8 EAST - Asian Fusion at Circa Downtown Las Vegas

[@VegaswithShin]

What's your favorite Asian restaurant in Las Vegas?

[@MH_6160]

8oz… undefeated for me, close second is 888 Japanese BBQ.

[@trixiehover1826]

Shang Artisan noodle 😋

[@larrybudsock6507]

Ping Pang Pong. If it's not in a casino, then China Mama.

[@larrybudsock6507]

​@@MH_6160Never heard of 8oz. Where is it?

[@dmotta2811]

I’ve never been to one but when I do, it will definitely be this one.

[@MH_6160]

"Everything is a buffet if you are willing to pay"…. best tag line when it comes to food reviewing on the internet!

[@dmotta2811]

I have to watch now because I’m starting to order more now and the bill is coming out to a lot.

[@Eatpinktacos27]

Should definitely make a shirt with that line

[@VegaswithShin]

Lol! Thank you! I like my catch phrase quite a bit as well! Thanks for watching!

[@ashleybreckheimer1387]

​, Def make the shirts. We will buy ❤

[@Christine_1075]

Trademark It Shin Happy Sunday 😊

[@brenharwood7736]

We love 8 East! Circa serves the brisket fried rice in their high limit room. We may or may not have gambled in there just for the free brisket fried rice. 😂

[@luciad5988]

Ha ha! I would too!

[@VegaswithShin]

That sounds like a fantastic plan! I'd love to get this fried rice anywhere. Thanks for watching!

[@anthonyandteresacroteau7704]

Their presentations deserve an A+. Comfort food came to mind as we watched. Another fabulous find. Your efforts are awesome and always appreciated!

[@dmotta2811]

Everything looked beautiful

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Excellent presentation and good tasting food! Appreciate you! Thanks for watching!

[@dmotta2811]

Looks like a beautiful place. I would like to try the Thai beef jerky, green beans, the dumplings and the sizzling shrimp dish. They all looked so good. The dessert looked amazing. I love your face when you try something really good. It’s so cute.

[@VegaswithShin]

Very cool looking restaurant and we liked the food. Lol, my face can't lie. Thanks for watching D!

[@s.jensen1492]

Thanks Shin!

[@VegaswithShin]

You got it! Thanks for watching!

[@jtr711]

My wife and I just discovered your channel and absolutely love it. Thank you for showing the whole menu (we pause every time lol) and the receipt afterwards. We enjoy your inside restaurant shots between courses. We love that you do different types of restaurants, Fine dining, lunches, and buffets not just one type like other vegas food vloggers. We appreciate your honesty with each dish and I think what sets you different than other vloggers like bill & lisa and J&R food travels is the “everything is a buffet if you’re willing to pay” we appreciate you spending the money to get several appetizers and several entrees and always a dessert. We just added stanton prime, mabels bbq, and sickies to our list because of your videos. Keep it up!

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the channel! I'm looking to try all the food Vegas has to offer so I'm happy to have you along! Stanton Social, Mabel's and Sickies are really great choices! I hope you have a great visit when you come. Thanks for watching!

[@karenglaicar5486]

Nice looking place. The food looked delicious. Adding this place to my Vegas list. Nice video. Thanks again.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! It's worth visiting. Thanks Karen!

[@kylemerritt1545]

Good job Shin ! Thanks again for another great video !

[@VegaswithShin]

Happy you enjoyed Kyle, thanks for watching!

[@ras124]

Excellent review

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@Grazie76gw]

Shin you crack me up 😂 chicken went on a diet! Great review!

[@VegaswithShin]

Lmao! They were such scrawny wings! Thanks for watching!

[@raye5071]

Great review !

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@grmmyantju8369]

I love these downtown vlogs you are doing. Thank you

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you like them! I'm having a lot of fun discovering these restaurants as well! Thanks for watching!

[@ChappysTikiBar]

Love this place ❤

[@VegaswithShin]

It's so good! Really great flavors. Thanks for watching!

[@panjo]

Very nice Asian place

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! We like it here! Thanks panjo!

[@ExploreVegas]

Oh man both dumplings and the brisket fried rice looked delicious. Also the Thai beef Jerky looked fabulous! I eat that a lot because I frequently take my wife out for Thai food. Great video as always!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! We were really happy eating here. I'm sure you're well versed in Asian cuisine from the wife. Thanks brother!

[@joegideon8461]

I miss Bachi Burger! I used to love the Bahn Mi Burger and their pork belly steamed buns.

[@VegaswithShin]

That sounds so good! Never had a chance to try it myself. Thanks for watching!

