    Loco Moco one of our favorite plate lunch restaurants. They make one of the best Teriyaki Pork on Oahu. They are running a "Special " in the Mid Week Newspaper. Buy a Regular plate lunch and get a Free plate lunch (Choices are Chicken Katsu, Teriyaki Chicken, Mochiko Chicken, or Garlic Chicken for the free plate). Great deal! They were very busy with some large catering orders but did a great job taking care of their walk in customers. Highly recommended

    Current specials as of 2.3.26 & look the pan prices!

    $30 small pans can't beat that price nowdays! This week I got chicken katsu to take to a potluck. It was overcooked, tasteless & hard to cut (even they couldn't slice it good). Super crunchy and buggah didn't wanna budge while my teeth tried to rip it. I've also gotten the mochiko chicken pans which usually have a good mix of ono and lil overcooked. When ordering the garlic chicken pans they don't give enough sauce to coat the chicken so it's not even like eating garlic chicken. Its really ono on the pieces that actually have sauce on it tho I don't know why they do that, anyone cooking & prepping can obviously see if there's sauce on a dish that's supposed to have it. But the front staff is always so nice & like i said $30 small pans can't beat when you in a rush or watching your funds. So I'll add one more star for service & price, but won't buy the katsu again. It's also always clean, has some diners inside & picking up b orders & easy to locate in Kapolei shopping center somewhere between Subway & Game Stop.

    Mini Chicken Katsukatsu
    Edith S.

    Props to Loco Moco for thriving all these years. When Kapolei had practically nothing 30-years ago, this was the go to place. This location had been our family caterer for the fist 5-years, 1995-2000 and beyond. I was craving a chicken katsu plate earlier in the day and since I needed to do some grocery shopping, so I decided to come here. Staff is very friendly. Price is good. Not too long after, my mini plate arrived. States off with the Mac salad and it was tasty, while the chicken katsu satisfied the craving. It's a tiny location with a few 4-seater tables available. Plenty of people walking in to take out while a few of us stayed to dine in. While waiting for dinner, I saw one of the staff members wrapping up a small platter for take out and it reminded me of when we would order our family take out here. Brought back fond memories. I loved the lemon chicken here. Next potluck, I'll pickup from here.

    Bbq mixed BBQ Mix Plate

    I ordered for delivery and that is always a lil nerve wracking cause u never know what ur going to get. I was very pleasantly surprised when my food got here. I ordered the chicken katsu to share with my mom and my dad got the bbq mixed plate. When I opened the container I was like woah!! Nice portions!!! I took a bite of my katsu (side order of curry) and I was like dang!! One of the best chicken katsu I've had! Also the curry was incredible! Usually there is a strong "bite"to the curry and this was so mild and creamy with a hint of sweetness on the back end. Thank you loco moco!! U have outdone yourself!! Chefs kiss!!

    Never thought you could make French fries dry! But my over cooked fries! Never ordering this again!

    Wow! Great price on party pans! Will order again! Ordered 2 days ago & picked it up & was so amazed that it tasted so good!

    Loco Moco- All white rice, 2 over easy eggs, 2 beef patties covered in gravy. Beef patties were alittle tough.

    My first time back in 2 years since since they opened under new management and they've improved ALOT. The Buy-one-get-one plate lunch coupon from the midweek paper is what got me in and I'm glad I used/turned it in. The plate lunches was in large portions (even the mini bbq chicken was huge), tasted pretty good (just the beef patties in the Loco Moco were alittle tough) and the prices were fair. The restaurant was clean. Plenty of free parking. Easy phone ordering and take out. Cashier was nice. Although I miss the kapolei original I'm glad I gave the new Loco Moco a second chance.

    Kalbi and chicken katsu combo
    Ana C.

    I had to work late tonight and didn't want to go home and cook so I decided to get something on the way home. I stopped in at Loco Moro and got a kalbi and chicken Katsu combo with mac salad and white rice. The chicken katsu was nice and crispy. The kalbi was seasoned well. However the mac salad was plain and had no seasoning whatsoever. Other than that I was satisfied with the meal.

