Good food I like the katsu curry, waited kinda long one time and they gave me dbl the meat for the wait without me saying anything and they didnt let me know either! read more

Servings was bad, thought my wife ordered the beef tomatoes and pork chops for myself. Thought it was cheap for $15.00 per plate but was disappointed that there was hardly any meat for both of our order. If you put in the sliced meat in the spoon, it will total up two tablespoons of sliced meat. Whew. read more

I was introduced to their beef tomato years ago and every time I go back it tastes the same! Their Beef Tomato is the best!

I love this place so much. Food is great. Glad still have an old school place where quality is great. I hope they never change.

Haven't been here in a long time. Food and prices still awesome and the people are super nice. read more

Wondering, "What's for dinner?" Mark's Drive Inn has been here at the Stadium mall for years. (I'm a first timer) Longevity has to account for something, don't you think? My mom and sister both agreed-- the food at Mark's is decent and plentiful. Ok, "Make the call, I'm in!" 15 minutes later, we picked up our order. Oyster Sauce Chicken w/cake noodle: Dark meat pieces of well seasoned chicken that's deep fried to a crisp (it's a good thing) but still succulent. Noodles are deep fried, but, still a little chewy. (also, a good thing) This dish comes together with a slurry of Oyster sauce that's poured over the entire dish. (a very good thing) Salt & Pepper Pork Chop: Should've added the word, boneless. My favorite part of the pork chop is gnawing on the bone, and I don't mean pieces of bone. You know what I mean, right? Anyway, these "pieces" of pork is very well seasoned (see pic) and fried to a crisp. (Yes, a very good thing) Btw, I luv fried foods ... who's with me?!? Ok, so why not the full "5 star" rating?? Well, our order of -Oyster sauce chicken- was mistakenly given away to another customer who; ordered a -chicken vegetable dish- which, was then offered to us in lieu of our order ... ummm, no thank you! So, about 10 min later we got our piping hot freshly made Oyster sauce chicken. Hey, no problem, it happens. I get it. *Tip time* ALWAYS check to see if what you're picking up matches what you ordered ... and payed for ... you just might have MY order (it's not a good thing) Now, in Hawaii's "plate lunch" scene -- 2 things are VERY important: 1) the RICE better be cooked properly... not dry and chewy (our order) ... No bueno! 2) elbow pasta used in the mac salad can't be overcooked or undercooked. Ours was overcooked, very mushy and way too much mayo ... No bueno! So, 4 stars for today order. Pretty sure next time I'll give the full 5 stars. Longevity is attained by making it right. I'm sure today was merely a hiccup. - And remember, you're in Hawai'i :) :) :) Take care! read more

Always reliable. Minute Chicken Noodles with no vegetables gives the old Manapua truck vibes. Trust Me!

Bittermelon with pork was the best. Food was hot and fresh. The bittermelon was cooked well and not overcooked like some places, perfectly seasoned. Enough for two meals. read more

This is a can't miss place!!! We found it from a YouTube vlogger when planning our trip to Hawaii and it is INCREDIBLE! We had the Oyster Chicken plate, which comes with white rice and mac salad, and the Chicken Plate Special, which comes with BBQ and Katsu chicken as well as white rice and mac salad for $11.50! The plates are HUGE and sooo filling! If you are visiting Aloha Stadium, this is the perfect place for some great eats!!! read more

Mark's Drive Inn - Mini beef teriyaki. - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It's hit or miss taste wise, but that's just me. Did a pickup order a month ago and saw a skinned duck on the table in the dining area. Not my cup of tea but maybe people can stomach that. *shrugs* service is great though! Small, corner spot that's preferably grab and go. Very family style restaurant setting with max seating for 12. Had chicken katsu last week and it was okay...3.7/5. I'm a texture person. Once I chomp down on chicken skin or bone, I can't go on....like poor Celine Dion LOL support local. read more

Very reasonable prices and a LOT of food. Their special (chicken katsu/bbq chix mix) for $9.75 is well worth the price. They also have excellent Chinese food, from the salt and pepper pork chops, mapo tofu, or eggplant with ground pork. If youre in the area give em a try, youre sure to be pleased read more

First time ordering from here since the Pandemic. Previously, I enjoyed their chicken and pork cutlets and their lower prices then. Today, I ordered from here since I'm still searching for a good replacement for Aiea Chop Suey since their retirement, where my favorites were Wor Gau Gee Soup, no noodles, Minute Chicken Cake Noodle and Egg Fu Young to name a few. ~ Minute Chicken - Four stars for this alone, delicious, moist, juicy and the right amount of BBQ flavor. ~ Cake Noodle - Fried but not crispy. Noodles are chow mein, not thin Hong Kong type. Extra charge of ~$5.00. ~ Gravy - Packed separately as requested. Good amount of won bok and onion inside, but no taste. Really relied on the mustard and shoyu here. Service was fast. Ambience none. But, didn't expect it to be as it's literally a small local business. read more

Ordered a special combo plate that came with Bbq chicken and chicken katsu for $11.50. Also got a lemon chicken plate for $13. It came with Mac salad and bean sprouts. The prices went up slightly from last month, but that's true everywhere else. Portions are more than filling, and everything we ordered was yummy and flavorful. I really liked the lemon chicken (crispy and freshly made). And the lady at the counter was very courteous. read more

