Pan-Asian restaurant La La Noodle is a bustling success
The activity surrounding Park MGM is significant, from Vegas Golden Knights games at T-Mobile Arena to concerts at Dolby Live at Park MGM. On any given night, the foot traffic through the property is huge, and a lot of those crowds end up directly at La La Noodle, just next to Dolby Live. But it’s not just the location that leads to all that traffic— the Pan-Asian cuisine here is seriously good, all overseen by executive chef AJ Ang and his team. The room itself is designed for high volume; it’s lengthy and arranged for maximum seating. There’s a small patio area and a bar for those unable to snag a table, but anywhere you sit at La La Noodle, you’re guaranteed to feel the energy coursing through this place.
