Loco Moco Drive Inn Waipio

I ordered the lemon chicken, expecting it to be similar to orange chicken. To my disappointment, it wasn't. It was just their chicken katsu with cold lemon sauce on the side. Having cold sauce with hot chicken is not good, to say the least. If that was the only issue, I would've been fine with having to heat the sauce up myself. Which I did, but it did not save the dish. Not only was the chicken very heavily battered, but the batter was very hard. Not crunchy, actually hard. And the chicken in this nasty batter was paper thin, so the chicken to batter ratio was way off in favor of the batter. The last time I had chicken even close to this bad was when I accidentally microwaved left over chicken strips for 5 minutes instead of 2 minutes, and they ended up very rubbery. Needless to say I will not be ordering from them again.

And before you say that I must be exaggerating because you've eaten there before and the katsu was good, all I can say is that I must've gotten a bad batch. Also, they happened to be running a buy one get one free promo on this dish, so I actually got 2 plates of the lemon chicken for the price of one. I've already checked, and it's just as bad as the first plate. Needless to say, it went straight into the trash can, because I'm not going through that twice. Anyways, it seems to be a recurring issue with ordering delivery from some of these places in that they take it for granted that you're not physically at their restaurant, which means they can give you less than their best and not have to worry about you complaining about it or returning it for a refund. Trust me, I have never been that person to make a scene when my order is wrong, but this dish they sent me was pretty much inedible, and I can't help feeling like I got ripped off, despite getting 2 plates for the price of 1. Because getting 2 plates of batter when I ordered chicken is not a very good promo.

Haven't been here in a few years since I moved but man the prices have skyrocketed and portions have gotten smaller. Not a good combo for repeat business. $20 bucks for a combo plate, crazy!!! For a takeout plate lunch.

I ordered food but they didn’t have it at that time. But once I canceled, they still charged tip. They should let me know at first that they don’t have the menu i ordered.

Was not impressed with Garlic Ahi. The serving size was pretty good, but the flavors were lacking. Both butter and garlic flavors were missing.
