    I have been going to vanilla rice for the last couple of months and I always appreciated the fact that they made everything fresh and to order, and gave a really big portions making it worth the price. But this time I cannot say that they delivered the same excellence I'm used to. I ordered a plate with steak, salmon and I added chicken. I requested fried rice with NO EGG and that my steak be cooked to a medium temperature. What I got was a plate that had fried rice with egg, steak that was over cooked at a well done temp and salmon that was hard as a rock and dry. None of my food was made to order and even the vegetables were undercooked and very crunchy, I was so disappointed because I'm spending $50+ on this meal and the least they can do is make everything fresh and to order to make it worth the price. I have had a much better experience at the flamingo location but the Charleston location has been hit or miss so I won't be returning to that location. There's plenty of seating if you'd like to eat in, I will say the music is good but a bit loud for a restaurant environment. The service is always top notch and I love the friendly ladies that work in the front.

    Small place and good vibes! I was impressed by the service though. Asha who was the cashier came out of her area and made an effort to talk to us about the menu and explain how it works. Great customer service! Food tasted great. Learned about this place on Instagram.

    To all my fellow Vegas locals and anyone visiting from out of town -- if you're looking for great food and a chill vibe, you have to check out Vanilla Rice Hibachi! You might not get the traditional hibachi show, but trust me -- the food is the show! The owner, Zach, is an awesome guy, and the atmosphere is just super cool and welcoming. Our server George was so kind and made us feel right at home. We ordered the steak and shrimp plate -- it was so good it disappeared in like 15 minutes. And do not skip the yum yum sauce -- oh my gosh, I'm obsessed! 10/10 -- Highly recommend!

    Combo shrimp & steak with half fried rice & half noodles

    First time was yesterday and I wanted to try this place out. A lovely woman assisted me by helping me order my food on their kiosk. The place is quaint and empty when I arrived. Now, for my honest review: Food is bomb.com - I absolutely loved it. Will I return? That is the question. Even though I love the food here's the reason why I am unsure of returning: -The prices was $36 dollars and some change but it ended up 46.16 (including tip) for just this plate alone. -There is an upsurge charge for getting half noddles which is a $1.00 more. However the plate had more rice and less noodles. So if you want more noodles, my suggestion would be to opt for all noodles. -The veggies were supposed to be zucchini and broccoli (however it was zucchini & onions and no broccoli) In my opinion, the food is absolutely delicious and I give them that but I cannot see myself spending almost $50 for a single plate. The lovely woman who helped me made me feel comfortable with her excellent customer service & therefore, I give this place 4 out 5 stars not just for the food but for her excellent customer service,

    $50 disappointing dollars

    I'm gonna give a very very honest review... I seen this place on TikTok I thought it looked so good and I had to try it so I came and first of all it was so expensive plates were $30+ bowls were $24+ ...... off the bat so expensive but I was there so I ordered the steak and shrimp which was almost $50!!!!!!!!! With the tip already included?!?!?!? Anyways it came out and I was pissed and so disappointed I paid for a huge thing of rice and the tiniest bit of steak and a few shrimps ... it didn't look anything like the video the owner had in his hand .. so disappointing it took every ounce in me not to say anything.. the taste was alright but if you gonna charge that much atleast cover that pound of rice in the plate ... idk I won't ever recommend this place u less you have money to waste ... super disappointed his TikTok is false advertising really. $50 for that....

    Do not delay coming to Vanilla Rice Hibachi!!! The seasoning and portions of the meal were perfect in my opinion. I went with the steak and shrimp combo w/ Potstickers and let me tell you I was extremely happy. Service was friendly, quick and the whole vibe was just right. Cannot wait to run it back and try even more options from this awesome establishment. Keep up the amazing work!!! Dont forget to ask for extra sauce cause we couldn't get enough lol. Thank you,

    Service was good the counter person was nice and explained everything . Inside had plenty of tables .They made and bottle their own lemonade , which I thought was fun and different . I got the steak burrito with extra steak . It was good size and had nice size pieces of steak. Food is made to order so prepare to wait awhile , I felt it was worth it. My only issue was that the prices seemed very high for what was offered . Otherwise not a bad spot for lunch .

