Underwhelming. Came for a UYE with my guy, met up with a bunch of fellow Unilocalers. Service was decently attentive and polite, but product was dismal despite the discounted rate we were offered. Leos was telling us all about the company background– they have the same concept restaurant in China, where they do very well. Décor, particularly the lighting, is clearly very expensive and upscale. White and red minimalist style with wood tables and creative drawings on the wall make this an attractive place, and the giant shrimp on their exterior signage is eye-catching. But this particular plaza is not highly trafficked and the signage is mostly missed by street traffic– not sure where they’re advertising but to be as empty as they were on a Friday night, it is clearly not enough. The crawfish we had only came in two flavors: their house Hot Feel sauce and garlic, available in mild, medium, and hot. Flavors were not very pronounced and were rather one-note with a lack of depth but they were not bad. I notice a lot of other reviews complimenting their garlic shrimp, and would consider returning to try them– but if they’re in the same sauce I don’t think I would be impressed. Price point is the same as Hot N Juicy, but quality of product and flavor of sauces is not on par with the competition. Also tried the lamb skewers at Leos’ recommendation, and while they weren’t bad it didn’t do anything for me. They are better skewers than what I recently had from Fat Dumpling down the street recently though. Cool event, one of the few UYE’s I’ve attended and I was glad to be able to bring my guy. Would go to another of Leos’ events in the future.

I feel good… and I knew that I would. Big thanks to Mr. Leos(or Leo if you’re nastay). Great time and lots of good eating! I never knew about this place before this UYE. It’s located in the same shopping center next to a sexy girl massage parlor and the Kihn Do and HK Seafood Garden restaurants. The space is actually pretty huge. I like the custom made round cut out booths that are in the center, it looks so modern and fancy. It’s the same concept of like Hot n Juicy and Boiling Crab, but they offer much more, like skewers. There are actually 5 locations located in China and this is the first one in Vegas. I was like«Hmmm». Then the food came. First, we were treated to the crawfish in the Hot Feel sauce. I’m not too sure what’s in the sauce, probably lots of hot and feelings. It had a nice kick and wasn’t too spicy. My favorite was the garlic flavor. It had a little bit of heat and the garlic flavor wasn’t too overpowering. The crawfish were pretty tasty but there is a reason why they call them mudbugs. Some of them were really good, others had a muddy taste. It was my first time eating crawfish, and it will be my last. But some people like that flavor. I’d probably come back to try the shrimp here. The skewers were OK too, and they are cheap. Probably get some skewers too. The $ 10AYCE was only for this event so don’t expect it EVERAGAIN lol.
