    Spam Musubi
    N M.

    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.

    Shrimp patties
    Nancy A.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    The spam masubi was dry. A side sauce would help

    Food was delicious ! Took almost 30min but it was fresh. I do wish they had appetizers to offer (cook faster) while waiting for main course tho. 8/10 on food. Service was friendly and welcoming but they could use for tables! There was about 4 tables taken by a whole family and when they were all done they stayed to chit chat while we stood around waiting for them to exit. I wish at least the staff would have offered some type of apology/assistance since we had kids and elders.

    my favorite island bbq spot in vegas !! i love coming to red rice not just because of the food but the hospitality provided by the staff. everyone is so welcoming and in such a good mood whenever i visit. the flavor, juicy, and tenderness of the bbq meats are top tier.

    Hafa Adai Plate
    Julianne R.

    Cute little Guamanian spot! There aren't too many tables, but my friend and I were able to get one. The 90s music that was playing is totally my vibe! I ordered the hafa adai plate. It did take a while to come out. They said they would comp me a dessert item because of it... but I guess they forgot. Literally everything on my plate was delicious... from the empanada to the red rice, meat, cucumbers, and sauces. They all just go well together and are very flavorful. I thought I'd be able to leave myself some leftovers, but I devoured it. The staff was nice each time I've visited, and this last one was my 3rd time checking it out. If you've never tried Guamanian food, this is a great way to try.

    Chicken Plate

    Poor service and worse portions. Waited 2 hours and paid 20$ for a sorry chicken plate with maybe half of a chicken thigh and what looks like a quarter cup of rice. Do not waste your time.

    Hands down the best BBQ in Vegas. I crave this place often!!!…read more I esp love the burnt ends. The pork ribs and sausage are my next favorite. Brisket is delicious too. You seriously cannot go wrong. I've yet to try the shrimp or turkey or chicken. The sides are all delicious too. My favs are the coleslaw. It has a mild honey mustard flavor which I love. The eggplant is insane. It has an Asian flavor which is my favorite. Corn muffins are fire and the pickles are delicious and available to buy by the jar which I have multiple times. They have some daily specious too like the burger which is fire. The musabi is soooo good. I wish they had it everyday. The pastrami sandwich is so good too. Is thick cut like brisket and doesn't taste like regular pastrami but still so good. I love this place

    I keep coming back, which says something in itself…read more Every Thursday they feature burgers, and they always have their signature Dandan: two 100% brisket patties quick-fried in tallow, topped with cheddar cheese and Dandan sauce on a butter-griddled brioche bun. This week they also offered two specials -- the Oklahoma (Dandan with grilled onions) and the Jalapeño Oklahoma (Dandan with grilled onions and jalapeños). The Dandan has been on my list for a while, so I finally pulled the trigger. I called around 11:30 a.m. and was promptly helped by a friendly employee. After a quick chat about which of the three was best, I went with the Jalapeño Oklahoma and a side of Brussels sprouts. I've had the sprouts before and really liked them -- they felt like a slightly healthier alternative to the usual fried sides. (Though when I arrived to pick up my order, it seemed like everyone else was happily devouring onion rings, which made me second-guess that choice.) As expected, there was a line stretching out the door. I quickly realized I was the only one actually waiting outside. Several people walked straight in, bypassed the line, and got helped right away. Turns out a group of 3-4 people had already ordered and were just hanging out inside in the AC while they waited. Lesson learned: if you've already placed your order, just walk in next time. While I waited, the staff brought out an ice-cold cup of their fresh cantaloupe juice. It's very sweet and genuinely delicious -- highly recommend. I took everything to go and ate at home, so I can't speak to temperature. The burger was big and loaded with meat and cheese -- you couldn't really see the jalapeños or onions at first, but they announced themselves with the first bite. The brisket patties cooked in tallow deliver a deep, rich beef flavor. They're a little firmer than a standard burger (as expected with brisket), so if you're someone who likes a lot of vegetables and toppings, this might not be your ideal burger. But if you're after a straight-up, beef-forward, no-frills experience, you won't be disappointed. The Brussels sprouts were excellent as always -- perfectly balanced with a sweet-tangy balsamic glaze. Let's be honest... I'll definitely be back. Next time I'm trying the classic Dandan -- and those onion rings.

The pork ribs are wonderfully juicy and packed with deep flavor, pairing nicely with the complimentary sweet BBQ sauce even though they do not strictly need it. Unlike most places where the pulled pork dries out, this one stays remarkably moist and savory throughout. Chili (4/5): A very unique side that is much thinner and more watery than a traditional chili, holding a texture closer to a thin spaghetti sauce. Despite the looser consistency, it is absolutely packed with a variety of delicious smoked meats in every single bite. Mac and Cheese (5/5): An exceptional side dish and a clear favorite of the meal. It's incredibly rich, creamy, and distinctively flavored with sharp cheddar, which gives it a much bolder and more satisfying punch than standard restaurant mac and cheese. Corn Bread (5/5): This side functions almost like a dessert, boasting an incredibly sweet, vanilla cake like taste. The high level of sweetness provides a nice contrast to the intense salt, smoke, and savory flavors of the massive meat plate. Logistics Tip: Parking is limited but manageable between the two adjacent lots, and there is a clean restroom on site. To help beat the intense heat, they generously provide complimentary bottles of ice cold water. Keep in mind that they hosted live music on the late Saturday morning that we went. While it adds a fun, energetic backyard vibe, it can get incredibly loud and makes chatting with friends difficult, so you may want to bring ear protection or plan your arrival time accordingly.

The sausage was a jalapeño cheddar sausage. For my side, I had mac & cheese and coleslaw. To start off, this is a great place. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars I would but I like to round up. Brisket is really good but a little dry in the mouth. Great Smoky flavor. The mouth-feel was just a little off. It was a little dry, but not bad. The pulled pork was wonderful. Nice Smoky flavor. Nice and tender and juicy. Felt great to chew in my mouth and did not feel dry. A+ for the Pork. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was amazing. Really well done. Flavor was great texture was great. Just a little kick, which was great. I always wish there was more kick, but I understand you got a cater to your customers. One thing I was kind of concerned about was the temperature of the coleslaw. It should be really cold, but it was just kind of a little bit of above lukewarm, but not really cold. Coleslaw should be cold. The mac & cheese was pretty good. Needs a little bit more liquid in it but the flavor was awesome. And it looks like they prepackage the Mac 'n cheese in containers and then sprinkle some cheese on top. That's a nice touch, but it makes the whole container of mac & cheese dry out. They only have one barbecue sauce. It was pretty good. But to me the best way to judge barbecue is if it doesn't eat barbecue sauce. And this did not need barbecue sauce. It was just a nice addition. Great ambience. Great music playing. Very clean and well kept area. I would definitely come back when I'm on this side of town.
