I came here on a previous trip to Vegas and thought the food was ok. I decided to give it a second try, but was once again disappointed. The teriyaki chicken had little flavor and was very fatty, the orange chicken did not convince either. The only acceptable item was the chow mein. The only reason this place deserves 2 stars is for its friendly personnel and the low prices. read more

nice staff..disgusting food. I had an upset stomach after eating that crap.

Went to this place and the food was good with reasonable price. There were plenty of options and if you get overwhelmed, the staff are super friendly to help you out with any questions. There is a guy named Drew and he was very friendly to customers. A plus if you're hangover or hangry! The location is convenient for a quick stop for food. read more

I think for a place to eat it suffices, it's not horrible, but nothing so spectacular as to write home about either.. It's unapologetically bland, in service, taste, and decor. I had the oxtail soup, because I was having joint pain, and the gristle is supposed to be like natural glucosamine and chrondroitin.. Anyway, I digress.. it was barely fall off the bone. Not tender, maybe I had the first of a new pot. It was a lot of work and sticky afterwards. Tired from being up all night I think most people would not be up for it. I was in for some work. Paid $10 for it too.. Maybe should have had it at the California Casino instead.. I don't recommend it unless you need to eat immediately to get back to your table or game. Maybe any of the egg combos would fare better. They made a girl an omelet of some sort while I was there. The breakfast combo I thought was a bit steep. It's not cheap, but not expensive. The days of deals in Vegas seem to be gone.. read more

Enjoyed the 99 cent shrimp cocktails. Nothing is as good as a 99 cent shrimp cocktail at three in the morning! That is until I got to the damn horse shit radish!! I thought my brains were gonna drain out of my nose. I guess somebody thought it might be funny to be very generous with that. Not cool. Nevertheless, I am a trooper and I love a good deal so I will be back for more next time I'm over there. I'll be on the lookout next time for the green stuff. read more

Went to this place for lunch. Had a 2 combo meal with half fried rice & noodles & beef brocolli & sweet & sour chicken. Food was ok. It came with a drink. Drink refills aren't free. Rip off. California doesn't charge for refills. Noodles were bland. It was just ok. read more

If could pick a number lower then one it would have to be a -10 because for one the staff here is dirt slow. I never seen a restaurant with one or two people in line but still takes a hour to get your food. Second the food here is completely trash like if I had a choice to here or literally food off Fremont st I'll pick Fremont st. read more

It's decent food downtown, but the service is lackluster half the time and the chow mein is either dry or super soggy.

Cheap and good food. Had the chili dog this time. What a deal $3.99 for a huge chili dog. Tasted pretty good too. They also have Chinese food here. read more

Horrible!! We ordered orange chicken and what they called sweet n sour chicken. Both were horrible, so we just threw them away and went elsewhere. Scary place to eat. read more

Not too good, either food or value. "Deuces" eggs and potatoes not cooked very well. Sausage patties loaded with filler. By comparison, coffee outrageous in price, with no refills! Imagine a breakfast for $3.99 and non refillable coffee for $1.99. Definitely not a good deal for cafeteria food. read more

Not the worst food that I've ever had, but quite far from the best. It was greasy and my broccoli was cold. Mushrooms had an odd texture. I wouldn't eat there again if I had a choice. The orange chicken and fried rice were good, but I wouldn't recommend the noodles. They offer sushi. It looked like it has been there for days. They do have food other than the Chinese food. read more

