Finally came back to try Matiki again. We have actually been back a few other times, but they were out of ribs, and the ribs ARE the thing to get here, so waited until the Ribs were available. The order came out quickly today, which likely means the ribs were already prepared and given the last char on the grill before serving. That's fine to make sure the ribs are cooked enough to easily eat. I have to say that my recollection of the taste of the ribs was better before the last few times going. Not sure if the sauce is different or maybe there was just less sauce. Still a great bite, but didn't have that taste that made me craving more. As well, maybe the mac/potato salad is only mac salad now, as I didn't get any potato this time. These are still the best ribs in town I've found. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - Upon the revisit, we had some large ribs! - Hawaiian Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Well...my daughter wanted food from Matiki. She was craving mac salad but they were out. So I went to a Hawaiian spot close by to get her mac salad. I had placed the order for the chicken box online so we took that. After I asked for my dollar back for the mac salad add-on, they offered me a canned or fountain drink. Nice of them to do so. As far as the bbq chicken...my daughter says it's undercooked. YUCK. I told her I'd toss it in the pan to cook it for her... Not the experience I was hoping for. The people working there looked tired and overworked. The manager was nice. I'm wanting to find some good things to say. However...I'm having a hard time doing so. Maybe I caught them on a bad night. It's Thursday evening, slow. The restaurant is very clean. So that's something...right? *Update: The chicken wasn't really undercooked as we initially thought. It was just a bit rubbery lol. So I'm going to add another star to go from two stars to three stars because there was a clear effort there :) read more

Yessss more Hawaiian food in Henderson!!!! Thank you for opening here! We need more of these in Henderson. I absolutely love this place especially their original location on Trop.

Best Hawaiian bbq in town. I feel like I got an extra helping when I went in! Not a lot of people there but staff were nice and provided me my to go order.

Matiki Island BBQ - Kalib plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Very solid. I've had most of the protein, chicken and steak plates are great, the kalbi is good and popular but the beef ribs are the biggest draw to the venue I'd say. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - Beef Ribs - Hawaiian Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

First time doing online order. I got a text when the food was ready. It was painless, I choose all Mac no rice and every plate still had rice. Got double mac with every plate. Beef ribs tasty and huge! Big kahuna was very good and a lot of food. They did forget a side order of side salad. so I took off a star. I have to call them to tell them. Food was still great and we had extra Mac to eat it with. I can't speak on ambiance, I sent my kids inside to get it. Thank you Matiki's! read more

I cannot believe that nobody's answered that phone all day. I want to do a pick up order and no one answers the phone. It's ridiculous as this is supposed to be a business with pick up and delivery and I'm sure if I'd go to order now anyways you would be out of beef ribs as you always are. read more

I'm only in Vegas for a few more days and wanted some Matiki's. So we went to the one closer to my son's house. I have never been more disappointed in Matiki's before. First the portion wasn't like the other two locations. And my food was served with cold hard rice. Only two miles from my son's house and I had to heat up the food. The staff wasn't friendly at all and kind of rude. My steak wasn't tender as the other locations. I would have drove an extra 20 minutes I had enough food from the other locations to feed my grandson and myself with enough left over for the next day. Matiki's you really messed up this time. Check my last review! read more

Matiki Island BBQ - Matiki's on Eastern! - Hawaiian Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

The best Hawaiian beef ribs in Vegas hands down!! Can never go wrong ordering the Sam's or Kalbi plate. Can never get enough of their amazkng crack sauce for the meat so always ask for extra! Nice and friendly staff as well! read more

I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate. It comes with 2 scoops of rice and one extra choice of macaroni/potato salad or salad greens. (This extra choice is also the difference between the plate and the box). It was good, but my chicken was still dry even with the teriyaki sauce (main reason I gave 4-stars). The portion size is A LOT. Most people could probably split into 2 portions. If you're a super hungry person, you'll likely finish it and feel very satisfied. Very good value for your money. They did not take long at all to prepare my order, but I also went during a less busy time. Plenty of seating, whether along the bear-like table, open tables, or a long the wall with cushion seats. read more

After seeing Matiki posted all over social media, I knew I had to stop in and try it once their location closest to my home opened. I stopped in on a Friday night to finally try their food. We were greeted right away by the cashier. There was quite a few people waiting for to go orders so I knew it had to be good. We ordered a steak and chicken plate with macaroni potato salad, a single beef rib to try since they're hyped up by all the food bloggers, and a chocolate haupia cake. The dining room was a bit dirty and the music was really loud but we were able to wipe down a table and sit. Our food took a long time to come out but they were extremely busy so it was understandable. The portions are huge. The beef rib was really tender and the meat was sliding off the bone so I can see why they're so popular. The steak and chicken teriyaki were really flavorful. We had enough to take some leftovers home. The chocolate haupia cake was amazing! I'm glad we tried it. It's made by a local bakery here in Vegas. I will definitely order one every time I go. They also sell a lot of Hawaiian candy and treats so if you have any sweet tooth cravings, they got you. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. The food and portions live up to the social media hype. I'll be back. read more

