Poke Nachos (partially eaten)
Anne N.

This gem is a little hard to find since it sits within a business complex, so keep a look-out for the sign! It's definitely worth a little searching and a stop if you're looking for a good meal. It's spacious with open seating. You order at the counter and grab a seat while you wait for your order to be called for pick-up. The staff is incredibly welcoming and kind. Everything on the menu honestly sounded so good that it was hard to pick. The portions are pretty generous, so come hungry or ready to share with friends! I was lucky enough to have been with a big group, so I was able to try a little bit of several items. Some items worth mentioning: 1. Poke nachos - DELICIOUS. You get to pick which poke you want to top the wonton chips. They also let you sample the poke first, so be prepared when you get to the register and make your decision promptly to not hold up the line. 2. Hurricane chicken - literally so much flavor.

Delicious Hawaiian food in a business park not far from highway 15 in southern Vegas. We grabbed food on our way out of town. Everything was made fresh and so tasty! Total local spot. Nice change of pace from all the crazy Vegas restaurants.

I enjoy coming here for local food. I noticed they changed their menu a little and its nice. I really like the girl working in the front because she's always welcoming and provides great service. Definitely gives off Aloha Vibes its always clean in there and spacious. I dont have to worry about saving a table. Try the garlic chicken and the furikake chicken.

Breakfast Plate with Portuguese sausage
Cheryl W.

I stopped here for breakfast and got the Portuguese sausage with eggs and rice. The portion size was great and the price as well! I definitely want to come back and try their other things. My food came out fast and hot. This place is in an industrial area so it's a bit harder to spot, but definitely worth it to check out. The staff were nice as well.

Spam fried rice and a spam musubi
Hank P.

What a great find! I lucked into this place after finding a geocache nearby. Nice, clean little restaurant tucked away in an industrial area. The service was friendly, the food came quickly and the Spam fried rice was exactly what I needed! Highly recommend and would love to come back on my next visit to Vegas.

We had garlic chicken, furikake chicken, loco moco, meat jhun, poke and they were all soooooo good! It's away from the strip but worth the drive. Service was awesome. They had great suggestions and took great care of us!! Come try!!! You won't be disappointed.

Hurricane Chicken and Ahi Katsu
Ke'olina P.

Anytime I want of taste of home this is my favorite place to come!! From their poke nachos to their hurricane chicken this place never leaves me disappointed!! My top three go-tos have to be the hurricane chicken if I want something saucy with a crunch. Next would be their loco moco if I want comfort food. Last line of defense that's never failed me, their meat jun especially with their sauce!! Their food is always packed with flavor and most time their portions can feed me twice!! I can't count the amount of times I've come with family to dine in or to place a take out order to go. This place is always on it and service is efficient. It can get pretty busy depending on what time you're coming in but I've never found the wait time to be too crazy. There is also a solid amount of seating so whether you're here for a quick lunch break or having a meal with friends/family they've got the space. My heart hurts knowing that they'll be heading back home at some point (they haven't released an official date yet) but til then I'll do my best to support and get my fill of all the onolicious food this place as to offer while I still can!!

Furikake Chicken Plate (April 2025)
Alan G.

Read a story about Generations Kitchen being a go to place for some top chefs in Vegas, so I knew I needed to try it the next time I was there. It's off the strip on the corner of a business complex and sort of easy to miss if you aren't mapping using an online map app. Arrived around 1:30 pm in the afternoon on a weekday, and there were about 4 tables filled. The decor was streamlined, with a menu above the ordering area. They offer several classic lunch plate options, and we opted to try the furikake chicken, garlic chicken, and loco moco. The large portion of furikake chicken was nicely fried and well seasoned, sitting on a bed of white rice, with another scoop of white rice topped with furikake seasoning and a side of mac salad. The garlic chicken also had an excellent garlic flavor and crunch. The mac salad was creamy but was not as seasoned for our palate compared with other places. The loco moco had beautifully cooked over easy eggs and the beef patty was tender but a little overcooked and could have used more seasoning. A large volume of brown gravy covered the patty and rice which was great, but the gravy didn't taste homemade. We were disappointed that there was no poke or spam musubi available as they ran out early that day. Good selection of Hawaiian Sun sodas and various bottled drinks, but a bit of a bummer that they didn't have free ice water. Overall, despite a few misses, I would definitely come back to try other menu options and hopefully get there to try their poke and spam musubi as well.

