    Vegan fried dumplings
    Pamela J.

    Five stars for vegan / vegetarian options. Plus, they are exquisitely prepared. Why more places can't do a simple vegan dumpling like MokBar does, is beyond me. Regardless, they are perfectly delicious. Also love the quick and easy ordering. This is located in a wonderful celebrity food hall in the middle of Caesar's Forum.

    Working at Caesar's and decided to grab dinner from here. It's basically Americanized Korean food. I had bimpibap with pulled pork.

    We came to the food court as I wanted a quick bite to eat before we head the airport and I wanted to eat healthy. I think the whole Las Vegas trip I was eating really healthy for some reason except for some ice cream here and there. The line can get really long especially during peak time and they only have one person to take orders and then on top of that serve people the food and make sure it is correct. We ended up waiting 15 minutes in line to order and there was only 2 people ahead of us. It is overpriced, but I was able to use Caesar reward points to pay for it, but it ended up being $45 dollars. Overall, the food was alright, but I ended up getting a Kincaid sore on my lip from it, maybe it was too salty. The avocado was a little to heard for my liking, but the salmon was really good though and was not dry. I would come back and eat here again, but probably not use my own money to pay for it.

    Kimchi Ramen

    My friend Matt and I dined at this spot for lunch. It is right in between a restaurant by Rick Bayless, as well as Bobby Flay; all the restaurants in this area or by a famous chef or iron chef. For lunch, I got the kimchi Ramen with kimchi noodles and veggies. The bowl was $18.98. This was one of my favorite spots to go get Ramen. We definitely have to stop back. The service was quick and efficient and the bowl. My Ramen was in was also the to go bowl. In this area, where all the restaurants are, it is a quick grab and go area/quick service . I highly recommend stopping here. It is located in the Caesar's Palace. 10/10

    Pan Fried Dumplings
    Heather D.

    We stumbled across this when walking through the food court. We weren't super hungry, but everything sounded so good so we do end up ordering a few different items to try. The Bao buns were so good!! We tried both flavors which was the Braised Pork with Gochujang and Berf Bulgogi. These were both so amazing with the kimchi and cucumbers, totally recommend if you need a quick snack. We also got the Spicy Gochujang K-pop chicken which was like chicken.wings. This flavor was great. You can't go wrong with the Pan Fried Dumplings either. We would totally come back here if looking for something quick an easy.

    Food: 3.5 Service: 3.5 Ambiance: 3.5 Mok Bar is located inside the Celebrity Food Hall at Caesars Palace, so going in, I expected food hall-style dishes and slightly higher prices, which is pretty standard for the location. That said, I have to say I really enjoyed the food here. We had just arrived in Vegas that evening and happened to be at Caesars Palace, where we were craving something to eat. We stopped by Mok Bar and noticed a steady stream of customers. The line was short and moved fairly quickly, though the service was just okay and nothing particularly memorable. We ended up ordering the bao bun, pork dumplings, and bibimbap. There was plenty of seating available in the food hall, so we grabbed a table and waited. We received a buzzer and were notified when our food was ready. It did take a bit of time, but we didn't mind and were happy just relaxing and enjoying the moment. When our food arrived, it was packaged in a cute little box, which made us excited to try everything. The pork dumplings were good and pretty standard. I love bao buns, and the pork bao was very delicious with a slightly sweet flavor, though I do wish it had been a bit warmer. The bibimbap was colorful and flavorful. It wasn't piping hot, but it was still very tasty and satisfied our Korean food craving. Overall, Mok Bar was a solid stop and satisfied what we were looking for. I would recommend it to anyone wanting Korean-inspired food in a food hall setting in Las Vegas.

    Situated in the Food Hall at Caesar's Palace, MokBar by Esther Choi promised more than it delivered. The staff were great, helpful, and efficient as they were also busy cleaning/restocking for maybe the next day. It was a Wednesday evening, and maybe 1-2 customers ahead of me. It seemed to take some time to get orders out but that seemed to be the vibe at the Food Hall in general. The food hall was not crowded and tables were readily available as you wait for the pager to signal you to come pick up your order. I got the Bulgogi Bowl which sounded better on the menu than in reality. The flavors were there but so very, very muted almost bland. A side of Gochujang would have helped the side sauce tremendously. Overall in a pinch, this would work for a "quick" meal but with a bit more time/planning, there are other, much better options.

    Kimchi ramen
    Amber L.

