Lava Grill

I had higher expectations. If the quality of the rice improved it would be much better. The rice is too mushy and moist.

Not to be confused with the 2005 movie Shark Boy and Lava Girl, Lava Grill is a handy, healthy option when you’re too lazy to meal prep but want to hit your macros and/​or eat clean on a budget. Menu selections are beef, chicken, or salmon, on your choice of white or brown rice, with or without vegetables. The meats are actually cooked on lava rocks for a nice char, and it smells great in here.
But on my first visit, they were out of salmon and on my second they were out of brown rice, which was disappointing considering their menu is already pretty limited. They offer «lava sauce» and bottles of Sriracha to add flavor to your food. Everything’s fresh and made to order, décor is a little sparse. Wish they had additional sauce options as my food was kind of plain, with just a small drizzle of (teriyaki?) sauce with the meat. Meal prices range from $ 4 – 7, very affordable.

This place gets 4 stars for service and 3 stars for food and I’ll explain why. They took down chairs for us after cleaning their dining room and staying open for me and my family (boyfriend, baby and I) instead of closing early when we came in on a Friday night.
I always passed this place and never knew it was a barbecue type teriyaki joint. Right up my alley. I’m a big fan of teriyaki madness but the unique thing about this place is that the meat is cooked over lava rocks giving a unique charred flavor to the meat. Boyfriend ordered pork and I ordered chicken with veggies and noodles. If you’re trying to be healthy it’s a great option and definitely good portion but if you’re hungry like me who hadn’t eaten much all day id suggest ordering more meat.
My portion was an average size but I was still hungry. Like I said didn’t eat much that day. My meat had a good flavor though, noodles had good texture and the veggies too. My boyfriends pork was very juicy and tasty. The workers or wonders were very friendly. 4 stars for service and 3 stars for food.

still the best! MUST TRY! if you are in a rush call them ahead. always prompt and delicious! it isn’t teriyaki sauce, it’s lava sauce. my go to lunch spot

Great food! Great service! Always made fresh! I order take out twice a week from here… My order is always ready at the appointed time given… The best part about the delicious food cooked over lava rocks is it’s not riddled with poisonous ingredients like High Fructose corn syrup and ammonia hydroxide.

When a place let’s you see the entire kitchen operations, it’s usually a good sign. No exception here. Well organized, clean and turning out quality food. Portions are respectable for the price and you don’t feel guilty for eating «food-​like» products. There’s a family owned feel to this place located in an unassuming strip mall.
In the spirit of constructive criticism, the place could use a little interior design help, as the setting doesn’t really match the level of the food. One more note would be to use plates instead of takeout boxes for customers who want to eat on site. Lastly, keeping the Windows clean would go a long way to improving the clean feeling.
All in all, a great value and I’ll most likely return next time I’m in Vegas.

Nothing special and a little bit of food. It wasn’t worth the money. The short ribs are pretty much like the kind that you get at the typical Hawaiian places. The rice was was very dry and gritty. The guy at the front, maybe the owner, was not friendly when you walked in and looked angry. I almost walked out because of that.

Lava Grill is a simple, affordable, and casual spot good for take out orders or a quick dine in.
They serve brown or white rice bowls with your choice of grilled meats and the option to add veggies or double meat.
Chicken starts at $ 3.99 with salmon being the most expensive at $ 6.99.
I got a salmon box with added veggies & a chicken bowl.
I wasn’t expecting the salmon to be so good, but it was really cooked perfectly aka MOIST! I definitely recommend it.
My co-​worker said the grilled chicken was good although it looked a little burned upon first glance.
«Looks can be deceiving» must be their motto as the gun shot on the door almost scared me away. I’m glad I stayed and I’m glad to support a local business.
I suggest getting sauce as I can see some people thinking the meats are bland.
They take cash and cards.

The only thing I could say about this place is, great food at a affordable price!!!
I work down the street from Lava Grill and I started frequenting this place since the first day they opened their doors. I come here around three times during the week. The taste of the food is phenomenal. You can never go wrong with any of their dishes, they offer pork, chicken, steak and short ribs. Do not be afraid of trying any off their food, I guarantee that you will love it. The staff and owners are really helpful and humble, in my opinion. As you can see, I highly recommend this place to have a good and affordable lunch.
Thank you Lava Grill!!!

OMG… Best place for hawaiian food! Everything is Soooo fresh, perfectly cooked!!!
They should open one in Cali!

We’ve now been eating here for 10 months, the food continues to be very good, when you factor in the price it is great value.

Love this place! They’re up and coming they’ve only been open for 8 months now. For the quality of food and the price this place definitely gets 5 stars. Just stopped in and got dinner for me and the hubby and it was under $ 9! It’s nice, simple, and healthy. Great customer service as well.

Friendly staff. Quick service. Good was great and was a very reasonable price. They have Hawaiian sun drinks. Great tasting food. Very nice spot for a nice lil lunch. Chicken, brown rice, veggie bowl for $ 3.99

Great food and look out for their special menu. I got double chicken.
Ample Parking Space
Only reason why I am giving it a 4 star because how smokey it can get in the restaurant. I don’t feel their is not enough exhaust vents.

Much better alternative than all the fast food joints with very reasonable prices. On several occasions I’ve ordered the chicken and veggies with white rice (yes, I’ve gotta expand my selection). The portion is perfect, the chicken is tender, and the lava sauce is light and flavorful. The veggies tend to be a bit soggy, otherwise would be a 4 star rating.
The place is small and casual (which I like) with three rows of parking (one in front of the store, one in the middle, and one facing Flamingo). I’ve never had an issue parking. Orders only take about 10 minutes during lunch — pretty quick for cooking to order.
Overall, great prices, tender chicken, and healthy alternative. Thank you!

Positive: The food was very good and cheap. Negative: The parking lot really sucks and they only have a few tables to eat at.
Most people were standing around waiting for their take out. They only had two guys running the whole place cooking and taking orders so they should probably hire one more assistant chef or something. I had the chicken and veggies with brown rice. Just a few tweaks and this place could be a real gem in this not-​so-​good part of town.

Great nutritious food for a great price and it’s right behind my house :)! The only reason I can’t give five stars yet is because I forgot to ask for the lava sauce so it was very dry for me and reminded me of chicken teriyaki without the teriyaki sauce :(haha anyways I will be going back to try out the lava sauce and hopefully I can update my review to five stars !

The food is fantastic!!! The prices are amazing! The atmosphere, fast take out… Everything is served in styrofoam containers…
We ate in the «dining room». No table service here… Serve your own drinks and pick up your styrofoam entrees at the counter…
The cook was very pleasant and asked how we enjoyed his food. He even asked if we needed anything… The cashier, (older guy) not so pleasant… Nice enough… But kinda grumpy. We will order take out for sure…
Again, the food is healthier and delicious!!!

5 stars for this type of food :)
VERY good food, VERY good prices, fun, creative décor. I tried the chicken with veggies and brown rice plate, $ 3.99 special– good AND healthy :) You could tell it was cooked over lava rocks. And they actually have a good assortment of Hawaiian Sun drinks. Definitely try it out, and when you do, don’t forget to ask for the yummy Lava Sauce.

Just a couple of bites and I am very pleased. My usual lunch is chicken and vegetables, and this is an amazing substitute! The price is more than great for the food you get and its quick to pick up.
Only qualm is that I now am back and work and smell like a barbecue. It’s a pretty small place so the kitchen smoke wafts out into the restaurant.
