Bahooka, Rosemead, CA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

There's nothing obviously special about it, but I really like it. I think it's the place that best brings me back to what it was like to walk into a fancy restaurant when I was a little kid (of course, when I was a little kid, Sea Galley was the Ultimate Nice Restaurant to me). I have a feeling I'll be going there pretty frequently once I'm settled in Pasadena. Spike, I spotted that Witco when I was there, too, tucked into a corner up above a booth. That's one really cool thing about Bahooka -- you can't take in all the details all in one visit. The best tiki bar is the one that's within stumbling distance of your bed The Humuhumu Room [ Edited by: Humuhumu on 2003-10-15 23:22 ]
