So this little gem has 99 cent shrimp cocktails! I mean for a buck I wasn't going to pass it up!! A hair spicy on the cocktail sauce but otherwise delicious! read more

Try the Oxtail Soup Combo! Tucked inside the Fremont hotel in downtown Vegas, this little hole-in-the-whole, fast food, Panda-Express-like place fitted in perfectly with the rest of the downtown scene. No glitz, no frills, just an authentic, real, and delicious experience. Plastic utensils, wooden throw-away chopsticks, seating that would put Subway to shame...The staff was incredibly friendly, joked with us, and teased us as we asked them about the oxtail soup. Yes, that's right. Oxtail soup. We came here specifically to find this delicacy, and were not disappointed in the least. Tender, tasty, hunky meat that falls off the bone with the touch of a spoon. Topped with a good handful (or two if you're nice) of shiitake mushrooms and fresh-cut cilantro, this amazing meal befriends your wallet at a mere $7.95 (with or without white rice)! In conclusion, try the oxtail soup combo! read more

I am returning in 2018!!! when I stayed at Fremont Hotel, a customer told me that the oxtail soup with rice combo is KILLAZ!!!! so....I ordered it and went to my room and ate....for the next 6 nights, guess what was on my mind....and since the chinese "fast food section was tempting"....so be it! the counter staff can be so-so, but from where I am from, I am USED TO with that kinda attitude.....I seen WORSE...beleive me! Btw....I am NOT going to stand in a line of 20+ folks at the Cal at 1am in the morning for their oxtail soup....they probably are retired and gambling....me, I come for "working vacation". UPDATE!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the HELL HAPPENED???? your oxtail soup was AWESOME about a year ago....NOW, after ordering that once I arrived in Vegas, your oxtail meat is NOT TENDER!!! I gave it a 2nd try a few days later.....OMG!!!! even WORSE!!!! so guess what I did? I covered it up good and tied a bag around it and shoved it in my check in luggage after leaving it frozen in the fridge....I will bring it home to have it BOILED again in my kitchen!! One more thing...I am a customer of Vacations Hawaii and because my "working vacation" does NOT make me have time to go to a buffet....thus why I stop at your guys place....I am giving you my visitor $$$....I could go elsewhere but I like your food! So what if I came a day later for dinner again...plse do not poke fun at me (not ringing up my order promptly!!!)....besides, sites like Yelp and others DO inform patrons about the quality, quantity and the service. read more

I cant speak for any of their other food here except the late night breakfast menu egg sandwich with bacon. SERIOUSLY?!!!! Me and my friends had one (each) at 3:30 am, and it was THE most delicious egg sandwich this side of the rockies. The place doesn't look much more than a fast food chinese counter, but the eggs were fried, the swiss cheese melty, and the bacon crispy delicious, all served on a buttery piece of toast. OMG we actually went back the next night at 3:00am, YEAH IT WAS THAT GOOD. perfect comfort food for the drunken hearted. read more

Bad slow service. When you order a meal that comes with multiple items, you literally have to ask for the rest of your meal, when your combo comes with a drink, they do not give it to you, your have to tell them that you actually WANT your drink that you paid for. My friend who ordered before me asked for a glass of water, instead of charging her, she charged me, even though she knew we were paying separately. When I questioned the cashier/server, she acted like my concern about being charged for someone else's food was an inconvenience for her and would not make it right. So basically they try to rip you off in any way possible. On a sanitary note, no gloves worn and they handle the money and make the food without washing their hands. My suggestion is STAY AWAY! read more

Got to go here for oxtail soup, one of my favorites when I visit. Fast & easy to order & receive your food. Friendly staff, clean eating areas in an open space and watching people gamble. So enjoyable. read more

What made me get a high rating was the oxtail soup! Sooooooooooooo good. That is a must try. And also those huge ass hot dogs. Do the chili cheese way. One more thing is the steak and eggs for $6.99 is amazingly delicious. The only bad thing is that the workers are kinda rude but food makes up for it. read more

This is the best (probably the last) place to get a cheap shrimp cocktail! You can't beat 99cents. Its nestled inside the Freemont hotel next to a dunkin donuts. The giant chili dog is also a great deal, where else can you spend $5 and get full! Our go to quick place to grab a bite. Delicious!! read more

I honestly don't even want to post because I don't want this place to be packed... but then that'd just be cruel to keep this place just for myself. Oxtail soup is AMAZING!!! so good I literally came back for dinner! Yeah I know it's not your typical restaurant... it's fast food but trust me, this place for oxtail soup is legit! Sorry California hotel... I've found a new spot. read more

One of the best deals in Downtown!! Yes, go for the oxtail soup or the saimin. And who cares about the service! It's a fast food joint! And thank GOD, one of the few places in Vegas that still has late night specials, like breakfast items!!!!! Their Chinese food is OK. About the same as what you would find at Panda Express. And hands down, the best deal in town for a good footlong hot dog!!! It's a shame you can't find this on the Strip! I don't even know if Slots O Fun still has it. read more

