Pho-Nominal Eats is one of seven dining options at Tachi Palace including the award-winning Pork Chop Hill Buffett, Coyote Grill, The Coffee Stop, RezDogs, Pizza Hut Express, and Red Tail Hawk Stop.

Tachi Palace General Manager Michael Olujic brought members of the Tribal Council together for an official ribbon cutting and said there are plans for many new improvements. “This is the first of many,” he said. “This was a collaborative effort of the whole team.”

A sizeable crowd, which included a dozen or so members of the Tachi “Hoops” program, were also on hand to help celebrate the restaurant’s opening. The Tachi students often perform at community events and celebrate the Tachi culture.