I loved: Garlic Chicken I do not recommend: Poke Bowl The garlic chicken is crispy, tender, and packed with flavor. Definitely #goodeats and easily something I'd come back for. The rice and mac salad that come with it are just okay. Pretty plain, nothing memorable, but they do the job as sides. Tried the poke bowl too, and honestly, it was a letdown. The poke itself was a bit too salty, and the bowl was basically just a mountain of rice with fish on top. No extra toppings, sides, or variety that I usually expect from a good poke bowl. It felt really one-dimensional. I highly recommend sticking to the garlic chicken. It is worth the trip alone. Will definitely skip the poke next time. The inside is pretty unassuming and the service is standard.

Hamburger Steak Plate
Michelle S.

Incredible service and Hawaiian food. We were in Vegas for 5 days and decided to check out Generation Kitchen as it was close to our condo We asked for suggestions and boy was she spot on. We got the garlic chicken and it was incredible. The chicken was so tender and beautifully breaded and seasoned with garlic bits. It was delicious! We enjoyed it so much that I had to try another item. I ordered the homemade hamburger steak with gravy and onions. Both were so good! Generation Kitchen closes early (6PM I think) and are not open on Sunday. We had late games midtown and were not able to get back in time so unfortunately had to trytwo other so called Hawaiian restaurants and were so disappointed. GK set the bar so high that those restaurants did could not even compare. If you are reading this, go check them out as you will we pleasantly surprised I can wait to visit Vegas again & GK will be my first stop once I exit the airport.

Loco Moco
Vivienne C.

Another very solid and delicious Hawaiian place in Las Vegas! I appreciate that when I called beforehand to make an order, they shared what days they are open during Christmas/New Years which makes it easy to know whether or not your call will go through or not. The restaurant is in a business center area which is interesting. We ordered this for 4 people and we still had a lot of food leftover. - Loco Moco - I haven't had a loco moco in so long so this was a treat to have. I really like the curry they had all over it, but I'm not so sure if I was a big fan of the patty. I will give it to them that they took out the greasiness of the patty, but I wish there were some vinegar flavor in there as it still felt a bit meaty. - Garlic Chicken - We tried one other Hawaiian place's chicken in Las Vegas and I think they do garlic chicken better here. The chicken was incredibly tender and it was fried to perfection, not overly oily. - Hurricane Chicken - I think this is my favorite one out of the three entrees. I really loved the sauce on the chicken which went very well with the rice that was already marinated with soy sauce. Overall, absolutely fantastic place to eat and not too far from the Strip either if you Uber.

I had ordered the poke nachos and 2 entree meal with katsu dynamite and furikake Korean chicken. Honest review because y'all deserve the truth. The poke nachos was pretty good I'd say 8/10. The chips stayed crunchy! If it wasn't so saucey I'd might rate it a 9/10. But because they drenched it in too much sauce it got too sweet & I couldn't finish the rest. Had to pick out all the chips that had too much sauce. I'm would order this again but maybe I'd ask for light sauce or sauce on the side. Both the katsu dynamite and the furikake chicken, I'd give a 6/10. Honestly maybe even a 5/10 They both were too saucey. It wasn't enjoyable at all. I would NOT get these again. However, I would come back & give this place another shot but most definitely will be try something else next time.

