ANDREA’S

One of two elaborate Chinese restaurants at Wynn Palace, Andrea’s stands out with its opulent gold and ivory tones spun throughout the large dining space, embellished with intricate butterfly and cloud patterns. The restaurant offers a wide range of Chinese regional dishes, most of them classics with a contemporary twist. Adding to the modern characteristics are the stylish presentations and the abundance of globally-sourced ingredients, fittingly adapted into popular dishes. Notable selections include the establishment’s marinated pork rolls with spicy garlic sauce, a playful take on the Sichuan classic that is reinvented by adding fresh vegetables. The rolls are light and refreshing with sharp heat from the spicy dressing. Wok-fried sweetand-sour hapuka showcases the scored fish fillet that is deep-fried with just the right balance of sweet and tangy glaze. A dish of 36-hour slow-cooked grain-fed beef ribs is a stunner. The ribs are gelatinous and juicy, but never too heavy. Guests can make their own wraps with the scallion pancakes served on the side. The dessert selection at Andrea’s may be modest, but the artisanal tea menu is exceptional, with a resident tea master offering suggestions to pair according to guests’ preferences.
