Stayed at the Cal for 4 days, and we probably had breakfast/ lunch here everyday! My fiancé and his family grew up coming to the cal whenever they visited Vegas. It was my first time, and it's awesome! I am stuffed walking out no matter what meal I choose. I tried the loco moco corn beef & fried ahi (daily special), saimin, and two eggs breakfast! Their rice portion is HUGE, so I'll definitely opt for less rice option. The loco moco has a delicious gravy with potato, probably my favorite meal. read more

Came to aloha restaurant, but ironically absolutely no aloha spirit So far we started off and the lady who takes her order totally messed up and it's kind of messing with the whole breakfast. At the moment she gave us the wrong food and insisted that that's what we ordered. Food is mediocre We told her we did not order chicken and she got super mad like we did something wrong Lady was so rude lol read more

Always a treat to dine at Aloha Specialties! Hardest part is choosing from their vast menu. My party and I ended up with the delicious mix plate.(teriyaki steak, teri chicken, mahi-mahi, mac salad, rice; chicken, broccoli, rice; and one of my favorite fish item- grilled Saba, mixed vegetables, rice. Portions are huge folks! We always ask for half rice, but they tend to pile it on lol Plenty of indoor seating, but we opted for the more spacious round tables with umbrellas just outside giving more feels of Hawaii spirit. Aloha! read more

It's always a plus when the beef patty is seasoned and the grave doesn't taste like they just did an instant gravy from a bag. I can say that what I ordered was made with aloha! Very friendly staff and I love the very island theme of the restaurant. Perfect portion and the Mac salad complimented the loco moco very well. read more

My go to authentic Hawaiian Food restaurant. Easy ordering at the counter and the servers are friendly and fast. The Garlic Chicken and gravy is always amazing, subtle garlic flavor and moist chicken thigh meat, 4 stars because the gravy was on the cooler side. The Saimin Noodles was perfectly prepared with a good portion of pork. For me a little Tabasco gives it the perfect kick. Our friends orders the broccoli beef and there was generous portion of beef and flavorful sauce. The Mac Salad with a little pepper was perfect. I will always come back to Aloha Specialties! read more

Don't believe it! Aloha Specialties is NOT CLOSED!!! My hubby and I enjoyed our traditional Hawaiian breakfast there this morning--where we eat whenever we visit LV. Yes, there was a brief closure, wrongs were righted and the rating is an A! Service, as always, was pleasant and efficient. The menu is extensive and the ambiance is casual and relaxed--Hawaiian style in LV. My go to order is their delicious kalua pork and cabbage while hubby loves his spam and eggs over rice with a side of their out of this world macaroni salad. On the second floor of the California Club, a short block off Fremont Street, make it a stop on your next visit. read more

When in Vegas you gotta try the local Hawaiian spots, as someone who has been to Hawaii several times and always crave Hawaiian plate food, this place did not disappoint. I was sick with the flu in Vegas and all I wanted was something solid for breakfast, my goto is always loco moco and it was amazing. Service was great too! And it really did feel like I was in Hawaii with the vibes and energy in there! 10/10 read more

Having a plate lunch at Aloha Specialties is a must! Always crowded and you really do feel like you are at home in Hawaik because there are so many Hawai'i visitors and Vegas transplants eating there! Food is onolicious - you really do feel like you are at home :) I always get the hamburger steak and can never finish all the rice.

Update on Aloha Specialties haven't dine here for a while. I think before COVID19 sometimes . Well my sister and brother in law was craving for ramen so we decided to go back to Aloha specialties. Both of them had wun tun min and I had their hamburger steak . The hamburger steak only had 1 beef patty and it was lacking salt and it was on the hard side . My sister them said the wun tun min was good . Support local read more

Located on the mezzanine level of the California Hotel. Ttis humble Saimin shop has been serving Hawaiian flavors since the opening of the hotel.

