Hmmmmmm....... Okay, if you have lived in Vegas for more than 15 years this would come as no surprise, Michael Gaughan's places has always had excellent chinese food in his coffee shops. To clarify the story, when Boyd took over Coast, one of the first moves after Michael left to take over the South Point was to get rid of the Chinese food in the coffee shop at the Gold Coast and fire the chefs. The baccarat play dropped by 50% over night. Of course the big bosses said "Don't worry, the players will come back". They didn't, Boyd tried to rehire the chefs, but surprisingly, they had all gone to the South Point. The Won Ton soup was to die for at the Gold Coast and it still is as the South Point.
Well, I had been to the Coronado three times prior to our Prime Rib video and no one ever gave me a Chinese menu or even mentioned it to me. Maybe I don't look like someone who would be interested, but it took me asking about the Chinese food I saw going to another table before someone filled me in. In addition, I've had several comments from viewers who mentioned that they had been to the Coronado many times and didn't realize there was a Chinese menu. So, I'm definitely not alone on the surprised feeling. Thanks for the more detailed story about how events transpired to bring excellent Chinese Food to SouthPoint. Having been in the restaurant business for years I marvel at how clueless some of these large companies can be. Small changes can have huge impacts. Large changes can be devastating!
When I saw your review of this place, I was astounded. Now I absolutely adore Chinese food, but usually it's the food that comes from a 13.95 all you can eat buffet. (we live in New Hampshire and don't have those crazy buffets out here) The look and quality of those items that you purchased were unbelievable. I didn't realize that you could get Chinese food like that. Now you're definitely paying up, but as a once in a great while treat, I think that place would rock! My dad and I both watched your video tonight, and when it ended I looked over to him and said "that man spent some cash at that place" :p In all honesty though, I probably would only want 3 or 4 items, so it' wouldn't be too terribly bad. I'd definitely be getting that General chicken and pork AND the rolls & coconut chicken. Excellent review! Keep up the good work.
Thanks Josh! Yep, we have it good here in the Chinese food department compared to New Hampshire! Thanks for watching and commenting...you should visit Vegas with your dad and get some real Chinese food, 😋😋
@@LetsEatVegas Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. Vegas is definitely on my bucket list to visit. I think it would be a fantastic place to hang out during the winter time :) I'm gonna go find another one of your videos to watch for later. Thanks again!
Our pleasure! You're going to love it! And, don't let 'jerryw7359' find out you didn't know they had a Chinese Menu or he'll call you an idiot also, lol.
I eat regularly at The Coronado Cafe. If there is a "secret menu" that I'm not aware of, in addition to the Chinese menu which is included in the "regular" menu, I'm not aware of it, especially since all the dishes shown in this video -which is nicely photographed- are the ones I know from the Chinese menu which is part of the regular menu. - A better way to describe this might have been to note that many visitors are not aware that Coronado Cafe has a standard Chinese menu, as opposed to making viewers think that it's a closely guarded secret to be delivered to the table only when you tell the server that "Joe sent me" or words to that effect. I might also mention that the menu at the old Fiesta Henderson cafe, a property that has been demolished, was also well known for its Chinese food.
Well, I had been to the Coronado three times prior to our Prime Rib video and no one ever gave me a Chinese menu or even mentioned it to me. Maybe I don't look like someone who would be interested, but it took me asking about the Chinese food I saw going to another table before someone filled me in. Also, we do say it's a 'surprise' menu which is exactly what it was to me. In addition, I've had several comments from viewers who mentioned that they had been to the Coronado many times and didn't realize there was a Chinese menu. So, I'm definitely not alone on the surprised feeling. One other item...why did you cross out 'which is nicely photographed'? Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting.
@@LetsEatVegas I didn't cross out those words, so I don't know why they came out looking that way. It has happened to me before, and it might have something to do with my putting the words between dash symbols, which perhaps UA-cam interprets as being strike-out marks. Sorry about that, because you DID do a great job on your video quality.
Their Chinese menu hasn’t been that extensive. I was always excited just to be able to get won ton soup. We’ll have to give it a try. Love their service at Coronado Cafe.
Interesting. Well, looks like they've added a lot since you were there last. We're all the better for it! 😋😋 And yes, the service there is very good. It's one of those places you immediately feel at home.
I went to an American breakfast spot ran by Chinese people one time in Seattle. They also serve Chinese food too. When i ordered the BBQ pork omelet, i was like, what the heck? Its BBQ Pork Egg Foo Young!
Great story! These unexpected gems are the best, 😋 Hmmm, Egg Foo Young with BBQ Pork...it's like Chinese Bacon and Eggs, lol. How could that not be delicious. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Oh my god !! Where do I start here ... Every dish looked absolutely amazing ! So this is a South Point and is it available every day or .. From Jersey Jersey orginally now in LA since 98 . Used to go to NY Chinatown almost every week! The Chinese food here is okay (I guess) which brings me to the egg foo young . Which I have never been able to find in La . But that looked like the real deal when I saw the gravy ... yummy. Cant find it here . I've had it in the past and no deal , nor good ... Anyhow thanx so much for this review!! Everything looked amazingly good as well as pricing..❤
Yes, the Chinese menu is available all day and yes the Coronado Cafe is within Southpoint! As for the Egg foo young, yes, it's wonderful and they way it used to be made. They gravy was fantastic. There's another place here, Amlee Chinese Cuisine, that also makes Egg foo young this style...and they also have Pressed Duck (which they call Crispy Duck)...it's terrific!
Hello we just dined at Coronado for the 50th time and ordered the sweet n sour pork. It was not crispy and in fact not very good. I asked the waitress 3 times if they served me the chicken. I had the video playing to show my wife. Nothing like your video. I’m confused.
We definitely had the pork and it was super crispy and delicious. I'm sorry to hear your didn't get the same. I suspect the chef was different. As a reviewer I can only comment on what was served to us and it was terrific.
The gravy was fantastic! It was the best egg foo young gravy I've ever had, 😋😋. Yes, the SSPork look radioactive, lol. It was utterly delicious...still dreaming about it, 😁😁 Thanks for watching, Karla!
I see! I know the music and the movie, but I'm terrible with lyrics...and it's the first line of the song...who knew?! Well, you did, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What are you talking about. The Chinese menu is not a secret. Whenever we go to the Coronado cafe they always give us the regular dinner menu as well as the Chinese Menu. You must be the only person that does not know about this if you think this is a secret. The food is hit or miss. The last time I was there I ordered the Cashew Chicken and there were only a couple of cashews and virtually no chicken, just a lot of vegetables. I will never order that again.
Jerry, you must be the kind of guy that complains wherever you go in life. Just think about it I’m sure your exes think the same. Calm down and enjoy your life a little bit if possible.

