Best WLM Reviews
I ate here about a year ago, and was pleased it was as good as I remember. This time I had a reservation and was able to sit in, and it was a great atmosphere.
The food was excellent. No matter what you get, it's good. Staff are also very friendly and nice. Decor is also fun.
Try the Korean Chicken Wings appetizer. Well worth it and some of the best fried wings I've ever had.
Best friend was so great! My boyfriend and I are traveling from out of town and we both got the chef menu - $75 per person and it was more than worth it. The food kept coming out and had us stuffed by the end. The watermelon cocktail was refreshing. I genuinely have nothing but positive things to say about this restaurant. The staff was friendly, the live dj was fun.
We loved it! The food was some of the best food we’ve ever had. We asked the waitress what she recommended and she didn’t let us down. The beef was probably my favorite. The atmosphere is great, they have a live DJ the whole time. If you want it to be quiet this probably isn’t your place.
We reserved this place as the final meal before leaving Vegas on a family trip. The atmosphere was quite nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food was too expensive for the quality. The best dishes were the short rib tacos, decent portions, the sourness to the slaw was a nice contrast, short ribs were probably the best meat out of what we tasted that night, reasonably flavored and tender, and the corn tortillas were well prepared at least. The house salad was well done, light and crisp. I wouldn’t recommend the bbq sampler, the garlic chicken was over sauced, and the spicy pork was kind of a giant congealed mess. The short ribs lacked flavor and was surprisingly dry compared to the other meats drenched in sauce. I was really disappointed to see ?chef, cook, simply get some raw onions and toss the cooked meats on to and sent it over to the customers. The onions barely had char. The pork belly rice used Korean rice at least, but was way overcooked and stuck together in over moistened clumps. The house broccoli and daikon, weren’t really bite sized and didn’t really go with the dish in a way you would expect to eat them together. Each were an awkwardly cut sized so either you ate them on your own or had to pick at each to enjoy the entire flavors of the dish. Maybe it’s the style Roy Choi is going for, but it’s probably just me thinking I couldn’t enjoy the rice bowl like I would normally do. Banchan was basically boiled spinach and bean sprouts in what I’m guessing lightly salted water if that. No meaningful flavors compared to the slap in the face the bbq sampler or the pork belly forced. Overall, the atmosphere is great, likely for the clientele, however the I wouldn’t come here for the food. Would probably have tacos el Gordo and recommend any mom and pop shop in LA for Korean. Vegas has a lot more tasteful options.
Visited Vegas and this place was highly recommended by Reddit. Decided to try it out but boy was it waaaaaay overhyped. The dining area gives club vibes with loud music playing in the background, with a DJ, in a dark light room, in a trendy setting. Not sure why there's so many high reviews; the food is mediocre and overpriced even by Vegas standards. I got the Chef's menu which was $75 per person. The kogi tacos barely had any meat in it and were tasteless. The slippery shrimp was decent but nothing special. Kimchi fried rice was also super bland and lacking any flavor. Felt like I was eating plain white rice. Both the BBQ pork belly and chicken was yet again bland and flavorless. Does it hurt to season it with some salt here?... The dessert was super sweet but not in a good way. It was overly too sweet. We didn't even finish it. We took leftovers home and ended up trashing it next morning despite paying so much for the food; and I'm one that don't like to waste food. The Chef's menu was supposed to sample the best they had to offer... and if this was the best, I have no reason to come back again. I think my favorite thing was the free butter bread.
Everything about our dinner at Best Friend really exceeded expectations! Would definitely recommend coming here.
Atmosphere was great, lively and interesting with a cool diner like entry and then a sprawling back area with live dj. We were seated promptly and had a reservation.
The service is really where the staff hooked it up. Being in town for a bachelor party and a friends birthday we were treated with 2 free desserts, a round of shots for the table, and one extra drink (which was just an accident) but still very generous of the staff. It put everyone in a great mood and we felt we were being well taken care of.
Food all around was delicious. From the slushie boozy drinks to the meat trio platter. Everything was tasty and went well together. Would definitely come back here if I was in Vegas again. Make a reservation.
Came with a group awhile back and it did not disappoint. We had the Chef Menu and everything was delicious. On top of that the service and ambiance was fantastic. If you are in Vegas, I definitely recommend checking this place out. Oh and the storefront and store is a nice touch and a must see!
My husband and I couldn't love this restaurant more. We got the Chef's Menu and loved everything that was brought out to us. From the warm melt in your mouth bread, kimchi fried rice with crunchy rice bits (my favorite part of rice), to the most amazing cheesecake we've EVER had. It was an amazing experience we hope to be back for the next time we're back in Vegas.
