Hey next time you’re in Las Vegas check out “House of Dutch” amazing Jamaican food

[@tv-21]

Mochi donuts > Regular donuts

[@AMOFOUR4x]

I’m so glad you mentioned the cleanliness of the Arepas place, it’s always perfectly clean and food is delicious…

[@JamieBell-fe3hj]

I went to Viva Las Arepas today and it was Amazing! We drove in from Palm Desert and this was our first stop. Not to be missed. Thank you!!

[@loganlasvegas]

Food looked good. But you should include prices so we can assess value. You can find good food everywhere, but the gems offer High satisfaction at a reasonable cost.

[@withthetrans]

Agreed

[@TheATHLETE420]

They're all pretty expensive based on what you get but the quality is there. Poke Express is the best value because you're buying it by the pound and can sample whatever you want before you buy it.

[@ryanm4013]

Goes Google work where you live???

[@johnnytx45]

​@ryanm4013 Does grammar checker work where you live?

[@AgentJayzBond]

yea they are a bit too expensive to me as a non-US resident, the set meals from TON-TON literally cost more than twice than what you can get in Japan, and you don't have to tip anything in Japan, and it's really hard to have tastier food than Japan

[@eastbayarearesident3631]

Native Hawaiians also go to Vegas for the service and construction jobs. They settled in, brought in other family members and now have a large community in Las Vegas.

[@maximus3511]

Just got back from Hawaii yesterday - they told me Vegas is the 9th Hawaiian island lol

[@jampar8]

To gamble

[@stevecostello6872]

Unko Franks for the best loco moco inexpensive but plenty grinds

[@Matthew-oh5ms]

Nothing in life better than watching Gareth eating! We bookmarked a couple of these places and are anxious to try them. Keep on trucking Gareth!❤

[@JacobFu]

Too much fun! Thanks for having us!!

[@conniedeem4383]

Viva Las Arepas actually started across the street in a little food cart in front of Dino's Bar. They were an immediate success. I am a true born native of Las Vegas and very proud of my home town. We have a beautiful melting pot here and access to any type of cuisine you desire. Plus, we don't have leave on a trip/vacation to experience it. Viva Las Vegas!

[@mojojim6458]

"Something that I'm very excited about." FOOD! I'm always excited about your food videos, too.

[@emilywynstra]

Those arepas looked delectable and I loved how you were able to connect with some Venezuelan vacationers and make them feel comfortable!! Great video Gareth 🤍

[@tonynicoletti8161]

I spent over $1000 on dinner for 2 at SW steak, and that $9 arepa at vivas almost made me cry. The pabelion was fantastic.

[@mindysmom6132]

Gareth, your honesty about the mochi donuts is definitely appreciated! I don’t care for mochi donuts or boba tea, myself. I do, however LOVE Korean style donuts. If you’re ever back in Southern California, please visit ‘The Source’ in Buena Park. It’s a 3-story outdoor mall. Ferry Donuts on the first floor has super delicious donuts! The crème brûlée donut is amazing! Then….visit the 3rd floor food court. There, you can find milk cream donuts, strawberry cream donuts, and banana cream donuts, along with several other types of donuts. ALL are super delicious! I’ll be heading to LV in August. Thanks for sharing the Poke and the Katsu place.

[@sarahisselling]

Mochi donut is one of those desserts that just hits you right! Love this cool hidden gem

[@ultraultra6726]

Boy, you know I'm stoked about the recent uptick in content! I love this channel! Making me crave doughnuts in the worst possible way!