    Came here for quick Hawaiian bite yo eat. Place is cute and clean. I ordered grilled garlic ahi, my sister got the chicken katsu curry and we shared the shrimp salad. Food took a bit to come out. Ahi was ok but pretty plain and my sister said the katsu is good and serving size was a big generous! Overall, good place to come for quick meal!

    Mini Fish Chun and Beef Chop Steak

    Service was friendly Atmosphere was awesome and clean Food was Onolicious Hubby had mini fish chun Son had Reg Meat Chun and I had beef Chop Steak with vegetables All plates were delicious and appealing price range is affordable Prices was not as high as other places we ate at This eatery is our go to place to eat when we are in the area "Mahalo" Local Moco in Kapolei for excellent service and hospitality and entrees.

    Spam musubi

    Wanted a musubi between errands and tastes like a simple, home-cooked one! :) This restaurant looked like a popular place for big orders and I'd like to try their other food too

    Large Hawaiian Mural
    Reef A.

    First time this Loco Moco location. In general most of these locations are pretty decent. Ordered the Eggplant Stirfry with Chicken. Tasted ok but nothing memorable. The teriyaki sauce was very sweet. The chicken, vegetables and eggplant on par with my expectations for this kind of place. The Mac salad however was bland. Portioning was just average. Beautiful large Hawaiian mural on wall and nostalgic photos. Lots of seating. Seems pretty clean. Service was good. Cashier greeted me, said Thank you after paying, asked me if I wanted my soda now. Brought my takeout order to me while I sat waiting on one of the tables. If the Mac salad was good, I'd give it another star. Not sure if I'd return.

    Mochiko Chicken Regular Plate Lunch
    Emelryn Vebs D.

    We found a BOGO free plate lunch deal for Loco Moco Drive Inn in Midweek and couldn't resist clipping it. We got the Pork Lau Lau and Mochiko Chicken Regular Plate. Both were decent plate lunches, and the BOGO deal made it even better. The Pork Lau Lau had the right amount of pork and salt. Sometimes other places make it too salty, but this one was just right and cooked perfectly. The Mochiko Chicken was a little overcooked, but still good. Each regular plate came with a regular mac salad and 2 cups of rice. Nothing fancy, but it worked. Overall, decent food and a great deal. We'll definitely be back!

    I'm hoping the Mochiko Chicken is da bomb

    Broke Da Mouth really lives up to its name!…read more I've been here a couple of times and every visit has been amazing. Honestly, I was so food high after eating that I completely forgot to write a review! On my latest visit, I had the bone-in luau, and it was absolutely delicious, tender, flavorful, and full of that local comfort-food goodness. I paired it with their spicy garlic furikake chicken, and that combo did not disappoint! Definitely recommend giving this place a try, but there are a couple of things to know: check their hours before you go, especially on the weekends since they close early. And if you want to get your food without a long wait, line up before they open. The line gets CRAZY! But honestly, the wait is worth it. Come hungry and leave happy... and hopefully remember to write your review before the food coma kicks in!

We had so much food left, I took some home in my suitcase. It travels surprisingly well but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have storage containers or heavy duty ziptop bags for transportation. I think I prefer the spicy which was more kicky than spicy. But in a good way. The hype is real. We had lunch at Broke Da Mouth Grindz on our last visit to Oahu. It's fairly close to our hotel and came highly recommended by resort staff. We got the garlic furikake chicken with garlic butter shrimp and a "small" braised beef short ribs. The chicken and shrimp meal came with the obligatory two scoops of rice and mac salad. The short ribs, because it was a "small" order only came with one scoop of rice and mac salad. The portions were huge, even the short ribs. We had enough for lunch AND dinner, and there is still enough beef (and rice and mac salad) for another meal. It would have been awesome if there was some acid to cut through all the richness of our meal, but I am not a fan of kimchee so we passed on the pickled cucumbers. The chicken was so crispy and there were no nasty bits that make me anti-thigh. Even heating the leftovers up in the microwave didn't change the texture. The chicken came with some sort of sauce that was yummy, but unnecessary in my mind. The shrimp was delightfully garlicky and thankfully served headless. The short ribs were fall apart tender and delicious. It also came with some sauce that I don't think either one of us used. It was good, though. The ube ice cream mud pie was amazing. And amazingly huge. We did not order one, but a woman gave me a slice from her family's piece. Mahalo for a random stranger's generosity! If you're in the area and in the mood for local cuisine, give Broke Da Mouth Grindz a try.

