we ordered from the premium menu for $35.95 which was such a good deal!…read more the triangle symbol on the menu states it's limited one order per person. we ordered all the triangle symbols which was the uni, sweet shrimp, oysters, shooters, salmon belly sushi, and seafood platter which had crab legs, oysters, shrimp, and muscles. salmon roe was a crowd favorite. i loved the salty-ness of it. we also had the avocado salad, spicy edamame, and miso soup. our server was well accommodating and attentive. he got our orders in and made sure we were doing well throughout dinner. tables were spaced out as the restaurant itself looked big! you can probably have large dinner parties here. for dessert, we got the fried banana with ice cream. however, our matcha ice cream ended up at a different table which worked out because we were stuffed. an overall excellent meal with an excellent price point.

I really like AYCE. The idea of putting a sushi house in an old Outback seems hilarious to me…read more Apparently, I am not the only one, because the place is getting busy which is great and bad. When my wife and I first tried AYCE, it was during their soft opening. Great food. Great service. Lots of tables. I was worried about them staying afloat. They have grown and their ratings are not suffering significantly.

James took care of us at dinner on a Friday night. He was awesome and explained the menu very well…read more He made some really good recommendations and I'm glad we listened. We were here specifically for Restaurant Week and I have to say, good a really good deal considering the prices of some of the items we got. The Wagyu tartare alone was $52 already, and we spent $90 on a 3-course meal for RW. We had crispy rice tuna, Wagyu tartare, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, cinnamon roll, and the smores cake. To drink, I had an old fashioned with a Japanese whisky. It was nice and oaky. The wife had the she so spicy which was excellent (I had a sip). Everything we ate was divine; the only thing we were a little disappointed in was the consistency of the crispy rice. We wished it would have been a bit more sushi rice consistency on the inside, but it was a bit too soggy. Everything else was amazing though, especially the sea bass. The restaurant itself is so pretty, and we happened to get seated in the instagrammable area with the greenery. We are locals, so don't really care much for a strip view, but the restaurant does have a nice one. Would we come back here and pay à la carte next time? Probably not, but only because we try to avoid the strip like the plague.

Gorgeous Restaurant, Excellent Staff, and Delicious Asian Food sums up a perfect night at Kyu!!!!…read more This was our first time eating here, and all our expectations were met. It's the perfect place to wine and dine, or enjoy a fun night with your close friends. We order the Korean Fried Chicken, Roasted Duck, and Thai Coconut Cream Spinach for dinner. Each dish was savory and delicious. Definitely, a must try if you're looking for delicious Asian cuisine on the north end of the strip.

We love this restaurant! It's our favorite place to get fried rice! Our favorites are the brisket…read morefried rice and the lobster fried rice we also always get the Short rib dumplings (pan fried) to start, they are so delicious and I love the sauce they put on. It's not close to the side of town we're on which is far north west, Skye Canyon,, but we feel it's worth it! The waitstaff is always very attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to the menu. We actually come here often enough that we are very familiar with the menu and we always know exactly what we want to eat and drink! Sorry this review is so late but every time we go to Fremont Street we eat, have drinks and then we have a good time so I get sidetracked and forget to finish reviewing lol Overall, this is a really great restaurant. It's kind of small, but we've never really have to wait very long to be seated. The best part about it is, it's in Circa which doesn't allow anyone under 21 in the casino so we don't have to worry about those kind of large parties! (Just my personal opinion)

Very good restaurant if you're craving Asian food. I came over here massively hungover and this was…read moreexactly what I needed. Great decor, ambience and staff. Very attentive and friendly. We got the brisky dumplings, pan seared. I Was expecting the small din tai fung sized ones with little filling, but these were FAT dumplings, with good amounts of brisket inside. WE got the brisket fried rice - also very good, and the garlic noodles. I really liked the char that the noodles and rice had. Only thing for me is that the fried rice and noodles seemed to have a little too big much oil in it. I don't think that's an indictment on 8 east itself, but more of a general Chinese/Taiwanese cooking method. But other than that, I would certainly come back again.

Fast and friendly service. We will return!

First, give yourself time to park. Water Street can be a little hard to find parking at times. Nothing that the restaurant has to do with. The food was good. Nothing crazy exciting, but good. We got some lettuce wraps, some rolls, steak frittes and some nigiri. Wasn't very fusion to me. Different cuisines yes. But no fusion as far as combining flavors. Service: Service was good. Nothing super memorable but nothing bad at all. Which I'll take over bad service any day. Ambiance: Small little place. Cozy. 2 top tables are pretty small. So don't order to much at once. It won't all fit. All in all, just kinda average. We live pretty far, so unless friends want to go, will probably try somewhere different on Water St. next time.

