@ninser_the_foodie
Is it Mexican? Is it Korean? It’s KoMex. A mashup formed from love of the two. Bulgogi Nachos. Pork Belly Tacos. Kimchi fried rice. Hungry yet? Us, too. 4155 S Buffalo Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89147 www.komexexpress.com

3. IS Sweet
The camera eats first at this dessert bar in China Town. “Food Porn” worthy dishes like the Matcha green tea mille crepe and honey toast will be your next Instagram post. Guaranteed. Ste 101, 5288 Spring Mountain Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89146 702.527.5550
4. Honey Pig
Nothing cures a hangover like KBBQ and Honey Pig kills the game. Order your meats and await the mega amount of side dishes that accompany. You can kiss that headache goodbye. Oh, and it’s 24 hrs. 4725 Spring Mountain Rd # K, Las Vegas, NV 89102 702.876.8308
5. Japanese Cuisine by Omae
A5 Kobe & Wagyu by Norm K.
Don’t even think about getting a table here without a reservation. Chef Takeshi Omae hails from Japan and has helmed some of the most prestigious kitchens in Tokyo. The menu is Omakase and selected by the chef. The space only fits 12 guests, so make a reservation. 3650 S Decatur Blvd, Paradise, NV 89103 www.omaevegas.com 702.966.8080
