Awesome plate lunch place! Food was so good, we went back the next night! Try the pork chops! Winnah! The salmon was awesome too! My husband is a fan of the teri beef. Oh, and the Chicken Katsu is WOWS! We also tried the hamburger steak. Wonderful! And their french fries...woohoo! A friend catered from them and the food was fabulous as well! My mom liked it so much when we took her there for lunch, she took her girlfriends there for their weekly lunch outing. read more

Downward spiral. Been a long time customer since this place was on Kapahulu and they were always good. When I found out they moved to the University area instead of closing, I was a happy camper. Totally ignoring the menagerie of living and deceased insects on the walls, floor, tables and windows we returned because of the food. The food was good for a while, but the last few times the food was bleh. Being a loyal customer, I gave the cooks the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they were having a bad day. The teri chicken fried rice was the best on the island, but lately it has been bland despite all of the ingredients. The once tasty mochiko chicken has morphed into a sticky clump of congealed mochiko sauce and salt. So long One Plus One. You will bemissed. We'll always have Kapahulu. read more

If you weren't paying attention when you go there, you'd think you were in L & L's but the food isn't as good. On the up side, they have a huge selection of food and they have all kinds of specials. While the portions are pretty substantial, the food isn't that tasty and the service leaves much to be desired. The last time I went there, the girl kept looking at me like I was retarded while I was deciding what I wanted to eat (I know I can give off that vibe sometimes, but if I'm your customer, at least pretend like you didn't notice!). With all the other options that you have in Mo'ili'ili, like HK's right across the street, it's not my first choice to satisfy myplate lunch cravings. read more

This place is like any other plate lunch place with two exceptions. It has the best orange chicken I've ever had and one of the best Mac salads I ever had. The chicken isn't overtly sweet like many other Chinese places make it. Definitely a great spot for anyone in the university area. read more

For take outs for events and large platters, this place is good. If you like garlic, get the garlic chicken as they smother it all over, Chinese style BBQ. The mochiko chicken is excellent too. Impressive but didn't wanna share b/c I like their prices and don't want them to chase me away if they try raise them. I also have them cater large trays for school and sports functions; convenient location makai of old Star Market in Mo'ili'ili, with lots of parking. read more

This spot is really convenient! I always go here to grab a meal when I don't feel like going to fancy diners and spending a lot of money. A few of my favorite dishes are the garlic basa, the steak, and the chicken-mushroom dish! A suggestion I have is maybe use fresher tomatoes. read more

Got the job done. Not the highest quality, but I'm finding plate lunch spots to be hit or miss. Plus, their focus seems to me more about catering. But, if you're in the area and you're hungry, this is totally an option. read more

Had the roast pork w/gravy. Was good. Portion size was huge. Ate half & had the other half for lunch the next day. Price was a little over $8. If u ono for roast pork & hungry, try this place out. Will definitely go again & try some of the other dishes. Large plate lunch menu. Seems they do a lot of catering too. Saw people pickg up trays of grinds while I was there. read more

Decent mix of Asian fusion/Hawaiian bbq type food. Husband got garlic chicken and chicken katsu, son got spam fried rice and I got some eggplant tofu and a side of kimchi. The food was good but the green salad that came with the plate was all together. Hot and cold food mixed together made the salad pure slime when we went to eat it. Yuck. The other reason I took off a star was bc of the parking situation to pick up the food. read more

I work really close by and often times leave home from work early to grab lunch here. Sumo Drive-In has been open for a few month next door. There are times I want to check out the food there but One Plus One's consistency stops me every time. My favorites are the teri-chicken fried rice (huge portion), teri beef, roast pork, curry stew and surprisingly their spaghetti. They provide water and water cups in a huge jug for their customers and there is also a bathroom (upstairs, key required). It is never overly crowded and the air in the dining area is relatively cool. They always have the daily newspaper available which I particularly like. The only downside to this place is the chairs screech against the floor and the kitchen staff can't understand a lick of english. Whenever I ask for the bathroom key they have no idea what I'm saying, most of the time they ignore me when I try to get their attention so I guess that is worse! In closing One Plus One has been a reliable place for me to grab ono food back when I was in college and still remains solid today. Maybe one day I'll get around to checking out Sumo's but the little things like the water jug, bathroom and quiet environment will keep me away for just a little bit longer. lol read more

I've eaten at one plus one since They opened in 2004. It all started with the mochiko chicken. One plus one has been one of those sacred and obscure spots that people would come for cheap eats and wonderful choices. From years eating Mochiko Chicken, Loco Moco, And Their Seafood combo with BBQ Chicken they can satisfy. My father loves their Beef broccoli, loved when the rice gets small kind soak with that broth blended with the beef broccoli. Mother orders their Roast Beef, it's one plate that cannot be finished. My sister and girlfriend loves that chicken Katsu. Oh so Ono . If your looking for a cheap and not too pricy place. This is one joint you can't miss. The prices bumped but your gonna get that feed on baby! read more

This was our very first stop after landing in Honolulu, because I simply couldn't wait. All the food is good but the teri chicken fried rice is ICONIC. I'll be dreaming of it until my next trip. read more

