanted to love this place since I am a big fan of both cuisines. My dumplings were good but not great. I've definitely had better spicy wonton dumplings in any Chinatown. My husband's quesadilla - which they happily swapped out chicharron for Chicken- was beautiful to look at, but did not have much flavor. I would say if you want an average meal this is a good place to go since it's maybe a step above fast, casual and a step below fine dining. Their chips and salsa were definitely habit forming.

    Hongos taco (comes with a side of guacamole)

    We came here for dinner since we were staying at the Cosmopolitan and they have a vegan options. It has a Mexican Chinese fusion menu. We ordered the Guacamole starter, which was made table side and to our liking, a couple of Hongos tacos, and the 18 Monk plate. The food came out pretty quick and tasted amazing, particularly those mushrooms! The service was great too: attentive and helpful. This place is great to have a nice meal and conveniently located within the hotel by serval other food spots. Indoors there is plenty of seething. Overall, I would come back!

    We loved it! Food was soooooo good and we had a great evening here! We got some reservations beforehand which was probably a good idea. Yuri was our waitress and she was great! She explained everything well and she was very professional. Food was just top level amazing! The noodles to the queso and the buns....sooo delicious and full of flavor! Now not not everyone is going to like it. Some of them were pretty spicy. However my husband and I like spicy so we were in Flavortown! The spicy wontons were probably the spiciest so if you're against spice, I would definitely stay away from those. But they were also soooo delicious for us! The Dan Dan noodles were also really good. The queso was great but I think we've probably had slightly better. Great ambiance here so enjoy the portraits changing on one of the walls as well as the great mix of Chinese and Mexican ambience. Definitely would return!

    Ive been here a fee years ago and came back to try it again. I love this place and the food is so delicious. If you are looking for a place to go to this is it. Make sure you make a reservation, this place gets busy. The restaurant is inside the Cosmo hotel. First time getting the oxtail and it exceeded my expectations. All there food is super yummy. This soup is on top of my list. I can eat it everyday. I would most definitely recommend this place for sure. I can't wait to go back. Service was excellent and the vibe is good. Easily to talk and its not loud inside at all but it gets busy. Make that reservation now.

    Beautifully decorated room in the lively Cosmopolitan. Service was good, some staff a bit curt but everyone knew the menu well. We were seated at a six-person U-shaped table, which made it hard to converse across, but that was the only real gripe. The food was excellent. The salsa and guacamole were fresh and delicious. The taco de carnitas was one of the highlights of the night, tender and moist with a great chicharron topping. The shrimp in black garlic and chile sauce was an outstanding bite with deep, complex flavor. The Caesar salad with Spanish anchovies was divine. The coconut ceviche was another favorite and genuinely surprising. If you did not read the menu you would swear it was fish, with just a light coconut finish that perfectly balances the citrus. The only dish I was not as excited about was the twenty vegetable fried rice, as the raw greens on top threw off the texture. I would have preferred everything cooked through, though it was still good. Overall a fantastic tasting menu and a spot worth seeking out.

    Came in little after lunch time on a holiday weekend. Waited 25 min. But had so many open tables? Maybe for bigger groups? Medium level pop music playing. Little bit dim with red-ish lights and clear lights We're very familiar with Chinese food and have eaten Mexican before. Suggestions from waiter were too typical American: chips and salsa? Really? For a fusion place? We ordered: empanadas de Atun, quail egg Sui Mai, Quesabirria tacos, 1 nopales y queso taco, mango sticky rice. empanadas de Atun- masa was done very well, but didn't get much tuna. Quali egg- too salty, but prepared well. Quesabirria- best dish of them all. Enough meat and stuffing, Nopales taco was nice- almost mistook the cheese for some sort of meat, really heavy. Cactus was nice. Mango sticky rice was surprising as there really is no sticky rice. Not much mango either. Mango a little unripe. Overall, didn't feel like the food was fused. More like a restaurant that serves Chinese and Mexican food. I read thru the 2 suggested food groupings and they didn't suit me. I felt the suggestions were waayyy too Americanized for my taste. Maybe menu designed more for visitors from places like Idaho, Cleveland? Overall, will not be back. Too many places in Vegas to try. I'm being picky about the flavors, but overall the quality, safety, plating we're all done well.

    Food is quite disappointing. Ordered a bowl of wonton noodle, a carnitas taco, Barbacoa Taco and Sopes de Chorizo con Papa. All the dishes were all pretty bland and lack of bold flavors. Nothing really stood out to me. For a restaurant by Jose Andres, I expected more memorable flavors

    This place is so good!! The nopales tacos were my favorite. I stayed at the Cosmopolitan for a conference and went there 3times during my stay The first night we had the camarones al mojo de ajo negro, pork ribs and Dan Dan Mian. The 2nd day I just ordered 3 nopales tacos to go. They were still fresh and not soggy when I got back to the room. 3rd time I tried the sopes de chorizo con papa (they might seem tiny but they are filling and so damn delicious) and of course I had a few nopales tacos, too. I was able to buy some of their tortillas and they held pretty well during the flight. I dont remember the name of our first bartender but he was really friendly. The 3rd time I was helped by Tina who was also very friendly and attentive and she made me an

    Salt foam margarita so good
    Scott R.

