I looove musubis so much and this place was recommended to me by my friends , amazing place and energy thanks guys, food is awesome

Well, it's such a sad day for me. This was my go to for dinner. The servings were exceptional and the price WAS phenomenal. Now they reduced the portions and raised the prices by $5. I used to order the chicken plate for 15 bucks and I would be able to have it for lunch and dinner now that same chicken plate is $20 and only enough for one setting. I'm really sad and i knew something was going to change because they've been closed for weeks, but I wasn't expecting a price raise and a portion decrease. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - Chicken plate $20 - Hawaiian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm not sure what happened to this place. I used to come here a lot when they were in smaller location within same plaza. Food was so good and service was always aloha. Not anymore. They have one guy working the front, no menu displayed anywhere and only have 2-3 items from menu. There were multiple parties waiting for their food because it took so long. Ours took 30 minutes. And when we finally did get our food it was burned. Maybe management changed. Definitely not the same and should absolutely avoid. read more

First impressions are last impressions, and this encounter was rough. Approaching the Restuarant at 7:53pm, half the chairs were put up already. (By the time, I am writing this at 8:30PM, ALL of the other chairs are up on the surrounding tables and booths). There was no digital menu above the counter to display their offerings and the respective prices. There were two menus on the counter with every price point blacked out. (See the pictures). And then the cashier said the only proteins available are chicken and steak. I ordered a Teri Chicken plate and my girlfriend ordered the Teri Steak plate, both a "For Here" order. I was met with price at the counter, and I suppose no choice but to pay whatever the register displayed. Food was quick and ready in 10 minutes. It tasted fine to make up for the experience. I really thought a "For Here" order would include utensils and napkins, but it did not. I did end up grabbing utensils and napkins, but they are on opposite sides of the counter at the front. I can't help but wonder, If I asked for my meal "To Go", would those basic necessities have been included with my meal? The interior was spacious, and it felt clean. Just not inviting, nor guest-friendliest. Hawaiian food spots are saturated in Vegas, and unfortunately there's not a compelling reason for me to return. 2.5 Stars / 5.0 Stars. read more

First, they've moved to the other corner of the complex into a much larger space than they had before. Great for those of you who are wanting to dine in! Things were still getting together but I have faith they will get back to their normal flow. Food was tasty as always. Had the beef ribs and the kalua pig today. 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. Service was friendly for the most part, but be ready for longer waits. Maybe it was because of the move, but it was a 15-20 min wait today. The ribs are still the best in town, I'm hoping the small portion was just a one off. read more

On a work trip in Vegas and I need to hit my protein for the day and I was debating on getting southern BBQ or Hawaiian BBQ. When traveling I usually lean towards Hawaiian BBQ as I have better luck since Southern BBQ is a crap shoot. Matiki didn't disappoint. When I opened the box I literally said "holy " it smelled so good and was piled high with meat. The neat was flavorful and delicious. It was so good that I had to remind myself to slow down and chew . The only thing keeping this from being a 5 rating is that that Mac salad had little potatoes in it. That threw me off and was the only thing I didn't finish. All in all great first meal in Vegas. I will definitely get this again before I leave. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - teriyaki chicken, grilled teriyaki top sirloin steak & Kalbi short ribs served with rice, macaroni salad. - Hawaiian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm sad about this place because it really was a spot where you could grab a plate and split it with two easily. Not only that but it just felt welcoming and you could see them grilling the meat right beside you. This new location in the same plaza is not it. The inside is desolate, spread open chairs with hardly anyone inside, the ambiance is gone. There's a young girl working the front register and her mom is in the back grilling. I took a kalbi plate to go and walking back to my car it just felt so light! 6 pieces of this small meat and barely two scoops of rice for $21! The salad and its dressing were the best part. Well I had my craving whatever it was but now it's time to part ways and support another business. read more