As a broke college student who also has a standard for cheap food, One Plus One is my place to go. The prices here are very hard to say no to. 7.81 for HUGE plate of mochiko chicken. I've had mochiko chicken many times before at other places. But something about One Plus One's chicken makes me want to come back. Besides their generous portions that they give you, it tastes really good. Crispy, juicy, and tender chicken makes me crave it often. It can get addicting. I like to eat a lot too, so the amount of food they gave me for about less than 8 dollars left me satisfied. Their mac salad is amazing as well. I started putting tabasco on my mac salad after seeing another asian person do it and it was pretty much a gift from God. I've had their mochiko chicken and garlic chicken plate. They are both good but I always stick to their mochiko. Can't go wrong. I'm seeing bad reviews here about their service. All I have to say is just order your food and go. As long as you got your food you shouldn't have a problem. They even have AC for you. My go to spot because UH cafe charges 8-9 bucks for cold food that tastes like crap. Worth the walk down. read more

They give large portion sizes and the prices are reasonable. If you have a tossed salad side try the homemade Asian Salad Dressing.

Love eating here! My large club at the university usually gets our catering done by this place. We usually order the Party Pack C with katsu, BBQ chicken, noodles and more. I love the katsu, it's always crispy and tender. They are also very accommodating and generous with the portions. We always have leftovers. The same is true when ordering individually. The prices are very reasonable considering the amount you get and the quality of the food. As a university student, the location is great since it's so close to campus and in walking distance from the library and bus stops when I'm craving something different from the daily flavors on campus. The atmosphere inside is also casual and comfortable, like any other dine-in. read more

Great food. Clean establishment. Just needs to be more customer oriented on the phone.

We tried this place for lunch...food was good n they give alot! We tried the beef curry mix plate, steak plate, shoyu pork plate and pork chop plate...we all tried each others food n agreed that everything tasted good! Parking is diffucult here tho as its small n not enuff spaces...so we parked at longs across the street and walked over. We all liked this place and will be back. read more

See all

My go to plate lunch when I've had a long day of studying its just what I need to wind down the day I usually grab it to go. I like that the food is always piping hot when I get it. Portion size is generous and is enough to share or save half for later. I am a med sized woman for you guys that are more athletic you probably won't have left overs. read more

I guess I'm a creature of habit...I've been to One Plus One many a times and I always get the same thing: a combo plate with lemon chicken and mochiko chicken. The combo plates come with 2 scoops of white rice and mac salad. This combination never disappoints! The mochiko chicken is soft with a nice crisp. The lemon chicken is served with sauce on the side, so the chicken doesn't get soggy from the sauce. Prices have gone up recently, but at $9.50 a plate I'm happily satisfied for at least 2 (usually 3) lunches. You can pretty much order ANY of their menu items on a combo plate, but there will be a slight charge above the $9.50 if you get any of the special items or seafood items in your combo. You can do a free sub and get greens instead of mac salad, or for 50cents you can sub brown rice for white rice. If you want to do both subs (aka make your plate "healthy") it will still cost you 50cents. Today I stopped in to pick up lunch with a friend who ordered an orange chicken/roast pork with gravy combo plate. These items were both good based on my small samples, and I love how the roast pork was basically smothered in gravy! I really feel like I should try more of the menu here, but its hard to stray from the usual. Although I did grab a catering menu today...since I am often drafted to help plan work lunches, I thought it might come in handy. There are a number of set catering menus, or you can pick and choose trays as you like to make your own menu. Parking is very tight, as the lot is shared with the Gourmet Liquors store right next to One Plus One. If there are no stalls available, your next best bet is to find street parking along Coolidge Street or Hausten Street and walk over from there. My usual work-around is to just go with a friend and have one person get out to order while the other searches for parking. This can also help save time as sometimes there will be a little wait if its crowded or they're working on a large catering order. TL;DR - very limited parking, large quantities in combo plates, and bomb mochiko and lemon chicken! read more

I would say this is another one of my favotire takeout places with good value for the buck. Some of my faves include the cold ginger chicken, cheeseburger deluxe wth crunchy fries, & spicy eggplant. Brown rice is available too. read more

I went in this place the other day and got mushroom chicken. Although the food was not bad the inside of the place was filthy dirty. I made me sick to be sitting in there. It looked as thou it has never been cleaned. The layers of filth was thick and the help was very unfriendly. read more

This place for the first time that I've been for the food is okay but I think it's pretty pricey! I tried other places that are much better than this place by far. But, for me I would try at least twice but my bf he said that the chicken is good and the beef is that great! I bought the beef I was so disappointed and I barely ate it. For the Laulau plate is alright but I feel that you can have better laulau too! I guess its everybody preferences, opinions, and especially experiences that REALLY counts! I believe.... read more

Good value for the food and taste good. I had order the BBQ chicken, the size is bigger than I try the restaurant nearby.

