Lefty-J's Island Favorites is a cozy counter-service spot in Vegas where you can savor delicious Hawaiian and Filipino delights like garlic chicken and loco moco amid beachy decor.
"For some of the best Hawaiian and Filipino food in Las Vegas, come to counter-service spot Lefty-J’s. Their island landscape mural, beach cottage decorations like a “let your dreams set sail” sign, and the cashier calling everyone “sweetheart” can’t help but soothe those who need a breather or low-key lunch. Get the robust garlic chicken if it’s one of their specials of the day, which are played on a TV behind the register. The mound of perfectly-crispy pieces have just the right balance of sweet and salty, and you’ll want to sop up the rest of the sauce with furikake rice. For a sampling of all their great meats, the BBQ trio plate will get you a little of the short rib, BBQ chicken, and teriyaki beef. On your way out, grab a couple of Spam musabis to sneak into the bars for a snack." - edward thompson, gabe bergado

"Find Filipino and Hawaiian favorites here, with plates of garlic chicken, loco moco, and spam musubi. The fried chicken is extra crunchy and served with a generous scoop of mac salad." - Krista Diamond
