    Mixed Plate
    Falysa E.

    I've been here several times, so I came in with pretty high expectations. This visit was a little hit-or-miss, but there were still a few things I'd order again. The chicken kelaguen was fresh, packed with flavor, and definitely my favorite part of the meal. The cucumber finadene was just as good, and the fried shrimp paired with their dipping sauce was absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed both the Spam and shrimp musubis. The BBQ chicken and ribs were decent, but they didn't stand out the way I remembered from past visits. I was also a little disappointed with the red rice...it just didn't have the same flavor that kept me coming back before. Even though this wasn't my favorite visit, I know what this restaurant is capable of because I've had some amazing meals here in the past. I'll definitely give them another shot and hope this was just an off day.

    I've enjoyed this Chamorro restaurant in the past, so I was excited to come back, but this visit just didn't quite hit the mark. I ordered the mix plate with BBQ chicken, ribs, and fried shrimp, which came with cucumber finadene and chicken kelaguen. I also tried two musubi, one Spam and one shrimp. The cucumber finadene and chicken kelaguen were definitely the highlights of the meal. Both were fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal felt like it was missing something. The rice lacked the flavor I remembered, and the fried shrimp just wasn't very tasty. The BBQ chicken and ribs were good, but they didn't have the same wow factor that made me a fan on previous visits. I know this restaurant is capable of better because I've had great meals here before, so I'm hoping this was just an off day. I'll definitely give them another chance because the sides reminded me why I enjoyed eating here in the first place.

    Such a local hidden gem! I was hungry, but didn't want to eat too much during the trip back to Los Angeles. I got shrimp patties, empanadas, and a spam musubi. I wasn't able to eat everything, so I save some for later that night. Shrimp patties: comes with some sort of sauce, not sure what it was. It was a little sweet and delicious. The shrimp patties were more shaped liker balls. It was moist and tasty. Great flavor and you could actually see the chunks of shrimp. Spam musubi: made with red rice. They were delicious and filling. Empanadas: my favorite of the bunch. It was crispy and light. I believe it has chicken and rice inside. Nice flavor throughout. I definitely recommend getting the empanadas. Hot sauce: if I had only known, I would have asked for more. It has a kick to it and made all of the food extra tasty. I can't wait to go back to try the ribs and other entrees!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Red Rice! This was my first time trying Guamanian food and I was pleasantly surprised. The portions are plenty, and there are just enough options to choose from on their menu. I had the breaded shrimp, which the panko breading was kept crispy and light, while the shrimp were plump and moist. Their infamous red rice, coloring from Annato seeds, was cooked perfectly and had a delicious flavor, and I really enjoyed the cucumber finadenne as my other side (like a party in my mouth). Red Rice is very casual with a great mom and pop feel to it. My lunch was a wonderful Guamanian surprise, and I'm looking forward to going back again!

    I have been wanting to try Red Rice for so long after trying them at a food festival a while back, and the opportunity finally presented itself while we were on this side of town. I have to say that they grill chicken very, very well. The sides were also amazing. I had both of the cucumber sides and was very satisfied. The red rice was delicious; I wish I could make this rice at home. The wife got the beef ribs which were tender and oh so flavorful. She also got a side of the chicken kilaguen, which was tangy and sooo good. I wish we had a Red Rice on our side of town. Every time I am in Henderson, I will be thinking about having Red Rice.

    Stopped by because I wanted Guamanian Food and we were in the area. Service was really good. The workers were friendly. Hafa Adai! Food: * Pork Spare Rib Plate added premium side of Chicken Kelaguen. * Empanada The spare ribs were tasty and I loved the red rice. The kelaguen was a small serving but it was delicious. I got my Empanada fix. It was so good. There's 3 to an order. Overall, great spot that I will definitely return.

    What an amazing find in Henderson... Our Vegas friends found Red Rice on a whim, and took us when we were in town visiting... Simply outstanding. Red Rice brought back nostalgia from our time living in Guam (lived there 5 years in a previous life)... The food is as authentic Chamorro as you're going to find. It's a family owned joint and you can tell they really pride themselves in serving quality Chamorro cuisine. The owners are so friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is small and quaint, but clean and well-kept. While it's not cheap ($60 for two plates), they give you a ton of food, arguably enough for two meals, so keep that in mind. When in/around Vegas, Red Rice is a must if you've ever lived in Guam or the Marianas Islands... IYKYK

    Tried this place twice (came in once and took to go, and ordered off postmates the second time) and both times really delivered! Located on the busy street on Eastern, there's still ample parking in its plaza! Inside, there's a huge menu on the screens in front of you, a bench to sit on the side for waiting, and tables to the right. Ambience is heavily Guamanian which is awesome, and towards the door you can find some interesting articles up for you to read about how they got started :) The person taking my order seemed friendly, and of course the second time was on postmates, so no need. The menu selection can be a bit difficult at first because of the new item names, but trust, whatever you get is delicious and well-cooked! If you want to try a bunch of different items, I'd suggest the Mix combo plate! (Red rice, bbq chicken, bbq spare rib, breaded shrimp, chicken kelaguen, and a choice of side (my fav is the cucumber fine denne). I've also done regular plates and added the bbq rib because it's honestly a rib with so much meat! Don't skimp out on the banana donuts! Soft doughy/banana inside with a fried outside! SO GOOD! And yes, the red rice is super flavorful! OH and The spam musubis with the red rice are chefs kiss! Overall, 10/10 on the food- and I didn't even get to have it fresh fresh and it was delicious!

