Love the food, but not so much the quantity. The rice to main dish proportions are off. There’s not enough main dish for the rice. We ended up throwing out 2 scoops of rice. Also, the garlic chicken could have been dunked in the sauce rather than being drizzled on.
Also, the girl working the front needs to greet the customers and not stand around just waiting for the customer to start talking. She also needs to raise her voice over the loud speakers especially for those sitting farthest away from the counter. Either that or lower the volume on the speakers. She also needs to study her menu items and options better as to not confuse and prevent people from ordering what they want. She’s a bit shy maybe? Not sure, but it would help to put someone w/ a more robust personality up front. 1st impressions are gold and unfortunately can’t be redone.

Very good food. The BBQ chicken is excellent. The ribs too. The macaroni salad was the best of all; it was so good we wanted to take more home. They should sell it in larger portions; it would be wonderful. The service was also very good, the girl at the register was very patient and attentive. This is one of those places you’ll want to return to. I wish it were closer to our house so we could go more often. Amazing taste and attention. Good job guys!

It’s been a while since my family and I have tried a “new” Hawaiian restaurant here on the 9th island (Las Vegas, for those that don’t know), and because of this, it was about that time to find one. I conducted my typical search on Google for restaurants across the valley, and not to my surprise, there were so many Hawaiian restaurants we haven’t tried yet. I was a little skeptical on trying Unko Frank’s because of the location – I live in the far Northwest part of the city and I didn’t feel like driving a far distance. But, I figured in order to experience different places, you’ll have to travel to get to some of them…and in this case, I’m glad I did.
We arrived ~an hour before they were closing on 16 May 2025, so I didn’t think the restaurant was going to be that busy. I was, however, shocked that this business was still processing to-go orders all the way to their advertised closing time, which I was glad to see this restaurant receiving a lot of business. In fact, there was a large family that arrived after we did so again, it’s good to see local businesses getting the attention they deserve. The two female employees working the counter were very friendly and highly efficient, greatly contributing to the overall operations. I wish I would’ve retrieved both names but one of them was Alondrha (spelling). I was also grateful that the employees brought out our food (yes, we dined in), instead of calling our number to pick it up at the counter…which I presumed was going to occur because they explicitly informed me of my order number. Hands-down, phenomenal customer service!
Speaking of our food, we ordered Gyoza, Spam Musubi (because I didn’t feel like making it at home), Unko’s Mixed Plate, Garlic Shrimp Plate, Spicy Furikake Garlic Chicken Plate, Fried Noodles Plate, and 1/4 lb Shoyu Ahi Poke for our entrées; Guava Cake and Chantilly Coco Puff for our dessert. First and foremost, the quantity of the food is the typical Hawaiian feast where you don’t leave the table hungry because they provide a lot of food just in one entrée alone. Second, I felt the star performers were definitely the BBQ Chicken (in Unko’s Mixed Plate), Garlic Shrimp, Furikake Chicken, and Guava Cake. Whereas the other items didn’t stand out as much, it was still adequate. I’ve had so many gyoza/mandu in my life to which I can say that I’ve had much better than the ones served here. Also, the beef quality (teri beef and kalbi) were just satisfactory to me – the texture didn’t satisfy as much as I hoped for…but it wasn’t a disappointment either. The Fried Noodles were decent, but again, I’ve had several iterations of noodles in my life and this one just seemed a little bland (yes, even with all the kamaboko, cabbage, and I believe it was char sui in there). Also, this is only a personal issue but I was hoping that the restaurant had some Chinese hot mustard so I could pour it on to my noodles (sorry, I was raised to eat it that way on the islands). Aside from these things, the food here is satisfying.
The price-to-quantity/quality was very reasonable. In fact, I think most Hawaiian restaurants understand the importance of serving a lot of food or else they won’t receive an adequate amount of “locals” in their restaurants. I highly respect this business for their continued support to the active men and women of the Armed Forces, including its Veterans – thank you for that! The restaurant wasn’t massive but the décor was nice and the music selection was good. Overall, I liked my experience here as depicted in my 4-star rating. Could I see myself returning to try other items on their menu? You betcha! However, it won’t be anytime soon due to the restaurant’s proximity to my house…but I do plan on returning. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! Mahalo Nui Loa, to Unko Frank’s staff, for the experience.

