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

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.

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

The brisket was soft, flavorful, delicious. What was the surprise winner with my family??? The brisket bbq sauce. Didn't think a sauce was gonna be the show stealer but everyone raved. So obviously there is a great balance in taste here. Well done. I wholeheartedly recommend. Until next day off...

All sauces are great! Please if you got the time go try em. We also have called in an order and ate it at home! A hole the wall place but you don't leave with a hole in your stomach.

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!

Usually we have to remind our server(s) about forgotten food or flag someone down to order but Nicole was constantly checking in on us, didn't have to wait too long for anything and refilled our drinks without a wait. (thanks Nicole!) The only negative to our visit (which doesn't affect the 5 star rating) is that the vent was dripping oil in the booth section we were sitting in. My husband got grease drips land on him about four times during our meal. We did notify Nicole (our server) and said she would let her manager know. Otherwise this place is definitely a frequent go to!

The service was pretty good, it was clean, and not crowded. But the meat slices were inconsistent…read more I ordered the same meat twice, but one was perfect and the other was stringy and useless. My mother-in-law also ordered the ribs and said they were terrible. If not for that, I would rate it much higher. Hopefully it was just a one time thing. I'll go back later and hopefully I will have a different experience.

It took 30 minutes for my order. All i ordered was two plate lunches. They were making food for their employees and they were eating it where people could see. Not good for business. read more

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 was expecting pick-up to be quick since it seems like a fast casual place, but it took maybe about 20 minutes, even though I'm pretty sure their food is pre-made already. I would probably choose McDonald's (in the same lot) over this.

On the outside it's a little hole in the wall but once you go inside it's small, cute and very clean. 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.

Ordered online and order was ready fast within 10min or less. This go around chicken didn't seem the same. Flavor was lacking like needed more salt/seasoning. Also notice a lot of red inside near the bone. Meat had a lot of red like chicken was a bit under in the med well range. I ate most of it but not around the bone area as it tasted bloody. Pulled pork was part of the combo I chose. Pork didn't have much flavor or salt as well. Bbq sauce on the counter was about empty but managed to get some in the container cup which made it better. I ate at the back tables and seen the cook remove cooked chickens. Didn't notice temp probes or anything to check internal temps of meat. I'll be taking a break for a bit maybe staffing issues or what not but will try again in the future.

So cute, original, spotless & smelled good too. I ordered take out online & got there in 10 min but our 5 plates wasn't ready yet. 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!

We got a Large Loco Moco and a Small Garlic Ahi…read more Garlic Ahi: Really good! I was actually surprised by how big the portion was for a small. Definitely felt like a good amount of food. Loco Moco: 6/10 -- It was okay, but the sauce was the part that didn't really do it for me. I was hoping for a richer, more flavorful gravy, but it tasted a little lacking. Overall, the service was quick, easy, and fast, and our food and beverages came out without much of a wait. The Garlic Ahi was definitely my favorite of the two.
