Blossom at ARIA Resort & Casino
Chinese fine dining on the Strip
Blossom, the fine-dining Chinese restaurant at ARIA Resort & Casino, prominently features a birdcage motif that gives it an air of authenticity — in Chinese culture, the birdcage is a symbol of style and sophistication.
Encased within an intricate wooden lattice, its central sunken-in dining area is refined and elegant without being over the top, thanks to a soothing color palette of rose, metallic sea foam and gray.
This poised vibe extends to the food. The 100-plus-item menu is predominantly Cantonese with Sichuan thrown in for flair, but also boasts a large selection of the favorites that are popular in America, such as eggrolls, kung pao chicken and chow mein.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The sheer variety of Chinese fare is impressive — there are 100 dishes from which to choose.
- For a showstopper, order the Peking duck. The chef brings the duck tableside to carve and present it.
- To get a good taste of one of Las Vegas’ top Chinese restaurants, order the Signature Tasting Menu, which is a steal at $79. The four-course dinner includes an appetizer (like pork and vegetable pot stickers), soup (shrimp and scallop wontons), an entrée (fried Chilean sea bass) and dessert (mochi ice cream).
- This is a place for hot pot. Among the several varieties, try the medium-spicy oxtail.
- Savor your barbecue duck amid elegant, modern surroundings, including see-through screen walls and stunning cherry-blossom-patterned wallpaper.
Things to Know
- Don’t visit this Vegas restaurant expecting dim sum. Lunch is only offered two weeks during the year: between Christmas and New Year’s and during the Chinese New Year celebration.
- Blossom only serves dinner, but it’s open seven days a week.
- You won’t want to miss out on dinner at Blossom. Call 877-230-2742 to book your table.
- The Las Vegas restaurant has a business casual dress code. Ladies will want to don a cocktail dress and gents will feel comfortable in slacks and a button down.
The Food
- Expect to hear “get the shrimp toast” if you happen to encounter a Blossom regular prior to your reservation—heed this advice. Butterflied shrimp is flash-fried on white toast sliced at just the right thickness to balance the oil and bread.
- The Australian lobster tail in spicy XO sauce generously comes with two six-ounce pieces of buttery white meat.
- And the shrimp paste romaine lettuce hot pot is unlike any other “salad” you have ever tried before — sizzling, yet still crisp.
- You won’t want to leave without trying the Instagram-worthy Peking duck. The meat, crowned with a sliver of crispy skin, rests delicately on either a puffy bao (stuffed bun) or a paper-thin pancake, topped with hoisin, scallion and cucumber.
The Design
- Concrete pillars dot the space — like trees in the forest — adorned with a glass mosaic that forms leaves and branches.
- The chandeliers, however, have the most profound impact on the room, ranging from birdcages to ornate clusters of dewdrop-inspired crystal and metal lighting fixtures.
- Along the perimeter, find banquette seating separated by rose-colored partitions. Two private dining rooms and two semiprivate dining nooks create a cocoon for those who like to feast under the radar.
- Don’t miss the three-dimensional stamped concrete dragon-motif wall roaring through the corridor that leads to the restrooms.
