We came here after the UFC fights one night and was told there was a wait. We discovered being closer to the door expedited that wait. Once we got in the doors we had a fantastic experience delivered by Sean, who it turns out was the manager. The food though we wanted pho, which was sold out, was accommodated to a pho broth that my husband enjoyed thoroughly. He even enjoyed and came back board the next day. Everything was delicious and we will be back.

Sean was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The food was excellent, bamboo 8 is a great choice for pho ?

Hands down the worst experience of all the restaurants at the casino. Thought we would try this place for Veteran's day, as we've been to most of the other establishments here. Took way too long to be seated, food was way overpriced for what you get, and food takes forever to get there. We literally only ordered hot and sour soup, noodles, and soup dumplings. Noodles came out in about 20 minutes. Soup at about 40 (and was lukewarm) and dumplings never came. At about an hour and ten minutes they told us they were never put in the steamer. No "hey let us get that for you" or "is there anything we can do", nothing. Also sat for over an hour and not one person ever asked if I needed another drink or a refill. 1/10 we won't be back for any reason. Save time and money and LITERALLY go anywhere but here.

The food is overpriced and portions are small. Additionally, the food gave both the Mrs. and I diarrhea.

Absolute Rubbish !there were 5 in our party each entree came out 5 minutes apart and every entree was cold obviously they didn't microwave the box entree long enough I had seafood, vegetable , noodle stir fry the noodles were rancid top ramen fried raw in rancid oil there were exactly 4 cold shrimp and 4 dime size "scallops " raw no less !there were no vegetables unless you count the onions Dont eat there ! Worst food I've ever eaten in my 67 years !!the other entrees were worse if you can even fathom that At 24 bucks an entree it shouid be a criminal offense

Egg rolls were mushy & soggy like they were frozen. The ho fun noodles were 80% onions and bean sprouts. Barely any noddles. I expected the salt and pepper prawns to be tiger shrimp head instead it was headless and butter grilled deep with barely and peppers. Way over priced for the quality and quantity.

Overall was a really terrible experience. We had 4 adults and 1 child. Ordered 2 appetizers and 4 meals. 40 minutes after ordering I got my meal - seafood noodles. Noodles were hot and seafood on top was cool and not completely cooked. Seafood was 3 or 4 shrimp and 3 or 4 tiny prawns - flavor was ok. 10 minutes later an appetizer came, a few minutes later another meal, then another appetizer a few minutes later, then finally another 15 minutes and the last 2 meals came. We had 3 drinks and the bill was over $250. 3 of the 4 people had stomach issues the next day and everyone agreed was overpriced, poorly served with appetizers taking over an hour and meal served to one person before any appetizers then another person being served after everyone else was done. Restaurant would not survive if not in the casino.

This star rating is regarding the food, specifically the pho. It had no flavor or pho seasoning aromas from the broth. Would not recommend it to a friend.Prices were steep but expected from a classy, well-designed restaurant inside of a casino.As for the service and drinks...magnificent! The hostess welcomed us immediately at the door and our waitress was extremely attentive and kind.
I ordered the short ribs and we shared the green beans and beef shumai. All was flavorful and we all enjoyed what we ordered.

5 star cocktails! So good! I had the Shanghai Nights , they also have these cool bamboo straws! I got a cocktail to go After dinner as well, it was so tasty, it was a special and beautifully presented. We have not visited this restaurant inside Ilani until tonight, even though we go often, so glad we did! It's a hidden gem! I feel like it gets overlooked. The food was amazing as well, great presentation and the garlic green beans were fantastic! We will definitely visit again! This is a must try. My only suggestion would be to add chicken as a protein option, I am not a seafood fan.

I travel to Longview for work frequently. Their best Chinese food is Panda Express, so in my search for authentic Chinese food, I drove 30 minutes to this place. Their food is definitely authentic Chinese not American Chinese. If you're craving orange chicken or beef with broccoli this is not the place. I had their foie gras Angus beef fried rice. It was outstanding. I was so happy with the entree I decided to try a dessert and got sweet osmanthus flowers and glutinous rice dumplings. It tasted like mildly sweet Dial soap. I grew up in Hong Kong and can say this dessert was for the birds. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Otherwise, I was very happy with my dining experience.
