Going around spring mountain road chinatown, of course, and yeah, why don't you tell us what we got on this video? Absolutely
I'm super excited to do this one because these are three of my favorite restaurants
But the first one we're hitting up is taiwan deli the only place for authentic taiwanese food in vegas
Then we're going to do some ramen and then one of the best thai places in town. Super excited. Awesome. Can't wait. Sounds great
Let's do it. Let's go check out some
Taiwanese food. Let's go. Let's go. All right guys a bunch of chefs in here hard at work
We're in the kitchen of taiwan deli right now. We're going to show you how the great taiwanese food
Dumplings wontons noodles how everything is made. These are the handmade chinese doughnuts right here massaging that dough. Wow
I misspoke. I called it a churro
As you guys can see a lot of great love and care is put into each one of these taiwanese dishes right here
Look at that huge steaming pot. Wow, look at that
The aroma coming from those buns are insane
We are in lunar new year season and tony here the co-owner wants to give me a lc. Wow. Thank you so much
Yeah, just for good luck. All right. Appreciate you. Got lc right here. Thank you, sir
Year of the rabbit vietnamese year of the cat
So
All right guys, this is one of the craziest taiwanese food spreads i've seen
Are you ready for this? Unbelievable?
This is like a family of six. We got some pan-fried dumplings right here with some vinegar soy sauce
Yes, and they can make all the dumplings here handmade. Yeah. Yes legit
and then
This is the taiwanese pork chop. I love this super crispy with the braised egg
Some minced pork. Yep rice
And some xiaolongbao steamed dumplings and stinky tofu. I smelled that while they're making in the kitchen
So we're gonna try that for you guys and we also got the family style rotating lazy susan. So
That's because we got so many dishes. It'll be uh convenient for us
Let's just go in let's do uh this because it's closest one pan-fried dumpling each better while it's hot
Oh, look at this
Has a nice sear on the outside
Yep, let's get a little sauce in there. All right. I'm gonna one bite this. Yeah same
Wow
Oh, yeah that pan-fried dumpling love the outer shell
Nice and glutinous like phil was saying. Yeah, and uh, nice has a nice thin oil glaze on it with the soy sauce
It's great. Great really juicy
Yeah, nice pan-fried
Awesome, let's try this one. This is also very close to us. Yeah, i'm excited to try this one
It's the pancake with omelet on it
I've never had it this way. Yeah me neither. Yeah
I think it'll be awesome. Try it out
Wow
It's nice and crunchy
From the outer layer of the pancake and you get a nice fried egg on top
Oh and you get aroma from the scallion can't beat homemade so many places in town just use the frozen one and reheat it
But yeah, the fact that they make them here just so much better
It's so chewy. You can taste the dough. Yeah. Oh, that's yummy
Yeah, so we're having a lunar new year feast right here yeah great place to do it i'm
Perfect for big parties. Yeah, and uh
You know just a great way to try everything awesome, let's just grab one of these popcorn chickens right here very easy. Yep
That's crunchy, yeah
Nice and airy. Mm-hmm. No one could easily tell they breaded it here and fried it here
Oh, there's big pieces of chicken thigh in there. You get aroma from like the herbs on top, too
Sometimes they serve popcorn chicken with sweet and sour but so flavorful that I don't even need it
That fry is insane good stuff. We don't have to worry about
Reaching over because we got the lazy susan right here. All right, so we got the
Taiwanese beef noodle soup right here. Oh
This is huge. Yeah, we split this is enough to feel like four people I think yeah
Total banquet style right here. They say it's for one
Oh
those noodles
Really good. Yeah
Nice slippery thin noodles and you can taste the broth on every piece of the noodle
Let me do the broth by itself
Okay. Yeah, that's um
Interesting broth pretty spicy has a herby taste to it a little sour too. You think a little sour at the end?