[@austinjohnson2797]

The Thai beef jerkey is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Love 8 East!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! It's so good! Thanks for watching!

[@jesusisfaithful7]

ALL THE FOOD LOOKS GOOD AND THAT DESSERT OF WOW😋😋😋. SHIN, YOU MAKE ME LAUGH WHEN YOU MAKE THAT FACE OVER THE YUMMY TASTE😂😂😂🤣. THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER EXCITING TO WATCH VIDEO. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE JOB 👍🏼😁

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you Tracey! Really liked this one!

[@jadehom8067]

Hi Shin and sis 🤗...the mapo tofu didn't eben look right, the string beans and pork looked yummy...just needed me some rice 😂...all the food looked too pretty to eat...when you tried the wings and said it must of been on a diet ( I cracked up )...glad you both enjoyed your meal...have a great weekend and week ahead 😘🤗❤

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, the mapo tofu was unfortunate because I love the dish and it just wasn't what I wanted. But otherwise the dishes were in general very good! We liked eating here. Thanks for watching Jade!

[@alec6521]

I mean, it wasn't even close! Which is such a shame, because the real dish is fantastic and is one of MANY real Chinese dishes that would absolutely slay in America if offered widely! Nice videos by the way, thanks for your efforts.@@VegaswithShin

[@keithss67]

Great clip. Seems a bit pricey, but it looks delicious

[@VegaswithShin]

A little pricey, especially for downtown but the food was very tasty. Thanks for watching!

[@jarnettearnette7600]

Their green beans were incredible with a very good spice on it.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! They were very good and the pork was perfect on it. Thanks for watching!

[@laurelhansen4514]

Enjoyed their happy hour. Glad to see your visit video!

[@VegaswithShin]

I'm have to check out their happy hour sometime. Thanks for watching!

[@patpassi2730]

Great review…as usual 😊

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you very much!

[@Becky-t2v]

Another great food adventure with so many different exciting and interesting dishes. Great review, you say it so well and love your expressions.

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you enjoyed! We definitely liked this one. Thanks for watching!

[@larry2513]

Brisket fried rice…… first time I heard brisket in fried rice. Nice.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! I haven't had this kind of recipe either but it was delicious! I really liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@mochie2119]

Hi Shin not sure if you been, but I highly recommend Jackson's Bat n Grill for their 1lb ribeye special for $20

[@VegaswithShin]

I actually ate their semi-recently and I agree, it's a crazy good deal. I have plans for a local eats video in Q1 of 2024 and it will likely involve Jackson's. Thanks for watching!

[@YouUsAndAI]

This on my list bc I want to try the beef jerky...LOOKS DELISH!!!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! It was so good! Worth trying. Thanks GL!

[@whsiao]

Those green beans look perfect and I definitely would love to try some of that fried rice, thanks for the video!

[@VegaswithShin]

They were both very good! Thanks for watching!

[@greenQT]

All looked so yummy. tks Shin. Karla in Cali.

[@VegaswithShin]

We really liked this one! Thanks for watching Karla!

[@scottjarvis8349]

Nice selection of food, they do have a happy hour for food daily as well. Try the Buddha beer next time with meal, goes great with their food. Also the green tea tiramasu is outstanding

[@VegaswithShin]

Ooh nice! Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try it out. Thanks for watching!

[@mafatone]

Another good video. Keep going & keep growing Shinster

[@VegaswithShin]

Thanks mafatone! My man!

[@kylemerritt1545]

Hi Shin ! Thanks for another great video ! I think Tony Luks would be my go to every time ! Provolone how ever spelled I’d do that every time ! Couldn’t wait for this to come out ! Thanks again love your stuff !

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you Kyle! Yeah, the cheesesteaks were very good and I'm happy they're as good as they are. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

[@benbiery4366]

Your reviews are excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@VegaswithShin]

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching!

[@nealxl6256]

I would go with the brisket fried rice 🍚. Looks good!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! It's very good! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@lisaj5835]

I dream of that beef jerky, it's great!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! it's so good! Thanks for watching!

[@Variety1985]

That HONEY 🍯 TOAST looked good ... BUT $16.50 (with the ICE CREAM) 😮

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, that one is pretty pricey but man, it was so good lol. Thanks for watching!

[@KiKiD9554]

8 East is at the top of my list to try on Fremont Street

[@VegaswithShin]

It's deserving of a top spot. I really liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@letusmarketyou]

looks yummy

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! We enjoyed our meal. Good one here! Thanks for watching!

