Loco Moco Drive Inn — Restaurant in Honolulu

This Plate lunch restaurant in Aiea is worth the visit. Clean dining room with simple inside outside seating. The highlights for me is that I had their Combo plate with hamburger steak with gravy, teriyaki beef and your choice of curry beef stew or just beef stew. I impressed with the hamburger patties they formed and made in house. They grilled my teriyaki to perfection (which there was some charring on the edges, the beef stew had some huge beefy chunks and giant carrots and potatoes. The Mac salad was perfect not to much mayonnaise and any kine vegetables or tuna. No need that stuff in Mac salad? I remember a place I went in the past and they had tuna in their Mac and they didn’t tell my friend who is allergic to tuna, brah he was out from work for 2 weeks because he had a reaction. People were telling him to sue but he chose to live through it then he told them what happened. Luckily the restaurant changed their preparation for Mac and chose to make a side order preparation with tuna. Well this restaurant has a basic prep without tuna. My only wish for this place is I wished they focused on making and offering different kinds of Loco moco with salted cabbage or kimchi. Like a beef stew moko, laulau moko with or without gravy, even a Katsu moko, or a teriyaki moco. They should just be simply creative. It’s in their name and they should specialize in it. I’d probably come in for a Kalua pig loco moko if they made a pork gravy. Actually I’d probably come back for that I’ll ask for the gravy. Plus they should make their own beef gravy because I can definitely taste the packet gravy they serving or they can add some beef bullion to...

Absolutely disgusted with bad manners and condescending attitude but I’m afraid the Chinese lady , owner, who was quit rude and arrogant wouldn’t know the meaning of condescending! We tried to dine in yesterday morning as I am a companion helper to a wheelchair disability person and I was treated like I was ignorant. Her condescending attitude when I asked for a menu to show my client outside waiting in his wheelchair so I could show him the menu items only to be met with “no menu!” “ Go to yelp!” I didn’t understand at first so I asked politely again and she snapped, “you know yelp!” In figured out that she didn’t want to serve us because he was in a wheelchair and that she didn’t want to have us dine in at their restaurant!

I call out to all the AD individuals to go and see if you’re treated the same! This is Hawai’i and she is definitely a foreigner and this is how we are treated! Shame on her and I will tell everyone how she treated us and...

Had the bbq burger platter. Bbq sauce was too salty for me. Don’t know if it’s always so salty or not. Next time I’ll try something else that doesn’t have bbq sauce. Portions were generous - good-sized burger, lots of fries, and a nice-sized serving of mac salad. I don’t usually eat fries and just eat the mac salad, but this time it was the reverse. I really liked their crinkle fries - nice and crunchy on the outside, and tasty! Found myself searching for the smaller, thinner fries that I could crunch on. Will definitely go back and try other items on their menu, with a...
