Fortune - Stateline

Server had his first day, and I thought he did a splendid job. Food was not good. Tempura was overly oily. Good tempura should be white, not soggy and yellow. I would not return. Overpriced.

Blossom peanuts! Eat your fill for a happy emotion.

I've had bad experiences with casino restaurants in Tahoe so I typically avoid them. However, my son injured himself and we were stuck in the hotel so we decided to give this place a try. We ordered take out and brought it to the room. We were pleasantly surprised by the fresh and flavorful food we received. We ordered: garden salad, which was fresh and had a flavorful dressing curry chicken skewers, which were tasty and good but a little too charred. Fortunately the char didn't dry out the overall skewer Thai fresh spring rolls, which were super yummy (I was very disappointed that I had to share them) (FYI the peanut sauce that comes with the skewers and fresh rolls has an nice kick, but my kids couldn't handle it) chicken chow mien, which had much larger chunks of vegetables then I am used to, but I really liked. The vegetables retained some crunchiness and had a nice wok flavor. baby bok Choi in garlic sauce, which was yummy and good, but the pieces were super big. I'm glad I had asked for forks since they came with knives. Otherwise it would have been very difficult to eat with just chop sticks. Overall pretty happy with the food and happy we decided to try it out.

I should have ran when I saw that this restaurant does sushi and Chinese food, but let's start with the service. The place was nearly empty on a Saturday night and all of the servers were up in the front yucking it up while we waited for our drinks. We finally had to wave someone over to get them. The sushi was well below average and the albacore had a weird, dry piece attached to it that was like jerky. It was inedible. The chow mein noodles were all wrong. I liked the pork buns, but you can get the same at Trader Joe's. This restaurant willl no be open for long. Avoid it.

Last weekend, we stayed at Montbleu and decided to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, it was a mistake! The spring rolls tasted like rubber, although the sushi was decent. Overall, the food was lacking in flavor. I suppose we can't expect much from a hotel restaurant. Next time, I think I'll dine outside the hotel. On the positive side, our waitress provided good service and was very pleasant.