Walking in, you are greeted to an elongated restaurant that is beautifully decorated. I also love the Hawaiian style music playing. Service was super quick and ordering was a breeze. After many recommendations I came for the Beef Ribs; also known as "Sam's Plate". With a tip it was about $21. The plate was definitely filled to the brim. The meat was good, however extremely fatty. Some bones were just covered in more fat than meat and it was a bit off putting. However about half the meat I was able to dig off was delish, while the other half was super charred and burnt. Overall its a large portion of food for the price, but it may not be everyones cup of tea. I would love to come back and try some other options next time read more

The meats are SO GOOD. Let's the honest, the good spots in Vegas are always off the strip. I'm glad someone in my group recommended/suggested we try out this spot on our last visit! The service was friendly, menu was reasonable, and portions were huge. Like everyone else, we were super curious about the beef ribs so had to get that to share. I can never pass up a kalbi so we got the two combo plates to share. 6 ribs are pretty generous and we ended up splitting the ribs between 3 people. I loved the char on the meats sine it's grilled over an open flame and with the marinade, the meats were super juicy. Would have loved to try more things like the musubi and chicken but I'll have to save that for next time. Plenty of parking in the large plaza; pretty much all of the flavors of Hawaiian Sun in the fridge. read more

Definitely adding this place to my list of places to come back to. Generous portions and friendly service. Great music choice and just good vibes. We went with the beef ribs and a side of short ribs and the flavor spot on what you should expect it to taste like. Savory, slightly sweet, and it makes you want to gnaw every last bit of meat off the bone. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - Beef rib plate with a side of short ribs - Hawaiian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The food? Bomb. The vibes inside from the music? Next level. This location is actually to the right of the sandwich shop and to the left of cafe 86. *dont go to the northern most part of the parking area! I believe that's the old location? Anyways...the place itself is fairly intimate with a couple of tables inside and bar seating along the entire side wall. However, our group of 10 were able to sit just fine together pushing some tables and chairs together. (And putting them back, of course!) Islander vibes all around with the painted wall and huge window showing them grilling and firing up all the meats. The food: we got the beef rib plate with 1 Mac and 2 scoop rice, and 2 spam Musubis (1 spam mac & 1 spam lovers). Sooo good. The beef Ribs were a bit messy to eat, but that grill/charcoal type taste was delicious. I'm also a big fan of the Spam Mac musubi. So much so that I just used the Mac from our plate to put on the second spam lovers one LOL. It was fun Interacting with the guys in the kitchen, especially when a fun song came on. Can't stop us from singing along and vibing with the kitchen crew when Mario, Chris brown, neyo throwback songs come on! Prettt bummed I didn't ask for the playlist lol. Overall will be back to try even more. (My lil bro got the Kalbi and I def want more of that, too!) read more

I've been to the Pecos location before and was in a cafe nearby, so I decided to try this location for a quick bite. Walking in, the place was VERY spacious. Music wasn't too loud and the space was well kept and clean. The tables were spaced with good distance which is an upgrade from their previous location in the plaza. There were other people waiting for food, but I had only ordered 2 OG Musubi. I'm assuming the staff gotten busy right after my order because I could hear the receipts printing out in the back. Regardless, the food came out quick, but the musubis were quite disappointing. The two that I had ordered were different sizes and the ratio of spam to rice was very off. It was a thick musubi, but it was because it was 3/4 rice and the thinnest cut of spam. The spam itself was not browned or crispy on the outside, which I did not mind, but just something to note. The OG musubis are $4 which is fair considering they add tax in the price, but I was taken aback at paying that for just rice. Benefit of the doubt, they got busy and also moved so they're still trying to adjust. read more

I really enjoyed the Hawaiian BBQ here. I ordered the kalbi amd steak combo and it was wasn't chewy. I skipped out on the macaroni salad and stuck to the rice. I went on a Monday afternoon, there wasn't a line. And It took about 5-10 min for them to make me food. But I went next door to order dessert and a drink as I waited. Nothing to special about the interior. The main focus is the food which I don't mind read more

Amazing customer service... The second you walk in you're welcomed with a smile and an energetic, friendly greeting. I was in the mood for something lite so I went with some Mac salad, which I loved and a veggie rice bowl, which was meatless, healthy, and very tasty. They have several other great looking menu items that I look forward to trying on the next go round. FYI: The restaurant is currently located next-door to Wingstop, but the manager informed me that Matiki Island BBQ will be relocating to the other side of the exact same shopping center that it's currently located in. The relocation will take place two months from today (7/25) read more

