Best Vegas Chinatown Restaurants

For anyone who wants to eat off the Strip, this guide picks the strongest restaurants in Las Vegas Chinatown, the corridor that runs along Spring Mountain Road and out to Jones Boulevard on its west end. The mix covers Shanghainese dumplings, modern American plates, serious omakase, ramen and Mexican fine dining.

Shanghai Taste's pork and crab xiao long bao earned chef-owner Jimmy Li James Beard recognition. Sparrow + Wolf, from chef Brian Howard, serves globe-trotting plates in a cozy room. Monta Ramen has long been a locals' benchmark for rich tonkotsu with chashu, and Amador Cocina Fina brings refined regional Mexican cooking to the west end. Izakaya Go runs a late happy hour that even discounts toro. Plan ahead: Kame Omakase and Kabuto Edomae Sushi need reservations well in advance, and at Shanghai Taste it pays to arrive at opening.