Where you were close the the entrances of Lapperts, Vegas 808,and Ethel M's..Candies. Service was a bit spotty today. Enjoy read more

Always a Friendly Atmosphere! This restaurant, located on the Mezzanine level of the California Hotel, has been around for many years and continues to be a go-to spot for local Hawaiian food. It's a casual, order-at-the-counter style place, and the staff brings your food to the table if you're dining in. There's plenty of seating inside, along with a few tables outside the restaurant. On this visit, we ordered: 1) Kalua Pig & Cabbage - Flavorful and satisfying with no need for extra soy sauce. The cabbage was cooked perfectly--not soggy, with just the right amount of crunch. 2) Mixed Plate - This came with Teriyaki Beef Steak, Teriyaki Chicken, and Mahi Mahi with tartar sauce. The meat was tender and everything was delicious. The Mahi was especially tasty, though we wished the portion was a bit larger. The employees are always so friendly and welcoming, and the food comes out pretty quickly. It can get busy at times, but the quality never disappoints. We love coming here! read more

So the place is called Aloha Specialty, but no aloha tonight. Our last meal in Vegas. Had been looking forward all trip. It's Sunday. They close at 7pm. Got there at 620pm. The woman in front of me in line ordered and sat at a table waiting. When I get to order she declares that they are now only doing take out orders, has to be to go. There were 15+ parties eating inside. If allowed to, we would have gotten our food and be pau well before 7pm. Oh well. No aloha. read more

I've been coming to Aloha Express at the California Hotel for years and it's always solid. The Aloha Specialty is my go-to and it never disappoints. The flavors are consistent and it's just one of those comfort meals I look forward to every trip. Saimin is very yummy. Get the teriyaki combo too. Staffs are always friendly, which makes the experience even better. And don't skip the kimchi -- it's a must and goes perfectly with the meal. read more

On our last day in vegas we wanted to wat some kind of local food like back home in hawaii. So my brother said we go to aloha specialties to eat. Located on the mezzanine area in the California hotel 2nd floor. I ordered with my husband wun ton mein my brother had hamburger steak. Was ok. The broth had a good taste but the won ton was slight gummy like the outer wrapper part but its edible. My brothers hamburger steak was only 1 patty. He said also it was ok. He did order spam musubis to go for the plane ride home. If you like local homestyle food go upstairs to the aloha specialties restaurant. read more

My husband and I met some cousins from Maui in Las Vegas. They were staying at the California, and we ended up eating lunch at Aloha Café three days in a row. It's on the second floor of the hotel. We've been going to Las Vegas for 30 years and have eaten here many times. On this particular trip, we noticed that this restaurant wasn't crowded like it used to be. We never had to wait long to place our order. These are the menu items that we ordered: Aloha's Specials - Aloha Bento, Chicken Teri Bowl with Mushrooms & Onions, Spam Musubi, Grilled Saba, and Ahi Poke. Everything we ordered was so good! If you are in Las Vegas and feel like some authentic Hawaiian food, check out this restaurant! read more

The place to go if you're craving comfort food. Rice, eggs and a protein. That's what I call breakfast! There are other options on the menu, but we tend to order rice and eggs. If you're able to arrive before 12pm, then the line should be short and tables are plenty. Otherwise, you're there with the lunch crowd. Enjoy! read more

Met up with some friends here who wanted some hangover comfort food. It's a casual spot inside The California Hotel. Place was clean and it smelled good, but I noticed they seem to run out of almost everything. I'm not sure if they didn't forecast properly or take appropriate inventory, but people would walk in and see the menu with items crossed out, look sad and leave. I guess you have to come early. read more

Wait staff was excellent and efficient. Food: What a disappointment! This used to be our go to place. After today, we will not be back. Four for dinner, 4 ordered and 3 were not available, make another choice. Won ton Mien out, Ochazuke out and trope stew out. I got loco moco. Rice hard and dried out. Gravy was so thick it looked like just a blob of very dark jelly. Teri chicken overcooked and dry with ultra thick Teri sauce. Pork tofu , no taste rice so dry had to use sauce to eat. Too bad, this used to be so good. read more

I've been coming here since I was in HS. My hands down go to of all time is a chicken bowl that is skinless and teri sauce on the side. I'll usually take a water or Hawaiian Sun if I can spare the carbs. I never finish the serving of rice. So it makes for a meal later. I'll spice it up and get onions and shrooms too. Sometimes I'll get kimchi or tofu on the side. It's sooo good, yall! My babies will take theirs with skin on and a side of musubi. The service is quick and efficient. Fast and casual. The ambiance gives homey and kind. We usually like to sit on the more patio area to people watch and I like to hear the casino in the background. I wish they were open later but I'll deff take what I can get. Love it here! read more

I'm really disappointed with how far Aloha Specialty has slipped. The quality has dropped drastically. The mix plate was a letdown across the board -- the chicken was dry (even though it was dark meat), the beef was tough and gristly, and the mahi-mahi was just barely passable. Even the rice was off: clumpy, overly wet, and unappetizing. My husband's local plate wasn't any better. The beef was extremely dry with a jerky-like texture, and the chicken was just as bad. The spam musubi was another miss: a very thin slice of spam buried under way too much rice. Sad to see a place that used to be solid go downhill like this. read more

