One of my favorite restaurants to buy a medium pan of garlic chicken. Perfect for a pot luck event for Sunday service with the garlic sauce on the side. read more

Went here recently to grab lunch and go. Tried their regular Loco moco that came with two eggs two ground beef patties Mac salad and lots of rice. Well done comfort food but nothing that stands out. They do have a large menu of the usual plate lunch options. Fair price for what you get. Lots of parking in the area. read more

Fast and friendly. Ono onion rings! I called in the order and when I walked in they told me they would drop the onion rings and French fries because they didn't want me eating old fried food! Loved the care! read more

Cashier girl literally looked at us looking at the menu for 5 minutes and when I was finally ready to order she says sorry were closed. Great customer service! (Sarcasm) read more

Great food. Floors are getting dirty. Fix door swinging open... flies. Friendly service. Catered food is great too.

This is the third time this has happened. Finally got to say something. Food is all well and good enough but how do u mess up the rice. Undercooked and still raw in the middle. Not twice but three times. Was starving so ate it anyways now I got a stomach ache. Sad and disappointed. read more

Loco Moco - $10.99 MIX PLATE for the hungry mam Teribeef/Katsu - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Loco Moco serves comfort local food. The prices are more than reasonable and tax is factored into the prices displayed so, the price you see is the price you pay, very convenient and I wish all stores did this. Be sure to try the crab cheese wraps and fried ice cream, those are my favorite sides. In terms of entrees, I'm a meat lover so I enjoy the BBQ mix plate. It has BBQ chicken, short ribs, and teriyaki beef with two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad (you're able to substitute for toss at an additional charge). Other noteworthy dishes include the Loco Special, katsu curry, and NY steak w/ shrimp plates. However, the quality and taste depend on the cook for that day. A majority of the time our food is tasty and cooked well but, there are inconsistencies. read more

Cashier recommended the garlic chicken and it was really good. Service was prompt. The right price for large portions. I ordered 4 different plates, was about $40. It fed a family of 5 for 2 days. read more

They have great customer service. The girls are helpful and polite. However, on the last couple of visits I have noticed that even if you get your order quickly the food is not on point. You can tell by the food temperature and texture that it was pre-cooked. They have a great selection to choose from which is why we are patrons but don't think we'll be back for a while. read more

Not worth $7.50! I should have gone to McDonald's or Jack in the Box instead. The atmosphere is ok looking and pretty decent and expected but some they need more lighting. It's to dim in there. The food is a different story. I ordered orange chicken and the chicken was either under cook or over cook with lots of breading. The rice on the other hand tasted and smelt like it was a day or 2 days old. My dad ordered chicken katsu curry and it came with a little bit of curry to cover only 2 or 3 pieces of chicken. I ended up having to ask for chicken katsu sauce and was charged .25 cents. Terrible place to eat. read more

When I'm on the Islands, I'm a fan of the local food (Hawaiian bbq plate lunch), the kind that is often served in styrofoam boxes with a couple scoops of rice and mac salad. Being an expert on that kind of food, I can just take a look at the pictures and pretty much tell you if it will be ok. I'm looking at the entréesto see the different kinds of okazu they have, I'm looking at the sauce and gravy. So on the way to back to our timeshare for a torch lighting ceremony, we stopped at Island Style and pick up some bentos for dinner. OOOh yeah, it hit the spot. It was even mo betta than I expected. It was the best in Kapolei area of Oahu. read more

Best plate lunch I've had in years and great Hawaiian breakfast. If I could I would take a giant back hoe and scoop this place up and drop it on top some mediocre place near my house in Seal Beach if I could. Then I would eat there often, if not more. Maybe I would drop it on one of those nail places we don't need any more of. I would drop it on the Fairy Tea Cottage but then I'd have to find a new place for my quilting group and those buzzies don't take well to change. read more

They used to be good but the food has gotten junk and over priced and this is the second time i've called to place a order so I don't have to wait and I get we're not taking phone orders only walk ins, seriously? I get there 10 mins later to order dinner and only 2 people in there not to mention what a stupid thing to want to fill up the place with people ordering and waiting for orders IF they were busy, take the phone order and the place wouldn't be over crowded as it is a small place. This is the last time i'll frequent this place cause the food today was junk also read more

I've been coming here since they first opened a long, long time ago. I even worked here when I was in high school. The food is the same as any other local food establishment. The workers here are okay. Sometimes on "good" days they actually don't look like they got a stick up their...well you know... They really don't look like they like their job and when they take your order they look at you like "hurry up already". At least they don't dress like they're working at a hostess bar like L&L at the strip mall next door. I come for the food not for the environment. read more

Sweet workers and great food. They bring the food to you when your order is done and the workers are very friendly. Will be coming to this one more often than the one in my area. read more

