Tip 1: Shang Artisan Noodles

Our first stop is Shang Artisan Noodles, a must for lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine. Here you will not only encounter greats such as René Frank and the guys from Nobelhart & Schmutzig, but also handmade noodles served in delicious broths. The menu lives up to its promise - a culinary experience not to be missed.

Tip 2: Noodlehead

Continue on to Noodlehead, a street food-style restaurant that offers modern interpretations of classic noodle dishes from all over Asia. Whether ramen, pho or udon - everyone will find something to their taste here. The creative yet authentic cuisine makes Noodlehead a highlight on my list.

Tip 3: Shanghai Taste

Our last lunch spot is Shanghai Taste, famous for its first-class "Xiao Long Bao", the famous dim sums. These delicate dumplings are a real treat and an absolute must when you are in Las Vegas. The combination of first-class ingredients and masterful preparation makes every bite an experience.