This was my first time trying Mark's and I was excited from all of the reviews. I tried to place a take out order via phone, but the line was busy for a while so I decided to go and place an order in-person. The line being busy gave me a hint that it was busy. When I got there, there were a few people dining in and 2 people in front of me. They were super fast and after ordering, the food came out within 10 min. I was so hungry I forgot to take a pic. I ordered the Chicken katsu and the BBQ chicken mixed plate. It was a huge plate, so definitely worth it. The chicken katsu was so crispy and juicy and the BBQ chicken has a nice ginger flavor. The mac salad was pretty good - not overpowering and it was pretty wet. I was super excited for this until I got to the rice. The outside of the rice was good, but the inner part was a bit chalky and dry. I think this was due to the rice being microwaved without enough water added to it. I didn't mind because I don't eat much rice and the chicken was really good. They probably keep prices low by reusing day old rice and reheating it, so this place is good to try if you can overlook the rice. read more

I was pleasantly surprised how tasty the food was and how much you get for the $! We loved the minute chicken on cake noodles! Definitely going back! read more

Food always tastes much so better when you can sit down and dine in. That was one of the things missing for a while now. So it's great that they have finally started to allow their customers to dine in again. Things like chicken katsu and lemon chicken taste so much better when you can eat it as soon as it comes out. Personally I am definitely a fan of their lemon chicken though I kinda wish that the sauce was a little bit thicker. read more

I'd compare Mark's to L&L as far as plate lunch style food, but offers a wider variety of food selections. They have local comfort plate lunch options as well as Chinese food takeout (noodles, etc.). Husband and I placed a phone order and our food was ready within 10 minutes. Service was quick, nothing fancy or terrible. It's a clean establishment and food was good. Very reasonably priced. I ordered a BBQ chicken plate with brown rice and husband got a loco moco. He didn't have any complaints so that means he was satisfied. My chicken was 'ono, nicely flavored and big portion. I'm a sucker for brown rice so any food establishment that offers it is a win for me. read more

Typical hole in the wall plate lunch mom and pop with chinese influence. Reasonably priced. If you're going to the swap meet its a nice option afterwards. Got the gau gee mein which you can only get in Hawaii. read more

Small place with very limited seating. I would recommend more for take out. The rating was pretty good so wanted to try this place. The food was very tasty and reasonable. Will definitely cater from them. read more

They are serving take out only. You can call orders in, I didn't do this, but it was still a quick pick up. Walking in there is a table with hand sanitizer and a basket to put your payment in. We ordered mini hamburger steak and a mini mochiko chicken. I stepped outside to wait for my order since the space is extremely limited. I got my order quickly and when I opened it at home it was still piping hot. The chicken was crispy and juicy. I don't care for mac salad so I opted for all rice. The hamburger steak was 2 patties, so much food for a mini plate! Cost was very reasonable, less than $20 for enough for 2 people. read more

Yummy, quick, reasonable food. Nice employees. Take out is the best. Not a lot of space to sit but a öot of parking.

$11.50 special w chicken katsu and bbq chicken is WORTH IT! Anywhere else would have been more but if I need cheap eats in salt lake here's the place! :) read more

Been a Mark's customer for years now. Food is reasonably priced, always tasty & ready in 10-15 min. Usually order the "Spiced Beef w/ Bell Pepper" or the "Beef Tomato" but everything I've ordered has at least been a solid 8/10. Oh, and don't worry if the ordering process feels a little confrontational, there's just a slight language barrier so it's unintentional . Great family-run restaurant. read more

Impressively fast! I saw Lee K.'s review about this restaurant being near base and I needed to find uncle's favorite chicken katsu right after work. Thank goodness it wasn't busy when I got there. Thanks also to Michael C. for his reminder that it's cash only at this establishment. Pretty nifty that they have reserved parking right in front. As soon as I walked in, the employees greeted me warmly. I couldn't help but notice the good-smelling food too as they were eating late late lunch in the dining room. I placed my order and while I was paying, I heard the cook preparing my order. Just like that, uncle's chicken katsu was done. It was hot and fresh! I totally agree with Jodi T. as this restaurant serves HUGE portions! read more

We stopped by after we went to the swap meet at Aloha Stadium. The place is basically take out with a few small cramped tables. My wife ordered Loco Moco and I had the chicken katsu Bbq combo. The food was spot on! The chicken was tender and tasty and the loco moco was good also. We could only eat 1/2 the meal so we enough for another meal. The price was reasonable $26 for two meals and a large drink. The service fast and friendly. I would highly recommend! read more

Kind of a dive- but great Hawaiian style plate lunch and other Asian food. I had the fish combo, which had 2 pieces of fish, 3 or 4 shrimp, 2 large pieces of bbq chicken rice and mac salad. All really good. The chicken had a bit more skin than I like, so I took it off. Still great flavor. Mac salad was good, not amazing. My wife had orange chicken. It was excellent. Very tasty. We also had an order of egg rolls. The sweet and sour sauce was what you would expect. The tools were slightly over cooked but still crispy and good. Great place to go in a rush or if you want a plate lunch fairly cheap. Btw, cash only. read more

One of those Underrated spots in the island. Great menu, great serving size (and I mean HUGE sizes) and great tasting food. They have all of the plate lunch classics and they're always consistent. Not much of a dine-in place but I personally don't find any issue with that. Service is always quick and easy, never had any issues with the workers in the front! Oh and the price... Probably top 5 in the island read more

I have lived on Oahu off and on for a total of 14 years and return to visit periodically. Throughout all that time, Mark's Drive in has held a special place in my family's heart. The shop is tiny and seating is limited, so it's best left to take out, but that is the only detractor. The staff is friendly and efficient and the food is pure Hawaiian comfort food. My favorite dish is the shell on dry garlic shrimp, but the chicken Katsu is the real star of the show. Forget L&L. This place delivers the goods every time. read more

During Covid Mark's had the grumpy old man (yeah, sounds like me) out front. He wasn't happy to be there obviously, and the food took a downturn as well. Post Covid, they're back to their sweet selves and the food is back to pre-Covid quality. Mochiko chicken and hamburger steak are my favorites. Really good seasoning. read more
