    If you're craving authentic Hawaiian food, this place seriously delivers The garlic chicken is hands down our favorite--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned every single time. It's the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. What really makes it special though is the atmosphere. The Hawaiian music playing in the background instantly gives you that laid-back island vibe, like you've been transported back home to Hawaii. It's warm, comforting, and just feels right. Great food, great vibes, and definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to

    Furikake Chicken plate (Rice and Mac Salad)
    Monique W.

    Definitely one of the top spots for Hawaiian food in Las Vegas. If you're craving Hawaiian food, you should stop here. Generations Kitchen was on my Yelp collection list for a long time, and finally, my family had a chance to stop by for lunch! This restaurant is located in the Spring Valley area. It's a casual spot with authentic island style food! The menu offers a wide range of plate lunch favorites. Some of the dishes include the following -Garlic Chicken -Loco Moco -Chicken Katsu -BBQ Chicken and so much more! Generations Kitchen also offers fresh poke, ahi katsu, and other seafood options! You can get some favorites, like Spam Masubi, to snack on later in the day! We ended getting the following from Generation's Kitchen -Loco Moco with scrambled egg on top and rice -Furikake Chicken plate (Rice and Mac Salad) The food was delicious! The Loco Moco patty was scrumptious, tender and super flavorful! There was so much gravy on it too! My husband enjoyed the Furikake Chicken plate. The chicken was perfectly fried and so yummy! I had a few bites! The portions are large and the food is so good here! The team members are friendly and helpful! I highly recommend stopping by here if you're looking for some amazing Hawaiian Food! A hidden treasure with amazing food!

    Poke Nachos (partially eaten)
    Anne N.

    This gem is a little hard to find since it sits within a business complex, so keep a look-out for the sign! It's definitely worth a little searching and a stop if you're looking for a good meal. It's spacious with open seating. You order at the counter and grab a seat while you wait for your order to be called for pick-up. The staff is incredibly welcoming and kind. Everything on the menu honestly sounded so good that it was hard to pick. The portions are pretty generous, so come hungry or ready to share with friends! I was lucky enough to have been with a big group, so I was able to try a little bit of several items. Some items worth mentioning: 1. Poke nachos - DELICIOUS. You get to pick which poke you want to top the wonton chips. They also let you sample the poke first, so be prepared when you get to the register and make your decision promptly to not hold up the line. 2. Hurricane chicken - literally so much flavor.

    Spam fried rice and a spam musubi
    Hank P.

    What a great find! I lucked into this place after finding a geocache nearby. Nice, clean little restaurant tucked away in an industrial area. The service was friendly, the food came quickly and the Spam fried rice was exactly what I needed! Highly recommend and would love to come back on my next visit to Vegas.

    Delicious Hawaiian food in a business park not far from highway 15 in southern Vegas. We grabbed food on our way out of town. Everything was made fresh and so tasty! Total local spot. Nice change of pace from all the crazy Vegas restaurants.

    I enjoy coming here for local food. I noticed they changed their menu a little and its nice. I really like the girl working in the front because she's always welcoming and provides great service. Definitely gives off Aloha Vibes its always clean in there and spacious. I dont have to worry about saving a table. Try the garlic chicken and the furikake chicken.

    Breakfast Plate with Portuguese sausage
    Cheryl W.

    I stopped here for breakfast and got the Portuguese sausage with eggs and rice. The portion size was great and the price as well! I definitely want to come back and try their other things. My food came out fast and hot. This place is in an industrial area so it's a bit harder to spot, but definitely worth it to check out. The staff were nice as well.

    We had garlic chicken, furikake chicken, loco moco, meat jhun, poke and they were all soooooo good! It's away from the strip but worth the drive. Service was awesome. They had great suggestions and took great care of us!! Come try!!! You won't be disappointed.

    Hurricane Chicken and Ahi Katsu
    Ke'olina P.

    Anytime I want of taste of home this is my favorite place to come!! From their poke nachos to their hurricane chicken this place never leaves me disappointed!! My top three go-tos have to be the hurricane chicken if I want something saucy with a crunch. Next would be their loco moco if I want comfort food. Last line of defense that's never failed me, their meat jun especially with their sauce!! Their food is always packed with flavor and most time their portions can feed me twice!! I can't count the amount of times I've come with family to dine in or to place a take out order to go. This place is always on it and service is efficient. It can get pretty busy depending on what time you're coming in but I've never found the wait time to be too crazy. There is also a solid amount of seating so whether you're here for a quick lunch break or having a meal with friends/family they've got the space. My heart hurts knowing that they'll be heading back home at some point (they haven't released an official date yet) but til then I'll do my best to support and get my fill of all the onolicious food this place as to offer while I still can!!

