Momofuku Las Vegas

I highly recommend the omakase, or chef's choice. The waiters are very adept at finding a collection of food within your price point. One of our party was a vegetarian, and the dishes were delicious, mixed between carnivore and vegetarian, so that nobody felt left out. The food was of course delicious!

I was soooo excited to try this place out! Made the reservation in advance off their website. Mags was our server for the evening and probably was the cherry on top for our dining experience! He made great honest recs for our table and was attentive and he was entertaining (he was live singing to some of the songs playing in the restaurant)! Drinks: Calamansi Collins, and Carajillo. Calamansi Collins was tart - best described as tasting more like grapefruit than lemon. It was good though! Carajillo- they were out of liquor 43 so they went and got some to make the drink! It was so good, I had 2! Hokkaido Scallop Crudo-a little fishy but the sauce was citrusy and good. Cauliflower- hands down the best cauliflower I’ve had in my life! The pineapple vinaigrette was so tasty and the crispy rice added nice texture to the dish. Shishito peppers- salty/citrusy perfection! Peppers were not spicy at all in our dish. Shrimp Buns- tasty but not as good as the pork belly buns. Was glad we tried the shrimp buns first. Probably wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much if eaten in the reverse order. Pork Belly Buns- probably the best dish we had. It was so good - the pork melts in your mouth. Amazing how it was nice and crispy on the outside and juicy (not dry) on the inside. Ginger Scallion Noodle- if you love Hainan chicken with ginger scallion- you will love this dish. Basically the same thing with noodles. 10 oz Wagyu Steak- had it cooked medium rare but it was a little more rare that I like. Other members of my party didn’t mind it. Egg yolk is mixed and used to dip the meat. It was good but was over shadowed by the pork. Ordered dessert and unfortunately they were out of it (honestly don’t even remember what we ordered originally). So Mags hooked us up with a free dessert- cereal milk soft serve and a side of crack pie from Milk! Crack pie was so good!! And the cornflakes even sitting next to the soft serve were so crunchy and sweet. Perfect ending to our first experience here! Large format items can be ordered in advanced when making your reservation but we opted to try the other items this time around since there were only 3 of us. Did get a recommendation for the Grilled Iberico Pork so we’ll have to try that next time.

This place was INCREDIBLE. My expectations were already very high going in, and they were entirely met. The food was extremely tasty and beautiful. Our server was polite, knowledgeable, and personal. The restaurant had great ambiance and beautiful views. I would go again in a heartbeat.
