Amlee
Gourmet, a popular Chinese restaurant in Henderson, Nev., is an eatery ideal for
family outings, banquets, business meetings, and it is a favorite spot for
dignitaries and celebrities, such as Jackie Chan.
Owner and
Executive Chef Steven Lee operates the restaurant as a family tradition. He has
been preparing Chinese dishes in the Las Vegas area for more than 30 years. His
cuisine is definitely gourmet. And it’s all made to order and attractively
served from a tableside cart, something you don’t see often.
Chef Lee
selects the freshest food and uses the finest ingredients of the highest
quality, which is why he keeps patrons coming back to Amlee’s — especially for
the lunch specials, which start at only $6.95. Even for a full dinner with
beverages and desserts, a family of four can enjoy a culinary journey for about
$80.
For those
who like traditional American dishes, Amlee serves Filet Mignon. Other popular
American dishes, include Orange Peeled Shrimp, Asparagus Shrimp, White Creamed
Shrimp, Spicy Scallops and Scallops with Broccoli, to name a few.
My guest
and I choose the Steamed Orange Roughy with Spicy Eggplant. I had to wonder
about the spices because it was so interestingly flavored. I tasted ginger in
the delicious fish dish, and the eggplant was seasoned extremely well. Wow what
a delectable entree!
We also
ordered an array of vegetables: broccoli with fresh mushrooms, cauliflower, snow
peas and water chestnuts. The portions are large and many diners take home the
extra. In these rocky economic times, it’s good to get great food in generous
portions at reasonable prices. But when it comes to a modest price, I must say
that our meal (for three people) was only $75 with desserts and beverages
included.
The
service at Amlee is far superior to other eateries that charge higher prices.
