Pumi

While visiting Las Vegas, seven of us, six adults and one two year old, went out for Chinese at Pumi in Henderson, NV, about a 20 minute drive from the Strip.

When we walked in, the music was very loud. We could barely hear each other speak from one end of the long table to the other. We asked the waitress to turn the music down, and after the waitress asked the bartender twice and we asked again, the music was finally turned down to a level where guests could speak to each other without yelling.

Our waitress took our order quickly, a dynasty dinner for two, as well as four more entrees, soup for six, crispy noodles, white rice – the standard Chinese meal for a family of seven.

Soup was brought out in a timely manner, with the waitress letting us know the kitchen was making fresh wonton soup for those of us that had ordered it.

About 45 minutes after ordering our meals, the waitress brought out two buckets, one with white rice and one with brown rice. Ten minutes after that, we began to ask where our meals were.

The kitchen was handling the influx of take out orders over the meals for the in house diners. After sitting for over an hour at Pumi, our food was not cooked yet and we were told it would be “just a few more minutes.”

No manager was on staff at the restaurant for us to speak to about the issue.

We walked out. Six adults, one toddler, 2 dynasty dinners, 4 entrees – walked out.