Love this place. I got the number 1. Sam's plate that's the beef rib plate. Absolutely love it. The flavor is a hit and the meat is not super chewy. Perfectly cooked and tender with burnt ends. A good alternative if they run out of the Beef ribs is the steak box. They give so much steak and it's a great deal considering it's $13.25 compared to the Sam's plate which is $17 read more

Matiki Island BBQ - 1. Beef Rib Plate (Sam's Plate) - Hawaiian Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Ordered 2 meals lots of food in each carton! Beef Rib plate and chicken and steak plate. Ribs were huge, lots of fat on them, but the meat was very tasty. Came with Green salad and white rice. Steak was plentiful and good. Chicken was too dry, even dipped in sauce. Mac/potato salad was good and came with white rice. Decent prices and very minimal decor. Service was okay, food came out pretty quick. read more

I really wanted to love this place after seeing all the videos on social media. It was just ok or good. I ordered the BBQ Beef plate. It looks like a massive portion but the ribs were mostly just bones. There was barely any meat and there was more fat than meat on almost all of them. If you're hungry order something else like the steak. My daughter just had spam musubi. Nothing special. Same musubi you get at any Hawaiian place. My husband got the steak and chicken combo. It was good. Our food wasn't bad. It just good. Not good enough that we need to drive out of the way to go there again though. read more

Came here with my family and my brothers family. We ordered a bunch of stuff. Grilled chicken, grilled steak, teriyaki chicken, mac salad, rice, salad. Everything was great! Even better was the customer service, though. The workers were so friendly which makes the experience that much better. read more

I had to pick up something real quick for dinner so I decided to stop by this location since it's close to work. This is their newest restaurant and I think it's the biggest one to dine in. It was super quick in and out ordered 10 pieces of beef ribs. I did notice however there was a really cute painting on the wall I remember palm trees and a beach if not mistaken. read more

Do yourself a favor, get the beef ribs! The prices, quality of food, and efficiency here is just commendable! From jump, the service is friendly and helpful. I had a lot of questions about the desserts and despite not even ordering one, the girl at the counter was happy and willing to educate me. We ordered two orders of beef ribs because for under $20 a plate, it was too good of a deal to miss on. Each portion was definitely hearty and the meat was incredibly juicy, flavorful and tender. I wasn't in love with the Mac salad, personally, but my partner was a big fan on his entire plate. Definitely a great Hawaiian food spot. read more

This was my first time here at the Henderson location. I wanted to get the beef ribs everyone raves about. I had a bite from a friend at the Jones location and was looking forward to having my own plate. I was disappointed. 2 of the ribs were literally all fat. I know that beef ribs are a fatty cut of meat which to me is flavor but this was literally fat and no meat. The other pieces, the rib had barely any meat and it just wasn't seasoned well. At $20 a plate I expect more quality. I did have the Kalbi which was good and seasoned well. I don't care for their Mac salad. It has potatoes in it which to me is just a filler. The Mac salad needs some salt and was a little on the dry side. I believe Everything is made to order because it takes like 20 minutes to get your food. The seating is a little weird. They only have about 8-10 tables and then 1 really long bar stool type of table that seats about 15-20 seats. It's just a little awkward bc you feel like you are imposing on other people sitting across from them. I would come back to try more food but I don't think I would get the ribs again. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - Fatty beef rib, no meat - Hawaiian Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

I couldn't decide between a 3 or 4, so it would be a 3.5. First time here and ordered food to go. It wasn't busy when we arrived and placed our order. We realized although there was only one couple there, they had a lot of food for pick up; but it wasn't too long of a wait. The restaurant was clean and very colorful. They packaged our food well and off we went. The portions are huge. We ordered the Beef Rob Plate and the Chicken & Kalbi Plate. Both plates with Mac & Rice. The food was good but we personally wanted a little more flavor to it. Some of the Beef Ribs didn't have much meat on them but since the portion was oversized it seemed to make up for it on other pieces. The cashier was friendly. It's in a strip mall with lots of parking available. read more

Walking in, the wall mural immediately caught our attention, it was stunning. The lady at the counter was incredibly friendly and helped us place our order. We went with the Big Kahuna, as we were expecting guests, and the portions were generous. She mentioned it could comfortably feed 3-4 people, and it absolutely did. The Big Kahuna included a mix of teriyaki chicken, teriyaki steak, and kalbi ribs, all of which were delicious. You can choose between standard rice or macaroni salad, and we went with all macaroni salad.. so good! We also tried the beef ribs, which did not disappoint; they were flavorful, meaty, and cooked perfectly. The vibe of the place is fantastic, and we really enjoyed the experience. read more

YEEEEESSSSS! Matiki has a few other locations in Vegas, but was so excited to see it finally opened a location in Anthem/ Henderson area. Inside has a beautiful mural just like the other locations and inside is nice and big and clean. I did notice no island music playing. Love hearing it, just sets the vibes. We ordered their famous #1. Sam's plate with 5 big beef ribs $17.75 and the #5 chicken and steak combo $18.50 Service was super friendly and good came out quickly. We came right before the lunch rush bc it got busy quick. The Sam's combo was super flavorful but not loaded with tons of meat. But still enough for me to be full. The steak and chicken combo was so ono. Steak tender and chicken was loaded with smoky goodness. Will definitely be back to have more ono grindz. read more