    Furikake Chicken Plate (April 2025)
    Alan G.

    Read a story about Generations Kitchen being a go to place for some top chefs in Vegas, so I knew I needed to try it the next time I was there. It's off the strip on the corner of a business complex and sort of easy to miss if you aren't mapping using an online map app. Arrived around 1:30 pm in the afternoon on a weekday, and there were about 4 tables filled. The decor was streamlined, with a menu above the ordering area. They offer several classic lunch plate options, and we opted to try the furikake chicken, garlic chicken, and loco moco. The large portion of furikake chicken was nicely fried and well seasoned, sitting on a bed of white rice, with another scoop of white rice topped with furikake seasoning and a side of mac salad. The garlic chicken also had an excellent garlic flavor and crunch. The mac salad was creamy but was not as seasoned for our palate compared with other places. The loco moco had beautifully cooked over easy eggs and the beef patty was tender but a little overcooked and could have used more seasoning. A large volume of brown gravy covered the patty and rice which was great, but the gravy didn't taste homemade. We were disappointed that there was no poke or spam musubi available as they ran out early that day. Good selection of Hawaiian Sun sodas and various bottled drinks, but a bit of a bummer that they didn't have free ice water. Overall, despite a few misses, I would definitely come back to try other menu options and hopefully get there to try their poke and spam musubi as well.

    I loved: Garlic Chicken I do not recommend: Poke Bowl The garlic chicken is crispy, tender, and packed with flavor. Definitely #goodeats and easily something I'd come back for. The rice and mac salad that come with it are just okay. Pretty plain, nothing memorable, but they do the job as sides. Tried the poke bowl too, and honestly, it was a letdown. The poke itself was a bit too salty, and the bowl was basically just a mountain of rice with fish on top. No extra toppings, sides, or variety that I usually expect from a good poke bowl. It felt really one-dimensional. I highly recommend sticking to the garlic chicken. It is worth the trip alone. Will definitely skip the poke next time. The inside is pretty unassuming and the service is standard.

    Hamburger Steak Plate
    Michelle S.

    Incredible service and Hawaiian food. We were in Vegas for 5 days and decided to check out Generation Kitchen as it was close to our condo We asked for suggestions and boy was she spot on. We got the garlic chicken and it was incredible. The chicken was so tender and beautifully breaded and seasoned with garlic bits. It was delicious! We enjoyed it so much that I had to try another item. I ordered the homemade hamburger steak with gravy and onions. Both were so good! Generation Kitchen closes early (6PM I think) and are not open on Sunday. We had late games midtown and were not able to get back in time so unfortunately had to trytwo other so called Hawaiian restaurants and were so disappointed. GK set the bar so high that those restaurants did could not even compare. If you are reading this, go check them out as you will we pleasantly surprised I can wait to visit Vegas again & GK will be my first stop once I exit the airport.

Dining area is small but there's adequate seating for a table, by the window, and along the wall. Menu offers a great selection of chicken, shrimp, steaks, salmon, ahi, pork, as well as Hawaiian plates, island favorites, fried noodles, and poke. I ordered my go-to for Dynamite Chicken Katsu (mini, $13.52), its crispy breaded chicken, meat is tender and moist, has amazing wasabi aioli and spicy sauce drizzle, very savory and wonderfully delicious! 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!

Heard good things about this place and wanted to try lots of things so we got two combo plates. First combo was the garlic chicken with shoyu poke. Being from Hawaii this was as close to home as you can get on the mainland. The chicken was nice and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. The poke was spot on as if it was flown in from Hawaii. Second combo was the ahi katsu and meat jun. Katsu wasn't too crispy since there was a lot of sauce but the flavor was pretty good and ahi was cooked well. The meat jun was soft and seasoned well too. Overall, great to have this place when you want local Hawaii style foods as someone who is from Hawaii. Good variety and everything on the menu was pretty good and very filling. Definitely felt the kanak attack after we finished eating!

The Kalua pig was a very tasty version. One of the better ones I've had in town for my taste. Not too smoky, felt like it was roasted for a long time. The meat was still intact but tender. 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.
