If you’ve visited Chef Kenny’s Asian Vegan Restaurant in Las Vegas, you’ve likely met Chef Kenny Chye. And, if you’ve ever talked to Chye, you know his plans to open a vegan dim sum spot.
After years of talking about it, Chye is making good on his plan. On July 4, the newly opened Chef Kenny’s Vegan Dim Sum launches its much-awaited dim sum menu.
Located at 5570 W. Flamingo Rd., Chef Kenny’s Vegan Dim Sum features the same menu as Chef Kenny’s Asian Vegan Restaurant. It also offers vegan dim sum.
Dim sum are small steamed or fried savory dumplings filled with various ingredients. Stay tuned for what dim sum to try at the vegan dim sum restaurant in Las Vegas.
The vegan dim dum is served daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Popular dishes at Chef Kenny’s include Chinese staples like orange chicken and spicy Mongolian beef and shakes. But, then there are other eats like his steak sushi roll that people love.
Over the years, Chye’s offerings have become known across the country. His restaurant is always on lists of must-eats for visitors to Las Vegas looking for vegan food.
Chef Kenny’s Asian Vegan Dim Sum is one vegan restaurant in a string of vegan restaurants like Chikyū Vegan Sushi and Daikon Vegan Sushi that have opened during the pandemic.
It also marks the sixth all-vegan Asian restaurant in Las Vegas. Others include VeggiEat Xpress (two locations) and Veggie House.
“It was the right timing and right location,” explains Chye regarding his opening.
In addition, the vegan sushi scene continues to grow with the opening of Chye’s new restaurant.
Every vegan Asian restaurant in Las Vegas offers sushi.
From creative options like Chikyu, to all-you-can-eat at VeggiEat Xpress to Chye’s veganizing of popular rolls like eel, there’s never been more vegan options for sushi in Las Vegas.
Chye also has an outpost of his flagship restaurant in Houston, Tex. It recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. He’s also posted about opening a new restaurant in Park City, Utah.
