We ordered the loco moco and grilled garlic salmon. Each meal came with a lot of rice and Mac. The loco moco patty was over cooked and the gravy was kind of bland. The salmon was over cooked too. read more

Went to this restaurant today because so many are not allowing dine-in customers. Looked it up on Google search and it stated that dine-in is available. Walked in and saw all the tables covered up and two tables available. Ask the girl behind the counter if we can eat in and she said no. Advised her that the city and county are 100% open for full capacity and she stated that the manager didn't want to be bothered checking vaccine cards. So we left and went to another Loco Moco restaurant a few miles away that allows you to Dine-in and eat at the tables. It took the man at the counter about 10 seconds to check the vaccine card. My only hope in writing this bad review is for the owners to realize that some restaurants are open and serving customers and others are actively turning customers away because they don't want to take a few seconds to look at a vaccine card. read more

I felt like eating a katsu chicken, but saw a special of veal loco moco and gau gee. I guess they have to diversify their menu and expand. Being undecided, i ordered both. A short time later, the meal arrived & due to the pandemic, i took the food home... cannot eat inside. I Love the gau gee at the chinese restaurant and hope it would be the same. I took the first bite of the fresh hot gau gee and a rancid taste, like it was refrigerated for a while. The red sauce that came with it did not take away the bad taste... but i was hungry and did not finish it. The veal loco moco was different, very soft in texture and lots of rice. I hope it had more gravy but was ok. I should have ordered a regular hamburger loco moco instead. In the end, the meal was ok, and my expectations was too high, paying $21 for both. Maybe that's why both was on the special Menu, Go figure. read more

I ordered a Regular Plate Lunch of Mochiko Chicken which includes 2 Scoops & 1 Macaroni Salad. It looked appetizing, but it stopped there. The Macaroni Salad was alright. The Chicken had a burnt taste to it and I can barely taste the crunchy, salty-sweet of the Mochiko. I love this place, but I'm dissapointed that this time around was not so satisfying. read more

Went here randomly looking for local food. Very similar to other local restuarants offering their take on local favorites. Nice interior tropics decor with a cool island vibe. Small and quaint seatings. My one staple is always the Chicken Katsu. I was expecting more of a L&L taste but was surprised that even though the cook said itʻs just a simple recipe the crispiness and cruch was fresher than other places Iʻve had it. Some are soggy and oily, otherʻs dried and burnt. One of the things I also critique is their katsu dip sauce. Definitely one of my favorites which is a good balance of sweet and savory robustness. Some places make theirs super watery and too sweet while otherʻs make it with too much worchestshire sauce and thick. Theirʻs hit my pallete just right. Combined with the crispy and tender chicken katsu it made for a really savory juicy expierence. I also ordered it as a mini-plate with toss salad just to ensure my pallete could taste the flavor over the mac salad if ordered. The amount was equivilent in price value too. All in all, yes, basic and simple chicken katsu but decent and fresh enough for me to give 4 stars. Cashier might have been new and may need improvement in social skills but will definitely return again, order this and otherʻs as well. read more

FYI everybody, do not under any circumstance order the mini Kalbi which I found out is not on the menu but they will make it if you order it and it will cost you over $16.00. Even if you get a free chicken plate with the coupon from the midweek don't order the mini Kalbi because what you will get is a minimum of 2 pieces of the 3 bone part with no meat below the bone or probably 3 pieces of bone part with no meat below the bones with some rice and macaroni salad. I called them about 10 minutes after I left the restaurant and talked with the manager and he told me that he knows about it and that's the way it comes that's why I was given 3 pieces instead of 2. He kept telling me that he was sorry but that's how it is and that is why they don't have it on the menu. After not getting anywhere with the subject I told him then why was I not told about what I would be receiving in my order and I would not have ordered it instead of taking over $16.00 from me and serving me scraps. So I asked him if that was the best he could do then said that I was going to write this review on yelp to save people the trouble of going through what I went through. Other than that, I will order something else like chop steak next time while using the coupon. I would give it a 1 star for this visit. My loss, their gain on this one. read more

At first, I was a little unsure about Loco Moco BBQ because of the dim lighting walking in but their food & service definitely made up for it! The cashiers were extremely friendly and you could tell they were happy/smiling under their masks. I was just about to order their chili when the cashier noticed my undecided face & told me about their specials of the day. I'm a sucker for anything blackened, especially ahi tuna, so I was sold the moment she said it! The blackened ahi + spicy creamy sauce had a nice kick without burning off your tongue. I was stunned by the portion size and was sad to say I threw away about a quarter of my ahi because I was jumping on a plane. They only have a couple dine-in tables because of social distancing, so be prepared to sit on the wall outside to eat. I'll enjoy a yummy meal anywhere, so I didn't mind one bit! Definitely not the meal I was expecting walking in but so glad I tried it! read more

Asked for extra napkins cause they only give ONE per utensil set. She gave me two more napkins, so 6 pieces of thin napkins for 2 regular Katsu plates, 2 burgers and fries. 6 napkins.

