Orchids Garden Chinese Restaurant

Copy Link

This busy Chinese restaurant off the Strip serves some of Vegas’s top dim sum, with carts roving through the dining room all day long with bites like pork shumai, shrimp har gow (shrimp dumpling in rice flour wrapping), and chicken feet. At dinner, crab claw and roasted duck ($9.28 each) make the most expensive items on the menu. Open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. In a more residential neighborhood, the same restaurant family owns Dim Sum Cafe (3700 South Hualapai Way) with a menu of dumplings and more with prices starting at $3.15. The stuffed eggplant and pan-fried chive dumpling are among the most requested dishes.
