Being originally from Lakewood, CA Andrew is right. I relocated to Vegas 8 years ago and live 5 minutes from the first two spots. I have to try it now. Crazy how much this whole guide spoke to my origins.
As a Vegas local and a massive foodie, i've only heard of the golden tiki off this list. Go to spots are Roadkill grill (John Mull Meats), L2 BBQ, Hong kong garden is like the OG for me and a lot of Vegas locals, but a lot of people go to Yum Cha instead now. There are literally hundreds of excellent Korean restaurants out here too. Sul and Beans has some crazy bingsu deserts, Cugino's deli near UNLV is probably my fav, but ive heard Good Pie is supposed to be good as well. Red Rice is good for Chamorro food, we have, I believe, the biggest mainland Hawaiian community, so we have tons of great hawaiian food. We have a ton of filipino food, I believe Max's is a pretty iconic filipino chain. All that aside, Andrew really hit the nail head on. The strip sucks, if you want a real Vegas experience go to china town, or downtown Vegas near the container park, or town square.
I work on the strip. Occasionally after work, my coworkers and I will head out to China town for food n drink. Some of the best spots in the city reside over there!
Did that breakfast burrito have a giant blonde hair on it? I swear I saw a long ass hair on it. Great video 👍. My kinda eats. If you guys are looking for straight fire in Houston, I'll recommend these places: Ninfa's, on Navigation St. BurgerTex, at Brittmoore Taqueria El Rojo Loco, on Collingsworth. BurgerTex will change your view on burgers.
I’m in Chinatown all of the time for meetings, it’s Vegas’ best kept secret. I was just by Golden Tiki last night and the line to get in seemed longer than normal. That whole shopping center is a blast, I always take friends there when they’re visiting.
I'm from Vegas & lemmie tell you they are totally hitting the nail on the head! Not only are these great spots they visited but they area's choosen are packed w/ the secret jems Las Vegas offers. In fact, the best shoe store 🏬 🏬 filled with ONLY amazing rare and above exceptional kicks is in China Town LV. What I mean , is that go to any of these; three (or four) areas showcased here and just check out what's around. You'll find many many more gems, & all without having to Venture to the STRiP.
Blue martini (next to milano) is awesome and that whole little shopping area is awesome too. This video is significantly more appreciable than the last one. Fully agree with the journalist, Vegas is so much more and better than the strip.
I am heading to Vegas in a couple of days. I need to check out their China Town. Heard there is also a Hawaiian restaurant around there that is great. Great video btw.
Lots of Hawaiian Restaurants in Vegas. Hit up Pacific Island Taste, a Hawaiian Restaurant on Sahara, east of the strip. Tasty food and friendly service.
That Italian place is kind of a high end place with not traditional food kinda of their own fusion ideas which isn't bad, if you want real good Italian in Vegas there's Battista's hole in the wall joint that's been here forever and the food always consist and delicious. Golden Tiki is pretty awesome but they should have tried Herbs and Rye, its where bartenders go. The drinks and food is great there. TASTE is honestly true Chinese food probably the best in Vegas, Its dominated by mostly Chinese customers and all you hear is Mandarin or Cantonese and maybe 1 or 2 people speaking English lol. They missed out on a lot places that's been here for decades that are local gems.
Ahaha came to The comments to say there was a better Italian restaurant but already found someone recommending it 🤣love the endless wine you get from there
Interesting...alien brothel. On my last trip through the southwest I hit Baker CA on my way back to Vegas and they have gone crazy with an Alien Jerky complex. Looks like they are building an alien theme mall.
I love how he was like “word on the street is that this is the most authentic Italian restaurant in Las Vegas” and 2 seconds in to meeting the owners, one says “there is little authentic Italian food here”. LMAO
As a local, kinda disappointing most of these places are literally 5 mins "off the strip" lol. Town Square is literally on the strip! Would have loved to see more joints like Taco y Taco, Tacos El Gordo, Settebello Pizza, Magic Noodle, Lotus of Siam, Monta Ramen etc.
Damn, this is OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you #Munchies and Chef #SteveChu More, more, more! Even Anthony Bourdain couldn't do Vegas as well as Chef Chu & the Munchies team! Thank you #Vice for always supporting the best of everything new.
@@autorepair2321 Of course I know who he is... watch the CNN zero-point-zero productions special on the people who worked for him. Not one person liked him, but I can understand why you would think he was better... you're a lot like Bourdain.
@@autorepair2321 That's great that you had a one time great experience meeting him but don't discount his entire body of work on your one in person meet. I based my post on 3 things: 1) His entire staff hated him -- watch the episode with the Lawson Station egg salad sandwich in Japan. 2) He constantly fought/picked on other chefs. Bullying others because they have different opinions or do things differently doesn't make you better. 3) Watching his shows was entertaining but you could see how mean and arrogant he was. Bourdain was an angry recovering addict who bemoaned his early life choices. Funny, entertaining but not inspiring. Unlike Bourdain, Steve Chu doesn't make the show about himself.
Born and Raised in Las Vegas.. I love my city. Milano is such a great restaurant! But, when they said "there is little authentic Italian food here" is so false lmao Vegas has had a lot of authentic Italian cuisine dating back to the 1980's. Do not want to say anything bad about this restaurant. It's extremely amazing!! shout out Milano at Town Square Las Vegas Also Golden Tiki is not a dive bar for locals. that's a historic spot within chinatown lmao Andrew is awesome.
No truer words spoken of Vegas: “Vegas don’t want any of this California shit”. Californi: Super-regulated on literally everything. Vegas: “Wanna fire a machine-gun drunk af?”
Been twice at las vegas, as a tourist from europe (switzerland), the hart of hospitality world? I think it couldn't be farther from the truth! Except when i was on a tent with a homless couple, they where nice peoples and i had a great time with them! For the rest, honestly, good time, but so superficial
"I was more of a Starcraft kind of guy". My man
Absolutely based
Bruh I lost it when he said this lol
Clearly a man of culture
Amen brother! 🤣
Virgin circle jerkers
Andrew’s take on Las Vegas is so accurate it’s scary..
"Will I ever move to Vegas? Fuck no! But I'll support the economy as long as I live."
Andrew is such a gem, truly. When the world needs more jewels.
He should be the feature. The Steve guy is too subdued.
I'm glad he got a chance to be the guest and say his stuff. Not doing that is critical to his own show and keeping those separate is how the magic happens.

