Mainland Restaurant, Palazzo Las Vegas

Mainland Restaurant, Palazzo Las Vegas

While in Vegas, I checked out the recently opened Palazzo Hotel. The shopping center part is connected to the Venetian’s Grand Canal Shops via a brand spankin’ new Barney’s New York store. The Barney’s store there is huge, fabulous, and gorgeous. Of course all that walking and (window) shopping can make ya hungry, so I checked out Mainland, a fun restaurant that’s all about noodles. Here’s a link to an interview with the creator of it. The atmosphere is fun, I loved all the graphics. The food looked amazing. I had a kiwi soda, that you could tell was made fresh with real kiwi juice and soda water. My only gripe was everything I ordered was a teensy bit… bland? I ordered this green tea noodle salad, and my friend ordered the ginger beef. Both were nice- it wasn’t bad, but we both felt it could use a little more… salt? soy sauce? The presentation was great, but even the kiwi soda, could have used a bit more sugar? Maybe I was having a bad taste sensory day. Service was fine, staff was nice. I dunno- I would definitely go back and try something else, maybe the soupy noodles, so… it’s worth a try…