Our family friend recommended eating the oxtail soup here. They claimed it was just as good as the California's Market Street Cafe. Me, being very defensive about my oxtail soup from the California as the best I've ate, was taken for lunch by my grama and uncle. Anything free tastes great in my book! So, when my bowl of oxtail soup came I was excited. The first thing i noticed when I opened my bowl (it came in a container), was that there was a lot of shiitake mushrooms and a good amount of fresh cilantro. It smelt amazing too! Ok, at this point I was pretty impressed. I open my chopsticks and now I'm ready to dig in.....well, this is where my "in awe" kinds of stops. Now, I've already waited at a table for about 15 minutes for a line of about 7 people and I waited even longer for the food to reach my mouth! The oxtail was a bit hard to get off the bone (sad face). So I did as my uncle did, grabbed it by the tail, and man handled the meat off with my lipstick smeared mouth. It came off surprisingly easy which just made me mad that maybe the restaurant gods didn't want me to eat it. Oh well~ Now before I forget the soup was good, but if I had to nitpick (which, yes I do) it tasted too much like shiitake mushroom water mixed with shoyu. It sorta tasted like salty mushroom water, but I still downed half my bowl. Like I said, free tastes good. The only reason I am giving 3 is because of: 1) The wait. It seemed like the cashier (although she was great, patient, friendly, and kind) didn't really know what she was doing. Maybe she was new? 2) Salty soup. Nuff said. 3) Seating. Not good for groups of 4 or more. Luckily, we only had 3 which was still a little hard to find seats as it is. It's like cafeteria style seating. *just as a side note, my California oxtail soup wins* read more

WORST SERVICE EVER! The lady at the counter was super rude. "Operations manager" was arguing with an old lady loudly at the table next to us and when I mentioned my problem to him, he just walked away without saying anything. Maybe cause they're in a casino they don't really care about customer service because there's always another tourist that doesn't know better to stop by but I'm a local and will definitely never return. Food was meh. read more

Good place to get something to eat without going into a restaurant. They got oxtail soup $9 something whenever they are open. The two choice plate special for $6.99 is good too. The choices are chinese fast food kinda like panda express. For a quick bite to eat you cant beat the hotdog special for $3.50. read more

NOT OPEN UNTIL 7am!!! Idk when they close, I just know that they weren't open at 630 on a Tuesday when I stopped by and they looked like they had been closed for a while. Been here before though and the food is cheap and buffet quality, so I'd definitely recommend if you just need something to fill you up on the cheap. read more

The service is okay but the food was over salted (MSG) some. Late night they get really busy and it feels like a fast food place. Not many options late at night so this will do. read more

Do you remember that chinese place at the mall from wherever you come from?? This probably doesn't match up to it. Located in the Fremont Casino, this is the perfect stop if you are too tired to walk across the street. read more

3 cheers for food in downtown! So many restaurants closed at late hours except this place. Simple meals yet filling especially during late night munchies. Also Dunkin Doughnuts is right next to it. read more

Cheapest meal in Vegas. 2 hot dogs, 2 Pepsi, 2 shrimp cocktails for $10. I said cheap, not the greatest. Just to hold you over.

Pass on the Chinese food but snagged some OX tail ( BULALO) soup. Huge portions, good flavor and just in general can't go wrong with it. Quick food. Again pass on the Chinese food! read more

$.99 shrimp cocktail tastes really great as a snack and my wallet is enjoying it too! Actually I didnt know this was in which hotel. Now I know this is in Fremont Hotel. read more

This place is a drunk mans Disneyland. I stood in AWE with my other brothers in drunk crime as we watched a variety of food orders announced and then picked up from the food window. To drunk to decide we cheered as the food went out. Had been here over 40 times in my life but each time always feels like the first. For some reason, everyone who comes here openly conversates in food dialog. So I approached an elderly Asian couple who were sharing a bowel of something... I said "Good" they told me "#1" so I ordered one of those they were having. Turns out it was their famous oxtail soup, don't miss out on this no matter what you might think. Usually the breakfast is what I have but everything on the menu is good. Never had one bad thing. This place is the ultimate in late night grub. One of the Best places for steak & eggs at a reasonable price in the land. To get the full experience you must be extremely intoxicated. I will come back..... read more

Came here because it was the only restaurant open in the middle of the night on Fremont Street. Food was edible. Staff was super friendly.