This restaurant was interesting... how have you been around since 1996 but you have no menus or anything anywhere with any prices? My other half and I walked in the doors at 7:55pm, closing is at 9pm. Half of the restaurant was already closed down with chairs stacked on tables. Yuck. Next, you have to do all of your ordering at the register with ZERO prices and only a catering menu available with all of those prices covered with black marker. You don't know how much you're paying for anything until you order and they tell you the total, lol!!! Teri chicken was $18 and Teri beef is $21. That blew my hair back, lol! I started writing this review before I even got my food. It was decent but nothing special. I could name drop a few other places with similar portions and cheaper prices in the area but I won't. Side note, the mac salad tastes like potato salad... oh wait! They put potatoes in the mac salad... smh... this was the first time I have ever had mac salad with potatoes in it. That was such a weird experience. Like picking up a red lollipop, expecting it to taste like cherry, and instead it tastes like garlic. And if you order to eat inside, your food comes in to go containers anyway, you have to get your own utensils, napkins, sauces, and drinks on the other side of the restaurant. My significant other tipped and I have no clue why. I would say that no tipping is required at this restaurant. It's like a food truck inside a building so at least there are tables and chairs. Not sure I'll be back but enjoy if you do take a chance and go. read more

Matiki is known for their beef ribs and that's what we came for! You can smell them cooking from outside! Usually there's a rush but surprisingly this time it was empty! We ordered the beef rib plate with rice and salad and also added one of their musubis (forgot to take a pic) There are a couple tables and one long counter top with stools. You can watch them grilling the ribs through the big window while you wait. The ribs are ginormous and the meat falls right off the bone. The meat is tender and juicy and full of flavor. The musubi I got was good. It had spam and mac salad. We have yet to try their other menu items! We just can't stray from those ribs! read more

Please stop hiring teenagers as cashiers. They got busy and turned on two registers, which is fine. However, the registers printed the same queue number (meaning there are 2 orders of the ticket number 3). I ordered #1 and a side Mac salad and I saw so many others orders (same orders) being fulfilled except for mine. I had to wait for a long time and when I bring it up to the cashier, they kept saying it's coming without looking to see what's going on. No wonder this location closed. Horrible service and long wait. read more

5/5 experience at this Matiki Island BBQ! I've had this place bookmarked for the longest time, and I finally had the opportunity to try it out. I made a call for a phone order. *note If your order is over $50, you have to give credit card info right then over the phone. I happened to be outside of the restaurant already so I just went in to pay. But the cashier was so nice. She was multi-tasking someone else's in person order and automatically had a second card reader to take my payment so that I didn't have to wait long. I ordered 3 combos - beef ribs, short ribs, and chicken. You get your choice of green salad or mac/potato salad. Everything, but especially the beef ribs and short ribs were soooooo good. The beef ribs had meat that fell of the bone. It wasn't difficult to get every bit off meat off the bones at all. Everyone in the house loved the beef ribs. Flavor was good and meat was juicy and soft. The short ribs were also good and packed with flavor. The chicken was good but it was the least special of the 3 orders. It was slightly on the dryer end, and I probably prefer the typical bbq chicken from L&L more, but it was still tasty nonetheless. The mac/potato salad was a fun take on the usual mac salad at Hawaiian bbq places. I liked it. The wait for the food was only about 15 minutes. I killed time ordering drinks next door at Cafe 86. Good service, delicious food, fast. Definitely coming back! read more

Stopped in after dinner hour for mac salad as I thought they would be low on everything else. To my great pleasure, short ribs were available!!! Picked up a dinner and several containers of the tasty mac salad. No one was at the registers when I arrived and had to seek out cooks in the back. Otherwise service was quick. They are now in the northwest corner of the strip mall with a very large seating area. read more

