    Meat Jun
    Laura D.

    If you're from the islands, and craving local food, this is the spot! My fave was absolutely the garlic chicken. I also been having a meat jun craving. It was good but I didn't really like the dipping sauce it came with. Fried noodles was ok, needed some shoyu. Portions are pretty big. We shared everything but still had leftovers.

    Poke Nachos (8/10) & 2 entree order katsu dynamite (6/10) and furikake Korean chicken (6/10)
    Pammy N.

    Came here on a Sunday, late lunch. When I got there, there was quite a lot of people there probably finishing up their lunch. Small, cute place. The guy who took my order was very nice. 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.

    Absolutely delicious food! I ordered the combo, and the katsu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Sauces that were included had a nice tang for one of them and the other was a sweet tonkatsu sauce. The meat jun was seasoned perfectly - salt and a lil sweet with tender meat. My friend ordered the shrimp which were gigantic and seasoned well. We also ordered the milk pudding which was a nice treat to end the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Portions are huge. Will def be coming back again and again!

    Inside

    Grinds 2 Da Max on Russell and Rainbow makes incredibly amazing Hawaiian food! Inside is a casual and inviting atmosphere with upbeat R&B music playing. Dining area is small but there's adequate seating for a table, by the window, and along the wall. Menu offers a great selection of chicken, shrimp, steaks, salmon, ahi, pork, as well as Hawaiian plates, island favorites, fried noodles, and poke. I ordered my go-to for Dynamite Chicken Katsu (mini, $13.52), its crispy breaded chicken, meat is tender and moist, has amazing wasabi aioli and spicy sauce drizzle, very savory and wonderfully delicious! Served with tasty crab potato salad and kimchi. Also had Fried Noodles (mini, $7.28), the egg noodles are delicious, topped with chopped scallions and kamaboko (Japanese fish cake), it's really good! Spam Musubi ($4.16) is tasty! It does need sauce and there are condiments like soy sauce and hot sauce available on the table. For a lovely treat, they make the best Japanese Milk Pudding, it's delightful and not too sweet! I ordered a regular ($5.20) and tried Ube flavor ($5.20), both are yummy! Ube flavor is so good! The milk pudding has a delicate, silky, bouncy texture, and comes with a sweet Japanese syrup. The milk pudding on its own is so YUM! The syrup itself is very sweet, so only pour a little bit. They also have fun cookies on display locally sourced from The Cookie Bar. I tried Crème Brûlée Cookie ($4.50), it's a huge sugar cookie with a beautiful crisp glaze and is very sweet. MacDaddy Cookie ($4.50) is excellent, it has white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, this one taste great! Service from Koltyn and Zadus is very kind, welcoming, polite, and friendly!

    Very friendly staff from when we walked in. Asked if we could briefly bring our dogs in while ordering and waiting for our food and they were very welcoming and accommodating for that. Heard good things about this place and wanted to try lots of things so we got two combo plates. First combo was the garlic chicken with shoyu poke. Being from Hawaii this was as close to home as you can get on the mainland. The chicken was nice and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. The poke was spot on as if it was flown in from Hawaii. Second combo was the ahi katsu and meat jun. Katsu wasn't too crispy since there was a lot of sauce but the flavor was pretty good and ahi was cooked well. The meat jun was soft and seasoned well too. Overall, great to have this place when you want local Hawaii style foods as someone who is from Hawaii. Good variety and everything on the menu was pretty good and very filling. Definitely felt the kanak attack after we finished eating!

    Visiting from Atlanta and was craving Hawaiian. The restaurant is small with only three tables and a bunch of counter seating so not great for large parties. I got the garlic shrimp and garlic chicken combo plate. They were out of kimchi that day, but even so, I dumbly decided to get the mixed greens instead of the crab potato salad. The portion of greens is super tiny without the side of kimchi so I should have gotten the potato salad. Alas. Food came out quickly and everything was piping hot. Generous portions and cooked perfectly. They don't skimp on the garlic for the shrimp so make sure you have breath mints. Would have loved to come here with friends so I could try everything on the menu.

