Cosmo Restaurants?

Zuma, Holstein's, Momofuku are my favorites. China Poblano is good but they've messed with the menu a bit. Scarpetta is great as well. Really the only skippable one is STK.

 

We tried momofuko and weren't impressed. I wonder if we just didn't order the right things.

It can be hit-or-miss. Also depends on when you go, their lunch menu is a bit different than the dinner menu. The pork buns are always amazing, but my favorite dish on the menu is the shoyu ramen, which they don't serve at dinner.

 

It’s overrated IMO as are Chang’s restaurants in general. Although @44inarow keeps on going on about his buns.

Going there next Tuesday way to rain on my excitement haters!

 

Ha, the thing about Chang is that he's very hands-off with his restaurants. I don't love everything on the menu at any of them, but he was the first one in the country to have the Impossible Burger (at Nishi), he gave Christina Tossi (Milk Bar) her start, some of the random stuff at Ssam was spectacular, and I really do love the ramen. Plus, the buns

 

Tossi is awesome!

Not a hater, just saying don’t expect Masa.
If you really want to feel ripped off order the truffle ramen-l’ve had $5 ramen better than that $50 bowl of $&@#.

Definitely. Momofuku is not where I'd go for sushi by any means.

The pork ramen is $20, which is definitely overpriced for ramen, but not outrageously so, and we're talking the Strip here. Everything is more expensive. And to be honest, that's not more than a couple bucks over the random NYC places I'd go to.

 

Zuma. Zuma. Zuma.

I’m so obsessed. I make sure to dine there at least twice on a trip (and that’s typically only on a three night trip! That’s how much I love it).

 

The fried chicken at Blue Ribbon is amazing!

 

Is ghost donkey back up and running yet? And is the only way to get into the Barbershop... through the barbershop?

 

I like Zuma. Too bad their sushi sucks.

 

At least as of last week, no, and yes. Ghost Donkey is too small for them to realistically open it up, and the only entrance to Barbershop is through the barbershop, there's physically no other way to get in there.

 

Scarpetta is my favorite. The bar is gorgeous, the dining room has a great view of the Bellagio fountains, and the food is great. I like Blue Ribbon too-the staff is always so great. And Eggslut on the terrace in the morning is great. Have a great trip-there’s really no bad choices.

 

Ranking in order of my preference and only those I’ve been to:

Zuma
Blue Ribbon
Secret Pizza
The Henry (breakfast)
STK (great happy hour though)
Holsteins

Zuma is a must.
