I Ate at Vegas’ Most WEIRDLY Named Restaurant! (Washing Potato Review)

Those black things are not mushrooms in the congee.. those are thousand year old eggs😅

Tim Lee was just in Vegas. You meet him? I find his videos unwatchable but he did go to an interesting AYCE dim sum parlor.

We are not locals, but we do love local content. We have traveled to Vegas many times over the years. And the way we do Vegas is much more away from the strip. These days. Targeted entertainment, food and what's new in the area. Home base is often the m resort, so Henderson is our neighborhood when we're there. Keep them coming.

I visited Washing Potato with Norma shortly after it opened and I remember enjoying our experience! And I liked sitting on the EDM DJ stage 😅

The concept of "luxury dim sum" and "luxury ramen" is so strange. These are supposed to be places for people to have a simple meal for a low cost in Asia. Still loving your motto!

Good video as always. Thanks for sharing. Strip casinos cheese infested Italian food and overpriced Chinese food? No thanks. Chinatown only for half the price and as good or better.

350 at the Fountainblue is surprisingly inexpensive. Well done!

We’ll try that next time.😊😊😊

Oh wow that’s really good Video from our man shin !!! PRESIDENT XI JINPING

I really don’t like that to get the pri fixe menu you need 2 people ordering that. I know they do it to ensure a higher profit from each table but that’s honestly pretty lame. Thank you for sharing, shin. Blessings to you and your loved ones.

Thanks Shin! Next time I want to spend 4x Chinatown prices, I’ll check it out. 😂

Great video keep up good work

I never would have guessed by its name that it served Chinese food. All the food look delicious but unfortunately, there was a couple of misses. Glad You & Your Parents enjoyed a nice meal together!

when i first read the title i was not expecting this to be a Chinese restaurant lol, i was expecting some sort of a burger bar or a seafood boil

I find it interesting that all of your favorites are mine too! Beef chow fun , mapo tofu, congee, and the curry dish! Too bad their beef wasn’t better! Great job, as usual!

Another stellar review. Is it just me, or do you find the name of this place one of the worst you've ever encountered?

What a service you provide not only to your viewers, but also to the restaurants! I hope they appreciate and incorporate the clear, expert, detailed, good faith and polite feedback!

Great review Shin!! I love the name and decor. It seems the food might be good enough to justify the novelty of telling people I ate at Washing Potato on my vegas trip. 😂

Hi Shin! Another great review. If I haven’t mentioned it lately you are the best. I always enjoy your videos. I always wondered how that place was. It seems like a good place for the classics. I’m glad you and your parents enjoyed your dinner. Have a wonderful week and see you next Saturday. Take care. 😀

Thanks Shin!!!! I need to go check out Fountain Bleu restaurants next time I'm in Vegas for sure🎉

I stay at fontainebleau multiple times a year and it's kinda embarrassing how many times I've eaten at washing potato lol. Sometimes I go two times in one stay lol. The beef chow fun is my fav along with black bean spare rib.

Have anyone tried contramar?

I want that curry dish ❤

What I really like about your videos is your positive attitude towards everything. Even the dishes that aren't to your liking, besides highlighting the negatives, you always leave your review in a positive note, knowing that the restaurant and it's chefs would never purposely provide food that is below expectations. This is why to me your food content and reviews are always a cut above the others. Thanks for another great video!

ok. that hargow is terrible. i'm not talking about the filling. i'm talking about the skin. this is honestly has the appearance of store bought hargow.

the wrapper is suppose to be (after it has cooled a touch) translucent. You can see the 'pinkness' of the shrimp filling. its thin and delicate without being gummy nor tearing. This is a thick piece of rice flour dough. The filling looks decent. I would not pay much for that in a yum chai restaurant.

the shumai which is the other staple to see how good dim chef chef is. umm is only slightly better. It looks to be a farce, not chopped which i would have expected at this price point.
the dim sum so far shows me its closer to ping pang pong. at golden corral (which.. isnt that good..) than it is to the tim ho wan in the palms. which is also just above par from where I am in.

also, those are not wonton wrappers. those are glutinous rice/tapioca flower wrappers for the hargow, and tomato thing. A wonton wrapper is the yellow thing you saw on the shumai.

you can see they are using good ingredients. tthe lotus wrap you can see the dried scallop. I think for that one its an execution error. It has been steamed too long, or sat in the steamer for too long. that look of the rice when you opened it. it shouldnt really be like that.

i see they chose to go with an older style of the baked char sui bao. with a cookie topper. looks ok.

the pan fried beef noodle. honestly looks pretty good. the noodles are separated, not clumping. Good colour. your comment about the beef; that would imply that they didnt marinate/velvet the beef well,, or at all. I think their wok station maybe their strongest.

My take away is "go for stuff that comes off the wok, dont get dim sum.. " or.. just dont go. go to chinatown.

Nice to see you back in your element at more of an upscale restaurant. The last few videos were a bit of a tough watch. It seemed like you were soldiering on through the experience, as my observation was those dining experiences were not on par with the usual level of dining environments where your true talents of food description and enjoyment shine, as they do in restaurants like these.

Overpriced dim sum for suckers.

Seems like Chyna Club at Fountainebleu is the better choice for Asian food while staying on property. Love your thorough and honest reviews Shin! ❤

Shin curious have you streamed this place prior?

We ate at the restaurant twice. Like it a lot! Thanks for the nice presentation 👍👍👍

Hii Shin!! I’m in Vegas for the next couple of days and while I’m not at the Fontainebleau, I am all the way at the other end of the strip so I will be trying some of my Shin approved options down by the Mandalay Bay. I do plan to try washing potato when I stay at Fontainebleau though so thanks for a great review!

Omg now I need to try the curry!!!

Man, all that food looks good bro. He reminds me of when I ate at the Kansas snow frog.

Loved the review

Beef chow fun at Blossoms at the Aria is good. I know someday you will do a video there.

Seems like good food. I guess I would need a cab ride from the middle of the strip. Do you think it’s worth it?

Hi Shin. Long Flight from South Korea. Are your parents staying on the strip?

THE CURRY WAS THE WINNER

GREAT REVIEW AS USUAL....

An interesting find! I really like this menu. Sounds like there were hits and misses, but I'm intrigued and might want to try it. One of the great things about following you over the years is that you've opened my eyes to places that I hadn't even heard of nor considered. Thanks for sharing!

An interesting commentary for oriental dining enthusiasts, an informative video for those like me who only recognized General's Chicken on the menu and might want to to dive deeper into that experience. The fact that you can tell that ingredients are in house prepared is very encouraging. If you are trying something new, 3rd rate quality ruins your opinion and removes the desire to experiment further. Top quality makes you want to try other, new paths.

Heard some good and some not too good about this place. I'll be staying at Fontainebleau starting tomorrow and I might try a meal here.

Can get the same in Chinatown. Thanks for the easy skip on this one Shin