After looking for a place to eat in Kapolei we came across Gina's Kapolei and walking into the restaurant we saw that Gina's son was working behind the counter!!! It was awesome to have the yummy food that was so much a part of my past . We got the family mini pack - it's great for 2-3 people who have a large appetite- 3 large pieces of Kalbi - bulgofi - man du - BBQ chicken- meat Jun - rice and choice of 4 veggies. It's a generous portion of meat more than enough for 3 people and we had leftovers too. The food is very good the Kalbi is a standout and the fried Man Du and meat Jun was excellent. We loved the seaweed w/ daikon - tofu and kimchee all so good. The people are friendly and really helpful - parking is plentiful.

So you can imagine the pure joy I experienced when I walked into Gina's and recognized the banchan, size and char on meats, the smell, being surrounded by local families and friendly faces behind the counter. My heart leapt for joy seeing that I could have both fish jun AND kalbi and if I wanted I could've gotten a third choice. My eyes spotted a familiar side dish of seasoned potatoes, which I left it for the next person and got the daikon, perfectly seasoned not dry at all jap chae, and kim chi cucumbers. When I took my first bit into the kalbi, life was made good again. It was reset and welcome home I needed. It was a perfectly cut and marinated kalbi. The fish Jin was seasoned so well I barely needed to dip it into a sauce. The portions could have fed 2. I asked if they were related to the Gina's in Market City. Bro, this is the OG Gina's!! The owner said they sold the other one and his mom helped him start this one. It looked like the whole family was behind the counter. I wanted to cry. Not all things have changed in Hawai'i! Some things got better! OG Gina's being in Kapolei is one of em.

    This was my first stop for food after arriving in Honolulu, and it did not disappoint!…read more I was born and raised on Kauai and flew to Honolulu to visit family, so one thing I was craving was really good, authentic Hawaiian food. This place was exactly what I wanted! We ordered the Hawaiian Tasting Platter, which was perfect because it included so many different components of traditional Hawaiian food. Everything was excellent! The limu poke and tako poke was fresh and delicious and the squid luau and lomi lomi salmon were definitely standouts for me. I haven't had really good squid luau and lomi lomi salmon in a long time, and theirs was some of the best! The chicken laulau was huge and packed with chicken and so Ono! Their menu has so many popular Hawaiian favorites plus plenty of other dishes I'd love to come back and try. The service was excellent, and the restaurant is a nice-sized, casual spot that feels comfortable and welcoming. The only thing I'm puzzled about is their restaurant name. I kind of figured it would have a name that showcases their Hawaiian food or a better name. Definitely a place I would return to whenever I'm back in Honolulu. If you're craving authentic Hawaiian food, this is a must-try!

Five minutes passed and no one came by our table nor acknowledged us, other than the bartender at the beginning. After ten minutes passed, a server past us twice, but we still didn't get any acknowledgement nor any water. So we elected to leave and go to a different seafood place. My family and I are pretty understanding people, and it would have been different if someone came by and said something along the lines of, "sorry guys, we're short staffed and will get your order in a bit," or "I'll be right over to take your order," just some type of acknowledgment. Instead we observed a server walk by us twice, look at us and continue to be on their way. That left a sour taste in our mouth and made us feel like we didn't belong. Second, it appeared as though other people were also waiting to either order, get their check, or their food. But the servers were more focused on the patrons at the bar than those on the table. Overall, we were disappointed by the service and decided to go somewhere else for our family dinner.
