    Let's start with the hospitality.. 10/10! The owner is so nice. He helped get us settled at a table with my toddler & made it feel like we were back home in Hawaii. Not gonna lie, some of the reviews on here worried me a little but we had Bowlz a while ago when they were still in the food court and loved it then. They're a lot closer to our home now & we're so glad! We ordered a lechon kawali, laulau, garlic chicken, and meatjun. The lechon kawali was nice and crispy. The sauce for it wasn't traditional, but it complimented the lechon well with the onions and tomatoes. The laulau was good too! My almost-2 year old loved it. The garlic chicken was saucy but still crunchy, and not at all dry. The meat Jun had so much flavor! We'll definitely be back.. often!

    Fried chicken side

    Food is awesome! Portions were good enough for the price to pay! Met the owner and he was a cool, nice guy! Looking forward to the new "Night" menu items starting next month! If you are a local islander and want some great eats, check them out in So. Highlands! Cant wait to try more and I'll be back.

    Another local style 808 all comfort food opened in Vegas. I can never complain about in life. Time back in the days few and far between. Now so many hard to keep up with in and out. Bowlz heard about from foodie friend also from 808. She telling me actually at another spot before moved to this new one. So we all meet up checkout. It little hard to find at night. I actually drove by it going around the shopping mall that located in. They have banner sign out front but with black background and night could miss. Once u find it going love it! The menu has such nice diversity. They have whole breakfast menu separate from regular menu. It has all norms Portuguese sausage eggs and rice. Lot more. I meet up friends for dinner so the regular menu. They have so much classics hard to pick one first visit. I settled on meat Jun. awesome. Everything was on point. Friends ordered Saimin, fried rice, and garlic chicken. All looked like da bomb. They enjoyed there food. Spam Musubi side action. Interesting. Four different ones that different twist. I got two of them. Poke action looks solid. So definitely need to go back. Just wish closer to my side of town. Service five stars!! Everyone contact with friendly, attentive, and for sure showing the aloha.

    First time ordering here and will be the last . Ordered the Pulehu Short Ribs, which on Uber Eats is $29.52! They were completely charred and tasted like beef jerky. If I'm ordering food from any place that charges that amount , I should get what I ordered and should not be burnt! Thanks to UberEats they gave me my money back for the Pulehu Short Ribs, a total of $33.47! If they are meant to be this charred , then call them charred Pulehu Short Ribs!

    First time here

    It was our first time here and it was ok. Did I order the right stuff? Maybe not. We ordered a couple of poke bowl, spicy ago and limy shoyu, they were ok. I need more flavor. The mochico chicken was ok. My wife said it needed more flavor. Again, this was take out, I will consider it. We do want to try it again but dine in. This is just my opinion. Hopefully it will change when we dine in... but the service was amazing. 5 Stars on the customer service.

    Loco moco (overeasy eggs, extra gravy)
    Juvanny J.

    Absolutely incredible Hawaiian food. We tried the loco moco, and bbq chicken/chicken katsu combo with noodles. First, the loco moco: everything was delectable and perfectly flavorful. The two beef patties were cooked perfectly. The gravy was hearty, the way it should be. The eggs (i always get overeasy) were actually cooked correctly. The portions were huge and definitely worth the price. The katsu chicken/bbq chicken combo with noodles: the chicken katsu was cooked perfectly. A lot of places tend to give you overcooked chicken that barely contains any chicken. Bowlz chicken katsu has the perfect ratio of chicken to panko crumbs so neither is overwhelmed by the other. The bbq chicken was also flavorful. It's obvious they use top-quality meat for their dishes. The noodles were also delicious. Perfectly cooked and paired well with the bbq chicken especially. The sides were got were also good. We got the mac salad and kimchi. The service was also great. The people at the register were friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was okay. Just a quick eatery-style seating. Overall, this was a great experience and I will definitely be returning to try other items the next time I'm craving Hawaiian food.

    Meat Jun & Hibachi chicken combo! And inamona crunch ahi poke on the side
    Crystal R.

