The ambience was fun and cool. The service, minus our server, was great. We had someone in our group with a shellfish allergy, and our server blew through the menu as he pointed out the choices that contained the allergen. We could barely hear him because he was talking so quickly. We had to ask him to repeat himself and he was not amiable. The hostess and another manager/server were kind and friendly. The other manager/server even reinforced which dishes were allergen free as he brought them out.
The food was good and tasty. Banchan appetizers are wayyyyy overpriced. I get it’s Vegas and you’re paying a premium but the banchan came out in small ramekins. Splurge on the roasted zucchini- that was tasty and worth it. The tacos, kimchi fried rice, pork belly bowl, and birria ramen were all tasty - but nothing incredible. We didn’t regret attending but would not return.
We thought Lala Noodle across the room was better for Asian food.

My husband and I got the wonderful opportunity to eat here after hearing about it for months. The food was to die for! We loved the ambiance and chill vibe, the music, lighting all of it! We will be coming back and highly recommend getting the chef menu if it’s ur first time. Then it gives more excuses to come back and try new things.

The drinks at Best Friends were absolutely amazing, but the food? Phenomenal! We tried the Uni Dynamite fried rice, street corn, and the Big Boy platter. Every dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The service was on point, with staff who were super friendly and gave excellent food recommendations. A top-notch dining experience all around. Can’t wait to come back!

I have been to Best Friend twice. The food was excellent and the bartenders Israel and Gil are really good at what they do. Drinks are prepared with natural ingredients and taste great. The food is excellent and is better that I thought it would be

The food was fantastic, but get a reservation. We made the mistake of trying to walk-in, and had to sit in the receiving area/bar to avoid waiting for a table. It was fine, other than the constant stream of customers arriving for a table in the actual restaurant. The kogi short rib tacos were excellent, as were the drinks.

Our group absolutely loved this restaurant. Our favorite dishes were the slippery shrimp, bbq platter and the fried rice. The service was excellent and the atmosphere had a nice vibe with some great hip hop music.

This restaurant was a must for us on our short Vegas trip. All expectations were exceeded. Our server, Frankie, was amazing. The ambience was perfect. The food, beyond extraordinary. The cocktails were delicious and inspired. A must do while in Vegas!
Super cute vibe. The food was unfortunately not good. We ordered a BBQ platter, which consisted of 3 different meats. The pork and galbi was undercooked, and the chicken was overcooked. Overall the consistency of the meat was off. When we mentioned this to our server Cynthia, she was dismissive about it. The kimchi was over fermented (I’m Korean from LA) and too sour. The rest of the dishes were average at best. A lot of the dishes we had were too sour. The drinks were also too sweet. I really wanted to like this place, since I love Roy Choi’s other restaurants in LA, but the food and service were very disappointing. My friend said that the last time she came, the food was much better, so maybe the kitchen was having a bad day.

The manager was the most unnecessary staff there. They were short of staff, and our table was literally next to the register, but whenever we asked the manager something, he was always like “let me tell the waiter”. After the few times, he walked to the front and hang around with the host to avoid our requests. He also stared at us without saying goodbye when we were walking out. The management was also poor that many tables waited at least 30 minutes for just the welcome drink. They did not serve us the roll until we asked at the end of the meal. When bringing the rolls, the waiter did not apology and gave the attitude like “happy?!”
