I couldn’t be more grateful to you both for your Saturday videos. I have been having a REALLY rough week, and when I woke up today and my husband said, “babe we have our new James and Paul today!” When I tell you that sentence got me up and moving, I mean it. So thank you, thank you, thank you, both of you ❤️ On a lighter note, I’ve always wanted to try Korean BBQ and this place sounds like it’s right up our alley! Our dining list for our March trip is getting a little aggressive at this point 🤣🤣
Oh believe me that it’s been a rough week for so many people so we can definitely relate. Whether it’s just current events or just real life things, we hope that this video did brighten up your day. If you have not done Korean BBQ yet, you totally should. Kimchi Korean BBQ is definitely a bit more on the traditional side, but if you are newer to KBBQ, we also suggest trying Gen Korean BBQ House at Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile Shops which is also AYCE and a bit simpler for a first timer (mostly because there is only one price and not A,B,C tiers like more traditional AYCE places). While we haven’t done Gen in Vegas we do have a Gen at home in AZ and it’s one of our go to places when we want KBBQ. But Kimchi is also a great option and it’s 24 hours so it’s perfect for late night dining. Thanks for watching and we hope that you’ll enjoy your first KBBQ experience whenever you do it ❤️ -Paul
@@JamesandPaulTryitAll OMG thank you for the Gen recommendation, we are staying at the Elara connected to the Miracle Mile shops, so that is beyond convenient for us!! Y’all are the best, I hope we run into you next time 🥹
I'm half joking when I ask if you need to sign a waiver when you go there in case you get burns. :) Debbie an I pass this place all the time but never thought of going in. I'll have to have her watch this to see if she's interested, it does look good.
I did not expect the flames on the grills here to pop like they did. Most places we have gone for Korean BBQ will usually have less of an “eruption”, but I can only say, be careful with the grills. While it’s not the best Korean BBQ we have had it’s still a fun option for a late night food run. -Paul
What a find! We’ll check it out on our next trip. Late-night grilled meat is my favorite snack. BTW excellent, excellent job with the metal chopsticks. I can barely manage them and I’m Japanese.
Metal chopsticks are better than the plastic ones but you are right that they are still trickier. I know why they don’t use bamboo chopsticks as those are single use but I totally prefer bamboo over metal or plastic. Our local dim sum restaurant does plastic and it’s so difficult to use on anything that isn’t a shu mai, bun, or dumpling. And yes, this place is in that strip mall across from Resorts World by Tacos El Gordo and it’s a great late night option. Is it the best, absolutely not (and we mentioned that in the video), but it’s something different. -Paul
Awe thank you. And thank you for watching. It’s definitely a decent option north strip for late night eats when you want something different from Tacos El Gordo or Peppermill. -Paul
So cool that you cook the meat yourself. Very unique. I've been to a Korean BBQ before, but didn't have the a cook grill on the table. All you can eat for that price and food options seems like a good deal. Cool there is a sushi robot! I like Eel! I haven't had squid before. Seems super chewy just by looking at it. Don't want the suctions on the tentacles to get stuck when eating. - Ryan Sellers
Half of the fun is in the cooking at the table, but for $59/person for the premium option, it’s not too bad of a deal, but in all honesty most people can be fine with the 2nd tier at $49/person. As for squid, it is a bit chewier and if you are not into that it can be a little off putting but its worth a try if you see it on a menu. I am more a fan of the Spicy baby Octopus (and they shrivel up when you cook them on the grill) but they did not have it on their menu here. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed. -Paul
It definitely was delicious. And yes, beef tongue is delicious. It’s great in a taco 🌮 but at Korean BBQ it pairs really well with the rice. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️ -Paul
Hey guys! I'm glad that this ended up being a pretty good experience. I was a little worried after James' reaction to the ribeye. Ri Ra Irish Pub and anything at NY NY is definitely more my jam. If I was with you guys or other Korean BBQ fans, I would give it a shot. Thanks and see you tomorrow 😊
We actually caught that ourselves. I enjoyed the rib eye, but we didn’t exactly have a lot of great footage due to trying to film while cooking. The next time we do something like this, I think we’ll be more on our A-game. Thanks as always! -James
Thanks Amber! We’re glad that you enjoyed it. I can say with certainty that there are better Korean BBQ restaurants in Vegas, but with Kimchi being located on the strip and open 24/7, I highly recommend it not only for the tasty food, but the convenience factor as well. -James
