ChiAm Dim Sum Arrives at the Boulevard Mall

ChiAm

Address: 3528 S. Maryland Parkway

Status: Open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Ambitious local brand ChiAm has brought its “quality meat, farm-grown vegetables and organic choices” to the Boulevard Mall, creating only the second dining option separate from the food court for the 49-year old institution.

Taking over part of the quickly shuttered Hatari Restaurant & Sports Bar, ChiAm’s operators also launched Italian full-service concept Mamma Olivia at the mall last month.

The latest counter service expansion serves dim sum choices like dumplings, siu mai and pork buns, with larger beef or chicken entrees and sides including noodles or rice. The mall location has added salads and beef or chicken burgers to the menu.

ChiAm had once promised multiple future locations would eventually circle Las Vegas. But after closing its Craig Road outpost earlier this year, leaving behind a single outpost at 6300 W. Charleston Blvd., the company is now looking to expand at a much smaller pace, touting "ChiAm Blue Diamond" and another future home in Laughlin.
