LAS VEGAS: Aloha Eats Edition

[@TheJm129]

Poor Leslie. She got picked on and she doesn't even get a credit....it should be Bill & Lisa's Food and Travel with special guest star Leslie! 🙂

[@dualbladechef4558]

Can't believe I'm just stumbling upon this, you've reviewed us quite a few times as I've gone through and watched several of your vlogs. My name is Jason Executive chef of Aloha Specialties and I am so very glad you enjoy our food. We work very hard to give the people the absolute best and keeping the local tradition alive as many Hawaiian restaurants have lost their way and abandoned the old school classics. Please visit again! On behalf of all of us Thank you! 🤙

[@billandlisa]

Hi Jason! We absolutely love Aloha Specialties! We'll be back for sure!!

[@iffy2345]

Any gluten free meals???

[@susana301301]

All of your vlogs are unique and wonderful to watch! Each feels like an adventure. Sometimes when we're lucky we also get to see Lisa's sister...can't ask for more.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much!

[@unclesicecream]

Aloha, Lisa and Bill! Mahalo nui for giving us a try - so glad you enjoyed! We really appreciate the shoutout (and don't you love Leilani's?!) We love what you guys do, thanks for a little touch of home. Warm aloha! Barbara 🤙🏼😊

[@billandlisa]

Aloha Barbara! Your ice cream sandwiches are amazing! We’d love to highlight your product in a future episode and tour your facility. We’ll be in Oahu mid December and of course Vegas once a month. Just contact us via email in the video description if interested.

[@tysoncamarao3412]

Mahalo Uncles!

[@stephc1144]

Love Hawaiian food ❤. Bill's reaction to those ribs at Straight Up Cafe and Lisa's review of the kalua pig...wow makes me want to drive to Vegas right now to try 😋

[@diannem5775]

Good to see Leslie!

[@lisaj5835]

I thought I was going to that store for chocolate chip cookies and an ice-cream sandwich, now I am surprising my son in law with his favorite, a Hawaiian meal! Thanks Bill & Lisa

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome. =)

[@dinkydoo4994]

Yay!! One of our faves, Aloha Specialties, our "must eat" place since 2009! Back then, they had "serve yourself water/ice and to-go boxes". Have updated the premises nicely. Food just as good as back then! Will def be patronizing Leilani's Attic, tho, I always visit Beef Jerky Store annually. Hubby was delighted to see y'all at our fave place, like home away from home, and was very impressed by Lisa's descriptions of her every bite! The food at Straight Up looks delish and will be a must stop next year! Always enjoy your dining in Vegas. Thank you!

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome! Soft drink (water) machine still self serve.Love the Beef Jerky Store too. We usually drop by when we're in Downtown. Thanks so much for watching!

[@dinkydoo4994]

@@billandlisa Back then, tho, wasn't a water machine but a pitcher of water! Also, Styrofoam to-go's and plastic bags there handy. 😆

[@leilaniluke1807]

TY for showcasing local HI restaurants run by Hawaiians also employing locals.

[@leeannkleine6120]

We always have breakfast at the Cal when in Vegas. Probably been going for 25 years or more. Looking forward to checking out Leilani's Attic!

[@Alan-sl7qz]

I remember asking Bill a while back if he ever had food in a different location that was better than the place of origin. I guess you can add the Hawaiian food from Straight Up Cafe in Vegas to the short list👍

[@billandlisa]

Those ribs were pretty darn good!

[@geewizcw8821]

Straight Up is in our neighborhood and next to the gym we go to. We decided to try for lunch when they opened and had the same items as you guys! I will say just pure awesomeness!! We've ordered for take-out numerous times now. The family that runs it are the nicest people too. She makes all the cakes which are pure delish. Hubby does all the grillin' and always has a smile on his face. And yes, portions are large. Cannot go wrong with Straight Up!

[@billandlisa]

Agree on all levels! Great place!

[@edwinrodeo]

Everything looked great.. would love to try the breakfast Bill had , the Straight Up restaurant also Another great video. Thank you 😊

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much!

05:40 You're doing it right; cut down to the plate so the egg 'juice' and other flavorings get to the bed of rice. Yum.

[@sonicjerry]

My coworker picked Straight Up Cafe for our team lunch one day and I fell in love with their food. This place became my favorite hawaiian restaurant here in Vegas

[@billandlisa]

Very nice! Agreed, food is great there!

[@sonicjerry]

[@keithmasumoto9698]

Palm corned beef is a New Zealand product that has an outstanding quality and taste. A must try for those who are used to Libby's or Hereford.

[@billandlisa]

We'll have to give it a try!

[@nesianhoney94]

So amazing, if you don't make it yourself.

[@flohoward3965]

Aloha Bill, Lisa and Leslie: Thank you for taking us along for a Hawaiian-themed tour of Las Vegas. It was great seeing the offerings of Hawaiian items and foods in Las Vegas, which has a lot of people with Hawaii-connections. It looks like I will be flying from the the SF Bay Area to Vegas when I feel a need for some Hawaiian culture and food! It was nice seeing you enjoying some of the comforting, and delicacies, food of Hawaii. Looking forward to your next vlog and opinions! Best wishes and much 🧧! 🤙 to you and ohana!

