"It is a privilege to welcome the great culinary minds of China
Tang to MGM Grand," said MGM Grand President & COO Scott Sibella. "We are excited and proud to
introduce guests to this renowned concept that's been exclusive to
the other side of the world – until now."
Vice President of Lai Sun Group, Mr. Lawrence Lau said, "I'm delighted China Tang is
open in such a beautiful building and location. Las Vegas is known as a hub of culinary
innovation and entertainment. We know guests are going to love the
authentic cuisine that China Tang presents."
用餐 – Dine
China Tang serves some of the finest cuisine from Canton, with a
touch of Sichuan, a dash of
Beijing and a unique repertoire of
dim sum. Striking displays of culinary showmanship paired with
ancient Chinese cooking methods result in a new-to-Las Vegas dining experience that radiates
originality and personality.
- 點心 – Dim Sum: Available for
lunch and dinner, guests can indulge in decadent dumplings like the
China Tang Steamed Pork "Xiao Long
Bao," a soup dumpling filled with broth and pork, and
served with a tangy black vinegar sauce. Another favorite is the
Steamed Crab Meat Dumplings, which are stuffed with
delectable crab meat and steamed until perfectly delicate and
beautiful. In addition to a traditional Chinese tea selection,
China Tang delivers a Las Vegas
touch to its dim sum service with an option of sommelier-selected
wine pairings for every dumpling delicacy.
- 家禽 – Poultry: The Traditional
Beijing Roasted Duck is a labor of love, taking more than 24
hours to prepare before being roasted in an imported duck oven that
crisps and browns the skin (available for pre-order only). The
Hammer Chicken is as delicious as it is visually
spectacular. This China Tang signature is stuffed with mushrooms,
pork belly, ginger, shallot and garlic before being wrapped in a
dried lotus leaf and clay, and baked for more than five hours.
Finally, the dish is doused in rosé wine and lit ablaze tableside
as the table host uses a hammer to crack the clay open, revealing
the succulent chicken within.
- 肉 – Meat: Premium beef is no longer
reserved for fine-dining steakhouses as China Tang offers guests a
Stewed Angus Beef Short Rib braised with onion, carrot,
leeks, garlic and celery. China Tang's Signature Barbecue
Pork is a sweet-and-smoky treat of pork collar marinated with
ginger, garlic, coriander and homemade barbecue seasoning.
- 米飯和麵條 – Rice
& Noodles: Noodle lovers will rejoice in
China Tang's bevy of freshly-made
noodle dishes. The Wok-Fried Rice Noodles with Sliced Beef and
X.O. Chili Sauce packs a spicy punch and a delectable
mix of flavors. Additionally, China Tang elevates rice dishes to
another realm with creations such as Fried Rice with Braised
Wagyu that prepares opulent beef with black truffle and wild
mushrooms into a masterful melding of flavors served in a clay
pot.
- 海鮮 – Seafood: China
Tang's seafood has the unique flexibility to range from
approachable favorites like the Kung Pao Shrimp, to exotic
masterpieces originals such as the Live Lobster that allows
guests to customize the succulent dish with seven types of
Cantonese preparations. The Braised Chilean Sea Bass and Roasted
Pork Belly are stir-fried together and stew in double-boiled
meat broth with Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce,
ginger, scallions and fried garlic.
飲料 – Drinks
China Tang features a cocktail menu inspired by Pre-Opium War
Era China and Colonial Era China, along with drawing inspiration
from popular destinations and iconic characters in Chinese culture.
Cocktails are created with a mix of American and Asian flavors,
like hoisin and yuzu, and served in extraordinarily distinctive
fashion – such as the Yu Gardens, a cold cocktail that is presented
in a seemingly steaming Chinese tea pot that simulates the heat
through dry ice piping out of the spout.
- 鴉片戰爭前 – Pre-Opium War Era:
At a time when outside cultural influence in China was minimal, this section of China
Tang's cocktail menu honors this period with high-end spirits and
traditional presentations that were popular in the
mid-19th century. The China Tang signature is the Mr.
Tang served atop a steaming jewel box, and mixes Remy Martin X.O. with Cointreau Noi, Luxardo
Maraschino and Frey Absinthe. Madam Shin's flavors evolve
while the drink is enjoyed due to a dollop of house-made Asian pear
sorbet that floats atop and gradually mixes with the cocktail built
from Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, Kai Lychee Vodka, Domaine De
Canton Ginger Liqueur, and Italicus Rosolio Di Bergamotto
Liqueur.
- 殖民 – Colonial Era: Colonial Era
China had significant outside influences. The drinks on this
section of China Tang's menu mirror this idea with non-conventional
Western techniques and presentations to uniquely meld modern-day
spirits with Chinese flavors and culture. The Yu Gardens is
an eastern spin on the Moscow Mule featuring a delightfully sweet
and smooth mixture of Redemption Rye Whiskey, Crown Royal Regal
Apple Whiskey, Ginger Ale, and
Chrysanthemum Tea. The Kowloon achieves the flavors of an Old
Fashioned with ingredients you wouldn't typically find in the
classic cocktail, by using Applewood chips to smoke a concoction of
Roca Patron Resposado Tequila, OM Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt
Liqueur, chocolate bitters, hoisen, and rhubarb absinthe.
氛圍 – Atmosphere
China Tang celebrates all elements of the Tang Dynasty's
cosmopolitan culture with nightly entertainment and a globally
curated art collection. Evoking 1930s Shanghai glamour, China Tang draws inspiration
from Art Deco nostalgia with artwork from around the world. Each
evening, the dining room comes alive with Chinese musical
entertainment and noodle pulling performance.
China Tang is open for lunch and dinner 11:30 a.m. – midnight Friday and Saturday, as
well as on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. –
10:30 p.m. On weekdays, China Tang is
open for dinner from 5 p.m. –
10:30 p.m. The restaurant is located
in The District at MGM Grand.