Yeah, that's good. Yeah has a nice finish. Yeah, the heat kind of sneaks up
Gradually, that's nice. Oh, and there's a nice huge cubes of braised beef right here. Yeah
Whoa
Really good. That's tender. It just melts in the mouth
This is probably
One of my favorite taiwanese dishes top three for sure
Oh, man
love
taiwanese braised noodle soup
I mean some pickled veggies in here for us too. Oh, it has a nice sour pop and some bok choy, of course
Get your greens in
For the health. Mm-hmm
And you hear the slurps that's exactly how you should eat beef noodle soup with the slurps
To truly enjoy it. Yeah the asmr and the sniffles. That's how you know, it has that little spice right sniffles and the slurps
And in summer, I need an extra towel for the sweat on my forehead
Yeah, so time to move on to the xiaolongbao while it's fresh the soup dumplings. Everybody eats it a little bit different
Yeah, i'm curious how you eat
So what I like to do is I put on my spoon take a little bite
Get the soup a little bit on the spoon
And then when the dumpling is dry, I like to dip it in the vinegar ginger soy, I don't do any of that anymore
All right, so I get the soup on the spoon dip it a little bit
And then I take the soup and the dumpling on one. How do you eat it?
Asian grandpa style I just dip and bite the whole thing. Yeah
All right
Just the dough on everything like the it's really chewy you can tell it's handmade. Yeah, really thick
Which is how I prefer my xiaolongbao, I like the dough really thick some people like it thin
I feel like din tai fung does it pretty thin right? Din tai fung does it super thin. Yeah
Yeah, I like it really thick and chewy. Yeah, so a lot of people are critical that when they come here
If it's not like din tai fung if not doing the 18 folds and all that stuff
If it's a little thicker they don't like it, but I think this is one of the top five in town
Especially with all the other stuff that they offer
Here, it's a great place to get it
Yeah high praise from phil because he knows all the great asian spots
Especially in vegas the spot looks really authentic family owned right family owned. So the owner of bo
She's owned this place for 19 years 19 years. Yeah, so they've had several locations throughout vegas
But they have this one spring mountain and the one a small one on rainbow as well. Awesome
Yeah, he's saying like they don't even have a social media guy. So super og. Yeah
Oh, man, I gotta grab another one of those xiaolongbaos i'm gonna do a grandpa style like uh philip
So chewy there's a huge piece of
Pork in the middle, of course
That's juicy
How about we try?
Maybe do the stinky stinky tofu. All right. Yeah, so stinky tofu time, baby. So another classic taiwanese dish
Um stinky tofu like fermented
Tofu if you go on any street corner in taipei, they're usually grilling this at a stand
It's a lot of times it's not fried. It's more steamed. But this one particular one is fried
All right, and there's some pickled cabbage on top for us. Yep. All right, and if you guys don't know then
It smells like uh, I don't know. What do you think it smells like? I think it smells like stinky tofu
Let's see. Some people say dirty socks dirty socks. All right. Yeah, and I always get off on
People eating this for the first time second time because it's usually a quite a bit of a shock. Yeah for the non-taiwanese
So, all right stinky tofu time love this stuff. Let's try it. I dipped it in a little bit of that. Okay thick soy sauce. Yep
Finish it with a little cabbage
I like the texture. It's really crunchy
but
there is that
stinky taste
I can't really compare it to anything. It's just like um, like an odor
A fermented
fermented
Odor. Yeah opens up the nasal. Let's um cleanse the palate with this pickled cabbage, though
I really believe you almost have to be born with it
You know born into this or have lived in taipei to really enjoy this taste. Yeah
Definitely an acquired taste. Yeah, it's definitely acquired taste. I think i'm gonna pass on this but
Yeah, philip's gonna eat that whole plate for us
Yeah
All right, I love me some fried pork chops right here taiwanese style so, you know, it's really breaded and crispy
So yeah, easily one of the biggest chinese classic comfort food dishes. I'm gonna steal this bone from philip right here
Look at this. I'm gonna use my hands for this. It's huge right here. Do it. That looks awesome. Cheers. Boom
Wow
I'll be honest. We left this out for a little bit and it's still crispy
And crunchy and juicy on the inside
I have like a lot of pieces of like the cartilage the tendons the fat in here near the bones all the good stuff
Has a good flavor too. It's not too, uh salty or anything like that. It's perfectly
