Just wanna say thank you for hosting our wedding venue. All my guests were surprise and thankful it wasn’t the typical food choice that they experienced at different wedding events. A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU to CHEF DARCY and his team for making it a smooth transaction. Thank you a million. – Gary Dombrigue

Hello Allie,

Just wanted to let you know that we LOVED our experience at Island Flavor. The food was great…from the salad to the wonderful entree followed by the dessert.  And that was only topped by the great customer service we received. They were friendly, fun, efficient, and got things going in an orderly and timely manner. Also, we loved the live music. That was awesome. Again, thanks to all of you.

We will be back if you will have us.

This place reminds me of back home (Hawaii). As soon as you walk in you are taken back to the islands. The music, the food aroma and the aloha. We started with the Furikaki Fries and the Hawaiian Poke. Both were excellent and a must have. I had the combo plate with Furikaki Chicken and Kalbi. The Kalbi was tender and well flavored and the Chicken was great as well. My only mistake was not ordering a double Mac salad instead of two scoops of rice. My wife got the Kalua pig plate. The haupia that came with her plate was a good portion as well. Most places that serve haupia only give a small taste but this was enough for two people to share. Island Favor is a great place to come for great food with large portions. Great waitstaff too. They were very nice helping us with whatever we needed. The waitress even got my wife some chili pepper water for her kalua pig.

If you are ever hungry for local food with big portions this is the place.

I love Hawaiian food. It’s usually very affordable and the portions tend to be generous. The flavors are suitable to my tastes as well. I don’t remember anything particularly standing out about this Island Flavor, but overall it is a solid Hawaiian food establishment.

Gigantic portions that you can easily eat for dinner later. I ordered the teriyaki chicken salad which came with freshly fried wonton strips, tomatoes, small slices of purple potato and cucumber.

I liked my salad and if you ignore the strips and use the dressing sparingly, it can be quite healthy!

I want to come back to try their Kailua pork, furikake shrimp and more.

My favorite Hawai’ian spot in Vegas! I LOVE going here. (Prefer this location over the express location near me, in Henderson.) There are a variety of local kine grindz to choose from that are a unique to this place.

You wouldn’t really think about going to a Hawaiian restaurant for a burger, but I LOVE their Big Burger! You’re probably wondering, “Really?! Why?” There’s a unique seasoning they use in the ground meat that makes it one of the best burgers I’ve had so far in Las Vegas. The patty is thick and seasoned well, served with thick cut fries.

My go-tos are the furukaki chicken and furikake shrimp. They usually have the Hawaiian plate on Fridays, and other daily specials. Check out their white board near the front.

You can also make your plates low carb by asking for mixed veggies (sliced and sauteed squash) instead of rice and macaroni salad.

Make sure to save room for dessert or take it to go ;-). They have an amazing Kona Coffee Mud Pie, which is my go-to. Goes great with the Kona coffee they serve. They have a great list of other desserts as well.

In December, they had Punalu’u French Toast!!! So ono! (So good/delicious!) It’s definitely a must try. It’s made with bread from the Punalu’u Bakery, the Southernmost bakery in the USA, on the Big Island at an area called South Point (the southernmost point in the USA.) They also sell loaves of it next door, at the Island Flavor Market.

** Note: Or they use to! 🙁 Found out on my last visit they don’t sell Punalu’u bread anymore. (Please bring it back, if can! 🙂 )

TIP:  Also check out their market next door for Hawaiian food, snacks, slippahs, 100% Kona coffee, chocolates, t-shirts, hats etc.

There’s always that Aloha service here from all the staff and it definitely makes me feel like I’m home.

**I noticed on my last visit a week ago, that the portions were smaller, and some prices went up. I hope they go back to the serving size they had before. Mahalo. Still my favorite place to get Hawai’ian local kine grindz!
