We stopped by to use the MidWeek BOGO coupon and ordered my son's favorite garlic chicken (all rice) and a chicken katsu. Instead of the usual katsu sauce, I asked if I could have the ginger sauce instead since I'd seen other places offer it. They said yes, and let me tell you... it was a game changer! If you're a ginger lover like me, definitely give it a try. With the coupon, both plates came out to $14.xx. Pretty affordable if you ask me. The chicken katsu was hot, crispy, and a generous portion. The garlic chicken came out fresh and delicious too. Plates come with Mac salad or toss greens with their pink homemade sweet dressing. It actually tastes pretty good, too. I always call my order in ahead of time because I don't like waiting, and every single time I arrive, my food is already ready. We usually just pick it up and eat there, and the service has always been quick and friendly. One tip: Yelp listed them as closing at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, but I called just to make sure since hours can change, and they actually closed at 8:30 p.m., which gave us plenty of time to pick up our food and eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is there isn't a restroom inside the restaurant. They'll give you a code to use the restroom behind the shopping center, or you can walk to Safeway.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you use the one behind the mall, I'd recommend going with someone, especially at night, since that area can sometimes attract a few sketchy people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, great food, generous portions, fast service, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Loco Moco - Regular Size Beef Stew. $16.22 - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

$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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

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 read more

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!! read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a tiny location with a few 4-seater tables available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of people walking in to take out while a few of us stayed to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

Called in an order as was told it will take 25-30 minutes. Well its been 50 minutes and food still not ready. I see other people coming in pick up order and theres is ready.

The $30 special for the garlic chicken definitely not worth $30. When I got my small pan its was half full, not worth it. I miss the old owner and the food was better especially the portion. read more

We decided use a coupon from a circular received in mail for buy one entree receive second for free. It is a great deal, purchased the Kailua pork and cabbage plate lunch and a chicken plate lunch free. Both came with rice and Mac, I ordered green salad instead. The pork and chicken were Ono, and have enough for husband I I to have lunch on left overs. All this for less than 17.00. The ordering was easy at counter, staff member very friendly. Took 10 minutes, as there were other customers waiting for their takeout. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you stay and eat there it's the usual strip decor and seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

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. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful large Hawaiian mural on wall and nostalgic photos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems pretty clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

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! read more

I stopped by Loco Moco- Kapolei on my way home. I was craving Mochiko Chicken. It's like a hit or miss. It's either good or not good. I ordered a special combo plate. The nice guy said that it was cheaper than purchasing two plates. I ordered the sweet and sour Spareribs with white rice & Mac Salad for Hubby. I got the Mochiko Chicken on the side for me. They cook it while you wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small but spacious enough that you some feel crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When the server brought me my order, it smelled sooooo good. I couldn't wait. I immediately grabbed a piece of chicken to eat right then. Seasoned perfectly, hot as ever. Just delicious. I truly believed that I had eaten all my Mochiko chicken on my drive home to the North Shore. There was 1 piece left for Zeus. Much to say, I will go back to order from Loco Moco-Kapolei again real soon. read more

Loco Moco - I'm hoping the Mochiko Chicken is da bomb - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Sometimes in the midweek Loco Moco has a coupon for one free regular chicken plate (katsu, bbq chicken, mochicko, garlic chicken) with the purchase of one regular plate lunch. Last night for take out I ordered a regular loco moco and opted for the free garlic chicken. The loco moco is good. My son loves their gravy. I don't ever get garlic chicken from places so I'm glad I went with garlic chicken last night. The garlic chicken had good flavor and the batter wasn't so crispy where it hurts the roof of your mouth. Love that although the chicken plate is free they don't skimp on the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean inside and the workers are always so nice when I pick up my food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Loco Moco - Teriyaki Steak Mini Plate Lunch - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Very disappointing. The worst hawaiian bbq that I have tasted. You can't taste the garlic in the garlic shrimp, the chicken katsu is too oily without taste and the BBQ mix was disappointing too. It lacks taste. I was just taking a few bites just to nourish myself but I never enjoyed the food. read more

Bbq mix plate with some kind of Teri sauce drizzled all over the meat. Definitely not a bbq plate. Meat was bland even with the sauce. Mac salad tasted weird, worst tasting Mac salad we've ever had. The bbq cheeseburger deluxe tasted okay. The patty was small it was almost half the size of the bun. Two big bite of just onion and lettuce. I've eaten here a couple times in the past, don't remember the food tasting this bad. Maybe new owners ‍ read more

Loco Moco - Combo plate lunch chicken katsu and teriyaki beef - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Stopped in for a quick dinner. The Mac salad is some of the worst I've had, incredibly bland. The teriyaki beef is fine. The chicken katsu was dry and tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp for a long time. We ordered the mini garlic shrimp plate and it came with 4 tiny overdone shrimp. The service was less than friendly too. People were fairly regularly coming in so hopefully our order was a one off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decent amount of seating too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ultimately I don't think I would be motivated to try this place again because of other options in the area. read more

