Best Friend: Our New Las Vegas Favorite?
We have been wanting to try Best Friend in Las Vegas and we finally did! This Korean-Mexican fusion spot is a culinary experience that is a must try if you like flavor! Chef Roy Choi is known for his "not so fancy" food, but food doesn't need to be fancy to be DELICIOUS! Check out the video to see what the fuss is all about!

Yes, it’s really good, Ikaika! Maybe a place to try if you make it out soon!
I was just there last week and the food is amazing! We had ordered a lot of the same items you did and they were all fantastic.
Congratulations! on 14K

I almost always stay at Park MGM because it’s pretty cheap, non-smoking, not huge and all of the restaurants are amazing. I always just sit at the bar at Best Friend because getting reservations is nearly impossible. It’s truly amazing. Glad you loved it!

We love Park MGM. We did get married there in 96 when it was Monte Carlo, so it will always be special. But we really like the size, the food options, and decent location!

Ohh La La is right . So glad that you made it to Best Friend restaurant . I’m so fortunate to be able to go to Chef Roy Choi “KOGI BBQ Truck” on Friday nights in my area. It’s 10 mins away from where I live . I’m hooked on the short rib tacos , burritos, and the KOGI dog .The watermelon cocktail looked yummy. I agree with Enrique on the Corona.The dessert though. OMG ! The candle was a nice touch to the table .I did watch this video twice . Your enthusiasm was contagious. Amazing foodie review

Great vid guys! I have a hat from there. Cheers
Yesss!! I need to find some peeps to take next time so we can share more dishes. $65 is a great price for the variety you got. I can't handle much spice tho so I'd need a bowl of raw cucumbers or something next time 🤣 and the cocktails!! So good!

There was definitely spice in almost everything we ate (except the meat). But I’m sure there are options. You definitely need to go here! A must try.

Oh Wow! Hi! I was sitting next to you and your husband (you probably don't remember) at the Bar! You were not filming at the time. You are the sweetest person! I didn't know you were a Content Creator I ordered the Slippery Shrimp and the Fried Rice! I loved the Fried Rice (I don't like Kimchi either, but I loved that dish)! The Shrimp was okay, but I wasn't wowed by it.

What a small world it is! Yeah, that rice was delicious! I did like the shrimp, but liked how we got to sort of sample many dishes. I think that shrimp would be too rich for a main dish. Hope your trip was good!

Hi! Thanks for all the great videos. Awesome job. Please help me decide between staying at Park MGM ( suite) or Aria ( standard room with possible upgrade and credit). Any thoughts? Gracias and Hi from Mexico

Hola Luis! I think your choice depends on your style. Aria is very large and modern. It feels luxurious. Park MGM has an older style and is smaller, but easy to find your way around. They are neighbors and connected by an interior walkway so it's pretty easy to get from one to the other, so if you don't like your choice, you can visit the other haha! We like both for different reasons, but we go to Vegas a lot. Be sure to watch our videos on each one and really just choose your style!
