China’s Noodle King Brings Hot Soups to Spring Mountain Road

China’s “most popular noodle brand” launched its first U.S. expansion at Shanghai Plaza on Spring Mountain Road, creating a casual, contemporary, full-service restaurant highlighted by “endless refillable bowls” of noodle soup prepared with a braised, bone-in, pork broth.

A neighbor to the newly opened Tea Maison on the ground floor of the still under construction retail and dining center, Dagu Rice Noodle’s house specialty soups are brought to the table and rested on a 200 degree warmer.

Already promoting itself as the “best rice noodle restaurant in Las Vegas” and already finding an early audience, on the menu, appetizers including fried chicken cutlets for $6.99, $4.99 marinated beef shank, or the sliced ox tendon in Sichuan chili sauce,

Diners can choose between boiling rice noodle soup served in a stone bowl, prepared with a choice of proteins including shrimp, satay beef stew, and shredded chicken, or the “Crossing the Bridge” option, with ingredients provided separately for customers to drop, mix and dip into their meal.

Dagu Rice Noodle, 4284 Spring Mountain Road, Suite 106, 702-665-4083. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., closing at 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
