- I ate at the most expensive Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas. Mott 32 at the Venetian Palazzo is Chinese cuisine with regional Cantonese, Szechuan, and Beijing flavors in a modern Hong Kong ambience. And it's expensive. We ordered the hot and sour soup dumplings, BBQ Iberico pork buns, smoked black cod, crispy egg noodles with bamboo pith and mushrooms, mango coconut rice roll, and double boiled egg white with black sesame. These items on the Mott 32 menu were unlike any other food we've ever had at Asian restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip, even at the Bellagio.

Wow guys wow,PHENOMENAL looking dishes the cod looks just INCREDIBLE!!!!!I'd love to try it out and I think I just may make plans to travel there and just do that lol maybe do a Thursday threw Sunday trip,I'm really impressed and thank you for this review it was just great!!!When I try to out I'll be sure to let you guys know bc I'm DEFINITELY GOING
Ate there a few months ago with in-laws. I couldn’t afford it, but they won $3000 in the slot machines. The bill was $700. You didn’t order the Peking roasted duck. Best thing I ate. Completely served the traditional chinese way with bones made into soup. Impeccable service. Kids constantly drop their chopsticks. I didn’t have to ask for a replacement.
There should not be loud music in a fine dining restaurant.
I don’t know when that all started but I don’t like it either.
It is rather annoying.
Loud music makes conversation & relaxing difficult = no conversation nor relaxing = eat fast, pay then leave = table turnover =$$$
Thats part of Vegas
@@azurain1 The corporate swine really know how to ruin everything.
That music is horrible to experience while dining
Disco Duck???
I ate at Mott32 for restaurant week. It was a 3-course meal for $40 which was a bargain compared to their normal prices
.
@@electrictroy2010 So they keep the prices down to entice people to beta test their musical torture?
GOTO Hakkasan to get same quality food (and Michelin starred chef) but with calm music playing
.
It helps keep the prices lower
Derek, I have to thank you for another great episode. Its fun when You take your fiancé out. She adds another dimension, and eats things that you won’t eat.
And I must give you a special thanks for what you did for me over the past three weeks. I had major surgery and it was bed ridden the entire time. I was able to watch everyone of your episodes, usually more than once, and it kept my mind off of the pain. I’m now better and looking forward to getting to Vegas and try some of the restaurants you recommended.
Thom
Thank you so much! I’m glad to hear you’re doing well!
The noise in that place would give me a migraine! Very difficult just to watch the video. Never would I pay those prices for that dining experience. The food may be elevated but that crap noise is elevated as well. Glad you enjoyed the experience.
Food looks delicious! Why would they have the music so loud in such a nice place?!
Because it's in a casino
Welcome to Vegas
You'll get used to it. *This is coming from someone who was born and still lives in las vegas*
Food looked great but that noise was annoying

Tremella frondosa is an edible jelly fungus. In China, it is called huáng ěr (黄耳; literally "yellow ear"), and sometimes features in the vegetarian dish called Buddha's delight.
Love experiencing these places vicariously through your videos. Keep them coming!
The loud music would really put me off nevermind the extortionate pricing.
Loud music is playing everywhere in Vegas. It's hard to escape it.

Glad you are showing us a variety of experiences since some can't travel. Stay safe and enjoy.
Derek, being Asian we gave Mott 32 a try one of the last times that we were in Las Vegas. Since we were a fairly large party, we were seated at a private dining room at the rear of the restaurant. We have had Chinese food in many different cities both in the U.S. and Canada. Honestly, I had a difficult time justifying those high prices since the food wasn't that much better than many of the better Chinese restaurants that I've been to.
Try Ping Pang Pong at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino. It's usually filled with many Chinese people dining. Once you have eaten there, you'll understand why.
Looked at PPP menu, prices also killed me🤣☠️ I don't believe in charging that much when it's basic ingredients nothing like caviar or truffles etc. but I'm guessing rent is high & paying business costs so they gotta, passssssss😬
I have eaten there! Good food at a reasonable price. I figured the cost of the meal on the strip restaurant was the equivalent of three nights of resort fees.
My wife is Asian and she love this place. She’s eating that many Chinese restaurants traditional etc.. The problem is a lot of a few people go here expecting traditional flavors and dishes and when they don’t get them they say it’s not as good. Truth be told if somebody went and tried both traditional and 32 never having tasted Asian food. I’m sure the it would be mixed results.
I’ve eaten at genuine Chinese or Japanese restaurants that were 99.9% asian customers. It’s good but not the same as “elevated” food from a top Chinese chef (like Nobu or Hakkasan). Better ingredients, better preparation, moist & juicy instead of dry & overcooked
.
ALL YOU CAN Vegas reviewed Ping Pang Pong twice, and liked it both times. Prices appear to be half Mott32’s prices
.
The music is way too loud!
I know, it not a night club It a family dining.

