GOOD FOOD.
I think 4 people work there including the owners. All of them are very nice and friendly. They remember your name and what you eat. The chef even pokes his head out of the kitchen-to-dining room window to say hi.
These are a few of my favorite things: Garlic shrimp, garlic chicken, bbq chicken, salmon, daily and weekly specials.
They give military discounts. A plus.
The only other Hawaiian restaurants I've been to in LV are L&L and Aloha Kitchen and let me tell you that 808 destroys those two. In fact, I never plan on going back to those other two places again because if I did, I'd be too busy wishing I was at 808 that I wouldn't be able to enjoy their sub-par food. -

We stumbled upon this place because we were on our way to poke express. We figure this would be the perfect combination since we were missing Hawaii.
The restaurant itself could be nicer, but it looks like any other l&l. The prices were decent. $10 for a mixplate....not too bad considering they give u big portions.
My husband had the combination kalua pig and cabbage & beef stew. He didnt care for the kalua pig and cabbage, because a lot of it was just cabbage. I had their version of a zip PAC from zippys in Hawaii. I actually liked it. It was really close for me. I almost felt like i was eating a zip PAC.
decent prices, the food was good (in my opinion), and the portions were pretty big. -

You guys, I have found it. I've found the holy grail of satisfying lunches!
Before I get into why 808 is going to be the death of my latest pair of jeans, I will say the service is slow. This is a really family operation and they make everything to order. So when you finally make it over here, be patient and keep in mind that your food isn't being slopped around by some apathetic teenager making minimum wage. These people love to make food probably more than you love to eat it and it shows.
I haven't had a bad bite here yet (and I doubt I ever will), but the korean chicken wings have been my favorite so far. Crispy, savory goodness with this sauce that just.doesn't.stop! You can order the sauce mild or spicy but because I don't like to go back to work with deeply resonating heartburn, I always get mild. The fringe benefit of the sauce is it coats the rice underneath the chicken which kind of makes the rice like...second lunch!
I could write a novel on their macaroni salad, but since you are seconds from wandering away from this post, possibly in the direction of 808, I will say this: this is the macaroni salad to end all macaroni salads. Why? Because this mac salad has potato in it! Sure, other places might do it like this, but no one has the balanced tastiness that 808 has on theirs.
They have all kinds of home down Hawaiian specialties that will fill up your stomach and make your heart happy. Portions aren't for wimps, but all of the food is served in the styrofoam to go containers which make for easy transport if you can't shovel through your food like the rest of us.
I won't be offended if you got up from your computer midway through this review to go to 808. If you did, my work is done! -
Review from Lon L.
I decided to drive out this little hole in the wall the other week, because I was getting very stunned at the gas prices taking off like a rocket, and driving from Henderson is not a short drive to this place. I have to admit this restaurant became one of my favorite Hawaiian plate lunch place in Las Vegas. They have all standard Hawaiian plates, but have taken a few plates to another level with their own twist that separate themselves from the others in Las Vegas.
The wait time can be a little long, but looking and tasting what the owners are making in back is freshly made, and not sitting in a warmer. The restaurant was playing a few old Hawaiian songs, and it was pretty cool to listening them.
My plate came out within ten minutes, and all of the order came out on a take out plate, but I was there for the food, and their Ahi Tofu patty was outstanding, and had a nice mellow miso sauce on it. The Garlic Chicken came with a soy sauce/mayo dip, this dish is a winner. But it's their Sheared furikaki Ahi roll, which has a very nice special sauce, that captures most of the locals.
I was even more impressive with their green salad, which had a tart miso vinaigrette.
I tried all of the Hawaiian eateries, but this place kills most of them in the Las Vegas valley. When you're in this place, you forget you're in Las Vegas. and your taste buds are somehow taking you somewhere to Pearl City, Maui, or a hole in the wall on the Big Island. Yeah, it's that good.Listed in: Hawaiian style Grinds

Good local grindz, and close to the house too. Staff is super friendly, and very attentive to drinks and (with kids) messes. _Prices are reasonable. Can't beat that.
Wife had garlic chicken, she loved it. Kids always get spam musubi (when they order it, they pronounce it 'MOO-su-bi') and Saimin. This was the first time I tried the Zippy's special, chili rice with hot dog. This chili is dang good, highly recommended. Rumor has it malasadas are coming, so we're patiently waiting. A shave ice machine wouldn't hurt too ;) -