When we came to Vegas, this was literally first on our list. The first time we came, they were sold out of the Kalbi and beef ribs. The heartbreak on my husbands face was so sad LOL. We didn't give up though. On our last day we tried again and man, was the wait worth it! It was super good! Beef ribs were flavorful and fatty, just the way we like it. The Kalbi was also delicious. I would say the steak was too lean, for us at least. I would pass on that next time and double up on Kalbi. Must try! read more

I've been away from Vegas for over a year. This is where I wanted to go for my birthday when we came for Christmas this year. And as usual the food never disappoints! The service here is always amazing the staff is so kind. Sitting waiting on our food watching others enjoy their meal is always a treat. Loved the music and the lively atmosphere. Will go back before I head back to Ohio. Got my favorite, steak and rice. Hubby got the beef ribs this time. I hear there's a new location closer so I will check them out. read more

[IN A NUTSHELL] great hawaiian food, big portions, flavorful meat [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] When for a visit to Las Vegas and came across this restaurant. A friend and I decided to share a meal and got the Big Kahuna which had a variety of meats. Overall a good place if you want some good BBQ food. They have a lot of Hawaiian favorites and also some Li Hing candies for sale. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.5/5 Big Kahuna $36 (3.5/5) -Rice, mac salad, green salad, kale short ribs, steak, and chicken -I would recommend getting this and honestly you can share with about 3 people or maybe even 4. The short ribs was super flavorful and juicy. Some of the steak pieces were overcooked and I rather have it on the medium rare side, but still delicious. They also have some mac salad which had potatoes in it, which was not the greatest in my case. The portion size is huge which is a good thing for me. The chicken was also a little dry and it needed the sauce that they provide with it. I think overall portion is good, but I would either recommend getting the short ribs or try the beef rib. **I did see the Beef Rib Plate that I wanted to try that also looks super good. [SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE] (not reflected upon review score): It's a small shop and seats are somewhat limited. We came here during lunch time and it started to get crowded. Service was good, it's an order and sit down restaurant. read more

Come here often for the chicken box which was always good but this time ordered on Yelp door dash wanted to just pick up instead of waiting plus they had a deal. Bought 3 chicken box with $7 off. But was so disappointed it looked like children meals with a lot of fat and some pink. Is it a door dash thing that you give less? Usually i can eat this for 2 meals but this portion didn't even fill me. It's really iffy if i even want to eat here again. read more

A solid 4.5/5 stars! This spot was recommended by my friend who lives in Vegas and I'm super glad I got to try it. There's plenty of space for parking but not too many seats inside so just be aware if you have a big group. The servers were all super kind/welcoming and recommended the Beef Ribs "Sam's combo" and the Kalbi Short Ribs combo. The food came out within 10-15 minutes and I was blown away by how much food there was! Beef Ribs- some had plenty of meat on the bone, others had way more bone than meat. Either way, it had that nice char flavor and the meat was tender (most of them fell off the bone!) The salad was normal but the dressing's acidity cut nicely into the fatty beef ribs. As for the mac salad, the noodles were cooked perfectly and it was nice and creamy! Kalbi Short Ribs- these short ribs live in my head rent free. Tell me how the Kalbi ribs here are better than most Korean restaurants I've been to?! The meat's flavor, juciness, etc. had me blown away. And the sauce too? I was honestly speechless the whole meal while I was eating this bc this had me in a chokehold. These ribs have a perfect balance of sweet and savory and y'all have got to order them. I was fighting for leftovers afterward over these ribs. I cannot wait to come back to Matiki Island when I visit Vegas in the future. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - 1. Beef Rib Plate 2. Kalbi Plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Food (1/5): this was my first time trying Matiki after I kept seeing social media videos on the beef ribs and I knew I had to try this place out. Unfortunately, the food did not meet my expectations. The beef ribs, though plenty, were fatty but somehow not very tender, the chicken was a bit plain without the teriyaki sauce, the rice tasted a bit stale, and the Mac salad was the worst, which has a piece of someone's hair in it which we got a full refund for. Service (5/5): the place was busy and it took awhile to get our food, but as mentioned above, we had a piece of hair in our Mac salad and the manager was prompt in finding a resolution to the problem. Ambiance (4/5): it's a very small restaurant and the music is pretty loud, but there's plenty of parking and you should be able to find a spot since most people order takeout. read more

