Le Bon Goût Chez Fa

Stopped in for lunch a few days ago. My first time eating Senegalese food. Thank you to the owner for taking the time to come visit with us. We ordered C BON & THIEBOU YAP... the food was really good & beyond expectations.Although the food did take a bit long, overall experience deserves five stars. We appreciate the time & effort that was taken with our food service as the owner checked in with us a periodically. In addition, my wife was curious about the drinks at another table... and we were provided with a sampler of their juices to help decide.Highly recommend!

Really good food and service. We liked all the dishes. The chicken was really good, the ox tail fufu and other dishes were good as well.

So good!! Comfort food from mom pop type restaurant. Found our new favorite Senegalese (West African) restaurant!! We loved all the recommendations. The owner knows how to work with allergies (dairy and peanuts). They offer vegan and vegetarian options too! The owner and her kid are both super patient and understanding of kid ADHD/neurodivergents. It will take time to wait for your meals (we shared among the table). BUT overall service is quick and just one person/the owner. Any foodie out there looking for a punch of flavors, you'll love Senegalese cuisine. It's only our 2nd restaurant eating Senegalese food. The 1st restaurant we tried was the popular Calabash. But they serve mixed cuisines (Senegalese and Gambian), and the wait over our last visits just isn't worth visiting anymore. The SO slookes Calabash (Senegalese/Gambian) flavors better. I like Le Bon Gout Chez Fa because they can address allergies/dietary needs with certainty. . Le Bon Gout Chez Fa differs in certain tastes and such. We feel it definitely is a cleaner in quality and taste and wonder if that's the halal practice of things. And we don't have to wait 20min to just get out order, wait forever 40min for the food, then wait another 20min just trying to get the check. At Le Bon Gout Chez Fa, there was a slight wait for the food. And starting to understand maybe it just takes time when we want quality fresh food. On a Saturday 1pm, we were the only party with someone doing a pick up later on. Definitely recommend lunch for full attention to food and service. What we ordered --#21. Lamb okraOxtail not on menu. #15 Cury Guinar, Chicken $16.99.#42 Chicken Chops $16.99Jollof rice#8 Plantains $6. Comes with 5 pieces. We were a party of 6. She was so so sweet to make extra so each of us had enough to share!! The fufu and Jollof rice was more flavorful at Calabash. It was still good. It didn't make a difference to us since the pairing entrees were good. Also I don't know if the Gambian flavors makes the difference from Calabash. Overall, love Le Bon Gout Chez Fa. Owner was super sweet!! We'll be dining in and ordering take out all the time!

Since being vegan, I've been on the hunt for authentic West African food. It's something about joloff rice that just makes you feel loved. True comfort food!The search was over when I came across this gem on Yelp!It was everything I remembered joloff to be and even tried something new. I cannot wait to go back soon.FoodVeggie Mafe - 5/5 stars A peanut-based sauce, Served with white rice.Veggie Joloff Rice and Vegetables - 4/5 stars The joloff rice we know and love, with vegetables. The rice was perfection and seasoned so well! You can taste the savory flavors. I took one star away only because some of the root veggies were a little under cooked for my liking.Customer ServiceI ordered takeout, however, I was greeted right away and it did not take long for my food.AmbianceIt is a smaller space, but not overcrowded. It feels like sense of community where you're in a comfortable place visiting family for a great meal. Love it!Overall, I cannot wait to go back and try some of the other items under their vegan menu.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Le Bon Goût Chez Fa! I asked the owner and chef, Fatima, to choose a dish for me because it was my first time trying Senegalese food. She made me the dibi guinar (grilled chicken), and it was delicious. The flavors were incredibly savory and rich, with the perfect balance of spices that really brought out the best of Senegalese cuisine. She paired it with a refreshing iced tea, which was perfectly sweet! The highlight of the visit for me was getting the chance to chat with Fatima, the owner and chef. Her passion for cooking and dedication to introducing her cuisine to new customers really shines through, and it was such a joy to chat with her. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Le Bon Goût Chez Fa for anyone looking to try authentic Senegalese food in Las Vegas. I will definitely be returning to try more items on her menu!

