"Soul food gets an Asian twist at Bleu Kitchen Garlic Noodle Bar. Chef Grubby (Calvin Johnson) of Compton, California got his start with the Bleu Truck food truck in Los Angeles. His Las Vegas restaurant merges his version of Southern food with Asian street food flavors. Here, oxtails are fall-apart tender — cooked down and scooped over a bowl of garlic butter noodles. Jumbo stuffed shrimp with lump crab are deep-fried and served with jalapeño dill aioli. And the sleeper hit might be the deep-fried short rib gyoza, which are brightened by a sweet garlic sauce." - Janna Karel