Pretty cool little cheap place. For some reason every time we come here it's always way to packed to dine in. It might be because there are 3 other restaurants that share a dine in spot. It's darn hard to find a seat to eat at after ordering your food. Well almost every time we come to fremont street, we come to check this little joint out. They serve Hawaiian food here along with what my son always gets, the spam masubi. Every time I come here too I always order the same thing, 99cents shrimp cocktail.....yummmy. I also heard that their oxtail soup here is good to, but I've yet to try it. Besides the fact that it's hard to find a seat to eat your food, and how long the line is every time we come here (and sometimes, just sometimes they run out of spam masubis) but other than that food is good here and I will continue to come here when we go to Fremont St. 99 cent cocktail shrimp for the win! read more

Ox tail soup and 99 cent shrimp cocktail. How can you go wrong? The egg drop soup was great as well. :)

Fast food restaurant smack dab in the middle of the Fremont Casino. Inexpensive reliable food ranging from breakfast to Chinese food to hawaiian saimin - often very crowded as patrons are often slow to make decisions on what to eat, so the line backs up. Hours from 11am to 7am. They close for a couple hours after the early breakfast crowd. Highlights: Chinese plates for $5.99 - great deal, generous portions Hot dogs - huge dogs! Suitable for sharing. Shrimp cocktail - 99cent special with baby shrimp (note, spicy kick to the sauce!) Saimin - (for Hawaiians - akin to S&S brand saimin), -nice portion. read more

My friend drove all the way here from LA to get oxtail at California Hotel's cafe. Having had it 4 nights earlier I really wasn't looking forward to it. But we went and ate. It was not that good. It wasn't salty enough as Saturday, and the carrots, etc., were not cooked long enough. Some of the oxtail were chewy as the meat did not fall off the bone. Not to mention, the fat was not trimmed at all. I stared into a bowl of heart attack. So, instead of ordering a second bowl we decided to go for stop #2...Fremont Casino. My Hawaiian friend has been telling me about Fremonts competing oxtail for months but I've never dared diverge from the old reliable. It's been close to 10 years since I've eaten at the Fremont's Lanai Express cafe. If you want old Vegas, come here. You will reek of cigarettes like you were the poster child for chain smokers. The oxtail was not too bad. It's served in a classy Korean ramen plasticky bowl and a separate bowl of rice. The rice is really sticky and clumped together. I didn't bother to try it. The oxtail is cooked with cilantro on top, and shitake mushrooms. Problem is that the mushrooms probably would have enhanced the flavor but it was cold and thrown on it as garnish more so than taste, or else they would have cooked it in the broth. I did get 2 Heinekens for $2 tip as there were slot machines right next to the long line. So, as my friend waited, I played $0.05 poker. I was confused by the screens of 3-6 row poker and how to hold cards. I pressed all over the screen but nothing happened (I assumed it was touch screen, yeah?) So, the beer came before I even lost a nickel. Yup, this college grad got out-smarted by the numerous seniors chained to the machines who figured out how to lose their social security checks while I sipped a beer and stared dumbfounded at the screen. (Just as well, I won't get a SS check when I retire anyway. No need for the early practice.) Aside from a smallish bowl, plastic, and lacking the magic ingredient of ginger, the broth was tasty and the oxtails were generous. If you don't want to wait until 11pm, this is a viable alternative. It's not a restaurant environment like California so it's weird eating it amongst the hot dog eaters. Almost all of the the tables were sticky and had the previous occupants eating utensils. I was amazed at how many thoughtful people must have came before me who believed in recycling utensils for the next guy to sit down. Thoughtful. Not deserving of their thoughtfulness, we trudged to the Dunkin Donut side and planted our tookishes on there. I looked at other peoples food and it looks like they were pretty good and were large heaping portions. The foot long hot dogs used to be $1.50 for weiner and soda but it's now at $2.99 I think. The old $0.99 shrimp cocktail is still there, minus the celery that used to be underneath it looks like. It used to be served in a plastic wine glass and now it's served in a plain plastic urn looking contraption. Oh how the mighty have fallen, just kidding. So all in all, it was not a horrible alternative. It was pretty good but it's just too smoky. Personally, I hate smoke and try to avoid them whenever possible. California has been remodeled to look like the Golden Nugget, and doubled their air intakes, but Fremont is still panning for gold in plaid shirts and long johns. read more

The prices are good and the food is good too but if it's customer service that keeps you coming back don't waist your time I was ignored and put on hold so they could skip past me to help you he people behind me first . read more