Anyone who receives Midweek has probably seen the BOGO from this place. I even remember when it was in the Sunday restaurant section. It's been at least a year. Well, I finally took advantage of it (even though I actually have been cutting it out for a couple of months). And it really is a good deal. Unlike most of the people who had ordered lunch, I didn't. But I probably will next time. There were so many people who could just stroll in and pick up their food and leave. But the wait time wasn't too long. The food was piping hot (even after driving home to eat it). The pork cutlet was three pieces of cutlet. And the bento uses Spam , I really hate the cheaper luncheon meat). Not sure how they can keep doing this. Because most other places offer it when the restaurant is opening to introduce itself to the public Not months and months later. Honestly my two plates were around 7.50 each. read more

Our go-to for local grindz....picked up 5 plates and used their B1G1F coupon found in the midweek Meat Jun & BBQ Chix combo Garlic chix & Furikake Fish combo Hamburger steak Chili Chix Katsu As you can see in the photos, the portions are good size for the price. Each plate comes with 2 scoops of rice and 1 scoop of mac salad. My boys didn't want mac salad, so they got rice instead. read more

The guy that works the front counter is so great. So friendly and quick always working very fast. The portions are great for the price.

The food is good went this morning 11-7-23 I ordered the mini teriyaki steak with rice n Mac salad. The service is always pleasant the girls are so helpful. The ambiance is chill they have plenty of tables to eat inside. It's been a long time since I've been here but the food is still great tasting. I'm thankful to all local eateries that cook for me they really put out some quality food all the time. Next time I want to order onion rings. read more

Loco Moco - Teriyaki mini. - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I waited 25 minutes for a cheeseburger, a hamburger, and a mixed plate. 20 minutes into the order while waiting inside the store they give my order to another customer. The customer touches the hamburger and don't say nothing but the counter help comes in since it's the wrong order. If I didn't say nothing, they would've gave me the hamburger that the customer touched. The store is not the same as how it was in the past years, not coming back. read more

Here's a great place to come for some local food. The Loco Moco consists of white rice as a base, hamburger on the top covered with brown gravy (like that of Hamburg steak. The dish is then topped with a fried egg. There are multiple choices for a Hawaiian plate, I had chicken katzu curry, this is a brown curry and my favorite. The Hawaiian plate, typically eaten for lunch, is a dish consisting of protein, white rice, and a portion of pasta, usually a mayonnaise-based macaroni. Kahlua Pork tender and mouth watering. Garlic Shrimp plate also a favorite the shrimp are decent size with tails removed which to me is such a plus and the main reason we come here when wanting local plates. This is counter service and self seating walk in. We came here for great food, not ambiance. So much to choose from. So excited about our food that we completely forgot the pictures. Staff was great too! read more

Waited 25 minutes for one plate lunch combo on a quiet Sunday afternoon that costed $19.99 + tax only to open up my container to find one scoop of smashed rice, a scoop of mac salad and barely enough of the entree that looked like less than a mini plate at a competitor plate lunch restaurant! The meat wasn't marinated; cooked, but just dunked in sauce, the chicken breaded, but over fried and dry... The owner knew I was waiting long and didn't even apologize or offer me a compliment drink! I haven't eaten there since pandemic time, so I knew they were under new ownership because the menu appeared different and of course like all restaurants, the price increased. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area was clean and tidy, but dark.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll never go back there again! I'd drive to Kunia, Ewa Beach or Waipahu location inste For $20 I could've gotten a Korean BBQ take out a few doors down! read more

Dropped by this place since I was craving me some loco moco and I was happily satisfied. Garlic fries had fresh garlic on it and were lovely. Ordered the pork katsu loco moco and chili moco. The size of these things are enormous. I'm normally not stuffed after a single serving, but this place gives sooo much food. The pork katsu loco moco was a bit over fried but the gravy helped soothe things over. The chili moco was a surprise favorite as the chili was incredibly flavorful and the beef patties are homemade. Highly recommend trying the chili moco! Everything we had here was solid. read more

Tried this restaurant because I kept seeing their coupon in the midweek and with everything being expensive, I thought it would be a good deal. It was a big disappointment! Portion size was so small it looked like a mini plate. I ordered my usual mochiko chx and garlic mochiko chx. Chx was hard and no taste at all. I'll stick to my usual Loco moco in another area read more

Wow. Just terrible. The old Loco Moco is no more. Menu has changed, prices gone up. For awhile now, they have been featuring a BOGO offer in the Midweek. I used the coupon once a couple months ago and thought it was a pretty good deal. Food was not bad. Today, I decided to visit them again using the same BOGO coupon for this month. Oh boy, will never return. The plates were wayyyyyy smaller and just horrible. The chicken was still pink and when I touched the inside, it was SLIMY. Let me just throw up now. Bye bye $30. read more