I agree that could totally ruin your experience why do people think that’s a good thing
Another classic video Derrick. Good work as always brother.
Thanks again 😊 another great one
Why is their overly loud pop music playing in the most expensive Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas! If I was paying those prices I would request some noise canceling headphones
To force you to eat quickly, pay, then leave....making way for the next diners. Rinse and repeat.
They want to turn tables. Busy music does the trick! Restaurant Trick 101!
It's right off the casino floor. Think slot machines and people playing as soon as you step out the door so the location has something to do with vibe and pumping you up to gamble. It is also not the highest price Chinese in Vegas. That is Wing Le @ Wynn and they have the opposite atmosphere. Great video IMO.
Does Wing Le charge $80 for dessert?
:-o
@@electrictroy2010 Don't see that high on dessert but they have $13 serving of ice cream. Lol.
One of the best TH-cam Channels
I about cracked up when you nearly gagged yourself with chopsticks 🤣. Love your videos and your fiancé is a great addition. She seems very nice and knowledgeable about food.
This is a great review!! Thanks for letting me know my local Chinese restaurant is perfect- and that I can smoke cod at home for less than $20 on a Sunday right here in Las Vegas.
I love the presentation of the food... smoking ironically at 4:20 & Black Sesame EYE at 11:18! I'll have to try this place now that EDC week is cancelled. I want to try some of those expensive fancy dishes! Another great video Derek!
@10:07: "Hi. I'm sorry I cannot identify what we just served you, let me go ask what it is". LOL!
@@B-ch6uk : What, you don't think athlete's foot is tasty?? ;-D
Derek I’ve eaten at many Chinese restaurants. They have the best fish meals I’ve ever eaten. Phenomenal
I watched this husband and wife show about Vegas buffet and restaurant man your top shelf my wife been watching you forever she showed me the difference...wow well done sir
I love the way you and your fiance review the food keep making videos Derick God bless you and your fiance
Wow! Keep it coming! You almost at 100k
Also....when you dine, the music is great! The audio doesn't translate...but when you're there, it fits perfect.
Your dinner looked delicious. I think I will have to start rating your videos by the number of times I had to replay specific parts, which is a good thing. The charming future Mrs Thomas is the Yin to your Yang. A great team and a lot of fun to watch! Thank you for another enjoyable video 👍
All these advert breaks are killing me Derek.
Derek, you are so darn funny 😄 You crack me up ! Your descriptions on this food is spot on great 👍 Love it 👍
We ate at Mott 32 a month ago and it was delicious! You forgot to mention the wine list with the $32,000 bottle of wine and many more in the four and five digit range. We ordered a $75 bottle of wine that was fantastic.
Some of these restaurants Derek has been reviewing recently are distracting with the loud background music.I find that to be a turn off to the dining experience. Is this a Las Vegas thing? Anybody else pick up on that?
I have stopped watching mid way because of the loud music.. sorry Derek.....
It’s a way to turn out tables so people don’t spend a lot of time at the table to eat fast and get out! That’s my Theory !
The more tables they turn over the more money Resturant makes. I live in the US VI and a lot of the trendy restaurants are doing that, get in get out is their motto. LOL
Nikki Cicero it’s also a way to lose customers
@@nikkicicero7730 wow that's kinda weird but true. Loud music, what a scam!
D Motta I can tell you have never been to Las Vegas. I’ve lived here for 15 years. Loud music everywhere is the norm.
excited about this video! thanks for sharing
You didn’t show us the stonecutters. Thanks for this video! Glad to see a variety of restaurants including fine dining!
2:15 soup dumpling, maybe bite a small hole in it and drain the soup out and eat/drink separately?
Overpriced for what you get. Rule of thumb growing up Asian, if an Asian restaurant has more non-Asians than Asians, it’s not that good.
Derek: I guess that now, since you’re engaged, we’ve seen the end of affordable, bargain eating. Good bye Circus Circus, late night specials etc.
@Derek dont do it!
He's just branching out. He'll be back to his budget friendly grub soon enough. Buffets aren't really that fun in Vegas right now.