This was my first time placing an order. I ordered their party pack and the amount that was given was more than accurate for the party size it was recommended for. Their prices are very reasonable and the food was very good. Everyone commented on how great the food tasted and asked where I ordered from. Definitely a must try if you haven't eaten here and if you need party packs...A definite recommendation. read more

I'd say it's a smaller version of L&L. It has the same type of food, the same prices, and the same kind of people who work there. Strange. They do plate lunches, and party platters if you need them. The thing that sets them apart from L&L is the colors. The bright orange walls can be seen from the street. Check it out. read more

The food there are delicious and service are excellence. The plate lunches there are reasonable and affordable. I would definitely recommend my friends and family to order lunch or dinner packs there. One plus one is the place to go when you need a cool to sit down and to enjoy the food. This place is better than L&L and you can get free cups of water by the entrance. I would have rated this place 10 stars, but the max is only 5 stars. read more

Just your normal plate lunch place. Their mochicko chicken is pretty good. Kalbi is fine. That's the only two things I've had. MInis are generally under $5 and regular plates are in the $6.50 - $7.50 range. read more

I decided to try something new for lunch today and added the GARLIC CHICKEN to the hamburger steak I always order. Mixed plate styles! But I ended up scarfing down the fantastic garlicky goodness without even looking at my hamburger steak! Uh oh... new "flavorite"!!! read more

Eat here on occasion, eh opulicious pay attention to the teri chicen fried rice, roast pork plate, and the menu in general !!! I'm skinny bitch read more

Looking for a last minute place to pick up an inexperience potluck dish? One Plus One drive inn is specializes in catering, platters, and conveniently located on King street, across the street from Long's Moiliili. At first glance, they look like another L&L barbeque copycat, but when you walk up to the menu board and look at the sheer number of choices from party packages to individual pans. I was in a rush, headed out to a potluck reunion at the St. Louis club house. Stopped by for their fried shrimp pan, ordered and received my potluck item within 10 minutes! Chinese restaurant quality, jumbo sized 16/20 black tiger shrimp, wok fried with crispy shell on. The only downside for this order, was the fact that they place sliced cabbage on the bottom of the pan, making the order look like a much larger quantity of shrimp. My guests were thoroughly impressed with the presentation, taste, and some even ate the cabbage with the yummy fried shrimp. This has been my second catered order from this establishment, and I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Mochiko chicken is yums. Pretty gnarly location and interior, but aren't all really good Asian food places?

This is a good place for picking up take out lunch/dinner. The food served here is Chinese style local plate lunch. I personally like the roast pork. Possibly the best in town. (that I know of) Parking is real tight so, good luck. Service is fair and wait is not too long. Good portions & prices too. If you found good parking and would like to dine in, they have a section with a few tables & chairs to do so. Not the best but, if you're really hungry, you can... read more

your average plate lunch restaurant. i go there 2 to 3 times a week to grab dinner. they are usually busy, but very efficient. i usually get garlic chicken (my favorite dish here), orange chicken (the sauce has lots of yummy garlic chunks) and bbq chicken. they have very generous portions and a small parking lot, which is convenient. they're not that friendly there, but i like hearing them bark your order in chinese into the microphone. they also have many many signs posted everywhere (where to order and pick up your food, where you can and cannot park in the lot, additional charges for brown rice, green salad on request, etc.) - it's amusing. lots of food for little money, fast - not bad at all for a plate lunch. read more

Nice little hole in the wall place. Fast service and tasty food. Good prices as well. They'll even let you create a combination from their daily specials. I loved the beef stew. Just what I was craving! read more

Picked up a tray of Bbq chicken for a school event and I asked them to cut the pieces into bite size. They obliged without any hestitation and didn't charge me extra. Parking can be a bit a challenge with a liquor store but it's ok to find any parking you can in the small lot. This place is popular with those who live around the area. Reasonable prices and good tasting food. Can't go wrong. read more

I found this place by chance. My favorite dish there is the "Shoyu Pot Roast". It is not for those who are on a diet. Portions are big enough to make a local "buddha...., I mean bruddah" feel full. I also like their "Roast Pork Plate." Again, not a dish if you are trying to lose weight. Prices are on par with other "plate lunch" places. Parking can sometimes be a hassle since there are only a few stalls. Other than that, you can't go wrong with this place. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get a plate lunch. The portions are nice and big. One of the things that I like the most about this place is that they're are very flexible and are willing to do just about anything. (They'll charge you for it, but they'll do it) You can make any combination you want, you can substitute the rice for fried rice (any of them) or noodles, and of course they're the tossed salad or brown rice if you want. I like the garlic chicken, spicy eggplant chicken, orange chicken, roast pork with gravy, and chicken wings. read more

One of my favorite restaurant, salmon is so delicious there and I come here almost three times a week

Best place for plate lunch. The beef broccoli is great and so is the Chicken Katsu, both which I recommend. Also good is the New York Steak combo, which is pricey. read more

It's an alright place to go if you need to eat. Cheap, fast and decent tasting. Don't use the yelp ordering system, I placed the order and it said ready in 20 minutes. Went there to pick it up, the order hadn't even been placed yet, they were confused. While we were waiting our order, someone from yelp called them and placed the order. What should have been 20 minutes turned out to be an hour. I understand this was not their fault as we normally phone order ourselves, but we wanted to try this new yelp ordering system. Won't discredit their establishment when it was obviously yelps fault. read more
