Dim sum fans can find a lot to like at KJ’s Kitchen
KJ's Kitchen at the Rio provides dim sum lovers with another dining option.
The restaurant, which opened in January, is the second location for KJ's (the original is on Spring Mountain Road), says co-owner David So. They decided to open at the Rio, 3700 W. Flamingo Road, because they saw a need for another dim sum restaurant in Las Vegas, he says.
"Dim sum is a really very popular lunch because people like to gather together to have a cup of tea and eat like a family-style meal," So says.
KJ's Kitchen offers more than 55 dim sum items ranging in price from $2.28 to $3.98. All the traditional favorites are there including shu mai, har gow and barbecue pork buns.
A traditional menu also is available for lunch. Dim sum service ends at 3 p.m. but some items are available for dinner, So says.
The dining room seats 400; reservations are suggested for large parties. The restaurant is open daily, 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.