made
You always got to pair this
With the rice because the rice has like some minced pork on it and there's a like a braised egg right here
This is a taiwanese soy sauce egg, right? Yep
Yep. I just call it brown egg brown egg. Yeah in
Vietnam we have our own version. Oh, it's called tick off. Hope gas. It's similar
But I say this taiwanese one is more soy saucy. Ours is like a little bit more fatty
It just has like a different flavor vinegar. It has like vinegar in it, too. I know filipinos do that as well
Yeah, but yeah for lunar new year's apparently you're supposed to eat these for good luck
I don't know if you guys do the same I eat them anyway, but yeah, just to make sure yeah
All right
Love soy sauce egg like it's braised in like the broth
So it retains all the flavor onto the the egg whites
and yeah, it's not like just dipping a egg into soy sauce like
While it's being braised it takes up all the flavors even in like the yolk
Yeah, it really just absorbs all the flavors and you can see it when you cut it half like the oh
It's like a almost like a smoke ring. Yeah a sauce just uh
Coming in it's really good
Fry sitting in the pork sauce and whatever for hours really good fire love taiwanese pork chops
Can't go wrong. This one's awesome. We got a few survivors left
Oh, so let's do this one right here the the regular pancake. I love green onion
Scallion pancakes. Yep. They are so amazing. Absolute classic can't go wrong with this again
Handmade all done here. Um choose hands. Yeah, the shape looks like a like a taiwanese pizza
they like cut it into
slices for us
All right
Oh my gosh, it's so fluffy. Yeah
A little thicker than usual. Um, but it's really good
I love that crisp really voluminous
Has a nice crisp but you get the
green onions in there
This reminds me of just childhood
I eat these all day. These are addicting guys
So we got two of similar items here, what are these phil? Yeah, so
Um, I guess the easiest way to explain would be just a chinese omelet
You have a little pancake which is similar to the one that's in the scallion pancake wrapped with egg
And then this is the next level one featuring yu chao, which is the fried dough
wrapped in egg and more bread, so I learned something today, I didn't know what's called yu chao in
Chinese because in vietnamese we have this too and in cambodia, but we call it
Chow white chow white chow white because we eat it with porridge
So chow means porridge and why he means like mix mixing in there. So yeah, let's try it out
Yeah, so for those I don't know what we're talking about. It's imagine like a beignet
Uh, just uh more savory. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So yeah, I got the end with two chowais right here chinese donut
Let's try this out. Yep
It's so good
Whoa
The scallions in the egg man, it totally transforms the flavor like doesn't just taste like a regular fried egg. It's the chinese version
Totally. Yeah a little hit of sugar in there, too
Um, yeah, really good
I'm getting like a breakfast vibe from these items. You got the chinese pancake
There's also american pancakes got the omelet chinese omelet and then the chinese donut
so
Every part of an american breakfast turned taiwanese
The donut is so fluffy and voluminous. Oh that took a while to take down
That was good though. So we got some
Steaming soy milk. Yeah hot soy milk, which is a taiwanese breakfast staple
And with this, yeah, you can just sip it like soup
A lot of people dip the yutao into this. Oh, wow as well. Um, there's no real rules for all this
But yeah, I usually just eat it like soup and it's super comforting
And um, I prefer it more than regular milk. So that one is uh, the soy milk, uh done cold with additional peanut
Okay, nice
Yeah, really pronounced flavor. I think you're gonna like it. Cheers. Cheers
Hmm
Oh my gosh
This is thick
Yeah, the entire color. It's pretty damn thick. I wasn't expecting this. This is like a smoothie
So good, oh man
It feels like i'm drinking like milky like peanut butter smoothie. Yeah, it's really good but with the soy milk though
How's that? Excellent super comforting
Good for digestion after stuffing my face with half the table
And i'm ready for the next half. This one looks absolutely crazy
Easily one of the most famous taiwanese dishes ever. It's a oyster pancake or oyster omelet
It's made with like a sweet potato gelatinous dough
So you'll see when we kind of pull it up
It's kind of stretchy tons of oyster in this as well and you'll find this on a street corner
Any small restaurant and we'll serve something like this and this is the best one in town by far awesome
Oh, man, i'm so excited to try this
It should be so good
What do you think?