Whatever you order, you will not be disappointed. Senegalese food is inspired by many cultures and traditions and it has inspired the world in return which I learned firsthand from the owner and chef here and I'll be forever grateful. I ordered the most traditional Senegalese dish as well as several traditional African specialities which are my favorites and they were all outstanding. The Fataya (fish patties) is savory and buttery crispy with delicate white fish inside. It's served with a scrumptious homemade sauce with a hint of honey. Five stars. My party was given a huge glass of tropical juice by the family members, along with everyone else in the restaurant. Complimentary! Delighted Uber and door dash drivers gathering takeout orders, fellow patrons and my party clinked glasses while we exchanged compliments about this delicious beverage. Five stars. I love the Tchep with fish here. It is a Traditional and popular dish of rice, fish and vegetables. This dish started with a small mountain of joloff rice, and delicious well-seasoned stewed veggies and a large portion of fresh fish. This dish has the perfect amount of umami flavor and it's rustic, healthy and a very good bargain. Five stars. We also ordered peanut butter stew with chicken with fufu. (Pounded yam) This dish is decadent, rich and a little sweet. One of my favorites, a lot of work goes into making this recipe and it is amazing here. Five stars. I admired the beautiful music playing, the artwork and the generous kindness from the family to everyone who entered during my dinner which sweetened the taste of my meal. My fellow travelers to Las Vegas were given huge complimentary bags of African steamed peanuts for our plane rides and journeys home. Everyone out there with an amazing mother can relate to this gesture and act of kindness. The peanuts are amazing here. Five stars. This restaurant opened the summer before my first meal here. It's the dream of the family who owns it to bring African food and traditions to the community here. Las Vegas is lucky to have them as you are for following in the lucky footsteps who find their way here. I learned to say "Cheers" in Senegalese (Asante!) while drinking Ataya, Senegalese Tea Culture here. Traditional Senegalese Tea is green tea with fresh mint and sugar which creates a foam when poured. It turns from bitter to sweet while drinking it. This is an ancient tradition admired by many cultures to help remind others about where they've been and the hopes ahead which sweeten the ending. I hope you end up here, fellow travelers. I know you will love it here. Best wishes and blessings to this family and their amazing family restaurant for everything they do for their community. And the world.

Always wanted to try new cuisine and this Senegalese restaurant does not disappoint. Tried the oxtail stew (which is not in the menu) with the cassava fufu & they were so delicious and so filling. Also tried the national dish of Senegal Thiebou jeun/ Thieboudienne, with fish, veggies and the jollop rice. I don't know the spices that they put in the jollop rice but it was so flavorful. The fish was a bit dry but turned out okay when paired with the complimentary house made super spicy sauce. Use a very small amount as I'm not kidding when I said super duper spicy -- and we love spicy food! We tried the fried sweet banana to balance this savory dish. Price is reasonable, place is clean and we really appreciate the attentive service. We'll be back most definitely.

WOW! I've officially found my new favorite restaurant in Vegas! My boyfriend is Muslim, so we were on the hunt for a good Halal restaurant. I've never had Senegalese food before so I figured it would be an experience to try. What a true culinary delight! What we ordered:Dibi guinar (grilled chicken) with jollof riceOxtail stew with fufu Yassa jeun My son had the grilled chicken. The chicken was flavorful, moist, and spice blend was wonderful! My oxtail with fufu was sooooooo good. Oxtail was fall off the bone tender. Fufu flavor was on point and perfect to sop up the stew. Yassa jeun was the star of the show. That onion reduction sauce and artistically seasoned lemon fish completely scratched all the pathways of our brain! We'd never tasted anything like it, and it was truly an honor to be able to eat it. If you like fish and there's one thing you have to decide between to get, let it be this!!! Sadly we didn't get ANY photos of our food, as we couldn't stop eating it as soon as it hit our mouth! We came in not feeling our best and Fatima, the owner, and her two lovely children took care of us as if we were their family. She brought out hot water with lime, chopped up garlic, and even brought us an onion concoction that was a homemade, generationally passed down recipe to cure colds. Once I finished eating her magical food I was already starting to feel better. After the garlic and lime tea, even better. Once I went home and drank her onion elixir.... I was fully healed! I can't thank her enough for her hospitality and kindness. And for giving me and my family the culinary experience of a lifetime! This is THE restaurant in Vegas for us that is a MUST go every time we visit. We're so happy we found one Dreaming for a location in california...

Senegalese food is a celebration of life, and in Las Vegas, it shines brightly amidst the culinary diversity. Each dish is more than just food; it carries stories, traditions, and love from the heart of West Africa. Imagine sharing a hearty bowl of oxtail soup or savoring flavorful thiebou jeun with family and friends, laughter filling the air. Meals have the power to ignite conversations, kindle friendships/bonds, and transcend cultural boundaries. Let's cherish these moments and keep our traditions alive through the delectable offerings of our cultural and ethnic cuisines! That's precisely what Aunty Fatima (chef/owner) of @lebongoutchezfa is doing. Her food is transcendent, transformative, and exquisite. @lebongoutchezfa is, in my opinion, an absolute MUST when in Vegas. Hands down, it is one of the BEST restaurants in the city. My go-to order is the oxtail soup and fufu, but all of Aunty Fa's food is insane. The oxtail and fufu combo is an EXPERIENCE, but then again, so is everything else on the menu. Aunty Fa, you are a TREASURE, and we LOVE YOU

My first time trying Senegalese food and I was blown away. Everything is so delicious but I really recommend the fufu with lamb and the poussin brassier and Jollof rice! Also the atmosphere was great and I loved watching the music videos.
