| - Heard about another local food spot just opened in Vegas. Always always stay down when comes to local food not only because from 808 but best comfort food ever two scoops rice, mac salad, and entree. I must admit had my reservations cause over the past twenty years living in Vegas (or locals know call Vegas the ninth island) almost over saturated with local spots. The ones that truly stand out for me is individual family own restaurant nothing to do with chains (not that hater still good). Not only does Fist of Fusion Island Grill stand out writing it or saying it out loud. It truly embodies Ohana. I never had conversation with Ronnie or Lisa but reading other reviews. Chef Ronnie was making the rounds asked me how was everything I had for lunch. A new business when see the owner takes time out to come out get feedback from every guest. Not only does it show his passion for his food, also like past review shows that each customer is not customer but part of the Ohana, and felt like living back in the 808.
So first impression was talk about feeling the Aloha spirit! Not only on the wall with coolest sign that the world needs more of. The staff shouting out Mahalos and welcome. They were consistent with every one that came in the hour chilling having my lunch. It small restaurant but has lot of personality in it. The art work on the wall soon walk in. It pretty much covers that whole wall. It looks very much original. It vibrant colors that screams at you. Hula girl with ukulele. Just chilling on the beach. The shaka sign from the logo to the open and close sign on the door. The sit down counter area. It screams personality but very much 808. Above they have three wide screens. The music!!!! So awesome!!! It totally local style Hawaiian music.
The food the menu has nice diversity to it. It not huge menu. It broken down to bowls, burritos, tacos, salads, apps, and ono grindz. It was my first visit not sure where to start. I know the Crispy Torino Span Musubi. One of the reasons came. I have been in this non spam musubi style kick. I seen the katsu style spam musubi but never had one. Talk about WINNAH. I know seen others that the whole musubi is deep fried. Never had so no going compare. I feel Crispy Torino Spam Musubi. If going katsu style this does Spam Musubi right. Only the Spam that breaded katsu style with the panko action. The rest of it is normal spam musubi. The part that separates Crispy Torino Spam Musubi from nothing had before is the tocino sauce. It perfect compliment to the crispy breading with what tastes like aioli based sauce or am guessing. Good. My entree went with the Sesame Chicken Bowl. The bowl comes in three different sizes. I went with the large. Talk about choke food. I was hungry after morning swim set. The amount of chicken give you is local style, the two scoops of rice is mound not scoop, and bowls come with choice of sides. I went with mac salad (cause dah two scoops rice mac salad need I say more) and stir fry vegetables. The mac salad was solid and the stir fry vegetables was nice medley of all fresh vegetables nice crispy and tell fresh vegetables. I was loved the sauce that coated the chicken and then get some on the side. All good stuff.
Little touch comes details. All the bowls or notice all the bowls coming out that day. They had flower in them. It nice one that see back home. All I was thinking if going out of way make it feel like Hawaii that nice touch.
No doubt plan on coming back because close to my house. The boneless short ribs other dish torn apart to try first. This churro missed out on need try some of that too. Till the next time...
