WHAT’S THE DISH? MR. BBQ PAYCE

Originally in Fullerton, CA, Las Vegas is now home to its very own Mr. BBQ location. Quality, USDA-graded meats are finally found in a Korean BBQ All-YouCan-Eat restaurant, and this one is for the books. Located in Chinatown, Mr. BBQ has created quite the buzz as being one of the best Korean barbecues in Vegas. It’s hard to compete with quality meats and impressive service. So, we had to see for ourselves what the word was.

For a Friday night, we decided to make it a date and hit the streets of Chinatown in search of a nice ambience and full bellies. For a Korean barbeque restaurant, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the lively interior, with bright colors, club music, and, of course, the fresh smell of cooking meats. We were ready to dive in.

We were met by our server John who was, beside the food, the highlight of our night. There’s nothing like great service to top things off, especially when you need a guide through the many menu items.

The all-encompassing menu includes appetizers, and a variety of AYCE menu choices- so, you decide your flight for the night. Because we were there to try it all, we got the premium package of meats, which was topped off with premium WAGYU, Scallops, Baby Octopus, and even USDA choice Filet Mignon, just to name a few.

It would be difficult to name everything that we tried- and a shorter list would be what we didn’t try- however, we can definitely share the “must try” items. For starters, any item that you see is “marinated,” give it a try. The marinade they use is the perfect complement with any of the meats as it doesn’t mask the flavor, it just adds to it. Another must-have is any of the short rib varieties, preferably the Marinated Short Ribs. They’re full of flavor, tender, and absolutely delicious!

Also, don’t skip on the house-made side dishes and drinks. From the classic steamed egg to spicy tofu soup, each don’t miss a single mark. For drinks, ask for one of their freshly bottled SOJU Cocktails- they are deliciously dangerous.

This fun and lively location is quickly becoming everyone’s new favorite AYCE Korean BBQ, and for good reason! They continue to exceed expectations for quality, atmosphere, and service. No one does it like Mr. BBQ!

Thank you to the owner, Jenny Chai, and our wonderful server, John! MV Visit