i'll be honest
My taste buds are confused right now. I do taste real oyster in there
And it's not I thought it'd be fried or grilled or something but it's actually like pieces of oyster
Like straight from the shell. Yep, and
it's in like a
the pan fried pancake and it has a really nice like
Sweet glaze on there. Oh
Yeah, kind of mochi-ish. Yeah, you know and then I love the crispy corners just kind of finish off that bite. It's really good
Yeah, the sauce on top is really sweet though. Yeah
Yeah, taiwanese are big on ketchup, but they just do it in different ways
Yeah, but honestly i'm not a huge fan of oyster even raw oysters. Oh, really?
Yeah, so it's like yeah, it's interesting
But I know the oyster fans will love this because there are whole pieces of oysters in here. Yeah
Yeah, I love opening up dandy world, uh new foods. Yeah
This is cool. This is awesome, man. I think we uh tried a little bit of everything, right?
Yeah, we knocked it all out. This was a feast. What were like your favorite dishes here?
Definitely the taiwanese pork chop for sure. Um, that's just one of my favorite childhood, uh foods dishes
Um the spicy beef noodle soup and I love the stinky tofu and this
Omelet thing was incredible too. How about you all the pancake items?
Yeah, like the scallions like the omelet pancake and then this pancake and then the beef noodle soup was fire
But I also want to talk about the variety of this place like you might go to a taiwanese restaurant here and there
They might have the same few things like beef noodle soup, you know dumplings
But this one I went we went deep into the taiwanese bag
Of food. Yeah, and this is less than 20% of the menu and this menu is huge. Look at that
And the back
And the prices are unbelievable. Yeah, I don't think they've changed the prices here
in maybe
At least five years. Yeah inflation ain't got nothing on these prices. You'll get a steal coming here guys. Yeah for sure

Oh, they're amazing in ramen
Oh, yeah soft boiled eggs still a little bit runny, but the yolk still has some consistency to it

Broth and make it more creamy. Mm. Yeah. I don't think i've tried this before. Let's try never had it. Yeah

Oh, and the shell is really
Spongy. Yeah. Yeah
Let's finish off with the shumai right here, are these japanese style? I think these are japanese style
It's it looks smaller. So that's a distinction. Everything is smaller in japan
Yeah, the waist fasties in the bathroom are like this size. Well, is that uh, it's like the opposite of texas then
Welcome to japan the opposite of texas. Well hit a little hot mustard on it. Yeah, hot mustard
Sure, great with beer
Some horseradish and that
Hot mustard. Oh, this is soft. Yeah. Yeah your teeth just carves through that. Oh, yeah, it tastes a lot different than uh,
Regular shumai. Let me dip it in some soy sauce
Oh, it's just like a it's like a thick soya. I think I think that was teriyaki actually teriyaki. Yeah
Yeah, so that's like a difference so the shrimp is not whole and like
Crunchy is very soft and like it's blended up shrimp in there. Oh, it's a lot different than chinese shumai. It's a nice little pop
That was your third one. Yeah
Finger foods are addicting. Like if they're in front of me, i'll just keep picking at them
So man gotta get out of my sight

japanese lunch and
Doesn't hurt the pockets. No, not at all
All right guys, so we're gonna finish off the rest of our lunch and
On to our last spot you ready? Yeah, i'm ready. Let's go
We're gonna leave japan now
We're gonna catch our next flight out
All right, dvw fam. So we're at our third and last location here still in chinatown
That's the thing I like about vegas. All these spots are very easy to get to
So if you guys have a car even if you're walking, so yeah, where are we at today phil?