    Back in the nineties, Vanilla Rice introduced Hibachi Hip Hop to our culture when he released his one-hit wonder 'Rice Rice Baby', which sampled beats from the song 'Under Pressure Cooker'. Since then he's expanded into the food business and he can obviously prepare real good food as well as drop rhymes. Burritos might not be your typical Japanese fare, but when filled with excellent hibachi-grilled meats and veggies they become a nice change from the ordinary. You also can't go wrong with a bowl or larger-sized plate, both with a large mound of fried rice underneath a good-sized portion of meat and an assortment of grilled broccoli, zucchini, and onion. The well-seasoned menu proteins of chicken, shrimp, and steak are all enjoyable...each morsel of steak is tender, flavorful, lacks gristle, and the taste becomes enhanced with home made dipping sauce. The original takeout-only location on East Flamingo has expanded now to a second one on West Charleston, across the street from the CSN campus (Crosby, Stills, & Nash University for those of you new to the area). It's brand new, clean, and has plenty of tables and stools. Vanilla Rice began a few years ago in a pandemic-era food truck and has flourished since then, largely due to word-of-mouth, good chow, and healthy eating compared to many takeout places. They won a Las Vegas Entrepreneur Magazine 'Best Food Truck' award a few years back, so this is legitimate quality food. The staff wears gloves, they sanitize, and they seem like nice people. The owner, Zack, is a personable guy and it's always good to see youngsters in their 20's become successful entrepreneurs. Vanilla Rice is open every day, noon to midnight. Give it a try!

    I had the steak and salmon plate couple days ago and had a steak burrito yesterday that was the best food I've had in my life the cook Ayden he needs to be at 5 star Michelin Restaurant 100% would recommend again and again. The customer service from Zaira was amazing I felt comfortable love the hospitality. I felt very at peace in the restaurant that vibes immaculate.

    Steak & Shrimp combo with fried rice and veggies

    I want to start by saying I've been wanting to try this place for years and I was so excited when one opened closer to me. I happened to be across the street from the Charleston location and decided to try Vanilla Rice because I love hibachi and I was all excited to try the food. I ordered a 2 meat combo with Shrimp & Steak, fried rice and veggies. I also got the spicy garlic edamame. I paid just under $50 for the 2 items. I'll go into more detail about the food but... MY BIG ISSUE IS... the person cooking the food was not in the store when I got there and ordered. The kitchen is open and visible. He came in a few minutes after I ordered and immediately got to cooking. HE DID NOT WASH HIS HANDS and put on one glove, scraped the grill and began cooking. He went to the POS system and touched the POS with his gloved hand and then went back to cooking without changing gloves or washing his hands!! After cooking the main course, He then made my edamame with NO gloves and no hand washing!!! Overall the food was okay. I ordered medium rare steak and it was probably closer to medium well. The portion of shrimp was small. You get A LOT of rice. The spicy garlic edamame wasn't very flavorful and was unevenly cooked. Some were mushy and some were hard. I want to give it another shot. Maybe at the other location because I was so excited to try it. But I'm just really disappointed to see someone walk in from doing who knows what outside the store and then coming in and starting to handle food. The woman working there was nice. The place was dead and even though she was talking with a friend she still was attentive to me

    This place is mid at best, none of the food had any flavor even though it appeared to be seasoned. Literally the fried rice would have been better if it was plain white rice. If you call they tell you it's take out only and no phone orders, online or in person only. The inside has a few tables and ZERO air conditioning, my food said it'd be ready between 3:20-3:30 so I went in at 3:16 being optimistic, food wasn't ready till 3:35 which wouldn't have bothered me at all had I not been sweating. I was really excited for this place but probably won't bother going back.

    Shrimp with fried rice
    Elexus M.

    FIRE! The food was one of the best hibachi spots I've had. Especially in Vegas. Johnny was the cook and made sure my food was fresh and flavorful. Nisha had great customer service and was really sweet. I loved the friendliness I felt when I walked in. Music playlist set the ambiance. I do wish they offered like a spicy garlic butter, that would have been a great option for a sauce. But all in all 5 stars! Food was definitely worth it! They offered a good amount of shrimp but I took a picture too late after already digging in

    Wow,wow,wow!!!!! Great, delicious food with amazing taste, and the atmosphere was perfect! Johnny and Nesha gave outstanding customer service -- so attentive and friendly. Off the Vegas strip, but worth the visit they will not disappoint!

The reason I wouldn't recommend them is because I didn't enjoy the food. There was too much teriyaki going on and when I requested that my food not have it, there was a big todo about it. He made the fried rice first and when he served it there were chunks of rice that were not broken down and "fried", also the dish was sweet. I'm not sure why he or the business makes this choice. I think that most people, like I, expect fried rice to be soy based and salty. After realizing that this was the unusual cooking choice being made I asked about the vegetables which were up next. He said they'd have teriyaki. WHY?! So I requested that he please give me mine before adding the sauce and that it could even not have anything on it. Just no teriyaki. I'm not going to get into the fun and games that he put me through to not have teriyaki, but I just wasn't in the mood. Then I had chicken and shrimp and they were both teriyaki free and enjoyable. By that time though, I was irritated by the experience and didn't feel much like eating. I can say that with our large group of ladies which I believe was 20, that there were mixed reviews. My husband and I love to entertain and we've ordered mobile services to our home before, such as the Taco Man. I wouldn't order this service due to the lack of traditional flavors.