Been coming here for 12 years now since I first moved to the island. This is the best loco moco on the island. Been to over a dozen other places so here's why: 1) best hamburger steak prep - excellent char on every patty and it never comes across like meatloaf which others do 2) great gravy - doesnt blow you away, but doesn't need to. there are more complex gravies on the island, but they tend to stand out too much and overpower the other ingredients 3) egg any way you want it - not much to say here, but if you order your egg 'over medium' they don't mess up 4) mac salad - yeah this mac can stand on its own but drowned in gravy oh man...yes Service has always been consistent. It isn't fast food, but it's never that long either - expect ~12 minutes. Calling in an order on your drive over is recommended if you're in a hurry. read more

Stopped by Loco Moco for a quick lunch while I was on break. The menu is HUGE. So many things to choose from! They also offer catering I believe so that's good to know for the future. Located in the Kapolei Shopping center right next to Fantastic Sams. Very small store. Walking in there are maybe 6-8 tables at most. The lighting is really dark. I think some might would really do this place justice! I went with the Spicy Meat Jin Special. I decided with this because I've never heard of "Spicy Meat Jun" so it looked interesting . Unfortunately it was regular meat Jun server with "Spicy Dipping Sauce" For $8.50 it was alright. Just wanted to give it a try. Don't know if I'd visit again. read more

My boyfriend was craving a Loco Moco and I decided to go and try this place out since it had Loco Moco in the name. There were plenty parking in the parking lot plaza. This was a small restaurant. They are known for catering. Their catering prices were awesome tho. We may look more into that when we host an event. As for the food, there are several options. I loved how there were different add ons to the loco mocos. My boyfriend got the onion rings loco Moco. I ended up getting mochiko chicken and bbq short ribs. The loco Moco was an interesting taste. The sauce was kind of different. It was okay! The mochiko chicken was really good tho. The bbq short ribs were also okay, they were mostly fatty and chewy. read more

I could live on the other side of the island, and I would still make the drive out during rush hour traffic to eat here! Best local plate lunches in the business, guaranteed to give you the meanest "kanak attack" with their generous servings. A wide variety menu makes it hard to decide, but everything is truly ono. Feeling something sweet? Don't leave without trying their deep fried ice creams, so satisfying and it definitely hits that sweet spot. Need a last minute order for your gathering? They've got you covered. My guests know to bring their own containers and ziplocks because they never leave my parties empty handed. The staff is absolutely amazing and wonderful! The girls are so welcoming and friendly, always quick to help or sharing their personal favorites from the menu. The owner is so personable, "always" makes sure you are taken care of.

I ordered the kalbi plate and had a pretty disappointing experience…read more While I appreciated the kalbi being conveniently cut up, the meat did not taste or feel fresh off the grill--the packaging temperature was lukewarm at best. The flavor profile was also a bit off, leaning much softer and significantly sweeter than what I would expect from good kalbi, making it tedious to eat. However, the real nail in the coffin was the rice. It had a bizarre, soapy taste to it--almost as if it had been sitting in an overly soaped plastic container that infused into the food. It was highly unpleasant and killed my appetite. The sides: The kimchi and japchae were good! The shoyu potatoes were just okay and nothing to write home about, as it didn't have any particular flavor.

The cashier was super soft spoken, and quite frankly she didn't seem to know what she was selling, or just plainly could not hear or understand her.