Horrible service from cashier, nothing but attitude. I would not return here because of the service. The server girl was very nice an attentive however the cashier girl, pish that's another story. She got mad because I gave her a 5 dollar bill then I said I have the $2.25 instead. She said you gave me a 5, i said give me back my 5 and ill give you $2.25. I had my hand out for my change and she threw it on the counter. Rude, rude, rude! Mary Ann if you are reading this, you need an attitude adjustment and a math course if you don't know how to take away $2.25 from $2.14 then girlllll, you need to go back to school stop letting the cash register do it for you. read more

On a recent trip to Las Vegas was hungry and was craving some Chinese food and came across this place and I must say that I wish I hadn't, this place is one of the worst I have ever been to. First food tastes like it's been out all day, poorly cooked and very poor quality, service not good and over priced for what you get...heck they even charge you .50 for a cup of ice water. Avoid this place at all costs..... read more

Was my pregame and postgame food for life is beautiful. Definitely get your moneys worth here & one of the best deals downtown!

Based on yelp reviews I decided to skip the steak and lobster special at Tony romas and choose the Oxtail soup at lanai express. I think I made a good choice. The Oxtail soup was good, only issue I had was you have to eat the bones with your hands and the white rice tasted old. For $10 it was surprisingly decent though. My girlfriend ordered the 3 item combo but that didn't look very good. Depending on the time you eat the hot food has probably been sitting out for a while and looked brown and soggy. Can only recommend the soup. read more

The Chinese food here is terrible. Ordered a chili dog this time. Just as bad. Bad chili dog? Yes pretty disgusting. On top of which it was barely warm. Towards the middle it was down right cold. Who serves food like this???? Maybe they're trying to go out of business read more

Not the place to host your wedding but as a place to get late night food to soak up cocktails this fits the bill. Truthfully if you are picky not the place for you but not many casino cafes open w a full menu late night anymore. read more

"You Get What You Pay For" My previous review was a little over the top for this cafeteria. This time we had egg roll and saimin. The saimin is overpriced, and tasteless, even with added soy sauce. The egg roll, average. We would think twice about going back, even though the location is convenient for us. read more

if i could give a negative star i would this has to be the worst Chinese food i have ever eaten. the S&S pork and chicken were like rubber. The something beef was cut the wrong way so it was almost imposable to cut. I learned to clean my plate well not this time nor my wife PS. Chowmein was oily and no flavor read more

Order: orange chicken, fried rice, sweet and sour pork. The food we cold, tasted like it had been sitting out for a long while. The rice was soggy. Between this and Panda Express I would definitely choose Panda. read more

If you're looking for a quick and cheap lunch/snack and you are downtown, try the Lanai Express in the Fremont. It's served cafeteria style so you can see the food before you buy. They have good turnaround so the food is fresh. The prices are cheap. Seating is good. I love getting the spam masubi there. They make it ahead of time and nuke it in the micro but it works. The spam and rice come out with good consistency. read more

Today, had the Hamburger Deluxe, which has 2 thin patties, cooked where the edges are charred. The T/ L /onions were fresh. Fries that came with it were cooked right--golden. Place is a dive, but writing mostly to advise that the servers were courteous. Didn't get the attitude the other reviews mentioned. read more

Ordered the fried saimen it was dry and tasteless. It was for takeout and i did not get a fork or napkins or salt or soy sauce or anything to add flavor. Rude counterproductive staff. I will never go back. Wish Alaho Specialties stayed open 1 hour later!!! read more

It is what you would expect in a Downtown Casino. Other reviews are very accurate regarding the long lines. I work around the corner and this has been a regular stop for lunch. Although, if I am pressed for time, I cannot afford the wait. Quite often, it is indecisive people who may or may not have had a few drinks and have trouble focusing or making a decision on what they want. Then, they decide to change their mind at the register. The portions are generous for the price when compared to other food places in this market. Each time I have been there, I have seen them changing out food for fresh items. The "Panda Express" style combos are good, albeit with limited selections. The French Dip is better than you would get at many upper scale restaurants as they use a very good cut of beef. On some days, the noise from the casino can be irritating, especially the lady on the microphone who attempts to create hype in the Slot Area. She sounds like a Female, Middle Aged Urkel and gets under my skin as I wait. I generally take my food and go. If you want an alternative to a sit down restaurant downtown, this is one of the best values that you will find. read more
