- This might be one of my new favorite spots in Las Vegas, Best Friend by Chef Roy Choi. Had an amazing dinner with fantastic service and a vibe unlike any restaurant I've experienced yet. This is definitely a Culinary Discovery worth exploring when you come to Vegas. It's located in the Park MGM.

What restaurant should I try next? Let me know in the comments
hee you forgot to blur the person in min 4:50 i dont want you to get in problems so maybe correct it if you need any help with video editing or bluring i can help you out
Kaiseki Sanga for omakase!!!
Peppermill is known for being in movies. Eggslut, Hattie b’s hot chicken and other random places in the cosmopolitan if you want to hit more than one up at once.
Have you been to Bavettes Steakhouse there in The Park MGM? Try that one, if you haven’t.👍🏻👍🏻
Legends Oyster Bar and Grill Henderson. 'That was my neck of the woods'
Hell yeah buddy! So awesome of the nice couple to buy your dinner. I am loving your videos. Wish I still lived there. I lived ther from 1984 to 1991 and loved it. Vegas was a small town then and super cheap to eat.
The WAITER was totally on it. He really knows his MENU. Amazing service. So many restaurants. They just don't GET it.
THANKFULLY there is still awesome people out in our CRAZY world.❤
This restaurant had an awesome vibe. Eric getting called hot, Great couples on other side. Shout out to Rachel and Jamil. Book Eric for a dinner party, so we can see you again. You two were great! And to the best bar tender and friendly guy, Jerry! That shot of the spicy pork steaming up the camera and the sizzle. Dang! Luv Roy Choi's cookbook L.A. Son.
That's the way I like to see food served...STEAMING!!
Nice people meeting nice person! Love seeing a man enjoy his food. Deserved!
It's so cool that you interact with your neighbors! The locals are the best ones to listen to!
The interaction with that couple was so wholesome. Great video as always!
Mezcal based drinks are the BEST! That couple was awesome... Made me think of going to my aunt and uncles place growing up. Comfortable with sharing and fun conversations just keeping it light and easy. Very nice video!
What an amazing couple. To share their food w/u.The waiter 100% amazing. Looking forward to see what you do with couple.
Love that place. Your experience seems to be pretty typical, people are very friendly and are there for good food ana great time. I've had two friends meet Roy, haven't met him yet but did meet the DJ, went to see him play later that night and had a great time. Glad you finally checked it out and had a great time.
Worst nightmare when someone engages me in conversation when I'm trying to eat by myself.
Ichiron is your place then haha single seating and barriers
Makes me want to go back to Vegas!!!🥰
LOVE the content dude! keep it up please you are helping me get back into cooking and wanting to branch into private/personal cheffing
Ok, l subscribed at 7 am. I've been binge watching ALL day. Brother in Huntington Beach, Uncle in Palos Verdes Estates, nephew in Vegas, me in Scottsdale. It's all good. Especially this channel! So fun. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ. I just hope l dont run out of content. Oh, & mom & Dad on Coronado Island. Best friend in Carlsbad. Go team. X cheerleader from ASU.
Appreciate you doing these so much! I've never been to Vegas and would only want to go to have a hub for traveling to the deserts / parks around the city, but I'm a big foodie and that is always our biggest spend when my husband and I go places, so I will be making a list of "go to's" for our eventual trip based on your videos and a few others we have found.
Very wholesome interaction in the beginning. That was amazing!
Best Friend is awesome! My favorite place in Vegas is China Pablano. Jaleo and Bizzare Meats were amazing too, but my personal favorite José Andrés restraunt is China Pablano. I eat there every time Im in Vegas, sometimes multiple times!
What an amazing and wholesome experience! I hope the couple reach out and y'all can connect! That'd be so great if you could make something nice for them and repay their generosity!
You should be a beard model. 😊
I really enjoyed Best Friend… Another really good local Korean option is Master Kims and 8oz. Both top notch.
Vegas is awesome for just striking up random convos… love it.
I went to master kim's last week to try to do this, stood at the front desk by the hostess stand for eight minutes and nobody said anything to me. Super disappointed
@@CulinaryMisfits I assume you went to the town square location? That is too bad, the wait times and front of the house staff at so many resturants in town are so scatter brained lately, went to Mr. Shota last week and had a similar experience.
Best friend is amazing! I got to go there earlier this year. You made my mouth water seeing you try their dishes. Try Mother Wolf when you can. It was amazing!! I want to go back badly.
bar seating is my favorite ❤
I feel like cooler people sit up at the bar.