@@joejeans7913 Don't do what?
The music is so loud😳
I really appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work!
So glad u went there! I’m looking forward to their brunch
I’ve been here so good....iberico pork bun crazy good. Great cocktails too
Mott 32, hands down, the BEST! I drooled through this video...missing it SO much. I hope the one in Vancouver opens again soon!
Love your food vlogs! Thanks for posting. Next time you're in Vegas try the DanDan Noodles and Chili Oil Wonton at Magic Noodle (it's on Ft Apache Road)
Hi Derek, I hope All's well...Another great vid, BTW, I really like your friend accompanying you on your vids.....Give my best to her.....:)
Thank you for the review Derek. The food looks fantastic with the usual authentic specialties like Peking Duck and the pan fried noodles. Drooling now at midnight lol.
Nicely done again Derrick. Fantastic review today.. who doesnt like Chinese food
Just too damn expensive !!!!
Enjoyed seeing that smokey cod and endeavors in eating it.
Fun vid with lots of flavor
Yum! I love your fiance in your videos. She seems like a wonderful person!
Thanks for sharing. Pricey, but, yummy!
Great job Derek!!
The food looks both delicious and inventive. It's great that Americans have a chance to try high-end Chinese food.
That was quite interesting! Especially that sesame dessert! Another great video, thank you for sharing! Good vibes to you both.. stay safe from your fans in Montreal Canada!
You should go to Spring Mountain and eat at those restaurants...
There are no Michelin starred & award winning chefs in Spring Mountain..... they are all located on the strip.
I miss the Asian restaurants and grocery stores on Spring Mountain; lived in LV for three years and loved it
Fried crispy noodles looks scrumptious!
Derek goes to a fancy fine dining restaurant and still wears his signature black t-shirt. This is why we like you man.
You fricken make me laugh. My husband comes to the bedroom where I am on the computer wondering what the heck I am laughing at. I thought for sure you were going to choke on those chopsticks and your eyes go big. who in the hell wouldn't laugh. I find all these videos because of this studip pandemic...lol! You keep the smile on my face when I am tired of not going out. I always give you a thumbs up. Your videos are never boring...lol!
Thanks, Alma!
Keep me smiling, I love your sense of humor.
Sometimes Derek reminds me of Homer Simpson & his enjoyment of food.
He is hilarious. He makes me laugh, he is so funny and one knows he wants his viewers to have fun with him.
Food looks awesome but the prices are eye watering. This is definitely a special occasion only restaurant, for me anyway. Great review Derek👍🏻
I agree and Peking Duck, one of their specialty dishes, is a banquet dish.
For a special occasion I might pop for the food, but that stripper music would keep me away.
You’re supposed to bite or cut the top of the soup dumpling before you eat the whole think. You’ll avoid burning yourself and explosions.
I learned that the hard way 😂
Keely on point!
While you can pop the whole thing, assuming it's not too hot (or you will burn your mouth), some people will use chopsticks to pierce the dumpling while it's in the spoon so the soup is contained. Then, they'd sip the soup from the spoon, and then pop the rest of the dumpling into your mouth.
For standard soup dumplings, you can add ginger and black vinegar into the dumpling skin and eat it that way.
Stay awesome Keely!
Yeah, most dumpling like that explode, so you have to figure out how you approach eating them.
actrully not the top of the dumpling but side the dumpling
I can't thank you enough for this beautiful experience! Yellow fungus with the healthy greens and dessert to complete. You guys make fine dining fun!
Always a delightful experience watching your video 🙏❤️! Wish you prosperity & success so we can continue watching your videos in the future 🙏❤️.
It all looks fabulous, but the music sounds a little loud. I like background music but not loud.
Your channel must be doing well. You’ve been eating at more expensive restaurants. I remember when you use to do reviews for Shake Shack.
And 'Hello Kitty' type places.
Lol...love the faces you make and the way you taste the food and say "mmmmmmm" Prices a little high for my budget though, but you enjoy!!!
Thanks Derrick! I am going go eat there tomorrow!
The loud music is hurting my ears. I can only imagine how bad it was in the actual restaurant

