Noh'O Cafe

Noh?o? Cafe, Coarsegold: 2024 Dec 23 (4.5 of 5)We had table reservations at another eatery, but were early, so we decided to check into this café. The name was interesting, but we didn't know how to pronounce it. Our server said the name, Noh?o? translates to 'bear'. Of course, it makes sense after he mentioned it, as we're in 'bear' country and this casino is called Chukchansi. The Chukchansi are an indigenous people of California who have lived in the San Joaquin Valley and Sierra Nevada foothills for over 12,000 years. The name Hoh?o? suits the place.Service: Angel S was our server. We explained that we were there only for drinks and appetizer as we already made reservations elsewhere. He was very nice about it. Angel was friendly and personable. (5 of 5)Food: The appetizer we ordered hit a spot. The potato skins may look like it came out of a frozen section at Costco, but the kitchen doctored this dish. The texture and taste were decent for something so simple. (4 of 5)We told Angel we will be back to sample other items on the menu the next time we're in the area.

I can't count how many times I have visited this restaurant, most items are hit and miss but my steak and eggs have stayed consistent as well as their club sandwich. I tried their pancakes and well they were a bit on the dry side. The croissant, I gotten ham and cheese, expect a thick slice and not those thin slices of ham. I absolutely loved it. Customer service, there was only one time where it wasn't the best. I absolutely recommend their club sandwich and steak and eggs

Surprisingly this time everything was great!! Service, and food was excellent. My mother in law order the country fried steak and she really loved it. She wait it was the best one ever. She had tried this from another place and she mention is was too salty. The one from this place was just perfect. Crispy and juicy a the same time. My husband got the open face turkey sandwich. It came with veggies and mashed potato. He said that it was really tasty. Tender, and juicy. My daughter got the barbecue ribs. She was in heaven. They were so tender the fell out of the bone real quick. She mention they were so flavorful. She loves ribs. Whey came with fries. We will visit again when we comeback.

Every time I come to Chukchansi, I'm either grabbing a meal here or at the Asian restaurant. This last time, I came on a Wednesday night with my mom to play some games and enjoy her late birthday dinner. As it was a weeknight, there wasn't a wait to be seated. There was plenty of seating and the restaurant is well lit.I ordered the grilled salmon, while she ordered the steak dinner, and we ordered some wings to share. My mom's steak was cooked well and the mash potatoes it came with were delicious. However, my salmon was a lot smaller than expected (refer to my pics) and very dry. Usually, I get the steak and eggs, and really regretted not doing that again this time. Regardless, their wings are absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection every time! My mom and I always order them.The servers were attentive and helpful, which I appreciate. They do serve beer and wine here, but if you want a cocktail, you'll have to go to the central bar in the casino. Overall, I think the prices are just slightly jacked up, but you can get a discount by showing your Player's Reward Card. And even better, if you play enough, you can get a Food Voucher from the Complimentary Services booth by the Casino Cashier area to use on your bill. Just remember that it doesn't cover alcohol or gratuity, so don't forget to tip your servers!

The service was what earned a star. But the food was horrid. What happened? I usually order the prime rib, rare or medium rare but they said someone goofed and there was only medium well and well available. I figured a ribeye was a safe bet as sn alternative. I sent it back because it was cooked with absolutely no seasoning. When it came back the second time it was the same absolutely no flavor no salt no pepper. The vegetables? Also no seasoning it was like it was just steamed and thrown on the plate. They could've used lemon juice and salt or something. It was almost like they're catering to people on no salt diets. I should say no flavor diets. My boyfriend's side dish of mashed potatoes was potatoes mixed out of a box. I was not happy oaying $50 for a meal that we could not eat.

My mom and I showed up 45 minutes before closing. Okay, idk why this place even exists without doors, windows, and air filtration. The whole time, all you smell is cigarette smoke. The waiters were very nice, the place was super clean the food was good it's just the smell of smoke I couldn't get over it. The fries for me were on the salty side. The clam chowder was really good. The mashed potatoes were delicious. The country fried steak had a chicken fried flavor, which wasn't bad it was tasty. My mom was missing her biscuit, but maybe that's because we came in so late and maybe they ran out. The sweets are from the bakery on the other aide of the building.

For some of you who don't know, Noh' O Cafe used to be named Gold Fields Cafe, located in the Chuckchansi Gold Resort & Casino in Coarsegold, CA. For being a cafe in the casino, I can say they have good quality foods and reasonable prices for their dining guests. I've been to Black Bear Diner and eaten at Table Mountain; they don't hit the spot like over here at Noh' O Cafe in Chuckchansi Resort & Casino. Their Club sandwiches are amazing, along with their crispy, somewhat battered fries and their chicken quesadilla. Also, some of the servers I had were attentive, friendly, and some not so attentive. The only thing that doesn't make this a 5-star review is you can smell the heavy stench of the second-hand smoke coming in the dining area. From all that losing or winning, you kept me full and very satisfied. Thank you, Noh' O Cafe. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

Food was good and service was fairly fast. I think my favorite was the clam chowder you could get for $1.50 more. I ate the pot roast while my mom and boyfriend got the rib eye and my dad got the salmon. All were satisfied. My pot roast was swimming in gravy however and it was enough to bring home for another meal.

Service was terrible I had to wait longer because they gave away my food to another person. I'm also upset I ordered an expensive dinner and they forgot the condiments and soup, not satisfied at all.

We stopped for dinner here after YNP with my small-sized Service Dog because it's the only place that is open that has somewhat "real" food. I asked the host what food are available for dogs and she mentioned I can order unseasoned steak or hamburger patty - Perfect! My dog can eat, also. After half-hr of waiting for our food, our server came to asked me if it's okay that the hamburger patty will cost me $10....Wow! Of course I approved because I want my dog to eat as well but I should've just took a slice of the steak from the food that we ordered because the patty that I paid for $10 is burnt.
