"The city’s vintage Carhartt-wearing, artist types hang out and swap gossip over glasses of wine at EDO, a tiny tapas spot in a busy Chinatown strip mall. If it’s your first time here, go with the $80 chef’s tasting menu for six courses that include dishes like jalapeño avocado gazpacho, peruvian scallops in leche de tigre, and miso black cod with aji salsa verde. Come here for a relaxed dinner off the Strip, where you can actually hear your friend’s latest dating saga, and order the sage-and-blackberry Monkey 47 cocktail from their stellar gin and tonic cart. Space is pretty limited, so reserve ahead of time." - emmy kasten, andrew ryce

"An acclaimed Chinatown tasting-menu restaurant known for playful, inventive plates — including bluefin tuna tarts, patatas bravas and caviar-filled eggshells — this intimate 35-seat spot built a devoted following with carefully curated prix-fixe menus. After seven years of service, it announced a September closure to make way for the team’s next project." - Janna Karel
"Opened in 2018 in a nondescript Chinatown strip mall on Spring Mountain Road, this intimate 35-seat restaurant earned a reputation as one of Las Vegas’s best for its playful, Strip-polished approach to tapas and prix-fixe tasting menus. Under chef Oscar Amador with Roberto Liendo and partner Joseph Mikulich, it became known for joyously inventive, tweezer-precise presentations and a loyal following willing to trek to the unassuming location. Signature dishes included bluefin tuna tarts in delicate shells with flower petals and passionfruit; cured jamón draped over icy kumquat leche de tigre; impossibly flaky, multi-layered patatas bravas; the pressed, paper-thin bikini panini; and a whimsical egg course of frothy salted-fish espuma with yolk, roe, and caviar served in a hollowed shell. After seven years the restaurant is closing in September and will run a farewell revival of fan favorites before the space is reimagined." - Janna Karel
"Tucked behind a nondescript storefront in a Chinatown strip mall, Edo Tapas & Wine serves savory dishes inside a moody, chandelier-illumined dining room. Chef Oscar Amador Edo grew up in Barcelona, Spain and brings his own approach to tapas with hot and cold dishes, charcuterie, and a rotating tasting menu. Order a bikini, a pressed sandwich with sobrasada and Mahon cheese, as well as a 30-day dry-aged striploin carpaccio with puri bread, and “textures of artichokes,” an exploration of the vegetable done three ways." - Janna Karel
