    Multiple takeout orders left and behind lines of food undelivered

    Everything can improve. Terrible service, should be totally a quick bite. We came in during the time of a concert so ofc it's gonna be busy but it cleared out quickly. Took so long that everyone basically left without getting their full order. Been waiting for an 1 hour and a half, mind you, server said she would check after constantly asking and having to get up + she never did. Ambiance completely ruined so doesn't even matter. Manager didn't even help just pushed chairs in.

    Watching this mess of a casino restaurant. Ordered over 45 minutes ago, still no food, the staff is doing absolutely nothing. It's super loud from the club next door. This used to be a great place for a quick bite to eat but no longer. On the bright side the pizzas are huge! Now up to an hour still no food. Asked for a refund can't figure out how to do that, so here we sit. What a horrible experience!!!! 1 hour 20 minutes finally food arrived, looks good but would never wait for this again! Oh it was just 2 burgers, nothing that should have been difficult.

    Plain chicken wings

    Enough variety on the menu that there is something for everyone. The service is always friendly and didn't take long for our food to arrive. Very casual setting. I've had their pizza and wings many times but thought I'd switch things up and ordered the bang bang shrimp. Really good and the spice level was perfect. Check it out when you're at the Nugget.

    Last night after a concert at the Nugget Casino, I found a hidden treasure. I was recommended by a customer sitting in the restaurant to try the Pad Thai Bowl. The kitchen is open so you can watch how your food is prepared. I did order the Pad Thai and it was Fab!!!! Served with a wonderful presentation of chicken, noodles, sprouts, onions and spice. You can also have shrimp as well. A very healthy portion in one bowl. I took home my leftovers... Room Chef Trevor Gerber should be awarded for this Pad Thai bowl. I will positively bring my family back for this dish. When you visit The Nugget Casino...head right over to the Island Grill and say hello to Chef Trevor making your beautiful food and my new favorite Pad Thai bowl. Come visit! Amazing!!!! Good food is so beautiful. Julie A.

    Drunken noodle
    Alexis E.

    Had very friendly service at the register! I had the drunken noodles and katsu. Katsu seemed burnt, still decent. Fries were in large portion size so yay. Lastly, the drunken noodles were my favorite, but they were covered in a lot of oil. If they had less oil it would've been much more enjoyable. Overall service is excellent and it's a decent place to eat if you're stuck at the nugget.

    Pad Thai and burger

    The food was not bad, the pad Thai is advertised as spicy and there was no spice. Burgers fire. Can not add lettuce to a burger and even when you dine in for 20 dollar entrees you order off a tablet next to the host. Service was not good. This is a sit down restaurant not acting like a sit down restaurant so my boyfriend would ask questions like "do we get our own drinks?" He was met with a rude attitude and the server saying is this the future?? Yes you do. Order Togo you'll be good.

    French Fries

    The service was okay, we had to bus our own table. They were really busy with a concert happening . I had the Loco Moco, which was not very flavorful. The cheese pizza was plain, sauce was not flavorful. The French fries were good, probably the best part of our meal.

    Roni Pizza. Amazing!
    A G.

    Didn't even know about this walk up restaurant until our last day staying at the Nugget. It was 20 min before closing when we ordered a pizza and let me tell you..... One of the best New York pizzas I have ever had.. Crunchy crust, flavorful dough, zesty sauce with a stretchy cheese pull. A++ Staff was great, friendly and helpful. Will go next time for sure when we go back to Sparks. Restaurant should be called Hidden Island grill because you can walk right past it without even knowing..

    Burger and fries were good, but the soda from the fountain drinks tasted like the carbonation was off. The one thing I did not like was being forced to tip when using my card to pay as the option for no tip was greyed out, so you had to choose the tip option. I'm not against tipping. I just like to tip with cash.

The egg yolk tasted different 3/5 - Battleship: the fries are thin and crispy which I love. The cheese balls and meat are good.

However, the prices are still high for the amount of food served.

Parking is fairly easy, with plenty of street spaces nearby, and an easy walk if you're already hanging around the neighborhood. The service was friendly and fairly prompt, and even for a weekday night the place was bustling, leading to a bit of a backup. Cool vibes all around, and it's neat to sit at the bar and watch the chefs do their thing. Though it does mean this is a little bit on the noisy side. Look at the menu, and there are tons of tempting options. As the name suggests, their specialty here is small plate off the grill or out fo the fryer. But they do serve really good-looking ramen, too, which I will make not to try next time I swing by. I at first went with a quick bite of grilled chicken thighs, which were just amazing! They were juicy, eprfectly seared, with some grilled green onions and an amazing sweet soy sauce. I also went with the yakionigiri, which are balls of rice that are grilled, brushed with sauce, and topped with a sort of mango slaw. A bit uncommon, but wow, these were also just so delicious! Also had a glass of sake, though they have a full bar should you want some other sort of beverage. Prices here are, I feel, a little on the higher end for small plates. However, I think it is definitely worth coming and trying this place out at least once or twice, just to expereince some of the good food. I'm sorry it took me so long to finally step through the doors, but I am certain I will be back again to try more of what's on the menu.

One thing we noticed right away was that the bonchon was already set on the tables before guests arrived. It wasn't a large spread--just a small tin of cheese corn and a divided tray with kimchi, bean sprouts, and fish cake--not sure how long they were left out and did look and taste dry. The servers seemed to work well together. Different team members checked on us, cleared dishes, served food, and helped other's tables. Once it got busier, they also used robot servers to help deliver food. We started with the salad with house dressing and the popcorn chicken. Both were good, and the chicken was nice and moist. For the BBQ, we ordered the Chardol, Ju Mul Luck, Hawaiian Steak, Tri-Tip Bulgogi, and Galbi (short ribs). Having eaten at quite a few Korean BBQ restaurants in Las Vegas, we noticed the portions here were a bit smaller. They also limit each round to three appetizers and four meat selections. Overall, the service was good, and we especially appreciated Eurie for being friendly and attentive. The only thing that concerned us was when another server changed our grill. Instead of lightly drizzling oil onto the grill, she forcefully squeezed the bottle, causing the oil to shoot out onto grill. It seemed like an unnecessary safety risk for both guests and employees. Our favorites were definitely the Tri-Tip Bulgogi and the Galbi. Both were flavorful and tender. The Chardol was good, but the slices were very thin and the portion felt a little small. The restaurant filled up quickly between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., so it's clearly a popular spot. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back for the Tri-Tip Bulgogi, Galbi, and the teamwork displayed by the staff.

This time, the dumplings were okay, but I remember them being better during my previous visit. I also recall them serving noodles, which were not available this time. I couldn't help but wonder if they are no longer making the dumplings from scratch, as several reviews suggest they may be using the Mila frozen dumplings available at Costco. I didn't confirm that myself, but it did make me curious. That being said, the dumplings were still decent and definitely hit the spot. The real draw of this place, however, is the outdoor venue they share with Abby's Hwy 40 Bar. It's a very inviting space to enjoy your food, relax, and watch some TV. The World Cup was on during our visit, which made for a fun atmosphere. I'd probably want to confirm whether the dumplings are made in-house before ordering them again, but the outdoor setting alone makes this a pleasant place to stop and spend some time.

A fried squash (pumpkin?) was delectable, had some very good bean curd/mixed veggies, the Sichuan water fish did the job but was a bit short from the best I've had-- which to be fair is tough because there is so much Sichuan food everywhere these days. A second veggie dish with lotus root was also excellent, and the sweet and sour pork, while not memorable, was distinctly better than the sweet and sour chicken.
