Rice Trax Teriyaki Grill

Shame! They closed this business and decided to text some workers they closed. And I believe some showed up to work and with was closed. Poor management and shame for local people.

One of our favorite local food restaurants to fill our local/​Hawaiian cravings. Being born and raised in Hawaii, my husband and I always try to find restaurants that remind of us of home and this one does. They expanded their menu from being a fried rice bar with bentos to adding many of the local favorites like saimin, beef stew, katsu with brown gravy or curry and much more! Today we went and learned that you can dine in with servers and its been 1 week since they started this… Also they open on Monday’s! Thank you for bringing the island flavors to Vegas!

Like this place very much. The fried rice is extremely good I get the bento box 3. And aways have leftovers for that midnight snack.
Very sad that they closed their doors. The food was very good

I have mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, they relatively inexpensive bentos considering they have huge portions that are easily customizable. (Can’t beat an average of $ 10 per bento!) On the other hand, I always eat more that I should here and because the food is so heavy I end up regretting it in the end. They have preset combinations but I always make my own. You can do a 2 item or 3 item combo and each comes with your selection of rice, your chosen entrees, Mac salad, and 2 sauces. The garlic chicken, mochiko chicken and furikake shrimp are stand outs in the menu. You can choose their house fried rice, white rice, brown rice, or make your own. The kimchi friend rice is one of their offerings and it had a pretty good flavor but it’s way too oily/​greasy.
They take a long time to prepare/​cook your food so order ahead and take it to-​go.

I know been too long since update cause totally slacking on my Bento Action! Instead of going with the make your own went with one of Bento combinations on the menu. I got the Furikake Bento. Updated review let me add bringing back the Furikake not that I don’t get enough at home. It kind of like Spam if your local from da islands you know certain things that go with rice. Furikake is one of them!!! The Furikake Shrimp was awesome! It basically shrimp tempura with nice light panko breading style not greasy or heavy. They toss it with the Furikake seasoning. The shrimp is nice most and hot on the inside. It first time ordered the Furikake Shrimp definitely not my last time! They were so addicting could have whole Bento of it. =)) Two other entrée was the teriyaki chicken and the teriyaki beef. I had both before and still right on point. I enjoy the fact that everything comes on screws. It makes easy too eat, not so messy, and leaves more room for rice. Forget too mention Furikake on rice. Seriously can never have enough of the good things in life. The house salad (instead of mac salad) really enjoy. The greens are nice fresh, crispy, and like the house dressing comes on top of it. Plus they don’t drown the salad with the dressing. Whatever the dipping sauce they give you with the Furikake Shrimp is da bomb.
In the need for Bento at reasonable price really no other spot would go in town. Looking forward too my next Bento!!!

Came here last night with my boyfriend to get some food before we headed home. We felt bad that we came right before closing, but I don’t regret it just because of the fact that the food was great!
We got the mochiko chicken plate to-​go that had mochiko chicken, shrimp tempura, chicken katsu, house salad, beef skewers, and rice topped with furikake. Everything was so good and I couldn’t find one wrong thing about the box of food. I’m very surprised and impressed that this restaurant uses furikake and mochiko considering the fact that most restaurants don’t include those ingredients in their food.
Overall, this place has amazing food. It would be better if their plates were a dollar cheaper but I’m fine with the prices now. The food is worth it.
Also, we were pleased to see that the cashier noticed that we did Kung fu (she saw the shoes we were wearing)! She was friendly and interactive!

I’d give this place 4.5 stars if I could. The only thing that’s stopping me from giving it 5 is that it is kind of pricey. A bento is ~$ 10 depending on what you get. But you do get your money’s worth because the portions size is pretty large and the bento combos come with plenty of food. It’s just that I’d rather pay less for less food than more money for food that may not get finished. But that’s just me.
Anyways, I got the Mochiko bento which came with Mochiko chicken, salad, rice, shrimp tempura, chicken katsu, and beef skewers. Like I said, it’s plenty of food that also tastes good. I particularly liked the chicken Katsu. There was something about the flaky breading that made it taste better. Their rice comes with furikake which was nice too. This place is worth a visit :)

Asian fast food and lots of it. It was intresting, just not something I want or crave. The kids love it, its fast and convenient. No frills, nothing memorable, it is what it is.

Got the mochiko bento with fried rice, first thought was prices are kinda high but then you see the portion size and understand, one bento is enough to feed a small family!
As far as the food goes it’s pretty basic in flavors nothing really is going to wow you, shrimp tempura was pretty soggy and over battered, chicken was a bit dry. I wasn’t expecting much out of this place just a quick place to grab something to eat. The house fried rice though… O. M…G… Disgusting, the amount of garlic and salt is way over kill that is the only flavor going on inside, I can’t believe I payed extra to be tortured with this horrid rice I can’t even stomach. It gets three stars because of the friendly service I got, but if I’m hungry I think I’ll pass this place up.

