Man vs. Food and Unique Eats both made trips to this storefront in
Chinatown in Las Vegas so we were going to give it a try. A lengthy
cab ride later and we were sitting in a better looking place than I
had expected. The service was friendly if a little disjointed. The
place was filled with all sorts of people and every table was a
complete disaster, a good sign. We had hoped to get out here before
Steph’s sister joined us in Sin City but her plane was earlier than
expected. She’s not a seafood kinda gal and that's regular seafood
as opposed to thems that got faces. |

She lucked out and was able to order dinner rolls and corn fritters.
The rolls were rolls and the corn fritters were better than expected
with nibblets fried into a corn batter. The dipping sauce was spicy
which became a theme for our lunch, remember, I am the only one of
the four of us who digs the spicy stuff. At Hot N Juicy they have a
number of shellfish and mollusks which are all dosed with a variety
of sauces and then hit the table still in the bag. We ordered a
pound of king crab legs with mild garlic butter, a pound of snow
crab legs with mild lemon pepper and a pound of crawfish with the
medium hot and juicy special. The hot and juicy special is a mix of
all of their sauces…garlic butter, lemon pepper, juicy Cajun and
Louisiana style. |
Corn Fritters Turned Out To Be Pretty Good |

The Crab, Whether Snow Or... |
King Was Sadly Not A Factor At All |
The crab legs were nice legs. The only problem was the mild sauce is
still pretty darned aggressive and I am the only one who likes the
spice. The thing is I don’t want it on crab legs. Sure the mudbugs
can stand up to kick but the delicately flavored crab is just
obliterated by the stuff. It would make more sense to have the legs
and a little butter to enjoy and follow it up with a shooter of the
flavoring some other time. You might as well boil play dough in the
bags with the flavoring…it wouldn’t make a difference. Give me spicy
wings. Give me spicy crawfish (without the full colon please). For
God’s sake I even like spicy ice cream. Leave the poor lightly but
beautifully flavored crabs alone. Flawed in conception. |
