    Ordered two lunch plates that I saw the reviews on Yelp of their Garlic Fried Chicken and chicken tonkatsu plate that are generous with their portions. Indeed portions are enough for two. I tried calling in but their phone kept ringing until hung up so I drove there to to place my order. Yes, their portions are generous for the garlic fried chicken. If it's karaage it'll be a different taste and coating fried chicken which I miss so much after my return here. I could make it but I've retired to cooking . Nonetheless Mark's been at the Stadium Mall for the longest time but never venture into their take outs or dine in at their tiny cozy place.

    Love the delicious, juicy and crispy goodness of the chicken from Mark's Drive Inn. You can't beat the low price of a $12.75 combo of bbq chicken and katsu. This mini portion of lemon chicken was also a winner. Found in the shopping complex with Ice Palace, there is a lot of parking. #bigboyproblems

    Had time for a quick lunch and we were craving hamburger steak with gravy. Mark's is a consistent plate lunch place and it's affordable! Friendly service and food is cooked quickly and piping hot. The seating area is very limited so try to get there on off hours. We've been going to this place for over a decade I think and the food is still super ono, I highly recommend this place if you work close to the "Ice Palace Skating Rink".

    The food is always on point! Service is fast and ono! We bought the chicken katsu and pork eggplant over cake noodles.

    Inside dining area. Small little area but clean.

    We were in the area for a pet store and decided to check this place out. A variety of good local dishes at decent prices. Food was made to order. Had a good experience here, would go back again. Good service and good food.

    Good plate lunch spot. service is quick like ur typical plate lunch spot...well I only did take out so I always phone order and foods always ready when I get there. It's a small place.

    Chicken katsu plate lunch
    Jonathan C.

    Great portions for great prices! I had the chicken katsu lunch plate, which came with a very generous portion of chicken along with steamed rice and mac salad. Perfectly fried and very flavorful. Staff were very friendly. Would come back for lunch again in the future!

    Great food at a reasonable price. Also a convenient location with lots of parking. Great spot for local food and Chinese food

    Seafood combo! Delicious!
    Vincent T.

    You're typical hole in the wall drive inn and L&L look alike. Although they have what L&L doesn't. Chinese menu items! Next time I have to try them. But I had their seafood combo with Teri beef and it was pretty good.

    Lemon chicken
    Kanani C.

    Super fast cooking! Lemon chicken- no different than l&l - fairly dried out. But if you eat it right away, it may still be juicy. Breaded pork chop - sorry but terrible. Had to throw the whole thing away. Very thin, very dry. Bittermelon - parents enjoyed it.

    Sweet Sour Pork with Mac Salad and Rice.

    On Tuesday, 11/26/24, at 11:30a I stopped by at Mark's Drive Inn to pick up lunch. I ordered the Beef with Bittermelon plate lunch. It came with 2 scoops of rice and a Mac salad. The Bittermelon was cooked perfectly with a crisp vegetable crunch and covered with a savory black bean sauce. The delectable beef married well with the stir fried combination. Although this place is small, there are some seats if you need to eat inside. Overall, this is a great place to pick up something quick to eat. I will be back again and get something else at Mark's Drive Inn.

There is also a history of W&M burger from the humble beginnings of starting a burger place. You can call ahead and even order online so your food is ready to be picked up. If you go to the counter then be prepared to wait a little bit, as they are flame-grilled made-to-order burgers and fries. If you want a side of nostalgia with your delicious burger, then check out W&M! Happy Eating!

She made us feel genuinely welcomed, took great care of us throughout our meal, and was quick, attentive, and friendly the entire time. Her excellent service made an already enjoyable visit even better. The food was fantastic. The burger was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly, while the fries were extra crispy with a delicious garlic flavor that really stood out. Since it's an open-air restaurant, it was a little warm dining at around 1:00 p.m., but that was the only minor downside. Overall, everything was lovely, and Christine's outstanding hospitality made the experience memorable. I would definitely come back!

Walking through it all, we reminisced about the old International Market Center. We started toward the Food Hall, and Debs said that Banzai Burger was good, so we went. The woman working was so nice! I ordered a Waimea burger which has two patties, cheese, sauteed onions, and bacon. It was good and came with some nice crispy fries. Deb ordered a child's meal with two little sliders and fries. We sat facing Kuhio and watched all the different people walking by. It was all very fun because some of them were funny to watch! It's interesting how some of the tourists will not venture outside of Waikiki and would only do so on a tour. Banzai does have some really cold Coronas, so I suggest coming here, sitting back, and watch the world go by! Mahalo Banzai!

There is a private lot that you can park in, so parking is free and not an issue. However, looking for this place might be. It's literally just a black door with a white window and red light above it that's located next to the stairs and on the first floor. Just roll up to the door/ window where you can find their menu. It's a pretty small menu but what is offered is out of this world! I don't know where else you would get a double patty smash burger for only $9! Just push the button and a guy will open The window to help you. Once you place your order bell close it again and you'll just have to wait for it to be prepared. He'll open it up again when your food is ready and that is when you pay for your goods. It gave me mafia vibes here and it felt so secretive lol. Kind of like a speakeasy but for burgers? Lol I'm sure the effects would be moreso in the middle of the night with a little red light on the door. I picked up the og burger + onion rings. Their fry sauce was sweet chili oil + Mayo and fried to perfection. But - I think for just $2 more I should have got the other burger instead. Lol. The burger was huge and so juicy.

The place is very hard to locate, due to the lack of good signage, but it's in the shopping center right next to the Lobster King. Parking is very difficult too, so maybe have another person with you who can order and wait for the food. I'm not going to lie, the wait time for the food is extremely long for just burgers and fries--took more than 30 minutes--but please keep in mind this is a small business. I think there were only 2 or 3 people working, an auntie, uncle, and a younger guy who I believe was cooking. The food looked so beautiful but everything was too salty and the patties were way too charred, which I'm hoping was a one off thing. I did DM them on social media shortly after picking up our order and they said it was an off day. They offered for me to come back one day so they can make things right, but I don't know if I'll have the time to swing by anytime soon. I truly hope this business does well, they are the sweetest people I've met in the last few months, and I wish them nothing but the best. I hope others have a better experience than I did. I mean look at how beautiful their burgers are!

The patrons were awesome, prices were comparable, service very friendly, beers were tasty but wished they had more variety, and the food options were very limited. This was also a family and pet-friendly (events on certain nights) place. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $145.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
