We finally made it to Kiyoshi’s Katsu House in Anthem. It is very similar to Ton Ton which we have been a few times before. The pork is super thick and tender so if you are craving Katsu, this is the place to go. This location has a great atmosphere and worth the drive.
Mr Tofu is a very different Korean restaurant. They are known for their Hot Pot (soup) but have a lot of other interesting menu selections. They bring 16 banchan dished to your table which is the most I have ever seen. I had to try the bibimbap as that is my go to dish. Next time I would stick with the pork or try one of the hot pots. Well worth a visit if you want to break away from the Korean BBQ scene.
BTW, the original Hwaro that burned down last year just reopened on Spring Mountain Rd.
We were really excited to try Fugetsu. They have Okonomiyaki on the menu. This is not seen often in the US. We had some wonderful Hiroshima style okonomiyaki in Nara last year. They have an ‘All you can eat’ option but that is the last thing I need. They have a ton of things on the menu but we kept it simple for a change. The atmosphere is nice but the music was horrible. They had a loud Kpop/rap thing going which made us leave as soon as possible.
The Okonomiyaki + noodles = Modanyaki looked really good but was burned on the bottom and soggy in the middle. I think this location just opened and they are probably still have some kinks to work out. Hope to see progress someday in the next visit.
Jeanie and I ventured out to try a new restaurant in town – Lighthouse Restaurant.
The menu is very simple yet practical for the area, senior residential area, a motel, and Hemenway Park near-by.
We both liked our sandwiches 😊
Next time, I’m taking Rob out to try the steaks!
Upon shopping at Smith’s on Valle Verde in Henderson, we found donuts shop called Mochinut.
There are many franchises all over California, and started to come in Las Vegas area, yet we did not really know about it until recently.
They are very light yet still has mochi texture due to its batter being made from rice powder. We like them 🙂
We do eat well here every night. Sometimes simple, sometimes fancy.
We have ordered takeout from Fox Smokehouse a number of times, but eating out of styrofoam is never the best option. So we went in person. They spent a small fortune renovating the old Casa Flores building in town. The place was packed. The parking lot is tiny so expect to park in the street and walk, but it’s worth it. Portions are huge and you will have leftovers.
We haven’t had Indian food for a long time so we tried out a new place in Henderson. Ashiana is Northern India style. The owners (?) working there were super friendly and nice. I noticed they were playing Bhupinder Singh in the background. Have been listening to him since hearing this song on the Shantaram. Anyway. We started with Chicken 65, Samosas, and mango lasse. We then pigged out on Lamb Biryani, Mahi Mahi tikki masala, chicken mango curry, and garlic naan.
Of everything, the masala was truly magical. We need to go back and try a few other things on the menu.
We haven’t ventured into the ChinaTown/SpringMountain area in a while (due to gas prices) but were told by the previous owner of China Bistro to check out SK seafood.
This is real Cantonese style cooking. They have a fish tank and were observed bringing fish and lobster to the tables to let the patrons select. We ordered lunch portions so we could try more items but every plate is HUGE. Lots of leftovers. No pictures or descriptions on the menu so you have to guess.
We don’t have TV (I haven’t watched TV in 10+ years even when traveling and in a hotel) but a local pizza place made it on the Food Channel. Vinny’s is in our rotation here in town. They made a stuffed spaghetti and meatball pizza which I cannot even type on this low carb diet. They do a pretty good eggplant parmesan and will put it inside a calzone if you ask. I typically get the Stromboli.
We were there last month and noticed all the changes. I don’t think they really do all the renovations in a single day as they were shut down for a few weeks. It is very nice inside now. We drove by last night and the parking lot was overflowing so many people are trying out the new menu.
