This was our first stop right after getting off the plane and it didn't disappoint!! We got the mega plate and that fed my bf and I twice. It came with chicken nasty, fried chicken, bbq short rib, and steak. We basically got almost one of each meat to not miss out on anything and it did not disappointment! The shop itself is small and cute. There's plenty of parking and will definitely be back!

I heard and found this place on yelp looking for BBQ and this looks good and didn't think much for Hawaiian food, but holy moly was I wrong. Right off the bat the food is so flavorful, the garlic chicken punches you with a sweet garlicky tang. The regular chicken is also very crunchy and burst with juice and just overall it was all super delicious. I have to get both the regular and garlic chicken as I can't describe how good the regular chicken was but it is a must get for me. Will definitely come back and have to everytime I am in Vegas The short rib was not only very moist, but well marinated and had a char taste which I loved, the loco moco very juicy with a nice savory gravy sauce with perfect sunny side up egg and caramelized onion which when soaked and eaten with rice is a flavor bomb. The service is very welcoming and loving, the lady at front was very attentive as well patient and helped us order, we couldn't decided what to get so she helped us by recommending combos we couldn't decided do which made the taste testing all the better. Her attitude really brought the place to be alive and just caring. The ambiance of this place is very local feeling, with the music and atmosphere, felt like I was back in Hawaii at a local joint. Overall again when you get the chance definitely come here! Best Hawaiian food I had in the longest time since I last went to Hawaii

Lefty J's Island Favorites has a new location on Maryland and Harmon. You'll find them at Rebel's Running Plaza. There's plenty of parking. Inside is spacious with ample seating and awesome music. Menu offers a nice selection of Island Favorites such as chicken katsu, kalua pork, kalbi beef short ribs, and Filipino food. I had Pinakbet ($9.95) with sautéed eggplant, okra, green beans, garlic, and tomatoes served with two scoops of steamed rice. They give generous portion, food is delivered hot and freshly cooked! Mac Salad ($2.95) is tasty and Hot Dog Musubi ($3.25) is yummy! Service from Maka is welcoming, polite, and friendly.

Friendly staff and very convenient for UNLV students. Tonight I tried the beef Kalbi and my Grammy tried the chicken katsu. My Kalbi was delicious!! Super flavorful!! My Grammy loved the katsu. Next time I want to try their garlic chicken.

YUMMY!!! Picked up my parents from the airport and wanted to find a spot close by and I'm glad we decided to give this place a try! My parents shared the two item combo and got pork adobo and pinakbet! My dad is super picky but he really enjoyed both dishes and when he's happy ... I'm happy! They definitely want to go back on their next visit. My husband and I shared the 3 item BBQ combo and it was super delish!!! Loved their BBQ marinated... we also tried their spam musubi I can't wait to go back and try other items! Next time, I'm not sharing ... hehehe Also, they offer great customer service! The cashier was super nice and a lady, I assumed she might have been the owner, went to our table to check on things oh and when we left, the cashier said bye and referred to me by name which I was totally impressed

Lefty J's is a must-visit comfort Hawaiian and Filipino spot in Vegas that's been endorsed by Keith Lee. Known for their Hawaiian plates pakced with your combo of protein, furikake rice, and mac salad, this is the place to go for comfort Hawaiian food. I wanted to try all their options, so I went all out for their sampler platter, which was the Famous Five Star. It was loaded with kalbi, katsu, crispy fried chicken, teriyaki chicken, and teriyaki beef. Every bite I took was rich and hearty, the meats were juicy and the mac salad was the cherry on top.

Holy moly. If you're in Vegas, you should definitely stop here. Lefty-J's was my favorite meal of my whole trip to Vegas. Their Mac Salad alone was enough to send me over the edge. I really enjoyed the Kalbi was so yummy too. My partner got the garlic honey chicken and it was all so good. I did the BBQ trio and I was not disappointed! The portions were so large too, so it felt like great value for the money too. I wish we could have come back here every day. The location would be easy to miss just driving down the road, but it is worth stopping in. I love that it's very low key though. The decorations are lovely and the staff if helpful. It isn't super fine dining, but I wouldn't want it to be either. I will be back every time I come to Vegas!

Oh my sweet goodness, Lefty J's! How we have missed the establishment and this delicious food. Luckily when we walked in their NEW location on Maryland and were able to take in their second location. What an achievement for this family! If you know Lefty's then you know this is a family owned, local business that closes Sunday to dedicate it to their family. What's more precious than that? At first Lefty asked if we'd visited there before then we closed the door and he immediately recognized us, which is great. When you have a business that's doing phenomenal like them it feels good to know the owner is welcoming you back after a hiatus! We caught up, asked how the family and business are, and ordered our usual. Two orders of garlic chicken, with 2 sides of Mac salad, and a 1/2 order of chicken katsu. Business was a little slow when we walked in, but when we sat and waited for our food we started seeing more customers walk in. Our food came out, and man how we missed it. Garlic chicken with furikake rice? Awesome as always! Chicken katsu, fresh, juicy, and the katsu sauce was amazing. Our Mac salad was off the charts. We hadn't had Lefty's and to come back with a warm welcome, friendly smile and too notch service reminded us why we keep coming back! If you're craving Hawaiian or Filipino food, Lefty's is the place. Their food has so much love, it's delicious and it's a treat deal for the price you pay! But the place is still hopping! The restaurant is clean, music is playing, and staff is amazing!

Thanks to Yelp for this gem! We around closing time at 7:30pm. Last Dine in was at 7pm. Good to go before 7pm. A young gentlemen took our order and he was so informational about the menu and what was popular. Ordered Spam Musubi, Fia Me Up, Robust Garlic Chicken and Kalbi Beef and Garlic Chicken. Noms gummy worms. The flavors were amazing in my mouth especially the garlic chicken 9/10. Mac salad was good I give it a 8/10. Kalbi Beef 10/10. Musubi 7/10. Food is highly recommended!!! So yummy. The venue was neat, clean and organized. Loved the videos playing with hula dancing and the Keith Lee Tiktok. Love the Hawaiian Flags. The place is very well kept.