[@GarethEats]

I truly appreciate it. Finally on a regular content routine now that I'm all healthy. Lots more to come! 👊

[@brandonmoore2237]

Another fantastic food adventure! I need to try an arepa ASAP. The ones you guys had look incredible. Also, I love how polite you are when you don't like the food 😂 Haha, it cracks me up. I'd never thought of Las Vegas as a food city before this but it looks like I need to rethink that! 🤪

[@TuddsCrapshoot]

Maybe the best in the country, it’s wild here

[@Brodietravels]

I have been a loyal follower of your travel channel for as long as I can remember, eagerly waiting for each new episode to transport me to breathtaking places I could only dream of visiting. But when you made the bold decision to launch your food channel, everything changed. What started as casual viewing quickly transformed into something far more profound. It didn’t just inspire me-it completely altered the way I see the world. Your deep passion for food, the culture behind each dish, and the stories you share from kitchens around the globe have opened my eyes to the beauty of something I used to take for granted. Every episode stirs something in me, igniting a curiosity I didn’t know existed. It has made me see food not just as nourishment, but as an art form, a connection to the soul of a place, a story waiting to be told. The way you uncover hidden culinary treasures, showcasing local chefs and unique flavors, has become more than entertainment for me-it’s become a part of my daily life. I’ve begun experimenting in my own kitchen, trying recipes I’d never dared before, tasting ingredients I’d once overlooked. And through this journey, I’ve found a passion for cooking and food that I never knew I had. What you’ve created is more than just a food channel-it’s a source of inspiration that has fundamentally changed how I live, how I cook, and even how I connect with others. You’ve helped me see the world through a new lens, one filled with flavor, culture, and adventure, and for that, I can’t thank you enough.

[@jedimaster1080]

Mochi donuts are amazing.

[@rjshron]

That arepas restaurant is by far my most favorite spot in vegas!!!

[@GarethEats]

10000% agree! They were honestly so good! I could have only stopped there and been happy!

[@ijsantiago2324]

What's the name of the areas place?

[@golfrabble]

The sweet corn arepa is unbeaten.

[@GarethEats]

True story! 🙌

[@karenrn5607]

As always-you don’t disappoint!!!❤

[@GarethEats]

I appreciate you. 🙏

[@TeresaCha-v5x]

I’m getting ready to move to Vegas!!! Can’t wait!

[@chiendinh-je2xi]

Good choice, love Las Vegas

[@GreenWitch1]

Some of that food looked amazing! Im hungry now 😋

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

I live in Vegas and didn’t know of these places. Thank you!

[@zukione]

Yes!!! Eat off the strip if you can..We make it a habit of doing our research before heading to Vegas and make a list of places to eat off the strip.

[@MI-tj1dv]

gareth you are a wonderful host.. i like that you are so friendly & upbeat. the way you describe everything that you eat makes it crystal clear that you are a true-blue food lover. i love your descriptions and feel like i'm eating right alongside you!! keep it up and can't wait for more of your videos

[@Bmwqxtmop]

Another banger!!

[@jerryevans6733]

Awesome episode. Defo going to hit all the spots. Love the genuine reactions, and interactions! Hidden gems are the way forward.

[@clayhong3617]

Glad to see you back. Watched and loved your travel vids.

[@GarethEats]

I appreciate you. 👊

[@ericueno4908]

Gareth!!! So great to see you! I haven’t seen your vids since you were ill. So great to see join! Thanks for another great vid!

[@user-ej8oq8bv1c]

I live a block away from our China town area, so many amazing different fun food cultures to try all within a few blocks only. Its the best!

[@melissareed4711]

Stumbled upon your channel. I like your reviews and honesty about the foods you’re trying.

[@GarethEats]

Thank you very much, Melissa. 🙏

[@rosalindaperez9840]

Pinkbox is awesome donut shop in the plaza hotel.

[@Isaiahslifeexperience]

I love you’re videos I subscribed and been watching for a few months now 😊

[@laurenb4621]

I’m from Vegas and completely agree on Viva Las Arepas! Add McMullans Irish Pub and Irish nachos for gem #6 but thanks for the new spot suggestions! 🍩 ❤

[@felmarmationg1102]

Gareth eats is a great channel

[@GarethEats]

Thank you 🙏

[@kurtschneider7211]

Great episode Gareth! I'm headed to Vegas soon so this was a fantastic watch!