Yeah, so today we're at lamai which is considered a modern thai restaurant
I think it's one of the best thai restaurants in town easily top three if not the best
And this setting here the one on spring mountain is a great date night
And really great one spot as well. Yeah looks very nice in the interior
And i'm very excited for thai food love thai food. So yeah, let's see what they got for us
All right guys, so we got our thai food spread right here
Oh, so this is one of my favorite items right here from northern thailand the cow soy right here with braised beef
And we got some crispy chicken wings. I want you to take it away with the rest of the items. Absolutely
So we got the classic penang crispy duck curry
And then this one is kind of like their fusion dish. It's a pad sen lobster featuring japanese yakisoba noodles
With deep fried chunks of lobster and I think you're gonna really like this one. Yeah, and it's real lobster guys. I watched them, you know
Slice and dice it in the back. It's not just like that popcorn lobster. That's shrimp and they call it lobster, right?
And you know what? Let's start off with the wings. Of course. Yep. The wings up is uh to me
I mean everyone talks about best chicken wings in las vegas all the kind of stuff
I think these are low-key the best chicken wings in las vegas features like a dried chili rub
Um, you're gonna taste a little hit of spice on that too. I think you're gonna like it
Do you like flats or drums? I like both but I prefer drums nowadays me too. I'm a drums guy
These are big presentation on these dishes are wonderful. They put some carnations and cilantro on some of them. It's beautiful
Let me grab one right here. All right wings up
Whoa, whoa that seasoning right
whoa
These are unique the seasoning on it
Yeah, try to get that amazing crunch then the lime and then the heat kicks in. Yeah, it's limey the dry rub
very limey has like
a lot of heat to it
It reminds me of a lemon pepper but like with more spices. Yeah
good description
And lemony too. Wow, but the fries insane nice airy thin crisp
Oh, this is amazing. I don't know how they do it. So good
And I eat mine asian style. I clean the whole bone. Yeah same
Love the cartilage you gotta clean them totally
All right, let's move on to the calsoy noodles right here
Love calsoy thick egg noodles, and they also gave us some crispy fried noodles here, too
Yeah for a little contrast a little crunchiness to all this. It's just so good. Yeah, and those are deep fried noodles. Yeah, look at this
Let's try the calsoy curry or soup right here
Wow
That's comforting. Yeah, the coconut hits you and then a little bit of spice. Yeah, really good
You can smell it right when they set it onto the table
A little bit sweet from the coconut milk and has all the spices. Oh love that, but it's not too spicy though. Good balance
Wow those noodles are tender
And the beef is even more tender. Oh, yeah. Wow
Beef is fantastic. This is comfort food at its finest
Savory goodness creamy sweet has the spices and herbs that northern thai food has
Man that beef is extremely tender
This is really good. I give this like 10 out of 10 for calsoy. I love it. It's on the sweet side though
Like some calsoy is more spicy
some are more like
Creamy i'd say it's on the sweet side with this coconut milk. Yeah, and I think um, you can definitely get this modified here
Yeah, like a little spicier. Um, perhaps maybe just tell them. Oh, yeah, they have a spice list, right?