Yup, they're legit. The Short ribs were juicy, tender, sweet, mouthwatering for sure! Their Macaroni/potato salad is one of the better ones I've had. The Bbq beef plate was loaded with Meaty, flavorful, charred teriyaki beef ribs. Though I wish it could have been a bit more tender, the meal was soooo sooo delicious!!!! The side of greens was also good. The dressing, slightly tangy, gave it a nice bite. Would mos def recommend!!!! read more

Updated review! Got my hands on some ribs finally!! Called ahead this time and they confirmed they had them so I drove to pick up some. These plates are hefty. You get anywhere from 4-6 ribs depending on how much meat there is so quantity is no issue. I will say tho, I've had better quality beef ribs from other places. For under $20 a plate though, these are fine. Some ribs had little meat tho so it's a toss up. Pretty good No ribs... 2 days in a row. Can't give them a good rating without what they're hyped up for. Giving up and gonna go get Antidote read more

After seeing so much hype about this place and their beef ribs, I finally had a chance to give it a try. Conclusion? Beef Ribs 6.5/10. They were solid but nothing to rave about. Some had very little meat, but overall flavor more of smoke instead of marinade. Galbi short ribs 9/10. These are the best protein we tried and better than most Korean BBQ places (yes I know this is Hawaiian). Very tender, meaty short ribs without a lot of tough gristle. Perfectly balanced (not too salty or sweet), natural flavored. Grilled chicken 3/10. Dry and tasted like 2-3 day old leftover chicken, not freshly grilled tasting. Dipping sauce could not save it. Mac salad 8/10. Solid accompaniment. Definitely finished it. Overall was a bit disappointed with the beef ribs and won't ever touch the chicken again. But the good news is we found a place to get great short ribs and mac salad from here on out. read more

The Dino ribs don't skip them. Bbq beef and chicken are also really good. This place used to be a solid 5 but it seems like the foods just not the same. The Dino rib wasn't caramelized like the first time I ate here. The Mac salad is good not too sweet but very creamy. This is always a good option off the strip when in town. read more

First time here and I wanted to try their beef rib plate. I thought the taste was good and ribs were not dry. Portion was big and satisfying, some ribs had more meat than others, but others had more, so I didn't feel cheated. Plenty of siting and I was able to get my order pretty fast. I will have to come back and try other items. read more

I always order from this place when I'm hung over on the weekend, but I always forget where I ordered from! I've been meaning to leave these people a good review since they have unknowingly made my hang-over days much better! I typically get the chicken cutlet in the small size. For like 10 bucks, the portion is slightly larger than perfect.. so.. more perfect? The food isn't like.. super gormet or anything, but that's exactly what is great about it. It feels like a home cooked meal delivered to my door. Matiki Island BBQ is one of the places I will order from regularly, and the only thing that ends up in the trash is the empty to-go containers. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - BBQ 1 Beef Rib - Hawaiian Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

For some weird reason it wouldn't upload my video but grossly disjointed. Quit giving the content creators the best pieces for their videos and actually focus on making it consistent for all your customers. What I got was mostly sinew/gristle/fat than meat. My stomach was rumbling after eating all that fat. Don't waste your money on this when you can basically pay the extra $10 and get the weekday lunch special at an AYCE kbbq a few streets up than pay for mostly bone/sinew/gristle/fat more than there was meat. What meat i did eat had a great taste. Their marinade before grilling it is very tasty. The potato mac salad was the perfect amount of mayo and not swimming or dry like most Hawaiian places. Well seasoned for sure. Would be a 1 but it's not fair to the FOH staff that does a great job of greeting and being friendly with customers and drivers that should get the brunt of this review. Hawaiian music definitely sets the laid back vibe. Also the sauce poured over the king's Hawaiian rolls for their panipopo was great! read more

New restaurant just opened up in Henderson on eastern close to anthem hearing a lot about their food so I had to try them out . I went the night before, but they were out of ribs. It was their grand opening weekend so I said fine. I went the next day and ordered their ribs when it came out the box could not close because the size of the ribs it was ridiculous. It comes with two large scoops of rice and macaroni salad not a big fan of their macaroni salad, but it was good. The ribs were succulent. Delicious just the way I like them a little bit greasy and they had some additional sauce to pour on them. It's the best $17.75. I've spent in a long time I had to split my meal with a friend as I couldn't finish. It would definitely go again. read more

It lived up to the hype! This spot has been popping up on my Instagram feed and been on my list of places I'd like to try, even though I live in AZ. Well, today was the day. I'm in Vegas for the holiday and had to check it out. The portions are beyond generous, great flavor and friendly staff. I had to try the beef ribs, which is what they're known for. The flavor was great, just wished they were a little more tender. My son had the beef and chicken plate...that beef was delicious and very tender. I would definitely try them again. read more
