Wing Lei Las Vegas

The atmosphere at Wing Lei Las Vegas is one of elegant serenity. The decor, featuring the lavish gold dining room, was inspired by classical Chinese jewel boxes. The warm golden hues, contrasted by the crisp white of the tablecloths and soft florals, offer a soothing element. 

Century-old pomegranate trees sit as the backdrop, making you feel as though you’ve been transported away from the buzz and energy of the Las Vegas Strip.  

Given the top-notch culinary scene in Las Vegas, you might think that the city is home to countless Michelin Star restaurants. This isn’t true. Michelin Stars are prestigious and difficult to earn, and there are only a handful of restaurants in Las Vegas that have earned one of the highest culinary accolades. Wing Lei is one of these restaurants, and it has the distinction of being the very first Chinese restaurant in North America to be awarded a Michelin Star. 

Wing Lei has received one Michelin Star. This means that Wing Lei is viewed as being very good in its category of cuisine, and the restaurant is known for consistently achieving a high standard of quality with the menu, food, and service. 

Appetizers 

Wing Lei Las Vegas is a fine dining restaurant, and the thought that’s put into Chef Ming Yu’s dishes is evident from the very first glance of the menu, including the appetizer section. The selection of starters goes far beyond what you might find at other high-end Chinese restaurants. 

The Garden dim sum is light, refreshing, and a tantalizing way to begin the meal. The crispy shrimp toast features pickled cabbage, dried plums, and plum sauce. For a bit of a richer start to the meal, the honey-glazed BBQ spare ribs with papaya salad never disappoint. 

If you aren’t quite sure which appetizer to pick, the Wing Lei sampler is perfect for two people to share. It features crispy shrimp toast, BBQ spare ribs, and the famous Alaskan king crab salad. 

Soups are also available, with options that include a Cantonese wonton soup with baby bok choy or a seafood hot and sour soup that’s prepared with seasonal mushrooms, bamboo, Maine lobster, scallops, shrimp, and snow crab. 

Prices for the appetizer menu vary depending on what you choose, but most are between $20-$30. The sampler and a few others cost a bit more. 

Seafood

One of the high points of the menu from Wing Lei’s Kitchen is the seafood selection. The menu offers a combination of live seafood selections featuring delicacies, along with prepared seafood dishes that have become true favorites on the menu, 

For the live seafood, consider a selection such as the Washington Dungeness Crab, Maine Lobster, or Cambodian Goby. All live seafood selections are priced at current market prices. 

A little further down the menu, you’ll find seafood dishes, such as fried prawns with candied walnuts, wok-fried bay scallops with black truffle and Chinese sausage, or grilled marinated sea bass with sugar peas and lotus root. All of the seafood dishes are fresh and delicious.  

Main Dishes 

The main dishes at Wing Lei Las Vegas feature a collection of steaks, poultry, and noodles or rice dishes, each offering a clue as to why Wing Lei was the first Chinese restaurant to be awarded a Michelin Star in North America. 

For the carnivorous types, there is both Japanese and American Wagyu on the menu. Beef Short Ribs and a Garlic Beef Tenderloin are both tender, decadent, and full of melt-in-your-mouth flavor. The menu also features a couple of pork dishes, including Crispy Pork with sweet & sour sauce and Braised Pork Belly with a unique star anise reduction. 

Poultry dishes on the menu include one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, the Imperial Peking Duck. The Imperial Peking Duck is carved at the table and is served with the most tender steamed buns. 

The duck can be a bit rich, so if it’s a lighter poultry dish that your palate desires, the menu offers chicken with chili garlic sauce,  lemon chicken, or General Tso’s Chicken. 

For a light meal, the noodles and rice dishes are a must-try. The Yang Chow Fried Rice is a house favorite, with shrimp, BBQ pork, scallion, and egg. Another option is the Vegetable Fried Rice with sweet potato and pickled daikon. It’s unlike any vegetable fried rice we’ve tasted before. 

Steamed or brown rice is also available as an addition to your meal. 

Entrees at Wing Lei Las Vegas range in price from the lower end of the $20 range for one of the noodle or rice dishes to upwards of $320 for the Japanese Wagyu.

Vegetarian Menu

The vegetarian menu at Wing Lei Las Vegas isn’t the largest in Sin City, but the few carefully curated dishes that are featured offer unique flavors and a preparation that exceeds the standards for fine-dining Chinese food in Las Vegas.
