The best Chinese restaurants in Las Vegas

For elegant Cantonese cuisine with a view of the Bellagio fountain, head to Jasmine for immaculately plated dishes. Start with the Szechuan spicy chicken or a sesame shrimp roll before moving on to the many live tank options or perhaps the oxtail clay pot.

A local’s favorite, this underrated, simple kitchen at the Gold Coast delivers outstanding noodles, tofu dishes, clay pots and congee. It might take you a few minutes to flip through the large menu but we’re sure you’ll settle on something great or unique—frog, geoduck or razor clam, anyone?

As the first Chinese restaurant in North America to earn a Michelin star, this had to make our list. In a room decked out in gold, Wing Lei pushes elevated cuisine. A tasting menu ($227.88 per person) highlights the best of the best with red king crab merus, braised prime short rib, grilled sea bass, truffle soup dumplings and Peking duck with caviar.

Hit up the original Flamingo Road location or travel to the Durango Casino & Resort to watch chefs twirl, work and shape authentic handmade noodles in the open kitchen. Try the beef pancakes and then dive into a brothy beef or pork noodle soup, chow mein or the dan-dan noodle.

With its elegant setting and a library study to dine, Chyna Club at Fontainebleau sets the stage for a lofty meal. While you can’t go wrong with preordering a Peking duck (they even have a green veggie version with tofu and bean shoots), there are endless worthwhile alternatives, including jasmine tea-smoked ribs, lobster Cantonese noodles and udon carbonara with sea urchin. Don’t leave without trying the Bloody Chyna cocktail.

With its large selection of teas, dozens of appetizers (shiu mai, dumplings and dim sum) and entrees like walnut shrimp, steamed abalone, wok-fried shrimp and tofu dishes, this elegant yet approachable Wynn restaurant hits the mark.

The elegant space and stellar menu from James Beard Award semifinalist Alan Ji puts Mott 32 at Palazzo in the conversation for the best Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas. For a treat, preorder the applewood-roasted Peking duck. Fresh seafood, dried abalone, smoked black cod and stir-fried Shanghainese noodles are all exceptional.

Chef Alan Yau adds a playful touch to the elevated street food offerings at Washing Potato. The Fontainebleau restaurant’s specialties include scallop shumai, crispy seafood noodles, chicken and mushroom congee and several types of dumplings including ones stuffed with squash and pine nuts.

One of the more showy spaces is Beijing Noodle No. 9. Before getting to your table you’ll slide past the open kitchen where chefs hand-pull noodles and walk between two goldfish tanks to get to the nest-like dining room. Here, you’ll dine on noodle soups, dumplings, steamed buns and Beijing pancakes.

Just off the Strip, Orchids Garden is a dim sum lover’s dream. Here carts roam the dining room for guests to select small plates of pork buns, shrimp balls, chicken feet and chow mein (all priced between $5 and $9). A large entree menu compliments the offerings.

Craving noodles? Then this is your place. It’s not fancy by any means and the menu is simple but Magic Noodle serves up some delicious dishes. For under $10 each, you can grab onion pancakes with braised pork belly, a Lan Zhou noodle soup, chicken chow mein or veggie fried rice.

Specializing in cuisine from China’s Shanxi Province, this small under-the-radar eatery in Chinatown (it seats about 20) packs a flavorful punch with tangy vinegar-glazed spare ribs, knife-cut noodles, a cumin lamb burger and Shanxi-style braised pork.

With its high ceilings and elegant room dressed in green, black and gold, Genting Palace is an opulent space to enjoy authentic Cantonese cuisine. Settle in and let the seafood, rice and noodle dishes pour from chef Billy Cheng’s kitchen. The five-course tasting menu ($168) with wine pairings ($88) is an excellent way to experience the Resorts World restaurant.

It’s one of the world’s most well-known dim sum chains so it’s no wonder it landed in Las Vegas. Here, it’s all about the congee, steamed rice rolls with either BBQ pork or minced beef, braised chicken feet, and deep fried eggplant with shrimp.
