    Stopped by because I wanted Guamanian Food and we were in the area. Service was really good. The workers were friendly. Hafa Adai! Food: * Pork Spare Rib Plate added premium side of Chicken Kelaguen. * Empanada The spare ribs were tasty and I loved the red rice. The kelaguen was a small serving but it was delicious. I got my Empanada fix. It was so good. There's 3 to an order. Overall, great spot that I will definitely return.

    What an amazing find in Henderson... Our Vegas friends found Red Rice on a whim, and took us when we were in town visiting... Simply outstanding. Red Rice brought back nostalgia from our time living in Guam (lived there 5 years in a previous life)... The food is as authentic Chamorro as you're going to find. It's a family owned joint and you can tell they really pride themselves in serving quality Chamorro cuisine. The owners are so friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is small and quaint, but clean and well-kept. While it's not cheap ($60 for two plates), they give you a ton of food, arguably enough for two meals, so keep that in mind. When in/around Vegas, Red Rice is a must if you've ever lived in Guam or the Marianas Islands... IYKYK

    Tried this place twice (came in once and took to go, and ordered off postmates the second time) and both times really delivered! Located on the busy street on Eastern, there's still ample parking in its plaza! Inside, there's a huge menu on the screens in front of you, a bench to sit on the side for waiting, and tables to the right. Ambience is heavily Guamanian which is awesome, and towards the door you can find some interesting articles up for you to read about how they got started :) The person taking my order seemed friendly, and of course the second time was on postmates, so no need. The menu selection can be a bit difficult at first because of the new item names, but trust, whatever you get is delicious and well-cooked! If you want to try a bunch of different items, I'd suggest the Mix combo plate! (Red rice, bbq chicken, bbq spare rib, breaded shrimp, chicken kelaguen, and a choice of side (my fav is the cucumber fine denne). I've also done regular plates and added the bbq rib because it's honestly a rib with so much meat! Don't skimp out on the banana donuts! Soft doughy/banana inside with a fried outside! SO GOOD! And yes, the red rice is super flavorful! OH and The spam musubis with the red rice are chefs kiss! Overall, 10/10 on the food- and I didn't even get to have it fresh fresh and it was delicious!

    The spam masubi was dry. A side sauce would help

    Food was delicious ! Took almost 30min but it was fresh. I do wish they had appetizers to offer (cook faster) while waiting for main course tho. 8/10 on food. Service was friendly and welcoming but they could use for tables! There was about 4 tables taken by a whole family and when they were all done they stayed to chit chat while we stood around waiting for them to exit. I wish at least the staff would have offered some type of apology/assistance since we had kids and elders.

    Whenever my husband and I go to Vegas, we always make our way to Red Rice to get our Guam/chamorro bbq fix since there really isn't any Guam bbq places in San Jose where we live. Over the years and times we've been here you can never go wrong with any of their combo plates which comes with a bit of everything. On our recent visit we ordered the fiesta plate which includes beef short ribs, bbq chicken, pork spare ribs, red rice, and a side of chicken kelaguen. Everything was cooked and prepared well and definitely fulfilled our Guam bbq cravings especially after pouring finnadene over everything! All of the meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and had a nice char to it. The fiesta plate is definitely enough to share for two people. Service was great and welcoming. There are a few tables to dine at, the interior decor was cool to look at--they even have stickers and merch for sale (which we bought lol).

    I love the decor

    Hear me out! A Guamanian BBQ Revelation I stumbled upon Red Rice while searching for a Hawaiian BBQ spot and was utterly blown away to discover that we had Guamanian BBQ here in Las Vegas. I did some quick research just to kind of get a understanding of the difference and found that Guamanian BBQ is distinct from Hawaiian BBQ, even though they share island roots. In Guam BBQ, meats are often marinated in savory blends of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and black pepper, then grilled over fragrant native woods like tangan‑tangan for a truly smoky finish . In contrast, Hawaiian BBQ from classics like my fav BBQ chicken, to imu‑cooked kalua pig, its all about sweet‑savory tropical marinades featuring soy sauce, ginger, pineapple, brown sugar, and garlic. So while both island BBQs bring deep flavor, Guam leans smoky, savory, and grounded, whereas Hawaiian leans bright, sweet, and tropical. Anyways....Back to the review! Their Spam musubi could have carried my cravings alone with its crispy, savory, and wrapped to perfection presentation. But the true star of the show was their signature red rice. I'd never had it before, and now I'm absolutely hooked. Vibrantly hued and beautifully earthy, a taste that lingers and delighted me. The cucumber side, cucumber fina'denni', was a standout as well with a cool, tangy, and playfully spicy, with just enough zing to balance the rich BBQ flavors. In short: Red Rice delivered an unforgettable Guamanian BBQ experience with addictive red rice, playful sides like cucumber fina'denni', and musubi that doubles as an added bonus. If you haven't tried this version of BBQ I highly recommend!