It's a great way to meet locals like you did, bartenders are the best for recommendations for food and drink. Thanks for Vegas restaurant tips, planning a girl's trip next March🥰
Solo dining at the bar is one of my fav ways to decompress while also treating myself. Talked to a lot of cool and interesting people over the years and I also eat during off-brand hours which seems to help a lot.
Just in Time!!
Give a THUMBS UP Everyone!!
I recently found this channel and subscribed to it. I have only seen two of your videos but I really love what you are doing.
Really enjoyed this video! It’s refreshing meeting genuinely nice people. Glad you had a fabulous experience 🌈
Gonna order extra rolls to make sliders next time! I love everything I have ever ordered and we eat at there every time we go to vegas!
Another masterpiece! Keep up the content ❤
Thank you for this. We enjoy the Park and have walked by Best Friend assuming it was just a liquor store front so many times. Definitely going next time we are in Vegas.
What a great experience, and that's complete karma after buying that couple's tacos at El Gordo! Good on you! I'm a former chef who adores the Vegas food scene and try to get there as much as possible, so I'm stoked that I found your channel. You definitely need to explore Chinatown if you haven't already. Taiwan Deli for breakfast, China Mama, and Lamaii Thai are all favorites. Also, we have had awesome meals at KYU in Fontainebleau. The wagyu tartar with bone marrow is amazing!
A Vegas resident here. Loving your content! Keep it up!
So cool that they ask about food allergies ❤
Omgosh ‼️🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A chance encounter with some genuine kind people,good food and by the sounds of it great people working there makes it an all round amazing experience
Love your personality and attitude. You create a positive and comfortable feeling. ❤
I just stumbled upon your channel. Love your videos. The most expensive meal I've ever had was at Le Cirque in the Bellagio. I knew it when they asked if I wanted a black napkin to match my dress. So you could try that place to see if you think it's worth the price.
I stumbled upon your page and after one video I was hooked! Of course we subscribed. Cool vibes, seem like a chill dude.... good for you. I think your RUclips name is PHENOMENAL and so dope. From a 47 year old women in Minneapolis, you are a new favorite for my husband and myself. How cool were the couple in the restaurant?! All very cool. Wishing you all the best with the apt in the works, we'd love to see how that comes along. Take care ✌️
We ate there in late 2019 and it was great. The food and service were spectacular!
RRRIIIIIGGGGGHHHHTTTTT
This is what its all about. A restaurant on its own is one thing, but having an experience like that is rare and was awesome to watch
They were so kind to share
Eating marmite on toast watching this. Lots of umami! Loving yr content. Found a new rabbit hole and a lovely rabbit to accompany me.
I just discovered your channel and I love your videos!!
So growing up half korean, I feel at odds at this place. I've avoided this place just not thinking of it as a 'real' korean restaurant. But after your review I'll give it a go. Might not be Mom's home cooking... but many times it's also the experience. Looks fun, looking forward to it.
Eric, love the video! I think your experiences with strangers make your videos better. I think you’d do well with videos that focus on the food and the people who you meet.
This video makes me want to give Best Friend another try. My first experience there was so disappointing. All the food was average except for the galbi, which was one of the worst I've ever had. I really wanted to like it too, because I've enjoyed all the other food I've had from Roy Choi. Maybe it was just a bad day at Best Friend and I should try it again.
beautiful meal🌷I can only imagine the flavors🌷
I love this channel. The content is so interesting and diverse, and you are very personable. Keep it up Eric!
That place is so legit one of my favorite spots
"You are a good looking guy where is your girl" - the most awkward ice breaker there is. What if the guy just wants to be single, or has a husband, or his wife died...I think they are just swingers out for a good time though.
Enjoying your series of different restaurants.
The sign looks like dollar general's sign
That's The Point. If only the Dollar General serve food like this for a dollar hahaha
For real you're an inspiration to me man @@CulinaryMisfits
heading to vegas in the fall. Going to hit this up for sure looked so good.
That was fun and the food looked absolutely delicious!
Dude, I love your channel. You have such a great personality. Congrats on your success.
Misfit, great content, really enjoy your delivery, very relaxing, keep it up.
Always trust the kind of strangers. Ok food looks great!
Best Friend = my favorite restaurant in Vegas , great video!