[@jarnettearnette7600]

Loved the green beans and pork. Lips were numb after I finished 😅. But I would go back 🎉and have them again!😢

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@sppl]

Yeah that Mabo tofu, also one of my absolute favorites, wasn't looking right from the start. I think the one at Noodle Den was one of the best I've had (definitely the softest), plus I'm curious about the one at China Mamma, based on its visuals alone. Thanks for the vid!

[@VegaswithShin]

The one at China Mama is EXCELLENT! I'll have to give it a try at Noodle Den. Thanks for watching!

[@sonicjerry]

The food looks good. Seeing a steamed egg on the menu is something i would get. Definitely got to try their fried rice

[@VegaswithShin]

It's worth trying truly! Thanks for watching Jerry!

[@laurabarnett3703]

Looks delicious overall ❤

[@VegaswithShin]

It was! Very tasty, we enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching!

[@Topshelfminds]

Everything you had was amazing but you missed another one of there gems is the baby lamb chops ! I get that with the brisket fried rice & it’s over 🔐🔥

[@VegaswithShin]

Oh! I will have to try them the next time I'm around. Thanks for watching!

[@iheggis86]

What was that green sauce with the chicken yakitori? My mouth was salivating with all the small plates 🤤

[@VegaswithShin]

It was a spicy green chili sauce. This place was very tasty. Worth checking out. Thanks for watching!

[@g-bgcg]

I think there are chicken shortages coming on the horizon again as even Sams’ club had no rotisserie chickens for the past few days. Bacon shot up to double the price in the past week or so. That dessert does look like it would be incredible. Thanks Shin for the video.

[@VegaswithShin]

Damn. That sucks to hear. Everything is just getting more and more expensive. The honey toast was truly amazing. So good. Thanks for watching!

[@luciad5988]

They have lamb lollipops! I love lamb, but I realize everyone doesn’t. A nice varied menu.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fan but I can certainly enjoy it. Thanks for watching Lucia!

[@keithmasumoto9698]

That mapo tofu looked so promising, but yeah, glad you're clocking them for the wrong flavor profile. I'm also a devotee of that dish and the best ones I've found are very oily, not gravy-like. Thank you!

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Honestly for a savory garlicky pork tofu dish, it was okay. But when I order mapo tofu, I have something very specific in mind and I don't need too many liberties taken on it lol. Thanks for watching Keith!

[@jmbear628]

chicken skins is a keto diet dish. interesting to see on menu. what was the wrapper for the duck rolls?

[@VegaswithShin]

It was interesting. It was a wheat/rice wrapping I believe. Thanks for watching!

[@jadehom8067]

Yqw, my pleasure Shin

[@VegaswithShin]

😃

[@byz513]

Yes yes yes. We've gone twice.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! It's definitely worth repeating! Really enjoyed ourselves here. Thanks for watching!

[@richardmanassero1601]

You have to use the dipping sauces they give you or hot mustard, sambal might make some of the not so tasty dishes taste better

[@VegaswithShin]

It did help but I'm a staunch believer that dipping sauces enhance, not make the dish. If I couldn't eat a hot wing without ranch or a mozzarella stick without marinara, I would be disappointed with the base product. Thanks for watching!

[@vickieboyd3507]

🤠

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you for watching Vickie!

[@luciad5988]

Shin I feel like a dumb dumb, but would you do a video on how to use chopsticks?

[@VegaswithShin]

Hmm, I'll see if I can make one that's informative and better than the stuff already on KZbin. Thanks Lucia!

[@lamourdujourr]

i've tried pretty much everything on the menu, only thing that disappointed me was the steak

[@VegaswithShin]

Ah, that's unfortunate. I was wondering about that. I generally do like 8 East like you though. Thanks for watching!

[@vegasonfilm6303]

Shin is downtown 🎉

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes I am and the downtown exploration continues for a few more weeks! Thanks for watching!

[@algernon5776]

Don't Have one yet!

[@VegaswithShin]

You will! Thanks for watching!

[@HateDietPepsi]

Don't really like fusion restaurants because they often seem to call dishes something they ain't. And when you call them on it they claim it's fusion and it's their interpretation of the dish.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, I'm 50/50 with fusion restaurants as well. Overall good here though. Thanks for watching!

[@Mickcotton]

Never going there 😢 I’m off to Panda Express Excellent Food at 1/3rd The Price $

[@VegaswithShin]

I love Panda Express! I eat there all the time. Thanks for watching!

[@independencestnola]

Thanks Shin!

[@VegaswithShin]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
