Some of the best Chinese food I ever ate was from a mom and pop where the plates and silverware did not match. Give me “good” food over atmosphere any time.

We are all learning social graces to use if we ever can afford an expensive restaurant. Thanks Danny. Love your videos and wish they were on every day.

expensive restaurants are just man-made businesses out to take the money from your pocket... they pretend to be a certain way to try to get people to spend money. its all fake... the real expensive meals only takes place at bruce wane's house

We're with you - we want the $15.99 chow fun with that almost-burned sear you get from the hot peanut and sesame oil. Plus, having your plate of food tossed at you by a surly waiter is an added plus!

4:02 the forks didn’t want to spoon!! 😂

That first complimentary dish you got is an amuse-bouche. It's a dish used by fancy restaurants to wake up your taste buds and prepare you for the meal.

I prefer the places where the kids are doing homework up front, the wife is yelling at the husband while he’s shaking the wok and the food pictures are faded. Those places have FANTASTIC food!

That line about a Roach was funny and brought back a memory of eating in Chinatown, NYC. I found a roach in my food. I called it to the Waiters attention, he said OK, we won't charge you for that!! 😮

Hi Danny, love your videos and I like that you give your honest opinions. I prefer good food over decor and would go for the $15 dish 👍

I will take the $15 plate anytime! You can"t eat fancy decore!!!!

Great review, very detailed on beef chow fun.

Danny, you are freaking old school!!!!! You OG!!!! Love it!!!! Keep it up!!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 "Get your hands away from my crotch." LMAO

15 dollars of course, great comedy!! Loved the napkin bit and charger plate comments 😅

I definitely enjoy good food prepared with hands of a dedicated cook that takes time necessary to bring out the best flavors of the food. Today's fast-food pressures of quantity and not quality means most restaurants do not have this achievement regardless of the ambiance. No to the make believe of gourmet food. I agree with you totally. Thanks.

Ah yes, eating Beef Chow Fun to Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C Major.

Lol I was wondering when u were gonna have beef chow fun again, it has been a long time!

I’m a cheap SOB too. I go to my favorite Chinese take out in Flushing (Chinatown); order Beef Chow Fun, and watch the chef toss my meal, with flames shooting up two feet above the wok. It cost me for a quart: $8.75(including tax). I walk one block, back to my apartment and enjoy my meal with tap water!

I most recently learned that the two chopsticks are for different uses. One is for you to use for yourself. The other is for you to use when you pick food off plates when sharing. This is especially useful when you are at a table using a "lazy Susan" with multiple dishes.

Guy Fieri had a tv show called "Diners, Drive Thru & Dives" or Triple D. DTM is the new triple d (Dine & Dash Danny) 😂. I'm with you DTM I don't need the "fancy", I want the "food".

When you’re back in NYC, you can find good beef chow fun in Flushing, Queens, Sunset Park, Brooklyn, Chinatown, Manhattan for cheap. Thanks so much for your honest review!

Made me laugh soooo hard!

The search for the perfect Beef Chow Fun continues...always exciting to find great wok sear.

I lived in las Vegas and work never like the overpriced strip. I prefer downtown or off strip. Thanks as always a honest review.😊

As a working man, I'll take the $15 Chow Fun. My blessed Mother, may she rest in peace, upon seeing a cockroach 🪳, she would say, "Don't worry. They don't eat much! 😂

how dare you co-mingle the chopsticks !!! lol

Danny REALLY doesn't want waiters to put his napkin in his lap for him. (And you would have probably avoided it too, if you hadn't gone fishing for your ID. 🤣) Also, I just heard RW is working on "refocusing" their resort. You'd think from their room prices these days that they were always full! 😂

The Price is irrelevant if the food is worth $32.00 and I'm satisfied then it's a great deal. When they charge $32 for meal that is only worth 1/2 I would send it back. The places who make the $15 plate put more heart and soul then the $32 places 99% of the Time

You made your utensils spoon with each other. It looked like they were forking each other after spooning

But did the hostess give you the prewrapped sesame red bean ball as you left? That thing was delicious!

Gotta love the amuse-bouche

Do they make Chow Fun with chicken, shrimp, or pork? Does some restaurant make a combination Chow Fun with all the standard Chinese restaurant proteins? i.e., beef, chicken, shrimp, and pork combined?

Long story short, you're a fool if you ever eat on the strip and pay 3X the price for EVERYTHING. 🤣😂🤑

You seem like a fun guy to eat Beef Chow Fun with. 🤤

You are correct in your observations, the more expensive Chinese food, the worse it tastes. The less expensive, moderately priced Chinese food is much tastier and better. It’s worth an Uber drive or renting a car to get to LV Chinatown.

THAT is truly a very fancy plate, when they take the napkin off of your plate and place it in your lap. I prefer the $15 place.

Decoy plate.....lol

Excellent analysis of the expensive but mediocre "beef chow fun" experience at RW. Thank you for identifying what the rest of the money paid for. I prefer the $15 plate of beef chow fun experience at a regular Chinese restaurant. I would give all the beef to my BF and eat the chow fun myself. The chow fun of beef chow fun tastes really good.

Those points are well made. When I go to eat at a restaurant, food and tastes matter most, the service cones second.

Your dish is decent. We had BCF at Noodle Bar at Fallsview casino for $28, no angus beef cut, almost half the portion you had. These places are too fancy schancy for me. I prefer my BCF at a local Chinese food court for $8 (tax included).

