Mr. Chop Chop

I’ve tried to visit this place 2 days in a row now. Yesterday I decided to try this place out for the first time. I arrived about 4:30, only to see a sign saying «Sorry we missed you, we will be back for dinner around 6.» I didn’t exactly mind, but they have their business hours on the door-​and they should’ve been open. I still really wanted to give it a shot though, so I made another visit today around 2pm. I went to the door and saw that same sign from yesterday. I looked through the door and saw people inside. As I was walking back to the door, they came to the door asking if I was apart of some group. I politely said I wasn’t and that I was just trying to order some food. The person who came to the door was also very polite, but he said to come back after 6. Lol if they don’t want to have people come before 6pm, why do they have business hours up that say otherwise? Anyways, I probably won’t visit this place again because I’m not going to waste my time and gas only for it to not be open.

New owners.
Now you can order bbq pork for a dollar more.
Room is remodeled with softer lights.
All day frappes happy hour $ 3 instead of $ 3.50.
The food wasn’t as memorable as the last owners who had a home cooking approach and no msg.
The menu still seems to need a little tweaking.

I wouldn’t display those «new management» banners so proudly Mr. Chop Chop; your quality and service have dropped off a cliff. I kind of feel bad leaving a two star review for a small ‘mom n pop’ restaurant like this but people need to warned! (I’m also being generous with the two stars also).
The food is here is a mix of Thai and Chinese, plenty of selection but most of it is just mediocre. I ordered the chili mint chicken and I guess the cook forgot to add in the chicken as it was about 70% onions and peppers. My friend’s yellow curry was watery and lacking in flavor. My Thai iced tea seemed to have been watered down as well. Service was slow and it took nearly thirty minutes to get our order out despite being the only ones in the restaurant.
Please bring back the OG Mr. Chop Chop!

We love the Pad Thai at this restaurant. Also the potstickers are delicious. We were sad when the previous owners closed, but we feel the new owners keep the place much cleaner. We have gone to the new place several times and have not been disappointed.

The more I come here, the more I like it. New management and staff took over in mid-​January: wish they’d changed the restaurant name so reviews for previous ownership would be separate. However, keeping the name did allow them to inherit the constant flow of phone orders and takeout from regulars.
POK TAK: Seafood lemongrass soup with shrimp, mussel, squid, catfish, red onion, basil and mushroom infused with lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal. Shared a hotpot among four diners, everyone enjoyed this.
YEN TA FO NOODLE SOUP: Noodles with fish ball, white mushroom shrimp, squid, fried tofu, spinach with Thai triple delight soup topped with fried wontons and cilantro. BF really liked this, the light citrusy broth was reminiscent of an Asian take on gazpacho.
CRAB FRIED RICE memorable, ample amounts of crab, huge portion. BBQ pork version is not nearly as good. Either can be made Thai-​style, adding extra veggies and chili sauce.
PANANG CURRY and GREEN CURRY were both solid, appreciate that they offer brown rice instead of white without an upcharge.
DRUNKEN NOODLES: SO tasty! Generous portion of veggies, less noodles than other versions but palpable freshness. I inhaled this!
PORK & VEGGIE EGG FOO YUNG: Kind of an Americanized version, in that it’s a gigantic portion and the egg is actually really crispy. Very vegetable-​heavy (in a good way!), would get the seafood version to try next time.
Service continues to improve along with the kitchen execution. Lot is small so you may have to park and walk over from the Sam’s lot.

I was starving and happened to stop by this place. It’s a hole in a wall under new management. Tried their lunch special garlic chicken. I must say that I was very happy. The place is very clean and staff is amazingly polite. Food was very tasty and fresh. I will definitely come back

Service was very slow. After we ordered it took 10mins to get our drinks another 30 mins to get our soup then another 15min to the the rest of our order. Pretty bad considering what we got. 3 items wanton soup, beef curry and fired rice. 55mins for us to get all of our food with no other customers waiting. Will never go back. New management sucks. And I asked for water I never got it.

Last minute decision for my sweet tooth, got a «brownie a la mode». The people were sweet and because it was valentines day before my Hubbz and I walked out the nice lady gave me a rose from the table and wished me happy v-​day.

Lunch special was excellent. Had the beef broccoli and it was a different taste than what I was used to. Definitely had a Thai influence to it. Portion was good for the price. I’ll be back to try some of the other dishes. Staff was very friendly.