    What a great island style restaurant! If you're are wondering what kind of local dishes you would find at a Guam fiesta... go to Red Rice. The barbecue marination is exactly what you would taste on Guam. Plus of course they have red rice, short ribs, shrimp patties, kelaguen (barbecue chicken, coconut, peppers, lemon, onions)... an awesome dish. A lot of the dishes are soy sauce base. Plus the staff is super friendly.

    Amazing food! The rice is so flavorful, the ribs are cooked perfectly. Sometimes the meat on the ribs can be a little light but nonetheless this place has great food and service! I always get the rib place with extra rice and extra dressings. They have a homemade hot sauce that's really good too, love to add it to the rice!

    my favorite island bbq spot in vegas !! i love coming to red rice not just because of the food but the hospitality provided by the staff. everyone is so welcoming and in such a good mood whenever i visit. the flavor, juicy, and tenderness of the bbq meats are top tier.

    Cute little Guamanian spot! There aren't too many tables, but my friend and I were able to get one. The 90s music that was playing is totally my vibe! I ordered the hafa adai plate. It did take a while to come out. They said they would comp me a dessert item because of it... but I guess they forgot. Literally everything on my plate was delicious... from the empanada to the red rice, meat, cucumbers, and sauces. They all just go well together and are very flavorful. I thought I'd be able to leave myself some leftovers, but I devoured it. The staff was nice each time I've visited, and this last one was my 3rd time checking it out. If you've never tried Guamanian food, this is a great way to try.

    Monday 1/13/2025 Another spot I got introduced to by Keith Lees' TikTok content, so you know I had high expectations. Also, I'm not very well versed with different types of food so Guamanian food is completely new to me and my palate. I called for takeout, and the service was good, but even better in person. I got the mix combo plate (cucumber & diago) $22.94 and latiya (cake) $6.22. When it comes to the mix combo plate, it had many different items, but I'd say: the rice was alright, the chicken was good, the rib & shrimp were decent. It came with some sauces: the orange color cream sauce was decent, but the brown soy sauce wasn't enjoyable. The latiya is a dessert derived from their culture and it was my recommended by the person on the phone so I was intrigued to say the least. Unfortunately, my high expectations were not met as it tasted like vanilla pudding with some cinnamon at the top, which didn't do anything for me. In all honesty, I likely wouldn't come back mainly due to the price and the fact that there was an unknown 4% credit charge that I wasn't aware of until later.

    if you love island food this is a must try! I ordered the "Local" plate. red rice, BBq chicken, pork ribs, shrimp patty side of chicken kelaguen, i also ordered side of eggplant (roasted eggplant,coconut and lemon) the empanada its very tasty, you will come back for more. The service is excellent and friendly. The place has good seating and good music.

    Nice welcoming people and the food hits the spot if you're craving Chamorro food. I usually come here with my friend, she's from Guam. King car Lemon tea is a must, along with a combination plate. You will never go wrong with any of those items. I'm a huge fan of their pickled daikon I can just eat it alone. Don't mind the wait as food is usually prepared fresh to order.

Don't be put off by the looks of the location. The site is in a kind of rundown strip mall-ish center with plenty of parking. Inside you order at the counter and food is brought to your table. Even with a line, service is friendly and wait times are pretty minimal. Their menu has a little of everything from beef ribs, brisket and sausage links to okra, corn nuggets and slaw. Seating is first come first serve and they have e quite a large dining area with plenty of tables with bench seats. Next to the soda machine are an abundance of different sauces that will appeal to even the pickiest of bbq eaters. For lunch we chose the 3 meat trio. We chose sliced brisket (it comes chopped if you don't specify) 1/4 dark meat chicken and hot links. For the included side, we chose the dirty rice. We added an extra 1/4 dark meat chicken and a side of cheesy mac and cheese. Wife and I split the brisket and hot links and we will usually have leftovers as they are generous with their portions. All the barbecue has rich and Smokey flavor. The brisket was tender and had a hive visible smoke ring around the edge. The links have nice heat that is not overpowering. The dark meat chicken is also tender and juicy. When you peel the skin back the meat underneath is glistening. Both the rice and macaroni complimented our protein selections. If I have one knock, the sides were merely warm and not hot. I think this as due to the volume of people there for lunch today. For sauce I chose their original and sweet mama varieties. They are very tasty and full of southern bbq influence. All-in-all, this is a great BBQ spot and centrally located for visitors to the Strip.