I first visited Momofuku at The Cosmopolitan back in April to meet up with friends. I had already…read moreeaten dinner, so I didn't get to try the food or drinks, but everyone in my group really enjoyed their meals. During that visit, the manager, Karen, stopped by our table to check on us. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuine, and I told her I'd definitely come back to try the restaurant myself. About a month later, a friend came to visit from California, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to return. Coincidentally, Karen was there again, and once again she made us feel so welcome and appreciated. Then, last weekend, I came back with another group of friends, and Karen continued the same exceptional level of hospitality. She even surprised us with an appetizer and Momofuku's famous Blondie dessert, which was absolutely delicious! (For anyone wondering, it's only available during dinner service, and it's worth ordering.) Every visit I've had here has been a positive experience. The food has been great, the atmosphere is fun, and the hospitality has been what keeps bringing me back. Karen truly knows how to make guests feel special, and that's something you don't find everywhere. I'd also like to give a shoutout to Cassie at the front desk. She is warm, friendly, and welcoming, and she makes a wonderful first impression. If I could offer a little constructive feedback, I'd say the dining room could use a bit more lighting. It's a cute space, but it feels a little too dark for my taste. The music was also a bit louder than I'd prefer, making conversation a little difficult. During our most recent visit, the service was slower than expected, and the pours on the white wine seemed quite small considering they were $21 per glass. Overall, though, I've really enjoyed my experiences at Momofuku. Great food, outstanding hospitality, and a team that genuinely cares about its guests keep me coming back. Karen is a true asset to the restaurant, and she's a big reason I'll definitely be returning.

Momofuku was a great stop and worth adding to the Las Vegas list…read more We weren't going in starving, so we kept it to a few dishes and let the menu do the talking. Our server Christina was fantastic, super friendly and attentive throughout the whole meal. Already looking forward to coming back and letting her walk us through the omakase style ordering when we're a little more hungry. The Korean fried chicken was the highlight of the night without question. Double fried, perfect crisp, seasoning that actually made us stop mid-bite. That one delivered. We also got the cucumbers, which sounds simple but don't sleep on them - cool and refreshing with a nice little kick, and the scallion sauce pulled the whole thing together so well that I'm already down a rabbit hole looking for copycat recipes. We rounded it out with the spicy miso ramen because it felt like the right call at a place like this. It was solid, but the chicken set such a high bar that the ramen felt like the supporting act. Nothing wrong with it, just not a must-order the way the other two were.

We were visiting Las Vegas for the weekend and wanted to visit a new spot for an early anniversary…read moredinner. We chose Tao, as I've always been curious about it and it was a great reason to go explore the Venetian more. Loved the atmosphere, first off! The dim lighting was a vibe and it was decorated intentionally and tastefully. Love the giant statue and it was dressed in a Knicks jersey to top it all off (so fun!) Our server was super kind and he made sure to check on us the entire time but not in an annoying way. My husband and I are pretty good at making sure to split dishes (or else we waste food) and we decided on the Crispy Orange Chicken and the Lobster and Kimchee Fried Rice. The Crispy Orange Chicken was exactly that - perfectly crispy and great flavor! The bokchoy it was served with was cooked perfectly in that it wasn't too soft and it had a perfect crunch to it, but not too crunchy. The Kimchee Fried Rice was superb! There was a generous amount of lobster chunks throughout the rice and the kimchee had amazing flavor. Overall it was a deliciously executed dish! The food itself was fantastic and we were stoked with our choices. Our waiter knew it was our anniversary and after our meal we mentioned how full we were, so he came back to our table with complimentary glasses of champagne to congratulate us instead of dessert because he took note of how full we were. Such a nice gesture! I'd for sure come back here when in town and I'm glad we made a reservation here.

The decor is so dark and moody and I guess that's how they like it but for me I wished they tuned the lights up a bit. I enjoyed the Spicy Tuna Tartar on Crispy rice.

The satay of Chilean sea bass was excellent and flavorful but not much fish for the price. Overall the service and food was great both during the corporate event and the night on my own.

Best Friend: She's a Vegas 6 and an LA 4... just like me. :)…read moreLet me start by saying this is a five-star review in the context of the Las Vegas Strip. Would I give it five stars back home? Definitely not. But compared to the other dining options on the Strip, this is one of the places I'll happily spend my money. Vibes: A+ I love the fake convenience store entrance that opens into the clubby dining room. It has that over-the-top Vegas maximalist energy and reminded me of Omega Mart. It's playful, immersive, and exactly the kind of experience that works here. Service: A+ Our server was hilarious, genuinely engaging, and steered us toward some excellent choices. The standout recommendation was the aguachile, which ended up being the sleeper hit of the meal. Food: B+ We ordered the kalbi BBQ, the aquachile, the street corn, and the kimchi fried rice. The kimchi fried rice especially deserves a shout out. It topped versions I've had at more traditional Korean restaurants, which I wasn't expecting. Value: C This isn't really the restaurant's fault. It's Vegas. Everything on the Strip comes with a premium. Even so, we ordered all of the above for just over $100, which is honestly difficult to do at many Strip restaurants these days. I'm a fan of Roy Choi and what he's built. Before becoming a nationally recognized chef, he worked his way up through hotel kitchens and later helped spark the gourmet food truck movement with Kogi BBQ. He's also been a longtime advocate for making great food more accessible and has supported community initiatives focused on feeding underserved neighborhoods. At the end of the day, Best Friend is fun, unpretentious (again, for Vegas), and delivers one of the better values you'll find on the Strip. If I'm eating on Las Vegas Boulevard, this is one of the few places I'd happily return to.