I love authentic Hawaiian food and will check out the place next June ( so far away 😢) We have our local L&L Hawaiian food here and it’s delicious but it’s always nice to try something new. Thank you for another amazing video ❤

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome! We go to our local L&L too, love their chicken katsu.

[@soyeathmyers]

Aloha Bill and Lisa! Cool breakfast place with big selection. Lisa your hair looks adorable! And why has no one sponsored my fav foodie duo? Loco Moco galore! Look at all those Hawaiian snacks and fresh Hawaiian leis…😊 Wow cookies and cream bread…you both had impeccable timing with no crowds😮. I was picking things off the menu as the camera was focused on them. ❤Now the cooks know how to grill Kalbi…look at the glistening fat…Bill’s shirt matches my lime green swirly fountain pen. I’m with Lisa you can taste food made with love!!…My Grandpa’s cooking and my Mom’s cooking…thank you for sharing! What a place to go when you have island cravings…that poke looks so fresh…of course Lisa had to get me with the dessert!😅Take care everyone!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much, Arlene! Yes, so many great choices on the menu, you can't go wrong. Thanks for watching!

[@yvonneacosta2539]

This is awesome!! If I can't go to Hawaii I can still get a taste thanks to the 9th island!! Have known about the California and the Aloha Specialtues but these other hidden gems, Wow! Thank you for showing them to us. Any news on Zippy's opening?

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Yvonne! Yes, you can definitely get a taste of Hawaii in Vegas, both food and shopping! No opening date yet, but read they're already planning a second location!

[@celiadileone2841]

Holey moley Lisa! Yes, that feeling when you taste a yummy dessert❤❤

[@semaaminadra4157]

Great to discover new foods. ❤The shopping trip and straight up cafe was awesome. We don't have Hawaiian restaurants here in the UK. Thank you for expanding my universe 🎉🥰,xx

Thanks so much! And, you're very welcome. =)

[@beverlyherbert6952]

Another great vegas video!!!😊 my parents are from hawaii and spam,eggs and vienna sausage was a must!!!! 😊 all the hawaiian food looked good.

You're very welcome, Beverly! There are lots of hidden gems off-Strip for sure!

[@bassethound1]

When you retire here in Las Vegas Straight Up will be a regular ❤

[@grottorabbit]

I usually stay away from kalua pork (bland) and beef ribs (tough and chewy), but these both looked and sounded delicious. I will definitely be trying all these places on your recommendations! That giant burger patty on the Loco Moco, looked scrumptious too. I'm a burger patty for breakfast kinda guy! Another great video B & L!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much!!

[@TonyCash-k8r]

Great video.

[@Round2Dad]

Gotta have shoyu on the Loco Moco too.

[@darrylk808]

Bill, you need to put Tabasco on your loco moco. Delish!

[@msavp4481]

Oh my gosh alllll of the food looked so good!!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Sue!

[@jc2333]

The loco moco looks good. I don’t eat eggs . The Hawaii bbq looks good .

[@easystreetwithjen]

I'm surprised they don't have spam moco, too. That's my husband's favorite.

[@A_Closer_Look]

Great episode! Straight Up is now on our radar. Have you guys been to Island Sushi and Grill on Eastern? They have the best malasadas in the valley. Also, which International Market requires a membership to get in? The one near Tropicana has open admission but there are lower prices if you have a membership but it's not required

[@billandlisa]

Thank you! Haven't been to Island Sushi & Grill yet, thanks for the rec. Yes, that's what Lisa meant, better prices if you have an IM membership.

[@carolbrown6765]

Happy Wednesday!

[@sjohnson8509]

Lol I think I’m the only one that’s no way on those breakfasts. Too much but I love your blogs

[@ylana4444]

You should get the Molokai bread..it’s so ono heated up with real butter and jam! Ohhhh you just bought it! I commented before I saw you bought it. Good choice!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

I finally just tried straight up cafe! That kalbi was so tender and so good! The Kaluha pork was excellent too. The bbq chocken was ok, pretty salty. Potato salad was good too. It was a no sugar day so no cake this visit but ill be back. Ill put Konos Northshore Kalua pork over this one so you should definitely try it. They are in Summerlin.

[@ChrisandTaraCA]

Omg straight up cafe is on my list that place looks DECADENT!

[@billandlisa]

Straight Up is great!!

[@kathygarvey4733]

That 1st place at the California is great. PORTIONS ARE HUGE.. had no idea, could have easily split an order.

[@CC-gq7sx]

Would love a review of Max's Restaurant by Bill and Lisa, and any other Filipino style restaurants in Las Vegas.

I was going to ask "Where's the rice?" on Lisa's mixed plate.😂

Pretty great that there are so many Hawaiian options in Vegas now. Be sure to add 2 places I've mentioned before next time: Island Sushi and Poke Express on Craig. Also, the food in this vid looked so crazy good, my wife and I ordered Hawaiian for dinner🤙🏼

[@billandlisa]

Yes, we bookmarked both places, thanks. Can't go wrong with Hawaiian for dinner!

[@gloriawinbush1590]

Never, tasted any Hawaiian drinks, desserts nor dishes🥺. But, everything looks delicious 🤤🥰🥹 and I, truly would love to ❤️. I, don't think we have any places here in Michigan - that an bummer 🥺.

Icing on the burger!

[@sunnyscott4876]

Been there, done that. Had the Loco Moco but the portions were sooooo big that I couldn't even enjoy it.
