About Best Friend
Best Friend is Roy Choi's lively Korean-American restaurant at Park MGM, built around the feeling of a neighborhood market, bar, and dining room rolled into one. The menu blends Korean flavors with Los Angeles influences through shareable plates, noodles, rice dishes, barbecue, and banchan-style accompaniments.
The restaurant has a distinctly social energy, from its market-style entry to the music and colorful dining room beyond it. It works particularly well for groups, date nights, and diners who want a memorable resort dinner that feels more playful than traditional fine dining.
Best Friend is especially convenient to consider around a Dolby Live evening: it sits across the casino from the theater, and Park MGM advertises late service on show nights. Confirm the kitchen's last seating for your particular date before treating it as a guaranteed post-show meal. The resident-DJ atmosphere is part of the draw, so choose it for a social night rather than an especially quiet dinner.
The current menu goes beyond barbecue, with seafood options such as aguachile and whole fish alongside larger dishes designed for a table to share. Discuss portion sizes and dietary needs when ordering. For a celebration, ask about the private dining room or group-dining arrangements instead of assuming several separate reservations can be seated together; the resort also offers online ordering when a seated dinner does not fit your plans.