    First timer here! Been meaning to try it out since it's only up the road from our place and my brother & his friends told me to try it out. Got the hibachi chicken cause I heard it was similar to Bobs from back in Hawaii. Gotta agree it does taste just like it. My sons were enjoying it! Also found another spot to enjoy fresh poke. You can tell they use fresh fish. Will definitely be back. Another piece of home just around the corner

    Where did the spam go on this side??

    I'm so sad that this review is coming out the way it is. Everyone can have a bad day and I hope this is that day. I've been excited to try this place since I saw online that they're reopening. It's not close to me, but I was somewhat near the area and decided to try today. Ooops. Staff are very helpful and friendly, but today's food was not what I was expecting given what you see on their IG or from other pics on here. First, one of my orders was incorrectly put together. I did call to let them know of the error and after suggesting that driving back today was not an option, they did offer a refund of that dish. Thank you for that. Now for the food I did get, as you can see from the pic of my mochiko chicken, my regular plate looks sparse compared to other pics of the same dish on here where the food was overflowing. One of my pieces was actually just chicken skin. Other pics show these huge pieces of chicken, I didn't get any of them. The flavor on the chicken was nice and the chicken was juicy, I just wish there was what I think most of us would consider an acceptable sized serving for the $16 price. The poke was good on the paina plate, but I should've just gone with poke bowl. I'm not a fan of lomi salmon, so it is what it is. The mac salad is mayo forward, but missing some flavor. I am a fan of Kalua Pig, but that didn't make it, so I can't report back. The musubi was disappointing in the sense that the spam didn't make it all the way through the entire piece. Rice was a little hard and while the spam was flavored nicely, it just didn't hit it. I'm willing to give second chances, but I'm not going to go out of my way to do it. I'll keep an eye on here for the experience of others to see if it's a trend or a one off. And to figure out what I should have gotten! Sorry this isn't what I was hoping for.

    Salmon Inari SOOOO GOOD
    Candice S.

    I saw videos of this place on TikTok! I drove so many times not seeing it was even there. I finally had the chance to visit and it did not disappoint. It wanted to try something new and they had Inari which I highly recommend! Im mad I lived so long never knowing of inari until tonight. We also ordered the garlic chicken and roast pork with gravy. Wow!! Everything was great! They actually have the best mac salad I ever tried! We will definitely be back because there was so much on the menu we wanted to try.

    Situated next to Baskin Robbins and the Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Southern Highlands in the Southern Highlands Marketplace Plaza, many may recognize the location as were Dragon Tiger Noodle once was. The interior had only a few changes from the old business, and their signage outside was just a Vinyl banner. We were headed to Baskin Robbins when we spotted it. The service was great - we only ordered to go, but we were quickly greeted when we walked in, offered a seat as we waited, and the server at the counter did a great job remembering our names and wished us a warm farewell when we left with our food. The food was good - The Lechon Kawali was a bit dry but had good flavor with the provided sauces, the rice was a little mushy. The Kalua pig was fairly salty too, but their menu had so many options that I want to try their other offerings. I will say, my daughter said this was the best spam musubi she's had among the other restaurants that offer it in the area.

    I was so excited to try this place but was extremely disappointed I had been following this place on Instagram for quite some time so I was expecting a lot more I ordered a Poké bowl with two different kinds I usually go to pokey express, but because it was late. I decided to try this place, and because I was in the area my hopes were very high when I was chatting with the guy. I told him I usually do a pokey express, but I've always wanted to try this place. I really don't like a place that insults another business when I told him that I usually go there he immediately bashed poking express and was like oh no they're not. They're not good. We know them they use frozen fish, blah, blah blah blah. Since I had already ordered, I didn't really say anything. I got my my bowl and drove all the way home and I must say it was absolutely disgusting. The pokey had no flavor. Some of it was hard. I don't even know how that happens I trash my bowl and wasted $30. I will not come back that is for certain based on the food and based on the fact that they were just bashing another business. So sad because I really wanted to like this place and in the pictures and videos, it looks absolutely delicious, but I was just so disappointed

    Andagi and garlic chicken musubi
    Emerson R.

