Kings Garden is located in the shopping plaza on the corner of Mountain Vista and Tropicana on the eastside of Las Vegas (4570 E. Tropicana Ave). This stand alone restaurant has a worn exterior and a odd diner style interior. When we entered the restaurant, we immediately face a counter , manned by a waitress who asks us to seat ourselves. She brought over menus and took our drink orders. She came back with our drinks and took our food order. We decided to try the dinner specials which include for $7.95: Egg drop soup, Fried Wontons, Crispy eggrolls and an entree with either white or Pork Fried Rice.
Our waitress brought the Egg Drop Soup to us first. It was very plain with just broth and egg. The lack of vegetables or seasoning was noticable. Next came the Fried Wontons and Egg Rolls hot out of the fryer and crunchy. We ate the Egg Rolls which were cleverly cut in half to make it easy to see the vegetable filling. We tasted the wonton but it was very bland and simply unseasoned, fried strips of wonton.
For the entree, I ordered the Shrimp Curry which was a creamy curry sauce with plenty of perfectly cooked full sized shrimp, crunchy green bell peppers, carrots and large pieces of onion. My co-blogger ordered shrimp with broccoli that also included mushrooms and carrots.The side of pork fried rice was a good sized portion and had a lot of flavor.
All of the food was brought to our table hot and right off the stove. There was very little wait time for the food because it was being cooked fresh immediately after we placed our order. Our waitress was the only server working in the small restaurant but she did a great job at providing us with enough attention, refilling our drinks as needed and bringing our food in great time.
The dinner specials are a great deal if you are on a budget. The entree's that we ordered were delicious. The Egg Rolls were great and the Egg Drop soup was pretty good after I doctored it up with some of the table seasonings.
Overall, I would recommend giving this little restaurant a try if you are in the area.
