Outer Orbit is a lively restaurant that offers a unique dining experience with its Hawaiian-inspired menu and partial arcade setting. The menu features a variety of dishes, from the Chicken Katsu Curry—togarashi fried chicken, white rice, Japanese curry sauce, sunny side up egg, and scallions—to the loaded nachos with steak, chips, cheese, jalapeños, and pico de gallo. The restaurant also serves popular items like furikake french fries, loco moco with grass-fed free-range beef, grilled rice, sunny side up egg, grilled onions, and Japanese curry sauce, as well as vegan and vegetarian options such as the spam musubi, burger, banh mi, and loco moco.
The ambiance of the restaurant is charming, with retro decor and old signs creating a nostalgic vibe. It has pinball machines, which are free to play on Thursdays, adding to the fun atmosphere. The interior is cute, and the bathrooms are nice, making it a pleasant place to visit. However, parking can be limited, though some spots are usually available. The restaurant is only open for families on Wednesdays and Sundays, which may make it less family-friendly during other days.
Overall, Outer Orbit is a great place to dine, offering delicious and unique dishes at reasonable prices. With its vibrant setting, craft beers, and vintage pinball games like Jaws, it is a fun spot for casual outings, whether with friends or a partner. The variety of plates, including favorites like the Chicken Katsu Curry and the Malasadas, makes it worth checking out for an enjoyable and tasty experience.