    We were at the cosmopolitan and looking for a quick bite to for lunch and walked into China Poland. We checked in and sat at the bar. This place had a great ambiance china mexican fusion vibe. We ordered a salt foam margarita which was excellent and the food and the service were exceptional. Definitely highly recommend this place and can't wait to return in our next visit!

    Hearing about raving reviews of the Food Court at the Cosmopolitan, we can across China Poblano, which was a Chinese/ Mexican cuisine fusion. The place was clean and nicely decorated; friendly service. Ordered the Quesabirria, When Pigs fly Pork Steamed buns, Kao Lao Lao, and topped our meal with the Mango Sticky Rice Dessert. Everything was made fresh on the spot, food was tasty. The Mango Sticky Rice dessert was a surprise! I was expecting the traditional sticky rice and mango, but love their concept of rice ice cream, fresh mangos and rice Krispies. It was delicious! Will definitely come back to try other dishes. Highly recommend if ever in Vegas!

    Salsa and chips
    Liza M.

    This location came as a recommendation from a friend. The chef is a James Beard winning chef so I knew it would be worth it. We ordered chips and salsa which was not complimentary. $6 for it but it was so good and so were the chips which seemed homemade. My daughter ordered dumplings which didn't look like enough but I ordered the caldo with the chipotle on the side. Good thing cause it was spicy. It was hearty. Chicken, garbanzo beans, carrots, sliced avocado on top, it was delicious. Which it came with bread or a tortilla but it was great. Too much for me so I shared with my daughter. We ordered the mango sticky rice for dessert. This is where I was disappointed but didn't prompt me to leave a bad review. I was expecting rice, there was none. Mango was very little, a bit of mango sauce and a whole lot of whipped cream on top with toasted Rice Krispies (not the rice I was expecting) for a whopping $12 for whipped cream, a few tiny mango pieces and sauce. Don't order it you'll be disappointed. There were other dessert options. It was cool inside. Decorations were nice and was a great place for dinner overall.

    Papa Taco - veggie taco. Not bad.
    Ani J.

    This restaurant is located inside the Cosmopolitan hotel, opposite the Chandelier bar on the top level. It's a combination of Asian and Mexican cuisine. We went there for lunch and after a wait of 20 minutes, were let in. The food is ok. Not a lot of vegetarian options I felt. - The chips and guacamole were good. - Veggie Fried Rice was good. - Papas (veggie taco) was a bit bland for me. I only ordered one. The potato didn't have any seasoning. Could have been better. Definitely worth trying it out. The ambiance and vibe is very cool. There is another Mexican restaurant at the hotel called Amaya, which is great.

    My mom and I were walking around the restaurant area at the Cosmopolitan when we stopped in front of China Poblano. The concept immediately caught our attention... who doesn't love Chinese and Mexican food? They're two of my favorite cuisines, so we were excited to try it. Unfortunately, we left pretty disappointed. The food wasn't terrible, but it felt surprisingly underwhelming and lacked the authenticity and flavor we were hoping for. Everything just tasted like it was missing something. Service didn't help the experience either. Our server was rarely around, and after my mom ordered a Coke, we ended up having to ask another server about it because ours never came back. By the time the drink finally arrived, we were almost finished eating. We started with the "Swallow a Cloud" wonton soup, but the broth was so salty. I could only manage a couple of bites before giving up. We also ordered the har gow dim sup. The shrimp filling was decent, but the wrapper didn't taste as fresh or delicate as the dim sum I've had in other places. The only dish we really enjoyed was the lo mein, though that's also a dish that's pretty hard to get wrong. Overall, there are plenty of better dining options at the Cosmopolitan that offer more value for the price. We really wanted to like China Poblano because the concept is so fun, but the execution just didn't live up to our expectations. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

I stopped by for lunch, and the place was packed, which is always a great sign. Even with the lunch rush, the service was quick, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the BBQ pork rice bowl and the wonton soup, and both were absolutely delicious. The BBQ pork was flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the rice. The wonton soup was comforting, with a rich, savory broth and fresh, tasty wontons that really hit the spot. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and full of charm. It's one of those hidden gems tucked away in a strip mall that you could easily overlook, but it's worth seeking out. Now that I've experienced it, I can see why it's so busy. Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes!

My first impression was really positive. The restaurant has a modern, stylish vibe, and the interior is beautiful. I also loved the tableware--the plates and chopsticks were really nice and added to the overall dining experience. We had a large group and reserved the private dining room, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. As for the food, it was decent but didn't really stand out, especially for the price. We ordered around 8 dishes (you can see them in my photos). The crab was a little disappointing because the meat was quite dry. On the other hand, the fried eggplant and the king prawn were both excellent and ended up being the highlights of the meal. The rest of the dishes were good, but nothing really wowed us or made us feel like we'd come back just for the food. Overall, I think you're paying a bit of a premium for the beautiful environment, modern atmosphere, and comfortable dining experience. If you're looking for a nice place for a family gathering or dinner with friends, this is a solid choice. The ambiance definitely adds to the experience, even if the food itself wasn't especially memorable.