Great video. You guys always give such good options to try. I have been going to Vegas since the early 90’s and have never been to 1/2 the places you have shown in the past year. To be honest, I was getting bored with the same thing every time we went. Now my excitement has returned because I have so many new options! Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Thank you Paula! That’s exactly why we started this channel. We found ourselves easily falling into the trap of doing the same things every time, and through these videos, we’ve pushed ourselves to stay new places, eat at new restaurants, and see new things. We’re so happy you’re continuing to enjoy the channel. We appreciate you so much. -James
I'm loving this review guys! Love Korean food as well. We thought Paul was the chef so we were laughing when he said he was afraid of fire. (Sorry...) You must be the baker? Anywho ... they are cheap with their ban❤❤chan. We've been where they bring out twelve dishes... so good. We also LOVE your foodie shirts. Keep up the good work, guys! ❤
Oh I am one of the chefs (We both cook and bake… but I still hate fire) - I have always grown up with electric stovetops so I do avoid a lot of direct fire when cooking but I will also say that other KBBQ places we have been either in LA or at home in Phoenix the grills were definitely not as prone to flames as the ones here. The grills here did seem to cook items a lot faster than other places we have been and that’s likely due to a bit more visible flame. As for the Banchan, they did bring out the 4 items we showed as a standard, but they do also have a whole portion of the AYCE menu with sides that you can order or request. We did not show those additional sides on video as admittedly we had been eating all day and wanted to save room to show off as many of the main grill items for the sake of the video. But they do have an assortment of 8 other Banchan items that you can request off the standard AYCE menu. With about 6 to 7 more per tier also offered on the B and C tiers. As we said at the end, is it the best we have had? Absolutely not. But it was a fun option on the strip for KBBQ open at all hours, and something different than Tacos El Gordo which is literally in that same mini strip mall. Thanks for watching and for the comment ❤️ -Paul
That all looks so good!! 🤤 We took our boys to one here in AZ recently and the youngest was all about the bulgogi! When we go back to LV this may be a stop! Thanks for the video!!
The bulgogi is a classic (and standard). Korean BBQ is a lot of fun and I am glad that this is an option North Strip. If you are south strip, I mentioned this in another comment but there is also a location of Gen (the same Gen we have in Tempe), and that one is located at the Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood. Thanks for watching ❤️ -Paul
Apologies for the late comment, busy week. Awesome video, my wife never knew that you'd cook your own food at a Korean BBQ lol. Since I enjoy Korean food and she loves sushi, this place definitely will work for us on our next trip. Thank you for sharing.
No apologies needed, my friend! We’re glad you enjoyed this video! If you and your wife end up hitting up Kimchi, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Thanks for taking the time to comment! You know we appreciate it so much. -James
They have 3 different AYCE options at different price points and SO Many options. For us, when we do KBBQ at any place that offers different tiers for their AYCE menus we always recommend going with the premium option if it’s within your budget as it offers the most options. Sometimes we even ask the server to just bring out stuff from each tier as we go and just let the server bring out a random assortment of items. But if you are newer to KBBQ and this style of dining, option A or B is never a bad idea as most places will always have Bulgogi and at least one type of pork belly and the standards on the first two tiers. Thanks for watching and the comment ❤️ -Paul
@ there’s always something on each tier that we want lol, but sometimes we just stick with the basic or middle option to keep costs down. But hearing that bulgogi and the pork belly is on the lower tiers is music to my ears 😄
The new food places in Caesars food hall are OPEN!!! I know you are headed to Vegas in Dec.Creme Brule Puff pastry @ Buddy V's.YUM.The carnitas tacos at Tarazo,meat was mushy. Tonight I'm trying the dumplings @ Esther Choi.Have a great week!!!
Thank you for the suggestion! We’ve been wanting to explore more of the Asian options near Spring Mountain, so we’ll make sure to add this to the list. -James
Hi guys, great video! The man whore rolls sound good. I've never had Korean BBQ. Next time I'm in Vegas, I will give it a try. I am still sick, but I did go to the doctor last night. I have bronchitis. I have my meds, so hopefully, next week, I will be better. ❤❤
We’re so glad to hear that you’re being treated and hope you feel better very soon. I always get bronchitis this time of year, and it usually gets pretty bad. I can image how you must be feeling. We absolutely love KBBQ, and Vegas has quite a few to choose from off strip. We hope you get to experience it for yourself and find you like it as much as we do. -James

Also… be sure and get the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) at Gen. So yummy.
