"The story of Aloha Specialties dates back to 1975, when casino magnate Sam Boyd opened the California Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. After moving from Honolulu to Las Vegas, Boyd set about making the Cal a home away from home for Hawai’i natives. Today, Aloha Specialties at the Cal helps secure Las Vegas’s affectionate status as the Ninth Island, a nickname designated by the city’s significant number of Hawaiian visitors and residents. The restaurant reliably makes juicy shredded Kahlúa pork, steaming saimin bowls, pleasantly salty Spam musubi, teriyaki plates, creamy scoops of mac salad, and a mountain of gravy-laden loco moco for Hawaiian natives located across the lower 48." - Janna Karel
"The story of Aloha Specialties dates back to 1975, and is foundational to earning Las Vegas the nickname of the Ninth Island. Located on the second floor of the Cal, it features Hawai’ian dishes like Ahi poke, Spam musubi, and a Korean chicken plate. Teriyaki and combination plates, stews, rice bowls, and noodle dishes are also available to dip into." - Janna Karel
"This little restaurant inside the California favors the slogan “Aloha spoken here.” Diners can order chicken adobo, kalua pig, and cabbage plus teriyaki and noodles. The saimin, plate lunches, and rice bowls are always popular and the wicker chairs here are always packed." - Krista Diamond
"A casual island-themed eatery inside the resort that will operate weekdays 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and weekends 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., subject to the property's safety measures including staff screenings and increased cleaning." - Susan Stapleton
"Located inside the California Hotel, a favorite among travelers from Hawai‘i, this sleek yet casual spot offers plate lunch options including beef broccoli, hamburger steak, and garlic chicken. Also on the menu, chicken or beef bowls with vegetables, noodles, Spam sandwiches, and musubi." - Krista Diamond
