Best Friend: Our New Las Vegas Favorite?

We have been wanting to try Best Friend in Las Vegas and we finally did! This Korean-Mexican fusion spot is a culinary experience that is a must try if you like flavor! Chef Roy Choi is known for his "not so fancy" food, but food doesn't need to be fancy to be DELICIOUS! Check out the video to see what the fuss is all about!

The production value here is outstanding. Like I could grab that food from my screen. Thanks, you two.

[@UpUpOurWay]

You must be hungry Jon! This chico gotta eat! 😂 Thanks Jon

[@vegastocali]

I really wanna try this spot. Thanks for sharingWe really enjoyed our stay at Park MGM

[@UpUpOurWay]

Park is a cute hotel and not too big, not too small. Have a great weekend!

[@whimsicalhamster88]

I almost always stay at Park MGM because it’s pretty cheap, non-smoking, not huge and all of the restaurants are amazing. I always just sit at the bar at Best Friend because getting reservations is nearly impossible. It’s truly amazing. Glad you loved it!

[@UpUpOurWay]

We love Park MGM. We did get married there in 96 when it was Monte Carlo, so it will always be special. But we really like the size, the food options, and decent location!

Ohh La La is right . So glad that you made it to Best Friend restaurant . I’m so fortunate to be able to go to Chef Roy Choi “KOGI BBQ Truck” on Friday nights in my area. It’s 10 mins away from where I live . I’m hooked on the short rib tacos , burritos, and the KOGI dog .The watermelon cocktail looked yummy. I agree with Enrique on the Corona.The dessert though. OMG ! The candle was a nice touch to the table .I did watch this video twice . Your enthusiasm was contagious. Amazing foodie review

[@UpUpOurWay]

You’re so lucky to have Kogi nearby! That would be dangerous for me! 🤣😂

[@Mr_Chris77]

Forget the food! Did you see the guy loosen up a wedgie at 7:45? 😂

[@UpUpOurWay]

OMG neither of us saw that during the edit! 😂 Good eye!!!

[@jeff15116]

I was just there last week and the food is amazing! We had ordered a lot of the same items you did and they were all fantastic.

[@JNO_VLOGS]

Great vid guys! I have a hat from there. Cheers

[@UpUpOurWay]

Nice! I need my merch now!

[@AmberFromVancouver]

Yesss!! I need to find some peeps to take next time so we can share more dishes. $65 is a great price for the variety you got. I can't handle much spice tho so I'd need a bowl of raw cucumbers or something next time 🤣 and the cocktails!! So good!

[@UpUpOurWay]

There was definitely spice in almost everything we ate (except the meat). But I’m sure there are options. You definitely need to go here! A must try.

[@easyedawg9160]

Thanks for the spot on review. I tried the Chef's menu first time at Best Friend. Been back twice now and will return again. Cheers

[@UpUpOurWay]

What else have you tried that was good? I want to go back!

[@easyedawg9160]

@@UpUpOurWay Enjoying your channel ty. Lumpia dumplings, Korean wings, buttermilk fried chicken and street corn is all good sh*t, but the Lamb lollipops were the star of the meal. Tasty af. I'll probably go back to try the cowboy chop and whole fish next week. Staying at Vdara 4 nights. Peace

[@UpUpOurWay]

@@easyedawg9160 ooh you mean business with that cowboy chop! Enjoy your trip. We love Vdara!!!

Thanks! For the Review

[@UpUpOurWay]

Thank you for the super thanks and for all your support!

[@rayek13]

I love that place. The orange creamsicle drink is the best

[@UpUpOurWay]

we have been to vegas ~150 times and this was our first time eating at Best Friend, sooo good!

[@rayek13]

I've gone twice. It's the first restaurant that the server asked me before anything if I had food allergies.

[@gmajoanne5692]

All looks very good! Hope you’re having a great evening!

[@UpUpOurWay]

Same to you! thanks for watching 😀

[@gmajoanne5692]

Congratulations on reaching 14K. Awesome! 👍

[@UpUpOurWay]

after 150 La Vegas visits we finally ate there and we were not disappointed! We hope all is well with you Dewder 😀

[@savagenation236]

I Can Tell How Much You Enjoyed This Food, Especially When We Were Talking About It After The Livestream, Can't Wait Until Next Time We Catch Up😄, I Sent Some Photos Of The Visit Bye The Way

Holy Sheet! "L.A. SH*T and VEGASSH*T! 🤣 You review looked yummy!

[@UpUpOurWay]

Food was so yummy! And despite the menu, it was not sh*t 🤣😂

[@niecyl]

Oh Wow! Hi! I was sitting next to you and your husband (you probably don't remember) at the Bar! You were not filming at the time. You are the sweetest person! I didn't know you were a Content Creator I ordered the Slippery Shrimp and the Fried Rice! I loved the Fried Rice (I don't like Kimchi either, but I loved that dish)! The Shrimp was okay, but I wasn't wowed by it.

[@UpUpOurWay]

What a small world it is! Yeah, that rice was delicious! I did like the shrimp, but liked how we got to sort of sample many dishes. I think that shrimp would be too rich for a main dish. Hope your trip was good!

[@niecyl]

@@UpUpOurWay Yes! Vegas is always so fun! The food is delicious too! It's one of the reasons I keep coming back!

[@tomm2330]

Great video food looks amazing

[@UpUpOurWay]

It was delicious Tom!!!

[@luisvillanueva35]

Hi! Thanks for all the great videos. Awesome job. Please help me decide between staying at Park MGM ( suite) or Aria ( standard room with possible upgrade and credit). Any thoughts? Gracias and Hi from Mexico

[@UpUpOurWay]

Hola Luis! I think your choice depends on your style. Aria is very large and modern. It feels luxurious. Park MGM has an older style and is smaller, but easy to find your way around. They are neighbors and connected by an interior walkway so it's pretty easy to get from one to the other, so if you don't like your choice, you can visit the other haha! We like both for different reasons, but we go to Vegas a lot. Be sure to watch our videos on each one and really just choose your style!

[@luisvillanueva35]

@@UpUpOurWay Appreciate your prompt response!! I think I'll stay in the more calm ambience one and party elsewhere. Gracias!!!

[@MH_6160]

I have been here 3 times.. the last two the food seemed to be off, I was a little disappointed. But the vibe of the spot is amazing.

[@UpUpOurWay]

Oh no, that’s too bad. We loved everything we ordered. I would be really sad to go back and it not be good. 😭

[@JoshandBabe]

We are going to Best Friend next week 🎉

[@UpUpOurWay]

Nice! Let us know what you think!

[@jim6070]

The bread looks suspiciously like King’s Hawaiian Rolls. Hmmmm, I just might have run a test of the rolls next time I am in town.

[@UpUpOurWay]

😂😂 Please dont go just for the bread! the food is tasty👍

[@euphoria1249]

beautiful ❤️

Thanks Euphoria!

[@vodkafall]

During Friday's livestream Enrique spilled the frijoles about the restaurant featured in this video!

[@UpUpOurWay]

He sure did! 😂🤣

[@santapaws8036]

Food looked great, but I don't eat at restaurants where I need a mortgage to pay for the food!

[@UpUpOurWay]

I hear you, but except for a handful of options, all of Las Vegas is expensive ☹

[@justG0Twicked]

How does she not know that there is butter on top of her bread??😀

[@Matthewliar22]

Melissas in love with that cheesecake thanks again melissa and Enrique. Where is best friend?

[@UpUpOurWay]

[@UpUpOurWay]

We like oyster bar! we would go to the one at Harrah's, but they turned that into a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. We will add it to our to do list!