Visited this place after visiting a nearby establishment. Not being from the area, and that my party was just hungry, we pulled up the Yelp app and saw the above average reviews of Matiki so we checked it out. Service: The cashier that took our order just seemed to be there. Kinda like "what do you want" and "hurry up with your order" attitude. I just disregarded the attitute and went on to order. Even asking for recommendations on the menu seemed like an inconvenience. Just wanted note it for others if you're big on customer service. Needs a little work there but they did help with giving an extra container to eat on. 3 of 5 stars Food/Offering: Went big and ordered the Big Kahuna for my family of 4. It was a mix of kalbi short rib, chicken, steak and sides of mac and green salad. Suprisingly, the food was flavorful and the offerings were plentiful. It was enough to fill our bellies during that time. Feedback from some of our picky eaters were admirable. 5 of 5 stars Overall: For fast food, this place is actually good. Although most patrons get their orders to go due to limited seating, but during my visit, we were able to sit and enjoy our meal. Soda refills are available but my party opted for just water (which was ice cold). If you are in the mood for island bbq, I would recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Matiki Island BBQ - Big Kahuna - Hawaiian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Matiki Island BBQ has been on my radar for a while, mostly because every other Vegas food post seems to feature those giant beef ribs, so I finally stopped in at the Jones location to see what the fuss was about. The space itself is casual and pretty straightforward--order at the counter, grab a table, island music going in the background, grill smoke drifting in from the kitchen. It feels like the kind of place you hit when you're hungry, not trying to be fancy, and just want a solid plate lunch. First visit, I went all in on the main attraction: the beef rib plate (Sam's plate) with rice and mac salad, plus a Spam musubi on the side. The ribs are exactly what everyone online has been screaming about--big, smoky, and sauced up, with meat that mostly falls off the bone when you pull at it. You do get some bones and fat in the mix, but when you hit those pockets of tender meat, it really "smacks" like the other reviews say. The mac/potato salad is their own twist on the usual mac salad--creamy and a little heavy, good with the ribs, though not my favorite part of the plate. The Spam musubi is simple but solid, the kind of thing you knock out without thinking while you're waiting on the ribs to cool off. On another visit, I tried a combo with kalbi short ribs and chicken so I could see if they were more than a one-item shop. The kalbi was the winner there--nice char, sweet-savory marinade, and plenty of meat on the bone. The chicken plate was good, but a little less exciting compared to the ribs; still tasty, just not the star of the show. Portions across the board are big, very shareable, and definitely give "eat now, leftovers later" energy. It lines up with what other folks are saying: if you're coming here, you almost have to get something with beef ribs or kalbi at least once. Service has been friendly each time I've gone in--lots of "aloha" energy at the counter, food coming out reasonably fast even when it's busy. The place can get crowded, and seating is limited, so it's one of those spots where timing matters; mid-afternoon is a lot more chill than peak lunch or dinner. If I'm being honest, there's a bit of inconsistency: once in a while you'll get a rib that's more bone and fat than meat, or mac salad that feels a little "meh," but when they're on, it's really good island-style comfort food. Overall, Matiki Island BBQ is exactly what I hoped it would be--a go-to spot when I'm craving big, messy beef ribs and a plate that leaves me full for the rest of the day. read more

Everything I've tried here is good. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. My absolute favorite is their beef ribs. I usually just buy the ribs by themselves and make rice at home. They're always a hit at get-togethers. The tenderness can be a hit or miss, but the the flavor never disappoints. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Definitely check out this place if you haven't already. read more