    Hello Yelpers! Yes, this review is a little late... but the food is still living rent-free in my head. Grinds 2 Da Max (Russell) does not miss. My Hawaiian plate was next-level: massive laulau, Kalua pig, crab salad, and Hawaiian-style poke -- all ONO. My wife crushed her garlic chicken too. Easy parking, great location, super friendly service. Long story short: order anything, eat everything, leave happy :) :) :)

    Lemon Garlic Shrimp

    We ordered the beef and chicken teriyaki with mac salad, along with the lemon garlic shrimp. I'll start with the positive, the presentation was very good. The plates looked fresh and appetizing, but unfortunately, looks can be deceiving. The meal didn't live up to our expectations. The beef was overcooked and tough, and we ended up throwing away more than half of it. The chicken was just okay, comparable to what you'd get at L&L, but nothing memorable. We also received potato salad instead of the mac salad we ordered. The potato salad wasn't very good, and it was disappointing to get the wrong side. Another odd choice was the amount of rice. The teriyaki meats were already served over a bed of rice, yet the plate also came with an additional scoop of rice, which was unnecessary and resulted in a lot of food going to waste. The lemon garlic shrimp was definitely the highlight of the meal. The shrimp had great flavor and was the best item we ordered. However, that plate also came with far more rice than needed. We came in with high expectations based on the reviews, but left disappointed overall. I personally don't see this as a 4.5-star restaurant. It makes me wonder whether some of the glowing reviews came from friends or family because our experience was nowhere near that level. I'm giving it 3 stars because the shrimp was good and the presentation was appealing, but the rest of the meal fell short. Hopefully, this was just an off day.

    The interior is super welcoming with bright and lovely decor of Hawaii and plenty of seating. Their music is a bit of a louder volume but it is also calming. The temperature inside was incredibly cold while I waited for my food. The cashier who rang me out was super friendly and provided me with a great recommendation of the Teri steak and ginger poke combo plate, which comes with potato crab salad and two scoops of rice. They also have a good selection of trendy Hawaiian snacks and drinks as well. The Teri steak was super flavorful and tender. The rice was abundant but a bit gummy. The garlic poke was fresh and bright in flavor. I would highly recommend this place for both its meat options and its poke from this experience.

    I've tried multiple Hawaiian food joints over the years in LV and had the fortune of enjoying Hawaiian food while on vacation in the Islands as well. G2 da Max is among the best I've had on the mainland. The prices are reasonable and their assorted menu offers all the main hits. Just wished they had a place closer to the N side of town.

    Dessert
    Jet C.

    Surprisingly a letdown. I had gone to their old location on Charleston before and that experience had a great impact so I had expectations that unfortunately was not met. Nothing was particularly bad. I got the dynamite chicken katsu, which had more sauce than chicken, and the lau lau, which had more leaves than pork. The prices also had gone up significantly while the amount of food went down so that felt uneven. As I had ordered the food to-go, I don't have much to say on service other than it was good. Maybe it was an off day because it is a bit a letdown if the quality had gone down, and I don't know if I would go back.

    Chicken Katsu & Kalua Combination all rice

    Grinds 2 Da Max what can I say... We like the Grinds here! From Catering, to take out to dine in good it is consistent good grinds all the time and generous portions. Serving Hawaii kine plates with rice, choice of potato crab salad or mixed greens and kimchi. Or you can choose all rice. Also serving seafood dishes, famous "traditional Hawaiian dish called Poke (POH-keh)" diced raw fish marinated in different seasonings and many more food items, desserts and drinks. Lots of parking. Limited seating inside but do not let that stop you from going here. I'm happy they have extended hours now from 11am-8pm daily and a second location. Always Friendly Staff. So far we've had: Fried Noodles Garlic Chicken Chicken Katsu Meat Jun Teri Beef Kalua Pig (marinated smoked pulled pork) Hamburger Steak Loco Moco Limu Poke Shoyu Poke There's so many more items we need to try and we will make our way back for sure! Mahalo Grinds 2 Da Max Team!

    Opening six days no as of now, but our good friends are doing a pop up at our shop they do Mexican food Monday and Tuesday 12:00 to 7:00.… 

    Are there any gluten free options?

    Hello, yes they do have gluten free options. They have rice, shrimp, steak, chicken, poki, fish

    As of now, no, staffing is really tight. Sorry for any inconvenience

    Do you use any food delivery service ? Tried looking at Uber eats, Grubhub, and Seamless.

    I Haven't seen one yet. Best bet is call in an order. Then pay a friend or family member a couple hicks to pick it up. Lol

It's located in a small strip mall on W Warm Springs Road, about 8 miles southwest from the W Hotel where I was staying. The décor is simple, with about six tables inside and tables outside for al fresco dining. You go there for the food, not the décor. They offer a tasting menu for two for $190, that is amazing. What's more amazing is the deluxe version for $370. As a solo diner on this occasion, I couldn't avail myself of either so I made my own, three Shigoku oysters ($12), three Oyster / Uni / Foie Gras ($30), U3 Prawn with truffle butter ($40), Truffle Bone Marrow Filet with Foie Gras ($76), two glasses of wine ($14 and $16), and Illy coffee to finish ($4). The three Shigoku oysters were great; the ones with uni and foie gras were sublime! I had a glass of 2024 Touraine Sauvignon Blanc with the oysters. The Truffle Prawn was out of this world! The large prawn was split and grilled with truffle butter. The meat was perfect, and I scooped all of the goodness from the shells and savored each bit. I wanted another order! The Truffle Bone Marrow included two bone halves, topped with sliced medium rare filet and seared foie gras. I can never have too much foie gras! The marrow was so unctuous and combined with the filet and a slice of foie gras, I was in food heaven! It's so decadent and insanely good. I had a glass of District 7 Pinot Noir with the meat. Alas, no room for dessert. If I did, I would have ordered another Truffle Prawn. I ended my meal with a cup of Illy coffee, then headed back to my hotel. Ah, what a meal! Superb from start to finish! The total came to $253.08, including a tip. Highly recommended! Rating: 4.75.

