8 East
5-Course Pan-Asian Panorama Tasting Event
This pan-Asian eatery in the Circa Resort & Casino features innovative mashups of Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Thai cuisines. Indeed, it is so inventive that USA Today placed it on its List of “10 Best in Vegas,” and Eater named it to its List of “Favorite LV Restaurants.” Co-Owner/Chef Steve Piamchuntar grew up in and around his family’s restaurant in Southern California. In 1999, he was hired to open the five-star Bellagio Resort and Spa, followed by Tenaya Restaurant and Brewery, where he was Executive Chef. More recently, he was with Stirling Club, creating special events for its members. Now, at 8 East, he is creating special moments for diners with offerings like Thai beef jerky, cumin lamb lollipops, pork belly bao, lobster fried rice, dan dan noodles, and amazing desserts like Thai tea crème brûlée and Asian tiramisu (with green tea soaked ladyfingers!) In other words, the stuff of dreams. We are excited to visit!