Omg thank you for ur videos
Fine dining in a t-shirt!😂
Richard Alderman great commentary. Teenagers dressed up like they just came from the 🏊
@@MAGAmaniac1000 What teenagers, where?
Well you dont want to mess up a good one with soy sauce!
I doubt a single casino dining establishment doesn’t have at least one person in a t-shirt and another in flip flops and another in swim trunks.
All the high-end restaurants in Vegas casinos care about only one thing, can a customer pay $$. Been to pretty much all the Venetian restaurants, in shorts, nobody cared and have always been served very well.
There are rich Chinese tourists in these casinos, who order a ton and rack up bills of $2000+ sometimes, all in casual wear.
I would put Mott 32 on my list to try at least once. And I say this while eating my yummy leftover takeout $18.00 Chinese food from last night. I wouldn't choose that crispy noodle dish, as I am not into fungi. I would go all out an try that duck!!! I am enjoying all the different dining venues you are trying now.
I agree. Buffet food can get a little boring....especially the El Cheapo ones. I like that Derek is branching out to places I'll probably never visit. I don't mind dining vicariously.
nice but a chinese friend once told me: Chinese food not made to be expensive. Usually if you are eating expensive chinese food, it's more for social status reasons
I think that's pretty much the same with cuisines from all cultures. The lower classes make delicious food, and the upper classes take those dishes and add "premium" ingredients or techniques and sell it as gourmet. In reality, the basic dish is good enough.
@@idiot675 There sometimes is a 'superiority' associated with eating at higher end establishments, similar to shopping at Whole Foods here in the US opposed to shopping at a budgeted grocery store. Some ppl feel they belong to the 'millionaires club' when doing so IMHO!
Check out Chinese Imperial cuisine
Had a great meal there my last visit. Loved the dumplings.
Idk , I think I’ll stick to my neighborhood Chinese restaurant. That’s a bit above my means. 👍💕
I hear local ones sometimes use cat meat
Love this definitely checking this spot out when I go
Derrick I love your facial expressions when you taste something really good.
I wish restaurants would stop playing night club dance music vs good dinner music. Makes you feel like you have to rush through dinner. They do that everywhere anymore. But looks yummy!
Where's the RICE? You need it to stop up the cod "gravy." Enjoyed the video but living here in San Francisco, I couldn't justify those kind of prices for Chinese food even for a special occasion.
Crime city there
@Vincent Vermeer I am not saying the cost is not justified, my wallet is.
If you have the money, then might as well get above average food instead of Frisco’s ordinary (and sometimes subpar) food. Although I prefer Nobu or Hakkasan over this mott joint (better chefs & food)
Always enjoy your food adventures Derrick. Just glad im not paying the bill.
Those plates were beautiful. Your facial expressions tell how everything tastes.
His facial expressions are much like the prices.. cringy.
I am so glad he is marrying her!! She completes him!!!😃👍🏽🙏🏽
that looked fantastic!
For the price though I'd rather not hear that music blasting. Sometime more sophisticated played at a much softer level.
Sounds like a regular casino dine and dash.
The Chinese have been making tradition amazing dishes forever not surprised they can create a dishes that explode your mind through your taste buds, I must go there one day.
Great video Derek..👍👍
I have read of a Chinese restaurant (and there may be more than one) in Hong Kong I believe, where the lines are out the door & down the street for the dumplings. This restaurant specialized in the dumplings with the soup in them.
I been there 3 times. Never had the cod. I have to try it. Keep videos coming. Love this channel...
She reminds me of home improvement show when neighbor dont show face at all
😂
HaHa that's right! Good call!
She Showed her Face a Few Episodes ago on his other channel!
@@General_Klytus Link please?
@@annscott4432 I was thinking the same thing. Asked for a link, never received it!
Yellow fungus-coated fried chicken! Ask for it by name next time LOL!👍🏼🤣
I’m glad you had dessert finally but too bad it was diet dessert! LOL it did look good but it didn’t look indulgent! Love all the adventures you go on through Vegas, it’s a great way to travel with your eyes .
I believe they also did an all you can eat brunch with dim sum which would be a bit more value! The music is SO loud, not appropriate for the restaurant. Thanks for showing us!
This video definitely made me hungry because of all the interesting different types of food and that dessert.
That loud jazzy soundtrack seems like it would be a distraction in a fine dining place like that
Wow! That is crazy ! My background is Chinese and my family owned a restaurant growing up. So it's so insane seeing those prices ! Not sure if you tried the Peking duck.. it's amazing. Funny when I was a kid I wouldn't ask what I was eating but I'd just eat it and it was good. Then when something came up in discussion, I would say "I'd never eat that, it sounds gross". But my dad would just smile.... I probably already ate it. Thanks for the videos and I hope you and your fiance stay safe !
Your fiancé seems delightful. I wish she would go on camera. Thx for the content Derek.
I hope Derek gets a Prenup!
Nice decor and like others have commented, the music level is too high... Especially for a pricey joint like that.

There better be a happy ending after that most expensive Chinese food. Lol

Lol. You’re right Sarah ! Pretty place and food but not sure if it’s worth the $$$.
Glad you go to expensive places, there are enough cheap food vlogers on TH-cam.

Yea, 2:20 he squirted all over her lol
This place looks AWESOME
Terrible expensive! No way I would pay so much for this. Thanks for sharing! This was fun to see
Looked tasty to me. I understand you're doing restaurant reviews, not "cheapest eats in Vegas" so I'm glad you went there and showed us what it's like. Thanks for the vid, take care.
Derek u and your friend God bless ya'll always. And be safe and careful out there the food looks good. Baltimore md.
Really glad to see more places open! It looks very good and busy, but they are pricy! 😳. Is Caesar's opening up anytime soon?
Not the buffet yet!
there is nothing more offputting than v.loud unsavoury music pumping in them background while trying 2 eat well !!!!!!