Anywhoddles I ordered from Eki Ramen, and when I tell y'all this ramen was RAMENING! Aka delicious. Aka... fire I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, and as you can see from the menu, it was only $12.95. I added an extra egg, extra pork belly, and extra black garlic oil because... why not? Anywhoddles with the extra "trimmings" it came to $18 dollars. Let's get back to the review Now lean in so I can tell y'all about this broth. It tasted authentic to me. It was rich, velvety, silky smooth, creamy without being heavy, and bursting with savory goodness. Every sip had me closing my eyes The noodles had the perfect bite--not too soft and not too firm. The pork belly was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of char around the edges. And those eggs? Whew! Perfectly jammy with that beautiful golden yolk. So... if you're a ramen lover--or if you've been thinking about trying ramen for the first time--I highly recommend giving Eki Ramen a try. And while you're there, take your time and explore Cheongdam Food Hall because there are plenty of other restaurants waiting to be discovered. Until next time... y'all already know what time it is!

Ace King BBQ is not located in the best kept plaza and is right next to the original Jinya. The interior is pretty clean and ambience with the lighting reminds me of Chinese karaoke spots. It's not very spacious, so you'll find that you sit pretty close to tables surrounding you. However, the chairs are very comfortable. This is one of the many places that have adopted a QR menu where you order on your phone as well. Options are plenty with the meats, seafood, and vegetables! But not much when it comes to the drinks. There's only a few cocktail options but plenty of beer. We ordered a few selections from each section and honestly, there isn't really much to say. Everything tasted the same since the same seasoning is used on every skewer. Nothing is out of the ordinary or special, so you already know how everything will taste but just depends on what vessel you want to eat the seasoning with. However, I do find it very unnecessary and strange that their "warmer" is just a bunch of normal candles (not sure if it's food safe) that go out and does not generate enough heat to really keep anything warm. The BBQ enoki mushrooms probably tasted the best but after a while you just feel sick from it because it's just sitting in oil. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is a spot I'd be returning to, as Chinese skewers are becoming more and more popular again with more options opening up.

The restaurant is big with plenty of seating and space in between. It has a hibachi station , ramen/udon/pho station and sushi station. I plus there is two large islands of hot foods and two additional large islands of cold foods and desserts. Unfortunately a lot of the food were empty or closed to being empty and not being refilled or was taking a while to get refilled. Since we were there for the crab legs, we were very disappointed with the fact that they refill every 20 min instead of refilling once it was empty. They have a sign that states it's refilled every 20 min and a limit of 6 legs per person at a time. My first plate I waited in line since it was empty at the time. Once they finally brought out a batch, it literally was only a large mixing bowl of crab legs they came out with and luckily I was able to get some. Unfortunately the amount they brought out was only enough for about 6-7 people. They only brought out two small batches before we gave up on trying to get any. A lot of the food looked like it had been sitting for a long time. Again, a lot of the food was near empty or completely empty and wasn't being refilled. The sushi wasn't good as the rice was mushy and the fish looked ehh. The food from the hot bars didn't meet my standards so I didn't even bother trying the hibachi or ramen/udon/pho stations because at that point I was over it. Once we decided we were done and ready to leave, I went to wash my hands and as I was walking back to my table to get the family to go, I walked under a water leaking coming from the roof and wasn't even told to go around when the workers knew what was going on and where standing right there. Definitely never going back if I'm ever in town or if we decide to move to Vegas. Worst buffet experience ever and was a total waste of our time and money.

    First, they've moved to the other corner of the complex into a much larger space than they had…read morebefore. Great for those of you who are wanting to dine in! 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.

    Well, it's such a sad day for me. This was my go to for dinner. The servings were exceptional and…read morethe price WAS phenomenal. Now they reduced the portions and raised the prices by $5. I used to order the chicken plate for 15 bucks and I would be able to have it for lunch and dinner now that same chicken plate is $20 and only enough for one setting. I'm really sad and i knew something was going to change because they've been closed for weeks, but I wasn't expecting a price raise and a portion decrease.
