Have you been to Palette Tea Lounge & Dim Sum in Vegas? If so, what did you think? But more importantly: Prius or McLaren P1?

@stephenmotta8663 3 месяца назад

Shrimp is "adequately fresh". Ugh. But too funny 🤣

Yeah, we had high hopes but this was a tough one to report on. Thanks for watching!

$18 for a small plate of gai lan or green beans? $9 for har gau? I seriously doubt the quality of the food is worth the price.

@franklyvegas Месяц назад

Many share the same sentiment. Thanks for stopping by!

@kimmichau7643 Месяц назад

Why doesn’t? Just like American restaurants charge a Brussels sprout for $18 bucks. Because you never be to one fancy Chinese restaurant.

@stolennimbus Месяц назад

@@kimmichau7643 Blossom and Jasmine are high end Chinese restaurants. Palette Tea Lounge is just a wannabe. I am sure you do not know the difference.

Those prices are crazy for dim sum

@franklyvegas Месяц назад

Their prices certainly aren’t budget friendly. Some others have suggested that diners should expect these prices for the elevated ambiance and decor. I think each of us can be the judge on that. Thanks for stopping by!

@getsmartpaul Месяц назад

Dim Sum prices have exploded with inflation. Have to limit visits now. Rainbow Grill, New Asia BBQ, ping pang pong at Gold Coast, Tim Ho Wan at Palms. KJ in Rio, Dim Sum Cafe, Orchids Garden are probably better options for locals. Do we need another expensive dim sum spot ?

@franklyvegas Месяц назад

The answer is yes, we need more expensive dimsum spots, according to other social media accounts showcasing new spots on The Strip. We get your drift, and share your drift. Thanks for watching!

I would argue SGV has the best Chinese food in the country so you're certainly an expert on dim sum. That and you've already eaten in Guangzhou 😀

@franklyvegas 13 дней назад

SGV certainly has a wide variety of very good Chinese food, even though a certain celebrity chef thinks otherwise 😂. I do miss the dimsum experience from the 80s-2000s in SGV though. It was everywhere, it was super cheap, dimsum carts galore, and a wider variety of establishments: everything from pick up counters to elaborate, massive banquet hall style. And the vibe was different back then, unique in its own right. Eating “zao cha” in GZ was an eye opener to say the least. We’ve also eaten in a few other regions over there, in addition to spending time in Taiwan, South Korea, etc for work

Thanks for the review. I was curious about this place. Appears to be another overpriced touristy place. I see more and more of these types of ‘casino priced/styled’ but off the strip restaurants opening near the strip now. I guess i don’t mind as long as we still have other options.

And I thought Tim Ho Wan & Din Tai Fong were expensive. I will give this place a try at least 1 time. My go to Dim Sum place is Orchid Gardens which been around forever. Used to go to Harbor Palace for many years before they went out of business. Ping Pang Pong used to be one of the best dim sum in town but ever since they moved to bigger space. Their dim sum quality went downhill.

@franklyvegas 2 месяца назад

Orchid Garden is like an institution at this point, similar to Ping Pang Pong in a way. It's a shame to hear Ping Pang Pong has gone downhill for you. Thanks for stopping by.

@kimmichau7643 Месяц назад

Tbh, the food weren’t impressive but weren’t that bad. Well, You paid for the decor, atmosphere, the concepts of the ingredients combination and the service. I’m an Chinese from China and I kinda like this restaurant. I would still recommend people to try.

@franklyvegas Месяц назад

We’re glad you had a different experience than us and several others on dining review sites. But based on our experience, we question whether it’s worth paying for the subpar service, food that sounds elevated on the menu but falls short in execution, unkempt bathrooms.

@kimmichau7643 Месяц назад

People are complaining the price because what their experience of having a Chinese food was in a mom and pop restaurant. They never went to this modern fusion kinda type fancy Chinese restaurant. I saw one commented about this restaurant charge gai lan for 18 bucks. My question is why are you guys think an American restaurant charge 18 bucks for Brussels sprouts is acceptable? What is so special about that Brussels sprouts dish? Because you guys think Chinese food doesn’t worth as an American food?

@franklyvegas Месяц назад

So what is so special about their gai pan to charge $18 for it? Which is something that costs $3 retail (not even wholesale) and takes 1-2 minutes to blanche? We’re not sure what’s the point of mentioning $18 Brussels sprouts. You’re also over-generalizing “American food” which spans a wide range from dollar menus at fast food places to white linen seafood and steak houses. Nobody is debating that Chinese food can never be priced highly. There are plenty of Chinese entrees that have been in demand with high price tags for decades, found in LA, SF, NYC, and even Las Vegas. And people are willing to pay for it. Also, I suppose what’s considered modern and fancy is in the eye of the beholder. We’re more than willing to open our wallets for an experience that’s worth it. That goes for Chinese, Vietnamese, French, Indian, American places, etc But we aren’t alone in pointing out subpar service, dirty bathrooms. If you check your favorite dining review site, others are speaking up as well. Although we may be the only ones mentioning the plastic fantastic furnishings.

We had a family gathering at the Palette in San Mateo. It was decent, but very overpriced. I’d rather go to a little hole in the wall type of dim sum/bakery in SF. I miss Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Millbrae which closed recently, a victim of the pandemic.

@proudasiangirl576 2 месяца назад

Just looking at the menu is enough to turn me off. Two things. Their price point is on the high side. Then the disclosure re: gratuity. They charge from 18-20%. THEN they have the audacity to even suggest additional tips. So they are suggesting that you tip on top of their mandatory tip. OK, I'm done. I don't need to see anymore. Not going there!

@franklyvegas 2 месяца назад

They might trying to mimic similar guidelines seen in menus at upscale or even fine dining for reasons that could be justified. It’s debatable whether that lands here. Thanks for stopping by!