Surprising find in North Las Vegas! Legit Hawaiian food cooked by islanders...I was quite impressed with the Korean chicken wings...although not as juicy as the ones from Island Flavor...the extra crunchy skin on the exterior helped me overlook that quickly. Definitely in the running as one of the most flavorful Korean chicken dishes in Vegas. They have the normal local plate items on the menu, but they also have daily specials that are outside the norm! I have yet to try other items, but I am sure to become a regular here especially since Poke Express and Ella Em's Soul Food are in the same complex.

2 stars for "Meh. I've experienced better". I live in North Las vegas and have always wanted to try 808. Today i did. Not thrilled and here is why, I ordered the "ALOHA FRIDAY SPECIAL" ($10 and I got it to go). Kalua Pork, Cabbage, Chicken, Long Rice, Lomilomi, Salmon, Ahi Poke and Haupia. (no idea what 1/2 those items were, but tried it anyway).
Guess im being picky today, but the cup of raw diced salmon and clear noodles that looked like worms really grossed me out. However, the pork and cabbage and white pudding dessert thing were tasty. Don't get me wrong. everything tasted good! but the clear noodles and raw salmon was just too island specific (exotic) for my pallet today. If i go back, i will NOT get the "Aloha Friday special" Mahalo! -

I was craving lau lau and turned to yelp, which lead me to 808. They serve it on Friday's only . I've been here before awhile back so I knew the food would be good .
I chose the lau lau plate you have a choice of kalua pig , beef stew or tripe stew . I chose the tripe stew. It also comes with a little container of lomi salmon and rice of course.
The lau lau had a big piece of pork and fat and a nice piece of butter fish. Lau lau was avg size , pretty solid as far as lau lau goes.
The tripe stew was delicious it had celery , potato , carrots and tripe of course.
The stew was a tad bit thin for me and needed more tripe, but the flavor was spot on , the moment I put the first spoonful in my mouth , my taste buds said WOW!
Only if my wife ate tripe , I would be making it right now.
Oh yeah for an appetizer? I had to get a spam musubi , they were piled right next to the cash register(smart move 808) and I could not resist.
It was a solid spam musubi with teri sauce and still warm :)
When the craving hits me for lau lau, I will make the long drive to 808:) -

Been here twice now and have not been let down. My friends and I made sure to order different things and share to get the most for our money. I like the daily specials the most, I had the garlic chicken w/miso mayonnaise and the seared furikaki ahi and both were as we say back in Hawaii "broke da mouth". The location is inconvenient but worth the drive. YUMMY!!!!

Just a gem out in north vegas. Very family friendly as the staff all seems to be related. My first time had khalbi ribs (phenomenal) and sesame chicken. The chef asked if I wanted a sample of korean chicken, I said yes, and was treated to the most succulent zingy delight ever. I get it every time now. You can get it as wings or he will do it with thigh meat.
The daily specials are always great, and prices per portion are legit. I can't recommend it highly enough, especially in an area with very few unique spots like this. Just go! -

Improvements! Time is still long (that's why we do more take out)...but food is really good. This time around we had teriburgers with fries, fried saimin and loco moco. Best thing there...shrimp sauté! ;-)

Sesame chicken plate you can go no wrong. Sticky rice on point, pan fried sesame chicken and probably the best mac salad in the ninth island...Just too bad that this place is at the outer reaches of sin city civilization...

