| - You gotta be sometun homesick local boy foh da kine heya brah! Da kine no ono, no broke da mouth, but cheap brah gotta coupon!
This little Hawaiian style food spot is like Zippy's in Aiea with 5% of the menu, embedded in the California Casino in Old Town Las Vegas. The hotel/casino caters to Hawaiians, with special deals with Hawaiian Airlines, coupons for food, etc, along with the Main Street Station across the street. This part of Vegas is like Reno, small, walkable, a little carnival/state fair like, with the covered and lighted Fremont Experience nearby being the main attraction, and very affordable compared to the huge properties on the south end of Las Vegas Blvd. Cheap table games here, too, like $5 craps and blackjack, even on weekends, with usually better odds.
You line up here just off the casino floor and order over the counter cafeteria style, pay at the end, and get staples dishes like rice plates, bento, saimin, and other kamaina favorites.
I got the special bento, which was chicken katsu, beef teriyaki, and of course Spam! ($6.95 without coupon!) Two scoops of rice island style, and you have the ubiquitous Hawaiian plate lunch.
Hay sistah, watta happen da kine macaroni?
What's a Hawaiian plate lunch without a scoop of macaroni salad? I was disappointed!
90%, no wait a minute, maybe 99% of the people in line were Hawaiian. All the cooks were Asian and all the register girls were Filipina, like Cecilia.
Although a quick cafeteria style place, your order here is still a little Island time, brah! So wait before your wave comes, bruddah!
