I was staying at the Monte Carlo and late in the day my girl wanted some soup. Something light and brothy to be easy on her stomach. So to make use of proximity we went here, hidden in the corner of the hotel. There was no wait and the restaurant looked about half full. The hostess was cool as was our waiter. He looked like he was also the bartender. \n\nHe was great, constantly checking on us before and after we ordered. My girl had the \"soup noodles\" with chicken and vegetables and I got the \"soup noodles\" with roast duck. I don't know who wrote the menu, but that's how they wrote it. \"Soup noodles with....\" \n\nThe soups came out in somewhat quickly. Normally that would be a plus for me, but in this case, not so much. I found that the noodles were a little undercooked and clumped together. The chef didn't dip them in hot water long enough to prevent them from sticking together before adding the broth. So it was like trying to eat a chewy birds nest. The roasted duck looked good, the skin was good, but the meat was very rubber like. And they prepared it in a way where it was mostly bones. So it was like eating bones with some duck meat. Very little duck meat. I've eaten a lot of duck, even at a lot of cheap Chinese restaurants. And this was the worst. Disappointing it was. The saving grace was the broth, which I thought was pretty good. \n\nOther than that I still tried to finish it all. We had a show to get to and not a lot of time to get to it. And for the what this cost, I didn't want to waste my money. \n\nSometimes places in hotel casinos are hit or miss on the quality of products and service. My visit was about half and half. I'm not sure I would come back though. Maybe.
