R&G Lounge, the San Francisco institution that has been sending out Cantonese standards for more than 40 years, is bringing the wok hei — the savory, roasty “breath of the wok” — to the Las Vegas Strip.
R&G is set to open this year in the Forum Shops at Caesars, in a space adjacent to Zaytinya by José Andrés, according to a Monday announcement that did not include a menu.
In San Francisco, the restaurant is known for its salt and pepper crab made from animals pulled live from the tank, chopped and fried in the shell; its steamed live clams with beaten egg; a snarl of garlicky egg noodles tossed with prawns, clams and scallops; and the banquet menu.
“Opening at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace marks an exciting new chapter for our family and our restaurant,” Christopher Hung, culinary director of R&G, said in the announcement. “We look forward to sharing the traditions and flavors that have defined our family’s legacy with the Las Vegas community and visitors from around the world.”