    I love the decor

    Hear me out! A Guamanian BBQ Revelation I stumbled upon Red Rice while searching for a Hawaiian BBQ spot and was utterly blown away to discover that we had Guamanian BBQ here in Las Vegas. I did some quick research just to kind of get a understanding of the difference and found that Guamanian BBQ is distinct from Hawaiian BBQ, even though they share island roots. In Guam BBQ, meats are often marinated in savory blends of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and black pepper, then grilled over fragrant native woods like tangan‑tangan for a truly smoky finish . In contrast, Hawaiian BBQ from classics like my fav BBQ chicken, to imu‑cooked kalua pig, its all about sweet‑savory tropical marinades featuring soy sauce, ginger, pineapple, brown sugar, and garlic. So while both island BBQs bring deep flavor, Guam leans smoky, savory, and grounded, whereas Hawaiian leans bright, sweet, and tropical. Anyways....Back to the review! Their Spam musubi could have carried my cravings alone with its crispy, savory, and wrapped to perfection presentation. But the true star of the show was their signature red rice. I'd never had it before, and now I'm absolutely hooked. Vibrantly hued and beautifully earthy, a taste that lingers and delighted me. The cucumber side, cucumber fina'denni', was a standout as well with a cool, tangy, and playfully spicy, with just enough zing to balance the rich BBQ flavors. In short: Red Rice delivered an unforgettable Guamanian BBQ experience with addictive red rice, playful sides like cucumber fina'denni', and musubi that doubles as an added bonus. If you haven't tried this version of BBQ I highly recommend!

    Whenever my husband and I go to Vegas, we always make our way to Red Rice to get our Guam/chamorro bbq fix since there really isn't any Guam bbq places in San Jose where we live. Over the years and times we've been here you can never go wrong with any of their combo plates which comes with a bit of everything. On our recent visit we ordered the fiesta plate which includes beef short ribs, bbq chicken, pork spare ribs, red rice, and a side of chicken kelaguen. Everything was cooked and prepared well and definitely fulfilled our Guam bbq cravings especially after pouring finnadene over everything! All of the meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and had a nice char to it. The fiesta plate is definitely enough to share for two people. Service was great and welcoming. There are a few tables to dine at, the interior decor was cool to look at--they even have stickers and merch for sale (which we bought lol).

    What a great island style restaurant! If you're are wondering what kind of local dishes you would find at a Guam fiesta... go to Red Rice. The barbecue marination is exactly what you would taste on Guam. Plus of course they have red rice, short ribs, shrimp patties, kelaguen (barbecue chicken, coconut, peppers, lemon, onions)... an awesome dish. A lot of the dishes are soy sauce base. Plus the staff is super friendly.

    Red rice is a must go every two weeks if I stayed in Las Vegas! The food was amazing the grilled meat and red rice is a must have every time I return! The atmosphere was great to dine in. The service was great and they were helpful and polite.

    Rice and rib plate with extra rice
    Lissa V.

    Amazing food! The rice is so flavorful, the ribs are cooked perfectly. Sometimes the meat on the ribs can be a little light but nonetheless this place has great food and service! I always get the rib place with extra rice and extra dressings. They have a homemade hot sauce that's really good too, love to add it to the rice!

    We decided to check out this BBQ restaurant after seeing the high ratings across multiple review…read moreplatforms, so I'll admit our expectations were pretty high. It's located off the Strip in a somewhat hidden, out-of-the-way plaza, which gives it more of a local, low-key feel. One thing I noticed right away was that the menu posted in the lobby didn't have prices, but the menu behind the register did. They have a huge selection of food, so there are plenty of options to choose from. We ordered the burnt ends, brisket, mac and cheese, chicken sliders, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and cornbread. The brisket was unfortunately overcooked, although the burnt ends were good. The meatloaf was okay but definitely not the best I've had. The mac and cheese was good, and the mashed potatoes were actually really good. The chicken sliders were just okay, and the cornbread didn't really stand out. Overall, I was a little disappointed because the reviews had me expecting something exceptional. Everything was decent, but honestly, the meal was pretty mediocre for me. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really blew me away either. I'd still give it four stars because there were several good items, the menu has a lot of variety, and our overall experience was fine. However, based on the ratings, I definitely expected more.

From the cornbread and creamy mac & cheese to the incredible brisket, every bite was on point! The brisket literally melts in your mouth, the rib tips are fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sausage links come out smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can smell that BBQ goodness before you even take the first bite! The portions are great, the flavors are incredible, and this is exactly what you want when you're looking for some REAL BBQ in Vegas. If you're in Las Vegas, do yourself a favor and stop by John Mull's Road Kill Grill. Come hungry, you won't be disappointed! 5 stars all day!

The yams and greens were my favorite. The hubby loved the mac. I usually skip bread at bbq restaurants but the cornbread is a must. The location is slightly unassuming but what it offers is incomparable. I'm so glad to find a place in Vegas with great bbq and AMAZING service. Shout out to the two folks working the counter around lunchtime today. It takes both talent and heart to confirm orders, make plates, and have customers feel cared about. I'll be back again and again.