[@WtrRbt64]

Those Donuts 🍩 look Amazing!!! 😋🥓🍳

[@jayw3688]

I can personally vouch for poke express as a part Hawaiian living in las vegas lmao. They have the most fresh poke in town and it's not even close. They also have this salted slighty dried beef called Pipikaula. If you have never had it, go to a poke spot and get it. I promise it will change your life it is sooooo good.

[@charnguyen22]

Love Poke Express and Katsuya Ton Ton!! Sooo good. ❤

[@GarethEats]

These will be my go-to spots when I'm in LV from now on!!

[@ksuen106]

You’re welcome. #1 1:03 Duck Donuts $4.75/donut. #2 2:50 Vivas Las Arepas $7.50-$10.50/arepa +$ extras, Empanadas $4.50 +$ extras #3 6:49 Poke Express (3 locations in Vegas) $17.49-$24.95/lb (from 1/4lb to 2lbs container) #4 Ton Ton Katsu 11:14 ($17-$30 entre sets, 4-$14 appetizers) #5 13:55 Paina Cafe (2 locations in Vegas) pastries $2.30-$5.00, poke bowls $11-$13.45, poke/lb $21-$28.

[@GarethEats]

Thanks for the assist! 👊

[@ksuen106]

Ha 12:40 the katsu place a coworker showed me Tozen Naritaten by NRT airport (now permanently closed) does the same sesame seed & sauce, unlimited cabbage. Now I have to check this place out because my local katsu place is doesn’t even match the same quality.

[@jasonmaass49]

Love the video.Definitely hitting Viva Las Arepas next time. I’d suggest trying Carson Kitchen next time you visit Vegas.

[@littlesiddha]

Love the dramatic exit. lol

[@diuneimaaaaaa]

We need to take Gareth to the moon. Great commentary and reactions. Rinse and repeat and you’ll be mark weins status in no time!

[@Traders_Paradigm]

Will keep these in mind when I am in vegas in a few weeks. Thank you!

[@hawneyz]

Poke Express is the best!! My favorite is the furikake poke.

[@whiv]

that looks delicious!! 🤤

[@GarethEats]

The arepa was next level!!

[@KF0921]

I love mochi donuts but for a regular donut, check out Dee’s Donuts in Centennial Hills. The best!

[@jicalzad]

appreciate the honesty about the donuts in the video. I think i would like these donuts, but like you, i'm a sucker for the more traditional-style donuts. I've been to Pinkbox donuts in Vegas, and i'm certain i would like their options better than the ones in this video. Also, another Pro Vegas tip. There's a donut shop, a bit northwest of the strip on Decatur, but not that far, called Dulce Donuts. They're among the best traditional-style donuts i've ever had. No fancy flavors or anything like that, but just among the best regular glaze, chocolate, apple fritter, coconut, sour cream, etc. donuts. When you walk in, and look at their offerings, the donuts even look like just average donuts from grocery store, but they taste amazing. Only negative would be that i'm not certain i would go for donuts here too late in the evening or after-hours as the neighborhood seems like it could get sketchy. I think they are open 24-hours

[@jennygriffin8833]

Mazzoa donuts on Blue Diamond. SO GOOD!!!!!

[@GarethEats]

Adding this to my list - Thank you!!

[@sandraromero5899]

Try Hashi Noodle in Chinatown if you want an awesome healthy flavor bomb! They make their own noodles and chicken broth and as you order, make sure you add the black garlic oil! So delicious and very affordable hole in the wall. Plus you can sit at the counter and watch them put your food together. You'll never wait more than 2 minutes to get your fresh food too😊

[@GarethEats]

Thank you so much for the recommendation, I'm adding this to my list for next time!! 🙏

[@johnpaulgomez5781]

I’ve been to the arepas place twice and both times it was amazing !

