“ The food was amazing and they had egg rolls to die for, the Moco loco is so good. The gravy, fried egg, over rice with macaroni salad, I'm now a big fan of the Moco Loco. ”
“ A little pricey but they have very good portions. It's quite possible to share a single order of Chicken Katsu with another person. Unfortunately bathrooms are not open for customers to use most likely due to covid-19 restrictions. ”
“ Ordered chicken cutlet, kalua & lau lau, loco moco, saimin, and spam and chicken and katsu musubis. All of this tasted really good Took a very long time of waiting. There is indoor seating available. They also sell other random things like donuts and some east asian stir fry / saute style dishes. ”