I'm just going to say it upfront, this place is not about aesthetics at all…read more The inside is a little run down, nothing curated or "cute" about it. I even noticed small drips on the wall that looked like sauce stains, so yeah...not the kind of spot you come to for ambiance. BUT. The food? Absolutely makes up for it. I saw a steady stream of DoorDash drivers coming in and out the entire time, which already told me this place is popular for a reason and after eating, I get it. The food is really good. Like, seasoned all the way through, flavorful, not dry, not bland everything just hits. The chicken was juicy and tender with that perfect grilled flavor, and the portions are generous. The rice was fluffy, the mac salad was creamy and balanced, and everything together just felt like a solid, satisfying plate. No shortcuts, no watered down flavor, just good food done right. Vegas has a LOT of Hawaiian BBQ spots, but hands down...this is one of the best, if not the best I've had out here. So yeah, don't come here expecting vibes. Come here because you want a plate that's actually worth your money.

Place is showing zero pride. This was our favorite go to spot off strip that we visit every time we come to Vegas and that we recommend to everyone.

So there were No ribs today and they don't know when or if another location they will have them?? Spam musubi is premade but did not look great once opened. My son took one bite and said it was disgusting- No musubi sauce and tasted like it has been sitting for a while. Like just make them fresh if they're gonna sit all day. I also decided to haphazardly order a very sad and pathetic side of Mac salad that didn't taste like anything. 2 OG musubi and a side of Mac salad for $11 that went straight into the garbage. We Debated coming back on a different day on this LV trip to see if it's an off day but not sure I can after seeing how dirty it was and that they are ok to sell crap to loyal customers. This is so sad and disappointing! Hope they can bounce back because the food truly was so awesome.

Things were still getting together but I have faith they will get back to their normal flow. Food was tasty as always. Had the beef ribs and the kalua pig today. The Kalua pig was a very tasty version. One of the better ones I've had in town for my taste. Not too smoky, felt like it was roasted for a long time. The meat was still intact but tender. Ribs were as they always are. The only thing today, was that the boxes didn't feel as full as they normally do. Only got 4 ribs today and they weren't all that meaty. The pig dish wasn't full to the brim either. Also, prices have gone up from the menu, so seeing higher prices (totally understandable) and less food was a little disappointing. Service was friendly for the most part, but be ready for longer waits. Maybe it was because of the move, but it was a 15-20 min wait today. The ribs are still the best in town, I'm hoping the small portion was just a one off.

And when we finally did get our food it was burned. Maybe management changed. Definitely not the same and should absolutely avoid.

This place serves Hawaiian-Filipino fusion, with their signature robust garlic chicken. We got the Coach Bojay which is half robust garlic chicken half galbi, which comes with 2 scoops of rice and mac salad. The garlic chicken is quite delicious, a bit less garlicky than I expected, with a really good sauce. The galbi is also good, but not the most tender. It was a little burnt but otherwise they gave a generous amount. I took off a star for the rice as it is quite mushy. We also tried a hot dog musubi which is really good - there is a bit too much rice so we allocated some to mix it with the delicious sauce from the robust garlic chicken to fill ourselves up further. Both items were enough to feed 2 people, so the value is there. I loved that this is a fast casual takeout-primary spot so you can be in and out quickly.

We also ordered a side of Crackhead Chicken without the spice for our 1 year old, and she LOVED it. Normally she throws her food, but this time she actually ate it and kept making the cutest "yummy" faces the whole time. The moment I took my first bite of chicken, my reaction said it all. The flavor was INCREDIBLE! It had a perfect balance of sweetness from the coconut and a nice kick from the spices. Everything worked so well together, and the chicken itself was unbelievably moist and juicy. I also loved that the meat was served over the rice, allowing for all the juices to soak in. The rice was soft, flavorful, and just as satisfying. The macaroni salad was hands down my favorite compared to any Hawaiian BBQ spot I've tried. I also had a few bites of the beef, which had an amazing flavor and just the right amount of char to elevate it even more. The only thing that didn't stand out to me was the coleslaw, but we found out later that you can substitute for extra macaroni salad for an additional 50 cents. We will definitely do that next time! Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will absolutely be back whenever we are in the area. One quick note for parents: there are no high chairs available, and we even searched the entire food court. Since it's inside a casino, it's understandable, but just something to keep in mind.
