Nom Wah Brings Dim Sum Legacy to Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS – June 20, 2025 – New York City’s first and oldest dim sum restaurant, which recently celebrated its 105th anniversary, is making its west coast debut with the opening of Nom Wah at JW Marriott Las Vegas The Resort At Summerlin and Rampart Casino at The Resort At Summerlin. Revered worldwide for its authentic, Cantonese-style dim sum, big flavors, and signature dumplings, the century-old Nom Wah will open its doors in Summerlin this September, as part of the property-wide revamp of the culinary offerings at JW Marriott Las Vegas The Resort At Summerlin and Rampart Casino At The Resort At Summerlin.
Nom Wah Celebrated for Century-Long Culinary Impact
“As we continue to elevate and diversify the dining experiences across our resort, we are proud to welcome restaurants that not only embody the sophistication our guests expect, but bring distinctive flavors and unique stories to the Las Vegas community,” said Michelle McHugh, Vice President & General Manager. “With more than a century of culinary innovation, cherished family recipes, and renowned hospitality, Nom Wah brings a legacy that is truly unparalleled in Las Vegas. We are honored to become the new home of such an iconic and storied restaurant.”
Nom Wah’s Evolution Under Wilson Tang
Over the past century, Nom Wah has evolved alongside the ever-changing landscape of New York City. What began as a humble Chinatown bakery grew into a beloved tea parlor, a dumpling manufacturer, and eventually a full-service restaurant — each transformation driven by the growing demand for Nom Wah’s flavors and its commitment to staying relevant. Under the leadership of CEO Wilson Tang, the brand has embraced innovation while honoring its roots, expanding with locations in Lower Manhattan and Philadelphia, launching as the anchor tenant in the prestigious Pier 57 as part of the James Beard curated food hall Market 57, the experimental Nom Wah Test Kitchen in Nolita, and introducing its signature dumplings to freezers across the country through a nationwide frozen line program. At every step, Nom Wah has remained true to its Chinese American identity, with hospitality and adaptation at the heart of its story.
Wilson Tang’s Vision for Las Vegas
“Las Vegas has always been on my mind as a place where Nom Wah could thrive—it’s a city that embraces heritage and innovation, which is exactly what we’re about,” said Wilson Tang, Owner and CEO of Nom Wah and Chinatown Hospitality Group. “Since taking over from my Uncle Wally, I’ve worked to evolve the brand through projects like Nom Wah Test Kitchen, Pier 57, and Philadelphia—all rooted in honoring our past while pushing dim sum forward. This new restaurant will be a curated collection of our greatest hits—flavors shaped by my own memories and experiences growing up in New York’s Chinatown. I’m thrilled to bring that story, and that taste, to Summerlin.”
Design and Dining Experience
With moody, vintage woods, mosaic flooring, vintage red barstools, and yellow accents married with the distinctive feeling of a bustling, big-city eatery, Nom Wah will offer a contemporary dining experience with an intimate, nostalgic vibe. Nom Wah will be approachable and genuine, while highlighting modern, forward-thinking riffs on Cantonese American cuisine, as well as the classic family recipes that have helped establish the brand as one of New York’s preeminent restaurants.