Great job…. Love your videos.

That was the best looking Egg Foo Young I have seen!
I know, right?! There's another restaurant here, Amlee Chinese Cuisine, which makes it in a very similar way. Other than that, it's pretty bad here.
It did look good but I love The King and I in summerlin egg foo 😋 to die for
Thanks for the tip!
I saw the King and I with Yul as a teenager! @@eddieb35 hahaha I love this Summerlin Egg parody!

Hop Li on Pico Boulevard in West L.A. has egg foo young. Used to get it for my mother.
Good video … outstanding camera work
Glad you enjoyed it! We had a lot of fun making this video. It's always more fun when the food is so good, 😁😋

You're lucky it's hard to find retro Chinese here in central Florida.
Sorry to hear that. You'll have to come out and visit our Chinatown!!
I must say, I enjoy a dish with a bit more veg than you mentioned in the cashew chicken.
Prices seem rather high.
Yes, but, it is one of the larger hotel/casinos here so it kind of goes with the territory.
Interesting. The plating was retro and that shocking red SSPork! The egg foo young did look good. Wonder if the gravy was. Tks. Karla in Cali.
The gravy was fantastic! It was the best egg foo young gravy I've ever had, 😋😋. Yes, the SSPork look radioactive, lol. It was utterly delicious...still dreaming about it, 😁😁 Thanks for watching, Karla!
Those noodles looked really oily as a result of fast stir fry with lots of oil.
Not that appealing to me personally.
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand...
You lost me, lol.
From Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.
I see! I know the music and the movie, but I'm terrible with lyrics...and it's the first line of the song...who knew?! Well, you did, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Interesting...I was looking through the lyrics again and I see another reference to something we mention in this video..."Trader Vic's"! Crazy.
Werewolf has good taste.
What is the name of the restaurant?
The restaurant is Coronado Cafe. It's within the Southpoint Hotel and Casino. Enjoy!