They do. I think it's just one through five. Oh one two five. Yeah for thai standards
I definitely would say this is a one because thai food can get really really zesty guys
You get spicy. There's usa spicy and then there's thai country hot spicy, which
You know pretty much no one ever gets. Yeah, but if you really want spicy ask for country hot and then I think they'll accommodate
All right, so we got the duck penang right here, right? Yep. Oh my gosh. I saw them making it
I can't wait to try this looks incredible. I love the duck here and all the duck dishes here are stellar
And there's no like red green or yellow curry here. It's just penang curry and this is the one again
Awesome, so they only have one option. Yep. So that's how you know, it's like their specialty
So we're gonna eat this one with white rice because it's curry to you know soak in the sauce
So let's take a little piece of the curry first. See how it is. I'm gonna eat with the rice
Pour it on top
Love curry and rice. Absolutely
Oh man
A sweet creamy and there's a some heat to that. Ooh
It's great because
The curry could be creamy and sweet but at the same time spicy and it works. Yeah a lot of stuff going on
My brain is confused right now
Oh, man, that's some good curry. Oh, you guys hear that. It's smart every time I poke it it makes a little crunch
Oh, it's a nice piece of skin hanging out of here. Yeah, gotta have it with the skin. Yeah. All right. Cheers
I know you guys heard that you hear that crackle and pop
Whoa, so crispy I got a piece of the edge
So it's like the more crispy edges. This one is extremely crispy tender fatty
but yeah, the crispy part almost gives like a like a crispy jerky or
Kind of chip quality to it. I feel like i'm biting into like a tree bark
Here's the breading. It's so crunchy. I'm gonna try a middle piece
Oh, look at that. That's good. That looks awesome. It's like the ribeye of the duck
The ribeye of duck. Oh, that's a good description. It looks like the ribeye of duck
Oh, oh man, wow, you motivated me to have another wow that one just melted so good right here ----
So tender middle part was definitely more tender got a nice
Piece of duck fat right there. And yeah duck is a fattier poultry, which I like
So like phil said it's like the ribeye and it's very similar because it's very fatty. Yeah, you got a great piece right there
Oh, man, I just gotta dip it into that pen penning. That's an amazing curry an amazing sauce
This is awesome
thai food heaven right here
All right. So last but not least everyone's favorite I guess the lobster everybody seems to love lobster on youtube. So
Here it is guys the pad sen lobster. So yeah pad sen lobster japanese yakisoba noodles down below and then uh,
crispy
Fried to order lobster on top. Looks great. Looks great. Can't find a dish like this in any other thai place
Those noodles
Oh all that sauce he put in there while he's uh cooking it. I can tell it's gonna be fire. It's nice and sweet
Oh every part of the noodle is lubricated with nice oil and then you get this lobster right here fried lobster
Let me take a piece
Yeah
The best popcorn lobster ever. Yeah
What he said
Look, look at his lobster tail came straight out of the lobster. So fresh into the fryer
Similar to chicken wing the fry here. It's nice and airy crispy crunchy. Then you get a huge chunk of lobster tail
But don't sleep on his noodles though. I could just eat these noodles by itself
Hmm kind of reminds me of like panda express chow mein but like way better
I wonder if they if that's what they were thinking too. It has a nice marinade. There's some veggies in there onions
It's crunchy
Yeah, chewy great textures going on when you're biting into stuff for sure
And the price is great. Uh, you know vegas is a city where you can get some places sell lobster tails like 85 dollars now
This whole dish is 26 bucks and you can charge 26 just for a lobster tail
But it comes with these noodles. Like I said, these noodles are seriously bomb
I could just eat these noodles all day like you add any protein to this and it'll be a great dish
I give this like a 12 out of 10 12 out of 10. These noodles are great. Oh, man

So it is called lamai thai food and cocktails
So they do have a full bar here and they specialize in their craft cocktail
We're gonna show you guys what they're about to make us in a sec a lamai old-fashioned
All right
Yeah
Yeah for you non-thai viewers that means thank you
Yeah, all right gonna taste this lamai old-fashioned right here one of the main distinctions is this
Porch bail fruit right here. Let's take a bite. See how it is
Crunchy sweet
I'll say it's less bitter than a regular old-fashioned. It's on the sweet side, but not like too sweet
Sometimes I don't like the old-fashioned too sweet. It's just easy to take down honestly because it's japanese whiskey is a big plus
I love japanese whiskey that in general is easy to take down
Salud, so great cocktails and thai food
