LAS VEGAS - BEST FRIEND
We’ve made it and I’m gonna say right out of the gate that this was the best meal of the trip.
LOCATION: PARK MGM
3770 S LAS VEGAS BLVD., LAS VEGAS, NV 89109
The meal started off a little rocky because, while we did have a reservation, it only accounts for a table in the back of the restaurant with a very dark/moody/quiet aesthetic and one of my cousins was dead set on us eating in the front dining area. Of course, the front area is more of a ‘first come, first served’ situation so we did in fact, wait for a table to open. I’m pretty sure the menu is the same but if we’re here for the vibes then I’m along for the ride.
It took about 30mins for us to get a (small) table in the front room but a win is a win and there was a menu board posted outside the restaurant so we got to pre-plan what we wanted to order while we waited.
Of course, we ordered wayyyy too much food for four people but if we’re only going to be here once in forever, we’re going all in. This menu was totally our tastes too so it was impossible to narrow down and our little dinky table ended up being a little tower of food.
We ordered Kogi Short Rib Tacos (with Korean BBQ, salsa roja, and a cilantro-onion-lime chili soy slaw), Street Corn (of course - with lime juice, tajin, cotija, and cilantro), Buttermilk Fried Chicken (with a side of honey mustard, sweet and sour chili, and b&b pickles), the BBQ Platter (with garlic chicken, spicy pork, AND kalbi trio), Kimchi Fried Rice (not my vibe but it comes with caramelized kimchi and a poached egg), and the Birria Ramen (with braised beef, onion, and cilantro).
Clearly, too much food. We were so stuffed and had to take a bunch to go but it was so good getting to try so many dishes. I did opt out of the Kimchi Fried Rice because that’s just not my thing but everything else was so good. Would 1000% recommend to anyone spending time in Vegans and would totally go back to order any of these dishes or try new ones.
