I love, love, love how the California casino/hotel caters to the Hawaiian community.  And Local and transplant Hawaiians reciprocate by visiting this hotel almost exclusively it seems!  Therefore, we always make it a point to visit this place when we are downtown. We stumbled upon this place at the mezzanine level of the casino and saw a long line forming out the door that just kept growing.  Of course  we had to try out the food here even though we ate not 2 hours  ago.\n\nI had the special: Ochoa zuke#1:  tea , rice, Teri chicken, spam, fishcake, Saba (mackerel) and assorted pickles... $9.99\n-nicely done and presented in bento box.  EVERYTHING was YUMMMMMMM...\n\n-ahi poke: fresh ahi tuna marinated in soy sauce, sugar, limu, green onions etc.. Generous portions and very fresh.\n\n-coffee was 50 cents and my hubby was shocked.\n\nThere really isn't an 'ambiance' here, it's basically a \"mom and pop\" Hawaiian style cafe in a casino which for the California hotel, is quite suitable! \n\nCash only.
