Ru Yi Pan-Asian Experience Potawatomi’s newest
The continuing expansion of the Potawatomi Bingo Casino
includes more than just slot machines and gaming tables: The
restaurants are also undergoing major changes. In addition to
the relocated buffet and Dream Dance, there will be a food
court and two new restaurants. One of the restaurants, RuYi,
has already opened. RuYi offers a Pan-Asian menu, with
everything from Hmong to Vietnamese, from Japanese to
Chinese, and even an item or two from Singapore .
The restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of the casino
complex. The dining space, while casual, is richly detailed.
Curved walls and tables surfaced in gold and red-orange hues
add to the experience. Of the two counters, both of which are
topped with stone, one has kitchen views where the busy chefs
can be glimpsed at work. Try to get a table as far from the
entrance as possible, as even the noise of woks and cleavers is
drowned out by the incessant music of slot machines.
It’s possible to sample the foods of several nations in one
visit. The multi paged menu is grouped by starter courses,
soup noodles, wok noodles and entrees. The Chinese options
will be most familiar to diners, and include chicken lettuce
wraps, kung pao chicken and the house specialty, roasted
Peking duck. Another specialty is the homemade pot stickers
($8), which is a serving of six pork-filled dumplings that are
steamed or fried. (Fried is the way to go.) Be sure to dip them
in the vinegar soy sauce. The price may seem high, but the
dumplings are larger than normal and the serving is as large as
some of the entrees.
Take a visit to Southeast Asia with the green papaya salad
with shrimp ($9). This is described as a Thai dish, although itâ
€™s a dead ringer for a similar salad I had in Vietnam last year.
Green papaya brings a refreshing tartness. The sauce is labeled
as Thai garlic, but the taste of garlic barely registers; instead,
the subtle flavor of fish sauce comes through. Though this salad
is usually served with hot peppers, their absence here is not
missed. Once you remove the slices of red onion, all of the
competing flavors will be in balance.
Korea is represented by bulgogi ($12), sliced barbecue beef.
Korean restaurants (none in Milwaukee ) often have tabletop
grills so that you can cook the beef yourself, but the cut here is
different. The restaurant serves boneless slices of short ribs
whose proper term is kalbi. All pettiness aside, however, this
is a fine tribute to Korea . The dark, slightly sweet sauce
complements the beef, which comes with a few chopped green
scallions and a sprinkling of sesame seeds and is served over
white rice.
Ultimately, although the Thai and Korean efforts have merit,
the best items tend to be Chinese. Shrimp with spicy salt and
pepper ($15) is a prime example. This usually consists of
sliced fresh hot peppers and shrimp in the shell covered with a
salty coating before being fried, but this version varies a bit.
The shrimp are shelled and there are a few dried hot chiles
comple mented by bits of chopped sweet red pepper. This
method is just fine, with the flavor of the shrimp rising from
the sea of salt and the dried pepper infusing the remnants of
cooking oil. The serving is generous, with more than a dozen
shrimp.
RuYi is a fine effort and offers high hopes for the next
restaurant due to open here (a casual version of Dream Dance
named Wild Earth). Service is efficient, but customers will not
feel hurried. The noise level is the sole drawback, and serves as
a reminder that the slot machines await you.