Its feels like eating at your friend's grandma's house, will this is how I feel, home comfort food vibe whenever I grab take out or dine in. Camille's Hawaiian Food is tucked all the way in Waipahu at Westgate Center, there are many shops here and it blends in but look for the wooden board out front with the daily specials. The prices at Camille's are reasonable and the portions size are great too, you really get bangs for your bucks here. I like they have the options of mini and regular plates. I've been here a total of 3 times, first time we tried the Hawaiian food, got take out, and most recently dined in and luckily we got some entertainment. We enjoyed the Hawaiian food, but I have to give credit to the other local foods we tried so far I got the pork chops with mushroom, garlic shrimp, crack chicken and smoked meat fried rice. Everything was tasty, really enjoyed it but just the crack chicken may be on the sweeter side, I would request for light sauce. The macaroni salad was fire! Rice cooked perfectly! There are many goodies in the fridge, pistachio cake, Ho'i'o salad, dried Aku, Opelu, Smoke Marlin, pickle onions, smoke tako, dried shrimp, drinks, and even Dubai chocolates! There are T-shirts, snacks, candies, chips for sale in front of cashier and towards the back of store. I love the color green and had to get a slice of pistachio cake, ($5.) what a treat, its been awhile since I last had pistachio cake. It was a huge slice, shared w/the hubby. It was yummy, so refreshing and moist. When I had my last bite, it got a little too sweet means I need to stop eating. hehe. Check out Camille's, support local. Oh I remember that the business is named after the owner's daughter.

When we first got to the restaurant, the bartender asked us how many and then directed us to choose our seat. The music was very loud by the bar, so we elected to find a seat as far away from the music as possible. My family and I sat down and looked over the menu. 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.

Saimin was pretty basic - nothing you couldn't make at home, and the broth was super salty. The beef stew was a little dry, and the mac salad was mushy and had way too much mayo.

I would probably choose McDonald's (in the same lot) over this.

The young lady that took our order was very friendly and also had lived in the Bay Area for a short time. We ordered the Korean chicken and the heart attack loco moco that comes with Brisket and pork belly. The Korean chicken came over rice with a side salad. The chicken was really good, fried with a perfect crisp and an orange sauce (great flavor and a little kick.) The loco moco was probably the best I've ever had the meats were very tender and the gravy was very flavorful. The egg was a little more cooked than I wanted but great overall. The Mac salad was unique it was like a potato salad with noodles and egg. It was different but very good as well. I will definitely be coming back again with my family next time.

I love that it's not overcooked so the egg coating doesn't get too dried out. Their meat jun sauce is also one of the best. The meat is a little on the thin side though. Their banchan was all pretty good with some unique stuff like this one thing with thin sliced fish cake like things. The Kim chi is top notch. The chop chae was another winner. Good flavor with a nice variety of veggies in there and pretty big pieces of beef. You can get the mandoo steamed or fried and we got steamed. I thought it was a little bland but it's also probably better fried. Not a problem for us but if you're vegetarian be aware that the tofu soup has clams in it.

Great Food, but the Service and Wait Times Are Extremely Disappointing…read more This Korean restaurant used to be one of my favorites, so it's really disappointing to write this review. Unfortunately, the service and wait times have gotten to the point where dining in is just not worth it anymore. We waited an entire hour just to be seated. When we arrived, there was one table with a reserved sign and another that simply needed to be cleared. There was only one party ahead of us on the waitlist, and they were seated shortly after we arrived. We actually experienced something similar last week when we were told it would be an hour wait, but decided not to stay. What made the experience even more frustrating was watching customers finish their meals and leave, only for ALL the tables to remain uncleared until everyone had left. There seemed to be no urgency to prepare tables for waiting customers. The waitlist itself was also poorly managed. They don't even cross off names of customers who have already been seated, making it appear as though there are still several parties waiting. This is misleading for customers arriving later who are trying to determine how long the wait actually is. Once we were finally seated, things didn't improve. We were the first group waiting to have our order taken, yet the lady took the order of the group seated after us first. The same thing happened to the couple who had been waiting behind that group. Instead of taking their order next, she served another couple who had arrived after them. There seemed to be absolutely no consideration for the order in which customers arrived or were seated. Meanwhile, walk-in takeout orders continued to come in, further delaying service for customers already seated and waiting. It appears the restaurant is severely understaffed, with only one man cooking and one lady handling everything else. I understand how overwhelming that must be, but the lack of organization makes the entire dining experience frustrating. Customers shouldn't have to wait an hour to be seated, only to be overlooked when it's time to order. The unfortunate part is that I genuinely love the food here, especially the kimchi and other banchan. That's what has kept us coming back. But they really need additional help and a better system for managing tables, waitlists, and orders. Sadly, this will be our last time dining in. We'll stick to takeout and look for another Korean restaurant where we can actually enjoy a sit-down meal without the excessive wait and frustration. The food is still great, but the dining experience is definitely not worth the wait.