Chili loco is ono. And so is the Garlic fries. The staff is always nice and they bring your food to you. Once in a while it's loud due to kids being in here. But that wont stop from always coming back to eat here. read more

Loco Moco - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I am a sucker for great customer service. I ordered two medium pans; one chicken katsu and one BBQ chicken for my daughter's birthday party. The young women at the shop were very patient with my constant calls to see if the food was ready. And, when I arrived at the store, they were very pleasant with me: provided chopsticks, and a worker walked me to the car with the other box of food. AWESOME! Oh, and it's a plus when the katsu and BBQ chicken are a hit. Yum. read more

Super, super slow service. Don't come here if you are expecting fast food. We ordered three regular plates and it took well over 30 minutes to get them. Food might be good but I couldn't say because it took so long to get it. Won't be coming back anytime soon. Going to go to a place that has faster service. read more

Love this place! Why? 1)The workers are always friendly, they seem to genuinely like their job. 2) This place is ALWAYS clean 3)You can make your own combo plate 4) The plates are worth the price 5) The menu is huge & the price you see is the price you pay!!! The OMG fries, Classic Loco Moco, and Kalua Pig and Cabbage are just a few of my favorites. There's a water container in the back along with a condiment basket so help yourself! read more

Everybody loves Loco Moco garlic chicken! SPOILER ALERT!!: not Kapolei's Loco Moco. We ordered a small pan of it for a potluck and when I asked if they could put the sauce on the side, they said NO! Picked up the chicken and it was soggy with too much sauce! By the time we ate at the potluck, it was even worse! The reason I asked for the sauce on the side is because I ate there a few days ago and the garlic chicken had too much sauce on it then, as well. Go to Mililani Loco Moco or any other than Kapolei. You'll love the garlic chicken! read more

Okay with a nickname Cy Da Local Guy, I have to check out a place called Loco Moco Drive in in Kapolei. Okay before I continue here is a deep thought. I always wondered why they spell it Loco instead Local. Loco is defined as crazy in spanish. So actually Loco Moco is Crazy Moco. Okay I must be crazy for even thinking about this, alright sorry back to the food. WIth a name like this I better try the Loco Moco right. Nope I was heading to a get together so I wanted something small so I ordered Regular Chicken Katsu Plate for $6.25 (yes I know it doesn't sound small but I didn't eat it all I promise) Okay the chicken Katsu was okay. They gave a lot but the katsu had a lot of breading (I want more meat) and the katsu sauce was bland. So they received a 3 star because if you want a typical plate lunch, then here you go. They have an extensive menu of local food. They have a lot of specials especially for breakfast. In the words of Cypress HIll, "I think I'm going Loco". Well maybe if I'm in Kapolei. read more

I don't feel entitled to criticize this establishment, because their (Hawaiian)food is good. The food that is bad though is Hawaiian food in general. Not bad tasting but super bad for you! If this is Hawaiian food, then there should be more obese people in Hawaii. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious but of course it is going to be delicious when the food is all carbs, starch, sugar, fat, and....al ot of it. The portions are just ginormous. Dieters, beware. read more

We wanted to stay out of Zippy's so we gave this a try. What a mistake. The staff was a bit rude. When I asked for one of the breakfasts that included fried rice, I was informed they were not making any. Then my husband ordered breakfast with sausage and hash. The sausage was VERY salty and the hash was deep fried in a patty form. The table we sat at was sticky and when we were informed the location for the cream for coffee, there was no real cream, it was creamer. Yuck. It could have been better. Such a disappointment. Zippy's would have been better. read more

I got the garlic chicken, hubby got the spicy teri pork...you really can't go wrong. The simple mac salad is good, the Teri pork was better than my chicken, but I was not disappointed. Good stuffs! The spam musubi was not bad either. read more

Loco Moco Kapolei Yes, all the dishes on the huge menu is delicious, but come enjoy the great customer service! The Loco Moco employees greet you with a smile and a "Welcome!" They are very patient while you scan the many choices on their electronic menu boards and even bring your order to your table! The employees keep their restaurant clean and well stocked. Upon departure, they even make time to call-out a "Thank you",..now that's customer service! Good job, Reynold! read more

I remember coming here in High School to get the Katsu Curry, and it still hasen't changed the restaurant still looks the same and the Katsu Curry still taste as great. I really can't comment on the environment since it still looks the same after all these years. Service is excellent and quick, but the past part is the Drink sizes. The have the biggest large cup i've seen. If you live in Kapolei you definitely know this place. read more