    Another Hawaii food joint to choose from when selecting my "Where to eat" choices. I love the location as it's on my way to or from wherever route I am taking that day, which seems to be daily. The crew behind the scenes are amazing! They time my order perfect whenever I call in for the food to be picked up. Their garlic chicken is unique and ono in a good way. It's as if it's kim chee- fused. Which makes it unique. I 100% approve. Their chicken katsu and burgers are solid. We always order their slush float, which also brings nostalgia from the days of Andy's and Byron Drive Inn. Oh. And they also have andagi (japanese donut). Another staple of comfort food from the islands. Ive prioritized this establishment to where I have to go here every week for something. Even if its just for one or two things such as a couple of musubis and/or andagi. These guys rock!

    We made a stop to Bowlz on our way out of Vegas to California. Craving for some Hawaiian local food. Bowlz is a fast food restaurant. My husband placed our order and talking story with the workers and apparently the owner's family owns side street inn in Hawaii. I was so excited to taste the food! Plus I was really hungry at this point. We got the loco moco, meat Jun/ fried chicken combo, and fresh poke and side of mac salad. Everything tasted authentic, loved the gravy on the loco moco, so good with the mac! I also loved the Hawaiian style poke. Definitely hit the spot for me! I was missing the food and in Vegas there are quite a lot of good quality Hawaiian food spots. I enjoyed the food at Bowlz and the portions are reasonable. Since we shared everything, it is good that it was enough to feed our family of 4. Good eats for sure.

Served with tasty crab potato salad and kimchi. Also had Fried Noodles (mini, $7.28), the egg noodles are delicious, topped with chopped scallions and kamaboko (Japanese fish cake), it's really good! Spam Musubi ($4.16) is tasty! It does need sauce and there are condiments like soy sauce and hot sauce available on the table. For a lovely treat, they make the best Japanese Milk Pudding, it's delightful and not too sweet! I ordered a regular ($5.20) and tried Ube flavor ($5.20), both are yummy! Ube flavor is so good! The milk pudding has a delicate, silky, bouncy texture, and comes with a sweet Japanese syrup. The milk pudding on its own is so YUM! The syrup itself is very sweet, so only pour a little bit. They also have fun cookies on display locally sourced from The Cookie Bar. I tried Crème Brûlée Cookie ($4.50), it's a huge sugar cookie with a beautiful crisp glaze and is very sweet. MacDaddy Cookie ($4.50) is excellent, it has white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, this one taste great! Service from Koltyn and Zadus is very kind, welcoming, polite, and friendly!

Ribs were as they always are. The only thing today, was that the boxes didn't feel as full as they normally do. Only got 4 ribs today and they weren't all that meaty. The pig dish wasn't full to the brim either. Also, prices have gone up from the menu, so seeing higher prices (totally understandable) and less food was a little disappointing.

His cousin couldn't stop raving about the food, so we decided to check it out for dinner last night. We ordered the Crackhead Chicken and Da "OG" Beef to share, and I also got a Spam musubi I had been craving. The musubi was HUGE and really hit the spot. We also ordered a side of Crackhead Chicken without the spice for our 1 year old, and she LOVED it. Normally she throws her food, but this time she actually ate it and kept making the cutest "yummy" faces the whole time. The moment I took my first bite of chicken, my reaction said it all. The flavor was INCREDIBLE! It had a perfect balance of sweetness from the coconut and a nice kick from the spices. Everything worked so well together, and the chicken itself was unbelievably moist and juicy. I also loved that the meat was served over the rice, allowing for all the juices to soak in. The rice was soft, flavorful, and just as satisfying. The macaroni salad was hands down my favorite compared to any Hawaiian BBQ spot I've tried. I also had a few bites of the beef, which had an amazing flavor and just the right amount of char to elevate it even more. The only thing that didn't stand out to me was the coleslaw, but we found out later that you can substitute for extra macaroni salad for an additional 50 cents. We will definitely do that next time! Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will absolutely be back whenever we are in the area. One quick note for parents: there are no high chairs available, and we even searched the entire food court. Since it's inside a casino, it's understandable, but just something to keep in mind.
