The ice itself was fine, I definitely like it more than Matsumotos. Double the price though. Tastes less artificial. They poked holes so that the flavor would distribute really well.

Finally, got seated and a server eventually came by. The pepperoni rolls are delicious as always. We tried the paniolo burger (excellent) and the It's a Gouda burger (good, but I couldn't really taste the aioli or the Gouda). The mac salad on the side is fairly good although I prefer Zippy's because it's more flavorful. Kona's is a bit on the bland side. I got an itty bitty beer to go with my drink and didn't realize that the 5 ounce pour was basically the size of one of their little taster flight beers, but it's $4.25, where the 10 ounce is $6.25. Kind of wish my server had pointed out the 10 ounce is a better value, but they were extremely casual and seemed pretty distracted the whole time, so I don't think they thought to mention it. The 15% off for kama'aina makes the food a better deal. A nice place for a bite to eat and to try some interesting beers and seltzers on tap.

There is an old skool walk up ordering window that you order through. There is a dining area to the side of the window.

The kitchen is all screened in to prevent flies from coming into the kitchen so you know the food is safe. The food is your typical plate lunch burger fare.

Loco Moco Drive Inn in Hawaii Kai is a popular franchised restaurant that offers an extensive menu…read moreof local comfort food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Its low Yelp ratings don't help to justify its popularity with the local Hawaii Kai community, as many of the negative issues rested with its prior owner many years ago. Its current owner, Ru Jun T. has improved the business by making major renovations, offering creative menu specials, and listening to their customers. Its menu offerings include: * Breakfast (served all day). Big, pancake, steak & eggs, fish & eggs, omelets, sides. * Daily specials (weekdays). Beef stew, chili, sweet sour spareribs, pot roast, salt & pepper pork chop. * Plate lunch. Seafood; chicken; pork; beef; combo plates of mixed BBQ short ribs, chicken & teri steak or hamburger steak w/ stew, curry or chili. * House specialties. Chicken, fish, shrimp, steak, beef w/ broccoli, adobo, mushroom chicken, mapo tofu. * Saimin & bowls. Gau gee mein, beef chow fun, beef curry/stew bowl, chili bowl, Japanese fried noodles, shrimp char sui fried rice. * Sandwiches. Burgers, chicken, shrimp, beef, fish filet, hot dog. If you ask any Hawaii Kai resident why they love Loco Moco, they (including myself) will scream MOCHIKO CHICKEN! Yes, it is their signature dish, and they do it well, even if it's a mini plate or a party pan! Also, as owner Ru Jun is Chinese, some of the popular menu offerings are Chinese-inspired, e.g., beef chow fun, egg rolls, gau gee, ginger chicken, mushroom chicken, turkey jook, watercress tofu chicken soup, shrimp & char siu fried rice, etc. All items are made to order so that you receive your plates hot and fresh. Some of the items we've tried include: * Mochiko chicken. Always a winner, as their signature chicken dish is perfectly marinated with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar and fried with lots of crunchy panko! * BBQ chicken. Nicely marinated whole pieces of delicious chicken thighs as an entrée or can be used for sandwiches. Instead of rice and salad, we ask for only meat, and staff obliges (we already have sides at home). * Mushroom chicken. Tasty crunchy chicken pieces with lots of mushrooms and gravy! * Watercress pork tofu soup. When under the weather, this hot soup soothes you and you feel better already! Delicious Chinese-style soup! Customer service is efficient, quick, and friendly. Staff will remind you to enter your cell phone number in their Five Stars Rewards Program. There are a few tables if you want to dine in; however, most customers order on a take-out basis. No ambiance, as customers wait for their orders. There is a Teapresso Bar located in the Loco Moco shared space if you desire boba teas. Hours of operation are daily 8:00a to 8:45p. Located next to Bank of HI and Petco, theree parking in the Koko Marina Shopping Center that is shared with other vendors in the complex. Loco Moco offers affordable prices, generous portions, and authentic flavors for locals and tourists that want you to return for more. And their signature mochiko chicken that is so tasty, knowing that there always will be more! Continued success to the Ru Jun Family in offering great food in HI Kai! Support local!

I couldn't finish the food due to the large portion sizes but it's the perfect size for two people. As for the adobo omelette, it comes with fried rice. The fried rice taste very familiar like my grandmother's cooking the very distinct white pepper taste. The service is friendly and the food came out fast. Ambience wise the premises are decorated heavily, but it does provide a quick one stop shop for food.. especially if you're going to be hiking or walking a trail after. Highly recommend stopping by just to fill out loco moco craving.