Think Panda Express, cause that's pretty much what it is. Same kinds of food, same serving style. The Chinese food was surprisingly good and very inexpensive ($5.99 for 2 entree). After midnight, they start serving breakfast and for $5.99, you get a heaping portion of whatever breakfast items you want. They also have a hot dog and soda deal, which is insanely cheap. My brother lived on them the last time we stayed there. So, if you're looking for fast, inexpensive, but good food, this is the place for you! read more

wow, well lets just say it makes Panda express look like a fancy gourmet dinner. I was starving and i wasn't craving anything while i was walking down Downtown Las Vegas. Actually me and my girlfriend couldn't decide what to eat so basically we ended up here. We saw the chinese food and it looked alright and took a chance anyway. We also saw the .99 cent shrimp cocktails so we got one of those too. The chinese food was terrible, probably because it had been sitting on the heater for a while. The shrimp cocktail wasn't too bad and better than the chinese food. read more

Love this place. food is cheap but yummy. pack but the people in line are entertaining. They serve Hawaiian, Chinese, and American food here. Whole reason we come here my lil man loves their spam masubi's. If your a sucker for spam masubi's come early they run out pretty fast. read more

The oxtail soup is soooooo good. I don't know why they don't mark it as specialty. Maybe other food is just so so . but you gotta try the oxtail! read more

Lanai Express at Fremont Casino - Chinese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This place is hit or miss. A good place to get on the go meals/snacks for some what decent prices. I come here to get lunch every now and then and I usually get the Chinese plate combo. Not upset but a little disappointed, I ordered beef with broccoli and when I got back to my office, I had only ONE piece of beef in my meal. Their sweet and sour pork is always crunchy and tough. So if you ever try this place and get beef with broccoli be sure you tell them to put beef with it. With that being said, happy eatings! read more

For a quick light snack, who couldn't want a spam musubi? This place has just that, they also serve Chinese food individual portions or by the combination plate, they have breakfast food and some fruits. They are easily accessed just inside the Fremont Casino. The food is decent, prices are fairly cheap, and the spam musubi, well, go try it yourself! read more

We were starving at about 4AM and it didn't look like we had too many choices. Most of the snack bars were closed, even the shrimp cocktail bar at Golden Gate. My friend saw the sign for Dunkin' Donuts and got a craving so we headed into the Fremont. He got his donuts, but my other friend and I decided we wanted some hot food so we headed to Lanai Express. There was a bit of a line, probably because they were the only fast food at that time of night, and there was a guy begging for food. When the staff saw him, they immediately started yelling at him and called security who took him away. During late night, they do not serve Chinese food. You can still get the hot dog, shrimp cocktails, musabi, and a few other items. There is also a breakfast menu. The steak and eggs was pretty cheap, but it seemed like everyone was ordering that and since the steaks are cooked to order, there was a bit of a wait. We decided to get the breakfast plates instead. It consisted of 2 eggs, biscuit or bread, hashbrowns, and sausage or bacon. We went with the scrambled eggs since they had a big tray of those so we wouldn't have to wait for eggs. It didn't look like anything special, but it tasted a lot better than it looked. A pretty good deal for a cheap, fast meal. read more

Awesome snack-food and fast-food place! We wound up here while waiting out the midnight special at Tuscany, after arriving at 7PM. Blind luck, I saw the ad for 99 cent shrimp cocktail and decided to see if it was true. Was it ever! The shrimp are kinda small but you get plenty of 'em in a plastic cup. Cocktail sauce on the bottom so eat as much or as little as you want. What'cha want for 99 cents? This fit the bill well. But there's more! The jumbo hot dog is truly huge, and my kid loved it. $3.50 or so for a hot dog and soda. My wife had a pretty-good French Dip. There was more we didn't try, but it looked like you could come several times and not repeat a menu choice. This place is a good reason to come into the Fremont hotel and since they're treating you so well, why not stay and gamble a bit? read more

Must say. The Decuces combo is pretty decent and ok for its price. USD 3.99. Customer service is pretty ok given it is 4am. I'd eat here again read more

You can't go wrong with an edible $.99 shrimp cocktail in Vegas, right? You may not get too many shrimp and there's lots of sauce on the bottom to fill the cup but at least try this once if you're in the area. It's not amazing but come on it's a $.99 shrimp cocktail in Vegas, gotta try that at least once. read more

Sorry guys ,but dosnt matter how drunk you are ,food taste like sh... I like orange chicken but here disaster

Everything is awesome. The asian worker name drew is very friendly, fast worker and nice.

