This was one of those times where I thought the restaurant prioritized style over food taste. Overall, the food was pretty good. We got the Banchan Sampler, the BBQ Platter, a taco entree, and a carbonara entree. The meat was great, though the chicken really overshadowed the ribs and spicy pork in terms of flavor. The tacos were great and might have been my favorite part of the whole ensemble. The carbonara dish was a bit disappointing, and the flavor was a bit lacking. The Banchan Sampler was composed of six things - melons drizzled in sauce, broccoli, bean sprouts, pickles drizzled in sauce, and two kimchi bowls. Overall, I think the place was pretty good, but this is probably the first restaurant I've visited in Vegas that I didn't finish my food.

Yesterday was my first experience at Best Friend and this restaurant has now become my best friend! The food was fresh and packed with flavor lacking nothing! I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice that was some of the best fried rice I’ve had , and it also had a slight spice to it adding on to the flavor. The dessert was very flavorful and consisted of many different inviting flavors on one plate. The customer service was great as well. Our waitress checked in throughout our dinner and ensured we had everything we needed and more.

We ate in the bar area. Both bartenders functioned as our waiters, and both were great. Really friendly, and it was low pressure. (i hate when waiters or 'tenders keep pushing drinks on the customer; not an issue here)

The spicy pork was excellent. Yum, still thinking about it a few days later.
The ribs were....fine?  Really, really meaty and plenty of food, there was just nothing too unique about them to me.
The tacos were really good as well. Nice tender meat with a great flavor.

I found it odd that we just got platters of meat. I expected it to come w/ rice or some of the normal korean bbq accoutrement, but i guess you have to order those separately.  Not a big deal, just surprising.

I would definitely go here again.

Best Friend by Roy Choi is such a fun spot! The Buttermilk Fried Chicken was hands down the star--crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. If you're into fried chicken, you have to try it!
We also ordered the Kimchi Carbonara. This dish was a bit salty, and the noodles were weird and very undercooked.
I need to come back and try other dishes.

Was so excited to go here after watching the Chef Show. The decorations and set up was wonderful. The kimchi fried rice was delicious, perfectly seasoned. Probably the best Kimchi fried rice I’ve ever had. But the slippery shrimp and garlic chicken were not as banging in flavour. The meat was cooked to perfection but they did not wow me completely.

For drinks we had the semi sweet cider and the old friend. Both drinks were great.

The gave us complimentary bread for the table to start off with. It was warm, soft and had a wonderful buttery sea salt flavour.