You should have ask for more discount! 😂

You got your beef chow fun comped? You must have lost some money for them to give you something for "free." I think I got what are saying, don't wok away from those "hole-in-the-wall" Chinese restaurants. Danny, your vlogs are always entertaining, please keep them coming.

I like Wo Hop Chinatown, NYC the best Beef and Broccoli. Tastes like steak. Best Chinese restaurant for me for 40 years. I'm in Mexico fo r the winter.

Up priced from up service and up decor. This is contradictory to the DTM motto of being a cheap SOB.

Where is the best beef chow fun in Las Vegas?

I preferred the $15 until you mentioned the cockroach.

Danny, everything you said in this video is correct. I dont like that kind of service. Like you said. I prefer doing it myself. The resturant is over priced. I would not eat there. Dont need gold silverware or design plates. Not worth going there i rather eat in chinatown.

Give me the 15$ plate. The b.s. fluff just irritates me due to the errogance of the rich.

Yup, feel the same way about expensive Chinese food. Its always just okay to good, maybe our taste buds are less amazed because we know the price. Nothing AMAZING though. There's places that will charge a slight upcharge because they are open late or serve a made to order menu. Two best examples are like Ping Pang Pong (open late. . . only really good at late night. . idk why) and my favorite dim sum restaurant, Lunasia in Southern California, which serves made to order dim sum. They charge slightly more, but both places quality actually justifies the upcharge. This is just rich people fluff.

You are paying for the brass to the table setting. That’s all I am going to say..

Where's the best beef chow fun you've ever had?

Expensive

I have the same promotion and will be staying there in 2 weeks. I'm not sure where I'll use the $100 dining credit. Likely not for beef chow fun.

My favorite Chinese dish is beef chow fun. I remember the price used to be around $3, but this is in 1970-80's. Now, in southern California, it's around $18-20. Your video at Genting Palace for chow fun at $32 would make me faint. I'm sure you food for videos are tax deductible against the revenue views from KZread. Your rating of 6.5 is low for strip food. Better go down the street in China town (Las Vegas). My number #2 chinese dish is spicy pork chop.

Love this guy..He is on the cheap side..

The $15.00 chow fun minus the cockroach. The other place is jok gee. 😂

I understand your dialect! Probably because we have the same last name.

you need to come to San Francisco for the Chinese food, at reasonable prices, rather generous potions with wok hei flavor , with proper sized chow fun noodles---Beef Chow fun is served at all the Chinese restaurants. Basic service, good food, basic accomodations, reasonable prices.

Is there a $25 dollar option? I'd probably get startled and flip the plate over if I saw a cockroach 🪳 on the table at the $15 place 😮

Danny I prefer cheap Chinese food any day over expensive pretentious mess. My favorite local place has appetizers most under $10 and my go to entree large shrimp fried rice, add egg, extra shrimp is $15. Wonton soup $5.00 large. Two meals for under $30!

$52 Beef Chow Fun only if it is made with Wagyu beef. $32 with angus beef is overpriced. $14 Ha Gow only if it is made with foot long thai tiger shrimps. NYC Chinatown's beef chow fun still rules. I usually compare the beef chow fun to the beef chown fun from the old Noodletown.

If it's cooked in a wok, I want to taste the wok. Nothing makes me more disappointed than Chinese food that doesn't have that nice char flavour. For 32 bucks, I'd expect more. Even on the video, I could see they'd padded the dish with bean sprouts. Disappointing.

For some folks, all they want is tasty food and not willing to pay for the ambience and dining experience. So... something like this would definitely be wasted. I suggest going back to authentic restaurants to get that experience. Personally, I don't have a problem paying a premium to be treated well and have a relaxing evening as at time it's more than just the food.

@@dannythemedic To be treated well means the staff has to expend the effort to make it happen which in turn means $$$. It's not that complicated. If all you want is great food at reasonable price points, skip these types of establishments and go to Chinatown / authentic restaurants where the prioroity is the food, not the ambience. If you want to be pampered, then be prepared to pay for it. For me , I do both depending on how I feel at that moment. Good news is we have choices on how to spend our $$$.

I understand what you are saying. I believe that the different aspects of such dining experiences have nothing to do with one another, it is all independent and luck of the draw Aspects: Food / Service / Price / Employee Performance / At any given time and place, it can be a mix of any of those. In my experience, Paying High price does not mean great food. Paying Low price does not mean crap food. Getting Pamper service does not mean high price Getting Crap Service does not mean Low price Paying high price does not mean getting chef expertise etc etc etc So the only thing that is guaranteed when going to a high price place, is that you will be paying a high price. The credit card debt will be higher or the bank account balance will be lower or the cash in your safe will be less. that is all that is guaranteed. You dont always get Good food. I have been to places that was high price and did not come with good food. The reverse is true So the only thing that is guaranteed when going to a low price place, is that you will be paying a low price. You dont always get bad food. I have been to places that was low price and came with amazingly good food. the saying "you get what you pay for" is not true in the restaurant world!

$15 Let's go!

The fancy is nice, but I don't have to have it. I'll stick to the "working man" places😊

Ambience over flavorful food?

I can make you a $1,000 beef chow fun. The beef would be aged for 65 days, and the dish would be garnished with gold paper.

$32 for beef chow fun is such a ripoff. You are paying extra for the place, not the foods. Don’t be a sucker next time. Go for the foods, not the decors.