I would say four and one half stars. Read on: The California, aka "The Cal" is very popular with people from Hawaii, so it's a safe bet this place knows what it's doing when it comes to food served on the islands. If you enjoy this kind of food or just want to try some, this is the place to go downtown. The drill is you order and pay at the counter, they give you a number, and they bring your food to your table when it's ready. It's casual within reason. I wouldn't show up looking like a slob first impressions being what they are. I chose the Kalua Pork and cabbage served with mac salad and rice . I know this dish well, and it was spot on. It's a lot of food, so bring your appetite if you order this. This place reputedly gets very crowded at peak times. I arrived at 1:30 p.m. for a late lunch without any wait. The prices are reasonable for Vegas. Alcohol is not served if that matters to you. Cheers! read more

As a tradition within our family, this place is always our last meal before we hit the freeway back to LA. Located on the 2nd floor of the California hotel and casino. This place is comfort food paradise with the menu full of Asian, Pacific islander goodies. Our brunch today consist of soup noodles, teriyaki chicken, loco moco and macaroni salad. Happy to say everything tasted great, portions were slightly smaller than I remembered, but I think that's everywhere we go nowadays. Staffers were all nice, friendly and helpful. We'll be back, when we come back out to vegas again. read more

This spot reminds of Hawai'i diners like Zippy's and Liliha Bakery. I was a little bummed to learn that they don't take the meal coupons that you can use when staying at the California Hotel. But, overall was still pleased with my experience. My partner and I visited at about 9am and it wasn't crowded at all. The options/menu are simple and easy to choose from. I enjoy savory dishes even for breakfast so I went with the chopped steak while my partner got her usual eggs and vienna sausage. It definitely feels like back home. The plates were huge especially with rice and can easily be shared between two people, they have a sign at the register to request half rice. My chopped steak was delicious especially with the Mac salad and tobasco. My partner also enjoyed her breakfast. Looking forward to eating here again for a quick bite next time we're in Vegas. read more

Eater Vegas 38 Essentials. HAHAHA!!! Are you kidding?!? First, story time. Shhhh, I'm born and raised in Hawaii and I hate the Cal. Waiting for friends, I take a seat with other Hawaii locals at a Pai Gow table. Requisite "where you from?" Hilo, Kihei, Mililani. The table is losing but I notice my hands are better than most so "can I bank?" Instantly, "you live Honolulu or wat, Kahala?" "You staying Aria?". Whatever. That said, prior to this recent forced visit, the last I ate here was 25 years ago. Look, Eater, I'd agree but we'd both be wrong. Brah, Spam musubi supposed to only get eight slices Spam from one can. Not 16. Thinnest spam EVER! Brah, two scoops rice and one mac salad. Not dakine gelato scoop. Tight on the cheap stuff. Brah, teri chicken supposed to be more than one thinly sliced chicken thigh. Enough!!! Hawaii is expensive but when it comes to food, we are generous. Tight portions of commercially packaged food is not what local 808 flavors are about. Market all you like, pretending you're catering to Hawaii visitors? A joke. read more

Been coming here for 30 years, can't do it anymore. Service is down, prices are way up. Spicy Korean Chicken was my go to, not for $23. I know how much rice and chicken thighs cost. $4 for a fountain soda? A real shame, their price gouging is short sighted. How to ruin a great business 101. read more

Service friendly, efficient, and fast for cook to order meals. Flavors were on point and very onolicious! It wasn't very busy considering it was EDC weekend but fairly steady while we were there.

Highly recommend to get your grinds here when in Downtown LV and/or staying at The California. read more

They give quite a bit of rice to the point where they have signs about half-rice portions, but all I can remember is the really slow service. The menu reminds me too much of Hawaii for me to really seek this out while out-of-state, but if you must have your local food, at least you get a ton of white rice which I can't complain about. read more

We went here as I saw this on the way to the walkway to Main Street Casino. You can not use your Boyd Rewards here unfortunately, but I wanted to eat here anyways. Come here hungry as the portion sizes are huge. I ordered the Korean chicken which comes with mac salad. I opted for less rice. I wish they gave us more mac salad though. The Korean which was good and moist. There was nothing dry. I got three big pieces of chicken and was stuff. My wife got a bento like tray where you can try everything. The food was bad really quickly. This place does get really busy read more
