"We landed in Hawaii yesterday around 12 pm and we were HUNGRY. I didn’t want any American food I wanted some GOOD food. Let me tell y’all, you can taste the love in every single bite of this food! They have this thing called the Loco Moco (picture with the eggs) it’s literally so delicious! It a homemade patty with, rice, some chopped onions and gravy! And the chicken was just *chefs kiss* magnificent. We came here from Utah and we’ve been too some restaurants like L&L and Mobettahs- which are good also but this was amazing! I high recommend. Good food and even better people! The owners (I think) were so nice! Love them!"

"YES, YES, YES. 5 AM wake up calls for work? Brunch or early lunch? Thirsty? This the place to stop as you enter Sand Island Industrial / Business area. It's the first road on the right. Parking out front plus curbside available. Wait times after ordering no more than five minutes tops. All the food (fresh from the menu and their already made selection on the counter is YUMMY. Truly local style food made with aloha. You'll find me here on those early mornings -- check 'em out!"

"Super friendly staff. Quick service. Fair prices. And awesome food. The fried rice that came with the breakfast was really good. Also, the coffee wasn't weak, which is refreshing when it's included with the meal. Highly recommend."

"Good spot for breakfast and lunch plates. Really enjoyed the loco moco from here! Also quite a few options for lunch plates along with okazuya style plates and side stuff like musubis. Staff was chill, lots of cool little treats and stuff to look at and buy around the shop."

"Been here twice. The second time thinking it would improve but the food is ok. Nothing special, quality of food is low. Got breakfast once. Then came for lunch. Both under my expectations."

"Delicious food and very kind staff! The owner and her family helped us pick out great local dishes, explained the seasoning, and even shared her homegrown oranges and pineapple with us. Highly recommended!!!"

"It's a great place for breakfast (lunch as well), they open early and the food is delicious. We had loco moco and their breakfast special with spam, both very good. We also took out some bowls of freshly cooked rice and pork and rice and chicken to gi for eating later on. The owner was very nice. He said we can park anywhere on the street while buying food from Tatsuo's."
