Island Comfort is a small casual order at the counter restaurant that offers Guam Style Barbecue in Las Vegas Nevada.
They offer Guam Style Comfort Food Plates. That means you get TONS of food stuffed into a styrofoam container.
I tried the #2 BBQ Chicken – 3 chicken thighs with 2 scoops red rice, potato salad and chicken kelaguen (Guam chicken salad) This also came with a condiment called finadenne (vinegar, soy sauce, scallions, pepper)
The chicken has a nice char and has a really great moist texture…….But for me it is WAY TOO SALT FOWARD………To me it’s a SALT BOMB. It taste like I am chugging soy sauce. I DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS TYPICAL or an OFF BATCH? I do note that I might be slightly sensitive to salt…..But hey nothing crazy…I DO salt my food and I do EAT salted pretzels and salted nuts so I do eat more salt than some people. However my husband tolerates far more salt than I do and it is also too salty for him so I can say that this chicken bbq was too salt forward. The potato salad is ok. The chicken kelaguen (chicken salad is edible but a little dry. The rice is one note but maybe it’s suppose to be one note?
My husband tried the #3 All-In-One Plate – bbq chicken, spare rib, short rib, empanada, and lumpia with 2 scoops red rice, potato salad, chicken kelaguen (chicken salad), and condiment finadenne (vinegar, soy sauce, scallions, pepper)
He said the best thing in the plate was the lumpia (thing that looks like a spring roll stuffed with pork). The BBQ chicken ran extra salty. The beef rib had the same flavor but seemed less salty but was tough today. The pork rib was better but had very little meat on it. The rest ok.
I wanted to like this place and there were other plates that I wanted to try. I don’t know if I hit them on an off day or not?
This restaurant has an impressive 4.5 star average on Yelp so that means that most people do enjoy the food here.
That was my trip to Island Comfort.
