Description

Nestled inside Rivers Casino, this family-run Asian eatery offers clean, friendly service, quick plates and standout items like orange chicken and generous shumai. Perks include complimentary sodas, a military discount and a lively poker room, while the quieter second-floor seating and ample parking make it convenient for diners and concertgoers. Food is generally good though mid-priced; takeout portions can be modest and a few dishes run dry. The welcoming, casino-adjacent atmosphere keeps locals and visitors returning despite occasional value concerns.

We enjoyed dim sum and tea during our visit. The shumai was delightful and larger than typical, similar to big meatballs. I highly recommend ordering the 4-piece shumai, as it's bound to leave you wanting more. I gave it 4 stars because, while the service was generally excellent, we felt a bit rushed.

We ordered takeout; cashao bun only 3 pcs and not exactly supposed expecting in restaurants but Asian market's Refrigerator. And expensive.For the price of dinner, shouldn't just barely look at full container. Taste is okay for what we ordered. Beef were tender. Not bad.

This little family run restaurant used to be a five star place but they didn't make the transition to a big casino establishment without the predictable changes. It's still okay but now caters to the sort of taste that equates Asian with Chinese. It's an authentic American restaurant and the best restaurant in the casino.

A nice little vietnamese reataurant inside the rivers casino. The smells coming out of that place is what drew me to eat there. The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet for being in the casino. Food came out fast and was pretty good. I ordered pot stickers and teriyaki salmon with rice and noodles. Salmon was a tad dry, but the food came out pretty quick. Food plus a diet coke 33.00 before tip.

I stayed across the street from Mian at a hotel when my flight was canceled. I was happy to find some excellent food here after a very stressful day. The casino staff and Mian staff were kind and friendly. The food tasted great! Thank you!
