    Steak sandwich
    Joshua S.

    Came here last Wednesday for my mom's birthday!! Before we hit the casino to hit the slots we had To feed my grandmother and mom! My grandmother and I order the steak sandwich which was amazing! The meat was fresh, juicy and tender. The fries were well cooked and seasoned just right My mother got a salad and loved it. I usually am good with names but I didn't get the waiters name. She was very sweet helpful and very fast Thank you we will return

    Went with a few friends.. lined up and it took a good 15-20 minutes .... Got seated... it basically looked like a diner... ambiance was very casual.... :) Food on the menu, is basically diner food too. .......... Quality isn't extraordinary... is basically plain.... No wow factor.... The order taking took awhile. Also, a mix up happened... brought the wrong items and had to change it up and took a few more minutes... The only good thing was that refilling of drinks were on point. Bill came up to $100 ..... + tax + tip...... The club was filling ... choice of type of bread and side. Went with sourdough bread............ ....Sweet potato fries were good a little limp but okay. Would probably go back only if hungry and had no other good choice. ......

    Medium well classic pala burger with American cheese

    Okay, I seriously debated even writing this because I kinda want to keep this spot to myself. But wow -- this was hands down the best homemade menudo I've ever had. You can taste the love and time that went into it. The flavor, the texture, everything was just perfect. I came in not expecting much and left totally shocked at how good it was. If you love menudo, you have to try it... just don't tell too many people, I'm trying to keep it under the radar!

    Corned beef hash

    Honestly not that bad but the corned beef hash was really mushy and my partners had an actual crisp from being cooked longer. Mine was just a pile of mesh. They also serve the eggs right on top which I didn't find appealing what so ever. I love corned beef hash if it's got a proper crust on it. Just leave it in the pan? This way just felt straight out of the can microwaved bc of the no crisp/well done cooking. If you just got a great crisp on it, it would be great

    BLTA with half fries half rings
    Spencer S.

    Located inside Pala Casino. Open later than any other food place in there. Full service, sitdown restaurant. Fast and friendly service. Casual atmosphere. They offer both breakfast and lunch/dinner items throughout their open hours. I got a BLTA and they did half fries half rings for me. Not sure if they charged extra for it, as my friend paid and also we were all very inebriated after a long night of gambling. Great way to end the night, though!

    Chilaquiles

    Went during a weekday so it wasn't very busy. The staff were kind and attentive. I ordered the chilaquiles which were nicely plated and pretty good. The staff were accommodating when I requested a few ingredients to be removed.

    Chicken and Waffles
    Archie S.

    This is located inside the Pala Resort and Casino. While not really expecting much to eat inside the casino late at night after an event, this was the one place open past midnight. It's a nice looking cafe with a good amount of items on their menu and they serve breakfast items at night as well. Oddly that sounded really good for a late night bite and the Chicken & Waffles were just standing out more than anything. I decided to get that and surely it was very well portioned and visually looked great with 3 pieces of fried chicken and a large waffle and butter. The chicken were tasty and really crisp as it should be. The maple syrup they used didn't taste like maple and it was maybe just the brand they use but it was not good at all. The waffle could have been crispier as it was on the doughy side but again at that time at night when you're hungry anything sounds good. The service was nice as well as everyone was very friendly.

    幸福就像一根根粽繩,緊緊的綁住了你,快樂就像一片片粽葉,團團的圍住了你,希望你的生活就像陣陣飄來的粽子香,永遠幸福甜蜜,端午節到了,吃粽子了沒呀? Pala 之行,晚上這一頓才是重頭戲,他們特地從大陸請來的廚師,手藝真的不是一般,真的可以說,是一整年來,我吃過排名前三名的中餐,很多道菜都令人驚艷,雖然大家知道我的標準不是很高,但是灰熊灰熊好吃的情況,我還是吃的出來的,我也在這天天外食的吃了一年了,所以快一個月前吃的這餐,大部分的菜色還在我心中,令我念念不忘, 剛好是我們的粽子節,中國三大節日之一,跟各位吃貨分享~端午節快樂呀!

    Great employees and Great Fried Seafood Udon Noodle!!!…read more My family and I shared the Xiao Long Bao, the Fried Seafood Udon Noodle, the BBQ Pork Noodle Soup, and the Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce. The Xiao Long Bao comes with 5 of them, and they come with soy sauce and picked ginger. They look amazing, but most of the soup fell out because the dough stuck to the parchment paper. The meat inside the Xiao Long Bao is decent, and it pairs great with the pickled ginger and soy sauce. The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was a favorite out of all the dishes we ordered. It doesn't taste greasy, and everything in the dish is paired well together. The texture of the noodles were perfect, and there's no complaints about the dish. The BBQ Pork Noodle Soup tasted a bit greasy, but the noodles seem to pair well with the BBQ Pork Wontons. The wontons didn't have a strong BBQ Pork flavor, but it did taste different enough from regular pork wontons where you could consider it BBQ Pork. The Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce looked great, but it also tasted greasy. The components in the fried rice were great, but there was just this greasy taste all over. The service was amazing. All the employees were so kind, helpful, and all smiles. They're all very quick, and they're all great! There's plenty of seating inside of the restaurant, and there's seating outside the restaurant. The line for ordering at the restaurant can become long very quickly, but luckily the employees are fast with taking orders and placing orders. The restaurant is unfortunately in a "Smoking Allowed" zone of the casino so it can get a bit nauseating to eat outside the restaurant. I would come here again! The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was great, and I'd get it again!

    Service was fast, the food was delicious. Ate here twice in one stay. Will definitely go back!read more

    Pauma Bay Cafe - Wagyu burger with garlic fries

    Pauma Bay Cafe

    I am updating my review based off my recent experience visiting Pauma Bay Cafe…read more We visited Pauma Casino Saturday, March 21st and decided to have some dinner. It was about 6:30pm, and there was no line. The two hosts greeted us and quickly sat us at a booth. There were maybe 4 parties sat, and it was relatively quiet which was a nice change from the casino floor. I noticed they updated there menu, and it is now two pages within a nice birch type wood holder. Definitely nicer than previous menus I've seen here before. We were quickly greeted by our server and we decided on spaghetti and meatballs & the Wagyu burger with garlic fries. We didnt wait too long before our food arrived, and boy were we excited after seeing the plates. Right off the bat, the dishes looked picture perfect. A dish that would be handed to you at a fine restaurant (but with affordable prices haha). After taking my first bite, I was very happy! The sauce had SUCH a good flavor and wasn't watery. I have ordered spaghetti and meatballs other places, that were lacking in flavor...and this was far from that! The two slices of crusty garlic bread weren't soggy at all. The meatballs! Oh the meatballs. The were so flavorful and tender. My fork just slid into each one as I cut into them... just like butter. I couldn't believe it and asked our server how they are so good!? The server let us know their sauce and meatballs were homemade, and I made sure to tell her they were outstanding! The wagyu burger was exactly how you would expect it to be. Perfectly cooked burger with great taste as a whole! The garlic fries were SUPERB. I just couldn't believe these came from a little casino Cafe. Hats off to the new menu and the chefs, because we both left full and happy! Like I said before, if you're here or nearby, definitely give this spot a try. Its honestly such a great spot!

    Friendly service, good food, clean environment. Limited menu but good daily specials, seafood…read morebuffet on Friday evenings for $45. Worth a try! Enjoy!