I used an app to order delivery from this place. I was given a 45 minute wait time… Almost 3 hrs later, a poor old lady was frantically calling me for directions to my very easy to find place. When I finally got my food it wasn’t very good at all. I got a yum salad and it was missing the romaine lettuce. I ordered the chicken satay and the peanut sauce was awful. I do not recommend it. I would avoid this restaurant.

Not quite sure what just happened. My roommate and I just walked into this completely empty restaurant and the staff looked at us like they were confused as to why we were there. There was a giant pink dollhouse on one table in the center and glasses on a couple others. I said «This is a restaurant, right?» Guy says «yes», apologizes and starts clearing dishes. I felt like I’d just walked into a stranger’s living room. It was surreal. And no I don’t know how the food is because ew.

I picked up a few lunch specials and the food was so bad that we threw it away rather than eat it. It was that bad. The flavors were off, way too much rice vs actual dish. Really terrible, we didn’t expect 5star, it’s a casual little place, the food was terrible.

Ordered delivery. Food was hot and fresh. Orange chicken was great. Combination fried rice was awesome, big shrimp in it. Only downfall was I got not sweet and sour sauce for my wontons. But food is excellent

This is my favorite place to eat, hands down. I live then so much and the family that runs it is amazing! I recommend the pad Thai, garlic thai wings, sweet and sour chicken and kung pao beef. Their lunch specials ate greasy for eating in too because they come with soup and a wonton :) I Mr. Chop Chop. We’ve been loyal customers for years and we always will be!

How can you call EGG ROLLS vegetarian?! Eggs = vegetarian?! I will also add that there was pork in them, a very small amount.
Excuse me, but do you work there? If so I am sorry if I offended you or your wife on her cooking, although last time I checked Unilocal is an open forum for people to share individual opinions on dining experience with others. Maybe you should use this post as constructive criticism rather than resort to childish rants on women’s ‘monthly cycles’ as though that would be a reason for me to write a post where I continuously say it may have been an ‘off day’ for the chef.
Regardless, Stephen T. that post you wrote was very unprofessional and thus proves why I will not recommend anyone to eat at Mr. chop-​chop.

I’ve never written a review on Unilocal.Not ever. But after our experience in the Las Vegas desert, I feel obligated as a man of decency to contribute and help those who would befall the same fate as we did. The debate began with a growing urgency for sustenance, as we were reeling from a heavy day of soaking our livers in beer, tequila, Fireball, and some ungodly concoctions called «Buzz Balls». Mr. Chop Chop arose as a solution because apparently, crab rangoon was not available on other delivery menus as far as we could tell. Why we were even considering ordering seafood for delivery in any form while in the middle of a goddamn desert is beyond my comprehension, but the group was insistent. We placed a large order to feed six and were told that delivery would be a one hour affair. With time to kill, there were a few beers left and the film «Tower Heist» was airing on television. If you’ve ever seen «Tower Heist», capped by brilliant penmanship and epic performances from Ben Stiller and Casey Affleck, then you know that such a cinematic gem can only build your appetite for the finest Asian cuisine, because you are literally starving for quality after watching such schlock. Enter Mr. Chop Chop, not one, but two hours later.
The crab rangoons looked like they were previously used as suppositories in a subsidized retirement community. Usually having no crabs in Vegas is a good thing, unless you’re expecting it in your food as opposed to your nether region. I could not surmise a more pathetic excuse for this staple of Ameri-​Asian cuisine than what revealed itself in those styrofoam containers. Suffice to say, they are rotting in a dumpster somewhere in the bowels of the Wynn property.
The chicken chow mein noodles tasted as if God decided that sodium no longer had a place on the table of periodic elements. Consider the effect on our ecosystem if this were the case. All sea life would perish, average blood pressure would drop, and Mr. Chop Chop’s cooking would still be available to damn civilization. I made it through about five bites before wisely placing the carton in the $ 25 incidental refrigerator we had delivered to the room. Some poor sap was going to get drunk later and eat that. But I knew it wouldn’t be me.
In the aftermath of eating, everyone in the group was writhing in pain. There was no satisfaction on the miserable faces of my companions. People would disappear randomly in 20 minute intervals and I can only imagine that this was time spent slumped over the toilet in a desperate attempt to void our bodies of the filth that was Mr. Chop Chop’s plague. Ipecac syrup would have tasted like holy ambrosia at that point.
To those that wrote positive reviews, I have two theories. One is that you have personal ties to the restaurant, which is totally fine. People come onto Unilocal all the time to defend their establishments, however fruitless and absurd it may be. The second theory is that you’ve never left the desert, nor eaten any other Asian cuisine in your life. I’m not here to knock you down or criticize your taste. Many find comfort in bland, diarrhea-​inducing food to «flush» themselves, and I respect that. This beef is between me and Mr. Chop Chop. And should this beef ever resolve itself, it certainly won’t be in any dish served by this restaurant in the lonesome outskirts of the Las Vegas strip.

