Cafe 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although Ken's is pretty good too
Problem is you have to rumble in the Jungle.

I've had The Alley's and Rainbow's. The Alley's is pretty good. I don't care for Rainbow's. The gravy is meh to me.
Not loco moco, but I really the hamburger steak from Shiro's.
For best loco moco, I can't think of one I would call "go to". The one from the old restaurant that was in Leeward Bowl and the restaurant that was on top of the Board of Water Supply building were awesome. Home/hand made patties were the key.
-
I can't believe Big City Diner didn't make the list! I like it with their fried rice.
-
If I'm eating loco moco it's probably because that's all that you've offered me.

Tom G’s in da House !
What about St. Louis Drive In.
Monstah Loco Moco.
Ken’s in Hilo is mean too.
-
Times Coffee Shop on Hamakua Dr in Kailua Oahu is good.
-
This is untraditional, but very good.
The company catered this in so I don't know where it came from.
It is linguine with chicken katsu smothered in alfredo sauce, topped with 2 eggs.

Not a fan of Rainbows but I prefer their fried rice with egg on top over their locomoco
Their quality went downhill over the years. I live in the neighborhood for a while. Not that it was cuisine to begin with either.

Cafe 100 is THE BEST on the BI. However, before they closed I thought the Desert Rose Cafe in Ocean View had the best Loco Moco.

I love eating loco moco. You guys going laugh but I like how Zippy's makes it. Only because Zippy's is close by to home and before the pandemic was a regular visit while shopping, etc. Loco moco at Big City Diner is really good too.
Actually the two components that make a good loco moco for me is gravy and the eggs. I don't care for thick clumpy gravy and prefer thinner and darker ones. And the eggs has to be over easy not over hard or over well done. Gotta be gooey so the eggs go "booooosh" all over the patty and rice when I hit it with the spoon. Spoon, not fork so I can scoop up all that goooey goodness.
Oh and if the patty is handmade more betta.

I also like Zippys loco moco, but it depends on the location. I liked the one from Waiau Zips and not the Piikoi one. Difference was the consistency of the patty.
And yes, gravy is key for me. I like gravy all over on many local plates. Same with turkey as well at Thanksgiving. Can’t be the packaged mix stuff. Blech
I never had loco moco from Big City Diner. I actually rarely eat there. Fried rice loco moco sounds good though. Will have to give it a try.

Char Su Fried Rice Loco Moco is broke da mouth 👄

As long as the gravy is good I don't really have a favorite loco moco. Fried rice is like bacon it makes anything better.
I've been liking the variations people are doing. Pancake and Waffles Aiea does a prime rib moco and Diner's Kalihi's Bradduh moco with corned beef instead of hamburger are both great.

YES!!!
I've tried variations. Some are good, some are "uh, not trying that again". Corned beef hash patty moco sounds good. I also want to try the chorizo hash versions.

+100 !

Gee, all this talk about loco moco and the variations make me like eat one now....... :D
Maybe tonight I go make home made version. I get all the ingredients.......

Corned beef hash with sunny side up egg over is our family standard, but never tried it with gravy.
I love to make spam musubi moco.
7-11 spam musubi.
Cut off and eat the nori.
Chop up spam musubi in bowl and throw couple sunny side up eggs on top.
Complete meal out of one spam musubi.
Never tried with gravy though.
Now I’m wondering......

Tried a few places this week being discussed here. Ordered eggs over easy.
Liliha Bakery - original location.
Ordered take out at the counter. Good service, ready in about 10 minutes. Gravy pretty good - it had that slight char that I like, but it had a distinct 'propane taste'. Eggs done perfectly.
Big City Diner - Aiea
Ordered take out by phone. Showed up on time, had to wait 10 minutes just to talk to someone and then another 5 minutes to get my order. Gravy so-so, patty pretty good, eggs slightly over done. Generous amount of gravy and onions.
Bottom line - I would not order these again.

LihiK,
Where’s your go to for Loco Moco ?
-
I asked my co-worker about this and he swears by Anna Millers.
I don't eat these much because runny eggs causes me to have runny.....

Don't have a favorite yet - but I'm working on it. Everyone - keep the suggestions coming!

I like Anna millers loco moco with a few mods.
Order: chili locomoco with fried rice. Over easy eggs. Like their brown gravy it's the dark kine not the light kind you get at l&l's.
Flamingo's pretty good too :thumbsup:
-
The only thing I don't like about Loco Moco when I eat out is they only put 2 eggs. If possible I ask for 3 eggs or I order a side order.
Gotta have that gooey goodness all the way to the last bite of goo-wavey, hamburga, and wice.

I get their fried rice with egg and BBQ Pork on the side. :thumbsup:
Loco Moko from Cafe 100 in Hilo topped with catsup. Mmmmmm. Have not had that since Mid Pacific Air closed down (used to fly in to work on equipment at Hilo airport).
-
Not sure I have a favorite loco moco place but let's talk variations. I think the best type is shredded kalua pig loco moco. Hamburger is good and all but I still remember the kalua pig one I got from cafe 100. It's easier to eat since you don't have to cut up the burger.

That's a first for me -- had to look it up.
Containing or composed of oil or fat.

Typically, I've found it's the "other way around" when folks use 25 cent words when a nickel would have sufficed. . .

True. Somebody has a "Word-a-day" calendar, and that just happened to be Unctuously's day!

To be fair, the author of the unctuous review did not go to Punahou.
He went McKinley.

beats me
I have a pretty big vocabulary but never heard that word before.
I notice that internet articles use a lot of unctuous AND unusual words nowadays.
Sometimes I think people are making sh--t up so that you have to dwell on the webpage longer. (ie.money)
In the past, dwell was something I did to my car engine.

Lol! If someone were to ask me what unctuous was, I'd just offhand guess it would be an obnoxious uncle..... :rofl:

Had the loco moco at Highway Inn - good gravy and char on the burger. I didn't like the mac salad. They were busy and the food took a while (20 minutes). I'd order it again, but with 'all rice'.

The Liliha Bakery original location one looks really ono! I like when the hamburger patty is charbroiled.
Love to eat Loco Moco with over easy eggs, rice, and mac salad. Gotta put Tabasco on the mac salad and the gravy.
I tried making Loco Moco at home with the NOH Loco Moko pkg. gravy. Came out junk. :(
