| - I've never completed a yelp review before, however, I was compelled to do a review for Island Style after my experience there today.
Condition: Don't let the location of a ghetto strip mall & exterior "hole-in-the-wall" appearance fool you. The restaurant is very clean and well-kept. Even the chopsticks are nicer than most restaurants in Vegas
Service: A+++ Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by Russell right away. Before i could even put my bag down he came by with free boiled peanuts, water and menu recommendations for us. Guess we looked like newbies :P Russell also made sure our water and tea glasses were never empty and kept refilling our side dishes without even being asked. He is definitely not stingy about his food like most Asian restaurants. We weren't treated as customers, but more like family
Food: A+++
- I got the Seafood Soondubu + Kalbi + Fish = A+++ Tasty tofu soup with clams, mushroom & shrimp. The kalbi and fish were good, but nothing extraordinary.
- My BF and GF got the Combo with Meat Jun, chicken & Kalbi with substituted fried rice. DELICIOUS! Not to mention, the portions were pretty big, which just means i get to share with them :P
Complimentary Side dishes: A+++ radish, cabbage kimchee, bean sprouts, & Hot dog with onions. My favorite was the cabbage kimchee --i could eat those like chips!!! The hot dog and bean sprouts were also yummy. Russell also brought us some dried seaweed and "korean style" kimchee to try out; that one was too sour for me.
I am definitely coming back the next chance i get! I love Russell's enthusiasm and charismatic personality! How he runs his restaurant is refreshing and rare in this town. My BF even said he felt like Russell was like an Uncle to him LOL
TIP: Don't confuse this restaurant with the one on spring mountain, with almost the same name!