Mr. Chop Chop is a decent-​enough neighborhood Thai restaurant with friendly service, with a few winning dishes, but many lacking in flavor. The big draw for this Thai food is the consistent use of fresh ingredients – most of the dishes are made up of crisp vegetables full of flavor (fresh mushrooms everyone! — You’d think that would be a standard in food everywhere, but other Vegas places do love a canned mushroom).
The best dishes here are the curry dishes and the Tom Yum soups. If you’re a Tom Yum fan, Mr. Chop Chop serves up a delicious hot and sour soup chock full of vegetables. And you can’t go wrong with the curry dishes. Each one I’ve ordered is spicy and tasty and delicious.
There are some missteps around the menu as well. The papaya salad was sadly bland and the Pad See Ew was disappointing. It makes it hard to want to test out new dishes.
Bottom line: 3 stars for the fresh ingredients, excellent curry dishes, and Tom Yum soup. Add in half a star for the personal customer service.

HORRIBLE! Don’t waste your money or time.
After a quick overview of previous reviews my son and I decided this looked like a good place to dine for the evening. BOY WERE WE WRONG. Upon entering you get a feeling that maybe you’ve chosen wrong. As we have eaten at many hole in the wall places and they were fabulous, we said to never judge a book by it’s cover. The service was poor and I think that was due to the fact the owners employ both of their sons ages 13 and 15. I don’t like to speak ill about children so this is more or less to the choice of their parents. Upon entering we were not greeted and seated. We went up to the take out counter, grabbed a menu and asked our server/​bus boy who was cleaning tables, where we should sit. He stated, «Oh, well, any where but that table because I haven’t cleaned it yet.»
After cleaning the rest of the tables he came to take our drink order. It was clear the boy had no training. He didn’t know all of what was on the menu or what the dishes were made up of… sad. We ordered an appetizer of wontons, Singapore noodles and Yellow Curry Cream Sauce Shrimp. Let me tell you this is absolutely the worst tasting Asian food I have ever tried to eat. When the wontons came, I kid you not, there was less than a quarter size filling in each. Some of them even had less than a wonton strip full of filling! When I brought the boy server to the table to address it and had it taken back to the kitchen to show the chef he told me that sometimes, depending on who makes them, they are less full. Really kid, that was ridiculous and a poor excuse. PHOTO IS ATTACHED!
As for the yellow «cream sauce» curry… it was not a cream sauce at all and definitely not as pictured on their menu. Photo is also attached.
Sorry to say this but I was highly disappointed, will never return and absolutely would not recommend anyone choose this joint if you are looking for Authentic Thai or Chinese.

Came in for dinner last night, Mr Chop Chop is a family run business where the husband wife and even the teenage son’s were working.
You won’t get fancy décor, it’s away from the strip and in a run down mostly vacant strip center. I was a little reluctant eating here, but seeing this family working reminded me of myself working at my families Chinese restaurant years ago — when I was only 15 years old.
Mr. Chop Chop is tiny place but their food is tasty, has generous portions and is reasonable. I ordered the fish cake appetizer (awesome dipping sauce), Chili paste delight with catfish and yellow curry chicken.
Overall I was happy with the quality and taste here and would recommend Mr Chop Chop for lunch or dinner.

Totally hole in the wall type of restaurant.
I had a calamari appetizer and pad thai. The calamari was really good but the sauce needs to be a bit spicier. The pad thai was not great, the noodles was too chewy. I thought it was undercooked.
The price is perfect, not that expensive for their lunch specials. BUT quality is just not that good for me.
