Over a few visits we tried –

Lets taco about it – spicy tuna tacos with garlic aioli, fried garlic, and scallions – YUM!

Taco Belle – Pulled Teriyaki short ribs, serrano rings, spicy citrus slaw, micro cilantro – really delicious!

Crispy Rice – Coconut rice, spicy tuna, avocado, microgreens – just tasty

Salmon Spring Rolls – avocado, Philly cream cheese, honey mustard miso – just tasty

(2) yuzu hama – yellowtail hand rolls with yuzu kosho -YUM! the yuzu kosho (Japanese condiment of hot pepper, garlic, and yuzu) adds something so special to sushi. It should be offered everywhere that offers sushi.

Spicy Tuna Roll – As fresh as can be! Today not very spicy but today I noticed how truly FORKING AMAZING that this was. This had to be the best wasabi that there is anywhere. It really elevated the whole thing.

oishi shrimp – I didn’t eat the shrimp but I tasted the Japanese cocktail sauce and OMG! YUM! it’s the best cocktail sauce that I have ever tasted……IDK but I think it was made with yuzu kosho and rice vinegar? (I’m going to have to try making this myself.)

super smashed taters – with kizam chimichurri – Just delicious with creamy textured potatoes.

Toga Onions – Tempura battered onion rings that are seasoned just so…….and comes with shish ranch and gochujang cream…YUM!

JFC (Japanese fried chicken) sliders – with Nippon coleslaw and pickles……SUPER delicious but ask for extra pickles next time….The pickles are really amazing and make the sandwich BURST into a party in your mouth. They put enough pickles on the full size JFC sandwich but the sliders do need a second pickle so you can get the full experience.

I do have to say that the Happiest Hour menu from The Pepper Club is certainly Worth a Fork!

Lulu Hawaiian BBQ is a casual Hawaiian Restaurant with three locations in Las Vegas. The Decatur Road location is very casual. You order and pay at the counter and seat yourself. They make the food fresh to order so you must wait for it to be prepared. There are many Hawaiian restaurants in Las Vegas. Someone from Hawaii told me, “Didn’t you know that Las Vegas is the 9th Hawaiian Island? ….anyways…..Not all but some of the other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants in the area are more “Chipotle Style” as the food is already prepared like a buffet behind glass.

We tried a variety of things.

Side order of bbq beef.

It’s a generous size and is infused with flavors and is very tender.

Here’s a combo of seafood and bbq chicken.

The chicken is tender, and the shrimp are fried nice. The fried fish is very thin and isn’t the freshest. This all is on a bed of finely shredded cabbage and also comes with a soy-like condiment, tarter sauce, and a side cup of creamy macaroni salad.

We also tried the spicy chicken.

The dark meat chicken is wonderfully tender but some of it is covered in soft chicken skin. Although it has many flavors to it but it runs a bit oily today. It isn’t very spicy but does have some heat to it. It also sits over finely shredded cabbage and comes with a soy-like condiment and a side cup of creamy macaroni salad.

Portions were extra large. Prices were low. We were checked on and the cashier around me a bag on her own to bring home the leftovers.

That was my trip to Lulu Hawaiian BBQ.

What to pick????

We tried Kowbird –

We got a very large Nashville Style Chicken Sandwich with creamy slaw.

We also got to try Easy Slider –

We tried a ground in-house burger with American cheese (not much cheese) and sweet onion. We also tried a maitake mushroom with gochujang glaze and kimchi slaw and chicken fried onions.

We were also able to fit in smoked amberjack dip with trout roe and pickled onions from Bar Oystetette.

That’s just a small sampling of what you might find at The Sundry. All was good but people kept trying to clear our plates several times before we were finished….Maybe an opening hiccup?

Bob Taylor’s Ranch House is a barbecue restaurant located in Las Vegas Nevada. This restaurant has been around since 1955. WOW that’s a long time…..It actually smells like barbecue as you get to the entrance.

On your way in you pass by a big bar and a wood fired grill.

Country tunes are piped into the dining areas.

It was lunch time so I went with a bbq chicken salad.

It was made of warm soggy iceberg lettuce.

It’s also surrounded by tender white meat chicken covered in a sickening sweet bbq sauce and then the soggy warm lettuce is topped with parmesan cheese.

My husband tried a Western BBQ burger (and asked for it medium – rare).

The onion rings are fried crisp and are good….but the burger is cooked till all dried out and grey inside.

Maybe it was better in 1955?