    Mokbar is a Korean spot headlined by Esther Choi so we were pretty excited to give it a try and see what kind of flavors our bowl would bring. This spot is conveniently located in the Celebrity Food Hall right before the Forum Shops but the food court can get busy so be aware of that. We ordered kimchi ramen and fried pork dumplings. Ordering was quick and you get a buzzer to come pick up your food when it's ready so we went to sit and wait in the meantime. The food did end up taking a bit longer than expected and it didn't seem too busy upfront so be aware of that. We did eventually get our food and it looked pretty good so we were excited to dive in and here's what we found: The kimchi ramen has a nice punch, the broth is very colored and rich in flavor with a bit of spice. The noodles were on the firmer side and pretty standard in flavor. The big letdown was the meat though. It was stringy and flavorful but there was almost none of it. For every bite we took of the braised pork we would spend another minute looking for the next and it never came. The bowl was decent but it felt like they skipped out hard on it, which is unfortunate considering it comes in at a $19 price point. The pork friend dumplings were just okay as well. Nice crunch on the outside but the filling was meh. Ultimately we felt a bit let down by Mokbar. The food is by no means bad, just average. It definitely fixes a ramen craving, but if you're coming here looking to be wowed by Esther Choi's cooking then it may not be the surprise you're looking for. At the end of the day it is food court food so it's probably not the smartest to try to hold it to restaurant quality in your head, but we'll give this place a recommendation to anyone staying in Caesars who has a strong craving for Korean food as they do offer others things like bulgogi rice bowls.

    Classic Ramen
    Julia H.

    Located inside Caesars Palace's food court, I was excited to try Esther Choi's food! I ordered the Classic Ramen and it was prepared fairly quickly. Seating can be limited during peak hours since it's shared with other restaurants inside the food court. As far as "food court ramen" goes -- it was decent! It's a gochujang pork broth that wasn't spicy and has a lot of toppings. This was a snack between meals for me, since I knew I wasn't going to have a big dinner.

    Bruce L.

    Wow.. I am incredibly disappointed with my experience here. I paid $57.40, but the food quality was unacceptable. * Ramen: The noodles were overcooked and mushy (like rice cakes), yet the soup was way too salty to eat. * Bibimbap: The rice was undercooked and hard. It was literally inedible. * Bulgogi: The meat was tough and dry, like chewing on rubber. As someone who loves and knows Korean food, it honestly hurts to see K-food represented this poorly. It takes a lot of nerve to charge nearly $60 for such low-quality cooking. I would strongly advise everyone to stay away from this place. There are much better, more authentic options elsewhere. Owner, please do better. Don't give Korean food a bad name.

    I knew of Esther Choi from watching Iron Chef, so seeing her name on a Vegas marquee felt like a mini celebrity sighting. Located inside Caesar's palace, in the celebrity food court, it's bustling with prime Vegas energy: sleek, modern, and perfectly positioned for a refuel between casino wandering and shopping laps. I ordered the Bulgogi Bowl ($21.99) which had thinly sliced marinated ribeye, carrots, onions, kimchi, scallions, and a poached egg. The ribeye was tender and well-marinated, slightly sweet with a savory soy-garlic depth. The portion of beef was generous, and the vegetables added crunch and balance. The kimchi brought just enough acidity and heat to cut through the richness, and once the poached egg broke and coated everything, the yolk tied the whole bowl together. Portion-wise, it looked modest at first glance, but I left completely full. If you're in Vegas and want something flavorful that's not another steakhouse or buffet round, this is a solid stop.

    K-Pop Chicken
    Cat F.

    Longtime Esther Choi fan here so I had to make my way to Mokbar at Caesars! Overall, the experience was great. The food was tasty, service was quick and the staff were friendly. The only drawback is the location. Since it's inside the Caesars Celebrity Food Court, seating can be limited and a little hectic during peak lunch/dinner hours. What I ordered: * Kimchi Ramen ($18.99) - 8/10. Flavorful broth and hearty portions. Noodles were slightly clumped even when eaten right away. * Beef Bulgogi Bao Bun ($9.99) - 8/10. Light, fluffy bao and flavorful bulgogi. Delicious but gone in two bites and feels expensive for what you get. While it's satisfying, you're left wanting more. Worth trying once. * K-Pop Chicken ($11.99) - 6/10. Came with 6 wings so the value isn't bad compared to other spots. Sizes were inconsistent (one giant drumstick vs two tiny wings) and the chicken was a bit dry. Wouldn't order again. If you like heat ask the staff for their chili oil. They'll give you a small to go container. Overall, Mokbar is worth checking out if you're a fan of Esther Choi or just want solid Korean inspired bites on the Strip.

    My deep bowl of Gochujang Teriyaki Chicken Bowl.  Delicious & satisfying!
    Amy C.

    Friday, 4-04-2025: Another overdue review. We had been walking around Caesar's looking for a place to eat for lunch. We were famished & happily found the food court. I wanted some Asian cuisine while hubby opted for a hamburger. The MokBar fit the bill perfectly. They were pricey and I hoped it was worth it! I was greeted warmly by the cashier and asked about the various bowls they offered. I told her I had never heard of Gochujang Teriyaki and she said it was very good and highly recommended it. So, I trusted her & ordered the Gochujang Teriyaki Chicken along with a White Peach Boba drink. It didn't take too long before I received my order. It smelled so good & the portions were huge! She didn't steer me wrong! The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender and the vegetables were not over cooked. I found it delicious and filling! I didn't need to eat dinner, for sure. My Boba drink was refreshing and a perfect complement to my fantastic meal! I was very pleased with my overall experience. I will return when we visit Caesar's again.