Luckily, we were in Waipahu again. Free, shared parking lot with other businesses. The staff greets all the customers. Restaurant seats up to 46 people comfortably inside. There's one table utilized for called via phone in advance, to go orders. AC blasting helped employees and patrons stay cool inside from warm Waipahu weather. Both to go containers were filled to the brim. I'm very selective and impressed with their beef broccoli and carrots. I loved everything from tender, marinated sliced beef, thinly sliced carrots and soft broccoli and gravy. One of the employees is forward thinking in wrapping the mapo tofu in cling or Saran Wrap to avoid spills. Loved the mapo tofu which tasted yummy and remained heat hot for my entire meal. Sauce had a little spice or kick. White rice tasted perfect and definitely complemented the sauce. Mac salad was a winner with light, cold mayo mixture, seasoned with some black pepper and grated carrots. Consumed everything with chopsticks and a spoon in my to go container.

Mililani Restaurant

4 stars for Mililani Restaurant!…read more The food was cooked really well, but everything needed salt, so the flavors never got to shine the way they could have. Which is honestly a bummer because if they had seasoned Bill's Fish & Chips... dude... it would've easily been the best we've ever had! The other day, my family stopped by Mililani Restaurant after my son recommend the fish & chips. Since I'm a sucker for variety - and I hadn't eaten here in about 20 years - I also ordered the Mini Fried Saimin and Mini Korean Chicken. I love seeing each restaurant's take on these local favorites. Bill's Fish & Chips: WOW. The full order is HUGE! You get three giant pieces of cod over a mountain of shoestring fries. The fish was cooked beautifully - super crispy on the outside while staying moist and flaky inside. But oh Lord... it needed salt! The fries had a great crisp too, although they did have that darker, old-oil flavor that was a little hard to ignore. Since I'm a foodie who likes to come prepared, I happened to have lemon wedges with me lol!... and man, did that take the fish to another level. Hey, don't judge! (I'm pretty sure my family was embarrassed... but ask me if I care. Hahaha! Jk... kinda.) We all agreed that if they had simply salted the fish right out of the fryer, this would've easily been a 5 star dish. Mini Fried Saimin: Can we talk about that portion size for a mini?! Super generous! Unfortunately, this one also needed more seasoning, and the oil flavor came thru more than the other ingredients. I know it's fried, so some oil flavor is expected, but it kinda overpowered everything else. A little more shoyu would've gone a long way. Since fried saimin is usually one of my favorite things to order (local girl at heart!), I'd give this one about 3 stars. Mini Korean Chicken: The sauce was delicious and reminded me of Sugoi's Garlic Chicken. The only downside was that the chicken itself wasn't hot. It tasted like it may have been cooked earlier and then portioned out for my plate. The service was friendly, helpful with recommendations, and they packed everything securely. Our order was accurate, and the prices felt fair for the amount of food you get. They definitely have a great variety for a neighborhood plate lunch spot. Would we make the drive all the way from Ewa Beach just for this? Probably not. But if we're already in the area, we'd absolutely stop by again. One last heads up... if you're planning to dine in, be prepared to leave smelling like the fryer. The ventilation could definitely use some help.. we all went straight to the shower when we got home!

The diner was full and had more take out orders so i get it... they were busy. But every employee walking around came to check on me and my son while we waited. And checked back multiple xs. Props to Mgmt for instilling great service skills in their team! Since we waited awhile i asked if my son could have a water but our order came out same time. Staff still went and made him a regular size water to go! I also didn't reaize the food doesn't come in bags or a box unless you check the box somewhere on the ordering site, but they were nice enough to excuse my newness & give me a cute matching themed bag. Normally you gotta pay for the bag, not sure how much tho. They have some killer daily specials: chicken katsu, NY steak or chicken bowl only $10.99 or burger & fries $8.99 (max 2 per customer)...who does that! Seriously a great value! Prices overall seemed lower here.. Katsu was good, short ribs good, fried chicken good (but like Japanese style battered and cut). The curry could be better. And i was disappointed in the katsu curry because the curry wasn't on the katsu, it was in a surprisingly small container that wasn't enough (see pics). My overall experience was great because of my experience with the employees, how nice & cute it was, & the food that I liked was good. I just won't get anything curry again. I'll be back for more $12 katsu! Oh & idk if I missed it but I WAS looking for noodles in the online takeout app & didn't find it. But their menu in store has noodles! Try check!