After seeing all the Instagram and Tiktok Influencers raving about this place and how you couldn't close the box of ribs because they were so huge and they gave you so much , I had to try it myself. I love bbq and over the last couple years I've gotten into Hawaiian food. I was very skeptical about the ribs , but was hoping it was at least close to being true. The rib box is $19 and they gave me as a Veteran Discount of a free drink. I got a Fanta Orange. Well , got home and my box was closed , but was pretty full. Now the beef ribs were very tasty , but they hardly had any meat on them ! I'm talking half the meat was at the top of the bone and nothing on the bottom of the bone and very fatty. I believe I got 6 beef ribs , I should have counted yesterday before they took the garbage away this morning. Anyway , the flavor was good and the sauce is very good , but I need some meat on those bones. The rice was very good and sticky and they give you two scoops of them. I got the macaroni salad instead of the traditional green salad. I'm not much of a macaroni salad person , but it was sweet and pretty good. I just wanted something different and to give it a try. The dining area was clean and several people were sitting in the dining room. I would like to go back again and try a different plate , Chicken and Steak Combo looks pretty good. I would have given it a 5 Star if the beef ribs had more meat on them. If you look on Instagram and Tiktok , they have meat on the entire bone. One of my bones had one piece of meat the size of a quarter and the rest was fat. read more

Stopped by Matiki Island BBQ after seeing a reel from a Vegas influencer, and let me tell you--it did not disappoint. What pulled me in? Those massive island-style beef ribs--six pieces of pure flavor. The plate came loaded with rice and that creamy island-style mac salad on the side. Service was quick, and honestly, this place blows L&L BBQ and Ohana out of the water. Matiki is the spot, and I'm definitely coming back for more. read more

This place sucked straight up they were out of the ribs everyone wants. I probably saw 15 people come in and they left me and my husband was there by our self. I got the Kailua pig with cabbage (was ok but way too watery) he got the short ribs which were tough and burnt. The teenage boy acted like he didn't give a dang about his job. It was a disaster and we will never come again. By the way hubs was told they can't get the ribs any longer . A problem with manufacturing or some such. You have been warned!! I don't recommend this place at all!!! Please just don't think about coming here . It's a disaster !! read more

Went here for the first time and all we can say is it's average overall at best. "Beef Ribs"? I'm sorry to say, every single bone had little to no meat on them, more inedible fat if anything. "Steak and Chicken" well at least the steak was edible, the chicken was undercooked and was inedible and didn't try to finish them. The Mac salad was good. Sorry, it was a one and done for us. read more

Such a great first impression! This location is kind of hidden in the plaza next to Cafe 86, but it's easy to spot considering the people coming in and out, the island music playing, and the amazing smell of local-style bbq. We came on a weekday around early dinner and it was very busy, but service was exceptional and our food came out pretty fast. They're known for their beef ribs but we opted for the kalbi plate, which came with a GENEROUS portion of kalbi, 2 scoops rice & delicious mac salad I shared the plate with my partner and it was enough to fill us both up! We also tried the spam 'macsubi' for a quick bite on the drive home and it hit the spot. I wish there was a bit more mac salad since it was so delicious but nonetheless a great little snack. I grew up in Hawai'i & have never thought to put mac in my musubis?! ahah Will definitely come back to try their huge beef ribs & other items! yayyyyyyy read more

They are currently at a temporary location and it was packed! I ordered online for a to-go order. The beef ribs are definitely the star. They were tender and flavorful. Yes, some bones have more than others but some cook down more. The steak in my plate was also very flavorful and tender, the chicken had good flavor was a little dry. I like the Mac salad a Sadie salad that came with the plate. I will def go back once they move to new location (in same shopping plaza) hopefully bigger read more

I always wanted to try this place and finally did. My sister did a take out order for the beef ribs, macsubi, and short ribs plate. The Kalbi plate was my favorite! The meat was very tender and flavorful! The beef ribs were also delicious! The only downfall was that some of the ribs barely had any meat. There was more bone and fat. The macsubi was good. Can't go wrong with mac salad and a spam Musubi put together! Definitely will be back for the Kalbi plate! read more

So they won't answer their phone so I can see if they have beef ribs so I don't have to drive 30 minutes to find out they're out. Bummer

The BBQ beef rib "Sam's plate" is the main attraction here. Not many Hawaiian places have them beside the standard kalbi short rib, chicken and beef. The meat was tender falling off the bone and flavorful. Order the combo with two side and spam musubi. The place has an Hawaiian upbeat decor and staffs was friendly. Normally the place pretty busy but visit between lunch and dinner to avoid the rush. Will definitely come back and try other menu options. read more