[@hobiswifey3800]

im watching this videowhile eating lechon kawali with mang tomas and steamed rice....watching the arepas and damn i want some of that....willdefinitely try that 😊😊😊

[@withthetrans]

Going to Vegas next week, and my husband is a huge veggie fan LOL, so excited to check out the katsu place so i can enjoy the katsu and he can enjoy the unlimited cabbage 😂😂

[@mikefreeman9251]

That place you got the mochi donuts use to be a sushi bar called sushi on rainbow it was where I was first introduced to sushi. Kinda makes me sad seeing the inside not as I remember. Luckily vegas has tons of other good sushi spots sakana sushi is an amazing spot

[@jessicavanmeter7379]

Try Ronald's Donuts in Spring Valley. Old fashioned donuts, vegan donuts, special large donuts, every kind of donut you can want and some you never knew you did. They also have breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and a lovely old school dining area. Good prices. It's my favorite place.

[@dimplesp4046]

great vid, please include the prices for us broke girlz 🙃

[@AlokSomani]

I know a handful of top tier restaurants to try if you’re interested in exploring more in Vegas! Mostly local spots on the west end, but a couple nice restaurants on the strip too.

[@jenniferhargraves6620]

Gareth, love your vids and your channel. So glad you are feeling better. Try Carls donuts in Vegas.

[@jasmali8531]

I’ve heard about the Venezuelan place before thanks! Now have to try it ❣️

[@cstarrvegas]

Best donut spot in Vegas is Wicked Donuts on W Lake Mead.

[@GarethEats]

Noted. Thank you 👊

[@VEGAS-NERVE]

That kid screaming in the Arepa place would have been my last straw.

[@brianhammond2832]

Fun video, good job!

[@GarethEats]

Thanks, Brian! 🍻

[@ricardodominguez9265]

Hey I’m with you on the donuts. Just give me a good regular fresh donut!! 😂

[@GarethEats]

Preach. 🙌

[@2labmom]

I wish I would have seen your video before I went to Vegas. 😔 Those places looked amazing.

[@fabpyolouslife4030]

I’m a vegas local, everything is my go to place except the first one which i haven’t gone.

[@GarethEats]

Fair enough, that's one I would skip as a local as well.

[@scarletowl8337]

My hubby loves arepas ❤so thanks for that rec! Looks delicious!

[@mymilktea]

Ronalds donuts on spring mountain! Their vegan donuts will also rock your socks off!

[@lawrenceakini4981]

Awesome. Thanks. Yummy for my tummy. Cheers.

[@julianvigil5276]

Haven't been to these places but I go to Vegas a lot and ever since 2017 trips I go off strip to eat

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Great how you interviewed the Venezuelans, great insight

[@AnthonyBeltran-f8t]

Another good video! Thanks! You might also try Los Molcajetes on N Eastern in Vegas. Get yourself a molcajete, and a michelada.

[@greggismyname]

Nice! 😛😛 I live here in Vegas... I need to get out more! Thanks!

[@Dabbster2000]

4:06 that girl with the black top, blue shorts and huge tatas 🫠🤤🤤

[@GarethEats]

Impressive attention to detail 👏😂

[@BennLuvsYou24]

Food looks exciting and delicious!

[@Colorado_Cricket5280]

In a FA and I save your recommendations to my yelp! Thanks for posting your faves!

[@e-walls4565]

Please do a review on Purple Potato Bakery in Las Vegas. They serve their own kind of specialty donuts. 🍩💜

[@stargazer5073]

Gareth, yikes we live Mochi!!!!! Our dogs name is MOCHIE

[@calgaryan]

Mazzoa's Donuts are some of the best non-mochi donuts in town! Def worth a try next time you're in!

[@StonerCreek74]

This guy and Steve Hamilton from " The Hamilton Collection" here must be twins.