I’ll have to give this place a try next time I’m in Vegas! Yuummm
Whooooooooooooaaa Vegas Baby!!!❤
Great vid man. That stuff happens to me and my girlfriend a lot. Been loving your vids since I’m trying to do the private chef thing but Daytona beach is not really the market. Awesome vid
The nice man is right! 🔥👨🍳.
You know you must be good-looking when another straight man says you are “hot”! Another excellent video Chef Eric! You are almost convincing me to try eating alone at restaurants. Something I have never felt comfortable doing.
I lost my husband over a decade ago. Get out there and eat alone! Bring a book if you feel awkward. After you order a drink, stick your head in your book or phone.
Sit at the bar , then you’re not at a table alone, if that bothers you.
I eat out all the time alone and have since he’s been gone. Life goes quickly, get out there and do what ya wanna do!
Always better with people but not gonna go because it's just me. The upside of going alone, you get to order what you want
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 Thank you!! I am going to do it!
You can do it - solo eating at the bar is such a natural thing to do. Start off eating like an hour after the lunch rush when there will hardly be anyone else there. Good bartenders will be able to chat with you a bit and it helps break the ice.
Would’ve loved to see Roy Choi come out if he was there
That looks delicious. I guess I need to make my way down to the strip more often!
Food brings everyone together
i clicked this video because i thought it said I Ate My Best Friend In Las Vegas.
CM: Do you have a house or signature cocktail that I have to have?
Waiter: Yes.
Me: Um...this is when you tell the customer what the cocktail is.
Good stuff, thanks from Germany
Pretty sure Best Friend is my favorite restaurant in Vegas. Consistently excellent food and service. Every.single.thing on the menu is delicious 😋
Next time, try the kimchi carbonara ❤
My 2nd favorite is definitely Momfuku
You should check out Diablo’s Cantina in the Luxor. It’s a hidden gem! Amazing food, great service, cool atmosphere inside the Luxor!!
I am in the Phils. but I like the video. I bet all the food youve eaten were yummy.
What great karma.. love these videos!
Spot for you to try - grab a couple of Sandwiches at Lardo at Cosmopolitan… (the Pho’Rench Dip can’t be missed!) .. and try a Bronx bomber or Poechetta
I'm all about trying out a good sandwich
My boyfriend just took me to Best Friend on Tuesday for my birthday and it AMAZING
Keep up the amazing content dude
Short rib tacos are my fav here. 🎉🌮
Wait! What? I didn't see those. Damn, now I need to go back lol
I thought this was about me and was like “Eric still loves me” then realized it’s a restaurant.
😂😂😂
@@CulinaryMisfits In all seriousness this video was fantastic. I told you previously it feels like we the viewer 1. Know you and 2. Are there with you. Great job!
About time someone said Hot Guy. I've been saying and thinking that ever since I started watching him. He could throw a pop tart in a toaster and I would watch him.
😂😊
What a great night!
Damn I just went to Best Friend last week and feel like I blew it with my order. Was with my wife and we wanted to order the tasting menu each but she doesn’t eat pork so she couldn’t have it and they wouldn’t serve it just one person. The place was pretty chaotic when we went as it was super busy so waiter didn’t have a whole lot of time to explain the menu. Ended up getting the garlic chicken, the street corn and short rib tacos. Food was really good but wish I could have tried a few different things as everything there looks so good. Anyway will have to to back when I am in Vegas again!
That was awesome
He is soo right you have to be the most handsome man on this planet❤
need to try.. i tried momofuku.. and i was.... underwhelmed...
I love Best Friend but charging for banchan is sacrilege in Korea, Roy should know better
Now I'm starving. Off to the grocery store...
You are a handsome guy!! Believe it 😊
Delish!!!!! Whoooooooaaaaaa
I might actually go hit the strip for this! Damn it looks good.
Definitely should
Why do I have a feeling you’ll be making spicy pork sliders on Hawaiian rolls for your future clients 🤤
Oh Man!! I swear I could smell that spicy pork thru the screen!!
I stayed there last year but didn't know it was a restaurant
Hope they comment, like and subscribe!
That spicy pork looks incredible
🔥
I thought the restaurant was "his" best friend's
I, thought he ate someone out ❤😂🎉
They paid it forward for you paying for a couples lunch earlier :)
Lol a guy called u hot guy😂😂.. u do hot guy❤
as dish washer my dream is to be like this dude right here , who said i am aim to low
