| - From the shores of Hawaii, award winning sandwiches come crashing to the desert shores of Las Vegas the Ninth Island at Eastern at Serene like a tidal wave. Except here the shoreline is the sidewalk that wraps around the Walmart-anchored shopping center.
Las Vegas is a melting pot of cuisine from the shores of the world. This makes the Ninth Island an interesting place to explore restaurants. On my exploration of Hawaiian restaurants, my mind had been set on Rumbi Island Grill. Twice in recent times, Rumbi Island Grill went from mind to experience.
Rumbi Island Grill is relatively new to the Ninth Island. This location, the second one in Las Vegas opened this past summer. For several previous summers, Rumbi Island Grill has been popular in Utah where the majority of their locations are. In essence, Rumbi Island Grill is a Utah dining experience exported to Las Vegas. And their sandwiches made for a pleasant dining experience.
Upon scanning their menu, it appeared that they specialize in rice bowls. But life in the world of dining out can be kind of funny. From several experiences it appears that restaurants that promote one cruise such as Outback with steak or Nathan's with hotdogs; serve outstanding burgers and sandwiches. Rumbi Island Grill was the latest.
On visit one, I ordered the Kahuna Burger. This burger creation seemed to be the size of a football. This was a Super Bowl worthy burger sized burger. I tasted the two USDA ground beef patties marinated in teriyaki sauce, with the Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions topped off with a pineapple. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to return to Rumbi Island Grill. Fast forward to a week later, and I was inside exploring the Island Chicken sandwich. I liked the Island Chicken sandwich more than the Kahuna Burger. This thing was huge. Biting into this is like opening your mouth wide when the dentist is about to x-ray your teeth. My pictures below compliment this picture that I am putting into words. Between the patties were grilled chicken breast, Swiss cheese, red onion, mayonnaise, and in Island Grill fashion a pineapple. Both times that I dined here, I combo sized them into a meal. This added a fountain drink and rumbi fries. Rumbi fries are a mix of sweet potato and regular fries. A unique sauce that looks like thousand Island compliments the fries. The admission for this dining experience both times was around $11 and change.
To begin the dining experience, you enter a line that looks like ropes and poles from a ship. Before arriving at the counter, there are menus. The first time dining here, it could be overwhelming. The employees were happy to help. Upon paying for the food, they present you with a stamp card that eventually leads to a complimentary meal. Subsequently to paying, you find a table, pour your Coke beverage and take in the Hawaiin motif. There are Hawaii pictures and the music of the tropic provides a dining soundtrack. I was overhearing reggae and Jimmy Buffet to the degree that I was thinking this could be a restaurant from the Caribbean islands. They brought the food to the table on plates that they took off the table when I was done. The cheerful employees would check up on me. Both times I would leave Rumbi Island Grill full with just enough room in my stomach for the after dinner cup of Starbuck's coffee.