[@bballerforever]

Awesome video. I gotta try the Arepas next time. I’ve been to that tonkatsu place - it’s good but not great when compared w Tamafuji Tonkatsu in Honolulu. You missed Tacos El Gordo - several locations and they serve more than tacos and your choice of meat(no pollo).

[@GarethEats]

Yes, I highly recommend the arepa joint, honestly so good! For this episode, I didn't want to feature any taco spots - and Tacos El Gordo is definitely not a hidden gem 😂 but it is a gem!

[@palomahealing5073]

In this video..I can definitely see how much Vegas constantly takes from Miami🏝 my hometown?😳😳😳 Turnberry Place Condos, are taken from the Turnberry Isle Highrise Condos in Sunny Isles, and on & on & on! And now their latest, The Fontainbleau!🙂

[@LaLa-ee1jz]

Ok...

[@binwin2582]

Federal Donuts and Chicken inside the Red Rock Casino. They have cake batter donuts. Best I’ve had for donuts

[@MMCSF]

I'm going to Vegas for two weeks next week and I've added all of these to my very long list of places I want to eat at.

[@TheATHLETE420]

Also add Big Dans. They have the best noodles in town. It's inside a supermarket but it's much better imo than places like Shang artisan noodle or magic noodle

[@nampchewman]

@@TheATHLETE420don’t you dare disrespect magic… the Szechuan brisket is magical

[@nampchewman]

@@TheATHLETE420BUT I’ll give dans a try

[@jenniemoi1020]

Gareth , if you love donuts, try the “donuts/cronuts” at the Serrano Cafe within the Palms Casino (satisfies your off the Strip criteria )! Forget about the cronuts from Dominque Ansel, original Cronuts Inventor NYC, located within Caesar Palace! Go early, Serrano donuts tends to run out quickly! Let me what you think?! Cheers 🥰

[@tif2much]

Ton ton is my favorite. Don’t tell anyone else. 🤣

[@madpanthers53]

Duck Doughnuts are from North Carolina so (un)fortunately I do take the recipe home with me haha

[@m.aurelius271]

Hello Gareth, Try Ronald's Donuts located at 4600 Spring Mountain Rd Las Vegas, NV 89102 Chinatown

[@timbrawdy2249]

Black bear diner calls my name every year I’m not in Vegas..

[@jenniferleigh9363]

You should come up and and do a video in the Pacific Northwest❤

[@TheATHLETE420]

You gotta try Big Dan's next time. It's the biggest hidden gem in Vegas and my favorite restaurant. Best noodles in town! Btw my profile pic is from poke express lol

[@davidgrybb8547]

Whooooooooooooaaaa love it ❤❤!!! I live in henderson love it..

[@shigemorif1066]

Now I want tonkatsu so bad!

[@yoandreee]

you should do a food review at a music festival like EDC Las Vegas or Coachella

[@ReginaTee702]

OMG the street hotdogs are the best after EDC ♥♥♥

[@highnesscrypto8031]

if you love doughnuts, you should try friendly’s doughnut in Henderson, NV

[@Isaiahslifeexperience]

Gareth yay 🥰

[@JmSpecht]

Please include prices 😊

[@maida2410]

Try pinkbox donuts near the strip

[@phoenixfirespices2419]

Pinkbox donuts Wicked donuts 85 degrees Bakery Sweet Poke (I think chain, not sure) El Gordos el pastor and cabeza Sushi Bomb ( ayce sushi) ask for Kenan Egg works Windy city Goong Korean BBQ ( get the set menu not AYCE) LV Scoops (halo halo) spelling might be wrong and ice cream macaron Kim Long Pho Weera Thai Shanghai Taste District one Sora Ramen Monta Ramen Kabuto Omekase Zabas ( just like Chipotle but better) downtown Summerlin

[@streetfoodnetworkpk]

Very Nice Superb Video

[@Scarecrow367]

You could spend weeks just going to the amazing food trucks all over Vegas.
