8282 Korean BBQ Express

New favorite spot near campus I've been twice already. The inside is nice and clean and the servers are really nice and helpful.This photo of the food is from the first time. I got a two meat plate with 1 side. Which comes with a small soup and kimchi. The meat I chose was bulgogi and Marinated KFC. Both were 10/10. My choice of side was japchae. It was very nice, not too sweet. You can also do half and half if you'd like. The brown sugar bingsoo is from the second time, shown is a sample size. It was also really good. I also got a bulgogi Kimbap roll which is a separate entree. Again, loved it.I did see other reviews with bad ratings because the marinated kfc wasn't labeled as spicy, (which I found to be a little ridiculous because it's amazing). However, to whom it may concern, it and other menu items are labeled as spicy now. We love a business that listens. I personally will be returning and I highly encourage you to try it!

I've been on a Korean kick lately. 8282 is the 3rd place I've tried in the past month. My usual order at a Korean place is bulgogi. That is sort of my bench mark. So of course it is bulgogi that I ordered from 8282. More precisely, I ordered a plate with bulgogi as my protein.For my plate I asked for half/half white rice and japchae noodles. Heaping portions of each. I was pleased with that. Then came the beef. I was initially concerned that the portion was going to be small. I was wrong. The scoops kept coming. Before I knew it the to go box was full. But wait...there's more. Each bowl and plate order comes with a side of kimchi and a cup of soup. Even to go orders get soup. A lot of places don't do that.Now, down to food quality starting with the rice. Rice is rice and that's that. The japchae, while tasty, was a bit over cooked for my liking. I like my noodles to be a bit more firm. These still had some of that bouncy chew known to me from other japchae but they were a lot more soft than I am used to. The kimchi was funky, briney and spicy. Pretty good stuff. The soup was my least favorite part of my lunch simply for the slightly fishy taste. It is called fish cake soup afterall but I'm not a fish fan. I had a few sips of what was really just a cup of broth. I passed on the rest. Finally on to the main event. The mounds of bulgogi beef. Tender. Slightly sweet. A very good representation considering it is being prepared by a take out place.I was a fan of Cup Bop which occupied this space before 8282. While the cuisine is still Korean, the two really have no other comparisons. 8282 is solid. The food is good. Portions are big. The price is fair for the amount you get. Heck, I even ended up with leftovers. So the price per meal is even better. Oh, by the way, they offer a UNLV student and faculty discount with school ID. So, if you are a part of the UNLV community, take advantage of that. Most of all, enjoy your feast.

Tried them out on a Wednesday night for dinner. Service was a little awkward, but friendly. The ambiance is typical fast casual. Could smell some cleaning residue, so it's good to know they try to keep things clean. We were a couple of hours from closing, so I wouldn't expect to get end of day quality food, but unfortunately that's partly what we got. Both the fried rice and the regular white rice was inedibly dried out, but they served it anyway. Old dried out rice can give you a really upset stomach. The beef bulgogi and japchae were alright. But be careful if you have sensitivity to spicy food because items on their menu aren't necessarily marked as "spicy" when they are. It's hard to recommend they be given a try when efforts seem already so low even before their grand opening. But perhaps if you time it right, you can get an okay meal there.

The two staff we interacted with here were friendly and professional. While one took the order and got the food ready, the young lady manning the cash register explained we could win a chance to get 15% off if we won in a rock, paper, scissors battle. I lost, but I thought that was a fun and unique way to interact with guests. We ordered a lot of food bc it's not often we come to the UNLV area. It wasn't until I saw my bank statement that I saw this establishment was affiliated with mom's refrigerator... a banchan store on the west side. Anyway, I thought all the kimbap were really good- however they don't hold up well to have as leftovers the following day. The rice gets dried out. The beef also didn't have that grilled/browned look, it almost seemed simmered in water. That was a bummer. The japchae was served freshly cooked, so it was warm. The bingsoo was ok. The inside of the store was clean, however, the neighborhood wasn't the best. A homeless man came in, along with his strong essence, and I was glad to see he was afforded the same customer service as us. He too was challenged with a game of rock, paper, scissors- he won. Personally, I'm glad I tried it but I'll prob just go to mom's refrigerator for kimbap and banchan.

Soft opening today. The employees are friendly and greeted me warmly. They helped explained the menu and answered the few questions I had. They have a BYO Plate, kimbob which is a kind of roll with rice, seaweed, fish, veggies, meat, etc. and bingsoo described as Korean shaved ice. I went with the BYO Plate with half and half of fried rice and japchae, and beef Bulgogi and spicy pork Bulgogi. The beef was tender and flavorful, the spicy pork was very good as well, nice kick to it but not too spicy for those who don't want overly spicy food. I do love spicy food so I could eat it even spicier. The fried rice was solid, nothing special but the japchae was really good. I look forward to returning soon to try the different proteins as well as the Kimbob and Bingsoo They should not disappoint based on my initial experience with the food.

Finally got to try this place and was not disappointed!Staff was very friendly and answered any questions we had. I ordered a 2 plate with their fried rice, japchae, KFC and spicy pork bulgogi and have no complaints. Ordered their tuna mayo kim bob and their signature one also which was a nice touch because I'm more of a ayce kbbq kind of guy so it was nice trying something more out of the norm. Recommend this place to anyone and everyone if you want tasty korean food!

The food was delicious and quick! We came on the grand opening day and were greeted with smiles! The marinated KFC and Beef Bulgogi plates were delicious! I love the JapChae! The tuna mayo Kimbob was delicious and I enjoyed the slight spice!

Go to try this new Korean place that just opened near UNLV! Love the idea that it was fast service and super well priced for college students. The kimchi tasted homemade and full of flavor. Japchae was well flavored and soy chicken was super yummy. Everyone was super attentive and friendly!

The staff are nice, fast and efficient. The place is clean. The food is great 2nd time. We like the Kimbob, Bulgogi bowl, fried chicken ( we tried the marinated but prefer the regular) and the shrimp bowl. The servings are really good. Will be coming back for sure.

This place is my new go to spot!I used to live on Campus and I am so sad this place didn't exist when I was there. The food was amazing and staff was so kind. I am excited to come back and try everything else!Restaurant is nice/clean. Location is perfect for UNLV students. Give this place a try!!