Update: they have changed the French dip special. It is now $5.99 for the sandwich and REGULAR fries (no more waffle fries, SOOO disappointing), no drink included now so you would have to pay for that separately :( It's not a big enough price difference to make me boycott their kickass French dip and fries but it's disappointing that there is no combo that includes a drink now. I have changed my mind on their "Chinese" food as well. I'm not imagining it, in all truth I get a really bad headache when I eat it. I don't know what they use to make it but it's happened numerous times and the only variable is eating that food. So no more Chinese entrees for me. The French dip is delicious and I've never had a problem with it. They still have a decent variety of foods and awesome breakfast specials from midnight til 7 am. Their breakfast potatoes and bacon are really good, and for lunch I sometimes get a chili dog or a chili bowl. Mm! read more

They could use some more healthy options, but they do have a fruit platter, in a pinch its one of the few healthy things you can eat on fremont street. However I go here usually to grab a spam musubi, or a graveyard special. Careful, the spam musubi is thrown into the microwave inside plastic wrap so its super hot when you get it. steam can burn! I like their chinese food too but unless you get the combo, its kind of expensive. footlong hot dog and coke is a good deal though. and after midnight specials. read more

Despite my mid range rating, I highly recommend this spot to anyone trying to stick to a budget... Which is near impossibly in Las Vegas I quickly realized. I shared the 2 entree combo, which came with rice, shrimp cocktail and a musubi. All were decent for the price. Our whole meal for two people cost us $12. Everything was lacking flavor, including the musubi which wasn't marinated at all... But still I was pretty into it. I wasn't even drinking... read more

Really bad dry stale bland food. Cornbread comes out cold. Hot dogs look contaminated. For the quality of food here everything should be $3.99 or less, especially the tired "Chinese food". One good thing - which makes it 2 stars instead of 1 was the chicken wings. Sure, they were deep fried from frozen but even that and the hot sauce they provide was better than the chinese food which is part of their namesake. Also nice honest employees who agree the hot dogs look bad. read more

I had the 2 choice meal with chow mein. The orange chicken was just alright and the beef broccoli was bland. The noodles were also pretty tasteless. Tables were plentiful and clean. Service was polite, friendly and quick. Even buying the meal with player club points seemed like a waste. There are better deals and food within walking distance. Do yourself a favor an don't be lazy.. find a meal worth your time. :) read more

I was hungry .. thought I'd try it.: looked good looked fresh.. the absolute worst food I've had.. the sweet n sour pork was dry and hard.. the rice and noodles tasted like mush.. the only half way decent thing was the chicken.. if u have mint to waste go here.. believe me when I say I have never given las than a 3 Star.. I'm usually easy going.. but the worst food I may have ever paid for. If there was a negative star it would get all five. I mean I couldn't even finish the food.. that's how bad.. I guess the only good thing about this place is it saved me carbs for the night. read more

Wow, people in Las Vegas must be on crack to give this place 3 stars. My 1 star is being generous. I stayed at the Freemont last year and on the first day just wanted to grab something quick to eat so I got some chinese food from here. This is the worst chinese food I have ever eaten. The egg rolls were disgusting. Actually, everything they served was disgusting. I ended up throwing the food away. Avoid this place at all cost. You better off starving to death then eating here. read more

Hands down the best oxtail soup here in Las Vegas!!!! The wait is short and you don't have to wait long like the Cal. Trust me head down there and try it!!!! read more

Offering everything from Chinese food to pizza to burgers, this eatery is good if you need something in a hurry and don't have high expectations. Quite frankly, I haven't dared try the Chinese food. I did have a cheeseburger and shrimp cocktail recently. The shrimp cocktail, at 99 cents, is a bargain and is much improved over the one I had here years ago. The burger was over cooked, and I had a fairly long wait to be served with my burger. read more

Just a Deli that sells $.99 shrimp cocktails. You'll have to wind through the casino to find it, but it's worth it if you like to budget.

Surprisingly affordable and hearty fare given that downtown prices are usually jacked up, also your source for late night owl specials to eat while surrounded by drunkies. Overnight $3.99 "The Deuces" special (11pm-7am) is all steam tray food that is very comparable to a Lee's Deli if you've ever been to one, but it's edible and they do give you a HUGE pile of everything. 2 sausage patties, 3 bacon strips and a huge amount of eggs and potatos or rice. Lots of other stuff for $5-6 as well including a burger/fries. During the day, burgers and Asian food with lots of stuff at the $5-6 price point. Also the .99 cent shrimp cocktails which somehow still exist in 2016. read more

I'm always be fan of Chinese cousin and when I've stayed in downtown motel sometimes participate a Fremont casino. So, the food was nice and very tasteful. Two item combo for $6.99 is a very affordable price for 2 items and one side. The cons. Two times when I ordered a deluxe hamburger and French fries there were just a little bit dry. read more

I loved the .99 cent shrimp cocktail! Shrimps are small, but there are plenty of them! The cocktail sauce was spicy, which I loved. I got in line just for this item. The workers are slow! Took me at least 12 minutes just to get my item. I wanted to enjoy my shrimp cocktail with my drink upstairs in my room, but my drink was half gone by the time I got upstairs! Still enjoyed everything though. read more