I didn’t have a personal affinity for their previous location, but my fiancé did, and he really doesn’t like this new location at all and thinks its lost a bit of it’s charm as a mom and pop place. I, for one, love this location because 1) it allowed Tonkatsu Kiyoshi to move in to it’s old spot 2) there’s a lot more space and seating for when you’re waiting on your order. For the first few weeks of the grand opening, I think they were still getting adjusted to the new location and orders were overwhelming them. However, I think now they have adjusted and are able to serve customers quickly again. I’m a big fan of their House Fried Rice, with added egg and corn. I usually order 3 items, which I never finish, but I figured this place is all about the reliable leftovers. For the sake of my health, I don’t frequent this place too much, but it’s a nice place to go to when I feel the world is just a little bit too stressful and I just want some Hawaiian comfort food. I’m not sure if they’ve done so already, but I think it would help if they took orders on an electronic system, versus writing every thing down by hand. I really would recommend taking a to-​go menu and calling ahead if you are in a rush though, make sure to get a side of the mac salad!

WHO KILLED THE CHICKEN
Our first visit and we ordered «The Favorites» Furikake and Mochiko style. Everything is served in takeout styrofoam boxes with white plastic utensils. Like everyone had previously pointed out, the delivery of the food is «don’t tell me you’re in a hurry» cause it won’t matter. Sit down and check out the high ceilings and chill braddah and sistas.
Now let’s move up the pace and talk chicken. Teriyaki cubes were missing the teri sauce. Katsu chicken same story… no flavor and wishing I had ordered McNuggets.
As for the rest of my two pound box… I can dig it. Beef teri was beef jerky tasting yummy. Shrimp more than stretched my imagination. Mochiko chicken was succulent and tastefully seasoned. Mac salad was to my liking. In fact the next time, I’d make my own bento box with those three choices. If you’re a rice eater, this place makes it real fresh and good. Wish I could substitute the rice for more salad.
BTW… invest in a bigger trash container or get one that compacts all your diners’ styrofoam. I witnessed multiple complaints of trash container being too full.

Not the healthiest food but who cares!
I’ve been living in the vicinity for years and finally got my butt to Rice Trax.
I was disappointed in the girl that waited on me (I think she may have been new). There was no line so I let her know it was my first time in and was a bit overwhelmed with the menu. She didn’t bat an eye or offer any advice, so I chose to build my own bento with Chicken Katsu (on a stick), Shrimp Tempura, and Shrimp Furikake. I had no idea what Furikake was and I asked the girl, her response was, «it has seasoning on it, it’s good». Not very helpful, I verified that it wasn’t spicy and put in my order. I noticed after the fact they have Mac salad, so I ordered a side. I now know you can substitute it in place for their salad for an up charge. (No thanks to counter girl). She never mentioned I could get fried rice or did I want any certain sauces. I know for next time though.
Who I am guessing was the manager was very nice and efficient, I wish she would’ve waited on me! I got my food quickly. I liked all of my food. There was one sauce they gave me, I didn’t care for. The portion of rice was huge! Price is maybe a tad high but it was fresh, not greasy, and tasty. I will definitely go back, an probably soon!

I’ve always been a big fan of Rice Trax but almost forgot about going there because of where they were previously located. I’m excited that they moved, a block closer to me and a lot easier to get to for everyone else. I’m loving the new digs a lot more, near businesses like Oyshi and Soyo on Rainbow and Robindale.
Vegas has a few decent bento places but nothing else really like Rice Trax. They raised their prices about $ 0.50 more from what I remembered. The bentos are now about $ 10 with big portions and lots of taste. My favorite is the Furikake Bento probably because it came with furikake shrimp, pieces of golden fried shrimp with furikake a mixture of sesame seeds and seaweed. It also comes with their house salad which is their tastiest item, teriyaki beef and chicken, rice, and a delicious dipping sauce.
Most recently, basically today, I had the Mochiko Bento. It came with mochiko chicken, its a lot like popcorn chicken but using mochiko flour, kind of oily and gummy I didn’t like it a lot. It also came with large pieces of chicken katsu, a couple pieces of shrimp tempura, skewered teriyaki beef, rice, and more of that tasty house salad. It was a lot of fried oily food but good tasting food.
You can also create your own 3 items and 2 items bentos from any of the items they have listed and create your own fried rice by choosing items from their fried rice bar.
Their food look good and taste good but watch out for their wooden skewers in some of their items, they don’t taste so well.

