Of course, no one can live by noodles alone. Luckily, there are other options to keep your tummy content. While Chang’s go-to dim sum place, Chang’s Hong Kong Cuisine where he feasted on barbecued pork pies and century eggs, is no longer open, there are plenty of delicious spots a Vegas visitor can find with similar items on the menu. One is Ping Pang Pong, off the beaten path and more of a local spot in the Gold Coast Casino and Orchids Garden. Or, if you are feeling like you want to go upscale, there’s Wing Lei in the Wynn hotel and casino, which is the first Chinese restaurant in the U.S. to earn a Michelin star.
However, not everyone feels the same way, and Chang’s proclamation has caused a bit of a food fight. The Fung Bros. took to their podcast to debate Chang’s opinion and Las Vegas’ spot in the rise of Chinese food. Unfortunately, they tend to disagree with the celebrity chef, feeling that the nod of “the best” should go to the San Gabriel Valley in California or Queens in New York. Who’s right? There’s really only one way to find out, so get out the map for a road trip and start eating.