Review from Michelle W.
Las Vegas, NV
Wow! It's been a while since we've been back! Sorry 808! Brenton the Chef always has some awesome daily specials going on and their usual daily specials always hit the spot.
Today happened to be the daily special for ahi tofu patties. It came highly recommended by all of the staff and they were not kidding! The mixture of ahi tuna and tofu was the perfect ratio. The breading was perfectly crispy on the outside and the mayo dressing drizzled on top was a fantastic compliment. Both me and my man wolfed it down like there was no tomorrow!
Other good ol' standby's:
1. Loco Moco - for gravy and ooey gooey egg lovers
2. Hamburger Steak - for the savory gravy lover
3. Beef Stew - for those cold winter days
4. Saimin Salad
Tip: Looks like the word is spreading that they are tasty, so beware of long lines. Plan accordingly and like other yelpers mentioned, it might not be so bad to call in and order ahead.
Conclusion: It's a family run restaurant where they treat you like family and they feed you with comforting Hawaiian favorites.Listed in: Hole in the Wall Lover (Nevada…

Review from Ashley B.
Yummy, cheap, a thousand times better than Panda Express or any other main-stream place (such as L&L). This is a very non-assuming joint in a big shopping center off of Craig in North Las Vegas, but if you find it, you have found a gem!
I went here on a lunch date with a friend of mine and we arrived just around 11:40 AM on a Friday. There were open booths/tables and a small line. We both took our time checking out the menu and decided to get one of their daily specials, the "808" special. You get two choices of entrees (however it is limited to certain ones), and your choice of slaw, rice, or a mixed green salad.
My friend and I like to share so we thought this would be the best way for us to try a bunch of different things, so here's what we got:
Chicken Katsu
Shoyu Chicken
Grilled Salmon
Garlic Ahi
Spam Musubi (2)
My favorites were definitely the grilled salmon and the garlic ahi. The chicken was so-so. So I would absolutely reccomened the fish dishes over anything else here. The salmon seriously had this amazing flavoring in it that made it so yummy. My friend doesn't even like salmon and she said she liked this one. The musubi was good too and it had just come out fresh when we ordered ours.
I love that you can get a green salad here as a side. This one they had was great too - leafy greens, very fresh and with a nice side of dressing as well.
If you live in the NLV area you should definitely make it a habit to come here. I know I'm going to be coming back.Listed in: Make it Fast, North Las Vegas Frequents

Aloha North Vegas Yelpers!
This is the closest place to me that offers local food.
I had a late lunch here last week with my guy. We both come from Hawaii and love local food.
I had the kaukau pack which is their version of a bento. I choose garlic ahi and sesame chicken. It comes with white rice and fried noodles. Great taste and reasonable price costing $8
My guy loves the korean chicken plate and Portuguese sausage here.
To me their version of Korean chicken is OKAY... I would suggest something else... like their garlic ahi!
Why -1 star?
super long wait... really long wait... did I mention there's a wait?
and the menu is limited but I'm ok with quality, not quantity.
I guess I wish there was more HAWAIIAN food on the menu, I say this is more of local food from Hawaii. I guess I had my share of other Hawaiian spots in the city, so I've been to places that has more variety.
This place reminds me of a place you would find in Hawaii. Very friendly staff! I love Hawaii people! One lady there reminds me of my grandma back home. Gotta love the aloha spirit!
Will I come back?
YES!
I'll probably call in my order a head of time to cut out the wait, now that I have their menu.
+ military drinks free! Indoor seating. Super Casual. Lots of free parking.
Mahalo 808 MP!

I ALWAYS got to come here whenever in town. Love their freindly service and the loco moco. I've tried their other dishes but can't seem to get away from deciding on loco moco :P Fair price for the serving you get of food you don't find everywhere. Highly reccomend!

Review from andy t.
I've been coming here twice a week for lunch the past few weeks. The food is awesome and affordable. It's way better than going to a fast food chain.
I rotate between these:
Loco Moco mini $5.50
Hula Pack w/BBQ chicken $4.50
Shoyu Chicken mini $4.95
All the employees are nice. I call in my order so I don't have to wait. I don't even need to tell them my name anymore!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Fried Noodles topped with Garlic Chicken - Yummers!!!!!
Just wish they had chicken breast - (way more healthier than chicken thigh)
My nephew got the Loco Moco and even though I never order that dish , it looked yummy as well.
We also tried a piece of their Mango Cream Cake = it was light and creamy
Cream Puffs - I like that this wasn't overly sweet either
Both desserts had the right amount of sweet but sadly they aren't always offered......
Gosh, Darn - this place is not at all near where I live and I am just about never in this area but if I am, I know where I'm eating.... -