This place is amazing! We got the mini BBQ Chicken plate and the mini Spicy Furakake Garlic Chicken plate. Both were fantastic. Their staff is very helpful. We had a hard time deciding and they gave great recommendations.

Unko Frank’s Hawaiian BBQ, which started as a food truck and has been open for five years, offers a slice of Hawaiian paradise in the middle of Las Vegas.
From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with the warm aloha spirit, and the manager, JV, is super attentive, ensuring every guest feels like family.
The menu is a delightful journey through Hawaiian flavors. The poke nachos are a must-try, blending fresh poke with crispy nachos for a unique twist. The spicy tuna musubi is another excellent appetizer & my go to comfort food.
Their pickled sides: pickled garlic, kimchi, and taegu provide a tangy and spicy counterpoint to the richer dishes. For the main course, the kalbi combo with shrimp is a standout, with perfectly grilled kalbi and succulent shrimp.
The fried noodles are deliciously savory, and the spicy furikake chicken offers a satisfying kick. Don’t miss the lau lau, a traditional Hawaiian dish and my absolute favorite. Reminded me of home.
If you visit on the weekend, be sure to save room for dessert. The ube haupia is a creamy, dreamy delight. Additionally, Unko Frank’s offers specialty items like Noms candy and chocolate for purchase. The ube chocolate and banana lumpia chocolate are particularly worth trying.
Unko Frank’s Hawaiian BBQ is a must for anyone craving authentic Hawaiian cuisine in Las Vegas.

Meat is super chewy thin
Chicken long rice is fresh … chicken does not taste fresh cooked from frozen…
Asked for sauce they gave me a drip in a container
Thru on a budget after charging me 70 for two plates…

I was really looking forward to this place. The reviews were great and the pics looked delicious. We ordered a shoyu poke bowl, kali ribs, poke nachos, and the hawaiian plate. The food is just mediocre. The shoyu poke was way too sweet and everything else we had (laulau, kalua pork, kalbi) was just average or below average. Our rice was a bit dry and hard. I am sure it was left over rice from the day before. Can’t say it was bad but all I can say is it was just ok.

I’ve had Unko Frank’s before but have never visited the restaurant. Glad I did stop by. Easy parking and the food truck was parked in the front so it was easy to find. It’s pretty small restaurant but luckily there were seats available. I always enjoy the garlic chicken so I ordered that. I didn’t want a plate so I had the kids portion that came with 1 scoop of rice. I also enjoyed the pineapple with li hing powder. Service was good and the food came out quick. Definitely will return.

Delicious grindz like back in the hawaiian Islands. Was busy even had some aunties all sorts. U can tell everything is good. The garlic chicken had nice crunch (Kays bento kine). Noodles look like leeward style. Mac salad good kalbi was damn tasty. Workers nice owner too. A hui hou

A friend recommended this place so we wanted to try it. I get this was a holiday weekend, and I’m sure everyone wanted to go home. I tried to order online but they weren’t taking online orders. So I tried to call in my order but the girl who answered said they were closing in 1/2 hour and weren’t taking orders. I told her I was 10 minutes away, I still need to show up and order at the counter? She said yes, so that’s what we did. So we get there and we order the katsu curry and a combo plate (bbq chicken & beef). We get our order and the katsu comes with a container of salad dressing? Where was the rice? Where is the curry? I had to ask for they curry, because that is what I ordered. Then I open the combo plate and I was disappointed. I get that they are new, will I come back? Can’t say that I will, there are other “local food” places that do better.
