3.5 stars rounded to 4 stars! Aloha Specialties Restaurant is the popular one-stop shop for local Hawaiian food when you visit Las Vegas. The restaurant is located in the California Hotel and Casino. You need to time your visit here (i.e., go early) because this place gets crowded! I always wondered why Hawaii people would rush to a Hawaii restaurant in Las Vegas. Don't we get enough local food at home? It's all about comfort food.\n\nPrices are reasonable, but the food preparation can take a while. Be sure you have some good topics to talk with your table mates about. Employees here work super hard to ensure you have a good experience.\n\nLarge Saimin Noodles: This dish was just like eating local noodles at home in Hawaii. The portions are quite large. The saimin tasted like S&S saimin. Although the noodles were a bit too soft and smooshy for me, it reminded me of my childhood. Nice. Grade: B\n\n <url> Curry & Rice: This dish wasn't my favorite. Period. The flavor was right on, but the texture was a bit starchy and thick. Not my style of local chicken curry. Grade: C+\n\nPork Tofu: This dish was like home cooking! Slices of pork cooked with onions, tofu, and served in a mirin, shoyu, and hondashi sauce! WINNER! Grade: A!\n\n <url> Korean BBQ Chicken: The highlight of my dish was the grilled Korean BBQ chicken. Three thighs were served with a whole lot of rice and a side of macaroni salad. Well prepared, well cooked, delicious flavor. Grade: A-\n\n <url> Grade: B\nService Grade: B\nWorth The Money Grade: B\nOverall Impression Grade: B
