| - We were staying at the California Hotel during the Life is Beautiful Festival and only utilized four Aloha coupons between the two of us. Thankfully, my brother's friend told us to visit the Snack Bar before heading out and use all your leftover coupons.
I told the cashier we wanted to use everything and she calculated the dollar value for us. We had $46.01! We scoped out the menu to pick out items we wanted and making sure we reached the amount. We selected a Bento w/ Spam, Chicken Katsu, and Teriyaki Beef ($7.49), Teriyaki Beef Plate ($6.99), Chicken Katsu ($6.79), Egg Roll & Wonton Combo ($5.79), 3 orders of Zippy's Chili w/ Rice ($4.79), and 2 Spam Musubis ($2.29). Note: they were out of Teriyaki Chicken that morning.
Notes: It appears their prices have gone up recently since their official menu online still reflects the previous prices. I would recommend calculating the dollar amounts of your Aloha Coupons since the cashier miscalculated ours. We were actually under the amount we had to use, which was great, but she didn't ask us if we wanted to use the remaining value on something else. I could've gotten a can of Hawaiian Sun juice (albeit very expensive for $1.99). Also, even if you're ordering To-Go, make sure they give you appropriate sauces! I couldn't believe they didn't put Katsu sauce in my container and they don't have to-go sauce containers in the small dining area.
The food is all right. It's nothing I'd ever stop by and want to eat, but it's still edible and it was FREE. The Zippy's chili is definitely good, but that's Zippy's chili. The wontons were surprisingly not terrible. Other than that, everything was meh. But, it's still a really cool option to use up the Aloha Coupons!