I miss when this place was located on Jones and the wait wasn’t that long.
One star taken off because of how ridiculously long it took for our two 3 item bento boxes to be ready. It would have been 1 ½ stars but I am not offered that option lol. From ordering to finish, it was 45 minutes. Granted, it was a busy dinner hour. It just sucks when you are hungry and waiting…
I always have kimChi in my fried rice, always. At this new location, it seems like the fried rice got sweeter. I’m not fond of too much sweet teriyaki-​ish flavor, especially in my rice. The garlic chicken is the bomb and my favorite here.
Next time, we’ll just order before we get there.

Two Words = Fried Rice.
1 star = That’s right, you get to make your own and the way you like it. You get to pick what goes in, what kind of sauce to use, and it is made to order! Awesome idea, but they should put out some recipe ideas on the wall or something because it certainly slows down service as there is ALWAYS a line here. Folks can’t make up their mind on what goes in their rice! Maybe another register would work out better?
2 stars = Bento Boxes; I like that they come with so many items. It’s like a mini buffet! I like their Mochicko Chicken and Furikake Shrimp sides.
3 stars = Fast food Asian food; gotta have one in the neighborhood. Great go to place for quick dinner for the family.
Lacks 4 stars because of the smell of Simple Green or whatever cleaning product they use every time I go in. Kind of ruins your appetite!
Lacks 5 stars because of the wait. Never had this problem when they were on Jones.

What a yummy find!
You can create your own bento or choose from their pre-​made choices. I opted for Mochiko Bento & the bf chose Furikake Bento.
Let me start off by saying, oh my goodness, the portions are ridiculous! They are so generous! No, really. Like I could share a bento with someone and we would both still be super full.
Anyway, you can choose white, brown or fried rice. Fried rice has an upcharge of like $ 1.25 or something. Kinda pricey, I know, but I wanted to try it. They ask what veggies & I just chose peas, carrots and corn. It was tasty. Not the best fried rice but I liked it. It needed more flavor though. Like somekindof seasoning. Maybe garlic salt? I like egg on my fried rice too so that’s another negative thing.
Mochiko chicken was more on the salty side & I usually have mochiko more on the sweet side. I liked the chicken katsu on the stick. Dipped it in the Teri sauce and sweet chili and aioli sauces (all free btw, just ask); they were all good condiments! Teriyaki steak was tender and not chewy. Boyfriend loved his bento too. He finished all his shrimp and Mac salad! I did not even touch the house salad. I just wasn’t a fan of it at all.
All in all, portions were definitely very generous, food was tasty but watch out, price can rack up if you add extra things.

HATE Nothing.
DISLIKE Space is inefficient and somewhat poorly designed (lots of room but limited seating). Chicken katsu is on a stick. The funny & friendly manager is not behind the counter anymore.
LIKE The mochiko chicken. The actual chicken katsu. The sin city shrimp appetizer. The furikake shrimp. The different sauces offered.
LOVE The combo bentos/​boxes. The fried rice bar. The portion sizes.

Didn’t know what we wanted for dinner, came across this so we gave it a chance. The food was delicious, one of the best easy fast foodish teriyaki place I’ve had… will def come back again!

Discovered this place through my friend’s IG (thanks Mae!). This place is 4 stars just for the ease of ordering, decent variety, flavor, portion size (large– very Hawaiian) and flavor. I particularly like the Mochiko chicken. Fried rice seems to always come sautéed in some kind of soy-​based sauce. Very Hawaiian in flavor and focus. Decent options in fountain drinks including 4 types of iced tea. All in all for prices hovering around $ 9.50-$ 12 it’s a filling, somewhat fast option for a working lunch. I had to take off stars for 1) very limited seating, 2) no POS system (waiting in line to order is common since they WRITE DOWN all the orders!). Everything btw comes in a styrofoam takeout container– even done in orders, lol. Other than that, decent place to grab a simple filling Hawaiian plate-​style lunch.

Serendipity is having an appointment at my nearby optometrist and discovering that the new Rice Trax location is open! I’m a huge fan of Rice Trax, so I couldn’t pass it up.
The food is just as good as I remember. I ordered the Mochiko Bento. Obviously, it comes with Mochiko Chicken and adds two Teriyaki Beef skewers, two Chicken Katsu skewers, and a couple of Shrimp Tempura. This is all served on a bed of rice with some salad on the side. It’s always too much food and I had enough willpower this time to only eat about half of the bento.
No longer tucked at the back of an obscure shopping complex, the new location is much easier to find. It’s right by DQ on the southwest corner of Rainbow and Robindale. The interior is bright and welcoming. The employees are friendly.
This is all great news.
