[EX Q]: Went here the other day on a suggestion from a friend who's in Vegas a lot on business... Am I sure glad that I listened to him. I was told it was a little bit of a drive from the strip but I assure you, True Island BBQ is worth it. Guamanian food. Loved it. Definitely felt at home at this place... Let me tell you why.

One of the things I first noticed and liked while deciding what to order, was seeing some classic t-shirts in picture boxes lining the wall. Classic to me cause I had 3 of the shirts that were up there. Anyone familiar with Undefeated, Upper Playground and Undercrown will know what I'm talking about. Those are just the shirts that I had... Other nice ones were up there too. Nice touch. I immediately liked the vibe of this place.

Second and the most important was the food... My friend said to try the red rice with our entrees and I did. DELISH... I had the bbq chicken plate with red rice and small salad. Immediately tried the red rice and I knew we made the right call to come here. The chicken was very tasty. Grilled just right. Accompanying salad had a very good sweet dressing on it.. I usually take pics of my food (especially my first time there) but was so hungry that I forgot. And I regret it... Two of my friends had the fiesta plate and another had the salmon. With red rice, of course. Also ordered appetizers... The lumpia was so good. Comes with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Slightly larger than your average. Delish... And my friend ordered the gyoza. And just as I finished telling her that all the fried gyoza i order in LA is never cooked through like the ones I grew up eating in SF, we get served up gyoza JUST the way I like it. At last!!! Smiles...

Third reason is Darrell. Very personable character... He schooled us in what to order and was on point with all of his suggestions. He suggested we pour some of the ginger soy dressing on the red rice to kick it up and he was right. He said to try it on the grilled meats and we did. Winner. Thank you.

Fourth reason. Sade was playing on the radio while I was waiting for my food. To me... that is ALWAYS a sign of legit establishment. HAHA. I will be coming back here the next time I'm back in Vegas. Guaranteed.

Try True Island BBQ... Your taste buds will thank you. Then you will thank me. Tell Darrell I sent you... And order the red rice. Enjoy.

[EX Q]: After much stylist turmoil and almost a year without a haircut because I was in denial I came to yelp and found Altered Ego. It's close to my house and had great reviews. I booked an appointment with Marla and went in for a much shorter cut. She took her time and made sure it was what I wanted. Several hours after my appointment I realized that I just didn't like it. For the first time in my life I called and asked if I could come back to have some adjustments made. Marla made time the same day and gave the cut more "wow" and an edgier flare. She followed up with me TWICE to make sure I still liked it. The final product was fabulous and I have received many compliments on my new "do". I will be returning for furture cuts!

[EX Q]: just the same as any other? haha..
is kept clean.. service is usully friendly when we come and sit down to eat..

it's never a long wait for our food.. and the waiters are on top of refilling drinks and asking If everything's alright w/out being overbearing.. they also know their menus which is great because i hate when you ask what something on the menu consists of and getting an "idk.. i can ask." answer.

I only give them 3 stars because of an incident when I ordered curbside. I made an online order for pickup and sent my son inside to grab the food [being I was not presentable to the public: hence the ordering curbside] but when we get there... no ones in the curbside pick up room.

so he sits in that little room waiting for someone to come [which mind u is visible by the bartenders at the bar] 5 min. pass and still no one comes. so I honk and tell him to go to the front and to tell them that he's there to pick up an order.. so he comes and out and tells me that they said they were sending someone back.

waiting.. waiting....... waiting.

so I finally get out [pajamas and uncombed hair and all..] and have to tell the bartender that my son had been sitting in the -to go curbside pick up- room for 15 minutes waiting for someone to come back and give us our order.. he was very apologetic and called the lady who was supposed to be there.. to which I grabbed my food and let her know why her ass wasn't getting a tip... if you know you have ppl picking up food........ have someone there. food doesn't stay warm forever.

so anyway: my faves: the quesadilla explosion salad.. and the trio thing they offer. it's the best way to get a little bit of everything when you don't really know what you want.

ps: the mini deserts in the cups.. the red velvet stuff.. yum.
