8 East

"During a recent visit to Las Vegas, my dining companions and I had the pleasure of dining at 8East, a restaurant that has quickly topped my list of must-visit spots in the city. From the moment we walked in, the open kitchen concept caught our attention, allowing us a sneak peek into the magic behind the meals we were about to enjoy. Our culinary journey began with the short rib dumplings, a dish that set a high bar for the evening. The dumplings themselves were tender and flavorful, but it was the horseradish cream sauce that truly elevated the dish, adding a zesty kick that we couldn’t get enough of. Next on our table were the stir-fried green beans, which were anything but ordinary. Paired with ground chicken, this dish was a delightful mix of textures and flavors, showcasing the kitchen’s ability to transform simple ingredients into something extraordinary. However, the real highlight of our meal was the brisket fried rice. This dish was not only a testament to the chefs’ mastery over their craft but also the star of our dining experience. Each bite was packed with savory goodness, making it clear why this dish is a favorite among patrons. One aspect of 8East that deserves special mention is the portion sizes. Designed to be shared, the dishes allowed us to sample a wide array of flavors, making our dining experience both diverse and satisfying. Beyond the food, what truly made our visit memorable was the bustling yet harmonious atmosphere. Watching the chefs and servers work tirelessly to ensure each patron’s experience was top-notch added an extra layer of appreciation for our meal. A special shoutout to our server and bartender, Jimmy, who was phenomenal. Jimmy’s friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu’s best bites significantly enhanced our dining experience. He was quick, efficient, and it was evident that he is passionate about ensuring his guests are happy. In conclusion, 8East is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary experience that delights the senses and brings people together over great food. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Vegas, this is a dining destination that you won’t want to miss, made all the more special by the exceptional service provided by Jimmy and the team."

"It was late and our first night in Vegas. We finished a show and decided to get a late night dinner. I got the steak noodle salad and my husband got the 8 east ramen. He was upset because the veggies wasn’t cook before hand. He was super hungry and finish the dish asap. We also got the cumin lamb lollipops. It was my favorite. Super tasty and juicy. I also had to end the night with an ipa. It was good service and fast."

"The food was wonderful! The pork belly in the bao was perfect! They cut it into cubes which really helped it become the perfect level of crispy. The lamb lollipops were juicy and tasty. We also shared the Dan Dan noodles, which were flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of the peanut type noodle dishes but this was not too peanuty and the chicken was great. I ended up loving it too. The service was great and the guy had many recommendations for us!"

"First time experiencing Fremont st walking around we got hungry . This spot was smelling good and looked popping . The entrance is cute w the cats in motion. The vibe of the restaurant made me want Asian cuisine . The stir fried inspired dishes were good and the prices fair . Would love to come here again. Service was okay but the food came out hot and fast . I want to try everything on the menu ."

"There's a reason why 8 East is one of the best rated restaurants in Circa. Their food was delicious. Our favorite was sizzling noodles, followed by garlic chicken dumplings. Their Tokyo crepe was also good, but not in comparison to other items. Must visit if you're in Las Vegas Downtown!"
