We were on the hunt for a quick and satisfying meal on a Thursday evening, and a family member who lives in the area recommended this spot for island comfort food. The menu is simple and straightforward - you have a choice of mochiko (breaded) chicken, char siew chicken, shredded pork, or beef kalbi ribs - and we ended up ordering the mochiko chicken with a side of mac salad. While we took our food to-go, the ambiance of the Lumberyard (the food hall that houses Malo) seemed like a neat place to grab a drink and/or bite to eat with friends while watching the game. The mochiko chicken plate featured a crispy chicken cutlet served on a bed of rice, alongside a hefty scoop of mac salad (you can also choose crab potato salad as your side dish). Everything was drizzled with a sweet and slightly smoky aioli-type sauce. The meal was delicious and would pair excellently with a beer from one of the other eateries in the Lumberyard. In addition, the chef/owner was very friendly, and since we arrived early for our pick-up, we had the opportunity to watch him freshly prepare our food in the kiosk's tiny kitchen. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Wow! Excellent favors! The staff is also very helpful and friendly, but what really stood out was how tasty the food was. This is a kiosk in the Lumberyard, which includes a few other dining options, a full bar, seating both indoors and outdoors, games, and TVs. The Lumberyard is a great place to hang out, and Malō is a highlight here in terms of food. The Mochiko Chicken was recommended as the best thing to get, so I had to try it. Absolutely delicious! I also tasted the sauce from the Char Siew Chicken, and it was also delicious. Both of these were a little on the salty side, which I thought was great. However, if you're sensitive to salt that could be an issue. The Crab Potato Salad was very good. The Macaroni Salad was a little more basic, but also very good. The staff was super great, and the food was just out of this world. While I appreciate that there are several other food venues in the Lumberyard (all of which I have tried) I won't be able to resist opting for Malō whenever I stop by. read more

Jeddy at Malō makes an awesome chicken sandwich! The size and taste are both big! Certainly one of the most unique chicky sandies I have had! Everything there looked great. A must stop food stop with an upscale food truck kind of feel. read more

Malō Caters - Mochicko Chicken Sandwich with House-Made Island Mac Salad - Caterers Near Me - Moscow , Idaho

I got the pick two protein plate to share with my boyfriend and it was plenty big for the both of us to share. We got the Char Siew and Mochiko chicken and both were delicious. The Mochiko chicken was super moist and had really good flavor. The sauce on both was creamy and not too overpowering. The potato and macaroni salad were different from what I've typically eaten in a good way. Will definitely be back! read more

Malō Caters - Pick two plate - Caterers Near Me - Moscow , Idaho

Was in Moscow and wanted a quick bite to eat. Was delighted to find this little spot. It's in a great location with large courtyard seating outside and even a small playground for kids. Both chicken dishes were amazing and had great flavor. The two sides I got paired great with both chickens and the rice. The sauce drizzled on top was the star of the show for me that really gave these dishes a signature flavor. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We decided to try Malō today, and we were graciously welcomed in out of the rain by the kind gentlemen working. We ordered the short rib and the chicken sandwich. The employee asked if it was okay if he could remix my sandwich and I said of course! Within the first couple bites of the short ribs, you could taste authentic Hawaiian flavors. The short ribs were seasoned perfectly. The remix of the chicken sandwich was bursting with amazing flavor. The chefs aioli was a dominant but amazing touch to the chicken sandwich. The only thing missing is those beautiful beaches of Hawaii and warm weather! Highly recommend Malō! read more

What a blessing for Pullman to have a place as great as Malō. The food is absolutely delicious. My favorite is the char siew chicken, but everything on the menu is great. read more

So yum! We ate at their location in the Lumberyard. Super friendly service and a delicious meal.

Hands down the best chicken sandwiches I've had. It's located in a really nice area with great outdoor seating and tons of room for kids to play read more

Amazing. Came here for lunch with a party of six and we all ordered different items from the menu. The guy got our food to us pretty fast despite him being the only person cooking, and the food was amazing. It doesn't look like much on the plate but trust me it will fill you up. Flavors are so unique compared to other island restaurants, and the man was so generous and gave our family a tray of lumpia for free. Love it! read more

Malō Caters - Lumpia - Caterers Near Me - Moscow , Idaho

Being from the islands, I often crave the flavors of home. I ordered the, Kalua Pig plate and it was AMAZING! The dish was eye catching, tasty and filling. The added hint of, Char Siu sauce on the rice was an outstanding touch. The mac salad reminded me of grandma's recipe. Well plated, well made, WELL DONE! Highly recommend, 10 out of 10. If you are in, Moscow, ID and craving a bit of, Hawaiian/Local style food, this can't be beat. The price is affordable to enjoy a taste of home. Little side note, someone with me ordered the mochiko chicken, I got to try a bite. Totally worth trying. I am not a fan of chicken. I would recommend the mochiko chicken with a 10 out of 10. The seating area was nice, especially if you have children. Let them play on the playground while you talk story with friends and family. Great vibes and good times. The staff was very friendly in the true spirit of Aloha! read more

This food was OUT OF THIS WORLD! prepared fresh, served hot and tasted amazing! Met the owner when he came to check on us and how everything was. He truly cared about our dining experience. We tried all of the available meats and NONE of them disappointed! The service was TOP NOTCH as the gentleman behind the counter described every item on the menu, the differences, the top ordered items, the under rated items and more. I would recommend this establishment over and over again! Can't go wrong with Malo! read more
