If you have ever stayed in Bellagio or passed through its casino floors, you probably have seen a line forming outside this restaurant at any given time. These anxious people know a secret: Noodles is home to the best authentic wonton-mein soup outside of Hong Kong and Toronto. I have been to this Chinese-American-operated restaurant approximately 12 times in the last 5 years; and, its quality has not degraded since my inauguration. The broth of its wonton-mein is delicate (not salty) and its fresh thin egg noodle is firm with the perfect starch-egg ratio taste that melts away in your mouth. \n\nTo complement this dish, I recommend their quarter roasted duck. While it is on the expensive side, their tender dark meat selection is usually outstanding and beautifully cooked, leaving a nice crispy skin. The duck comes with their bone neatly trimmed off; however, you can request for the bones should you want to extract some its flavors by dipping its caramelized seasoning into your soup as some people do. \n\nThe other selections on Noodles' extensive menu are very good but not spectacular save for the delicious oxtail soup. Though the dim sum here is usually excellent, especially the gorgeous Shanghai dumpling and the siu mai, there have been two occasions where these selections have failed me. \n\nThe service here is usually quick and fast like most Chinese restaurants in New York, San Francisco Bay Area, Toronto, or LA. The wait staff is straight-forward and no-nonsense; and, the hosts are friendly and efficient even when the line is 10 parties deep. \n\nAs mentioned by another reviewer, I would not order any beverages here other than tea. The sodas do not come with refills. I personally recommend their Jasmine Pearl tea, which comes in a porcelain pot.\n\nBut, no matter what you order, you must try what many people love about this restaurant: the wonton-mein soup.
