I was told by a friend that this place is THE PLACE to go to for loco moco. So why not try it out? There is spacious parking in this lot. Upon entering this establishment, I was a bit confused because there was a hawaiian restaurant in front of me and then a divider on the right which seemed like a sit down sushi restaurant. I guess it was two restaurants in one establishment. Anyways, I came for the loco moco. I ended up ordering the pulled pork loco moco and the chicken katsu. The lady who took our order in the front counter seemed overwhelmed as she was taking customer orders as well as phone orders. It didn't bother me so much that she was working hard, but it's nice to be in the moment with someone you're talking to.
When the food arrived, oh boy did it look good. All in all, it was okay. It didn't really hit the spot as my go-to hawaiian restaurant in LA. It was filling no doubt, but it felt a little bland. It definitely needed salt. The egg on the loco moco was overcooked. I never had pulled pork in my loco moco and I thought it was an interesting meat to add on, but I think the gravy needed to be more flavorful for me to really enjoy the meal.
The Hawaiian side of this restaurant is small with long table seating and maybe 3-4 booths. There are TVs to keep you company while you wait for your food. In all, this place is alright, but I know there are other Hawaiian restaurants in the area that I might want to visit prior to returning here.