BF and I wanted a Hawaiian day and got poke at Poke Express and then grabbed a lunch plate to share.
We got the 808 Special Mix Plate where you get to pick two meats, rice and mac for $9.50. We picked sesame chicken and shoyu chicken.
It's not as fast as other mixed plate places. That I suppose is can be a good thing since it's freshly cooked. We had some poke to nosh on from Poke Express anyways while we waited.
We bit into the sesame chicken and I thought it was supposed to have sauce so we asked if we can have some sauce. They said they were out of the sesame sauce...er, okay, thanks for letting us know when we got our order. I never had sesame chicken so I don't quite know now what it's really supposed to taste like. We asked for some katsu sauce then since it just needed something to dip the fried chicken in. Their katsu sauce is more tangy, almost ketchup-y compared to other places I've gone to. The shoyu chicken is 2 bone in thigh and it reminds me of Filipino adobo, but sweeter since it stews in the shoyu. The mac is interesting in that it has potato, and tuna in it...it's pretty good to me, but for some people who like plain mac might not be into it.
Overall the place was an okay place to get plate lunch. I'm very curious how their lau lau and kalua pork stack up. Til next time- 3.5 stars. -

Yet another great Hawaiian style plate lunch place that reminds me of home! Awesome food and great portions and prices as well. Phone orders available and choke parking as well. Wish it were a little closer to me but i cant be to picky haha. Places like this make me less homesick when in search of good comfort food from back home. The last time i went i ordered the Loco Moco, and wow the burgers were so thick and tender with the mac salad too! Definitely a winner!

Review from Demitri R.

Absolutely Delicious. I had the mixed plate with Sesame Chicken and Chicken Katsu. Had enough sauce on the Sesame but wasnt over powering. The Katsu came with big pieces with a nice mayo type sauce i never had before. Reasonably priced and i left full. I didnt have the Spam Musubi but it looked fresh. Spam isnt my forte though. The waitress comes around to check on you. And you feel like family when your in there. I will go back there again.

Service was as excellent as it could get. Ahi Katsu special was as good as it sounds. My daughter had the kalbi ribs that they cooked to her preference and even cut into little pieces which saved me about 20 mins. The Mac salad has potatoes in it, nice touch. The fries were salty but delicious. Definitely headed back to try the garlic shrimp.

You can not believe the eating delights that this "family" owned and operated eatery provides Tuesday through Sunday. For those from Hawaii, you will not miss Hawaii food anymore because 808 Hawaii Mixed Plate serves "ONO" dishes better than the islands. Their daily specials are just to "die for." Their regular menu items have the taste of Hawaii all through it. Home-style kind of "grindz."
What I really enjoy is the freshly made to order (not pre-made, frozen stuff from the box). I love their beef stew, kalbi short ribs, bbq (teri-style) chicken, and their "best-in-the-world" macaroni/potato salad and spam musubi. Their noddle dishes are always a winner! This great food comes at a price (not money), you may wait a little longer than for a MacDonald hamburger, but you lips will be doing a HAPPY dance once they taste the food. NO KIDDING!!! Oh, try their french fries with brown gravy. Yes, brown gravy. THE BEST brown gravy on this planet!!! Oh, I forgot their loco-moco (rice, hamburger patty, brown gravy, and topped with a fried egg!
While watching them prepare your meal, you know they love what they are doing and they love to see the smiles on their customers faces as they take a bite of their "local" food. It may not be the biggest place in Las Vegas, but the "bigness" is in their heart and soul as they ensure that we get the best "local-style" grindz in Las Vegas.
If you are from Hawaii and now living in the 9th island and have never been to 808 Hawaii Mixed Plate, Bro, you're missing out. Get in your car and go now!!!!
I love it when we are leaving the place, the workers thank us and wish us a great day! What they don't realize, is that we had just topped off a great day by eating their wonderful food. DON'T MISS OUT! Let's get out and support our family owned eateries!!!!1 Previous Review: Show all »

One of my new favorite places to visit when I visit Vegas and want to get some local Hawaiian food. The service here is friendly. I ordered the mixed sesame chicken and shrimp mixed plate. Their servings are generous! I recommend asking for the chicken katsu sauce for their sesame chicken to dip in, tastes great. I plan to visit again on my next trip to Vegas.