Spoke too soon mate
That long hair at 4:07 in the burrito.
😳
I knew i wasn't the only one that seen't that🧐
I’m sure he let Rhiannon grab that half
This was so much fun! Thanks for having me. 💋😊
woo you were v cool!
I loved the hair spotlighted on the breakfast burrito.
I was debating, I think that might be cheese. Sometimes melted cheese terminates in hard strands.
Rhiannon Kay is such a genuine person… she’s a no bs girl.
Yeah she's a he. Check those hands out. Having flash backs of Jordan and the Bulls in 97

Vegas Chinatown needs more love. Had the best soup over there for breakfast after a heavy night of partying and drinking. That soup gave me life.
Big 'ol hair in a breakfast burrito. I mean, what else could you expect from a brothel diner lmao
lmao cross your heart and hope its just the cheese pull
Vice trying to recruit Andrew so hard...they can't touch what he does with channel 5.

Downtown LV also has many cool bars for half the price compared to the strip.
Can we get some Taji-Andrew action? I know they’ll be great together
Damn had to watch this after seeing Andrew Callahan on the thumbnail!
Steve Chu Do more of these!!
CHANNEL 5
comment section pains me bc i loved him
Lakewood CA? More like Cerritos.
I never knew there was a china town in Vegas! I’m definitely going next time looks dope!
Steve with the clutch triple pause at the end. Lol
That golden tiki bar looks good. Im going to that Italian restaurant next time.
So cool
We need a New Seattle munchies, last one was like 6 years ago.

If you want the best Hawaiian food in Vegas go to Aloha Specialities at the California hotel. You won't regret it!
Awesome to see that you went to Rainbow Kitchen - We went there a year ago and loved it!
The hair in the breakfast burrito nooooooo
I thought it was just me
Felt like the camera guy was sending us subliminal messages
I'm subscribed to this channel, how did I miss this for 2 months?
Can't believe you guys didn't visit Lotus of Siam.

yesss i agree chinatown vegas is sooo underrated
Got Hunter S Thompson vibes from Andrew's look lol
8:51 looks just like me :D

4:07 there is a hair in the burrito hellooo