For the sheer fact that I was lazy one afternoon, I decided to give this place a try. Upon entering this little shack, I asked the waitress, "So what's good here?" I figured she'd say "loco moco" hence the name. She replied...combination plates, breakfast special (which is available all day). You basically get two eggs, rice, and a choice of meat for 5 bucks and some change. Not bad. I went with their Combination plate so I could try an assortment of meats, namely, teriyaki beef, mochiko chicken, and furikake fish. Let's start with the good. Mochiko chicken good. My daughter practically ate all of it leaving me to wonder truly how good it was since I only had a bite. Gggrrr...! Onward. The furikake fish was nicely fried. The flavor of the crust was great, but there was something about the fish that I can't quite put my finger on...was it old? I dunno. Something was "fishy." I saved the best for last! The teriyaki beef was rubber beef. I kid you not! I broke a knife trying to cut it. I punctured a hole on the bottom of the styrofoam plate several times. I finally gave up and let him win. This sucker refused to be eaten! FINE! He won. I give up! The flavor was fine...just couldn't bite into it! I looked around to see if anyone was watching the free comedy show I was providing. I also looked around to see if anyone had the same problem. Nope...then again...no one ordered the teriyaki beef. Noted. Order anything besides fish and beef. I also ordered "da kine" which is two scoops of vanilla ice cream, slush puppy in your choice of red or blue flavors, li hing mui syrup, and heaping mound of whipped cream. What I got was old vanilla ice cream, tons of cherry red slush, no li hing anything, and a whole can of whipped cream, topped with red syrup. Normally I don't order this kinda thing, but it was a small celebration of my daughter's tear free 1st day of preschool and that calls for a celebration no matter how small. She vigorously ate it, while I just tried to calculate the millions of articles that advised against this monstrous bowl of naughtiness. I guess it's not bad if you share it with..oh 4 people on a hot day. I would come back to try their other stuff. Lunch time was busy ....so these folks must be coming for something good. I will tell you one thing. If I'm looking for some dirty construction workers...i know where to go. Loco Moco Drive Inn has no shortage of blue collar local boys looking for some grub at lunchtime...that's for dang sure! read more

Dined here a few days ago with my ohana and the food was delicious. The only downfall with our visit was my chicken came out undercooked. I had the seafood plate with bbq chicken. Everything else was great. Definitely will come. Service and staff was great. read more

"Kapolei" Loco Moco is obviously franchised out. It is understandable to have different cooks, yet they need to use, and stick to a tasty recipe because the food taste different everytime. It is upsetting when it doesn't taste great like the first time you tried it. It isn't good that their food lacks flavor period. The macaroni salad lacks taste all the time. Don't let this location think less of the original "Loco Moco". read more

I don't understand how 3 people who ordered after me get their orders first because you are short 1 cook? BS. This place isn't worth the wait or the bs. I don't recommend based on the slow and unprofessional service. read more

We ordered, Kalua loco moco, machiko chicken, and spam masubi... everything was delicious, staff was super friendly as well. We will be sure to get some more before leaving! read more

Hits the spot but nothing to scream about. Food was ready quick. Add an extra dollar for garlic fries w your burger or sandwich meal. Mac salad average. Burger was tasty. Clean seating area. Glad I came here instead of going fast food. Good meal before going groceries at Safeway next door! read more

Loco Moco - Double hamburger meal - Barbeque Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Fried mushrooms where just boiled not fried! No breading and still cold! Sucked! Will never go again! $15 waisted! Under cooked rice!

Our go to plate lunch place and they're portion sizes are generous. We also love their ice cream slushies too.The service is always great and we are never disappointed with their food. The cashier that took our order was exceptional! The other cashier helping bagging our stuff was efficient but I was very disappointed when she took off her mask while opening our plate lunches to confirm our order and bagging our items. We were waiting outside but could see in through the glass doors. When food handling even though there are no guests in the restaurants, they should be wearing their masks. Sadly I will definitely consider a different option next time. read more

Definitely get your moneys worth! Big plate lunches!! Great customer service!! My favorite is the Teriyaki steak and any of the combination plates. The curry plates are also good, even though I cannot finish the whole thing. Overall I prefer this place my must go for plate lunches in the Kapolei area. read more

When I come home from college on the mainland, and am in need of a plate lunch, Loco Moco is one of my stops! The food is good and its decently priced. Hospitality could be better. The eatery is small, but I always take it to go, so it really doesn't matter. There is a good variety of local foods ranging from chicken katsu to garlic mahi and mixed plates of BBQ chicken, kal-bi, etc. My favorite is the garlic chicken. I usually get a small and its fills me up. The mac salad recipe they use is one of my favorites. Overall, the food is great and decently priced. Extensive menu of local favorites. Service is a hit or miss on select days. The place is small (few tables that comfortably fit 2 people max), so I would take it to go. If you're jonesing for some local grub, Loco Moco is a place to check out. read more
